Reliability in aviation begins well before an aircraft returns to service. It starts at the test stand. Our 5606 Red Oil Test Stand plays a vital role in supporting the safe and dependable operation of DHC-6 Twin Otter aircraft by providing comprehensive testing of hydraulic and oil operated components using MIL-PRF-5606, commonly known as red oil.
This dedicated test stand is designed to simulate real world operating conditions. By controlling pressure, flow, and temperature parameters, our technicians can evaluate component performance with a high level of precision. Each unit is verified to operate exactly as intended before installation, helping operators reduce unscheduled maintenance, improve reliability, and maintain confidence in critical aircraft systems.
