NEW CENTURY, Kan. – September 29, 2014 – CAV Ice Protection has received FAA approval to operate a repair station at their North American Operations Center at the New Century Airport (KIXD) near Kansas City. The limited accessory repair station is approved to repair and overhaul TKS ice protection equipment and has begun conducting repairs.
Prior to approval, the sole TKS repair station was located at the CAV Ice Protection manufacturing facility in Consett, United Kingdom. “The North American repair station provides us with the ability to be considerably more responsive to our customers’ repair needs,” said Thomas Stellwag II, repair station manager.
“The repair station is in the same facility with the engineering team who designed all of these parts and, as the manufacturers, we are uniquely able to diagnose necessary repairs,” Stellwag added. “We have equipment custom designed to diagnose and repair parts we manufacture.”
