Maintenance and Modifications, AINmxReports

Dallas-based AAT Aircraft Maintenance has been certified as an FAA-approved Part 145 repair station. The certification allows the MRO to perform light to heavy maintenance and major repairs and modifications on the Gulfstream II/IIB/II-SP/III/IV and Hawker 700/800/800XP.

"Certification allows us to serve aircraft owners and operators throughout the region," said Brian Allen, one of three partners of AAT. Allen told AIN the maintenance facility has been in operation since June 2008 working out of a 50,000-sq-ft hangar.

"We have 10 FAA-certified airframe and powerplant mechanics and two avionics techs," he said. "We specialize in heavy inspections, maintenance and structural repair.

FAA Part 145 repair station approval affords us the opportunity to expand our services and allows us to become the primary maintenance source for many corporate and private aircraft in the region." AAT Aircraft Maintenance is based at Dallas Executive Airport and provides maintenance to many local Dallas-based aircraft as well as transient clients.
