Honest aircraft maintenance, on the field in Prineville.
Annuals, pre-buys, and repairs across Central Oregon, or fly-in from your home strip. Done right, done fast, at a fair price.
The mechanic your buddy recommended.
No flight-school overhead. No corporate service desk. Just an A&P who flies, who lives here, and who'll tell you the truth about your airplane.
You deal with the mechanic
Erik does the work and answers the phone. No service desk, no middleman.

Annuals done right and on time — we protect your flying season.

Your kind of airplane
Cessna, Piper, Cubs, tailwheel and backcountry singles — the planes Central Oregon flies.

Maintenance is all we do.

The shop runs on a short list. It's the same list Erik wishes every shop he's ever dropped a plane at would follow.
We quote before we wrench.
You get a clear estimate before any work starts. Nothing begins on your airplane without a number you've agreed to.
We call before we cut.
If we find something on inspection, you hear it from Erik — with options and pricing — before we open the wallet.
We finish when we said we would.
Your annual is on a schedule. You'll know when to drop it off, when to plan around it, and when to fly it home.
I have depended on High Desert Aviation for aircraft maintenance and flight reviews for over a decade. Erik Cook, owner and IA, has frequently responded to repair and training needs throughout central Oregon. He specializes in light aircraft training, including back country flying. Full service aircraft maintenance includes installation of uAvionix digital avionics.
