Engineering

The maintenance organisations and engine shops that take outside work, and what they’re like to deal with.

Your own hangar can take one aircraft at a time for a heavy check. For more, or to keep your engineers on line work, these maintenance organisations take outside work. Price and pace are against doing the same check in your own hangar.
