Greater Support, Expertise and Confidence for ROTAX Aircraft Owners
Comet Aviation Supplies is proud to announce that Plane Maintenance Facility (PMF) at Lanseria International Airport is now a ROTAX Approved Repair Centre, further strengthening the support network available to aircraft owners and operators across Southern Africa.
With more than 25 years of aviation maintenance experience and a long-standing reputation for technical excellence, PMF has established itself as one of South Africa’s leading aircraft maintenance organisations. Operating under SACAA AMO 875, the facility provides maintenance and support for a wide range of aircraft and engine types while serving clients throughout Southern Africa and beyond.
What This Means for ROTAX Operators
ROTAX engines have become the preferred powerplant for many Light Sport Aircraft (LSA), microlights, homebuilt aircraft and flight training fleets due to their reliability, fuel efficiency and modern design. However, maintaining these engines requires specialised knowledge, approved procedures and access to genuine parts.
As a ROTAX Approved Repair Centre, PMF can now provide factory-approved maintenance, inspections, repairs and technical support in accordance with ROTAX standards. This gives aircraft owners peace of mind that their engines are being serviced by technicians who have access to the correct training, procedures and support required to keep their aircraft operating safely and efficiently.
A Trusted Name in Aircraft Maintenance
Based at Hangar 44, Lanseria International Airport, Plane Maintenance Facility has been maintaining South African-registered aircraft since 2000. The company has built a strong reputation for quality workmanship, regulatory compliance and customer-focused service.
PMF’s technical team is trained across a broad range of aircraft and engine platforms and undergoes ongoing recurrent training to ensure the highest standards of safety and maintenance quality.
In addition to their new ROTAX approval, PMF is recognised for its expertise in:
- Continental engines
- Lycoming engines
- Austro engines
- Continental Diesel engines
- Turbine engine support
- Diamond Aircraft maintenance and support
The company also serves as an authorised Diamond Aircraft representative and maintenance provider for Southern Africa.
Strengthening the South African ROTAX Community
The appointment of PMF as a ROTAX Approved Repair Centre is welcome news for the growing community of ROTAX-powered aircraft owners in South Africa. Increased access to approved maintenance services helps improve aircraft availability, reduce downtime and ensure that owners have local access to reliable technical expertise.
For flight schools, private owners, recreational pilots and commercial operators alike, this approval represents an important step in expanding support infrastructure for one of the world’s most widely used aircraft engine brands.
