Explore the Cutting Edge of Aviation
Mission Requirements
How and where do you like to fly? We realistically examine all the parameters of your desired missions to determine the best aircraft and associated options.
Aircraft Performance
Cross-country or back-country operations? Passenger capacity or maneuverability? The possible configurations of your airplane are numerous and complex. We help you navigate this journey.
Avionics
Technically Advance Airplanes (TAA) have been in the aviation lexicon for several years. With over 40 years of experience in the technology industry and many years of flying, we can recommend the best panel and navigation systems to achieve optimal situational awareness.
Insurance
Mundane and boring, yes. Vital to your success? Also yes. Insurance coverage varies based on your airplane’s specifications and your flying experience. Determining the right coverage and costs is an important decision criteria.
Maintenance & Storage
Knowing that parts are readily available, and that there are mechanics skilled in servicing your aircraft, are paramount to your peace of mind. The cost and availability of adequate hangar storage is also a key factor, as the ongoing costs can eat into your budget in a subtle, ongoing way.
Customization
Making the aircraft feel like it’s truly been built for you is an important part of pride of ownership. We work with you to explore all options for interior and exterior finishes that express your individuality.
