Precision Aviation Buys King Air Landing Gear Specialist

Atlanta-based Precision Aviation Group has acquired Trace Aviation in a bid to expand its aircraft landing gear work. Based in Jackson, Mississippi, Trace specializes in Beechcraft King Air and 1900 landing gear exchanges and overhauls. Specifically, Trace provides repair of worn bores and bushings, brace assemblies, hydraulics, actuator housings, cylinder bearings, and axles for Beech 1900s, as well as King Air 90, 100, 200, and 300 variants.

“Additionally, [Trace], like Precision Aviation Group, is well known for delivering exceptional customer service and industry-leading products to their customers worldwide,” said Precision Aviation Group president and CEO David Mast. “It is the perfect platform to expand our MRO services to better serve our customers.”

Likewise, Trace will be able to expand its product and service offerings to its existing customers through access to Precision Aviation Group’s $50 million in rotable inventory, added Trace president Mike Pigott. “We believe this partnership will provide significant benefit to our customers, vendors, and employees,” he said. Trace operates from a 20,000-sq-ft facility at Medgar Evers International Airport and employs more than 20 people.
