When it comes to owning and operating an aircraft, safety and reliability are non-negotiable—and preventative maintenance is one of the best ways to ensure both. At AirWerks, we help aircraft owners stay ahead of costly repairs and avoid unexpected downtime by focusing on the basics that make a big impact: oil changes, tire care, and proper lubrication.

Oil Changes: More Than a Routine

Think of engine oil as your airplane’s life blood. Over time, oil breaks down and collects contaminants that can harm internal components. Changing your oil regularly—typically every 25 to 50 hours or every 4 to 6 months—reduces engine wear, improves performance, and provides early insight into engine health (thanks to oil filter inspections and lab analysis of used oil). At AirWerks, we don’t just change the oil—we take the opportunity to inspect the whole system and catch issues before they escalate.

Tire Care: Your First Contact with the Runway

Aircraft tires take a beating—especially on rough surfaces, crosswind landings, or in flight training environments. Regularly checking tire condition, pressure, and wear is essential for safe takeoffs and landings. Preventative tire care also includes brake checks and wheel inspections, helping to avoid blowouts, uneven wear, and landing gear stress. If your tires are low or showing signs of aging, we can help you get the right replacements, properly installed and balanced.

Lubrication: The Unsung Hero of Smooth Flight

From control surfaces to landing gear and hinges, proper lubrication keeps your aircraft functioning smoothly and safely. Skipping it can lead to stiff or binding controls, premature wear, and even corrosion in hidden places. At AirWerks, we use the right lubricants in the right places—and we take the time to inspect each area while we’re there. It’s a small step that pays off big in reliability and flight feel.

Stay Ahead of the Curve with AirWerks

Preventative maintenance doesn’t have to be complicated—but it does have to be consistent. At AirWerks, we offer routine service packages tailored to how you fly, helping you extend your aircraft’s life, reduce repair costs, and stay flight-ready year-round.
