Douglas DC-10 Accessory Repair Services

Introduced in 1971, the Douglas DC-10 provided airlines with wide-body capacity and intercontinental range using three engines, competing with the Lockheed L-1011 TriStar in serving high-capacity long-haul routes. While most passenger DC-10s retired in favor of more efficient twin-engine aircraft, the type continues valuable service as freighters and military tankers (KC-10 Extender) where its capacity, reliability, and cargo door configurations remain advantageous.

Four Star Accessory Overhaul provides comprehensive DC-10 accessory repair services for operators maintaining these wide-body aircraft in continued cargo and military service. Our capabilities span hydraulic systems with the extensive capacity three-engine wide-bodies require, pneumatic components, power generation units, electromechanical accessories, and fuel system components supporting both cargo and tanker operations.

Our FAA and EASA certifications enable seamless service for DC-10 aircraft regardless of registration, supporting commercial aviation cargo operators and military tanker fleets with the obsolescence management and technical expertise that out-of-production wide-body aircraft require. Our experience with legacy systems ensures continued DC-10 operations as OEM support becomes limited.
