BUSINESS AVIATION SUPPORTING THE MAINTENANCE FUNCTION

摘要

Virtually all aircraft require maintenance in some form or other. The military along with airlines generally operate maintenance depots along with field support groups in strategic locations capable of handling the rigors of our profession. Specialized shops and fixed base operators provide mechanical repair along with an array of services to fit the needs of smaller general aviation aircraft. Traditionally, aircraft and some engine manufacturers establish service networks for operators of their products while larger maintenance repair organizations (MRO) exist to provide services for a significant percentage of the business aircraft fleet. Some larger corporate flight departments do staff for varying degrees of aircraft support. Capabilities range from accomplishing daily and routine checkups to and including major inspections and overhaul.
