Aviation is a large industry that started only a short time ago on the beaches of North Carolina. Since then, new and astonishing advancements have been made in a very short period of time. In just over a century, human flight has gone from impossible fantasy to a ubiquitous part of modern life. However, while…
A small group of flight line mechanics who work at the Boeing Dreamliner plant in North Charleston, South Carolina have recently voted to join the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers. Roughly 131,500 aircraft service technicians and mechanics held jobs in the U.S. in 2017, many of whom work for Boeing. Even though the…
Personal flying can be an enjoyable hobby, there were roughly 224,475 active general aircraft in the U.S. in 2011 alone. With the latest electronic flight-aids and navigation system, it can be compelling to use aviation apps for personal flight use. While these applications can be extremely effective and widely usable, they offer more than what…
When it comes to airworthiness, there is a distinct connection to flight safety, although it can be somewhat complicated. When a defect is present in the aircraft, it significantly affects airworthiness and can cause the craft to fail to meet the required conditions for safe operation. If left uncorrected defects can cause major accidents. Sometimes,…
Vibration in aircraft can cause significant damage. Depending on the severity of the vibration, finding its source and correcting it should be of the utmost importance of both pilots and mechanics. In most situations, an imbalanced propeller is the reason for vibration and can be quickly resolved with a dynamic propeller balance. When the propeller…
Your aircraft propeller is essential to the function of the entire aircraft, and proper maintenance will ensure it remains as such. Part of that maintenance is dynamic propeller balancing. A dynamic propeller balance will not only increase your plane’s performance and reduce vibrations, but it will add to your engine’s longevity. There are, however, common…
