JMGC was first created by maintaining motor gliders that no one else could maintain.
The first motor glider in Japan, the Sportavia RF4D required a new type airworthiness inspection which was new to Japan at the time. There were a lot of challenges getting the Japanese authority to accept the new type however through a lot of effort a motor glider category was created. Out maintenance work shop receives aircraft from all over Japan for repair and maintenance. We have a team of active staff that are experienced with gliders, motor gliders and airplanes of various models and years. Our maintenance department is divided into a glider department and an airplane department. There are four qualified mechanics for airplanes and five qualified mechanics for gliders, and there are two airworthiness inspectors for gliders certified by JCAB.
Glider Maintenance
Our workshop specializes in large maintenance work such as repair work and 3000 hour inspection on gliders, which many years ago would only be repaired by sending the glider back to Germany. When we first started glider repairs we did not think we would have enough work, however over time we have built a large clientele and increased the type of repairs we can undertake. We have employed a specialist glider FRP expert and undertake airworthiness inspections on Gliders and motor gliders.
Airplane Maintenance
Initially, we conducted airworthiness inspections on glider tow planes at each gliding field, but gradually we began to undertake airworthiness inspections, repairs, and modifications of private aircraft of various types. We carry out maintenance work on cloth covered airplanes that no one else can maintain in Japan, as well as tail wheel aircraft. We have also imported first model type aircraft into Japan and obtained airworthiness certification, such as the “Robin DR400” and the “Maule M7-235C”.
We have conducted the first airworthiness inspection of the “Gyroflug SC01B-160 “Speed Canard”, which is a well-known canard wing.
For the first time in Japan, the “Piper Super Cub”, which was originally a tail wheel type airplane, was also converted into an amphibious aircraft.
