Inspection

All parts are laid out and fully inspected for any wear or damage. Specialist Woodward test equipment is used to examine the condition of the rotor and pilot valve; the main controlling parts of the governor.

All parts are checked against the specification of the governor to ensure they are correct parts. The Technician then uses the bill of materials to make a list of all the parts that need replacing, which are documented with a coded system indicating the reasons behind the necessary replacement. This list is then sent to the customer for approval. If necessary, photographic evidence can be sent to the customer to show the damage that has taken place and why it is advisable to replace the parts.
