Maintenance Challenges...

Pilots,

It seems the mechanics we outsource to are backlogged... would've been nice for them to mention that a week ago. Regardless, we're trying to force through the following squawks that have aircraft grounded:



Cessna 08V is awaiting an inspection of her stabilator bearings to complete her Annual. We hope for her to be done by Friday.

Cessna 04H is awaiting a Fuel gauge to complete her 100hr, we expect this today. We hope for her to be back on the line tomorrow.

Cessna 20U is awaiting a seat pawl to repair her broken copilot seat. We hope for her to be back online Thursday.

Piper 85Y is awaiting the rebuild of one of her aux fuel pumps to complete her 100hr. We hope for her to be back online Saturday.

We are tapping our foot impatiently at the various vendors which are holding us up. I apologize for the extended maintenance windows on all of these planes.

More as I know it.

Santa Ana winds are here. Morning winds have been favoring Runway 7 -- a nice and turbulent change of pace.

Blue Skies,
