About Flugtechnik Stuttgart
Flugtechnik Stuttgart GmbH is an aviation maintenance facility based at the General Aviation Terminal of Stuttgart Airport with a service center of over 600 m² in Hangar K2. The company was founded as Sportflugservice Stuttgart GmbH, later run by the aircraft engine specialists Kula & Breuninger and taken over in 1985 by the German air rescue organization DRF (Deutsche Rettungsflugwacht); since 1994, Werner Helm has been directing the maintenance operation as an Inspector Class 1 + 4. The service portfolio covers the maintenance and repair of licensed aircraft types with a European approval up to 5.7 tonnes, inspections, annual checks and the maintenance of business jets. Piston aircraft engines from Lycoming and Continental are completely overhauled in-house according to the original overhaul manual, including crack testing, engine removal and installation, and acceptance flight. In addition, the company overhauls accessories such as alternators, starters and ignition magnetos according to the manufacturer's manual with a documented test run on its own accessory test bench and EASA FORM ONE. An inventory of over 3,000 original aircraft spare parts and consumables distributed across three warehouses ensures short downtimes, with delivery on the same day.
