Lockwood to sharpen focus on parts and maintenance
LOCKWOOD TO SHARPEN FOCUS ON PARTS AND MAINTENANCE
Lockwoods Sebring Aviation will Cease New Light-Sport Aircraft Sales
Sebring, FLORIDA / March 26, 2011 Phil Lockwood announced that he will sharpen
his focus on his core capability of parts and service for all Rotax-powered aircraft.
Well known nationally for his support of the Rotax Aircraft Engine line,
through Lockwood Aviation Supply and Lockwood Aviation Repair, Phil will shift
resources from new aircraft sales to expand the parts and service business.
Lockwood will eliminate activities that align the enterprise with any single
brand of SLSA in a bid to widen its appeal and market base in aircraft service.
For the past six years Lockwood has supported the LSA movement through a sister
company, Sebring Aviation. Sebring Aviation has had the privilege to represent
manufacturers such as Tecnam, Flight Design, and Air Creation. Going forward
Sebring Aviation will continue to support the aircraft it has sold and will sell
top-quality used LSA. Sebring Aviation will also continue working directly
with various OEMs to provide specialized avionics installations for LSA aircraft.
In addition Lockwood Repair, one of the largest LSA service centers in the
USA, will continue to be a Flight Design service center. Its been a pleasure
working with Flight design and that relationship has allowed us to gain an extraordinary
level of expertise in servicing and performing major repairs on their
aircraft, said Phil.
For 17 years, Lockwood enterprises have been headquartered at the Sebring, Florida
airport (KSEF) where its expanding facilities represent an anchor tenant of
the onetime World War II airport positioned alongside the world-famous Sebring
Raceway. At this central location in the aviation-intensive state of Florida,
Lockwood is well suited to serve a large pilot population that can fly to the
airport in a couple hours or less. The company also supports a large group
out-of-state customers from the USA as many Rotax components and engines are shipped
in for service and overhaul on a daily basis.
Lockwood Aircraft Corp will expand new production of the AirCam twin-engine Experimental
Amateur Built kit and its Drifter line. The AirCam does not qualify
as an LSA but has gathered a tremendous following in the aviation community. The
AirCam represents a bright spot in an industry where sales of most aircraft
have slumped in recent years sales of the popular twin engine camera plane have
continued to increase, said Phil.
With the arrival of Light-Sport Aircraft in 2004, Lockwood established the Aero
Technical Institute (ATI), which offers factory-authorized training for mechanics
and owners allowing field services to a variety of airframes. In the LSA
world, such factory training is essential and ATI now offers airframe courses
for many of the popular Light-Sport models sold throughout America. By not representing
these same brands for sales, we believe we can do a better job of serving
the wider producer community, explained Lockwood. Featuring an informative
computer slide show that commonly fills all seats in forum tents or exhibit
halls, Phillip Lockwood has become widely known as one of the countrys leading
experts on Rotax engine operation, care, and maintenance.
Lockwood is founder and President of Lockwood Aviation Supply now in its 20th year
of business as an Authorized Rotax Service Center. He has devoted much of
his time during the past twenty years to developing and teaching maintenance techniques
for Rotax Aircraft engines.
