A&P in Kansas City PA28R

[ZeroAviation]

Gents,

Moving back to the area and basing my 72 PA28R at KLXT. Looking for an A&P IA that works with owner assisted annuals and maintenance.

Any suggestions?

Cheers
Matt

I know an owner at LXT, I’ll see if he has any recommendations.

I keep my Twin Bonanza at LXT. Best A&P in the area, IMHO, is Matthew White (MJ Aviation Innovations) who just so happens to be based at LXT. In my experience, Matthew is, understandably, cautiously open to some level of owner-assisted MX. As you'd expect, you're gonna first have to convince him that you know what you're doing and that your owner-assist won't be more of a hindrance than a help. But once you develop a relationship and level of trust with him, I think you'll find he's pretty flexible.

Matthew does maintain several Arrows and a variety of other Pipers, so you're in good hands with him.

I just heard back from my contact:

+1 on Matthew White.

That might be by invite only, a current member might have to "recommend" a new member. I'm a member, too.

I will be living in Lenexa. LXT was the closest with a hangar available. Would have loved IXD or OJC but they said 5-6 year wait.

Lenexa, ehh?

I'm there M-F every week.

Your first post said you were moving back - where are you now?

Can't swing a dead cat without hitting a POA member in Olathe.

They always say that, go ahead and put your name in at IXD though. It'll be a lot quicker than OJC.

Well, if you'd stop coming over with your dead cat....

$450 for a 50' door hangar suitable for a proper airplane (Twin Bo).

Will do!

Still cheaper than a T hanger for a single in Philly lol
