FAA Issues Avionics Theft Alert For NC Pilots

Thieves Stealing King, Garmin Stacks From Parked Planes

The Aircraft Electronics Association told ANN Saturday of the following notice from the FAA Safety Team:

Avionics Theft Alert: There has been a series of avionics thefts in North Carolina in March at numerous airports. They have occurred after normal working hours in aircraft parked in unsecured areas (not a locked hangar).

These thieves are knowledgeable of aircraft systems and are removing King and Garmin series avionics without damaging the aircraft -- in most cases.

Please be on the lookout for suspicious activity. A complete stack of radios can be removed in less than two minutes.

Check your aircraft to determine if any equipment is missing. Report any thefts or suspicious activity to your local sheriff and the NCDOT at (919) 840-5299. Ask for Steve Merrit or Tom Freeman.

A good vigilance is a strong deterrent.
