STRUCTURAL & COMPOSITE REPAIR

Understand the damage.
Plan the repair.

Structural and composite repair are central to our work. The aircraft, materials and available repair data guide each project.

Aircraft structural repair

Airframe damage calls for a careful look at the affected area, surrounding structure and repair history. Visible damage is the starting point; access and evaluation may reveal issues beyond what a photograph shows.

Send the aircraft make and model, where the damage is located and what happened. Wide views help establish location, while close-ups show detail. Include information about earlier repairs in the same area if known.

Composite repair

Composite components need assessment appropriate to their construction and condition. Describe the component, the damage and any change you have noticed. The material, manufacturer guidance, access and documentation requirements shape the repair plan.

Repair scope and suitability are determined after evaluation. Photos help start the discussion but cannot establish whether an aircraft or component is airworthy.

What helps us assess your project

  • Aircraft details and the specific component or area affected.
  • When the damage was discovered and the circumstances, if known.
  • Wide photographs and close-ups from several angles.
  • Previous repairs, modifications and supporting records if available.
  • Whether the aircraft is already at the airport or needs a delivery plan. Discuss the situation before repositioning an aircraft with known damage.

From assessment to an agreed scope

  1. Identify the aircraft and issue

    Share records, damage history and photographs to begin the conversation.

  2. Evaluate the repair path

    Aircraft access, applicable data, materials, parts and documentation needs are reviewed for the individual project.

  3. Agree on next steps

    Discuss the proposed scope, estimate assumptions and timing before repair work proceeds.

Service boundaries: We do not offer propeller overhaul, instrument overhaul, pitot-static or transponder testing, or paint services.
