Choosing a maintenance shop in Alaska
- Book ahead of the summer season. Annuals, float installs and ski changeovers all compete for hangar time in spring, so book early.
- Know who can sign off the work. An A&P mechanic can do most maintenance, an annual inspection needs an IA, and a Part 145 repair station works within the ratings on its certificate.
- Allow time for parts. Parts often come from outside the state, so ask about lead times, especially if you are away from Anchorage or Fairbanks.
- Use specialists where it helps. Alaska has dedicated shops for engines, cylinders, propellers, NDT and Super Cub modifications.
- Keep the paperwork. Make sure logbook entries, Form 337s and STC paperwork come back with the aircraft.
