Default What do you do about maintenance?

Been there. It sucks. Basically you've got to find the old A&P guy who
thought he'd retired and convience him to come out to help you on the
ramp when you have a problem. Luckily, the airports that are too small
to have roaming full time A&Ps are also too small to care that you're
working on the ramp.

Picture an airport where MX services are limited. Perhaps because there's
no real shop at the airport, but maybe just a couple of independents that
work out of their hanger. Or perhaps there are shops but they're
"imperfect" (ie. unwilling to work on anything that's not scheduled two or
more weeks out, low quality work, or one or more other problems I'm sure
we've all experienced).
