Manage your aircraft maintenance https://coflyt.com/mojogrip

One of the most important aspect of owning your own aircraft is maintenance. As a pilot and aircraft owner, you have to stay on top of the airworthiness status of your plane. For different airplanes, there are different things that needs to be maintained and kept up to date, but for the most part, you have a standard checklist for the airplane annual and or 100 hours inspection.

First and foremost is your engine. And today in this video we are referencing the Rotax 912 engine. Most piston engines including the Rotax 912 have a overhaul of 2000 - 2500 hours. You change the oil in the Rotax every 25-50 hours depending on the grade of fuel you’re using.

Great thing about Rotax engines is that you can use Mogas (car gas) to run them, and you’ll save money not only on fuel cost but also on your oil change. It just so happens that car gas leaves less led deposits which means you can run the oil for up to 50 hours before changing your oil and filter. If you’re using 100 LL which is the standard fuel for most piston engine aircraft, then you change the oil every 25 hours.

More maintenance checks need to be done. Watch the video for full details.
