Expanding Services To Be Added Going Forward

Since 2006, when US Aviation opened their service department, they have written up 10,000 work orders covering everything from annual inspections, to repairs for gear up landings and burned out tail lights. They are one of the largest Cessna repair facilities in the south, and have become a factory authorized service center for Mooney, Diamond, Centurion, Lycoming, most major Light Sport Aircraft manufacturers, and are developing relationships with other GA aircraft companies.

New additional special services will be added as a part of the expansion of their composite shop and composite trained technicians. They are known for 1000-hour inspections for Diamond Aircraft partly due to their unique ability to perform bonding checks which require specific equipment otherwise only available at the factory. US Aviation also provides Static Discharge inspections which are critical to composite structure aircraft. Much of the work accomplished requires special tools and advanced training to use and verify the accuracy of the equipment.

“The demands placed on a modern maintenance shop keep expanding,” said Scott Severen, Director of US Aviation Maintenance Development. “We’re fortunate to have the experienced staff, facilities and a management team that allows us to stay out front as a national center in adapting to new technologies, even if their utilization is fairly rare. That’s why we’ve also incorporated specialties like Amsafe, Raisbeck products for King Airs and Learjets, Knots to You and LoPresti mods. We’ve also branched into helicopters to accommodate our new rotorcraft flight training operations.”
