Does your airplane’s shock strut need fluid?

Does it need nitrogen? … or air?

And more importantly, could you service the strut safely?

If you’ve ever had a low strut, you know it can be very frustrating.

Sometimes it can be challenging to sort through all the maintenance manual information, your POH information, your local A&P’s instructions, and your fellow aviators’ opinions, about shock struts and how they should be maintained.

What if there was a simple and clear way to learn about shock strut servicing?

Very soon, there will be a way!

The video training course for “Servicing Landing Gear Shock Struts” will be available in the near future.

Be watching for more details.


Also in this episode, we talk about “FEVA” or “Failiing Exhaust Valve Analytics,” a concept being developed by Mike Busch and his team at Savvy Aviation. If you’d like to learn more, here’s a very interesting article.

This discussion was prompted by an email I received that said, “Dean, what do you think of Mike Busch and his Savvy Aviator columns?” I answered that question in today’s podcast episode.
