Aircraft expertise you can put your name behind.
Beckett Aero LLC is the practice of Michael Beckett — a private pilot, FAA-certificated Airframe & Powerplant mechanic with Inspection Authorization, and an aircraft broker agent for Seitz Aviation. Maintenance, inspections, and buy-sell guidance, all from one trusted hand.
Michael Beckett, Owner
I founded Beckett Aero LLC to do aircraft work the way I'd want it done on my own airplane — carefully, honestly, and on the owner's schedule. As an FAA Airframe & Powerplant mechanic holding Inspection Authorization, I handle everything from routine inspections to annuals, and I sign off the work personally.
As a private pilot and aircraft owner myself, I understand that an aircraft is both a serious responsibility and a real source of freedom. That perspective shapes how I approach every logbook entry and every conversation about a purchase or sale.
I live on a residential airpark in Yelm, Washington, with my home shop hangar and my own airplane just steps from the front door — aviation isn't just my profession, it's the life I live and breathe every day. That immersion keeps me current, hands-on, and genuinely invested in every aircraft I touch.
Beyond the shop, I serve as an aircraft broker agent for Seitz Aviation, helping buyers and sellers navigate the market with someone who knows the airframes from the inside out.
Credentials & Roles
What I do
A focused practice built around two things owners need most: an airplane that's airworthy, and straight answers when it's time to buy or sell.
Inspections & Maintenance
Annual and 100-hour inspections, scheduled maintenance, troubleshooting, and airworthiness sign-offs — performed and certified under my A&P/IA authority.
Inspection Authorization
Independent IA inspections and the return-to-service authority that comes with it, so your aircraft's records are complete and compliant.
Aircraft Brokerage
As a broker agent for Seitz Aviation, I help buyers and sellers value, evaluate, and close on aircraft — with a mechanic's eye on condition and records.
Find the Right Aircraft
I help buyers choose and find the right aircraft for their mission — then travel anywhere in the USA to perform the pre-purchase inspection in person, so you know exactly what you're buying before you sign.
