Aircraft maintenance

Small ads for aircraft maintenance. We read each website before the ad runs, so every ad leads somewhere worth your time.

Choosing an aircraft maintenance organisation

In South Africa, maintenance on a certified aircraft must be done or certified by an aircraft maintenance organisation (AMO) approved by the SACAA under Part 145 of the Civil Aviation Regulations, or by suitably licensed engineers within the limits of their licence. The approval is not a blanket one. Each AMO is approved for certain categories of work and certain aircraft, so the first question is always whether this organisation is approved for your aircraft and the job you need done.

What to check before you book

Maintenance planning and airworthiness management

Not every company in this category turns spanners. Some specialise in continuing airworthiness: planning inspections before they fall due, tracking components and life-limited parts, keeping the records in order and handling renewals and registrations with the authority. For an owner with one aircraft this can save a grounded weekend. For a fleet it is close to essential.

Where to look

Most maintenance work in Gauteng happens around the main general aviation airfields. See aircraft maintenance in Johannesburg for companies working around Lanseria and the West Rand, or go back to all aviation ads.
