PRECISION AVIONICS SINCE 1991
Formerly Horton Avionics, Horton Aviation has been serving the Las Vegas aviation community since 1991. We have continued to evolve alongside the advancement of technology—from the earliest GPS units to modern glass cockpits—to install custom solutions for every mission
THE HORTON WORKFLOW
1
Assessment & Compatibility Check
We start by evaluating your current avionics and electrical health. We don't just sell you a box; we verify that your aircraft’s power generation and space constraints can actually support the upgrade, preventing costly surprises mid-install.
2
Clean-Sheet Wiring
The most important part of the install is what you don't see. We pride ourselves on removing decades of abandoned wires ("ghosts") and fabricating new, properly secured harnesses. Our goal is a clean, organized behind-the-panel environment that is easy to service for years to come
3
Complete System Configuration
Installing the unit is only half the battle. We meticulously configure the software settings—from audio levels to autopilot gains—so your systems talk to each other perfectly. We don't hand over the keys until the compass is swung and the diagnostics are green.
WHY A PART 145 REPAIR STATION MATTERS
Unlike freelance installers, Horton Aviation Services (Station #YHRS284L) operates under strict FAA oversight. This means every crimp, pin, and software update is logged and traceable. As an Authorized Dealer for Garmin, S-TEC, and PS engineering, our technicians attend mandatory annual factory training to stay ahead of the latest avionics architectures. Most importantly, your investment is protected: we register your equipment for full factory warranty coverage.
FAQ
Q&A
HOW LONG DOES A TYPICAL INSTALLATION TAKE?
It depends on the complexity. A simple transponder or radio swap can be done in 2-3 days. However, a full glass panel retrofit (like a G500 TXi or G3X Touch) typically requires 1-3 months. This is because we don't just 'plug it in'—we strip the panel, remove old wiring, fabricate new harnesses, and perform extensive ground testing to ensure a squawk-free delivery.
Q&A
HOW DO I CHOOSE THE RIGHT AVIONICS FOR MY MISSION?
We start by asking: 'How do you fly?' If you fly hard IFR, we prioritize redundancy and autopilot integration (like the GTN 750 Xi + GFC 500). If you are a VFR weekend warrior, we might suggest the G3X Touch or GI 275s to maximize value. We design panels for your reality, ensuring you don't pay for features you'll never use.
Q&A
WHY USE A CERTIFIED REPAIR STATION?
Two words: Warranty and Safety. As an Authorized Dealer and FAA Part 145 Repair Station, our installations come with a full factory warranty that freelance mechanics cannot offer. Furthermore, our work is strictly regulated and audited, ensuring your weight & balance data and FAA Form 337s are perfect—protecting both your safety and your aircraft's resale value.
