After every repatriation mission, the Rega ambulance jets return to the hangar at the Rega Center. This allows the jet mechanics to inspect the aircraft on an almost daily basis, ensuring that they are always familiar with their condition. The mechanics are in close contact with the jet pilots, who keep them well informed about any issues. This collaboration enables the mechanics to rectify minor problems or faults immediately, so that the jets remain in top working order for forthcoming missions.
