Abstract
A temporary shelter for an aircraft maintenance worker includes a base pad having a central opening for surrounding and exposing a repair site on an aircraft. A frame anchored within pockets on the base pad supports a canopy to create a protective enclosure for the worker. A junction box securable to the pad includes a plurality of electrical receptacles and quick-connect, compressed-air fittings on an upper surface for powering various work tools. When the pad is anchored to the aircraft with a pair of retaining straps, the erected canopy provides a temporary shelter that protects a worker from sunlight and inclement weather while providing convenient, uninhibited access to a maintenance site.
