About Us

Company Details:

Answers Aerospace Engineering was established when founder Greg Mathias recognized an increasing need to support legacy avionics and instrumentation. Feedback from airline customers, parts support companies, and others expressed growing frustration with the lack of OEM support, parts obsolescence, engineering support, high prices of parts, and long lead times. Responding to the needs of the industry, Answers Aerospace Engineering has the knowledge and experience to reverse engineer complex obsolete technology and source modern alternatives for obsolete and limited availability parts. We are one of the few select repair stations willing to set up new units and capabilities, which others wouldn’t even attempt.

Answers Aerospace has also reverse-engineered and produced obsolete circuit cards used in commercial DADC variants that are no longer available from the OEM. We analyze the parts list and source modern alternates for obsolete/limited-availability parts. Units repaired at Answers Aerospace are final tested and inspected using factory and in-house-engineered Automated Testing Equipment, ensuring highly reliable repairs.

Answers Aerospace Engineering offers a unique and comprehensive range of avionics repair services. Our personnel have over 40 years of experience with the current systems we support, and we have built a reputation as the “Go-To Company!” We strive to provide our customers with the highest quality of evaluation, repairs, and overhauls available in the industry. Our team pursues every avenue to improve product reliability and ensure customer satisfaction.

Our Differentiating Value is that we specialize in managing and supporting obsolescence issues through reverse engineering and FAA DER solutions. Our extensive understanding of the equipment we support sets us apart from our competitors!
