KLM Engineering & Maintenance
Today I haeded to KLM E&M at Schiphol-Oost. This for the continuation of the KLM project. We are already behind schedule and Paris is putting the pressure on us. So we have to put a rush on it.
With approximately 5,000 employees, KLM Engineering & Maintenance is the third Business of KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, next to Passenger Transport and Cargo, and one of the largest MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Operation) companies affiliated to an airliner in the world. At Amsterdam Airport Schiphol KLM E&M use 10 wide body and 11 narrow body positions and various modern warehouses, shops and test facilities.
KLM E&M consists of several SBU's (Site Business Units); Wide Body Base Maintenance, Maintenance unit Narrow Body, Line Maintenance, Engine Services, Component Services and Engineering.
KLM Engine Services
I was at the unite Engine Services, while Brenda, Grietje, Freddy, Marcel and Judith went to other units. It was a very interesting day and I learned a lot from the people at this Unit. I had on my KLM uniform (as we must for the KLM project), but I quickly learned that this is not allowed in the unit, so I got a t-shirt and jeans from the secretary... specially for visitors of this unit.
Working area of Engine Services. They can overall engines from General Electric, Pratt & Witney, Trent and Rolls Royce. GE are their specialty though.

A video I uploaded to YouTube of me in the PUC

It was a very long day in that noisy place, but at least I got what I had to do done. After we were done, we put back on our uniforms and had dinner at the Bemanningcentrum at SPL. After that we said goodbye and headed home. When I arrived home, there were friends of my mother visiting, so I sat and talked for a while.
Het was gezellig!
After a while I called it a day. Now I am going to shower and catch my bed. It has been a long day!
