Our edge

AeroCare’s repair and inspection procedures adhere strictly to UK Civil Aviation Authority regulations—PART-107 for remotely piloted aircraft and BCAR Section “S” for microlight aeroplanes. Each maintenance task is documented in a step-by-step Work Instruction (WI) that references the relevant CAA Airworthiness Notice or CAP publication. Pre- and post-maintenance checklists ensure no step is missed: structural integrity, control-surface rigging, engine/motor bench tests, avionics calibration, and flight-control software validation. Our digital log-book templates automatically record compliance data—component serials, torque settings, calibration certificates—so you pass audits without stress.

With five AeroCare depots located near major UK airports—Heathrow, Manchester, Glasgow, Belfast, Exeter—we guarantee most standard drone and microlight repairs within 48 hours of receipt. Depots stock common spares—brushless motors, ESCs, flight controllers, propellers, pneumatic seals—enabling immediate replacement. For urgent needs, our AeroExpress service expedites diagnostics, parts installation, and flight-testing, with real-time tracking via our portal. Our FieldTech mobile teams provide on-site inspections and minor repairs anywhere in the UK, from remote Welsh valleys to offshore platforms, minimising downtime for critical operations.

Performance optimisation demands precise calibration of flight-control firmware, IMU sensors, and engine management units. AeroCare’s specialists adjust PID loops, compass-motor interference settings, and gimbal stabilization parameters using manufacturer SDKs and proprietary tuning algorithms. We perform vibration analysis with high-precision accelerometers and balance propeller assemblies to <0.02 g residual vibration. Calibration extends to barometric altimeters, pitot-static systems on microlights, and LiDAR/photogrammetry payload alignment on drones. Post-tuning flight trials and data-log reviews verify improvements in stability, flight time, and mapping accuracy.

We stock and install only genuine OEM components or vetted high-performance aftermarket alternatives tested to equal or exceed manufacturer standards. Our inventory includes DJI drivetrain modules, Autel propeller sets, Rotax engine spares, and certified avionics from Garmin and Dynon. Each part is traceable via batch numbers and accompanied by a 12-month warranty. Our procurement team negotiates volume discounts to keep costs competitive, and our secure warehouse management system ensures parts authenticity and rapid dispatch. This commitment to quality parts underpins the reliability and safety of every repair.

AeroCare’s cloud-based Fleet Analytics Dashboard aggregates operational data—flight hours, motor temperature logs, battery cycle counts, vibration spectra—across your entire UAV or microlight inventory. Machine-learning models detect emerging failure patterns, forecast component wear, and recommend maintenance before in-flight issues occur. Customisable alert thresholds notify you when a motor’s vibration exceeds safe limits or an airframe’s flight cycles approach overhaul intervals. By shifting from reactive to predictive maintenance, operators reduce unscheduled downtime by up to 60% and extend asset lifespans by 25%.

We offer CAA-approved training courses for drone pilots (GVC) and microlight maintenance engineers (EASA Part-66 LAME). Our curriculum covers air law, human factors, aircraft technical knowledge, and practical workshops. Graduates receive nationally recognised certificates and ongoing professional development credits. AeroCare’s 24/7 technical support hotline—staffed by licensed engineers—provides immediate assistance for in-field troubleshooting. Subscribers also gain access to our knowledge base of repair bulletins, service-letter archives, and monthly regulatory update webinars.
