Introduction.

This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment”) amends the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2006, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 29, 2007 (as so amended, the “Current Schedule 13D”), on behalf of TD Group Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“TD LLC”), Warburg Pincus Private Equity VIII, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (together with two affiliated entities, “WP VIII”), Warburg Pincus LLC, a New York limited liability company (“WP LLC”), Warburg Pincus & Co., a New York general partnership (“WP”), and Warburg Pincus Partners LLC, a New York limited liability company and a subsidiary of WP (“WP Partners LLC”, and together with WP VIII, WP LLC and WP, the “Warburg Pincus Reporting Persons”).  Charles R. Kaye and Joseph P. Landy are each Managing General Partners of WP and Co-Presidents and Managing Members of WP LLC.  This Amendment relates to the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of TransDigm Group Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).

TD LLC and the Warburg Pincus Reporting Persons (together with TD LLC, the “Reporting Persons”) are making this single, joint filing because they may be deemed to constitute a “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).  Each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of all shares of Common Stock to which such Reporting Person does not have a pecuniary interest.

Unless otherwise indicated herein, each capitalized term used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Current Schedule 13D.

Item 5.                    Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5 of the Current Schedule 13D is hereby amended and replaced in its entirety as set forth below.

(a)           On November 26, 2007, TD LLC distributed an aggregate of 3,478,233 shares of Common Stock to its members (the “TD LLC Distribution”).  The TD LLC Distribution was made on a pro rata basis to all members of TD LLC and no consideration was received by TD LLC in connection therewith.  WP VIII is a member of TD LLC and, in connection with the TD LLC Distribution, received an aggregate of 2,936,989 shares of Common Stock.  Immediately following the completion of the TD LLC Distribution, WP VIII distributed all of the shares of Common Stock received by it in connection with the TD LLC Distribution to its limited partners and WP Partners LLC on a pro rata basis (the “WP Distribution” and, together with the TD LLC Distribution, the “Distributions”).  WP VIII did not receive any consideration in connection with the WP Distribution.

Immediately following the completion of the Distributions, each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own 17,873,259 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 37.3 % of the outstanding Common Stock, based on the 47,873,259 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of November 15, 2007.

(b)           Each of the Reporting Persons share the power to vote or to direct the vote and to dispose or to direct the disposition of the 17,873,259 shares of Common Stock it may be deemed to beneficially own.  The Reporting Persons are making this single, joint filing because they may be deemed to constitute a “person” or “group” within the

meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act.  The filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission of such beneficial ownership or that the Reporting Persons constitute a person or group.

(c)           Other than the Distributions, no transactions in the Common Stock were effected by any Reporting Person during the past sixty days.

(d)           Not applicable.

(e)           Not applicable.
