About Us
Trusted in Avionics Since 1969
We are a certified maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) facility for most avionics manufacturers, including Collins, Garmin, Aspen Avionics, Mid-Continent Instruments, and Genesys Aerosystems.
We are known for our commitment to obsolescence and the regulatory solutions we have contributed by utilizing Butler National’s 50 years of experience in designing, integrating, and testing novel aircraft modifications to acquire Supplemental Type Certificates. We receive requests for STC approvals from end-users and OEMs and always have unique interests in solving aircraft avionics opportunities. We can develop and implement new STC-approved solutions based on customer requests.
