Loki
Hangar
$60,000
This project will build a suitable structure able to hangar a
Cessna Caravan and a Cessna 206. It will also provide office space
for AIM AIR’s Loki program, storage space, and the basic tooling
needed for complex maintenance of our aircraft to take place. AIM
AIR’s central maintenance facility is 365 miles away in Nairobi. An
on-site facility will greatly reduce the time and money expended
keeping these aircraft dispatch-ready. The new Loki hangar will
enhance AIM AIR’s ministry into Sudan, and beyond, by streamlining
our operations, reducing cost, and allowing for the growth of
personnel and aircraft.

406 Mhz Emergency
Locator Transmitter
10 Units at $2500
each - $25,000
An ELT is
a transmitter that is activated automatically by the forces
incurred in an airplane crash. The new 406 MHZ ELT's are a vast
improvement over the old VHF units bolted inside our airplanes.
They utilize satellite and GPS technology coupled with a government
agency to detect signals and alert the operator. The signal
detection is improved from hours to minutes, location accuracy from
450 square miles to a few hundred feet, and they work anywhere an
airplane may go down, even through a thick jungle
canopy.
Avionics Shop
Upgrade
$10,000
This project involves removing all the existing Radio Base
furnishings (work benches, storage units, office furniture) and
installing newly constructed furnishings. New furnishings are to be
built and installed according to a new design which maximizes the
utilization of space. The construction and installation of the new
furnishings will be done by AIM-Tech. The present shop
configuration has served well in meeting the avionics and
electronic repair needs of AIM and other missions since it opened
in 1982. The increase in the number of individuals in the shop,
increased equipment required to repair today's electronic items,
the need for separation between different types of repair
operations, the need to replace aging furnishings, and the need to
meet the regulatory requirements of aviation authorities, have
precipitated the need for a redesign of our shop facilities. Our
goal has been to produce a design that will serve AIM AIR and AIM
well into the future.
