Owner-assisted IA directory

Find an IA for your annual.

Cowlings Off helps aircraft owners find an Inspection Authorization mechanic. Search by state and the make you fly. Shops list themselves — we don't import FAA records.

How a listing gets here

Opt in. An IA submits a free listing. Nothing is copied from a government database.
Review. A submission stays pending until it is published. Rejected listings stay private.
You decide. Contact the shop directly and verify the certificate before you schedule.
