Describe the complete visit
Explain work away from the shop, including arrival, aircraft access, repairs, testing and release. Include any ground run or flight involvement. A visit that expands in scope needs review against the accepted activities.
Review custody and completed work
Aircraft custody can matter even when the business owns no hangar. Ask how damage during work and later maintenance allegations are addressed. A customer’s aircraft policy does not establish the mechanic’s own protection, and liability questions can continue after sign-off.
List tools and customer parts
Separate owned tools, stock and customer property. Include items in vehicles and at customer sites, with values and custody arrangements. Check the actual territory and off-premises terms instead of assuming all airports or truck contents are included.
Keep permissions and records clear
Provide airport and hangar requirements, staff roles and outside-provider agreements. Technical authority is a separate review. Retain work orders, identifiers and changed instructions so the visit can be reconstructed.
Bring the mobile operation to BWI
Submit services, locations, values, personnel and claims records. Identify planned expansion. Compare the offered liability and property terms, deductibles, exclusions and reporting conditions before relying on a quote.
A practical review example
For example, a scheduled inspection at a customer hangar may lead to a request for a ground run. Identify that additional task before treating it as part of the accepted service. Check the person, aircraft, location and activity against the actual policy. Keep the changed work order and any required insurance confirmation with the original visit record.
Keep the comparison record
- Record the parties and interests being reviewed.
- Keep the same values and activities in each proposal.
- List exclusions, conditions and unresolved requests.
- Retain the final confirmation and policy documents.
