Section 01
Aircraft Fuel Leak Detection
Leaks are located and classified — stain, seep, heavy seep, or running leak — to determine whether the aircraft can remain in service and how urgently repair is needed.
Section 02
Integral Wet-Wing Tank Repair
Integral tanks rely on sealant at seams, joints, and fasteners. As sealant ages it cracks and loses adhesion. We open the tank, remove failed sealant, clean and prepare the surfaces, and reseal.
Section 03
Aircraft Bladder Fuel Cell Repair
Inspection, repair, and reinstallation of bladder-type fuel cells where repair is permitted by the applicable data.
Section 04
Fuel Tank Resealing
Fillet, injection, and fastener sealing performed with specified sealants and cure schedules.
Section 05
Pressure & Leak Testing
Tanks are leak checked after cure before the aircraft is returned to service.
Section 06
Mobile Aircraft Fuel Tank Repair
Jax Aerospace is based at Northeast Florida Regional Airport in St. Augustine. Mobile service is available throughout Florida and the Southeast depending on job scope, aircraft location, repair requirements, and equipment. Where a repair is better performed in a controlled environment, components can be brought to our facility.
