Cockpit conversions • Avionics retrofits • Special-mission integrations • Worldwide on-site installation
Operators don't replace airframes — they modernize them. A modernization program is the lowest-risk way to extend service life, restore route authority, cut training costs, and enable mission capabilities the original type design never imagined.
LB Aircraft Engineering delivers end-to-end modernization programs from our Doral, FL engineering and manufacturing facility. Engineering, certification, kit manufacture, and on-site installation come from one team, under one AS9100D quality system, accountable to one program manager.
Replace mechanical or first-generation EFIS panels with modern integrated displays. Typical scope:
Government, military, parapublic, and humanitarian operators need mission systems on civil airframes. We engineer the integration as a certifiable modification, not a workaround:
What sets LBAE apart is that the same team that engineers the modification also manufactures the kit and supports installation:
FAA STCs are valid worldwide for the registration country, and we engineer with EASA, ANAC, TCCA, and CAAC validation in mind. We support foreign authority validation packages so your modification holds up wherever the aircraft flies.
Yes — that's the strength of an Approved Model List STC plus PMA-manufactured kits. We can plan a fleet rollout that respects your maintenance schedule, route authorities, and capital budget.
Yes. Our engineers travel to MROs, completion centers, or operator bases worldwide to support installation, commissioning, and ground/flight test — or to run the entire installation under a turnkey program.
Tell us the platform, the mission, and the constraints. We'll come back with a phased modernization plan and a fixed-price proposal.
