AOG

What AOG Means for Structural Repairs

A structural AOG isn’t just a technical fault—it’s an operational crisis. Speed alone won’t solve it; you need on-site, FAA/EASA Part 145 expertise that can execute complex repairs correctly, under pressure, anywhere.

DAS delivers exactly that. Our mobile structural teams perform on-site inspections and repairs—from fuselage skin punctures and frame/stringer damage to composite delamination—using approved data and full documentation. Working at your aircraft’s location eliminates ferry delays and excess cost, accelerating certified return to service (RTS).

Capabilities

24/7 AOG Structural Repair Capabilities

From rapid mobilization to certified on-site repairs, our AOG capabilities are built to handle the most complex structural challenges — anywhere, anytime.

24/7 Operations Desk

We coordinate teams, tooling, and materials the moment you call. Real-time updates keep maintenance control and operations aligned. The objective is simple: minimum time on ground.

Components We Frequently Address (AOG)

Nacelles (fan, inlet, core cowls, thrust reversers), radomes, flight-control surfaces (flaps, slats, rudders, ailerons, spoilers, tabs), fuselage/wing panels, and floor panels. We apply bonded/bolted composite restorations and QCR where appropriate, with balancing and functional checks per approved data.

Rapid Structural Response Teams

FAA/EASA Part 145 technicians deploy with engineering leadership for heavy fuselage and primary-structure events. Teams execute in the field, not only in the hangar. Level III NDT oversight is engaged where required.

On-Site Structural Assessment & Repair

We arrive with inspection equipment and approved data to scope damage and set the repair path. Structural reinforcement and component replacement are completed at your aircraft’s location. Compliance and release documentation are prepared on site.

Composite & Sheet Metal Expertise

We perform precision repairs on composites and metallic structures to OEM and regulatory standards. Materials supported include carbon fiber, fiberglass, Kevlar, and Nomex honeycomb. Methods include bonded and bolted repairs with validated cure profiles.

Turnkey Mobile Logistics

Pre-packed structural repair kits and certified materials are dispatched worldwide. Our team manages routing, permits, and customs to prevent delays. End-to-end coordination ensures the right parts and people arrive together.

Regulatory-Approved Repair Protocols

All work is executed under FAA/EASA Part 145 with full traceability and audit-ready records. Controlled paint environments, environmental controls, and validated cure processes are applied as required. Facility autoclave curing is used where specifications call for it.

1. What types of structural AOG repairs does DAS provide?

We handle major fuselage repairs, composite and sheet metal restoration, panel replacements, and structural reinforcements — all performed to FAA/EASA Part 145 standards.

2. How quickly can DAS respond to an AOG event?

Our 24/7 operations desk begins coordinating logistics, personnel, and tooling immediately upon your call. Deployment times vary by location, but our mission is always to minimize your aircraft's time on the ground.

3. Can you perform AOG structural repairs outside your main facilities?

Yes. Our on-site mobile teams carry certified tooling, materials, and documentation to complete full-compliance repairs at the aircraft’s location.

4. Are all AOG repairs completed under FAA/EASA certification?

Absolutely. Every on-site intervention is fully documented and certified under our FAA/EASA Part 145 Repair Station approvals, ensuring undisputed global airworthiness compliance.

5. What makes DAS different from other AOG service providers?

DAS is a structural AOG specialist. We bring deep engineering expertise and purpose-built equipment to perform complex, large-scale airframe and fuselage repairs at your location—solving issues that would otherwise keep aircraft grounded. The result: faster return to service, uncompromised safety, and certified quality.

6. Which nacelle components can you support during AOG?

Nacelles including inlet (nose) cowls, fan cowls, core cowlings, thrust reversers, and related exhaust/fairing structures—composite or metallic.

7. Do you repair radomes during AOG, and how are they validated?

Yes. We complete certified structural repairs and validate integrity with the appropriate NDT (e.g., UT), then finish in controlled paint environments as required.

8. What flight-control surfaces are in scope at line stations?

Ailerons, flaps, slats, rudders, spoilers, tabs, and elevators—including structural repair, balance checks, and finishing to RTS standards.
