used with Nav-Aids adapters for RVSM air data testing on multiple
aircraft from the ramp or cockpit. It replaces the DPS350 and embodies
a full suite of fully automated altimeter and static systems tests and
inspections enabled by pumps, valves, and static/altitude transducers with
a well-proven history of flight line accuracy.
In addition to Tel Instruments and Barfield, Aero Express is an authorized
distributor for many other manufacturers of avionics test equipment and
accessories, according to Schmale.
Without a doubt, she expects the
development of digitally driven test
equipment to expand and mature,
just as it has with the avionics
systems the units test and inspect.
units change how the tests are
performed, the requirements of
testing and inspection remain the
same. Aero Express gives older test units a second life by offering used
equipment that has been tested, calibrated or repaired to NIST standards.
This provides their customers good, less-expensive options to perform
their work and fit their needs. It also maintains a large rental pool to help
their customers when they have a short-term requirement.
" Aero Express usually rents test equipment by the week, to keep shops
running at full speed when they send their test boxes in for calibration, "
Schmale said. " If they want to rent a box not listed on our website, they
should still ask about it. If we have the box in our inventory of used
equipment, if the numbers work out, we'll transfer it to the rental pool after
calibrating it. Every unit in the rental pool is on annual calibration schedule. "
Aero Express at times can also offer a trade-in for the older equipment

when purchasing new equipment, " We consider trade-ins on a case-bycase
basis and discuss options from there, " Schmale said.
The company buys and sells new and used equipment, and it manages
this inventory so it can deliver many of the more popular test boxes
immediately. It also sustains a substantial pool of rental test equipment
that is most easily reached through two online portals on its website.
The website can be searched by manufacturer, function or category or
model/part number. For example, there are five different categories of
Nav-Aids Ltd. adapters, one each for Eurocopter helicopters, military
aircraft, miscellaneous helicopters, commuter/corporate aircraft, and
transport/civil aircraft.
This flexibility expands Aero Express's reach into almost every corner
of its test equipment niche, another factor that supports its proclamation
of being " Your Test Equipment Solution. " q
