Frequently Asked Questions

While we specialize in experimental aircraft, we can work on certified aircraft alongside the owner's A&P/IA. 

We have hands-on experience with the following airframes: RV-4, -6, -8, -10, -12, -14, L-39 Albatros, TT-1 Super Pinto, Badlands Traveler, All CubCrafters products, SNS-7, CH750, PA-32R, C172RG, C182, and many more. We also specialize in electrical system design, install, and integration in the Badlands Traveler, as well as other light GA experimental aircraft.

We specialize in G3X and AXIS systems. Both the G3X and AXIS are not just displays, but systems. They both include an onboard VFR GPS, optional ADAHRS for PFD use, and integration for EIS, remote LRUs, as well as IFR navigators. The largest benefit to AXIS is that there are options that include an integrated IFR GPS navigator, and even integrated NAV radios which is especially nice if your panel is limited on real estate for support units. There are a vast number of possible configurations for Garmin systems, so we encourage customers to reach out directly to us so we can discuss your needs and design a quote.

The following is a list of products that Garmin authorizes their dealers to sell "over-the-counter" to A&P/IAs:

GNX 375

GNC 355(A)

GPS 175

GI 275 (Base, EIS)

GSB 15

G5 (AI, HSI, GAD 29, OAT)

Garmin AoA System

GTX 335

GTX 325

GMA 342/5

GTR 205

GNC 215

The current Leading Edge Aero shop rate is $75/hr for experimental aircraft, and $100/hr for certified aircraft. This is because we do not employ A&P mechanics, and the customer is responsible for returning the aircraft to service after work. Depending on the project, this may either be a simple logbook entry, but larger changes may require the aircraft to be sent back into Phase I flight testing. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure airworthiness and FAA compliance according to their individual project.

Absolutely. We have done several installs where we have traveled to the customer and completed an entire install in less than 7 days. Meticulous planning and engineering goes into this. When we are on the road, the customer pays for travel expenses including airfare (if required), lodging, ground transportation, and per diem.
