Landing Gear Exchange Programs
Programs allow minimal downtime, scheduled or unscheduled removals, supplier delays, capacity issues.
Av8 provides landing gear exchange programs designed to minimize aircraft downtime and AOG exposure. These programs allow operators to install serviceable landing gear assemblies while their original equipment is undergoing overhaul.
All exchange units are maintained in accordance with approved maintenance programs and released with full FAA/EASA-compliant documentation for immediate return to service.
4 Benefits of Av8’s Landing Gear Exchange Program
Optimize Efficiency & Minimize Downtime
Our exchange program is designed around your maintenance timeline. We coordinate delivery to align with your scheduled events, inspections, or AOG situations so replacement gear is ready when you need it. This minimizes aircraft downtime, simplifies planning, and keeps your operation on schedule.
Flexible Pricing Options
Av8 offers more overhaul pricing flexibility than any other provider, including Fixed Rate, Base+, and customized structures to match your maintenance strategy. Whether you prefer predictable flat-rate budgeting or a variable structure based on gear condition, we tailor solutions that help you control costs and avoid surprises.
shipping containers Included With Exchanges
We provide dedicated shipping containers with every exchange to streamline logistics and protect your assets. Our loaner crates simplify removal and return, reduce shipping risk, and eliminate the hassle of sourcing specialized transport equipment — making the entire exchange process seamless for your maintenance team.

This mobility speeds up changeouts, improves shop-floor safety, and keeps critical maintenance work moving without unnecessary delays
