商用航空セクターは、景気後退と縮小の時期に加えて成長の時期がある循環産業としてよく知られています。 特に、COVIDのパンデミック時など、乗客の需要が少ない時期には、航空機の再導入が必要な十分な乗客の需要があると航空会社が判断するまで、航空機を保管することがよくあります。
南カリフォルニアのサンバーナーディーノの北50マイルには、商用便のない比較的未知の空港があります。 ただし、飛行場に到着すると、世界中からさまざまな種類の航空機や航空会社が多数見つかります。
ComAv Technical Servicesは、世界最大の航空機整備、修理、運用（MRO）企業の500つであるこの空港を拠点としています。 商用航空サービスプロバイダーは、少なくともXNUMX機の総保管容量を持っています。

<h3>A preservative location</h3>
<p>Southern California Logistics Airport, or SCLA, also commonly known by its IATA airport code, VCV, is often referred to by many as an aircraft graveyard or boneyard, however, the reality is that the airport is an open storage facility for aircraft with a variety of repair and maintenance-specific facilities from cabin refitting to a painting bay. While there is a small section of the airfield dedicated to the aircraft scrapping process, 80% of all aircraft that arrive, eventually leave for either the same or a new operator.</p>
<p>Originally a United States Air Force flight training base from 1941, the airfield was converted for civilian use following the closure of George Air Force Base (GFAB) in 1992. ComAv Technical Services has been based at Southern California Logistics Airport (VCV) for nearly 23 years and its 240-acre desert-like environment makes it an ideal location for aircraft preservation.</p>
<p>ComAv currently employs around 250 people, however during the COVID-19 pandemic, the company has taken on over 50 new employees in order the manage and maintain the 400 or so aircraft at its facility. To promote flexibility and a stronger workforce, if any employees are contacted by their old employers to return to their jobs, they are encouraged to do so.</p>

<h3>Storing an aircraft</h3>
<p>In order to preserve an asset like a commercial aircraft, it must undergo a series of regular maintenance tests and checks, which can include systems such as the aircraft’s avionics, hydraulics, electronics etc.</p>
<p>If an aircraft is being stored for several months which is usually the case at Victorville Airport, ComAv will put the aircraft into what can only be described as an “aircraft coma,” which usually involves draining all the aircraft’s fluids, sealing the doors and covering the engines.</p>
<p>In addition to covering the engines, the aircraft wheels among other parts are tarped in mylar, a polyester film known for its extreme tensile strength and stability, which helps protect the aircraft against sunlight, moisture and insects. The material also creates a good oxygen barrier protecting the aircraft’s tires from corrosion or dust.</p>

新品および中古
ビクタービルのComAvテクニカルサービス施設に駐車されているのは、使用済みの古い航空機だけではないことを強調することも重要です。 実際、それぞれの航空会社への配達を待っているボーイング737 MAX、777、787など、多くの新しい航空機も一時保管場所に置かれています。

<h3>‘Aviation Pathway’ Programs</h3>
<p>ComAv has partnered up with local high schools and colleges to offer students the wonderful opportunity to obtain some hands-on experience in the field and to provide these students with a taste of the aviation industry. As aviation alumni from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and a member of Women In Aviation International, Lisa Christine added that it has been a campaign of her’s to establish a program that would create opportunity and exposure to a career in the aviation industry.</p>
