Frequently Asked

Common questions from operators.

What aircraft does Plane Place Aviation service?

We specialize exclusively in three business jet families: Hawker (800, 800XP, 900XP, 1000), Citation (550, 560, 560XL/XLS, 650, 680), and Challenger (300, 350, 604, 605, 650). Our shop, tooling, and technician training are dedicated to these specific airframes — we don't context-switch between unrelated aircraft families.

What is an FAA Part 145 repair station?

An FAA Part 145 repair station is an independent maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) facility certified by the Federal Aviation Administration to perform airframe maintenance, inspection, repair, and alteration. Plane Place Aviation holds Part 145 certification, which means our quality control, training, tooling, and recordkeeping meet the same regulatory standard as OEM-authorized service centers.

Where is Plane Place Aviation located?

We're based at Cleburne Regional Airport (KCPT) in Cleburne, Texas — about 30 minutes south of DFW. Our facility spans 40,000 sq ft of hangar space across three hangars with a comfortable lounge and office area for visiting crews, plus quick ramp access and minimal taxi delays compared to busier metro airports.

Do you offer AOG (Aircraft on Ground) response?

Yes — we provide 24/7 AOG response across Texas and Oklahoma. Our mobile maintenance team can come to you, whether your aircraft is grounded at a regional airport or at a major hub. For AOG support, call us directly.

What inspections do you perform?

We perform the full range of scheduled and unscheduled inspections for Hawker (4-year, 8-year, B/C/D/E/F/G phase), Citation (Phase 1 through Phase 5, annual), and Challenger (96-month, 192-month, phase inspections). We also perform landing gear overhauls, structural repairs, avionics troubleshooting and upgrades, and pre-purchase inspections (PPI).

Do you handle pre-purchase inspections?

Yes. Pre-purchase inspections are one of our core services. We deliver thorough, audit-ready documentation that protects buyers and gives sellers confidence in the aircraft's condition. PPIs are particularly important for protecting resale value on Hawker, Citation, and Challenger aircraft.
