Yeah, agree. By train 1:30h from Munich, a little nice hotel in town for 85€ in case it takes a day longer.
SCAN AVIONICS Denmark
It may be helpful if people posted info on whether they used the said shop and what sort of job on, or if they have a business or employment relationship with the said shop.
For example anybody can install a GNS430, with near zero understanding of avionics interconnections. I know one such guy – he installed 100+ of them
I have had three bare metal refits and one major upgrade. One refit at Straubing, the rest at Bournemouth/Lee.
I am merely a customer, though after all that money and a lot of recommendations(to both), I daresay a valued one.
I was in Straubing for:
- autopilot troubleshooting (servo, pitch servo, ILS intercept problems)
- installation of alt preselect and GPSS
- WAAS upgrade
- Prop overhaul at MT Propeller (also in EDMS)
- the plane has been in Straubing many times.
Avionik Straubing have also opened a branch in Egelsbach (EDFE) and are using Diamond Aircraft’s hangar and facilities there.
I don’t know how comprehensive their service offering there is as I have been mainly using them for the FAR 91.411 and 91.413 recertification and to troubleshoot an issue I had with the pitch servo of my GFC700. I also need to add that the work was on a DA40, i.e. I don’t know their local level of expertise with non-Diamond aircraft.
EDFE is obviously easier to reach from a major international airport (Frankfurt) than Straubing.
40 euros an hour at Herbst aero for Avionics work – not bad and could be negotiated for a big upgrade I would imagine

Top of the tree, in my opinion, is EDMS Straubing.
Sorry, I cannot support that company. Totally incompetent.
That’s a damaging and unqualified statement – you need to give details to support it.
