Absolute Aero Maintenance

We've been keeping the Lycoming factory busy! #lycoming

We're very excited to see #diamondaircraft making strides in the development and certification of the new DA50 RG! https://www.facebook.com/1479081129066046/posts/2312423869065097/

This turbocharger crack was only visible once the exhaust collector was removed. Only after the turbocharger was disassembled could you see the turbine housing mounting flange was nearly gone. This could have ended very badly, luckily a sequence of events led us to it before failure!

Happy Aviation Maintenance Technician Day! May 24th is the birthday of Charles Taylor, who was a partner of Orville and Wilbur Wright in the development of the ...first powered aircraft and is now considered the father of the aviation maintenance profession. Thank you to all the men and women who ensure the safety of our aircraft! #AMTday2019 #AMT #AVgeek #AVpros #pilot #pilotlife #aviation #aviationlovers #aircraft #airplane #plane #aviationdaily #aviationgeek #flying #pilotview #piloting #pilotsview #avnerd #aviationlove #piloteyes #generalaviation #loveaviation #pilotsview #planelovers See more

We wrapped up another Garmin GTX 335 ADS-B Out transponder installation this week on a Cessna 172S. With the 2020 deadline fast approaching we're doing our part to help everyone get compliant.

It was a Cirrusly busy Monday!

We've completed a firewall forward update on this 1957 Piper Tri-Pacer. The original Lycoming O-320 (dash zero) has been replaced with a factory rebuilt O-320-A2B. Other upgrades include a rear mounted oil cooler, remote mount oil filter, Plane-Power alternator conversion, and Skytec starter to name a few.

This DA 42 is receiving some much needed attention! The nose landing gear pedestal was elongated, causing significant play in the gear attachment. Here it's going back together with a rebuilt damper, resealed actuator and all new hardware.

A cracked ceramic insulator caused this spark plug to act like a glow plug, leading to detonation. Luckily it was close to the airport and didn't occur long enough to cause any major damage.

A much needed glareshield replacement for this Piper Arrow!

We welcomed this beautiful 1956 Cessna 195 to it's new home at KHWD today! We performed an oil change and some minor airframe repairs after it made the journey from Missouri. If you've never seen one, the hinged engine mount makes working on the Jacobs R755 radial a breeze!

A great behind the scenes look at composite aircraft manufacturing!

We're excited to announce Absolute Aero Maintenance's appointment as a certified ICON Aircraft Service Center. Our team underwent maintenance training this week in advance of the first SF Bay Area deliveries. The highlight for all of us were the awesome demo flights in a pair of ICON A5's.
