TRINE AEROSPACE AND DEFENSE earned Federal Aviation Administration Part 145 approval as a certi?ed repair station. Based at the Colorado Springs Airport, Trine Aerospace and Defense offers engineering, manufacturing and aircraft modi?cation on general aviation, commercial and special-mission aircraft. It also specializes in avionics and installation repair.

According to the company, the facility provides engineered solutions that add capabilities to aircraft in support of Part 23 and 25 aircraft manufacturers, owner/operators, air carriers and defense contractors that perform special mission aircraft integration and modernization.

In January, the company opened a 30,000-square-foot commercial modi?cation facility at the airport that provides avionics installation and repair. Services include 24-month RVSM/pitot-static system inspections, 24-month IFR transponder certi?cation and VFR transponder inspections. Trine is an authorized dealer for Garmin International, Cobham and Technisonic Communications.

“This certification, combined with our new state-of-the-art facility, allows us to expand our product offering to both our non-government and government customer base, particularly in the form of avionics and electrical systems modi?cation,” said BRITT HAM, president and chief executive officer. “We are able to utilize our own in-house engineers, technicians and FAA-DERs (designated engineering representatives) to design, install and certify a wide variety of aircraft modi?cations.”
