Modification & Repair Worklist Below is a list of modification and repair applications that are awaiting review by our engineers. The top of each list represents the next one in that list to be reviewed. Each engineer's workload is listed separately - engineers also have tasks that are not mods and repairs. New applications received in the last week are not shown and will be added to the relevant engineer's list shortly after allocation (allocation usually takes place each Tuesday). The lists are not currently real time, but will be updated at least weekly. Note that we operate a priority system that aims to put jobs involving accidentally grounded aircraft ahead of longer term projects - new or returning tasks may therefore be added above existing tasks. Our apologies for the current length of the work queue which has been due to staff absences combined with a high number of new and returning applications. We're working hard to get through the projects and are looking to put additional resource into clearing the backlog. Thanks for your patience.
