The placement of engines under wings is a defining feature of modern commercial and cargo aircraft. This configuration shapes the way planes are built and operated, impacting a wide range of factors from aerodynamics to fuel usage. In this blog, we will delve into the benefits of mounting airplane engines under wings, followed by a closer look at the specific challenges involved.

Choosing the correct spark plug for your aircraft is a critical task that affects performance, safety, and maintenance. Although they are small components, spark plugs play a significant role in the overall functionality of an aircraft's engine. This buyer's guide will help you understand the key factors to consider when selecting spark plugs, ensuring you make an informed decision.

In recent years, the aviation industry has undergone a remarkable transformation, moving towards a future where the skies are filled with electric-powered aircraft. This shift is driven by the relentless pursuit of sustainability, efficiency, and reduced environmental impact. At the forefront of this revolution are two key players, the electric motor and the lithium battery, those of which we will discuss in more detail throughout this blog.

Aircraft control systems are an important aspect of modern aviation engineering, allowing pilots to navigate and maneuver through the skies with precision and grace. At the heart of these systems are control cables, indispensable parts that transmit the pilot's commands to the various control surfaces of the aircraft. In this beginner's guide, we will explore the world of control cables, their vital role in aviation, and the importance of control cable inspection.

Given the necessity of air transport for both private and commercial interests, it is incumbent on aircraft manufacturers to create vessels with the capacity to operate in a wide range of environments. Although winter conditions can vary drastically depending on the locale's latitude and geographic landscape, most can be characterized by snow, ice, and frigid temperatures. These obstacles may impede safe operations if the necessary precautions are not taken ahead of time. In addition to routine maintenance, further intervention is often suggested in the context of winter operations. In this blog, we will explore some practical guidelines for getting an aircraft winter-ready.

In the intricate realm of aviation, the propeller system plays a vital role in ensuring optimal performance and efficiency for various aircraft. Central to this system is the propeller governor, a device responsible for controlling the propeller blades' speed and pitch. To gain a deeper understanding of this crucial component, continue reading as we delve into its function, shedding light on its operation and significance in maintaining safe and efficient flight.

When operating an aircraft privately or commercially, it is essential that you are aware of all the potential factors that may alter the safety and efficiency of planes and their assemblies. For example, winter weather can very much change how aircraft are operated, maintained, and even stored based on how conditions are. While one does not need to fully stow away their aircraft until the spring, it is important that pilots are aware of the steps that may be taken to guarantee safe and comfortable flights even in harsh conditions.

When discussing VOR approach operations within the aviation industry, one is referring to a non-precision approach where landing is achieved through lateral guidance alone. VOR aids, or Very High Frequency Omni-Directional Range aids, are ground-based systems that offer azimuth data on both high and low altitude routes and airport approaches to assist pilots in navigation. To utilize such navigation aids, an aircraft must have a suitable receiving unit so that a position and course can be maintained during an approach. In this blog, we will discuss the concept of VOR in more detail, allowing you to have a better understanding of what it is and how pilots rely on it.

When operating an aircraft, it is important that the pilot has constant awareness over flight conditions, including things such as remaining fuel, how fast the aircraft is moving, which direction it is moving, etc. With these various readings and data points, a pilot can ensure that an effective and safe flight is carried out or that a safe landing can be executed, if ever required. Many readings provided to the pilot are generated through instruments located in the cockpit, and each instrument has its own distinct role. In this blog, we will discuss the altimeter in particular, that of which is a flight instrument that allows a pilot to know how high the aircraft is above sea level.
