How Are Composite Materials Inspected and Repaired in Modern Aircraft?
#1
Composite materials such as carbon fiber and fiberglass are now common in aircraft design, offering strength without added weight. A Florida Aircraft Maintenance Company has specialized tools and training to inspect and repair these materials. Visual checks, ultrasonic testing, and tap tests detect delamination, cracks, or moisture intrusion. If damage is found, technicians follow manufacturer-approved repair guidelines to sand, bond, and cure the area. In Florida’s humid climate, composite structures are especially vulnerable to moisture, so protective sealants are also applied. Repairs must maintain structural integrity and aerodynamic properties, especially around wing edges, tail fins, and fuselage panels. Certified repair stations maintain clean environments and use precision-cut materials for patching. Every repair is documented per FAA standards to ensure ongoing airworthiness. Using non-metallic composites requires a different approach than aluminum repairs, and trained Florida technicians ensure every step meets safety and performance requirements, keeping aircraft light, strong, and reliable.
