Piston, turboprop and turbine. Three Florida hangars and a mobile van that meets you on the ramp. The same hands that signed your last annual will sign the next one.
Why people leave us their airplanes
You can pull our FAA license, find our shop on Robinson's site, and read the Google reviews yourself. Three tabs, a minute apiece. After that, send us your airplane.
We're on Robinson's site as an authorized R44 shop. Open robinsonheli.com and look us up. Scheduled inspections, overhauls, OEM parts, the way Robinson wrote it.
Airframe & Powerplant certification with Inspection Authorization. The name on your annual is the name above the hangar door.
Five years on the ramp. Every Google review we've earned is five stars. Pull up our Google Business Profile and scroll the whole thing.
Inspections, alterations, and repairs done under Part 43. Logbook entries written so you can still read them in three years.
Family-owned. Military-member household. The Awads are at the shop most days, not in an office somewhere. We also handle work that needs to stay quiet: aerial cinema crews, federal contract operators, and discreet owners who value confidentiality.
Savvy Aviation has us on their approved-vendor list. If you're a Savvy member, ask them to route work to us.

Engines we work on
Most of our work is piston, Lycoming and Continental flat-fours and sixes. We see turboprops in the shop too and we know our scope. Anything outside it, we tell you up front and point you to the shop that handles it.
Horizontally opposed, air-cooled, direct drive. The workhorse of single-engine GA.
Gas turbine driving a reduction gearbox to a propeller. We see these in the shop. We do not pretend they are our specialty.
Pure jet and turbofan. Not our specialty and we won't pretend otherwise. We can point you to a shop that handles it.
NOTE Engine work is signed off by an FAA A&P with Inspection Authorization. If something's outside our scope, we'll tell you before the cowl ever comes off.

Who signs the logbook
Elena Awad started Alpha Company in 2021 and still owns it. It's a family business with a military-member household behind it. The Awads run the three hangars themselves, with their family name above every door.
