We’re proud to congratulate Aero Engineering and Powerplant (Pty) Ltd (AEP) on successfully completing its official audit and being formally recognised as an Authorised ROTAX Repair and Overhaul Centre.
This milestone reflects AEP’s unwavering commitment to quality workmanship, regulatory compliance, and the highest standards in aircraft engine maintenance and overhaul.
ROTAX operators and aircraft owners understand that engine reliability is non-negotiable. Authorised repair centre status is earned—not granted—and AEP’s certification demonstrates the depth of technical expertise, disciplined processes, and precision required to support modern light aircraft and sport aviation.

AEP is also uniquely positioned as the only Authorised ROTAX Overhaul Centre in the Southern Hemisphere, reinforcing its strategic importance within the ROTAX support network.
Led by Andre and an experienced team under Bryan’s technical leadership, AEP brings decades of hands-on expertise in engine overhaul, repair, and maintenance.
