Moving Towards Authorized Service For Most LSA Models
US Aviation Services, a division of US Aviation Group, is
taking steps to become a national/regional factory authorized
service center for the maintenance and repair of the majority of
Light Sport Aircraft models. Rotax and Jabiru qualified A&P's
are already on staff, and factory authorizations from the majority
of Light Sport aircraft manufacturers have been obtained.
"We perform routine services such as oil changes and conditional
inspections, and have the capability to accept aircraft in Texas
instead of returning them to the factory for major repairs. This
will ultimately reduce insurance premiums due to lower repair costs
for the industry. We have a broad knowledge of Light Sport repair
and manufacturing and have great relationships with the LSA
manufacturers. This is critical to cost effective and legal
maintenance for light sports." said Scott Severen, Director of
Business Development for US Aviation.
"Because of the way the ASTM Standards are written for LSAs,
routine maintenance is a different issue than general aviation,"
said Butch Johnson, Director of Maintenance. "The FAA requires that
any replacement parts conform to original factory specs and there
can be no substitutes without factory authorization. This means
there must be a very close relationship between the maintenance
facility and the factory to ensure that, in the event of an
insurance claim or legal issue, the repairs and paperwork are all
in order. It's a technicality that is easily overlooked." Johnson
said there may already be a significant number of LSAs out there
that are technically not in compliance.
US Aviation provides Light Sport, Single and Multi Engine,
Turboprop and Jet Maintenance services, is an FAA 145 Repair
Station U9FR750K, and Full Service Executive FBO that delivers
quick turn line and fuel services at Denton Airport, Denton, Texas
(KDTO).
