PW part shortage might even help them fixing the engine, as long as the parts with shortage are not damaged and there is enough manpower to swap components.
Quite optimistic to get it flying in a day.
Is there a hangar available with cranes etc or is it a bootstrap job outside?
How quick can a team be assembled, airside passes verified, accommodation secured, transport?
What about post engine function checks and ground runs, power assured?
Be lucky to get it done in 3 days and that's without hitting any snags.
