Dallas-based AAT Aircraft Maintenance has been certified as an  FAA-approved Part 145 repair station. The certification allows the MRO  to perform light to heavy maintenance and major repairs and  modifications on the Gulfstream II/IIB/II-SP/III/IV and Hawker  700/800/800XP. "Certification allows us to serve aircraft owners and  operators throughout the region," said Brian Allen, one of three  partners of AAT. Allen told AIN the maintenance facility has been in  operation since June 2008 working out of a 50,000-sq-ft hangar. "We have  10 FAA-certified airframe and powerplant mechanics and two avionics  techs," he said. "We specialize in heavy inspections, maintenance and  structural repair. FAA Part 145 repair station approval affords us the  opportunity to expand our services and allows us to become the primary  maintenance source for many corporate and private aircraft in the  region." AAT Aircraft Maintenance is based at Dallas Executive Airport  and provides maintenance to many local Dallas-based aircraft as well as  transient clients.
