About

Airtronics is known throughout the general aviation community for award winning cockpit design, avionics upgrades, and advanced autopilot expertise. It all began in 1956 when Ron and Betty opened R&B Airtronics in Oxnard, CA.  Twenty-seven years later James M Lewis acquired the business from Ron and Betty and ever since then known as Airtronics. In 2009, Mr. Lewis’ son James D Lewis assumed operations, and incorporated the company as a Wyoming corporation “Airtronics Inc.”. Since Oxnard in 1956, Airtronics has performed avionics upgrades, major retrofits, avionics repairs and major alterations for over 16,000 general aviation and commercial aircraft.

The Airtronics aviation architects have with many hours of flying different missions. The Airtronics architects develop solutions with careful consideration to the client’s flying skill, style, mission, and budget.

Airtronics Inc is an avionics dealer supporting most major brand equipment manufacturers, yet only a few select manufacturers meet the “The Airtronics” requirements and make it into The Airtronics cockpit.

Avionics manufacturers must satisfy Airtronics’ stringent requirements to be eligible as equipment included in The Airtronics Cockpit.
