Instrument & Transponder Calibration
Did you know that pitot-static instruments and transponders must be calibrated every 24 months?
Don't get caught out with non-compliant instruments!
Avoiding Undercarriage Failure
Undercarriage failure is a commonly reported occurrence for RAAus aircraft and may result in significant damage to
your aircraft. Thorough maintenance inspections, completion of hard landing inspections, and proactive preventative
maintenance tasks may assist in avoiding serious aircraft damage before it occurs!
Defect Reporting - Do you know your requirements?
Do you know your reporting requirements as a Maintainer? Reporting is a mandatory requirement in the
event of identification of a defect during maintenance and assists in improving the safety for
everyone!
How Healthy Is Your Engine?
During routine maintenance do you check engine compressions?
Do you cut open your fuel filter to inspect for particles?
Do you track oil and fuel consumption?
These factors may show warning signs before a failure occurs. A piston engine condition report
should be completed during routine maintenance to aid engine health and trend monitoring.
