Four Decades of Specialized Excellence

Founded in 1988, Four Star Accessory Overhaul brings more than 40 years of aircraft accessory experience to operators worldwide. We are a trusted partner for high quality accessory repairs and dependable MRO services across multiple aircraft platforms.

Specialized Focus

We specialize exclusively in aircraft accessory repair, developing unmatched expertise across hydraulic, pneumatic, power generation, electromechanical, fuel system, and other critical aircraft systems rather than spreading ourselves across avionics, landing gear, or heavy maintenance. This specialization enables us to solve complex problems that generalist shops cannot. 

 

Our Tumwater, Washington facility was designed for precision and efficiency, equipped with advanced machining, testing, and NDT capabilities. As an Accessory Classes I, II, III (Unlimited) repair station, we operate under FAA, CAA, and EASA certifications, with Lockheed Martin authorization for advanced accessory repair.

 

With more than 20,000 part numbers supported, Four Star helps operators consolidate maintenance, reduce downtime, and simplify logistics with a single trusted partner.
