A
n aircraft needs attention when the temperature takes a dive and Old Man Winter
hurls snow, wind and ice at you. But top-notch aircraft mechanics know that pre-
ventative maintenance is hard during knee-knocking cold weather.
When winter starts putting its grip on you, move your aircraft
inside to perform maintenance. If you can’t move inside and
you’re faced with some extended time outside, use a maintenance
shelter or rig a temporary shelter out of canvas or a salvaged cargo
parachute canopy. Warm your
shelter with a ground heater.
A warm and ventilated work
area will let you get the PM
done without the nuisance of
bulky clothing and heavy gloves.
If you can’t rig a shelter, dress
for the cold. Work in short bursts
and take breaks to warm up.
