Directory

Who to call

Owning an airplane means finding people: a mechanic who knows your type, an avionics shop that will take your calls, an escrow agent who has closed a hundred of these. This directory is organised by distance from where the airplane actually lives, because that is the constraint that matters.

Nothing is listed yet, and saying so beats pretending. A directory is only worth reading when it is populated, so this one opens with the categories rather than with invented businesses. If you run one of these, you can add it now and be the first thing somebody finds.

List your business

How a listing gets here

Two ways. A business adds itself, or it is imported from a public register — FAA repair station certificates, Part 141 schools — and sits unclaimed until somebody at that business claims it. An unclaimed entry shows only what the public record says and is labelled as such. Nothing is written in a business’s voice unless that business wrote it.

What we will not do

Sell the ordering. A business can pay for a labelled slot at the top of a category, and that slot says it is paid. Everything below it is ranked by distance and by whether we have verified the certificate — never by who spent money. A directory that quietly sells its ranking is worth nothing to the person reading it, which makes it worth nothing to advertise in either.
