KOVACHIK AIRCRAFT SERVICES
Continued from page 27
explained. " With the aerospace endorsement, they can
weld aircraft fuel tanks, airframes, engine mounts, exhaust
systems and other items. They're fantastic. "
After a year, Kovachik Aircraft Services branched
out from its flight training aircraft to helping operators
with their transponder installations and pitot-static
recertifications. As demand rose, the company extended its
services again, becoming a certified installer and distributer
for Aspen Avionics, Avidyne, Electronic International,
PS Engineering, Trig Avionics, and Dynon.
" Customers quickly began asking about other avionics
services and system installations like, 'Can you install an
Avidyne IFD440 for me?' So, I purchased the proper
nav/comm and ELT recertification equipment and Panel
Pro design software and away we went, " Kovachik said.
" Ever since, we've consistently had an avionics project in
the shop. "
Seeing a big need in the market and having talented
welders on staff, Kovachik also recently added certified
welding to the service center's capabilities.
" We have in-house technicians who are exceptional
welders, so we had them get D17.1-certified, " he
Preserving a family's legacy
The biggest challenge the business faces today is the
Canadian dollar to U.S. dollar exchange rate. There's not
much anyone can do about it, but it hurts, according to
Kovachik.
" We buy everything in U.S. dollars, so a $14,000
Avidyne IFD440 is $18,000 Canadian, which kills us, "
he said. " For a while, we had a lot of problems getting
supplies, but that's starting to turn around. Avidyne has
been amazing with delivery. "
Kovachik spent much of his youth at the Burlington
Airport, cutting grass, clearing trees, and pumping avgas.
Now, through good times and bad, he spends his days
guiding the business his grandfather started to ensure it
will last another 60 years.
" My family has been in aviation a long time, " Kovachik
said. " I enjoy the business side of it. I love networking,
making deals and keeping customers happy. " q
