Precision Support Services has joined the SmartSky dealer network as a sales and installation partner. Precision is an Oregon-based aviation company offering full MRO services; it has already completed an installation of SmartSky LITE on a Pilatus PC-12. SmartSky is a provider of inflight air-to-ground (ATG) connectivity for business aviation.
“Precision’s partnership with SmartSky is important because it adds capabilities to a proven inflight connectivity product already making waves in the marketplace,” said Grayson Barrows, general manager, repair station at Precision. “We chose to partner with SmartSky because they are delivering an unequalled connection for every seat in the aircraft with bandwidth to spare. It’s particularly exciting to be able to offer streaming-level performance for light jets and turboprops like the PC-12. Plus, their ability to offer equally high-performance moving data to and from the aircraft makes new inflight capabilities possible to meet our customers’ mission requirements.”
Located in McMinnville, Oregon, Precision supports both fixed-wing and rotor-wing services, including full maintenance and avionics as an FAA Part 145 repair station. Precision specialises in Beech, Cessna, Mooney, Pilatus and Piper aircraft, along with Airbus, Bell and Guimbal helicopters.
“Precision’s aircraft maintenance expertise strengthens SmartSky’s presence in the region,” said Aria Bahawdory, director of MRO account management for SmartSky. “Precision has done an outstanding job with the PC-12 installation and their extensive experience with Cessna and Pilatus makes them a desirable MRO partner for SmartSky and aircraft operators.”
SmartSky continues to expand its diverse roster of certified airframes, with STCs covering more than 6,000 in-service aircraft and in-progress projects for nearly 10,000 additional tails.
