I own and operate a Part 145 Repair Station which does only Avionics repairs and installations. I depend on the maintenance facility here at Moore County Airport (KSOP) to provide aircraft related tooling and equipment, as well as Aircraft Maintenance Manuals. If this is no longer allowed, I would have to spend over $750,000.00 to purchase this equipment, and have no where to put it. I could not afford the increase in insurance and cost to maintain current manuals which I use once a year. I have never been denied access to this material or tooling when I needed it. In short this would put me out of business, which is what I assume you want. I would cut down on the number of facilities you would need to inspect. You have mandated that General aviation aircraft be equipped with the new generation avionics. Who will install this equipment? Maybe you will just ground these pests.
