Mobile Maintenance
Aviation M.D. Inc. is based out of Murfreesboro TN. However, we offer our Mobile Maintenance Service where we come to you! We have a trailer full of supplies in order for our team to get the job done. Our Mobile Maintenance Service is offered to accomplish any of the available services listed on this page, at an additional charge.
Major Repairs
Any type of repairs that may appreciably affect airworthiness by changing weight, balance, structural strength, performance, powerplant operation, or flight characteristics.
Alterations
Any alteration affecting the airframe, aircraft engine, propeller, flight instruments, landing gear, flight controls, or other alterations affecting airworthiness, to include if necessary, all required Supplemental Type Certificates (STC).
337 Forms
All forms will be fully accomplished and documented in reference to AC 43.9-1F
Pre-Buy Inspection
A full day inspection, or more if required, of the prospective aircraft, using the Annual Inspection checklist provided in FAR 43 appendix D and/or Chapter 05 of each aircraft maintenance manual. A full maintenance repair squawk list will be provided to the prospective purchaser of the aircraft.
Test Flights
Test Flights are offered at a nominal fee and may be accomplished based on individual circumstances to include: Pre-Buy Inspections, Annual Inspections, 100 Hour Inspections, overhauls, or other airworthy conditions. The pilots provided will perform as pilot in command (PIC), and second in command (SIC) if required, depending on the aircraft’s certification and insurance requirements.
Dye Penetrant Test
Dye penetrant inspection, is a widely applied and low-cost inspection method used to check surface-breaking defects in all non-porous materials (metals, plastics, or ceramics). The penetrant may be applied to all non-ferrous materials and ferrous materials. Dye Penetrant Testing can also be accomplished along with other services we provide, at an additional cost.
Annual Inspection
A complete inspection of the entire aircraft is accomplished and fully documented. All inspections accomplished will have as a minimum the items required by FAR 43 appendix D and/or Chapter 05 of each aircraft maintenance manual.
100 Hour Inspection
All aircraft under 12,500 pounds (except turbojet/turbopropeller-powered multi-engine airplanes and turbine powered rotorcraft), used to carry passengers for hire (commercial operation: passenger carrying, cargo), must have received a 100-hour inspection within the preceding 100 hours of time in service.
Additionally, an aircraft used for flight instruction for hire, when provided by the person giving the flight instruction, must also have received a 100-hour inspection.
A 100-hour inspection may be substituted by an annual inspection, but the reverse is not permitted. The 100-hour limitation may be exceeded by not more than 10 hours while en route to reach a place where the inspection can be done. The excess time used to reach a place where the inspection can be done must be included in computing the next 100 hours of time in service.
The 100-Hour inspection must be performed by an FAA-certificated A&P mechanic, an appropriately rated FAA-certificated repair station, or by the aircraft manufacturer. Aviation M.D., Inc. is an FAA certified maintenance and repair company, managed by an A&P/IA mechanic with over 40 years experience.
Overhaul
An engine which has been removed, disassembled, cleaned, inspected, repaired as necessary and tested using factory service manual. The procedure generally involves honing, new piston rings, bearings, gaskets, oil seals. A top overhaul is also offered if the owner does not request a complete overhaul.
Propeller Dynamic Balancing
Dynamic Prop Balance is the process whereby an electronic balance is used to measure the vibration produced by the aircraft power plant. Small trim balance weights are added to the propeller/crankshaft assembly to correct for errors in mass distribution and to reduce power plant vibration due to mass imbalance to the lowest level practical. This work is performed on turbine engines, piston engines, along with helicopter engines.
