Facility Description
size, location, environment, equipment highlights
White Ladder Aviation operates from a dedicated 1,500 sq. ft. inspection and testing facility located in Skiatook, Oklahoma. The shop is purpose-built for nondestructive testing and accessory component evaluation, with defined areas for receiving, in-process inspection, part preparation, and final reporting.
Our NDT area includes a controlled-environment fluorescent penetrant inspection booth with proper UV intensity, darkening, and contamination controls. The maintenance/inspection space is equipped with calibrated tools, workstations for disassembly and cleaning, and access to all required technical data. Segregated storage areas support proper control of serviceable, unserviceable, and quarantined parts.
The facility maintains appropriate lighting, climate control, ventilation, and safeguarding to ensure compliance with FAA Part 145 requirements. Technical records and manuals are stored securely with both physical and digital access controls. Visitor and access protocols ensure a secure, professional environment suitable for certificated repair station activities.
