Two new members

In addition to this expansion, we would like to introduce two new members to our team. Oliver Bienz who will be our Instrument Repair Services, Manager/ Senior Technician and Francisco Ruiz who will be Instrument Repair Services, Senior Instrument Technician.

Oliver and Francisco

Oliver was previously based at different avionic shops in the lower mainland fora number of years.  Oliver was trained originally as a watchmaker where he learned his love of  working with instruments.  With on the job training he pursued in career in aircraft instruments.

 

Francisco was with Oliver for 3 years and prior to that was at another lower mainland avionics shop for 1 year.   Francisco had got most of his training from the Columbia Air Force Military Academy.

Oliver and Francisco met as co-workers where they worked together for 3 years and were known as the dynamic duo.  And with over 60 years of experience between them, focusing on commercial, heavy aircraft, rotary and fixed wing, they are able to conquer any instrument given to them!
