The PFI Story
Our story is simple: We're all about safety. We pride ourselves on the unrivaled ability to manufacture lighting, oxygen and electromechanical technologies that improve upon the safety and experience of our markets. And because we consistently provide our customers the same quality they have come to know and expect from our products, we've been doing just that for over 25 years.Our extensive range of products is equipped on aircraft, airlines and defense around the world. Our focus on customer service and quality is relentless, which we're certain contributes, at least in part, to the company's transformation from a small Bend, Oregon-based aircraft safety and performance company into a leading global competitor of integrated performance systems.
The Vision: Working together to become the most trusted source of lighting, oxygen and electromechanical technologies worldwide.
"What else could we do and how else may we serve our customer?" We will continually ask ourselves these questions and incorporate the answers into our daily objectives in order to succeed in our mission and vision.

Core Capabilities
Precise Flight is uniquely distinct in the aviation industry by not only supplying proprietary products in the SpeedBrake, Pulselite, PreciseLite HID and LED Lighting and Oxygen Systems, but also has the ability to design or coordinate custom products for a variety of large manufacturers.Precise Flight is currently working with government agencies on key technological advancements in conspicuity and lighting, and holds several patents in anti-collision lighting.
Precise Flight's core technological capabilities fall into the following three categories:
Lighting
At Precise Flight, we have led the way in developing safe, efficient and effective technologies for large aircraft external lighting. In addition to the Pulselite system, our familiarity with aviation lighting has allowed us to advance into HID and LED lighting, with the PreciseLite line of lighting solutions, choosing technologies that represent aviation standards of dependability and efficiency.Precise Flight's Pulselite system is installed on 80% of all new business aircraft manufactured by Gulfstream, Bombardier, Cessna and Israel Aircraft Industries, and on general aviation aircraft manufactured by Maule, Aviat and EADS Socata. Precise Flight manufactures SpeedBrakes at the OEM level for Mooney, Cessna Aircraft Company, Kit Components (Lancair Kit Aircraft), and The New Piper Aircraft Company.
Oxygen
Precise Flight's Oxygen Systems, formerly Nelson Oxygen, are the highest regarded oxygen solutions available to the aviation consumer. Spanning a wide range of applications from the built-in system on the Cirrus SR22 and Cessna 400 with the display and actuation integrated into the instrument flat panel display, to the Cirrus semi-portable system with its most efficient crash load-capable mount which stows out of the way when not in use, Precise Flight is the leader in general aviation oxygen systems.Electromechanical Controls
Precise Flight's SpeedBrake system is the most widely recognized amongst high performance piston aircraft spoiler systems. In fact, spoiler systems have paved the way to the company's success in motor and motion control, as these technologies have been applied to motor driven trim and flap and cabin heating applications.In addition to its core product lines, Precise Flight manufactures a variety of electronic cockpit controls such as trim panels, flap switch panels, annunciators and LED backlit panels for various OEM aircraft companies. These items are all carefully designed to integrate into the aircraft cockpit to meet customer needs and compliment aircraft interior.
