Your Aircraft Maintenance Experts

To ensure a thorough and efficient service, our flat-fee inspection labor includes:

• Comprehensive Inspection: Full labor for the required inspection process.
• Routine Servicing: Oil change, filter replacement, and wheel bearing repack.
• Compliance Review: Comprehensive Airworthiness Directive (A.D.) research.
  • Note: Additional labor may apply if A.D. logs have not been updated within the last 24 months.

Exclusions:

• Consumables & Parts: Oil, filters, O-rings, etc.
• Compliance Labor: Actual labor and parts required to remedy A.D. discrepancies.
• Additional Work: Repairs, unscheduled maintenance, or discretionary services.

To ensure a timely start and protect your property, please adhere to the following:

Aircraft Contents: * Personal Items: Please remove all personal belongings prior to drop-off. We are not responsible for items left in the aircraft.

• Inventory Service: A formal inventory of aircraft contents can be performed upon request for a nominal fee.

Required Documentation:Please provide the following original documents at drop-off to avoid inspection delays:

• Pilot Operating Handbook (POH)
• Airworthiness Certificate & Weight and Balance Data
• Current A.D. Log (updated within 2 years)
• Complete Airframe, Engine, and Propeller Logbooks

Our structured billing process ensures transparency and helps you manage your maintenance budget effectively:

1. Inspection Phase: Upon completion of the inspection, you will receive an invoice for the base labor and consumables (oil, filters). Payment is due upon receipt.
2. Discrepancy Estimate: Within 48–72 hours, you will receive a detailed estimate for all required corrective actions.
3. Parts & Logistics: Once you approve the repairs, a parts invoice is issued and due immediately to facilitate ordering.
4. Final Release: Upon completion of all work, a final invoice for remaining labor and shipping will be issued. All invoices must be settled in full prior to aircraft release.

• Pre-Purchase Inspections: Conducted at 80% of the standard Annual fee. If the aircraft is purchased and the remaining 20% is paid within 5 days, we will convert the service into a full Annual Inspection.
• Phase Inspections: We specialize in Phase Inspection Programs for turbine aircraft like the King Air. We can also draft and secure FAA approval for customized programs.
• Experimental Aircraft: Condition inspections are priced with the expectation that the owner handles opening and closing the aircraft. Our team can perform this for an additional fee.

• Completion: Maintenance is officially complete only when a dated and signed log entry is provided.
• Aircraft Cleaning: We provide a complimentary wipe-down of the cowlings, propeller, and windshield. Full detailing is available as a separate service.
• Post-Invoicing Grace Period: A 3-day grace period is provided after the final invoice is sent. Thereafter, a 5% late fee and a $125/day storage fee will apply.
• Storage Disclaimer: We cannot guarantee indoor hangar storage during the maintenance window; aircraft may be staged outdoors during or after service.

Labor rate Airplane      $ 115.00

Labor rate Helicopter  $ 135.00

Labor rate Avionics      $ 125.00

Labor rate AOG               $ 150.00, 2hr. minimum

This is our standard rate for fixed-wing, reciprocating (piston) engine aircraft. It covers the broad spectrum of general maintenance required to keep an airplane airworthy.

• Scope: Includes 100-hour and annual inspections, structural repairs, engine troubleshooting, and routine servicing like oil changes and brake replacements.
• Why this rate: Fixed-wing piston aircraft are the backbone of general aviation. This competitive rate reflects the standard mechanical skills (A&P) required for traditional airframe and powerplant work.

Maintaining rotorcraft is inherently more complex than fixed-wing aircraft due to the intricate nature of the rotor system and transmission.

• Scope: Focuses on dynamic components such as the main and tail rotor hubs, gearboxes, drive shafts, and complex flight control linkages.
• Why this rate: Helicopter mechanics require specialized training to handle the high-vibration environment and tighter tolerances of rotorcraft. The higher rate accounts for the increased responsibility and technical precision needed to ensure the safety of these "dynamic-heavy" machines.

This rate applies to work involving the "brains" of the aircraft—the electronic and computerized systems used for navigation, communication, and surveillance.

• Scope: Covers the installation, troubleshooting, and repair of radios, GPS units, transponders, ADSB systems, and glass cockpit displays.
• Why this rate: Avionics work is intricate and requires expensive diagnostic equipment (like pitot-static and transponder ramp testers). Technicians must have specialized knowledge of electrical systems and software integration to ensure all flight deck instruments work in harmony.

"AOG" (Aircraft on Ground) is our emergency response rate for unscheduled, time-critical repairs that prevent an aircraft from completing its mission.

• Scope: Used when an aircraft is grounded at an away-base or needs immediate attention to meet a flight schedule. This often involves after-hours work, weekend call-outs, or rapid-response troubleshooting.
• Why this rate & minimum: The premium reflects the "drop everything" priority service. The 2-hour minimum ensures that we can cover the logistical costs of mobilizing technicians and equipment at a moment's notice to get you back in the air.

We do offer a Preferred Customer Program for both fixed and rotor-wing.

• Scope: Your services and repairs mentioned above at a preferred labor rate and a higher priority.
• Commitment: Given the nature of the program, an agreement is to be formalized by the parties. 
• Send us a line with your questions to become one of our exclusive preferred customers.
