Mission Statement: To provide the Aviation community access to quality avionics sales, service, and support at the best value possible.
Business Philosophy: Ellison Avionics Services, LLC will provide our customers with an affordable option to have their existing avionics repaired instead of the current trend of being told they will have to upgrade to a new system since “nobody fixes these old radios anymore!”
EAS will focus mainly on general aviation aircraft. Based on the 2011 FAA General Aviation (GA) Activity Survey, there are over 224,000 GA aircraft in the United States (over 155,000 of them being single or twin piston aircraft).
The focus of our business provides us with a competitive edge in the following areas:
1. Focus on General Aviation: With over 224,000 General Aviation aircraft in the United States and over 155,000 in our specific target market, focusing on General Aviation presents a large market.
2. Focus on Component Level Repairs: With most avionics facilities focusing on new system installations and fewer and fewer repair facilities possessing the technical skills needed to repair avionics units, the market is right for a facility whose main focus is avionics repair. Ellison Avionics
Services intends to help meet this need.
3. Terra/Trimble Support: Having assumed the support for the legacy Terra/Trimble product line as of July 2014, Ellison Avionics Services (EAS) will help insure that all customers who own and operate those products will have a place they can rely on to provide the support and service they need.
4. Capitalizing on Existing Experience: Troy Ellison has been performing these types of repairs since 1986.
