Rocky Mountain Aircraft

Rocky Mountain Aircraft is a Canadian aviation company based in Calgary, Alberta. It says it has supported aircraft owners and operators around the world since 1982. It offers maintenance and many related services, from small jobs to whole fleets.

George and Liane Stevenson founded the company in 1982, near the foothills of the Canadian Rockies. It started with three employees in a hangar that was far from ideal. Today it has nearly 100 employees and manages a leasing fleet of more than 40 aircraft. The company says it remains family owned and run, under Shannon Stevenson.

The company is known mainly for work on the DHC-6 Twin Otter. It says it has deep experience with all models of this aircraft. It designs modifications and custom changes for Twin Otters. It also works on other business and general aviation aircraft.

Maintenance is a main service. Rocky Mountain Aircraft is approved by Transport Canada and by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency as a maintenance organization. An in-house engineering department backs the work. The company lists heavy overhauls, reconstructions, aircraft salvage and custom modifications.

Other services include avionics, parts, sales and leasing. Avionics are the electronic systems in an aircraft. The company says it matches avionics solutions to the aircraft's flight profile and the business needs of the operator. It stocks and sources new, overhauled and serviceable parts and accessories. It also lists aircraft for lease and sale in domestic and international markets.

The company also handles aircraft on ground situations, known as AOG. This means an aircraft cannot fly until a problem is fixed. The team says it can respond to these cases. It also offers engineering, certification and manufacturing services.

The website includes news and technical notes, a careers page and contact details for scheduling maintenance or asking about modifications.
