Aircraft Maintenance

Johnston Aviation specializes in the repair and maintenance of all light single / twin aircraft and rotorcraft. Our experienced maintenance staff brings with it 100+ years of experience along with factory training. We try to work within your time schedule and every effort is made to stick to that schedule.

Our fully qualified A&P maintenance staff has received specialty factory training for Bell and Schweizer rotorcraft.

Our first step in performing any work is a sit down with you and find out exactly what it is you want done, and then give you a quote on what the expense will be. We make every effort to be up front with what your costs will be. Of course, sometimes a problem comes up that was not planned on, and that deviation from the original plan will be discussed with you before any of that work is done. Communication with the customer is very important to us.

At Johnston Aviation, we maintain complete maintenance facilities at our Lorain County facility.


Some of the maintenance services that Johnston Aviation is equipped to provide include:
Engine Repairs Tire and Wheel Servicing Aircraft Structure Heater Decay Test Propellers Aircraft Weighing Annual Inspections Major & Minor Repairs & Alterations Pre-Purchase Inspections	Airworthiness Directive Research Oil & Filter Changes Maintenance Consulting Instrument Replacements Aircraft Cleaning Landing Gear Aviation Oxygen Services 100 Hour Inspections Aircraft Weighing

If you are interested in having your aircraft inspected for an annual or 100 hour, Johnston Aviation flat rates all inspections. In addition to the flat rate fee for your aircraft, costs not included would be for parts, repairs, and extensive AD research.

Included with the flat rate fees are the following:
1 hour of AD research Spark plug cleaning & testing Pre and post run-up for systems check Spark plug wire check Compression check Service of battery Oil & filter change ** ELT inspection and testing	Air & hydraulic filter change Lubrication of pulleys, hinges & bell cranks Pitot-Static system filter change Lubrication of grease fittings Magneto timing check Landing gear retraction test Removal & installation of inspection panels and interior necessary for the inspection
And most importantly -- Inspection of the aircraft in accordance with the manufacturers’ checklist or AC 43.13 appendix D requirements

**LABOR ONLY

We believe that we give the most complete inspection in the area with at least 2 sets of eyes looking over every aircraft.

If you might be interested in having us do some work for you, it would be great if we could give you a quote.
