Oregon-based MRO Precision Support Services has joined the SmartSky dealer network as a sales and installation partner, and has already completed an installation of SmartSky LITE on a Pilatus PC-12.

"Precision's partnership with SmartSky is important because it adds capabilities to a proven inflight connectivity product already making waves in the marketplace. We chose to partner with SmartSky because it is delivering an unequalled connection for every seat in the aircraft with bandwidth to spare," says Grayson Barrows, general manager, repair station at Precision. "It's particularly exciting to be able to offer streaming-level performance for light jets and turboprops like the PC-12. Plus, its ability to offer equally high-performance moving data to and from the aircraft makes new inflight capabilities possible to meet our customers' mission requirements."

Precision supports both fixed and rotor wings with services including full maintenance and avionics as an FAA Part 145 repair station. It specialises in Beech, Cessna, Mooney, Pilatus and Piper aircraft along with Airbus, Bell and Guimbal helicopters.

"Precision's aircraft maintenance expertise strengthens SmartSky's presence in the region," adds Aria Bahawdory, director of MRO account management. "Precision has done an outstanding job with the PC-12 installation and its extensive experience with Cessna and Pilatus makes it a desirable MRO partner for SmartSky and aircraft operators."
