West Star Aviation is seeing strong early benefits from its March acquisition of DC Jet as it continues to strengthen its AOG (aircraft on ground) capabilities ahead of the busy summer season. With calls into West Star Aviation’s dedicated AOG control center already increasing, the added technician headcount and expanded tooling resources gained through the acquisition are enhancing the company’s ability to respond to customer needs quickly and efficiently.

Many aircraft maintenance professionals liken what we do as aircraft maintenance professionals to doctors. After all, doctors are responsible for the health and well-being of their patients. Similarly, we are responsible for the health and well-being of the aircraft we maintain.

Negotiation

The topic of negotiation has been on my mind for the past month or so. It seems as if many of our elected officials, especially in Washington, D.C., have chosen to abandon the possibility of negotiation, choosing instead to take hard-line stands on one side or another. Sure, we hear, “We are willing to negotiate….” from many politicians, but if they also say, “I am not willing to budge on XYZ issue,” then that is not the groundwork for negotiation, as we saw with the recent government shutdown.

Battelle Robot Fixes Airplane Windows

Columbus, OH - Battelle has developed a robotic system to repair airplane windows. This system is a marriage of the Automated Maintenance Robot (AMR), an existing Battelle technology, and a proven manual method of transparency restoration. The system not only removes bugs and chips, but refurbishes parts that can be reused, saving time and money while improving precision and consistency. When it's proven that the system is successful, it will be available for military and civilian use.
