I had him do my Comanche for which there were enough difficulties to work through with him, tha I feel a fool for een considering using him, and i did , for my Cessna 421. The owner quotes one price, you sign, you pay 50% down..then he jacks the prices claiming you made change orders, that you did not make.. ,and even threatened to "report me" to the FAA. (which makes no difference) . I gave him $55,000 in funds for two planes in one year,and yet he tried to jack the price an added $6,000 on the last plane...when he had at least 16 items he admits were incomplete. I then took the plane else where, and Piad to have a lot of his very visable poor work redone , and repaired "with out" the head aches and whining.... Geez. You would think that a two time customer with over $55,000 paid out to you in advance would get better service and better results. This guy simply whines about cash flow...and then tries to inflate the job cost,while doing substandard work (in the second plane) . Teh pictures tell the story all too well. !

My highest standard for service comes with reliability and standing behind your work. Frank did a fabulous job on the installation and everything looked perfect. However, one of the gauges was consistently malfunctioning. The supplier of that gauge kept wanting to try different things to get it fixed. Finally after three years, they refunded the money thanks to Frank's persistence and helping get it resolved. When you're flying a small plane, you are truly trusting your life to the people who help keep the equipment working. I trust Frank. Mike Rowe

As a pilot one of the last things you want to hear is "take her up and see if that fixed it!"

He never overcharges and has completely reasonable rates, especially for this area. I'm moving to Washington State soon and will still bring both the Pitts and my Bonanza down to Brian for annuals.

The new owners are very responsive to customers, and their work is high quality. They have two really expert mechanics and supervise a stable crew.

My last flight was in 2003 - when I quit flying to do "other things" (including starting a family). When I decided to start flying again in 2017 I went to Scanlon Aviation "to see what had changed and to learn about Cirrus airplanes..." (I was attracted to the enhanced safety of a whole-plane parachute.) Boy was I in for a re-education! Patrick has been phenomenal! A true professional. And I now call him a friend. So much has changed since 2003, I don't know where to start. I went through Cirrus Transition Training in his SR-20 (N150SA) and gained more confidence and professionalism than I've ever had (and that's saying something since my last airplane was a highly-modified Cessna P210N - not exactly a walk-in-the-park to fly). I recently purchased my own SR-22 (with help from Patrick and team) and couldn't be happier. Flying airplanes safely and professionally requires dedication, training and introspection. It's thrilling, fulfilling and humbling all at the same time. I can think of no better mentor than Patrick and the team at Scanlon Aviation.
