This means changing the oil, checking tire pressure, examining fuel lines, testing your battery and electrical components and inspecting any gauges for accuracy. Thorough check-ups can help maintain the life of your aircraft and can help prevent future safety hazards as you enter the spring season.<\/p>\n<h2>Damage Inspection<\/h2>\n<p>Depending on your climate, winter can have unforeseen effects on your plane. Be sure to check for cracks in your seals, gaskets, wings and landing gear that could have been caused by cold temperatures or ice. If you notice something, notify a professional before your first scheduled flight.<\/p>\n<p>Have a wonderful spring and summer!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spring is upon us, and that means it\u2019s time to take to the skies!
