Patented Safety Clip On University Training Aircraft, Available For Licensing
Student pilots and their instructors and maintenance personnel at Purdue University now know with certainty that the magnetos are off in Piper Archers in the training fleet, thanks to a new safety device created by aviation experts at Purdue Polytechnic Institute. Michael Davis, director of aircraft maintenance, and Jon Ziulkowski, senior lecturer and Part 141 flight operations quality assessment manager in the University’s School of Aviation and Transportation Technology, designed and implemented their invention on all 18 Piper Archer aircraft in Purdue’s training fleet.
