What does ADR mean in AIR FORCE

Aircraft Damage Repair (ADR) is a process of restoring an aircraft to its original condition after it has been damaged. This process involves assessing the damage done, scheduling the repair and completing the repairs in order to make sure that the aircraft can safely return to operations.

Aircraft Damage Repair services cover all types of structural damage including corrosion, lightning strikes, wear and tear, engine failure, as well as cosmetic damage such as painting and interior refurbishment.

The materials used for Aircraft Damage Repair depend on the type of damage being repaired and the size of the aircraft involved. Commonly used materials are aluminum sheets, rivets and fasteners, composite materials such as carbon fiber or aramid fibers, adhesives, paints and primers.

The length of time required to complete an Aircraft Damage Repair task depends on several factors including the size of the aircraft involved, the complexity of the repairs required and any special requirements from regulatory authorities. On average an ADR task can take anywhere between two weeks to several months depending on these factors.

The cost of an Aircraft Damage Repair will vary depending on several factors such as severity of damage sustained by the aircraft and material costs associated with repairing it. In addition other costs may include labor charges depending on how complex or intricate the repair job is.
