Aviation and aerospace organizations depend on accurate measuring and test equipment to support aircraft maintenance, manufacturing, inspection, repair, and quality control.
From basic hand tools to specialized avionics test equipment, maintaining an effective calibration program helps ensure that measurements used throughout aviation operations remain reliable, traceable, and properly documented.
Aircraft maintenance and aerospace manufacturing involve measurements that can directly affect the quality and reliability of components, systems, and maintenance activities.
Calibration helps organizations maintain confidence that the equipment used to perform these measurements is operating within its required specifications.
For airlines, MRO facilities, FAA repair stations, aerospace manufacturers, and defense contractors, calibration records can also play an important role in maintaining an organized and auditable quality system.
Aviation organizations may maintain hundreds or thousands of pieces of measuring and test equipment across multiple departments.
Common equipment includes torque wrenches and analyzers, multimeters, pressure and vacuum gauges, dimensional tools, temperature equipment, and other general-purpose measuring instruments.
More specialized aviation equipment may include pitot-static and air data test sets, NAV/COM test equipment, transponder and DME test sets, fuel quantity test equipment, and other avionics testing systems.
Calibration requirements ultimately depend on the equipment’s application, required accuracy, manufacturer specifications, and the organization’s quality requirements.
Large aviation and aerospace organizations often manage equipment across maintenance departments, tool rooms, production areas, inspection teams, and multiple facilities.
An effective calibration provider must be capable of supporting these recurring equipment volumes while maintaining consistent documentation and turnaround times.
KELI Labs supports both individual instruments and larger recurring calibration programs through a combination of in-lab and onsite calibration services.
Many aviation and aerospace organizations require calibration performed by an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory.
KELI Labs provides accredited calibration services for capabilities included within our accredited scope, supported by established procedures, qualified personnel, measurement traceability, and documented measurement uncertainty where applicable.
Customers requiring accredited calibration should verify that the specific measurement capability and range required are included within the laboratory’s current accredited scope.
Calibration turnaround time can be especially important in aviation, where unavailable test equipment can affect maintenance and production schedules.
KELI Labs works to provide efficient turnaround while maintaining the technical and quality requirements of the calibration being performed.
For larger equipment programs, scheduled onsite calibration can also help reduce shipping requirements and keep more equipment available at the customer’s facility.
KELI Labs provides calibration support for aviation and aerospace organizations ranging from airlines and repair stations to manufacturers, MRO facilities, and defense contractors.
With capabilities covering general-purpose measuring equipment as well as specialized aviation test equipment, our goal is to help customers maintain reliable measurements, organized calibration programs, and the documentation necessary to support their quality requirements.
