  1. When do you plan on replacing them?
    1. We have completed a economics and reliability study of the units to determine the depreciable life span of each unit type to guide the long-term replacement plan. See the pasted document. 
  2. Do you perform fleet maintenance internally or externally?
    1. It is managed in two parts. 
      1. Part one is internally by EVT's internally for PM's, small to medium scale work. And some limited large scale work.
      2. Second part is externally with contract EVT's with regularly scheduled testing and as required for OEM work.
