Aviation Rebuilders, established in 1997 by the late Ken Jones, has a long-standing history of excellence in sheet metal work and cable fabrication for light aircraft. The company continues to honour Ken's legacy by upholding the highest standards in craftsmanship and service. His passion still soars through everything they do, and his memory remains their guiding wing.
With a team of dedicated employees, some of whom have been with the company for over 20 years, Aviation Rebuilders thrives on family values, loyalty, and a deep-rooted passion for the aviation industry. Their commitment to quality and integrity remains at the heart of everything they do as they strive to provide exceptional solutions for aircraft maintenance and repair.
Aviation Rebuilders have a fully equipped sheet metal repair facility, with every imaginable piece of equipment that would be required to carry out sheet metal repairs to your beloved aircraft. With decades of expertise in our workshop, the art of sheet metal is practiced with love and care. From their fabulous English Wheel to their various rollers and benders, the possibilities are endless.
A common maintenance issue all aircraft face, is frayed flight control cables, hence predetermined inspection intervals as dictated by the aircraft manufacturer. However, you need not panic; they are at your service for all your flight control cable requirements. Should you need a cable in a hurry, not a problem, they offer and average turnaround time of one day per assembly on standard flight control cables. Cables are assembled as per sample or specification as supplied. A frayed cable will never be the reason for extended downtime on your aircraft.
Approval under SA CAA AMO 188, Category B, enables them to carry out repairs to all aircraft of metal construction for which current publications are available. The company's only limitation would be the height of its hangar roof, so we're reaching for the sky on that one.
They undertake to offer very reasonable quotations on incident/accident damage repairs, either privately or alternatively will happily quote your assessor in the event of an insurance claim. With the support of their approved team of sub-contractors in the mechanical, painting and various other categories as are required, Aviation Rebuilders will manage your repairs and do their utmost to ensure your aircraft is flying again soon.
Conveniently located at the entrance to Rand Airport, arguably the most awesome and historically significant in Joburg, easily accessible from several highways and offering all the services you would expect from your airport of choice, with ATC, Emergency Services and Rand Fire Department all available at Rand Airport, for your safety and convenience, Rand is the ideal destination for all your maintenance requirements.
If your aircraft needs a little TLC or maybe slightly more extensive repairs, please do give Lynne at Aviation Rebuilders a call or drop her an email with your requirements, she promise to do her utmost to assist.
