Aircraft Maintenance Services You Can Trust in Houston

---

When it comes to airframe repairs and engine troubleshooting, we combine technical precision with real-world experience. Our licensed A&P mechanics perform everything from skin and sheet metal repairs to exhaust system work, hydraulic component replacements, and engine diagnostics.

We specialize in Textron aircraft, but our team services a wide variety of general aviation models, including experimental and legacy airframes. Whether you need fuel system troubleshooting, engine mount repair, or complex powerplant servicing, our techs will get the job done right—on time and within budget.

Every repair at Rite-Way is logged with full transparency, including before-and-after documentation and compliance with FAA-approved methods and materials.

Downtime is expensive—and we get it. Whether your aircraft is due for scheduled maintenance or you're grounded due to an unexpected squawk, Rite-Way Aviation is here to get you flying again—fast.

For scheduled maintenance, we help you stay ahead of requirements with customized maintenance planning, parts sourcing, and logbook tracking. For unscheduled issues, our rapid-response team troubleshoots, repairs, and test-flies as needed to restore confidence in your aircraft’s performance and safety.

As a Part 145 Repair Station, we have broader capabilities and faster access to parts and services than many independent A&P shops—allowing us to complete more complex work with greater efficiency and full FAA traceability.

Aircraft skin damage, corrosion, or fatigue cracks are not just cosmetic—they’re a matter of safety and airworthiness. At Rite-Way Aviation, our technicians are skilled in aircraft sheet metal repairs and structural restoration, using precision fabrication and FAA-approved repair techniques.

From leading-edge dents to bulkhead and stringer replacements, we restore your aircraft’s strength and appearance with exacting attention to detail. We work with aluminum, composite structures, and bonded skins, and we specialize in Cessna and Beechcraft airframe repairs.

Whether you need post-hail repair, damage from a ground incident, or just skin panel replacement, we document every step, provide full repair drawings when required, and ensure compliance with manufacturer specs and FAA standards.

Whether you're upgrading performance, comfort, safety, or utility, Rite-Way Aviation offers a wide range of aircraft modifications that add lasting value. From STC installations to custom panel builds, our team handles every aspect of aircraft improvement—from planning and compliance to fabrication and final signoff. Popular mods include:

• Engine upgrades
   
• Propeller conversions
   
• Avionics modernizations
   
• Cabin interior retrofits
   
• Lighting and power system upgrades
   
• Extended range fuel tanks
   
• Camera mounts and utility mods
   

We specialize in modifications for Textron platforms like Cessna 182s, Bonanzas, Barons, and King Airs, but we’re also experienced with experimental and STC-heavy installations. We handle all FAA paperwork and engineering support when required.

Aerodynamic fairings and cowlings are critical not only for drag reduction and aesthetics, but also for performance and inspection access. At Rite-Way Aviation, we offer expert fabrication, modification, and custom fitment of fairings, wheel pants, gear doors, and engine cowlings to optimize the efficiency and accessibility of your aircraft.

We can alter fairings to improve airflow, improve oil cooling, provide better access to key components, or meet STC (Supplemental Type Certificate) specifications. Our team uses CAD modeling, precision trimming, and proper bonding/fastening techniques to ensure clean fit and long-term durability.

These upgrades aren’t just about looks—they contribute to better cruise performance, reduced vibration, and enhanced maintainability.

Accurate weight and balance certification is essential for safe flight operations, proper aircraft performance, and compliance with FAA regulations. At Rite-Way Aviation, we perform precise weighing services, center-of-gravity calculations, and provide updated FAA-compliant weight & balance reports after repairs, installations, or modifications.

Whether you've had a major avionics install, interior refit, or engine swap, we’ll recalculate your aircraft’s weight distribution and provide digital documentation for your logs. We use calibrated scales, certified load cells, and detailed aircraft-specific templates to ensure complete accuracy.

We support everything from single-engine pistons to multi-engine turboprops, and we keep digital copies of all documents for future reference or resale.
