Help the Florida Repair Station Community

On Sept. 12, ARSA Executive Director Sarah MacLeod sent the following message to all of the association’s member contacts:

Last week, ARSA called on its members to help Texas maintenance facilities affected by Hurricane Harvey. Now, another storm – Hurricane Irma – has landed in another state and threatened another center of aviation business: Florida.
 
When our team went to the FAA repair station directory to pull a list of most-likely impacted repair stations, we realized that in a state like Florida, facing a storm like Irma, nobody is completely out of harm’s way. So, in lieu of an enumerated list I’m asking members to click here to download a spreadsheet of FAA certificate holders in the state. If you do business with a facility or know people working with one of these companies, give them a call – ask how we can support each other in this trying time (if you need contact information, you can search the internet or the FAA’s repair station directory).
 
As you do this, keep ARSA in the loop and ask us first if you strike any regulatory issues or need help dealing with the government. Also, let us know if the association should support any specific policy from Washington as lawmakers consider relief options.
 
Irma is barely finished, but we’re already watching Jose’s meandering path across the Atlantic. No matter what the weather brings, this industry must endure: the world can’t fly without us.

8/29/17 - (Harvey) Help the Texas Repair Station Community

August 29, 2017

On Aug. 29, ARSA Executive Director Sarah MacLeod sent the following message to all of the association’s member contacts:

The storm isn’t even over as I’m writing this, but the devastation of Hurricane Harvey seems beyond imagination. Emergency service agencies are overwhelmed by distress calls and private citizens have begun taking action to help their fellow Texans.

For the repair station community, the situation along the Gulf Coast is serious. Aviation businesses will face technical and economic obstacles as they try to recover and get back to work.

Most of us can’t float down the floodwaters to rescue stranded neighbors, but we can help. ARSA is calling on its members – no matter where they are located – to reach out to repair stations affected by the storm. Below is a list taken from the FAA Repair Station Directory of companies in Texas with coastal area codes. Review the names, in addition to any other Texas-based organizations you may know personally, and look for suppliers, competitors or partners. Find those performing similar work or supporting the same portion of the industry as you. Determine which might benefit from a simple check-in call and then pick up the phone. Remember that we’re all in this together and must support each other in a trying time.

As you do this, keep ARSA in the loop and ask us first if you find regulatory issues or need help dealing with the government. Also, let us know if the association should support any specific policy from Washington as lawmakers consider relief options.

Every day, ARSA reminds the world that it can’t fly without your work…today we remember that we can’t fly without each other.

Your Servant,
Sarah
