Projects History

Below you will find a brief history of the main APU projects Swanaero has been involved with over the years.
Since starting business in 2006 we have owned 137 APUs to date, giving us a great deal of experience covering a range of APU types.

Three 36-150DD APUs for teardown

In late 2023 we purchased three 36-150DD APUs serial numbers P-198, P-228 and P-262 for teardown. All had been removed from Dornier 328 Jet aircraft for Turbine Rotor replacement.

The APUs arrived at the workshop of Standard Aero / H+S Aviation in UK in late December 2023 for disassembly. Teardown commenced in January 2024 and the parts from P-228 came into our stock in February 2024 and the parts from P-198 in March. Serial number P-262 will follow with certain parts currently being repaired.

36-150W APU for teardown

In November 2023 we purchased 36-150W serial number P-415 for use as a teardown.

The previous owner sent the APU for repair but decided not to proceed so we purchased the APU in disassembled condition.

The parts were moved to our facility in the UK in late December 2023 and we are progressively having key items made serviceable during 2024.

Another 36-100G APU for teardown

In August 2023 we purchased 36-100G serial number P-606 for teardown.

The APU was shipped to CD Aviation’s workshop in USA for the teardown process.

SV & OH items are due in our stock early December 2023.

Two 331-250H APUs for teardown

In January 2023 we purchased 331-250H APUs serial numbers P-1094 and P-1456 for teardown to parts.

The APUs were shipped to Dublin Aerospace in Ireland for disassembly and parts inspection.

The SV & OH parts from both APUs came into stock at Swanaero in September 2023. We also have a range of repairable LRUs out for repair in late 2023.

Another APU 36-150RJ for teardown

In December 2022 we purchased a 36-150RJ APU serial number P-583 for use as a teardown.

36-100M APU P-201 for teardown

In October 2022 we purchased 36-100M APU serial number P-201 for use as a teardown. The APU was sent by the previous owner for repair but they decided not to proceed and we purchased the unit in disassembled condition. The APU was sent to StandardAero / H+S Aviation in the UK for the teardown, serviceable and overhauled parts came into our stock in December 2022.

Two more 36-150R APUs for teardown

In October 2022 we purchased 36-150R APUs serial numbers P-151C and P-211 for use as teardowns.

In August 2022 we purchased 131-9A APU serial number P-3747 which we used for teardown. The APU was sent to TurbineAero’s workshop in Thailand for disassembly.

The APU failed borescope inspection so was unserviceable and the previous owner removed all its LRUs leaving a bare core, making it a good candidate for teardown to parts.

The APU was disassembled and the parts were inspected in late 2022. Certain items were repaired in early 2023 and the serviceable and overhauled parts came into our in stock in April 2023.

Another CRJ APU 36-150RJ for teardown

In September 2022 we purchased a 36-150RJ APU serial number P-1057 for use as a teardown.

Five APS-1000C3 APUs

In July 2015 we purchased five APS-1000C3 APUs to use for parts salvage. Four of the APUs were disassembled having been deemed BER. Initially we made a range of LRUs serviceable and these have been selling well so we are continuing to make more LRUs serviceable to support customer needs. A number of the piece parts we also sold and others remain in our stock.

One of the APUs part number 4501690A serial number SP-E967477 was used for LRU recovery then the ‘bare’ APU was sold to a workshop for spares salvage.

Two 36-150RJ APUs P-325C & P-386

In June 2015 we purchased these two APUs in as removed disassembled condition after they were deemed too expensive to repair at a workshop. We salvaged the remaining good LRUs and internal items which are now in stock.

36-150M APU P-152C

In December 2014 we purchased this APU in disassembled condition after it had been sent for repair but became too expensive for the previous owner to proceed.

Using serviceable parts from our inventory we had the APU rebuilt to zero time from HSI condition and held it our stock.

Unfortunately for us no operators seemed to want to pay for a nice zero time unit so in 2018 we took the decision to teardown the APU for parts which include a new Compressor Rotor and various other high usage items.

36-100M APU s/n P-233C for teardown

Although this APU was in serviceable condition the demand for 100M APUs is low so in early 2012 we elected to send it for teardown, knowing that almost all the components would pass inspection. Parts came into stock in September 2012.

331-200ER APU s/n P-1056 Purchased and Repaired

In October 2011 we purchased another 331-200ER APU serial number P-1056. This unit was ex Northwest Airlines and was repaired at Piedmont in late 2011. We used this APU for leasing for two and a half years before it was sold in USA late 2014.

Two APS500C11 APUs s/n SP-E994295 & SP-E004393

In late 2011 we purchased these as removed APUs which were sent to Revima-APU for repair.

SP-E994295 was made serviceable and returned to Swanaero stock and subsequently sold to a customer in early 2013.

SP-E004393 was too expensive to repair and was declared BER. We had most of the LRUs tested and tagged with Form 1s and returned to our stock.

Another BER 36-150 APU purchased for parts

In November 2011 we purchased 36-150M APU s/n P-275C from Falco for use as a teardown project. The APU had been sent for repair but proved uneconomical to rebuild so Swanaero purchased the remaining parts which were inspected/repaired and tagged by H+S Aviation.

Three 36-100M APUs and one 36-150M APU

In October 2011 we bought one serviceable and two disassembled 36-100M APUs plus a disassembled 36-150M from BAE Systems. All four APUs were used for part out and we now have a range of serviceable parts available, see APU parts for details.
