Aero Maintenance Pro was built with one goal in mind: to raise the standard of general aviation maintenance. With over 20 years of experience developing and managing aviation maintenance operations across the U.S., we recognized the need for a more transparent, modern, and accountable approach to aircraft care.

Based in Caldwell, Idaho, we focus on high-performance piston and turbine aircraft, specializing in Cirrus and general aviation platforms. What sets us apart isn’t just the quality of our work — it’s how we manage it. We’ve integrated ModernHawk, a powerful digital tracking platform, to provide our clients with real-time visibility into their maintenance, inspections, and compliance.

Whether you're looking for a trusted shop to handle your annuals or a full-service team to manage your aircraft year-round, Aero Maintenance Pro delivers with professionalism, precision, and integrity — every time

    Bryan Leone

    DIRECTOR OF MAINTENANCE

    Growing up turning wrenches alongside my father in his garage ignited my passion for aviation maintenance early on. In 2000, I enlisted in the US Army, dedicating six years to specializing in helicopter turbine engines. Upon completing my service, I transitioned into civilian maintenance by joining a Part 145 repair station’s engine overhaul shop.

    I earned my Airframe and Powerplant (A&P) certification in 2007, demonstrating my commitment to industry standards and expertise. Since 2011, I have held an Inspection Authorization (IA) license, allowing me to conduct critical inspections and approvals in compliance with FAA regulations.

    Complementing my practical experience, I obtained an Associate of Arts degree in aviation maintenance from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. Throughout my career, I have remained actively engaged in aviation maintenance, providing dedicated support to both Part 91 general aviation and Part 135 commercial airplane and helicopter operations. My comprehensive background ensures a deep understanding of maintenance requirements and regulatory compliance in diverse aviation environments.
