f you want your aircraft to operate better and go longer between maintenance
downtime, get in the habit of doing regular preventive maintenance. A habit
like that means the difference between breakdowns with costly repairs and
equipment readiness.
Make PM a habit by doing
all
daily checklist aircraft inspections everyday.
And get in the habit of using common sense during PM, too.
For instance, when you’re doing pre-flight checks, if your aircraft sounds
funny or the lights don’t come on, check it out right then and there. Don’t wait
‘til later. If you smell fuel or feel something unusual, find out what it is. If
anything seems out of place, don’t ignore it.
If you find a problem that requires AVIM repair, get them involved so they
can fix the problem.
Habitual PM will help you spot problems early. Being your own PM
inspector will spot even more.
Make no-nonsense, common sense PM a regular habit, sort of second
nature. It’ll lead to functional, mission-ready equipment.
