Aircraft repairs

Whats the deal with getting my aircraft repaired? I assume it still does get repaired when I land on the runway or helipad but I just can't tell I being repaired.
1. How long should I be waiting for?,
2. Is there a certain part of the runway I need to be on?
3. Can I hover over a helipad or need to land completely?

on al basrah the repair location for the A-10s is next to the hangars down the runway, you will see the wrench icon on your screen above the ammo icon when it is repairing and it will disappear when it is gone, the helicopter repair pad is in the north west corner of the airfield, infront of the cargo jet, you can hover above that.. just watch out for insurgent suicide cars because even though they lose health they can still make it all the way to the back corner and blow themselves up.. :-/

On most maps the entire Runway will repair/rearm

On Basrah the runway next to western row of hangars will repair and the entire area will rearm. If you have a great commander, he might be operating the Support HMMVW and drive up to ya, but usually not.

I have noticed around half the time i am reloading/repairing my helo, for example, it does not show the wrench or ammo icons, nor does it make the noise usually associated with such. it still rearms and repairs, i just am not 100% sure when it is done repairing when it is being buggy.

I've had this issue as well, we'd be sitting there but it wouldn't make the sound, indicating if it was reloading or not.

So there is supposed to be the repair sound? I've flown a few time since 0.5 and never heard the repair or rearm sound or seen any icon.

There should be, when I've been in a BH getting repaired and re-armed the repairing/reloading sound would play but when I've been in the cobra sometimes you here the sounds and sometimes you dont.

This allways happends to me, you can solve it by exiting the aircraft and entering it again
