WEBSITE: spectrumairways.com
EMPLOYEES: 45
FACILITIES: Three locations in Ontario
WHAT THEY DO: Kovachik Aircraft
Services provides maintenance,
avionics, structural repairs and
welding for general aviation aircraft.
FOUNDED: 1962 by Victor Kovachik
AEA MEMBER SINCE: 2020
In a Cirrus SR22, Kovachik's technicians installed two Avidyne IFD440 FMS/GPS/nav/comm systems, an Avidyne DFC90 digital
autopilot and an L3 Lynx NGT-9000R remote-mounted transponder.
explained grandson Chris Kovachik, who owns and manages
the maintenance side of the family business. " Now, we also
offer avionics at our Burlington location and welding at all
three. "
Making it work
Chris Kovachik began looking into adding avionics
capabilities during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Given that the maintenance crew already tended to 13
Spectrum Airways aircraft of Cessna 152s and 172s, Piper
Warriors, a Piper Seneca and Cirrus SR20, it made sense
to Kovachik to bring the cockpit instruments and avionics
under the team's purview too.
" COVID shut down some of our operations, but,
luckily, we were considered an essential service and
were able to stay open on the maintenance side, " said
Kovachik, a licensed AME who worked on aircraft under
the guidance of his father and grandfather at one time. " I
always wanted to get into avionics, but we were so busy
with everything else, from the flight school to taking care
of our customers' airplanes.
" With time on my hands, I was able to explore it as
an option. We were paying an outside company to come
in and do the transponder installations and pitot-static
recertifications. The numbers showed that if we brought it
in-house and did it ourselves, our investment would only
take three or four years to pay back. So, I purchased the
equipment and tooling and added an avionics technician. "
