Yingling Approved for Goodrich Deice Installations

Yingling Aviation, an FBO and MRO-services provider at Wichita Eisenhower National Airport, has been named by Collins Aerospace as an authorized Goodrich deicer service center, enabling the Kansas company to install Goodrich’s line of FASTboot, SILVERboot, and standard pneumatic deicing boots and systems.

“This means we are able to access the products and in-depth factory installation training and expertise provided by Goodrich,” said Yingling v-p of business development Jerry Pickett, adding the agreement provides Goodrich and Collins exposure to Yingling’s “extensive list of customers and aircraft operators developed over 75 years.”

In addition to being the largest, independent Cessna parts supplier, Yingling’s maintenance and modification services include airframe, avionics, interiors, and paint with an emphasis on new and legacy Textron Aviation aircraft. “The quality of service and the reputation that Yingling has established in all aspects of maintenance and service during its decades in Wichita add another attractive choice for Goodrich deicing installations to customers in the middle of the country,” added Collins aftermarket business development manager Tony DiGiacomo.
