Northern Lights Avionics, Inc.

Message: From 2023: I just had another major install done with perfection. I got 2 GI-275s and a GFC-500, along with a new GMA-345 audio panel. The 275s are configured as an ADI and an HSI/backup ADI. The GFC-500 has pitch, roll and yaw. Once again I was amazed at how well planed and organized the install was. This shop has a process. They have a special room just for building up the cables and testing the equipment before the install, along with racks for all the equipment organized by aircraft, and large racks next to each aircraft in the shop. I like to keep up with what's going on and have input at any decision points. They kept me will informed, showed me everything they were doing, answered all of my questions and put it together exactly the way I wanted it.. To fit the instrument into a basic 6-pack, I needed to replace the 1967 panel. They designed one in a CAD system, printed it out, and taped it over the hole where my old panel was with a light behind it, so I could see if I liked the new layout. I made a few tweaks, they showed me the new 'draft', then when I was satisfied, they cut it, powder coated it and laser engraved it.. I knew I would like the new setup - I had read the manuals and seen the Garmin and other YouTube videos, but when I flew it, I was absolutely blown away.. As always with Northern Lights, everything worked perfectly. I see on forums the kinds of problems people have with avionics installs. I would recommend that they fly up to Alaska and get it done right the first time! From 2019: Another install, another excellent job by Northern Lights Avionics. I just upgraded from a GNS430W to a GTN650. They helped me get a buyer for my 430W at a fair deal for both me and the buyer; got me in a bit ahead of the original schedule and got it done for less money and faster than I had planned on. As I read the manual, I asked for a few tweaks to parameters, etc., and they had those done within about 10 minutes from the time I shut down my engine when I taxied up to their shop. Everything works great. My rule on avionics of over 30 years now still holds: no one touches my avionics except Northern Lights!

Message: I bought an Aera 760 and other things here. They always take the time to answer my questions. Fantastic store with a wide selection of things for your airplane.

Message: Great service. They had a heli to GA headset adapter, FAR /AIM 2020, a mic cover and Log books! Free popcorn! I showed up at 435pm and had everything just a few min later. Highly recommend this place for your aviation needs.

Message: I love this little boutique for aviators. The staff are extremely nice and accommodating. A little unknown fact, you can go here and borrow, like a library book any headset to try out on your next flight. They give you 24hours and if you have some flight delay just let them know and they can plan accordingly. Just leave your credit card on file to make sure you bring it back.. no big deal. I ordered the bose A20 and due to Bose back logged i just wound up borrowing the headset they had for a about a weeks worth of flights. Got my New A20 and could not be happier.. did i mention the staff are awesome..

Message: Very helpful and professional place to have an installion done, they will meet your needs! Great place to get supplies, headsets, training material, very nice pilot shop.

Message: They are extremely helpful and supportive, also donate to our EAA chapter42 here in Anchorage. They even help folks that do their own work and do not spend much money! A rare gem in the Industry. They have also helped local flying clubs with their used stuff, too!

Message: A great group of folks working at Northern Lights Avionics. They did my Garman GPS upgrade in my airplane and did a awesome job, ADS-B compliant now!

Message: THE aviation place for pilots and aircraft owners in Alaska. Full service Nav and Comm shop with a hangar for complete installs. Pilot shop with free coffee, cookies, and popcorn. Everything from charts, sectional maps, GPS, headsets, flight bags, ELTs, radios and ADS-B installation. Great bunch of folks who are friendly, helpful and know what they are talking about.
