Baymark Aviation

Baymark Aviation is a shining example of all that has made Van Nuys Airport the place you see and feel in Brian Terwilliger’s legendary film «One Six Right», and this is exactly how I would describe Baymark’s approach to service, maintenance, and aircraft support… Legendary. I first came to Baymark about a year ago, after having owned my airplane for just about a year. The Liberty is an uncommon and at first somewhat challenging technically advanced aircraft because of its FADEC engine management systems and composite airframe. I’d been searching for a top notch A&P willing to learn its unique systems, and help me tailor the aircraft to my needs and wishes. Most mechanics scratched their heads, offered to do the easy stuff, and recommended I call the Florida based manufacturer everything else. Little did I know, the best people for the job were a hundred yards from my hangar, right here at VNY. Vastly knowledgeable Art and his team of very friendly, hard working, incredibly sharp mechanics, Anita, Cristian, Cy, Rene, Rey, were willing to read all the documentation, spend time with the airplane, and come to know it well. They are never reluctant to dive into the details, work with regulations, and achieve desired results to the highest of standards. I am always welcome to come and see things up close, ask questions, and provide feedback. In the front office, Mark, Carolina, and Anita welcome me to come in, sit down, ask questions, discuss options, exchange ideas, and just do a little hangar flying with the pilots and airport regulars that quickly become family there. I often find myself stopping by just to say hello, listen to stories, or learn something new. For me, the Baymark family continues to be a huge part of all that is great about general aviation.

I keep my Piper Cherokee in San Diego and had the airplane have an ignition issue while it was in Oxnard. Baymark had a mechanic available who hopped a flight to Oxnard and fixed a magneto timing issue so the plane could get back home. These guys really saved my neck and got me out of a jam today. They even pointed out some things they recommended to be done by my mechanic in the near future. If you need a mechanic who is interested in genuinely helping their customers, this is the place for you. I can’t say thank you enough.

Love this place. Super clean airplanes and good rates. Got my private pilot certificate here. Easy parking and planes are usually available even at the last min. They are mainly a maintenance shop which I think is why the planes are in such good condition. Highly recommend if you are looking to rent at van Nuys.

Baymark Aviation is awesome! I love renting planes here. They are always clean and in tip top shape since they are an aircraft maintenance center. I
‘ve been flying here for over a year or so and haven’t had any problems. They offer online scheduling which helps to see when aircraft are available. The owner, Mark, is a professional down to earth guy who knows his sh*t. His assistant Veronica is super sweet and so helpful! I love the crowd that this business has attracted. All different types of students and instructors that are passionate about aviation. Even when I’m not flying it’s always a pleasure to swing by and say hi.
I’ve flown their 152 and 172. The 152 is inexpensive but not cheap in quality. It’s a very nicely equipped IFR or VFR training platform and is peppy.
My favorite is 4BF, the newly painted 172 with a new leather interior, new HSI and new Garmin 530 GPS. It’s the plane that I completed my solo cross countries in and the plane I plan to complete my private certificate in.
Baymark has two full time flight instructors on staff that are ready and available to teach you to fly or check you out in their aircraft.

I’ve not had an easier time dealing with an establishment regarding aircraft rental. I was introduced to Baymark by a friend who rents aircraft there as well. The a/​c rental prices are arguably the best you’ll find in the area. Service to customers are always visibly a top priority and never have I felt that they were trying to overcharge or pull a fast one on us clients unlike previous ones I’ve worked with in this industry. I can honestly say that I am glad to have been introduced to them as now I consider them a local gem for renter pilots like myself in the Van Nuys area. If you are shopping around, I recommend giving them a try and I believe I won’t disappoint you.

Baymark is an awesome place has low prices and great airplanes, also great customer service nicest girl at front desk to help out with any questions, highly recommend baymark for flight training.

After owning a few planes and dealing with aircraft mechanics, I finally came across BAYMARK AVIATION where I brought my Skylane 182 for repairs. There I met Mark, who introduced himself as the owner. After talking to him about the issues on my airplane right away I knew I was talking to a very reasonable person. I also met Art who is the shop manager. They diagnosed my aircraft and gave me a very reasonable price, but best of all they began working on the plane immediately. They have a very knowledgeable crew. From the beginning they saved me thousands of dollars on the repairs. I was able to fly away in my aircraft. They do excellent work and I will be at this place for my annual inspection for sure every year. I wish I would have known them before… and I would have saved myself a lot of money and headaches.

I shopped around for good affordable maintenance for my SR22, most places are over priced and slow at getting work done. Mark Bayne, the proprietor worked with me on parts pricing, also let me speak to his head of maintenance, Art, whom is extremely knowledgable. Art is a rockstar among aircraft mechanics. He DOES NOT throw parts at a problem to fix them, he trouble shoots intelligently and efficiently; saving me money and also getting it right the first time.
I will only take my plane to Baymark.
