Built for airplanes that need to fly on schedule.

Who we are

Ramp Works MX is a Dobbs Flight Service company—a mobile aviation maintenance business built around one idea: we come to you, on your ramp. Across Central Florida, we bring the work to your hangar, tiedown, or flight-school line so maintenance starts where the airplane already is.

What we do — AOG

When the airplane is down, every hour counts. Our AOG response gets a mechanic to the aircraft fast, finds what is grounding it, and works the path back to airworthy. Between those calls, we specialize in 50-hour and 100-hour inspections for Cessna and Piper products—the scheduled work that keeps downtime from becoming the norm—so you spend less time waiting and more time flying.

Ramp Works MX Unique Advantage

Maintenance without a system

Most shops run on a mechanic's memory and have no system in place. Items get missed, troubleshooting turns into guesswork because shops don't work off of proven techniques like task cards, fault isolation manuals, and troubleshooting flow charts. So we made our own system.

Clear estimates, not open bills

When a shop bills by the hour, more work means more money for the shop. You get a clear estimate first, and nothing starts until you approve it. Because the work is systemized, that approved scope gets finished faster—without the open-ended bill run.

Safety first.

We prioritize safe operations above all, but we understand there's a difference between safety and minor items that have no effect on operations. Every time we work on your plane, you will always have critical safety items checked off and airworthiness directives. After that, we keep a running list and notify the owner of things that are okay to defer to the next maintenance cycle. We want to put safety first and your pocketbook.

Maintenance at a professional standard

We're committed to bringing general aviation maintenance up to the professional standard of Part 121 and Part 135 operations. Because of that commitment, the work gets done right the first time—and you get documentation that proves it.

How we think about the work

Airlines and charter operators keep airplanes reliable and safe with discipline and process. Every job we do follows standardized steps, relies on the manufacturer's own manuals and service bulletins, and ends with documented work you can hand to the next person who opens the logbook.

Why Dobbs Flight Service built this

Dobbs Flight Service has seen flight-school maintenance from the inside: aging airplanes, heavy use, and the real cost of an airplane sitting on the ground. Ramp Works MX makes what we learned available to Central Florida owners and flight schools.
