Kings Avionics is one of the few facilities that has earned the FAA certification necessary to perform maintenance and annual certifications of that equipment at the nation’s 252 Non-Federal Air Traffic Control Towers. The FAA created its Contract Tower Program in 1982.

If it does not use or lease the tower’s operational equipment to the FAA, it must maintain it and pass annual FAA audits.
