Calibration-Grade Maintenance Discipline
Traceability applied to light-sport support.
Lima Charlie Aero LLC applies a calibration and traceability mindset to light-sport aircraft support. That means clear aircraft identification, documentation review, symptom definition, maintenance-manual alignment, and a controlled next-step process instead of guesswork.
The background behind the business includes undergraduate education in IT and business administration, 20+ years in calibration, serviceability thinking, troubleshooting, documentation control, and maintenance-control discipline.

Owner Story
Built from an owner's frustration into a sharper standard.
Lima Charlie Aero LLC began after the owner bought his own aircraft and was not satisfied with the quality and consistency of the maintenance experience available to him. He pursued the certificates and training needed to understand the work, control the standard, and support other owners with the same manual-driven discipline.
The company is veteran-owned and operated. Past amateur car and motorcycle racing experience, including amateur race licenses, informs setup discipline and mechanical sympathy without replacing aircraft documentation, Rotax requirements, or certificate privileges.
Focused scope
S-LSA, E-LSA, Rotax 9 Series troubleshooting, prebuy evaluation, aircraft records review, and owner-coordinated maintenance planning.
