Of Debonair Beech 35-C33s and Piping-Hot Pipers

Serving the United States, Canada, and Mexico for nearly thirty-years, San Antonio-based Avionics Services International (ASI), by way of experience and expertise, helps its customers achieve optimum technology integration for their respective aircraft and missions.

The company distinguishes itself by flying to its customers to install, repair, and test avionics, and works resolutely to improve its product selection, service quality, certifications, and know-how for purpose of better serving its many and diverse customers.

On 22 December 2022, ASI announced the completion of instrument panel upgrades on a Beech Debonair and a Piper Malibu Meridian. The updated panels are intended to better optimize subject aircrafts’ capabilities, reduce pilot workload, and minimize maintenance costs.

Specifically, a Beech 35-C33 Debonair belonging to an ASI customer was retrofitted with dual Garmin G3X Touch Certified Displays, including 4-Cylinder EIS; a GFC500 Autopilot; GTN 750Xi GPS/NAV/COMM/MFD; GNX 375 Navigator with ADS-B; and a G5 Attitude Indicator.

ASI also upgraded a customer’s turbine Piper PA46-500TP Malibu Meridian to feature a quad-display G700 TXi Flight Deck complemented by a GI 275 MFD.

ASI tech Ryan Busby remarked: “One of the top reasons for a flight deck upgrade is weight savings. We are able to remove outdated instruments and install solid state digital systems. These also offer better reliability. Pilots and owners see an increase in operational efficiencies.”

Established in 1988 by Ronny Salamon, a forty-plus-year aviation industry veteran, ASI is an FAA Certified Repair Station (no. S78R151N) Part 145 approved for airframe, instrument, and radio.

Highly-experienced with aircraft ranging from light piston-singles to business jets, Salamon and his team operate San Antonio’s only one-stop avionics shop capable of performing equipment installation, repair, replacement, and diagnostics. ASI works capably and cordially with Maintenance Repair and Overhaul facilities (MROs), fleet operators, and individual aircraft owners.
