CUSTOM PANEL DESIGN.

Designed Around Your Aircraft.

A great panel starts long before the first piece of aluminum is cut. We work with you to develop a panel layout around your aircraft, equipment, flying goals, and preferences—bringing function, usability, and appearance together into a design that works for you.

 

MORE THAN EQUIPMENT PLACEMENT

A Panel Designed as a Whole.

Panel design isn’t simply finding space for displays, radios, switches, and circuit protection. Equipment placement, ergonomics, visibility, control location, mounting requirements, future serviceability, and the overall appearance of the panel all need to work together.

LAYOUT & ERGONOMICS
Controls and equipment positioned around how you’ll actually use the aircraft..

EQUIPMENT INTEGRATION
Planning around the avionics, controls, switches, circuit protection, and other equipment in your system.

INSTALLATION PLANNING
Considering equipment depth, mounting, structure, clearances, and what happens behind the panel—not just what you see from the front.

FIT & FINISH
A clean, purposeful layout carried through fabrication, finishing, and labeling.

YOUR PANEL. YOUR INPUT.

A Collaborative Design Process.

1. TELL US ABOUT YOUR PROJECT
We start by gathering information about your aircraft, avionics, equipment choices, flying goals, and personal preferences. Our project information forms help us collect the details we need to get the design started in the right direction.

2. WE DEVELOP THE INITIAL DESIGN
Using the information you provide, along with our experience designing and building aircraft panels, we create an initial panel layout that considers equipment placement, ergonomics, functionality, installation requirements, and overall appearance.

3. REVIEW & REFINE
We send the initial design to you for review and provide an opportunity to make changes to the layout and details. We work through the included design revisions with you before finalizing the panel for production.

4. APPROVE & MOVE TO PRODUCTION
Once approved, we finalize the panel design and prepare it for the next stage of your project—whether that’s fabrication, finishing, assembly, or integration with other services we’re providing.
