PROUDLY CERTIFIED AS A CIRRUS AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER AND THE FIRST CONTINENTAL AUTHORIZED AVGAS SERVICE CENTER
OUR SERVICES
Airframe
We are skilled in dope and fabric covering, composite, sheet metal, and wood structural repair and fabrication. We perform Major repairs, Minor repairs, and certain paint and body work. We do CAPS repacks on all Cirrus aircraft, including G1 SRs. We are a Line Maintenance Facility for the Cirrus Vision Jet, with hopes to become a full maintenance center in the future. We service and repair air conditioning systems (R134 and R12), de-ice systems, and other auxiliary equipment.
Power Plant
We have extensive experience servicing and repairing Continental, Lycoming, Rotax, and Franklin engines. We are talented in performing fuel system set ups, troubleshooting, top overhauls, and accessory replacements. Because of our partnership with Continental Aerospace Technologies, we can perform all warranty work on their engines, and will work closely with their team to help with any prop strike, overhaul, or repair.
Maintenance
Maintenance when you need it. We can tackle your annual inspections, general servicing, 100 hour inspections, AOG repairs, and unscheduled maintenance. We install airframe and powerplant upgrades, STC installations, AC 43.13 compliant alterations, and can perform imports.
FROM FAMILY, FOR FAMILY
Chuck's was founded by Robert McBride, Jr., who has a deep rooted passion for the art of aircraft maintenance. Son of a retired Air Force Colonel, Bob grew up in aviation, and now has over 45 years experience in piloting and maintaining aircraft.
Chuck's is managed by his daughter, Erin Murphy, so Bob can spend more time turning wrenches, and less time in the office. Erin likes to say she's been in aviation since she was born, as her childhood was filled with helping around the hangar and flights with Dad. She is now a pilot and an apprentice mechanic. She joined the company full time in 2018, and has been the General Manager since 2024.
Our namesake is Chuck, the world's best airport dog, who kept Bob company in the hangar. Though Chuck passed away in 2012, our dog Munch now enjoys making mischief around the shop.
The Chuck's Team
Our team is our family.
With three IAs, two additional A&Ps, and three apprentices, we have over 70 year combined experience in aircraft maintenance. Bob has been awarded four 'Bronze Lindy's' at the EAA Airventure Fly-In for aircraft restoration, and his work had been featured on several magazine covers, such as Cessna Pilot and Cessna Owners.
