AMTI provides corporate aviation with professional maintenance consulting and management services that many individual owners, operators and small flight departments lack. This makes it possible for any operator to take advantage of the benifits that large flight departments have in professional maintenance management and control.

All maintenance facilities - independent or factory owned - operate like other businesses: to make a profit. Your best interests are not always the maintenance facility’s primary goal. Does your maintenance facility have the required experience / training of your aircraft?
If not, this can result in higher than normal operating and maintenance costs.

Below are excerpts from an article published by Business & Commercial Aviation in April of 2005 entitled “The Wrenching Truth” by Lou Churchville. As a consumer of maintenance services, do any of these sound familiar to you?

“A shop is only as good as its people and only as circumspect as its leadership. While new and clean hangars are impressive, glistening white floors and customer lounges with a big screen television do NOT get the work done – the people in the hangar do.”

“As a potential maintenance customer you should be familiar with the metrics of a sound maintenance management process.”

“Scheduling maintenance with no maintenance plan is like taking off without a flight plan, knowing only the destination.”

“There are many ways to protect the parties from the vagaries of aircraft maintenance inspection outcomes that can affect the schedule and final bill. Whenever possible, you should have a representative on site during the course of the maintenance visit who is knowledgeable on maintenance matters and has the authority to make decisions regarding what can be deferred, and what work can be done for how much.”
