Frequently asked questions
- Should I overhaul my engine at TBO?
- TBO (time between overhauls) is the manufacturer's recommendation, and for Part 91 operators it is not a hard limit. The right answer depends on compression and borescope results, oil analysis trends, how the engine has been flown and whether the aircraft will be sold. We will give you a straight assessment rather than an automatic yes.
- Do you overhaul engines in-house?
- We remove, inspect and reinstall engines and coordinate the overhaul with a specialist engine shop, then handle the installation, break-in and return to service. That keeps the work with the people who do it every day and keeps our pricing transparent.
- What does AOG support mean at Islander?
- If your aircraft is down at or near Pompano Beach Airpark, call us. We will tell you honestly how fast we can look at it and what we can do, and we can work at another location on a case-by-case basis under our operations specifications.
- Who signs off the repair?
- Repairs and alterations on the aircraft in our FAA-accepted Capability List (Rev. 8) — Beechcraft Bonanza/Baron and 19/23/24, Piper PA-28, Cessna 208, Cirrus, Diamond, Epic — and inspections and minor repair of the listed Lycoming, Continental diesel, Austro and PT6A-67A engines are returned to service under our Part 145 certificate. Anything not covered under the list is still performed by Islander, as Part 91 maintenance signed off by our FAA-certificated A&P and IA mechanics. Either way, every repair is recorded in the aircraft's logbooks with the approved data used.
Part 145 and Part 91 — who signs the work
