Frequently Asked Maintenance Questions

Essential answers for aircraft owners, pilots, and operators seeking reliable maintenance and inspection services.

What’s the difference between an A&P mechanic and an IA?

An A&P (Airframe & Powerplant) mechanic can perform maintenance and repairs, while an IA (Inspection Authorization) can conduct annual inspections and approve major repairs or alterations.

Can I hire a mobile mechanic for remote airstrips?

Yes. Many certified mechanics offer mobile services for routine maintenance or emergency repairs at remote locations.

What’s included in a 100-hour inspection?

A 100-hour inspection checks airframe, engine, propeller, controls, avionics, and safety equipment to ensure compliance and airworthiness for commercial operations.

How do I schedule a pre-purchase inspection?

You can book an A&P or IA through Avioyx by specifying aircraft details and location. The mechanic will assess logs, structure, systems, and provide a full condition report.

Can avionics be inspected separately?

Yes. Specialized avionics technicians can diagnose, test, and troubleshoot radios, transponders, GPS units, and ADS-B equipment independently.

Are all maintenance providers FAA-certified?

We verify certifications during onboarding. Look for 'FAA A&P Certified' or 'IA Authorization' tags when booking.

Do I need logbook entries for on-demand maintenance?

Yes. FAA requires that all maintenance be documented. Our providers supply digital logbook entries with sign-off after service.

What’s the difference between scheduled and unscheduled maintenance?

Scheduled maintenance follows the manufacturer’s or FAA’s intervals. Unscheduled includes unexpected issues like flat tires, faulty instruments, or bird strikes.

Can mechanics work in hangars not owned by the aircraft owner?

Yes, provided the facility allows guest mechanics and the work complies with local airport or FBO policies.

Is tool calibration part of the inspection service?

Critical tools used for torque, pressure, and measurements are calibrated per FAA regulations. You can request proof of calibration if needed.
