How to Make Your Airplane Last Forever

New aircraft have become expensive and somewhat scarce, creating a demand for up-to-date information on ways to keep used airplanes flying longer. This manual provides plenty of innovative ideas for increasing airplane longevity by using the most recent techniques available in an environment in which technology and regulations are ever-changing. The authors focus on increasing the life of aircraft through preventive maintenance and sound operating procedures. The benefits of such a regimen are twofold. First, by establishing routine maintenance checks, airplane owners can save money on emergency repairs. Second, by becoming more familiar with how their planes operate, they can also become safer pilots. Individual chapters cover FAA regulations regarding maintenance and repairs, cleaning and storage, troubleshooting aircraft systems, operating tips for extending life, do-it-yourself maintenance, the annual 100-hour inspection, and more.
