Maintenance & Pricing

We carry out routine maintenance on a wide range of aircraft, from wood & fabric LAA types right up to corporate twins.

We also carry out 'Pre−Purchase Inspections'. It is amazing the number of people who buy an aircraft without having it thoroughly examined by an experienced aircraft engineer. It is not surprising that many come unstuck with a new −wonderplane− that turns out to be anything but wonderful! Avoid this potentially expensive pitfall by having your intended purchase inspected by Touchdown Engineering before you part with the cash! Call any of the contact numbers to make the arrangements.

See our table of Fixed Costs for routine maintenance.
