TIP TWO
Call an FAA Certified Mechanic
FAA certified mechanics are often available on call. Since an airplane is not as easy to move as a car, many aircraft mechanics will travel to damaged planes, even on nights and weekends. This may be your best option if you notice damage during a pre-flight inspection or if damage is spotted during an inspection. The ability levels of mechanics may vary, so there is a possibility that the first mechanic that you deal with my refer you to another mechanic if the damage is extensive or complicated to fix.
TIP THREE
Have the Damage Repaired at the Airport
Airports have mechanics on site that are able to at least do minor repairs. If your aircraft is hangared at an airport or if the damage is sustained during the flight to an airport, the best option for repairs will usually be the airport mechanics. If you hangar your aircraft at an airport, you may even receive maintenance and repair discounts or packages that will make it less costly to repair your aircraft.
