SPECTO Aerospace

SPECTO Aerospace is a company in Lelystad, the Netherlands, that repairs composite and sheet metal aircraft components. The website says it specializes in radomes, nacelles and flight controls.

The Lelystad site is EASA, FAA and UK CAA Part 145 approved to perform certified composite repairs. It can release repairs with an EASA and FAA dual release form, and with a separate UK CAA form.

The repair scope is not limited to one aircraft type. It covers fixed wing aircraft and helicopters for civil and military operators, MROs, and parts brokers in the space and aerospace industry. The company also serves OEMs.

The company supports line and base maintenance, including maintenance, repair and overhaul of primary and secondary structures. It offers shop repairs, on site and on wing repairs, painting, and field repair teams.

The paint shop covers about 375 square metres and has two 10 metre paint booths. It paints parts such as an Airbus A320 rudder, an Embraer 190 fairing, a Cessna Citation radome, landing lights and housings. It works with anti static, anti erosion, fluor elastomer and metallic effect paints, and applies rain erosion boots and aircraft safety markings.

The capability list covers ATA chapters from air conditioning and communications to flight controls, fuel, rotors, landing gear, engines, windows and structures. The company says it can provide the list per part number on request. Its work is approved under CAA-NL oversight.

SPECTO has an AOG line for aircraft that are grounded and need urgent support.
