My goal was to make sure the airplane was safe and reliable for normal flying and aerobatics. Jake and his mechanic Chirs found several items, including one very serious, that the last two mechanics missed. Jake is very thorough, knowledgeable, and a great communicator. He's also really responsive which is refreshing, Highly recommend.

The new owners are very responsive to customers, and their work is high quality. They have two really expert mechanics and supervise a stable crew. I've been using them since they bought the shop for all the repairs on my Commander. As with most aircraft maintenance businesses, at times they get backed up with many planes to work on, but I appreciate that Eric keeps me informed of the status of the work.

Here's the corrected version of the text:…read more Worst annual experience ever! Abdi broke things--the DG, the hydraulic system, the brakes, etc. In the process of covering up what he had broken, he broke more things and damaged the aircraft even further. The first time he told me the plane was ready, the nose wheel was installed backwards, and the brakes couldn't hold at anything over idle RPM. Who knows what else was wrong. I stopped checking after the brakes. The second time he told me the plane was ready, the magnetos were miss-wired, and the P lead wouldn't kill the engine. He also damaged the hydraulic system and couldn't fix it. After four months and my insistence on bringing another A&P into his shop to inspect it, he finally called LASAR for help.

I'm an instrument-rated pilot and have been flying out of Gnoss field with my dad since I was 12…read moreyears old (1978), when Vindar was still in business. My last flight was in 2003 - when I quit flying to do "other things" (including starting a family). When I decided to start flying again in 2017 I went to Scanlon Aviation "to see what had changed and to learn about Cirrus airplanes..." (I was attracted to the enhanced safety of a whole-plane parachute.) Boy was I in for a re-education! Patrick has been phenomenal! A true professional. And I now call him a friend. So much has changed since 2003, I don't know where to start. I went through Cirrus Transition Training in his SR-20 (N150SA) and gained more confidence and professionalism than I've ever had (and that's saying something since my last airplane was a highly-modified Cessna P210N - not exactly a walk-in-the-park to fly). I recently purchased my own SR-22 (with help from Patrick and team) and couldn't be happier. Flying airplanes safely and professionally requires dedication, training and introspection. It's thrilling, fulfilling and humbling all at the same time. I can think of no better mentor than Patrick and the team at Scanlon Aviation.
