Beringer Wheel & Brake Upgrades
Brakes are one of those systems you don't think about until they fade, drag or need relining yet again. Aero Professionals is a dealer for Beringer aerospace-grade aluminum wheel and brake upgrades. We help owners at Gastonia Municipal Airport (KAKH) and across the Charlotte region choose and install the right system for their aircraft.
Why owners upgrade to Beringer
Beringer wheels and brakes are machined from aerospace-grade aluminum and designed as a modern replacement for many original wheel and brake assemblies. Owners typically consider an upgrade when they want:
-
More confident braking, especially on shorter or grass strips
-
A wheel and brake package designed for their aircraft and type of flying
-
A clean, modern look on the gear
We'll talk through the options available for your aircraft and how you fly, so you can decide whether an upgrade makes sense.
Popular with backcountry and taildragger owners
Owners of Maule and CubCrafters aircraft, and other airplanes that see short fields and unimproved strips, often look at wheel and brake upgrades first. We also work on Piper, Mooney, Cessna and Socata TB9, TB20 and TB21 aircraft. Call to ask what's available for yours.
Installation at our Gastonia hangar
We install Beringer upgrades at our hangar at Gastonia Municipal Airport (KAKH). Gear and brake work fits naturally into an annual or 100-hour inspection, when the aircraft is already on jacks and the wheels are coming off for inspection anyway.
Related upgrades
Owners who invest in wheels and brakes often look at other reliability upgrades at the same time, such as an EI engine monitor or SureFly electronic magneto, both of which we are a dealer for. If you're buying an aircraft and want to know what the gear and brakes really look like, start with a pre-buy inspection.
