Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

TransDigm Inc. (“TransDigm”) is launching a proposed refinancing of its existing $1,550 million Term Loan maturing December 6, 2016 with a new $1,550 million Term Loan maturing February 2017. The new Term Loan will not have any financial maintenance covenants. In connection with the proposed refinancing, the following information was provided to the lenders of TransDigm on February 3, 2011:

Since the acquisition of McKechnie Aerospace Holdings Inc. (“McKechnie”) closed, the integration process has gone as expected. To date, the following initiatives have been completed or are in process: (1) elimination of the McKechnie corporate office; (2) restructured TransDigm’s corporate office, adding an Executive Vice President and support staff; (3) installing TransDigm product line management structure to focus on value drivers; (4) consolidating certain operations (combining TransDigm’s Avtech facilities in Seattle, WA with McKechnie’s Tyee facilities in Everett, WA and consolidating Welco Operations into existing Matamoros, Mexico facility) and (5) reached agreement to divest Fastener business with Alcoa (pending regulatory approval).

The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
