On the avionics side, EAM can do ADS-B installations from all the major avionics manufacturers on aircraft up to midsize jets, Datacom installations, cockpit retrofits, autopilot installations and general avionics troubleshooting and repair.

Jeff Coffman, founder of a Phoenix-based Part 91 aircraft management and sales firm, has been named president and CEO of EAM. The facility will continue to maintain a close working relationship with CTEC, which will continue to offer engine and machine shop services, as well as its FBO in Glendale, Arizona.
