West Star Offers Dallas-based Mobile Support Team
West Star Aviation has added a mobile support team (MST) to its Dallas facility.

West Star Aviation has added a mobile support team (MST) to its Dallas facility. “All of the techs at the Dallas facility are available and ready to support the MST,” Sam Haycraft, executive v-p of operations, told AIN. “All team members are A&P mechanics and who [is dispatched] depends on what type of aircraft they’ll be working on.” The MST is set up to handle light maintenance discrepancies, inspections and engine changes. According to Haycraft, the team has a dedicated van and has been averaging about three responses a week.

“Once the team is mobilized they stock the van with the parts they feel are appropriate for the assignment. It’s primarily a function of talking with the customer to get a good idea of the problem or exactly what kind of maintenance is being requested. The team then stocks the van accordingly,” he said.
