Flight School Fleets Targeted
Business aviation maintenance provider Jet Support Services and
training aircraft leasing company Brown Aviation Lease announced
Monday they are working together to develop a new Piston Engine
Maintenance Program. Targeting flight school fleets throughout the
United States to launch the program, the joint venture will provide
hourly cost maintenance programs for Continental and Lycoming
piston engines.
“We have considered the piston market for years,”
commented Louis C. Seno, CEO for JSSI. “Working with the
great people at Brown Aviation Lease, we will enter the market and
offer valuable services to schools that are operating a fleet of
piston airplanes. As a piston aircraft owner myself, I can relate
to the challenges of managing maintenance expenses and accurately
budgeting for overhauls and unexpected events,” added
Seno.
JSSI and Brown Aviation Lease plan to design programs for piston
fleet operators that will reduce financial risk and provide budget
stability and predictability, while saving on maintenance costs.
Universities, flight schools and FBOs that operate a fleet of
piston aircraft will be able to enroll their engines on an hourly
cost maintenance program that will cover scheduled and unscheduled
maintenance as well as future mandatory and recommended service
bulletins, future airworthiness directives, and conversions for
alternative fuels.
“These programs are being developed in response to
industry demands, and we are excited to be leading this innovation
with the experienced group of maintenance experts at JSSI”
stated Jason Griswold, Managing Director of Brown Aviation Lease,
LLC. “Lou and I have known each other for years, and we are
both passionate about finding ways to support the general aviation
market, especially within the universities and flight schools that
are training the pilots and technicians of the future.
