Aero-TV: Avionics Tip of the Week - Utilizing An Avionics System Annual

Bill Thompson Explains the Avionics Information Owners Need to Know

For owners, the aircraft's annual maintenance check is a time of year that most dread; yet, it is as fundamental to aviation safety as the procedures that every pilot goes through before each flight. Required by the FAA to meet basic airworthiness standards, an aircraft’s registered owner or operator must complete a specific number of inspections and maintenance procedures to be safe (and legal) to fly each year.

Maintaining airworthy conditions includes being compliant with all applicable Airworthiness Directives (ADs) and meeting all current regulations concerning the operation and maintenance of his or her specific aircraft.

Though it can be overwhelming for aircraft owners, the annual is a crucial part of safe flying. As ANN's Cirrus SR-22 entered its first annual inspection, Aero-TV saw an opportunity to share some important advice from the technicians who make safe maintenance their career.

In the second of the 'annual inspection' series, Sarasota Avionics' General Manager Bill Thompson talks about important avionics issues that might arise during an aircraft annual. While basic inspection may include simply software revisions, technicians also need to check for any upgrades required by Airworthiness Directives or mandatory service bulletins issued by the manufacturer of the avionics equipment.

 Join Aero-TV as Bill Thompson addresses the information that owners need to know going into the avionics side of an annual aircraft inspection.
