Our story in a few words
In 1977, our company was founded as Precision Aircraft Services by Frank Hinds in San Angelo, TX. He had a vision of what he expected from a maintenance facility and believed he could achieve that in his new business. However, the future was unsure in the early years as the company’s reputation was being built.
Precision Aircraft Services first rented hangar space from a local fixed-base operator (FBO) that no longer wanted to provide maintenance. After several years in this location, the company was forced to move, and they built a new hangar on the south end of the ramp. This hangar is still our location today.
Since we started, our goal has always been to provide swift, high-quality customer service. No matter who they are, we treat each client as if they were our only client. Over the years, Precision Aircraft Services quickly became one of the top maintenance facilities in West Texas for pleasure planes, commercial aircraft, and airline aircraft.
In 1980, Precision Aircraft Services expanded our role in the aviation community by becoming one of the first Authorized Robinson Helicopter service centers. The brand’s helicopter models immediately exploded in popularity in the area, and their customer base grew beyond what most had expected. Ranchers found that the helicopters met their needs, and people found they could also use them for pleasure.
Through the years, our company has continued to expand our expertise and grow our business with new customers. Staying up to date with technology, we have always remained at the forefront of minor and major changes in the industry. We have managed to expand our knowledge for our customers that wanted the latest aircraft and state-of-the-art parts, from new types of planes and helicopters to new models of magnetos.
In 2006, Precision Aircraft Services expanded our Robinson Helicopter service center to include the R44 model. Since then, the Robinson Helicopter fleet we maintain regularly has grown to over 36 customer-owned helicopters. We have the knowledge and skills to complete inspections and repairs quickly. Today, we are an authorized repair center for the R22, R44, and R66 models. We have customers from across the country that trust our knowledge and skills.
With every aircraft we maintain, Precision Aircraft Services can develop a plan that meets the needs of our customers. Whether the next flight is for a family trip or a commercial job, we take every step possible to ensure our clients do not miss it. We will assign additional manpower to a job or work after-hours to complete the aircraft on time. With a strong team of experts that work well together, we can fulfill our customers’ demands within any schedule.
In 2013, Precision Aircraft Services rebranded to Angelo Precision Aircraft Services, LLC. This name change is another sign of growth as the company expands our role in the aviation community by offering more services in new areas requested by our customers. Throughout our history, we have met our customers’ expectations and will continue to do so in the future.

Balancing
Balancing is important to protect your aircraft from destruction caused by vibrations. Propeller vibration can cause cracking and other damage. Most propellers should have a inch per second of less than .5 ips. Helicopters have a 2.0 for the majority of their balancing. This shows how important the manufactures feel it is to balance propellers.
Angelo Precision Aircraft, LLC has searched the country for some of the most talented and experienced technicians that they could find. They found licensed technicians who had excelled in their field over the years and recruited them to join their team.
The majority of those who they brought on to their team had over twenty years of experience in their respective fields. Their talents added knowledge, skill, and expertise to the team and provides additional services to the customers of Angelo Precision Aircraft.
