Crownair Aviation Consolidates Locations

San Diego, Calif.; May 23, 2011… Crownair Aviation today announced the consolidation of its locations to one base. As Crownair continues to provide turbine and piston maintenance and avionics support, it will center its operations at Montgomery Field Airport (KMYF) in San Diego, CA. This move will result in the closure of its Carlsbad location at the McClellan-Palomar Airport (KCRQ). Through its mobile capabilities, Crownair will continue to service aircraft at McClellan-Palomar Airport, as well as the other surrounding airports.

“As we address the current challenges facing the aviation industry, this move will allow the Crownair team to continue offering competitive service and pricing to our customers,” says Dave Ryan, President of Crownair Aviation. “We will continue to build on our sound business practices and solid foundational principles.”

“Having two facilities to provide these services has been less efficient at our current volumes,” says Ray Richmond, General Manager of Crownair Aviation. “Using our mobile services Crownair has supported customers at airports in the Southern California region. We will be expanding our mobile repair capabilities even further to support this market.”

This realignment of resources will make Crownair Aviation a stronger, more viable organization. As they celebrate their 60th Anniversary Crownair remains optimistic about the future.

Crownair Aviation and Coast Flight Training Join to Enhance the Cirrus Aircraft Experience

Cirrus Aircraft Names Crownair Aviation and Coast Flight Training as Platinum Partner Service and Training Centers

San Diego, Calif.; May 11, 2011. Crownair Aviation and Coast Flight Training and Management Inc. today announced their alliance as Cirrus Platinum Partners for Authorized Service and Training respectively.   The honor of becoming a Cirrus Platinum Partner is reserved for only those members of the Cirrus network who exhibit and consistently maintain the highest quality customer service, training standards and technical skills world-wide.

Both companies are located at Montgomery Field Airport (KMYF) in San Diego, CA and offer Cirrus Aircraft owners and pilots the only complete Cirrus Aircraft Partner Facility on the West Coast.

Crownair Aviation maintains Coast Flight Training’s fleet of Cirrus Aircraft and is open to the public for aircraft service, inspections, maintenance and avionics.  All airframe technicians have completed the Cirrus Initial training program, Specialized Composite Repair Lab in Duluth, CAPS Line Cutter Replacement, and AmSafe seat belt restraint training.  Crownair’s Avionic Technicians attended Garmin 1000 and Cirrus Perspective by Garmin training in Olathe.  Crownair can handle it all, from routine service such as oil changes to major repairs and engine overhauls / exchanges.  Crownair relies on Coast Flight’s expert group of instructor pilots to relocate aircraft when needed for service.

Coast Flight Training and Management Inc. is the finest and best-equipped Cirrus training center in Southern California. It counts on top tier Professional Pilot Instructors and a fleet that is composed of new and modern Cirrus SR20s and SR22s. The Cirrus is the best-selling, single engine piston in the world and features instruments and controls similar to commercial jetliners. The Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS™) provides top of the line, unprecedented safety. Coast uses a Scenario Based Training program (SBT), which enables pilot graduates from the academy to immediately enter the pilot ranks of commercial airlines. SBT is used by the military and airlines, and focuses on providing the student with the critical decision-making skills necessary to exercise the duties and responsibilities of the Pilot In Command. Using modern Cirrus aircraft and implementing SBT has proven to be instrumental in attracting customers and makes Coast Flight Training unique in its complete preparation of students.  In addition, Coast owns and operates brand new full motion RedBird flight simulator set up to train in the Cirrus platform.

“As a part of Crownair’s leadership team and a Coast Flight Training student pilot in the Cirrus SR20, I feel confident in this alliance”, says Debi Carlston, Director of Marketing of Crownair Aviation.  “Every time I fly, I feel secure in knowing that the aircraft are maintained extremely well and my instructors are top notch.”
