Star Aviation is an FAA/EASA approved MRO facility located in Crestwood, Kentucky specializing in avionics intermittent fault diagnostics, powerplant repairs, and aircraft system wire harness work. They have developed a proprietary Intermittent Fault Detection and Isolation System (IFDIS) that is unrivaled at diagnosing intermittent faults that other methods find as "no fault found". IFDIS maps all detected faults, establishes a baseline for future analysis, and decreases costs associated with non-detects. Star Aviation also uses advanced testing equipment like micrographic analysis and battery analyzers to ensure quality repairs and maximize component life.
