South Mountain Aviation, an aircraft maintenance and avionics company, has received an FAA Part 145 certification which grants the company official authorization to operate as an approved Repair Station. The new certification’s application process took several months to complete, and according to the FAA, South Mountain Aviation is certified to perform highly regulated maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services on aircraft and components, and officially return them to service with airworthiness approvals.
Greg Travis, manager of the Baltimore Flight Standards District Office (FSDO) spoke at the presentation, and commended South Mountain Aviation for its diligence during more than 18-months of work towards achieving the certificate’s standards.
The young company has established a niche in servicing and maintaining a variety of small jets across the Mid-Atlantic. In two-and-a-half years since the company’s founding, South Mountain Aviation’s ownership and staff are pleased to be awarded an FAA Part 145 Certification.
South Mountain Aviation is a provider of small-jet maintenance, known for delivering safe, effective repair solutions.
Jet maintenance and repairs are not widely offered in the Mid-Atlantic, causing corporate flight departments and small jet owners to travel farther and pay a higher cost for run-of-the-mill service. South Mountain Aviation’s unique specialty in light and very light jets allows it to fulfill the need for small jet maintenance with timely service across Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, and throughout the region.
South Mountain Aviation has built a loyal customer base, with several regional and national industry giants seeking repeat service. The company’s positive reputation can largely be attributed to exemplary personal service and flexibility. It has increased its staff from 2 to 6 members and plans to double by the end of 2027, opening more opportunities to expand services and maintain its standard of quality and timeliness. The entire staff has significant industry experience and expertise from on-the-job and factory training from Textron Aviation, Williams International and Cirrus Aircraft, among others.
South Mountain Aviation’s new FAA authorization as a Part 145 Certified Repair Station, also permits the company to offer avionics offerings. The company’s services also include the following, for Gulfstreams, Globals, Hawkers and Citation Jets.
