Maintenance & Engineering Support Services Division

You and/or your pilot staff train rigorously for years and hundreds of hours to be the most capable and safe flight crew.  The same is true of our maintenance professionals who are certified airframe/powerplant engineers many with inspection authorization and decades of experience managing and performing aircraft maintenance at the highest safety levels and for the most efficient expense.  Accordingly, many owner/pilots and pilot-only flight departments leave their professional maintenance oversight to us.

Most people assume that if they take an aircraft to a manufacturer or FAA certified Repair station that they do not have to worry because they are hiring the best.  This is a common illusion.  While there are some FAA-certified mechanics at the manufacturer service centers who are competent, these facilities are only required to have one FAA-certified mechanic per ten non-certified technicians who all operate under their oversight.  Consequently, manufacturer service centers and 141 repair stations famously use this loophole to employ non FAA-certified, inexperienced or no experience “technicians” who will work for less to bring down their labor costs.

Now you know why your squawk resolution is taking far too long or taking multiple trips back and forth or why your guaranteed parts program was charged for replacing a whole system with new parts.  Being a manufacturer technician may literally mean they were just promoted off the wash rack to troubleshoot your aircraft problems.  We make certain the service center technicians assigned to your aircraft are competent and stay with the plane throughout its visit.

A typical aircraft coming out of service center maintenance may have multiple squawks as a result of disassembly and reassembly.  Many brand new aircraft post production and going to delivery flight test have dozens of discrepancies to be resolved despite being new production.  Accordingly, using Premier experienced flight test pilots eliminates your exposure to the inherent risks of these flights.

With Premier as your Director of Maintenance, you save valuable time and money by deploying our FAA-certified maintenance managers overseeing the care of your aircraft maximizing efficiencies, performing audits, operating with global maintenance reach and having long-term relationships with aircraft manufacturers.  Our service is very reasonably priced and we definitely will make flying more enjoyable in many different ways:
