Magneto Overhaul / IRAN (inspect & repair as necessary) and USA or Europe?

I have spoken to SureFly about EASA approval and they said that they had no timeline for obtaining EASA approval and that It would be submitted when all of their systems are completely finalized.

They did say that they had sold units into europe for N reg.

Real shame. I’m sick of mags.

D3000 – I don’t think so.

hey I had my eyes on the surefly mags too and I totally agree! no point in overhauling old mags
but they have not received EASA certification yet have they?

Don’t overhaul your magneto, get a Surefly electronic mag ;-)

But seriously, they seem to be the bee’s knees according to people who installed them.

Straubing, Roeder .. both are arrogant and over priced. I couldnt get any help from Straubing for anything less than 4 digits euros even for a simple ASI overhaul.
I had my ASI overhauled in UK and got my mags done in Belgium at PMM Wings.

I called Roeder some time ago and the guy told me they speak only German and deal only with German customers. I should add that others here have disputed that this could possibly be true, but it is worth checking if you are not based in Germany. They also went bust fairly recently, which usually has implications for anyone who has stuff there at the time it happens.

Above links contain some other candidates for overhaul work, FWIW.

BTW it is often confused (I’ve done it too) between an overhaul and an inspection. For ~700 you might get an inspection+repair (IRAN). An overhaul tends to cost more because they have to strip the castings, NDT them, repaint, etc. Prices in the US are in a similar area AFAICT.

On a D3000 I would take absolutely no chances. If it breaks in a big way, you are going in only one direction, and it isn’t going to be upwards

Guys I highly recommend PMM Wings at Belgium. They have been doing all my mag work and at excellent prices with incredibly fast turn around time.
The price/performance ratio for anything firewall forward is really fantastic. Check them out. They also very fast in responding to emails.

4-year overhaul incl. standard parts of a Bendix D6LN-3000 EUR 755 + VAT (current price in October 2019) at Roeder in Egelsbach/Germany (www.roeder.aero). Turn-around time 8 – 10 working days. Two other overhaul shops in Germany have a turn-around time of 2 – 3 days but are more expensive at ca. EUR 1.300 + VAT.

Any 2019 price for a D3000 overhaul in Europe?

I paid 749€ + VAT to a german Part 145 facility for a D3000 overhaul in late 2016.
The overhaul included :
“overhaul after 4 years or 500h operation time. Inclusive coating& standard parts as follows: main contact points, ball bearing,spring impulsecoupling, felt washer, felt strip, self-lockingscrew, nuts for coil”
Discarded components were returned in a separate bag along the magneto.

So it looks like our facility is on the mark with a competitive price!
