EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE
Allied Aviation currently has in place an aggressive maintenance program in which each piece of into-plane fueling & support equipment receives at least 10 to 14 hours of preventive maintenance and quality control checks each month. These checks meet our customers' specifications and airline quality control manual requirements. In addition to these maintenance procedures, at the beginning of each work shift the fueler conducts and documents an inspection of the piece of equipment he/she will be using. The documentation of these inspections is reviewed on a daily basis by a supervisor to insure that any discrepancy noted has been properly repaired. The following is an outline of Allied Aviation’s equipment maintenance program:
