FAA upgrades Castleberry’s certification

By Janice Wood · September 5, 2011 ·

Castleberry Instruments and Avionics’s repair station has earned FAA full Class 1, 2, 3 Radio, Class 1, 2, 3, 4, Instrument and Limited Airframe ratings.

These upgrades enable Castleberry to add all avionics, all instruments, as well as installations and certain aircraft certifications to its current service offerings, company officials said.

“Earning these ratings will make us a one stop shop to our customers,” said John Semerjibashian, Sales & Service Manager.

The class 1, 2, 3 radio and class 1, 2, 3, 4 Instrument categories refer to all avionics found in the majority of general and business aviation aircraft. It is the highest level of repair certification issued by the FAA. According to Semerjibashian, the limited Airframe rating will allow Castleberry to start its new operation at the recently opened Austin Executive Airport in Austin, Texas. With this added capability Castleberry will be offering static system certifications, transponder certification, autopilot installations, and a wide variety of other services to it clients.

Castleberry Instruments & Avionics is a manufacturer of standard and autopilot gyros, flight directors, emergency power units, and inverters.
