| Jewell Aivaition, Inc Maintenance Policy |
|
Jewell Aviation has been in the aircraft maintenance business since
1975. Aircraft maintenance has always been and will continue to be our main
business. We have always prided ourselves in having the best quality
maintenance and most reasonable prices in the entire area. We have an I.A. and
over 40 years experience in general aviation maintenance and pride ourselves on
doing maintenance on all types of aircraft. The following is a summary of how
we conduct business and our cost.
Our normal procedure for inspection is to generate a list of discrepancies when
the inspection is completed. We then contact the customer and discuss what must
to be accomplished in order to complete the annual inspection. This is our
normal procedure unless the customer tells us in advance not to call him and to
do whatever it takes to annual the aircraft.
Our labor rate is $65.00 per hour. Our overtime rate is $75.00 per hour. Our
"Away From Shop" rate is $65.00 per hour. "After Hours" work is available, but
we must have your approval for overtime prior to the actual overtime. Our
normal working hours are from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Monday through Friday
and 8:00 a. m. to 12 noon on Saturday.
You may supply all of your own basic parts such as oil, oil filters, tires,
ect. Sometimes you can get them for a lot less than I can just by shopping
around for particular items. If you do not want to buy the parts yourself, then
we will be glad to get them for you, but we will be getting close to the list
price for them. Any parts that we order which are over $500.00 must be paid in
advance due to C.O.D. shipping methods used by the majority of our aircraft
parts suppliers.
We must receive payment when the aircraft is completed and picked up. The only
exception involves arrangements made prior to the pick up date. All log books
and paperwork will be kept until the work order is paid. We do accept most
credit cards.
We look forward to serving you in the future. Thank you for considering Jewell
Aviation for your aircraft maintenance needs. |

| Parts Deposit Policy |
|
Our standard policy is to get the engine into the shop and perform
a tear down and inspection. At that point we make a complete parts list and
advise the customer of the cost. We then order the parts and notify the
customer of the C.O.D. parts amount. This way the parts payment and parts
arrive at the same time. Some customers may want the parts sent directly to
them C.O.D., this is acceptable to us with the understanding that we make 10%
from our parts sales therefore, we would need to charge 10% above the C.O.D.
charge.
We accept MasterCard, Visa, AMEX, and Discover. There is a 3% service charge
for all credit card transactions.
The labor for the overhaul will be due when the aircraft is delivered or picked
up. We perform an engine break-in free of charge. The owner is expected to pay
for the fuel used during the break-in period. |

| Warranty Policy |
|
We at Jewell Aviation have a policy of 100-hour warranties or one
year which ever occurs first, on parts and labor for any defect in workmanship
on engine majors. This warranty is to be accomplished by us in our shop when at
all possible. Any work done without prior authorization voids our warranty. In
the event that the engine cannot be brought to us, we reserve the right to come
to the aircraft and make necessary repairs or corrections.
Jewell Aviation cannot be responsible for any problem with the engine caused by
an item or items such as accessories, which were not overhauled or replaced at
the time of overhaul as per the customer’s request nor items or parts supplied
by the customer. Items overhauled by anyone other than Jewell Aviation or
assemblies such as cylinders, starter clutches, etc are not covered under our
warranty, those claims should be made directly to the facility, which did the
manufacturing, overhaul or repair.
In the event of an improper break in or for some reason the rings do not seat
properly, Jewell Aviation will furnish the labor to correct the problem, but
the owner will be responsible for all parts. In the event that the owner
chooses not to bring the aircraft back to us to correct the problem, Jewell
Aviation allows a maximum of three hours per cylinder for removal and
installation; however, this needs to be approved by Jewell Aviation before
removal of the cylinders. Any cylinders removed from the aircraft must be
returned to Jewell Aviation for inspection prior to any work being done on the
cylinders. As mentioned in the above, we reserve the right to come to the
aircraft or to fly the aircraft to our facility providing the aircraft is still
airworthy.
All engines must use non-detergent oil for the first 100 hours of operation and
oil changes must be at 25-hour intervals for the first 100 hours. Due to the
manufacturer’s recommendation for parts, no auto fuel is to be used for the
first 100 hours of operation.
Jewell Aviation will not be responsible for any down time or loss of revenue
while repairs or adjustments are being made. |
