Missionary Air Group (MAG) operates a Cessna 206 in Rus Rus, Honduras. Rus Rus is in the easternmost department of Honduras not far from the border with Nicaragua. The plane is under US registration, so an FAA certificated mechanic with an Inspection Authorization (IA) is needed to perform the annual inspection. The pilot/mechanic, Westley Wiles, who flies and maintains the plane doesn't have an IA, so MMS Aviation was asked for help. I am able to sign off annual inspections and it was an opportunity to get away from the office and be an airplane mechanic without wearing my administrator's "hat".

Flying over Eastern Honduras Friday afternoon.
Rus Rus is a very small village with a few houses and a clinic/hospital. MAG acquired the hospital from another mission group that left the area. The facility is quite nice and continues to be improved to offer a more complete range of medical services. It is the only medical facility in the area |

Pre-inspection run-up this morning.
MAG president, Sean Donnelly, came to Rus Rus also to help with the plane's inspection. Sean flew first thing this morning to record how the plane performed and warm up the engine for the compression check and oil change. Along with Westley, Sean and I completed the engine inspection and routine servicing today. Tomorrow we'll go to church and then begin on the airframe inspection Monday. |
