You're based at a small airport without any maintenance facilities.
Do you:
A) Fly the plane out to another nearby airport to get worked on.
B) Call the nearest FAA office and ask for a special flight permit.
C) Arrange for a mechanic to come to your airport and work on the plane on-site.
D) Come up with a solution I haven't listed.
If you opt for answer B), what do you do if the FAA denies you a special flight permit? |
I'm assuming you're a renter. Stuff like unsked MX is included in your rates. Call a mechanic, order some pizza, and hang out for a while.
