Problem
Aircraft maintenance shops and avionics service providers often face delays and excess inventory when sourcing autopilot installation hardware, obtaining tail‑number specific engineering documentation, and managing work orders across multiple projects.
Solution
Aviation Design and Supply delivers a three‑part offering that eliminates these bottlenecks. Their autopilot hardware install kits are pre‑packaged from approved OEM manuals and feature precision‑fit components, one‑handed operation, adjustable clamp saddles, and integrated cable vices, removing the need for on‑site bench stock. Tail‑number specific engineering documents provide detailed interconnect schematics, configuration data, Form 337 language, and logbook sign‑off verbiage, enabling technicians to plan and execute installations without manual research. The cloud‑based work order management platform (AMI MX) centralizes job tracking, enforces accountability, and supplies performance analytics, allowing shops to run more profitable and transparent operations.
Target Audience
Primary customers are aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) shops, avionics service centers, and operators that perform autopilot retrofits or upgrades worldwide.
