It boasts a generous hangar space where your aircraft will be protected from the elements during maintenance, and is also home to our engine overhaul facility and fuel system maintenance facility. Our hangar floor is equipped to provide services such as:

• Engine/Airframe 100 hourly/Annual inspections
  
• Basic/Complex repairs or modifications
  
• Corrosion inhibiting treatment
  
• Pre-purchase inspections
• Corrosion treatment and removal

 

 

 

Engine/Airframe 100 hourly/Annual inspections

hatever make or model your aircraft; whether it be fabric covered of full metal construction, fixed wing or rotary, your aircraft will be inspected and serviced professionally by our experienced technicians.  Care will be taken to ensure your aircraft is safe and serviceable through to your next scheduled maintenance check.

Basic/Complex repairs or modifications

e are now fortunate enough to have access to a second hangar space dedicated to sheet metal work and repair, utilising high quality tooling to ensure any repairs, big or small, are of the highest quality. 

We also have a dedicated paint shop to ensure your parts are fully protected against the elements. 

Corrosion Inhibiting Treatment

orrosion is considered the number one enemy of aircraft around the world.  The costs of removing, treating and often repair or replacement of parts due to corrosion can rapidly become very expensive if not found and rectified in its early stages. In most cases the best cure for corrosion is prevention.

To protect your aircraft from corrosion formation as much as possible, have The Aviation Centre spray the internal structure of your aircraft with an approved Anti Corrosion Formula (we recommend ACF-50). 

To view more information on ACF-50 you can visit Corrosion Control

Corrosion Treatment and Removal

• Worm like lines or bubbles starting to form under your paint?  
• White powdery substances developing on external, or worse, internal structure?  

 

Have it professionally removed by our trained staff before it becomes a dangerous and not to mention costly situation. 

We can remove harmful corrosion in situ or on removed components depending on what the situation demands.  After corrosion removal, the surface will be treated to ensure all of the corrosion has been neutralised before being given a protective chemical treatment (Alodine®) and finally painted.

Do not delay removing corrosion, as active corrosion does not go away, it will only get worse leading to greater material loss, greater costs (including possible replacement of damaged parts) and greater danger of parts becoming weak and potentially failing.
