What This Work Really Involves
It happens inside confined aircraft structures. It involves controlled solvent use. It directly impacts inspection timelines.
FoxTrot deploys trained MRO teams built for this environment.
Corrosion inhibiting compounds protect internal aircraft structures. During heavy checks, they must be fully removed to allow inspection and reapplication.
This is not surface cleaning.
Execution must be disciplined. Incomplete removal is not an option.
- Confined space entry
- Manual compound breakdown and extraction
- Strict PPE enforcement
- Coordination with maintenance schedules
Built for Active MRO Floors
CIC removal happens during induction windows where schedule pressure is real. We function as structured MRO support, not supplemental labor.
Defined Task Sequencing
Work is executed in a structured order aligned to inspection requirements, ensuring no areas are missed and no rework is required.
Shift Discipline
Teams operate within defined shifts and handoffs to maintain continuity, prevent fatigue-related errors, and keep timelines on track.
Direct Communication With Maintenance Leads
We stay in constant coordination with maintenance teams to align on priorities, access, and schedule changes in real time.
Supervised High Risk Operations
Confined space and solvent-intensive work is actively supervised to ensure procedures are followed and safety standards are maintained.
Safety and Technician Readiness
CIC work involves solvents, residue exposure, and high temperature environments. Technicians are cleared before they are deployed.
We enforce:
When the Aircraft Is Open, There Is No Margin for Error
CIC removal is not where you take chances.
Bring in a team trained for confined, solvent-intensive, inspection-critical work.
