  A Maintenance Sergeant (NCOIC) reports:
|
A 12 yr Old TEWS
Still in Use Today |
(We cannot disclose
his name or location for security reasons)
In his own words-
The fact that the TEWS is self contained is the unit’s strongest
selling point.
Having to drag the UWS,
buckets, hoses, extension cords, a generator, or a power adapter
for the aircraft (which units rarely have or the aircraft plug does
not work), plus gas path cleaner, and, of course a tool box, out
to the aircraft to do an engine flush takes more time than the actual
engine flush.
The TEWS goes in the back
of the gator, gets filled up, rolls out to the aircraft, hooked
up (the hoses are attached to, and come with the unit, along with
the hot section adapters), started, and then used.
The whole set up process
takes less than half the time of the UWS. Also, logistically, the
TEWS takes up much less space then the UWS, buckets, hoses, adapters,
extension cords, generators, and power adapter cords.
