Proper Installation Is Key
To Proper Performance
Of Avionics Equipment
The performance of any avionics equipment can be no better than the quality of its installation.
Kings Avionics maintains a highly qualified installation department on the flightline at Salt Lake City International Airport. The hangar area occupies 6700 square feet, with a large bi-fold door, capable of housing most large aircraft.
All tools for avionics installation are at the flightline location, including equipment for metal fabrication and wiring identification, and all necessary parts to complete any type of avionics installation.
Our installation department is capable of installing all types of autopilot, multi-function displays, radar, flight director, TCAS, TAWS and special mission systems as well as normal GPS, nav/com and general navigation systems. And because we realize your aircraft is a vital business tool, we perform quality installations in an efficient and timely manner.
Most of our installations are accomplished on heavy single engine to medium jet aircraft.
Jim Goodrich, whose title is Installation Supervisor/Inspector is in charge of our Installation Department. He has an FAA A&P rating and is an FAA licensed Repairman with 11 years experience in avionics, 10 of them with Kings. |

11 of our 13 technicians are installation qualified. The average experience level of all Kings technicians is 21 years.
At Kings Avionics, installation of any equipment starts with an analysis of the condition of presently installed avionics and the panel layout to properly integrate new equipment with older installed equipment. Wiring prints are then completed and approved by our Quality Assurance Department. FAA paperwork, including DER approvals, FAA Form 337 and flight manual supplements are then completed and presented to the FAA for field approval. Our FAA coordinator maintains constant communication with the FAA during the approval period. Throughout the installation constant inspections, under the direction of our QA Department, are being completed and documented to assure quality of the completed product. Our inspection system follows Part 121 procedures requiring an inspection during each phase of a repair or installation to be accomplished by a second person.
The final phase is a thorough ground testing, and flight testing if needed, to assure that products perform to manufacturer specifications.
