Why It Matters
More Than Just a Clean Set of Wheels
Landing gear washing is one of the most overlooked — and most critical — parts of aircraft maintenance. Here's why it deserves real attention.
Brake Dust & Grime Buildup
Your landing gear takes more abuse than any other part of your aircraft. Brake dust, runway rubber, hydraulic fluid residue, and environmental grime accumulate with every landing and taxi. Left unaddressed, this buildup can mask corrosion, wear indicators, and inspection points.
Critical for Inspections
Clean landing gear isn't just cosmetic — it's a safety requirement. Proper inspection requires a clean surface to identify cracks, leaks, wear patterns, and corrosion. Our thorough wash ensures your A&P or inspection team can see what they need to see.
Corrosion Prevention
Runway de-icing chemicals, coastal salt air, and hydraulic fluids are corrosive. Florida's humid environment accelerates the process. Regular landing gear washing removes these contaminants before they can cause damage.
Resale & Presentation Value
A spotless gear bay and gleaming wheels make an impression on potential buyers, charter clients, and passengers. It communicates meticulous ownership and professional maintenance standards.
Our Process
Landing Gear Wash: Step by Step
Serving aircraft owners at OPF, FXE, BCT, PBI, and across South Florida — here's our proven landing gear wash procedure.
Pre-Wash Inspection
Before any water or product touches your aircraft, we perform a detailed inspection of the landing gear assembly — wheels, tires, brakes, struts, actuators, hydraulic lines, and gear doors. We document existing conditions and identify any areas requiring special attention.
AMM Protective Covers
Following your aircraft's AMM specifications, we apply protective covers to all sensitive components — brake assemblies, static ports, sensors, and electrical connections. Nothing gets wet that shouldn't.
Specialized Degreasing
Using aviation-approved degreasers and cleaners, we break down heavy brake dust deposits, hydraulic fluid residue, and runway grime. Each surface gets the appropriate chemical — no one-size-fits-all approach.
Hand Wash & Detail
Every component is cleaned by hand with microfiber towels and soft brushes. We work methodically through the gear bay, wheel assemblies, struts, and doors — ensuring no area is missed and no surface is damaged by aggressive techniques.
Corrosion Inspection & Treatment
Once clean, we inspect for early signs of corrosion — particularly important for aircraft operating in Florida's humid, coastal environment. Minor surface corrosion is treated per AMM guidelines. Any significant findings are documented and flagged for your maintenance team.
Final Inspection & Documentation
We remove all protective covers, perform a final quality check, and provide before-and-after photos. You'll have complete documentation of the work performed — valuable for maintenance records, lease returns, and pre-purchase inspections.
