Brad Corso

Director of Maintenance

Ratings: A&P, IA

Brad was introduced to aviation through a great opportunity to try Aviation Maintenance back in 1987 at Spartan School of Aeronautics, right out of high school, and found the industry to be both challenging and interesting.

For the past 35 years, Brad has been fortunate to work on a varied general aviation and corporate aircraft. He’s very familiar with performing light and heavy maintenance on piston single engine, piston twin engine, turboprop and jet aircraft, including Cessna, Piper Beechcraft, Grumman, American Champion, Pilatus, Beechjet, Dassault Falcon, Hawker, Learjet, and Bombardier. Brad has work as Director of Maintenance at two different FAR Part 145 FBOs, as Chief Inspector for a FAR Part 145 repair station and as a maintenance manager for a corporate customer, as well as working for one of the largest MROs in the USA.

About hobbies, Brad says he golfs occasionally, but is nowhere near ready for the PGA. A lot of his time is filled with the family “Rat Pack” of four rat terriers, three of them rescues, in training, rehabilitating and adapting to everyday life, a challenging and rewarding experience. Brad also likes to have a few home improvement projects to keep busy.
