Airframe Repairs
Airframe repairs are carried out by licensed aircraft maintenance technicians to ensure structural integrity and compliance with aviation safety standards. The process includes:
-
Damage Inspection – Certified technicians perform visual and non-destructive testing (NDT) to accurately assess structural damage.

-
Preparation – Technicians clean, strip, and prepare the affected area to ensure proper repair bonding or fastening.
-
Precision Repair – Depending on the material (metal or composite), licensed professionals carry out structural repairs using approved techniques such as patching, riveting, bonding, or composite layup and curing.
-
Inspection & Testing – Repaired areas undergo thorough inspection, including repeat NDT and functional testing, to ensure airworthiness.
-
Reassembly – All components and systems are reinstalled, calibrated, and tested by certified personnel.
-
Certified Documentation – All work is logged, reviewed, and signed off by licensed technicians in accordance with regulatory requirements.
