Scheduled Maintenance & Servicing
Routine inspections and scheduled servicing carried out in line with manufacturer requirements and recreational aviation standards. Regular servicing is the simplest way to keep your aircraft reliable, safe, and ready when you are — and to catch small issues before they become expensive ones.
Repairs & Fault Diagnosis
From minor tweaks to more involved repairs, RPA can diagnose and rectify issues across airframe, engine, and systems. If something doesn't feel right on your last flight, bring it in — a thorough inspection and honest assessment is always the starting point.
Dynamic Propeller Balancing
A smooth-running prop reduces airframe vibration, extends the life of your engine and accessories, and makes for a noticeably more comfortable flight. RPA provides on-aircraft dynamic prop balancing using calibrated equipment, with results you can feel from the first flight afterward.
Pre-Purchase Inspections
Thinking of buying an aircraft? A pre-purchase inspection gives you an independent, detailed look at airframe, engine, logbooks, and overall condition before you commit. It's one of the smartest investments you can make in a recreational aircraft purchase.
Annual & Periodic Inspections
Comprehensive annual and periodic inspections to keep your aircraft compliant and airworthy. All findings are documented clearly, with any rectification work explained before it's carried out — no surprises.
Component Replacement & Upgrades
Replacement of worn or time-expired components, plus advice on practical upgrades that improve safety, performance, or reliability. Where possible, options are presented at different price points so you can choose what suits your aircraft and budget.
