An exchange is the perfect solution for AOG issues when you need to keep downtime to a minimum. If you need a part and can’t wait, Cox Airparts offers aircraft parts exchange with next-day service. We can ship an overhauled or repaired part out to you anywhere in the world and then you send in your core for overhaul or repair. Our inventory includes hydraulic components for top general aviation aircraft manufacturers including Beechcraft King Air and Piper PA-46. If you don’t need the part right away, a more cost-effective solution is to have it overhauled or repaired with single or dual-release 8130-3 certification.

How Does an Aircraft Component Exchange Work?
An aircraft component exchange is a time-saving process in which a worn-out or faulty part is exchanged for an overhauled or repaired part. The customer pays an exchange fee to have an overhauled or repaired part shipped out immediately. The core is returned within 30 days and evaluated to see if the part can be overhauled (overhaul exchange) or repaired (repair exchange).
Once the part is returned to serviceable condition, it is added to the supplier’s inventory. If the core is beyond economical repair (BER), it will need to be replaced because it will cost more to repair than the core is worth. In any case, the customer is notified about any bill back costs for overhaul, repair or replacement.

Customer Reviews
P-51 3/4 Scale Replica Build
I am building a ¾ scale P-51 that was designed by Marcel Jurca. I designed an electro-hydraulic retraction system to use instead of the hand cranked system in the plans. I secured a new Parker Oldine pump, which was pre set at 600 psi. This was not enough pressure to raise the landing gear. I was searching for a Prestolite pump, and through a series of calls ended up talking to Bryan Cox of Cox Airparts. After much discussions, he asked me why not just send him my pump and he would reset the internal by pass to give me 1500 psi which would be enough to raise the gear. Needless to say, the pump was shipped to him the next day. To my surprise it was back in my hands in less than a week and retracted the gear just the way it should. I am very pleased to say that this was one of the best experiences I have had dealing with venders.
Great Job On This Actuator
Thanks for helping us out with the 1280514-12 actuator. We flushed the system and installed new flexible hoses. We swung the gear many times and leaked checked with no leaks noted and everything worked good. Thanks again for doing a great job on this actuator.
Appreciate Y’all
I'm the installing mechanic for the Juergen Koehn's Rockwell Commander 114A GT power pack. I am very happy with the power pack and the information Cox Airparts provided during the overhaul. They were able to figure out the power pack we had installed was the wrong part number and got the correct one built and sent to us.
Amazing Expertise
“Rick’s expertise of hydraulic systems is amazing. He thoroughly understands the systems and can explain their operation in understandable terms. He accurately diagnosed a long-term problem I have been having in the gear system based on my explanation and findings. Rick’s accurate diagnosis saved me time and money chasing symptoms. I’m super happy with his service.”

FAQs
Is overhaul or exchange better for my aircraft parts?
The choice between overhaul and exchange comes down to when you need the part. If there’s an aircraft on ground (AOG) issue, exchange is the best option to get a part shipped out quickly. But if you’ve got time to wait, overhaul is the more economical option because you only pay for the overhaul costs.
What does bill back mean?
Bill back is the additional cost for the returned core to be replaced if it’s too worn out or damaged to be repaired or overhauled.
Can I just buy a new part without sending in my old one?
Unfortunately, we do not offer the option to purchase new parts outright. All part replacements require you to send in your old component first. For further details on this process, please contact our support team.
