Frequently Asked Questions About Aircraft Maintenance
How often do airplanes get maintenance?
Aircraft maintenance requirements will depend on the type of airplane, how old it is, how many hours it has flown, and the number of takeoffs. Generally speaking, the FAA requires preventative maintenance after every 25 hours flown and minor maintenance after every 100 hours flown.
What maintenance can a pilot do on their airplane?
Pilots who are certified under 14 CFR Part 61 can do certain types of preventative maintenance on an airplane they own or operate. Private pilots, sport pilots, and pilots of higher certification typically fall under this category. Types of preventative maintenance these pilots may perform include repairing landing gear tires, cleaning and greasing wheel bearings, replacing safety belts, cleaning spark plugs, replenishing hydraulic fluid, replacing service batteries, and more.
How much does annual maintenance on an airplane cost?
Maintenance is one of the most important aspects of owning an aircraft and ensuring it operates safely; however, it is also usually one of the most significant costs due to the annual maintenance needed every year. The yearly maintenance cost for your airplane will vary based on a few key factors, including the type of aircraft, hours flown over the course of the year, and the maintenance services required.
