hen Kelly Van Haitsma, president, and
Stewart (Stoo) Dimon, sales manager, started
TexasGYRO in 2002, they came out of the
gate like so many other AEA-member shops.
" We started as a Class III instrument shop specializing in
troubleshooting and repairing weather radar systems, and that
was our primary focus for several successful years, " Dimon
said. " We built quite a good reputation with operators all over
the Dallas-Fort Worth area and beyond. "
" Stoo and I wanted to grow into more of the flight line
side of the business; troubleshooting, repairing and installing
a broad range of avionics, " Van Haitsma added. " That was a
good move. As our business evolved into panel modernization
projects, our on-aircraft work quickly eclipsed our shop work
and about six years ago became our primary focus.
" Today, TexasGYRO has grown to two locations active on
our certificate: one at Spinks Airport and the other at Meacham
International Airport. We've also introduced on-site inspection
and maintenance services for owners and corporate flight
departments based in the Fort Worth area. "
In many ways, during the 20 years since the company's
inception, TexasGYRO has followed the same road map that so
many thriving avionics shops have used. Start with one area of
expertise and then add other services as customers need them
- page one of business 101.
Along the way, the company has also taken one significant
and beneficial detour: it built a strong relationship with a wellknown
and highly respected Dallas-Fort Worth-based aircraft
broker, Tim Pollard, owner of Pollard Aircraft.

The Pollard Platinum partnership
" Tim and I had worked together before I came to
TexasGYRO, " Dimon said. " We had done a number of small
jobs and were increasing our levels of repair and maintenance
services to Pollard Aircraft when we moved to Meacham Field
in 2010.
" Things just clicked. Both of our companies started to grow
at that time, and we transitioned from providing just avionics
repair and maintenance services into doing more sophisticated
updates to his lower-time aircraft acquisitions. We started
installing the most up-to-date avionics into these premium
aircraft - mostly King Air 90s, B200s, and Citations. "
As Pollard explained, there were a number of these relatively
Tim Pollard of Pollard Aircraft is often seen on " Selling Jets " via the 24/7
lifestyle and entertainment cable TV Channel, A Wealth of Entertainment.
HOW TO
INCREASE
YOUR AIRCRAFT BROKER-REFERRAL BUSINESS
By partnering with established aircraft broker Tim Pollard, TexasGYRO not only established a new and profitable branch for its avionics business,
but it has also parlayed those relationships into greatly increasing its ongoing installation, troubleshooting and repair segments.
