About Precise Flight
Precise Flight, Inc., headquartered in Bend, Oregon, was founded in 1980 by two aviation consultants concerned about the increasing speed of general aviation aircraft when coupled with the inability to slow the aircraft down without shock cooling the engines, and in some instances, the inability to maintain cabin pressure. In 1982, Precise Flight, Inc. launched its first product.
SpeedBrakes™
SpeedBrakes™ for the Cessna 210. The new product employed vacuum technology for deployment of drag brakes, which gave pilots greater control during rapid descents. Aircraft owners and aviation experts perked up their ears. In intervening years, Precise Flight, Inc. has introduced SpeedBrakes™ for many other general aviation aircraft and has received OEM contracts from Mooney, Columbia Aircraft Mfg Co. and the New Piper Aircraft Company.
The company expanded upon its vacuum technology, first used to provide sufficient vacuum to operate it's SpeedBrakes, to launch a second product line: The SVS, Standby Vacuum System, for general aviation aircraft. The SVS offered low cost backup protection for the vacuum-powered instruments pilots depend on. Precise Flight sold over 20,000 units worldwide, before selling the product line to The Vacuum Source, LLC, www.thevacsource.com, in June of 05. The Vacuum Source will be focusing exclusively on the SVS-V and other vacuum system related products.
Pulselite®
Pulselite® system, was launched in 1984. Pilots and experts again took notice. The Pulselite system provides increased aircraft recognition through the use of flashing existing aircraft external lights. This product is available for aircraft and rotorcraft from Robinson R22 to Boeing 747's, and is proving its value on over 20,000 aircraft worldwide.
Precise Oxygen
Precise Oxygen - In June of 1998, Precise Flight, Inc. purchased Nelson Oxygen Equipment, giving the Company the ability to supply portable oxygen to pilots. The oxygen product has proven to be a good match, and a beneficial addition to the product line.
PreciseLite HID
PreciseLite HID - In July of 2005, Precise Flight launched the sale of the newest member of its product line, the PreciseLite - High Intensity Discharge (HID) Aviation Lighting. The PreciseLite was first available for purchase at Oshkosh this July, and was a hit. See the HID press release for more details.
