Our squawk promise
An annual is an inspection. Repairs are separate, and they're your call.
When we find something, you get a phone call, photos and a price. We only proceed with what you approve, so the invoice matches what you agreed to.

How long does an annual take?
Most straightforward annuals on a single-engine piston airplane take a few business days once the aircraft is in the hangar. Parts availability for squawks is the biggest variable, and we'll tell you up front if something is on backorder.
Do you give a quote before starting?
Yes. You get a quote for the inspection itself before drop-off, and every repair we find gets a separate call, photos and price before we do it.
Can I help with my own annual?
Often, yes. Owner-assisted annuals are a great way to learn your airplane. Ask when you book and we'll talk through what makes sense.
What happens if my airplane doesn't pass?
We give you a signed list of discrepancies. You can authorize us to fix them, or take the airplane elsewhere for repair. It's your choice, and we'll explain your options.
