The Road Trip – You walk in on Monday morning and your boss informs you of an engine problem on an airplane recently maintained by your shop. The customer was traveling over the weekend and got stranded just a few hours away. After several phone calls and some verbal troubleshooting, you determine it will be necessary to travel to the airplane and do some maintenance.
Before you leave, consider the following:
Perform the maintenance in a safe, professional manner, document the maintenance as required and return the aircraft to service only if you feel confident about the work that was done. Remember — the same standards apply no matter where the work takes place.
Take the lessons you learn on this road trip and file for later use.
