Guiding The Way When Minutes Count

Penta Aviation's experience and expertise in avionics will maintain the reliability, operational capability and safety of your aircraft. As a factory-authorized service centre for all leading suppliers, we design, install, and maintain their avionics systems. We make it a top priority to keep up on all the latest technologies, which is an important reason why our customers keep coming back to us.

Our Avionics Team is second to none with a proven track record of "firsts" in the industry. Now more than ever before, there are all kinds of reasons to upgrade your avionics. Whether the change is mandated, or because you want to take advantage of new technology that revolutionizes safety and communications, we would be happy to discuss operational capabilities and installations.

We handle each project as a custom project to fit our customers' needs. Our personal commitment is to make every new customer a "return" customer which is why our return customer roster is increasing by leaps and bounds. We take pride in our reputation and believe in giving 110% effort on every job no matter how big or small. When a customer's aircraft rolls onto the ramp, we consider it our own while in our care. When a project deadline is set, we do everything to not only meet it but exceed it by bringing it in under time and on budget. There is nothing more fulfilling to us than seeing a customer take delivery of an aircraft, carry out a test flight, and come back to say "no snags...that's great!"
