Ask About Turnaround

Fixed-wing rewires

Complete & Partial Rewires

Aging wiring shows up as “gremlins”: intermittent faults, unreliable avionics and repeat snags. We perform complete and partial rewires on fixed-wing aircraft, replacing aging wiring, connectors and circuit protection, and remediating corrosion and damage.

Benefits of a rewire

Improved system reliability

Enhanced safety

Reduced maintenance downtime

Better avionics performance

Increased aircraft value

Compliance with current standards

As part of a rewire or retrofit, our “weight loss” program identifies obsolete equipment and unnecessary wiring that can come out, where legally and technically appropriate.
