The Essential Investment for Elevated Aircraft Operation and Situational Awareness: Avoiding Incidents and Enhancing Safety. We firmly believe that certain essential equipment can significantly improve aircraft operation and situational awareness. Every aircraft should be equipped with engine monitor units (EMUs) and GPS-coupled fuel totalisers. Additionally, when necessary for lean-of-peak (LOP) operation, tuned fuel injectors are […]

It’s Not Rocket Science: How to Achieve Your Aircraft Engine’s Time-Between Overhaul and Beyond. Many aircraft engines don’t achieve their stated time-between overhaul (TBO), necessitating premature teardowns—often well before the published benchmarks. TBO represents the manufacturer’s recommended number of running hours or the calendar duration before an aircraft engine or another component necessitates an overhaul.

The Misconception Around Over-Square Operation. Most pilots, even instructors, often fall prey to a widely spread myth about over-square operation. They’re mistakenly convinced that the manifold pressure in InHg should never exceed the RPM divided by 100. Many have heard cautionary tales of engines blowing up due to over-square operations. Consequently, we’ve been trained in

Unlocking Efficiency, Reliability, and Longevity with Key Investments. If you’re seeking to improve your aircraft’s performance and extend its lifespan, making wise investments in specific aircraft engine equipment can have a substantial impact. This blog post sheds light on three integral components: Engine Monitor Units, GAMIjector® fuel injectors, and a GPS-coupled Fuel Totaliser. Why Investing

Where Your Flight Instructor and Fellow Pilots Got it Wrong. With a decade of flying under my belt, it took nearly eight years to uncover a shocking revelation. The instructions I had absorbed from manuals, my flight instructor, and other pilots about leaning my aircraft engine were fundamentally flawed. Not intentionally misleading, but nonetheless wrong.

Implement These In-Flight Test Procedures to Ensure Your Aircraft Engine is in Top Shape. In-flight test procedures are an excellent way to verify if your aircraft engine is functioning optimally. The best test results are typically achieved when you use an engine monitor unit set to the highest sample rate possible. While it’s possible to

Understanding the Importance of Engine Condition Monitoring. We will explore the importance of an engine condition monitoring system for your aircraft. We’ll discuss why it’s a fundamental aspect of proactive and responsible aircraft ownership and guide you through the implementation process. From selecting a reliable maintenance shop to understanding the different components of the system

Aircraft Maintenance is a Business Transaction – Treat it Like One. Owning an aircraft involves significant responsibility, with aircraft maintenance taking centre stage. Aircraft maintenance should be treated as a crucial business transaction. In the same way you would scrutinise the work of a home contractor or a landscaper, your aircraft deserves no less attention.
