We maintain a set of Intercomp scales for weight and balance as well as Dynavibe for prop and rotor smoothing. Let us know what your considering and we will let you know if we are able to help!
Pursuit is a Dynon & Insight dealer and we are able to help you design and implement most major avionics upgrades. We install most Garmin, King and other brands as well. We offer some repairs on older King equipment. If you need a unit looked at please let us know and if able we would be happy to diagnose them and see what the issues are! All in all we are familiar with most avionics that are currently produced, Shoot an email to see if we can help you!
We maintain a 3' x 4' CNC machine to ensure that we can assist with almost any project inside the aircraft to include cutting of panels and other items! Typically we will cut the panel and holes out of ABS plastic so that they can then be test fit into the aircraft. Once that is done then the actual aluminum panel is made and crafted. This allows for a full size example to be put in place in the aircraft and tested prior to final cut. All in all unless its extremely complex we should be able to assist with any cutting project you have!
Pursuit Aviation is happy to offer multiple pilot services, from going to look at an aircraft in our Bonanza for a pre-buy to ferrying that aircraft home to you after a successful purchase. Our pilot has over 6500 hours and has the following ratings - Commercial Rotorcraft, Airplane Single and multi-engine with Instrument rating for both. Most familiar with the Robinson R22/R44, Bell 206B, EC130 and Beechcraft Bonanza and Baron aircraft. E-Series bonanza's preferred as that is what our company uses!
Pursuit Aviation keeps a set of Intercomp scales for the purpose of completing weight and balance calculations. We are able to offer this as a stand alone service as well as part of our panel upgrades. Each airplane is re-weighed upon completion.
Prop Balancing and Rotor smoothing for helicopters is it the key to correcting vibration issues early and helping to prolong the service life of components ranging from the exhaust system, engine mounts and the airframe cowling spinner and instruments. Sometimes, what appears to be engine vibration is actually due to an imbalanced propeller. But even if you can’t feel or hear vibration while flying, your aircraft propeller could still be out of balance. Over time, a slight propeller imbalance can lead to vibration problems that gradually grow in magnitude and compromise flight safety.
Are you considering selling your plane? Your aircraft Logbooks are the story and history of your aircraft they constitute half of your planes value in some cases and are the primary source of the data you need for your plane to stay legal and on the up and up! Our service pulls your logbooks in for a thorough review and organization into separate sections with all information tabbed and easy to find. What we do is look at detailed pictures of your plane and then compare to the STC's that are recorded, find missing STC's and 337s as well as get them all organized with proper AD lists showing the most up to date complied with data. Once all of this is done its put into separate binders.
Benefits of this service is that your logbooks are fully in order if you decide to sell the plane the complete history is easy to find and easy to show to potential buyers as well has a huge benefit for you as an owner looking back to find when things were done and how much time has been done the benefits are well worth time and effort.
