Fly in with
a plan in place.

Coordinate with the shop before departure

Use the existing service request form to discuss the aircraft, the work needed and your preferred timing. Confirm the shop’s availability and arrival arrangements before making the trip.

• Confirm the aircraft meeting point, access and parking or unloading arrangements.
• Agree on aircraft handover, keys, records and who will be available when you arrive.
• Discuss whether you will stay locally or leave the aircraft and return later.
• Confirm a collection plan directly with the shop before booking a return trip.

Use current airport information

Airport conditions and services can change. Check current airport publications, weather and NOTAMs as part of your own flight planning. This visitor guide provides shop-visit planning resources; use official aviation publications for flight information.

Fuel, parking & ground arrangements

Confirm fuel availability, parking or tiedown arrangements and any FBO support directly with the airport or FBO before arrival. For shop access and aircraft handover, coordinate directly with 406 Airframes. Do not assume a shuttle, courtesy vehicle or rental car will be available without a reservation or confirmation.

Make Hamilton your base

If you plan to stay while work is underway, explore local lodging and visitor resources. Confirm room availability and ground transportation directly with the provider; lodging listings do not imply a shop partnership or airport shuttle.

Before you leave home

• Confirm the visit and arrival plan with the shop.
• Prepare your records, written discrepancy list and any requested equipment information.
• Arrange your own onward transportation and lodging if needed.
• Review current flight-planning information and recheck airport arrangements.
• Keep the aircraft handover and collection contacts available during the visit.
