Title:
Practical Maintenance for Pilots
Topic:
Recognize and Fix Your Maintenance Problems Before They Become a Safety Issue
Speaker(s):
Ernesto Mosquera
Brief Description:
Many aircraft maintenance issues present warning signs before developing into serious mechanical failures. This safety seminar will focus on identifying common discrepancies involving engines, electrical systems, brakes, tires, and flight controls during preflight inspections. Using real-world fleet examples, participants will examine overlooked warning signs and appropriate corrective actions. Topics include documenting maintenance discrepancies (squawks), reviewing aircraft maintenance records, and making informed go/no-go decisions. The seminar emphasizes proactive maintenance awareness, effective preflight inspections, and sound aeronautical decision-making to enhance aviation safety.
Open to pilots of all experience levels, student pilots, flight instructors, aircraft owners, maintenance professionals, and aviation enthusiasts.
