The FAA awarded Landmark Aviation’s FBO/MRO at Oakland (Calif.) International Airport Part 145 certified repair station status. Under the terms of the certificate, the MRO added limited airframe, engine and accessories ratings to its service offerings. Chris Lijesen, Landmark’s aircraft services manager, told AIN that the MRO operation has 6,000 sq ft dedicated to back shop support, material storage, inspection department and administration offices with access to 60,000 sq ft of hangar space to support the operation. There are seven employees with six technicians dedicated to maintenance; one is focused on avionics support.
“We also offer AOG support using a Mercedes Benz 3500 Sprinter Van equipped with a full complement of tools, nitrogen, oxygen, fluid-servicing equipment, basic parts, light bulbs and hardware,” Lijesen said. The service van is outfitted with a computer, printer and hotspot to allow technicians to access OEM technical data, along with technical data through ATP. An 18-foot dual axle tilting trailer is used to transport larger support equipment when necessary. The MRO also has a dedicated avionics support vehicle.
