Hire Aviation Mechanics (A&P / IA)

An aviation mechanic with an A&P (airframe and powerplant) certificate keeps your aircraft airworthy, and one with Inspection Authorization (IA) can sign off annual inspections and major repairs.

Post the work with the aircraft and the airport. Mechanics who work on that type can apply, and mobile mechanics who travel to the field can too.

What You Can Hire Them For

  • Annual and 100-hour inspections
  • Squawks and troubleshooting
  • Avionics installs and repairs
  • Pre-buy inspections
  • An aircraft stuck on the ground away from home (AOG)

Helicopters Too

Helicopter maintenance is covered too, including rotor systems and transmissions. Pick the helicopter type in your post so mechanics who work on it apply.

Common Questions

How do I find an aircraft mechanic near my airport?
Post a job with what you need, where and when. Members who fit it can apply, and the ones who match best are told about it. Compare their experience, message them, and book the one you choose. The rate is agreed between you. Mechanics who work on your aircraft type at or near your airport see it.
My aircraft is stuck on the ground away from home. Can I get help fast?
Post an urgent AOG request. Mechanics within 150 nm are told straight away, and the first one to take it is booked.
Can I get a pre-buy inspection before buying an aircraft?
Yes. Post a maintenance job for the pre-buy with the aircraft and its location, and mechanics who know the type can apply.
