Burlington Air Center
Even though Burlington Air Center developed its
Mobile Response Team within the last couple of years,
the company has been providing on-the-road service
backed by its Part 145 Repair Station to customers for
decades with standard tool ups that they grab from
their own boxes into " go-bags. " " In order to become
more efficient and keep customers happy, we decided
to invest in a truck and a trailer that we keep everything we could possibly think of on to perform almost
any job, and the best part is all we have to do is load
our toolboxes (the trailer fits two side-by-side) onto
the trailer and go. It's a system that's proven us well
so far, " explained Robert Hintz, A&P, Mobile Response
Team Leader at Burlington Air Center.
The maintenance company has one dedicated position for the Mobile Response Team, which is Mobile
Response Team Leader, and the other mechanic positions on the team depend on the workload of the
job they are traveling to and the scope of the work
being performed.
" We designed our trailer to do any major phase/
document inspection on Citation series Cessna's and
King Air's, as well as scheduled/unscheduled maintenance of Hawker's, Pilatus', Gulfstream's, Falcon's,
and Learjet's on the road, " Hintz noted. The trailer is

outfitted with everything from miscellaneous hardware to avionics repair kits, jacks, oxygen, nitrogen,
ground power cart, hydraulic mule, consumables,
everything Burlington thought it would ever need
just in case while on the road. " We pride ourselves
in being able to be as self reliant as we are, " he said.
In an AOG situation, Burlington is capable of routine servicing and maintenance...tire change, service oxygen/nitrogen, oil/hydraulic servicing and
extensive troubleshooting of airframe, powerplant
and avionics systems.
However, Burlington's capabilities extend far past
AOG situations. They have the capabilities to perform
and have performed landing gear component changes
and gear swings, hot section inspections, major avionics upgrades and much more all on the road.
" The key benefit for our shop having a dedicated
Mobile Response Team is that we know when we get
an AOG call we don't have to waste time tooling up,
packing or trying to remember if we grabbed all the
necessary consumables, " Hintz explained. " We load
a toolbox and we are on the road quickly with no
wasted time and everything we need within reason
to get the job done efficiently. "
Burlington's response unit has a printer/scanner
that stays on the trailer, giving them the ability to do
logbook entries and other necessary paperwork on
the road while at a facility that doesn't have printing or other similar capabilities. Additionally on the
trailer is a winch that is able to run off of its mobile
ground power cart to assist with the loading and
offloading of heavy equipment like toolboxes or
engine crates.
Hintz says that one the company's goals is to purchase additional mobile units to service multiple airports at the same time with multiple mobile teams.
" With the way Aviation is trending, we are hopeful
it will be sooner than later, " he pointed out.
