Customer Testimonials
"Great improvement and a completely different machine to fly!..."
The custom built engine is in the aircraft and going like a dream. Great improvement and a completely different machine to fly! I’m very happy. Dan Elliott, Fitzroy Helicopters
"You get what you pay for..."
You get what you pay for. A BAE overhaul is quality and the ongoing support is priceless. Ian Colville, Ian Aviation
"Our company has been dealing with Brisbane Aero Engineers for over 20 years...."
Our company has been dealing with Brisbane Aero Engineers for over 20 years. We have always found their work to be of an exceptionally high standard and their after sales service and support has been outstanding during this time.
Paul Mitrega, Managing Director
"QEC assemblies which they do to a very high standard which helps reduce cost and downtime...."
My GA8 Airvans have flown over 16,000 hours and always had Brisbane Aero Engineers rebuilt engines, (except for the factory new engines at delivery), mostly as QEC assemblies which they do to a very high standard which helps reduce cost and downtime. Ian Jarvis, Private Aircraft Owner
"Great, reliable engines and components with product support and advice all delivered in a timely manner..."
We have been using Brisbane Aero engines exclusively in our fleet of Cessna Titans for approximately 12 years and have nothing but praise for the product and service these guys provide. Great, reliable engines and components with product support and advice all delivered in a timely manner.
Gary Sparks, Chief Engineer/Responsible Manager, Airlines of Tasmania
"It feels like he has a stake in your company and my profitability is his main concern..."
I have been using BAE for over 15 years for all my engine work. It is a small company thus you deal with the owner who does care about the outcome and your needs. If Dave feels it would be more economical or wise (due to mod status) to replace with factory rather than BAE doing the work he will make that recommendation to you. It feels like he has a stake in your company and my profitability is his main concern. I feel safe knowing that there is never any compromise in the workmanship in BAE’s engines. Ben Bowden, Longreach Aircraft Maintenance
"In Ten years we have not had one failure that could be contributed to BAE, indeed one very low time engine rebuilt after a prop strike now performs better than its factory sister..."
Advance Aviation has been using Brisbane Aero Engineers engines almost exclusively for 10 years. Our fleet of Navajo, Chieftains and Cherokee aircraft all have BAE engines and I cannot speak highly enough of the quality and precision that BAE continually produces. Our engines operate daily and it is comforting to know that this is one part of the aircraft I do not have to worry about. In Ten years we have not had one failure that could be contributed to BAE, indeed one very low time engine rebuilt after a prop strike now performs better than its factory sister. If you are looking for a reliable engine call David and the crew and remember a failure is way more costly to the business than a cheap overhaul.
Alec Mercer, Managing Director, Advance Aviation Group
"We have always had honest, excellent service and support from Brisbane Aero Engineers and would recommend them to anyone requiring engine repair ..."
Horsham Aviation Services has had an association with Brisbane Aero Engineers for over 25 years now and my personal relationship went back a further 5 years with David’s father Max during the mid 1980’s. We have always had honest, excellent service and support from Brisbane Aero Engineers and would recommend them to anyone requiring engine repair and/or overhaul work. Tony Brand, Director/Chief Engineer, Horsham Aviation Services
"During this time we have found the products they supply to be of superior quality combining this with knowledgeable advice and trouble shooting..."
Brisbane Aero has been supplying our company with aircraft engines and associated components for the last 6 years. During this time we have found the products they supply to be of superior quality combining this with knowledgeable advice and trouble shooting. When required, Brisbane Aero has transported aircraft components over to Broome at short notice, limiting aircraft down time. The engines we receive are always ready to be fitted straight into the aircraft with all the baffles attached and the workmanship is of an exceptional standard. We will continue to use Brisbane Aero as we know they deliver great service and quality products. Andrew Grace, Kimberley Aviation
"You can be assured when dealing with BAE you will be subjected to a constant source of professional, efficient and highly experienced individuals..."
The team at BAE, led by David and Joel, have been nothing short of amazing in their response to all enquiries we have put forward to them. You can be assured when dealing with BAE you will be subjected to a constant source of professional, efficient and highly experienced individuals. Scott Clark, GSL Engineering
"The engine was returned in far better condition than it had come from the Lycoming factory! Far more power, smoother and better fuel economy..."
The Lycoming engine in our new 2007 Decathlon was a dud. Lycoming was less than helpful over the warranty. When students flying the aircraft had a prop strike that required a bulk-strip we contacted David Paynter at Brisbane Aero Engines. The engine was returned in far better condition than it had come from the Lycoming factory! Far more power, smoother and better fuel economy. It looked great too, painted in two pack to match the aircraft, and helped to keep the rust away! Gerry Dick, Aerobatics Australia Pty Ltd
"The quality of the work leaving Brisbane Aero Engineers has always been second to none..."
Brisbane Aero Engineers has been our Engine Overhaul and associated part/component provider of choice for over 20 years. The quality of the work leaving Brisbane Aero Engineers has always been second to none. I have found that David and his team have always been overly helpful, and conduct themselves in a truthful and professional manner.
Darren Gibson, Chief Engineer, Macleay Aircraft Maintenance
"BAE is an invaluable part of our charter operation. Their service is unsurpassed by any other aviation based business in Australia ..."
BAE is an invaluable part of our charter operation. Their service is unsurpassed by any other aviation based business in Australia and there backup support is unrivalled. In our business, we couldn’t afford not to use BAE engines and components. If full service life is a target of your business, choose BAE. Josh Hoch, Owner and Director, Hoch Air
"I'm happy with the outcome all round and thanks again for your workmanship,,,"
After my Cessna 414A RAM IV engines were overhauled by BAE there wasn’t a drop of oil, fuel or anything leaking from the motors – all very tight. They are a pleasure to look at and to fly behind (and very reassuring). I’m happy with the outcome all round and thanks again for your workmanship, it is much appreciated. John, Private Aircraft Owner

"Of all the engines I have installed and maintained over the years, the BAE engines stand out above all others..."
Of all the engines I have installed and maintained over the years, the BAE engines stand out above all others for reliability and trouble free service throughout their lives. I have always found BAE customer support and back up service to be second to none.
