Aerospace & Aviation Cases

Aerospace and aviation cases protect avionics, test equipment, tooling, and flight-critical parts on the flight line, in the hangar, and in air cargo. Shop shock-isolated rack cases, waterproof cases with foam for test sets, MRO tool and parts kits, EFB tablet cases, and long and oversized cases for assemblies, from SKB, Pelican, Nanuk, Gemstar, and our own Specialty Cases line. Many are built by AS9100D-certified manufacturers and rated ATA 300 Category I.

Aerospace case selection guide

How to Choose an Aerospace Case

A good aerospace case starts with the equipment, then how it ships, then the standards your program or customer requires.

1. Define the Equipment

Record dimensions, weight, and rack units, plus the cables, adapters, and spares that travel with the equipment.

2. Match the Shipping Profile

Air cargo, checked baggage, and freight each set different limits. Shock racks protect sensitive electronics; ATA 300 Category I cases are built for repeated airline handling.

3. Plan for Tool Control

Custom foam with a cutout for every tool shows at a glance when something is missing, which supports foreign object debris (FOD) prevention on the flight line.

Aerospace case FAQs

Common Aerospace and Aviation Case Questions

What is ATA 300 Category I?

ATA Spec 300 is the airline industry's standard for reusable shipping containers. Category I cases are designed to withstand at least 100 round trips of airline handling.

What does AS9100D mean for a case?

AS9100D is the aerospace quality management standard. When a case manufacturer is AS9100D certified, its manufacturing processes meet the documentation and quality controls aerospace suppliers expect. Check each product page for the certifications listed for that model.

How can a case help with FOD prevention?

Custom foam with a cutout for each tool makes missing items obvious before a kit leaves the aircraft. Our team can design foam layouts around your tool lists and parts kits.

When should avionics travel in a shock rack?

Choose a shock rack when rack-mount electronics are sensitive to impact or vibration, or when they ship by air cargo or freight. The frame floats on isolators inside the outer shell, so impacts are absorbed before they reach the equipment.

Can Specialty Cases support a program or fleet order?

Yes. Share the equipment, quantity, and shipping method, and our team can recommend cases, quote custom foam, and confirm volume pricing.

Start With the Equipment

Dimensions, weight, and rack units are the first fit check for every mission.

Match the Shipping Profile

Air cargo, checked baggage, and freight each change the protection a case needs.

Support Tool Control

Foam cutouts make missing tools obvious before the kit leaves the aircraft.
