AbleAir Announcements

Happy Holidays from all of us at Able Air!
May you keep the clean side up, the dirty side down, and the pointy part forward.
Make sure to check your fuel tanks for water after every fueling all year round but especially during the rainy season.

Double check your Aircraft Registrations to see if they are due for Renewal. See "Special Announcement" on our website. Click on Aircraft Re-Registrtation link for more detailed information.

FYI we had a clients whose Aircraft was grounded for one and a half months for failure to comply with FAA re-registration guidelines.

Winter is coming and cabin heat use will start. Having your cabin C0 detector checked is a good choice as well as checking the heat exchange.

Hot Summer Sun fades fuel tank Placards. Each tank must have TANK CAPACITY & MINIMUM OCTANE displayed by the fuel cap. Also check fuel cap seals prior to Winter rains.

Don't scrimp on your pre-flight! As we get more and more used to the planes we fly, we may get lazy about the preflight inspection. Remember the way you did it as a student? With the Instructor watching? Perform them like that and you'll do just fine.

- Safe Flying -

Have you tested your ELT lately? You can test your 121.5 MHz ELTs only during the first five (5) minutes after any hour and you may only activate the ELT for three audible sweeps. If operational tests must be made outside of this period, they should be coordinated with the nearest FAA Control Tower or FSS.

Remember, you can NEVER test your 406 MHz ELT in this manner.

- Blue Skies! -

As of October 1st, aircraft registrations will begin to expire, and you need to re-register your aircraft! Click here for more information

Winter winds are coming, check gust locks, wheel chocks and tie downs - You'll sleep better in the wind.

Happy Holidays from Us.

Fall / Winter winds are coming, check control locks & chains.

Is your PITOT tube covered?

Get ready for colder, windy weather. A little prep will save you $$$ and downtime.

We suggest Cee Bailey See Shades for Summertime Protection of your Aircraft Interior. www.ceebaileys.com

Winter is here. Rainy weather is certainly in our future. Make sure to check those fuel caps & seals.

Summer is here and we are outside more and more these days. But do you notice that as we age we get a little more creaky in the joints? Softball requires a little more Tylenol and hiking a little more Ben Gay in the old frame? Imagine how it is with our aging aircraft. A little proactive maintenance will save BIG bucks in the future! Have you thought of treating the corrosion in YOUR airframe? We are a CORROSION X center.

Summer is here! Blue and bright clear skies! Great for flying, but it can be tough on the ground. Protect the cabin of your aircraft. Summertime is a good time to install Cee Bailey's Sunshields. See us for details.

This is the season for Bug Blocked PITOT tubes. We suggest PITOT covers to stop a "No Airspeed" takeoff.

Confused about the new Emergency Locator Transmitter requirements? Talk to us about the new 406mhz ELT requirements.

Spring is coming! Dust off that plane and those skills. If you have not flown in awhile, do a VERY careful pre-flight. Be sure you do not have unauthorized passengers, like birds nesting and insects building a home in your pitot tube. Have an instructor look at you, and have us look at your plane.

Winter is here! Wet weather is here in Southern California, and that means you need to check the seals on your gas tank caps. Be sure to include a sump check with EVERY preflight.

Oops! Please note the correct phone number on the main page. Spring is here! Check the dates for your annual. Maybe a good time to think about corrosion protection. Call us for more information.

Remember we are in the rainy season here in SoCal! Be sure to check your sumps thoroughly during preflight. Because of high humidity, this goes for planes that are in hangers as well as tied-down. Drain a little Extra fuel to be really sure. A loss of power on take-off can ruin your whole day.

Happy New Year to all from Able Air Corporation. May you have a happy and prosperous new year.
