- Crushed core
- Damaged laminate
- Previous repair areas
Section 02
Composite Radome Repair
Damaged laminate and core are removed and the radome is thoroughly dried before repair, since trapped moisture degrades radar performance. Repair plies and core are matched to the original construction to keep wall thickness and electrical properties within limits.
Section 03
Nose Radome Repair
Nose radomes take the brunt of hail, bird strike, and erosion. We repair laminate damage, restore erosion protection, and refinish with radome-compatible coatings.
Section 04
Radome Inspection
Inspection includes visual, tap, and ultrasonic methods to locate delamination, disbond, and moisture before repair, and to verify the repair afterward.
Section 05
RF Transmissivity Testing
Jax Aerospace performs RF transmissivity testing in-house where required by the applicable maintenance data, so the radome can be verified without sending it to another vendor.
Section 06
Mobile Radome 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.
