“This is a great achievement and a reflection of the hard work and dedication of our entire team,” said AirCorps Aviation General & Accountable Manager Erik Hokuf “Earning this FAA certification as a Part 145 FAA Repair Station adds an important new dimension to the work we do every day in support of our current and future customers in the aviation industry.”

 

The Repair Station will advance AirCorps’ focus on component repair and fabrication, and leverage the years of experience and resources at their disposal. Erik Hokuf, Lance Sumstad, Sharon Grey, and the rest of the AirCorps Aviation team worked diligently to earn this sought-after certification. As a Repair Station, AirCorps will initially start with a Limited Rating with landing gear and accessories as ratings.
