ABOUT US
At Approach Zone, we bridge the gap between retired flight hardware and the future of aviation education and simulation. We specialize in the complex, component-level restoration of modern glass-cockpit avionics and navigation systems, repurposing them for a second life on the ground.
While we proudly support universities, flight schools, and training institutions with commercial-grade hardware, we are equally passionate about fueling the dreams of those building at home. We bring that same level of professional-grade precision to dedicated hobbyists and flight simulation enthusiasts who demand absolute authenticity in their home cockpits.
When advanced avionics reach the end of their flight cycle, we step in to rebuild them, ensuring that whether you are training the next generation of airline pilots or perfecting your own approach at home, you are doing it on the real thing.
Our Specialized Expertise
Modern flight decks rely on sophisticated digital interfaces. Our lab is equipped to handle intricate, micro-electronic restorations that standard surplus shops can’t manage. We breathe new life into:
- GPS units
- Primary Flight Displays (PFD)
- Multi-Function Displays (MFD
We don’t just swap parts; we fix them from the inside out. Our technicians specialize in precision bench-level electronics repair:
- Circuit Boards Repair: Identifying and replacing defective components in complex PCBs
- LCD Restoration: Professional repair solutions for units affected by screen delamination.
- Keypads Repair: Specialized repair solutions for units affected by unresponsive, intermittent, or physically sticky keys
Total Realism.
By focusing purely on the training sector, we give flight schools and simulator builders access to authentic hardware at a fraction of the cost of airworthy units.
Don’t Simulate the Hardware. Use the Real Thing.
Give your students and simulator users the exact tactile feedback, button resistance, and visual clarity of a real flight deck.
