Our AMO offers a wealth of experience, knowledge & skill

Sling's AMO strives to exceed customer expectations

Established in 2013, Sling’s AMO 1264 is situated in the south of Johannesburg at Tedderfield Airpark (FATA -26.350970, 27.968174). With a celebrated history in the South African aviation industry, we have built a reputation as a strong industry player. As a South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA) approved organisation, our AMO offers a wealth of experience, knowledge and skill and our aircraft maintenance technicians are some of the finest in the industry and are Rotax approved in accordance with iRMT (independent Rotax Maintenance Technician).

As an ever-growing organisation, however, the Sling is not the only range of aircraft we maintain. As we continue to make our mark in the history of aviation, we have added new challenges to our operating specifications and now maintain a broader variety of aircraft, including the ever-popular Vans RV range as well as Magni Gyro, composite aircraft and metal airframes. In addition, we specialise in Lycoming engines and all associated propellers, as well as compass swings, pitot static, transponder testing and ATF applications.

In terms of research and development, our AMO works alongside the R&D department at our premises. In the event that design modifications are required, the aircraft maintenance technicians are often the best guys to assist. Together, the AMO makes every effort to ensure maintenance is made as easy as possible for every one of our Sling aircraft owners. Sling’s AMO is intensely focused on customer satisfaction and strives to exceed customer expectations whilst providing expert advice and setting the benchmark for safety, efficiency, affordability and reliability.

This Is Africa: Part 2

The adventure continues! For once, there are no border crossings to navigate, no custom stops, and no major travel plans on the schedule. Just a quiet day at home. Naturally, that doesn’t last long… When Sling Chief Test Pilot, Riaan Denner, has an idea, you know things are about to get interesting. In this episode, Josh and Chelsea take to the skies over Johannesburg for some banner towing, go behind the scenes at the incredible Jonker Sailplanes factory, make a completely unplanned stop to meet a very special young zebra, and then set off on the next major leg of the journey — heading south towards Plettenberg Bay and Cape Town.
