How we prepare planes for missions:
At MMS, we provide free labor to mission organizations who have a need for
aircraft repairs to be done. Currently, with over 500 aircraft in missionary
service, there is a continuous supply of aircraft needing regular and special
maintenance. As an FAA certificated repair station, we accept repair and upgrade
requests based on the experience our apprentices need toward their airframe
and powerplant mechanic's certificate. Missions benefit from this because we don't
charge them for our labor. Our staff and apprentices' living expenses are
covered by their own supporters. Our apprentices benefit by gaining much
needed experience on active mission aircraft, doing repairs much like what they'll be
doing in the foreign mission field. Missions organizations not only receive top-notch
maintenance, they also realize great savings as their only expense is for replacement
parts.
