Services include avionics fault isolation, pitot-static and transponder certifications (91.411, 91.413), ADS-B install and verification, and annual avionics functional checks. This is a labor-based service revenue stream with per-incident or per-project billing.

Send-in service for individual owners and partner shops, with written findings and itemized estimates provided before work. Revenue generated per component repaired or calibrated.
3. Autopilot, radio, and instrument installation/repair: Installation and repair of autopilots, comm/nav radios, WAAS GPS retrofits, and primary instrument replacements. Includes STC research and approval guidance. Revenue from installation labor, parts, and certification work.
4. Aircraft panel design and fabrication: Custom panel design and fabrication for full retrofits and partial upgrades. Includes CAD work, layout, harness integration, and installation. Revenue from design and fabrication services plus parts.
5. Non-Federal ATC tower install and maintenance: One of few facilities in the country authorized to install, certify, and maintain non-Federal ATC towers. Services include initial tower install, recurrent maintenance, calibration, and inspection support. Specialized niche revenue stream.
