About Our Shop

Maintenance You Can Trust

Harford Air's maintenance operation is run by FAA-certified Airframe & Powerplant (A&P) mechanics with Inspection Authorization (IA). Our team maintains Harford Air's own 12-aircraft fleet — which means we work on these airplanes every single day and know them inside and out.

We're based at Harford County Airport (0W3) and available to the local flying community for everything from routine oil changes and annual inspections to more complex avionics work, engine troubleshooting, and airframe repairs.

If you keep your aircraft at 0W3 or nearby, there's no need to fly to a distant shop. Call us to schedule work and we'll fit you in around your schedule.

Regulatory Compliance

AD & IFR Certification

Keeping your aircraft legally airworthy means more than just fixing what's broken. Our IA mechanics track Airworthiness Directives (ADs) applicable to your aircraft and powerplant, and ensure all required inspections are completed on time.

For IFR-equipped aircraft, we coordinate pitot-static and transponder certifications required under FAR 91.411 and 91.413, typically every 24 calendar months.
