Avionics Service Areas
Since 1975, Depot Avionics, Inc. has served aircraft owners throughout the Southwest and Great Plains as a trusted destination for avionics installation, instrument panel upgrades, troubleshooting, and repair. Located at Alamosa Regional Airport (KALS) in southern Colorado, our FAA-certified repair station welcomes aircraft from Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Kansas, Texas, and beyond.
One Shop, One Airport, A Multi-State Service Area
States and Regions We Regularly Serve
- Colorado: our home state, with many owners based along the Front Range and across the San Luis Valley.
- New Mexico: a steady base of owners flying in from Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and communities throughout northern New Mexico.
- Arizona: pilots making the trip for panel upgrades and glass cockpit work.
- Utah: owners scheduling full avionics upgrades around their annual inspection.
- Kansas: fly-in customers for radio, GPS, and audio systems upgrades.
- Texas: regular project traffic from across the state for custom instrument panel builds.
If you are outside one of these areas, reach out anyway. Many of our customers fly several hours specifically because of the shop’s reputation and the chance to be hands-on with the project.
Why Aircraft Owners Choose to Fly In
Choosing an avionics shop is about more than location. Aircraft owners often travel to Alamosa because of three key advantages:
- FAA-certified repair station services
- Complete in-house panel design and fabrication
- Direct access to the technicians performing the work
Rather than outsourcing panel manufacturing, we design, fabricate, powder coat, and install custom instrument panels in-house. This allows greater quality control, improved communication, and a more personalized experience throughout the project.
Many owners appreciate being able to tour the shop, view progress firsthand, and discuss equipment options, mission requirements, and budget directly with the technicians working on their aircraft.
What We Handle for Fly-In Customers
We regularly provide:
- Custom instrument panel design and fabrication
- CNC-machined and powder-coated instrument panels
- GPS navigator installation and upgrades
- Glass cockpit conversion projects
- Autopilot installation and configuration
- Communication and audio systems
- ADS-B, traffic, and weather systems
- Engine monitoring and management systems
- General avionics troubleshooting and repair
What to Expect When You Fly In
Most projects begin with a consultation and quote request. After reviewing your aircraft and mission requirements, we provide recommendations tailored to your goals and budget.
Small repairs and inspections can often be completed within a short visit. Larger avionics projects are scheduled based on scope, equipment availability, and current workload.
When you arrive at Alamosa Regional Airport (KALS), you’ll have the opportunity to meet our team, review your aircraft in person, discuss equipment options, and receive a clear written proposal outlining recommended equipment and project costs.
Common Questions From Out-of-State Owners
Do you only work on aircraft based in Colorado?
No, we regularly serve aircraft owners across Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Kansas, and Texas. Most customers fly their aircraft directly to Alamosa Regional Airport for both the consultation and the work itself.
How long does a custom panel upgrade take?
Full custom panel upgrades are scheduled projects, and the timeline depends on parts availability, project scope, and current workload. We confirm a specific timeline with you during the quote process rather than giving a generic estimate.
Do I need an appointment to fly in for a quote?
Are you FAA certified?
Yes, Depot Avionics, Inc. operates as an FAA-certified repair station, and we hold factory-authorized repair capability on many of the units we install and service.
