Both Gallagher and Lee said that if the shop you've
mean you automatically choose the cheapest shop in town.
When it comes to anything aviation, cheap and quality are
rarely found in the same solution.
" It's definitely not the cheapest shop you'll find, " stated
Chuck Gallagher, president of Cincinnati Avionics. " Ask
around to see who others at your airport have used.
Who would they recommend - and more importantly, not
recommend? What is the shop's history with aircraft like
yours? Do they have the staff to do the job on time? Will
they provide wiring diagrams of the installation? Are they
factory authorized to sell and service the avionics you
want? "
" They should also ask how long you plan to keep the
airplane, " added Mark Lee, chief executive officer of Forge
Flightworks. " What is your typical mission? Do you fly a lot
of IFR or at night? The more we know, the better we are
able to help the owner plan their panel.
" Even if the shop doesn't ask you these questions,
make it a point to tell them everything about you and your
airplane. Which avionics or instruments work and which
have issues - even small ones. Make a detailed list and
selected doesn't give you the attention you require to get
the answers you need, then cut your losses and take your
business elsewhere.
" It's also important to ask for their warranty commitment
in writing, " Gallagher added. " You have to make sure
that what the shop can do with what you are keeping in
your panel will live up to your expectations. You need to
understand and be ok with that upfront. "
It's not set in stone, but an avionics shop will typically
base its warranty on a combination of its experience and
overall commitment to quality.
" There's a lot more to the cost of an upgrade than the
price of the equipment, " explained Geordan Eddy, avionics
manager for Centennial Aircraft Services. " Consider
the quality of the installation itself. If it's not the highest
quality, then you'll spend a lot more time in the shop postinstallation
for troubleshooting and repairs.
" That additional downtime will add a lot to the project's
final cost. On top of that, it'll really take all the fun out of
