| Jerry Hollis began working for Kings Avionics in 1990 as our sole instrument technician. At that time we had a small “clean” room and worked on a limited amount of instruments. Jerry’s expertise includes much more than instruments. Jerry is also your connection to autopilot troubleshooting and repair. He is at home in many other aspects of Avionics and is often seen working in the hangar. | Matt Heiser began working for Kings since October 2007. He is the youngest member of our team. He has just graduated with Honors from the local Part 147 A&P school with an AOS in Aviation Maintenance Technology and an FAA A&P License. Chris as well as the other techs are teaching him to repair equipment and be a part of our shop implementing those skills he learned. |
