ABOUT EAGLE TECH OPS

At Eagle Tech Ops, we believe exceptional aviation begins with exceptional maintenance. Born from decades of experience in skydiving operations, aircraft ownership, and high-performance fleet management, Eagle Tech Ops was created to deliver a new standard of precision, reliability, and transparency in aircraft maintenance and technical operations.

What began as in-house maintenance supporting a demanding flight environment has evolved into a full-scale technical services organization trusted by operators, mission-critical teams, and aviation businesses across the country. From high-cycle jump aircraft to corporate and utility platforms, our team understands that downtime isn’t just inconvenient — it’s costly. That’s why everything we do is engineered around keeping aircraft flying safely, efficiently, and with maximum operational readiness.

WHAT SETS US APART

Operational DNA

Eagle Tech Ops isn’t just a maintenance provider — we’re operators ourselves. We maintain aircraft that fly some of the highest cycles in general aviation, giving us a unique perspective on preventive maintenance, cost-efficient solutions, and the real-world challenges operators face every day.

A Growing Nationwide Footprint

With operations currently expanding in Ottawa, IL and Fort Pierce, FL, Eagle Tech Ops is strategically positioned to support skydiving operators, charter companies, flight schools, and aviation businesses throughout the Midwest and Southeast.

OUR CREW

Donovan Bartlett

I’m Donovan Bartlett, Director of Maintenance at Eagle Tech Ops, and I’ve spent more than 25 years doing what I enjoy most—keeping aircraft safe, reliable, and ready to fly. I work hands-on with our maintenance team while overseeing day-to-day operations, compliance, and long-term planning, and I’m proud to lead a group of skilled A&P and IA-certified technicians. Over the years, I’ve worked on a wide variety of aircraft, including the De Havilland Twin Otter, Cessna Caravan, Short Brothers SC7 Skyvan, PAC 750XL, King Air series, Cessna 182, Cessna 206, and Cessna 401. My background includes 100-hour and annual inspections along with manufacturer maintenance programs like the Twin Otter EMMA Program and the Short Brothers SC7 Skyvan Maintenance Program. On the engine side, I have experience with PT6A engines (-27, -34, 114, and -114A), TPE331 engines, and inspections such as King Air and PAC 750XL Check 1 and 2. I also regularly handle structural repairs, modifications, and complex maintenance projects that require careful planning and attention to detail. One project I’m especially proud of is the restoration of a Short Brothers SC7 Skyvan, which brought together troubleshooting, teamwork, and a lot of hands-on problem solving. What I like most about this job is that no two days are the same. I enjoy digging into tough maintenance issues, learning something new, and working directly with customers to deliver exceptional service they can trust. The most rewarding part for me is supporting customers and training and leading a strong maintenance team, making sure the work is done right and everyone goes home safe at the end of the day.

Charles Lane

I’m an Aircraft Mechanic with over 10 years of hands-on experience in the aviation industry, dedicated to maintaining and repairing aircraft to the highest FAA standards. I take a great deal of pride in my work and approach every aircraft with the mindset that safety, reliability, and attention to detail are non-negotiable.

As an Inspection Authorization (IA) holder, I’m trusted with some of the most critical inspections and maintenance decisions affecting an aircraft’s airworthiness. That responsibility has shaped a thoughtful, methodical approach to my work—one that emphasizes compliance, precision, and doing the job right the first time. I believe strong maintenance practices are the foundation of safe and successful flight operations.

Throughout my career, I’ve worked on a wide range of aircraft and maintenance tasks, which has strengthened my problem-solving skills and reinforced the importance of clear documentation, preventative maintenance, and teamwork. I enjoy mentoring others when I can and contributing to a culture where quality and safety are always the priority.

At the end of the day, my goal is simple: to ensure every aircraft I sign off is reliable, safe, and ready to fly. I’m proud to be part of a team that holds those same standards and values aviation professionalism as much as I do.

I’m the newest mechanic with Eagle Tech Ops, and I bring a lifelong passion for fixing machines to every aircraft I work on. I was raised on a farm, where I began repairing and maintaining equipment at an early age—experience that continues to shape my hands-on, practical approach to aviation maintenance. After completing a three-year apprenticeship with Eagle Tech Ops, I recently excelled in all testing for my Airframe and Powerplant ratings.

Before transitioning into my career as an aircraft mechanic, I spent 25 years in the print industry as a project manager and quality control inspector. That experience helped me develop a sharp eye for detail and a proven ability to manage multiple projects efficiently and accurately.

I’ve also been an avid skydiver for 27 years, and I take great pride in maintaining the aircraft that I—and my friends—depend on every day, aircraft that many consider among the finest in the industry. When I’m not maintaining them or jumping from them, I enjoy piloting aircraft as well. My instructional journey began at the age of ten with gliders, which eventually led to my first aviation job, trading ramp work for flight lessons. While life managed to delay the completion of my PPL, instruction has recently resumed—I think I may have just been waiting to finish it from my own charted airfield that I built on the farm.

Bottom line: if it flies, I want to be a part of it. I’m proud to be part of the Eagle Tech Ops team and grateful to work alongside people who share the same passion for aviation that I do
