At Guardian Aerial Patrol, our aircraft are of the highest quality and reliability. We use only Cessna brand aircraft that are maintained by FAA approved A&P/IA mechanics who are on site and ready to keep the planes flying for our clients. Each plane is inspected thoroughly every 100 hours of flight time to ensure their utmost reliability and safety. Each aircraft is equipped with not only the standard general aviation avionics, but they are also certificated and equipped to fly in instrument conditions. This ensures our ability to be able to fly and inspect your lines when others can not. As an added bonus to our customers, each of our aircraft are also equipped with some of the latest in GPS technology. When these coordinates are paired with the pictures we take of all reports, ground crews spend significantly less time locating and repairing any problems. In addition to these measures, each aircraft is thoroughly inspected for airworthiness before and after each day of flying.
