From Wi-Fi installs to full cockpit upgrades, our Electrical Load Analysis services uncover risks, ensure compliance, and keep your aircraft mission-ready.

Delta Load provides specialized Aircraft Electrical Load Analysis (ELA) services that support MROs, OEMs, engineering firms, and aircraft modification shops. Our expertise ensures every aircraft alteration — whether small or complex — is backed by a compliant, approvable, and up-to-date ELA.

Without proof that the aircraft's electrical system can handle the demands of new installations, both safety and regulatory compliance are at risk.

Too often, an Electrical Load Analysis is overlooked during aircraft modifications. Owners and operators may assume it has been completed, but in many cases, no documentation exists. This can be as dangerous as skipping a Weight & Balance check before takeoff.

Delta Load was founded to close this gap.

We combine DER capabilities with decades of experience across turbine and piston aircraft — fixed-wing and rotary-wing — including transport category, corporate jets, special mission aircraft, and owner-flown GA aircraft.

Our mission is simple: define the electrical changes, validate compliance, and keep your aircraft airworthy.

Why Electrical Load Analysis Matters

An Electrical Load Analysis (ELA) is not just paperwork. It is a safety tool that ensures the aircraft's power generation and distribution system can handle current and future demands.

Compliance Risk: FAA Order 8300.16, CFR 2X.1351, and international standards (EASA, CASA, ASTM F2490-20) all require proof that electrical loads are properly documented and managed. Without an updated ELA, approvals may be denied or delayed.

Safety Risk: New installations — from a single USB charging port to a Starlink Wi-Fi system — add electrical demand. Without analysis, you risk overloads, failures, or improper load-shedding during emergencies.

Hidden Risk: If an aircraft changes ownership, missing or outdated ELAs are often revealed during records review. This can reduce resale value or trigger unexpected downtime.

Failing to update the ELA after an installation is like flying with an incomplete logbook — it undermines both operational integrity and regulatory compliance.

Our Electrical Load Analysis Services

Delta Load provides three tiers of services tailored to the scope of your modification:

ELA

Electrical Load Analysis

A comprehensive review of all electrical buses, power sources, and loads. This analysis verifies that generators, APUs, batteries, and emergency sources can support the aircraft in  normal, abnormal, and worst-case emergency conditions  . Approved via  FAA Form 8110-3  , this is the gold standard for compliance.

ELAS

Electrical Load Analysis Supplement

A targeted review, generally focused on changes to a single bus or a specific modification (such as adding avionics or cabin systems). Approved via FAA Form 8110-3, this ensures incremental upgrades remain compliant.

ELCS

Electrical Load Change Summary

Sometimes called an Electrical Load Change (or Effects) Summary, this streamlined document provides a record of changes. It is not approvable but offers critical visibility into what was modified and why.

The Hidden Risks of Skipping an Electrical Load Analysis

  • You may not know if your aircraft has an ELA. Many older or modified aircraft lack a baseline analysis. Delta Load can perform an on-site baseline evaluation, documenting the true electrical capacity of your aircraft.
  • Shops don’t have the manpower or expertise. ELAs can behighly technical and time-consuming. We provide turnkey solutions so your shop can focus on the installation while we handle compliance.
  • Operators discover missing ELAs too late. During resale, lease return, or audits, a missing or outdated ELA can stall transactions and reduce value. We deliver fast, approvable documentation that keeps deals moving.
  • Unexpected downtime costs money. If the aircraft can't demonstrate compliance after a mod, it stays on the ground. Delta Load helps keep your fleet mission-ready.

Testimonials

Opening quotation marks.

I wanted to state that working with Derek was a big help when it comes to the Electrical Load Analysis (ELA) Document we generate. His expertise and input on the report really makes a difference and helped us get everything accurate and complete. I really appreciate his support on this and his always ready to help when you need him.

-  Matt Tadross, MT Avionics Services, Inc.
