Electrical and Avionics

Our maintenance team includes a fully qualified Aircraft Electrician and an Avionics Engineer. We are a GARMIN dealer and are therefore qualified to complete panel upgrades, including the installation of GARMIN’s new glass cockpits. We are also able to repair and overhaul most aircraft avionics.

Our electrical shop oversees all rewiring and fault finding operations for both rebuilds and for routine maintenance. We have test equipment to carry out overhauls on starters, starter generators, magnetos and alternators as well as repairs and adjustments to air-conditioning systems for all types of aircraft.

Spares

With approximately US$ 1 million worth of spares in stock, our spares supply department is at the heart of our maintenance business. All parts and spares are sourced internationally from manufacturers or reputable suppliers for all types of aircraft and kept readily available for use in the airline, air charter and airfreight industries. Our store warehouses are conveniently located at both the Maun and Gaborone Airports and are strictly managed in accordance with the Civil Aviation Authority’s manual of procedures.
