What bragg avionics does

Bragg Avionics Inc. is a third-generation, family-owned FAA Part 145 Repair Station (License #UV1R546K) headquartered at Craig Airport (KCRG) in Jacksonville, Florida, providing aircraft avionics inspection, repair, installation, and custom panel fabrication services. The company holds the broadest FAA ratings available at the small-shop level — Class 1, 2, & 3 avionics and instrument ratings plus limited airframe and accessory ratings — enabling it to service everything from experimental and piston aircraft through turboprops, corporate jets, and turbine helicopters, including complex multi-engine platforms with advanced autopilots. Its core service lines are inspections and troubleshooting (VFR, IFR, RVSM, ADS-B Out, transponder, altimeter, pitot static, ELT, battery capacity), avionics repairs across all major platforms, and custom panel design and installation; these are supplemented by AOG emergency response, mobile on-location service in Northeast Florida, pre-buy inspections, battery services, and a concierge offering with loaner equipment and a loaner crew car.

The firm serves a diversified customer mix spanning private aircraft owners and first-time pilots, charter and corporate fleets, law enforcement agencies, air medical operators, special missions aircraft (Part 91/135/121), flight schools, and experimental/home-builders. Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven: customers call or email for estimates and appointments, the website serves as the primary digital hub, and growth is sustained by word-of-mouth, customer testimonials, and 65+ years of operating history under the Bragg family (Dean, Tommy, and now Mike Bragg as President/CEO since 2015). The company maintains an FAA Drug & Alcohol Testing Program and is privately held with no institutional investors, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed M&A activity, positioning it as a stable, regionally anchored aviation services business rather than a venture-stage growth asset.
