Aviation Painting FAQs
What FAA regulations apply to tower painting?
FAA regulations require structures over 200 feet tall (or shorter structures near airports) to be painted with alternating bands of aviation orange and white. The specific pattern, width of bands, and color specifications are detailed in FAA Advisory Circular AC 70/7460-1. Our team is fully trained in these requirements and ensures complete compliance.
How often should aviation structures be repainted?
Most aviation structures require repainting every 5-7 years, depending on environmental conditions and coating quality. Structures in coastal areas or harsh climates may need more frequent maintenance. We provide detailed maintenance schedules and can set up recurring inspection programs to ensure continuous FAA compliance.
Do you coordinate with the FAA directly?
Yes, we handle all necessary FAA coordination including NOTAM (Notice to Airmen) filing when painting work may affect aviation operations. We work closely with airport operations, air traffic control, and FAA officials to ensure all safety protocols are followed and proper notifications are made.
What safety certifications do your crews have?
Our aviation painting crews hold multiple certifications including FAA-approved tower climbing certification, fall protection training, aviation safety awareness, and specialized equipment operation. All crew members undergo background checks for work at secure aviation facilities and military installations.
Can you work on active airport property?
Yes, we regularly work on active airport property and understand the unique safety requirements. We coordinate with airport operations to schedule work during low-traffic periods, maintain constant communication with air traffic control when necessary, and follow all airport security protocols including badging and escort requirements.
What types of coatings do you use for aviation structures?
We use aviation-grade high-visibility coatings specifically formulated for tall structures. These include high-gloss acrylics, polyurethane systems, and fluoropolymer coatings that provide excellent color retention, UV resistance, and durability. All coatings meet FAA specifications for aviation orange and white colors.
