The Aircell equipment arrives today to upgrade our customer’s Lear 60. We’ll be removing an older Thrane and Thrane system for this upgrade. The Aircell system will be a huge upgrade for our customer in both service and product. We should have it wrapped up in a week to 10 days.
If you are looking for an Aircell upgrade, please call Randy in our sales department at 614-237-4271 (or 1-866-AVIONICS) ext. 105.
More Lear 35A work to do! On this aircraft we’re installing a Honeywell / Bendix King KHF-950 high frequency system. These systems are still the go-to even over a new KHF-1050 system. Hard to argue with the quality and solid performance these systems still have to offer. We are also installing dual Garmin GPS-400W units. Should be a great upgrade and a slam dunk install.

One of our very good air ambulance clients needed a last minute Sky Connect upgrade on one of their Eurocopter BK-117′s a couple weeks ago. We were able to get them taken care of , on short notice, sending one of our road crews out for 10 days to perform the upgrade during scheduled maintenance. We’ve successfully completed multiple Sky Connect upgrades for them now, both here in Ohio and on the road. We’d like to thank them for their continued patronage.
Our capabilities remain unsurpassed when it comes to responsiveness and the ability to complete work under even the most extreme conditions. Our customers keep coming back because they know we’ll always put them first.

Our mission is complete on the Universal Avionics UNS-1LW and WSI/Avidyne datalink weather upgrade in the Citation Jet 525. The upgrade went really well and the flight deck looks really good.
