Today AIRplus offers a full range of services—maintenance, inspections, sheet metal and structural repair, major and minor mechanical modifications, avionics upgrades, interior refurbishment, dynamic propeller balancing, and parts distribution for Twin Commanders. AIRplus also is a Honeywell-authorized service center.

Recent Commander projects have included Garmin G600 and GTN750/650 installations, an SB 214 spar replacement, rebuilding two vertical stabilizers, and with the help of National Flight technicians who flew to Germany to assist, a slipper tank installation.

AIRplus regularly services Twin Commanders based in Germany, Belgium, and the United Kingdom that operate their aircraft on aerial survey missions—two are equipped with camera ports; for executive transportation; and for personal use. Business is steady, reports Maintenance Planner Dennis Boehnke.
