Aircraft Maintenance Technician (A&P)

Winchester, VA (KOKV) | Cirrus Authorized Service Center

As a Cirrus Authorized Service Center, our KOKV maintenance team focuses primarily on general aviation aircraft with reciprocating engines, with a significant emphasis on Cirrus Aircraft maintenance and support.

This role is hands-on and maintenance-driven, ideal for technicians who enjoy general aviation, owner-flown aircraft, and in-depth mechanical troubleshooting rather than heavy turbine or airline-style environments.

• Troubleshoot and diagnose mechanical, electrical, avionics, and aircraft systems discrepancies.
• Remove, install, rig, and operationally check aircraft components and systems as required.
• Accurately complete maintenance documentation, logbook entries, and work orders in compliance with FAA and company standards.
• Work collaboratively with other technicians to ensure safe, efficient, and high-quality maintenance outcomes.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safety-focused work environment.
• Support AOG and priority maintenance needs as required.
• Represent flyADVANCED professionally when interacting with aircraft owners, pilots, and fellow team members.

Compensation & Benefits

• $25.00-$45.00 per hour, based on experience.

• Prior Cirrus Aircraft experience is a plus.
• Inspection Authorization (IA) is a plus.
• Ability to read, interpret, and apply manufacturer maintenance manuals, wiring diagrams, schematics, and technical data.
• Strong troubleshooting skills involving mechanical, electrical, avionics, hydraulic, and aircraft systems.
• Possess a personal set of tools appropriate for general aviation aircraft maintenance.
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.
• Positive, team-oriented attitude with excellent written and verbal communication skills.
