Alberta Aero Engine

Alberta Aero Engine Ltd. is a privately operated aircraft maintenance organisation in Villeneuve, Alberta, Canada. It is a Transport Canada approved maintenance organisation under certificate AMO 274-91. The company has served Western Canada since 1990 and focuses on engines.

The shop specialises in Lycoming and Continental piston engines. For Lycoming, it lists carbureted, fuel injected and turbocharged variants, including the O-235, O-320, IO-320, O-360, IO-360, O-540 and IO-540. For Continental, it lists the O-200, O-300, IO-240, IO-360, TSIO-360, O-470, IO-520, TSIO-520, IO-550 and TSIO-550. Quotes are available for other engine types on request.

The company offers four main services. Inspections cover engines and components. Overhauls can extend the useful life of an engine and raise the resale value of an aircraft. Repairs include prop strike work, non-starts and accidental damage. Troubleshooting aims to find and fix a fault at its source. The team draws on over 85 years of combined hands-on experience.

The shop also does routine maintenance, complete overhauls, progressive inspections, repairs, troubleshooting and component servicing. Progressive inspections suit fleet work for flight schools and flying clubs in Western Canada.

The service policy asks for a deposit at the start of each major project. The balance is due when the work is done, before shipping. Parts buying and outside labour do not start until the deposit arrives. Repairs and overhauls follow all service bulletins and airworthiness directives that apply to the engine and its accessories. Every engine is tested before delivery, and the test data goes to the customer with the logbook entry.

Warranty length depends on the service done. It also depends on the engine's maintenance history, on compliance with service bulletins and directives, and on an inspection by the company. Factory new items, exchange items and parts from other maintenance organisations carry their own warranties.

Customers can request a quote online, by email or by phone. The company says its general response time is one business day. It suggests shipping to and from Villeneuve by Purolator, FedEx or Cold Shot.
