Certification and Compliance
KBAL’s engineering department has the ability to make Transport Canada approved Aircraft Modifications to meet customers’ requirements and also changes to assist us in our own operations. We have on-site Inspectors with extensive knowledge, who work closely with Transport Canada inspectors. This close relationship allows for expeditious approvals.
