No detail too small

Regardless of the job or aircraft, we give every aircraft the same level of attention to detail and focus on safety and customer satisfaction.

People, Planes & Precision

At Fixed Wing Aviation Maintenance, we believe the key to safe, reliable and fun flying comes down to three things: the people behind the work, the airplanes we serve, and the precision we bring to every detail.

Pictured here is Cole, one of our talented technicians, conducting continuity tests on a Cirrus aircraft. These tests ensure the aircraft’s ground system is properly connected, allowing it to safely and reliably discharge electrical energy. It’s one of those behind-the-scenes steps that may seem small — but it makes a big difference in flight safety.

Whether it’s:

  • People like Cole and all of our team working hard for our customers,
  • Planes like Cirrus, Diamond or other general aviation brands
  • Precision checks like this continuity test,

… every detail matters when it comes to aviation safety.

Precision in the Details: Why Windshield Seal Replacement Matters

What are Cameron (on the left) and Lucas (on the right) so focused on?
They’re removing old, brittle windshield seal from one of our client’s aircraft. This may seem like a small task, but in aviation maintenance, every detail counts—especially when it comes to flight safety and cabin comfort.

Why Windshield Sealing Is Important

Aircraft windshields endure constant vibration, pressure changes, UV exposure, and weather extremes. Over time, sealant can dry out and crack, leading to:

  • Cabin leaks
  • Increased noise and vibration
  • Potential airframe corrosion
  • Compromised visibility and structural integrity

At Fixed Wing Aviation Maintenance, we specialize in high-quality maintenance and repairs for general aviation aircraft—including Cirrus and Diamond models. Our expert techs don’t just fix problems—they prevent them.

Properly sealed windshields help ensure:

✔️ A dry, quiet, and temperature-stable cabin
✔️ Reduced stress on airframe structures
✔️ A more enjoyable flight experience

Quality Maintenance = Safer Flying

We’re committed to delivering expert-level work that keeps you flying with confidence and in safety. Whether you’re due for a routine inspection or need detailed service, give us a call.
