Mission Elliott Aviation continuously builds upon its legacy in delivering comprehensive aircraft sales, MRO services, and innovative products for our customers and industry partners.

Description About Us: Elliott Aviation

Since 1936, Elliott Aviation has grown, evolved, adapted, and innovated to meet the ever-changing needs of its customers. Our world-class service company began quite modestly in the 30’s when Herb Elliott started Elliott Flying Service on a grass airstrip in DeWitt, Iowa. We have since expanded to even better serve our clients.

Elliott Aviation is now a diversified aviation services company with four U.S. based locations. These locations include the company’s headquarters in Moline, Illinois, and its three additional facilities located in Atlanta, Georgia; Des Moines, Iowa; and Minneapolis, Minnesota.

With over 85 years in the industry, Elliott is one of the longest-standing companies in aviation. Our services include aircraft sales (as Elliott Jets), avionics service & installations, aircraft maintenance, FBO services, accessory repair & overhaul, paint, interior, parts, and aftermarket avionics sales.

Elliott works on Hawker, Citation, Beechjet, King Air, Challenger, Phenom, Gulfstream, and Falcon airframes. Our experienced technicians excel in maintaining light to mid-sized jets and turboprops; we offer expert solutions to meet your every need.

Developing and delivering quality solutions ever since those beginnings in 1936, Elliott is big enough to handle all your aircraft needs, yet we are small enough to still provide the personal touch you deserve.

With state-of-the-art facilities and equipment, proven processes, and highly trained and experienced technicians, we deliver world-class quality and service customized to you and your aircraft.

Today, we operate from four U.S. facilities, including our headquarters in Moline, Illinois, and additional locations in Atlanta, Georgia; Des Moines, Iowa; and Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Our longevity, spanning nearly nine decades, is a testament to the dedication of our employees. From skilled technicians and engineers to customer service professionals and sales experts, our team brings passion and precision to every aircraft we touch.

Despite our growth, we remain a company where relationships matter. Our employees take pride in delivering personalized service and expert solutions, ensuring every customer feels valued and every aircraft receives the highest standard of care.

Mastering Autothrottle on the Garmin G1000 NXi: Transforming King Air Operations In aviation, few technological upgrades offer a combination of efficiency, safety, and confidence the way Garmin’s Autothrottle does. For decades, turboprop pilots have relied on their judgment, reflexes, and constant vigilance to manage power settings. The arrival of Autothrottle, integrated seamlessly into the Garmin G1000 NXi flight deck, is changing that equation. Already approved for the King Air 200 series, with certification for the King Air 300 series expected soon, this system represents a new chapter in automation for Beechcraft’s iconic turboprop line. At its core, Autothrottle manages engine thrust with precision, responding to changes in flight conditions and pilot selections to maintain optimal power settings. What makes this innovation so important is not just the convenience of automated throttle control. It is the way the system strengthens safety margins, streamlines pilot workload, and protects the engines from costly exceedances. When paired with the broader Garmin Autonomi ecosystem, including Autoland and Electronic Stability and Protection (ESP – which is included with autothrottle), Autothrottle is far more than a luxury. It is a transformational capability for owner-operators, corporate flight departments, and charter providers alike....Show more
