Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Check out manufacturers of aircraft test equipment

Visit an online manufacturer to review products to meet the aviation testing needs of your business. The manufacturers provide specifications for testing stands, actuators, fuel valves or pumps, air cycle machines and more.

I recommend: Bauer designs and manufacturers a variety of aircraft testing components to meet the aircraft maintenance needs of your business. You will need to provide contact information to get full product details. If you cannot find what you need at Dayton T. Brown, the company can tailor a test system for your test stand needs. Avtron also manufactures and distributes test equipment for companies from commercial airlines to third-party repair shops.

Check out supplies offered by an aircraft test equipment distributor

Visit an aircraft test equipment distributor to compare the products available from various manufacturers.

I recommend: Aero Express offers avionics test equipment from several manufacturers for sale or lease. They even offer a product list that will help you set up a basic avionics shop. Make some extra money for your business by selling or providing information that leads to the acquisition of used or excess inventories of aviation testing equipment by this distributor. You can also choose from meters, analyzers, test probes and more at Dallas Avionics.

Buy used aircraft test equipment to help your bottom line

If you need to save money or cut delivery time on a much needed piece of aircraft engine test equipment, consider buying used or refurbished equipment. Be careful to understand what you are buying, and be sure to research your aircraft test equipment supplier before you make a purchase.

I recommend: Providers of used or refurbished avionics test equipment include Brandywine Flight Systems, Avionics Plus and Edmo Distributors.

Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide

• •  Be aware of what you are purchasing when buying used avionics test equipment. Used equipment has not necessarily been checked for problems while refurbished items should have been given an overhaul so that they are as close to new as possible when you buy them.
