The Importance of Aircraft Maintenance and Service

All aircraft, big and small, must be serviced regularly, according to the specifications provided by the manufacturer. But there are different types of service and maintenance checks, and also different ways that service is scheduled.

Additionally, all planes should be regularly inspected before each flight.

While individual manufacturer requirements do differ, planes generally need an annual inspection to check the condition of the plane, as well as service maintenance after a specified number of flying hours.

It should be obvious, but the more you fly your plane, the more frequently you will need to have it serviced. This is why manufacturers commonly specify flight hours rather than timeframes for service and maintenance checks. So, for instance, an annual condition check carried out to ensure that the plane conforms to the airworthiness “type” certificate issued when it was originally inspected after manufacture might be required more frequently (perhaps every 100 hours) if the plane is used often, or for commercial purposes. For this check, all access plates are normally removed, and everything that can possibly be checked, is checked, including retractable landing gear and related mechanisms, as well as engine compression.

More frequent maintenance service checks would include checking of critical bolts including those that connect the propeller to the engine, as well as replacement of engine oil. Oil changes could be required as frequently as every 25 hours flying time.

Aircraft tires, like those used for automobiles, must be replaced when the rubber tread begins to wear. Generally this will be determined by the friction caused between the tires and airfield surface, which in turn will be directly affected by the number of landings made in the plane.

Aviation Oil - Phillips vs Aeroshell

In recent years there have been many debates as to which brand of aviation oil is the best.

So are you pro Phillips or pro Aeroshell?

Here's what you need to know!

There are many factors to consider when selecting the proper oil, including operating environment, outside temperature, engine/cylinder type, and how frequently the aircraft is flown.

When selecting oil, the first thing to consider is viscosity. Simply put, "viscosity" is the measure of a fluid's resistance to flow. Most air-cooled aircraft engines are designed for SAE 50-weight oil at operating temperature.

In fairly stable, warm environments, like The Bahamas, a straight-weight oil such as Aeroshell 100, W100 or Phillips 100AW is a good option because these oils all perform to the SAE 50 spec.

With all that said, it boils down personal preference, as they both perform to the exact same spec.

But no worries you don't have to sacrifice your favorite brand to source oil locally, as we a fully stocked with Phillips Victory 100AW and Aeroshell 100Plus.

Happy Shopping!
