This morning I spoke to Doug Ray from Global Aviation Services in Houston TX. The repair station that 

conducted maintenance on N881A operated by Mach One Air Charters in Chino CA. Mr. Ray stated that he 

remembered that the maintenance request came from the home base in Chino, from the Director of 

Maintenance for Mach One, it did not come from the pilots.
