FAQ'S
Look through a few questions we get commonly asked...
Is Aviation X a repair station?
Aviation X has officially submitted its application to become an FAA Approved Repair Station, and the FAA has accepted the application for review and processing.
We are currently working closely with our DER throughout the approval process to ensure our facility, procedures, and documentation meet all required standards and regulations.
Can Aviation X refurbish 9G and 16G compliant seats?
Yes. Aviation X can build and refurbish seating solutions designed to meet both 9G and 16G FAA requirements depending on your aircraft and operational needs.
We work closely with engineers and DERs to help ensure proper documentation, testing, and compliance requirements are met for applicable projects, including Part 135 operations when required. Please contact our team to discuss your specific aircraft, seating configuration, and certification needs.
Does Aviation X handle FAA documentation and certification requirements?
Yes. Aviation X works closely with our DER, IA, and A&P technicians to help ensure all work is completed in accordance with applicable FAA regulations and requirements.
We can install approved STC components and assist with applicable FAA Form 337 documentation when required for your project.
Aviation X uses FAA approved materials on all interior projects.
At the time of pickup, clients are provided with all applicable documentation for completed work, including material burn certifications, FAA 8130-3 forms when applicable, and logbook entries.
Does Aviation X offer avionics services?
We do not offer avionics services in-house. However, we work closely with a trusted avionics shop located on the field and can help coordinate avionics-related upgrades such as USB/USB-C ports, lighting upgrades, and other custom additions during your interior project.
Does Aviation X offer exterior paint services?
We do not currently offer exterior paint services. However, if you would like assistance designing an exterior paint scheme that complements your new interior, our design team would be happy to help guide you.
How long will my project take?
Each project is assigned an estimated timeline based on the aircraft type and scope of work. A projected timeline is included with your quote for all base package items.
Please note that additional custom upgrades, third-party services, or unforeseen repairs may extend the timeline by 1–2+ weeks depending on the complexity of the project. Any scheduling updates will always be communicated throughout the process.
What services are offered outside of the base package?
Some of the most common upgrades and add-ons outside of our base package include:
-

-
Refurbished Yokes
-
Refurbished Glareshield

And much more
If you have a custom idea in mind, feel free to ask we’ll do our best to create a solution within the FAA regulation that is tailored to your aircraft.
Should I get paint and avionics done before I get my interior done?
Yes, we strongly recommend completing any avionics upgrades or exterior paint work before beginning your interior refurbishment. This helps prevent overspray, unnecessary wear, or disassembly of newly completed interior components later on.
What materials are going to be used for my new interior?
Our base packages typically include:
-
FAA approved 100% Italian leather for seats and sidewalls
-
FAA approved premium ultra leather for headliners and window panels
-
FAA approved wool carpet flooring
Certain plastic components may also be refinished or painted depending on their condition and placement within the aircraft.
All materials, colors, stitching, and design selections are finalized during your one-on-one design consultation with our team.
All Burn Certification is provided with log book entry at the time of pick up.
What if my aircraft has broken panels/plastics?
Minor cracks and imperfections in plastics or panels can often be repaired and refinished. However, if major damage is present, replacement panels or plastics may need to be purchased at the owner’s expense. If replacement parts are unavailable, our team will discuss alternative repair or customization options with you.
