At Last!! We have a 2 new 15X Sturt Pump videos. The first one explains how it works, how to maintain it and how to fix it. The second one demonstrates how to modify the pump and install our nitrogen adapter kit that lets you boost nitrogen pressure using cheap shop air.  Our rugged 15X pumps have been in service for more than 25 years and people forget that they need a little TLC at times.  Watch the video. I’m sure you will find it informative. https://youtu.be/qXdUFFcu-vc https://youtu.be/fVdFayUV_Xk

New Jack Pads for Cirrus SR 20 and SR 22: Bogert Aviation now has jack pads available for the Cirrus SR20 and SR22. The factory service manual calls for the use of jack points to be installed at the wing tie down points for lifting the SR20 and SR22. The Cirrus pads are machined steel and include a rubber pad where the pad contacts the wing. They will be available on line shortly but until then they can be ordered by calling us directly.
