When you own an aircraft, you expect things to go smoothly. However numerous things can go wrong with your aircraft while you are expecting everything to go smooth and perfect.
If you want to protect your aircraft from facing disasters during a flight or even when it is on the ground, you need to take care of the following factors and avoid them at all cost.
Inexperienced Technicians
There is nothing more damaging for your aircraft than an inexperienced aviation welding technician. If you hand over your expensive aircraft to a novice, the results you will receive are not likely to be anywhere near desirable.
Inexperience and lack of professionalism will result in an inaccurate assessment of the faults and defects with your aircraft, which will only further stop the technicians from solving the problem efficiently. Flying an aircraft with only half-fixed defects makes it vulnerable to disaster.
Novice technicians should always work with an experienced aircraft technician. With experience technicians develop an eye for detecting issues with the system. A technician who is not very well trained and experienced will have trouble doing this.
Cheap Or Used Spare Parts
Another severe mistake most aircraft owners commit is using substandard or used spare parts. Saving a few bucks here and there by settling for substandard equipment and parts can lead to fatal accidents.
It may sound like a better option to save some money on used and low-quality parts, but it will cost you more in the long run. One faulty component can trigger more problems in the machine. This is another big problem with using refurbished parts to keep an aircraft running. The lifespan of the low-quality spare parts is less than the best quality parts available in the market. Resultantly, you will need to replace the cheaper parts more often than the new better quality ones.
Low-quality Fuel Used
Impure fuel is another significant element that can deteriorate the performance of your aircraft and cause damage to its engine. Using low-quality fuel slowly and gradually reduces the lifespan of the engine, fuel pump, and other components of your aircraft. Not to mention the immediate effect that will make your aircraft consume more fuel than before.
The results of using bad fuel can even be disastrous during flight. Purchasing poor fuel wastes your money as you pay full price for it and get nothing but fuel that damages the various parts of your aircraft's engine.
The increased fuel consumption and deteriorating performance of the aircraft increase the financial stress put on you. To remain in the safe zone and ensure avoiding financial losses, you need to use high-quality recommended fuel. Consult your aviation maintenance experts to advise you on which type of fuel is the best for your specific aircraft.
