Overview
Hillsboro Aviation lists its avionics service center at Portland-Hillsboro Airport (KHIO) in Hillsboro, Oregon. The operator describes avionics sales, installation, and customization for private owners, commercial operators, and corporate fleets. Its service page includes both airplanes and helicopters. This profile summarizes provider-published information and does not identify a current opening or confirm that a specific aircraft can be scheduled.
The operator describes the facility as an FAA Part 145 repair station. This is a provider-reported claim, not independent confirmation of current ratings or limitations. Verify the certificate and approved scope for a planned installation, repair, inspection, or modification.
Published avionics services
The avionics page lists full panel customization, GPS, NAV/COM, weather and traffic systems, audio panels, intercoms, phone systems, tactical systems, and ADS-B. It also describes CAD wiring diagrams, IFR/VFR certifications, and RVSM certifications. These are advertised categories, not a complete capability list for every make, model, serial number, or equipment combination.
The operator names Garmin, Avidyne, L-3, BendixKing, and S-TEC among manufacturers it sells and installs. Separate product pages discuss specific navigation and communication equipment. The presence of a manufacturer or product on a page does not establish current inventory, compatibility, or approval for a particular aircraft. Send the shop the aircraft details and current avionics list when requesting a quote.
Hillsboro Aviation also operates an aircraft service center that describes scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, avionics support, and aircraft work across several categories. Its maintenance pages mention helicopters, jets, turboprops, and piston aircraft. Ask which work is performed by the avionics department and which is handled by another maintenance team. Do not assume a general service-center claim applies to every avionics task.
Credentials and source limits
The operator says its FAA repair-station facility supports avionics services. The material reviewed here does not reproduce an FAA certificate, a complete rating list, or operations specifications. Request the current certificate details and confirm the specific function or rating that covers the proposed work. A published service label or dealer relationship is not a substitute for checking the applicable authorization.
The service center page places the facility at Portland-Hillsboro Airport. Airport location does not confirm transient access, parking, hangar arrangements, or service availability. Coordinate with the operator and airport before an aircraft visit.
Rates and scheduling
The public avionics pages reviewed do not list labor rates, standard panel packages, or a guaranteed turnaround. Request an estimate tied to the aircraft, equipment, and work scope. Ask whether design, fabrication, installation, wiring diagrams, configuration, testing, and records are included. Confirm how the shop approves additional work and communicates parts or schedule delays.
What to verify before scheduling
- Confirm the exact aircraft and equipment are within the service center's scope.
- Ask which tasks are handled by avionics staff and which are handled by other departments.
- Verify current repair-station ratings and any needed product authorization.
- Ask which testing, wiring diagrams, configuration, and records are included.
- Confirm location access, lead time, and aircraft downtime directly.
