Aircraft Ownership and Maintenance

Aircraft Ownership and Maintenance

Whether you own your aircraft or rent from a local FBO, understanding what makes the aircraft tick is something every pilot should appreciate. Just like the effect of aging is different for people, the same is true for aircraft—their true age may belie what the factory age would have you think. This Safety Center covers preventive maintenance, recognizing aircraft aging, and understanding and mitigating associated risks.
