Why are aircraft owners not more concerned about how their turbines are serviced with oil

    There can be several reasons for why aircraft owners may not be more concerned about how their turbines are serviced with oil.

    • Aircraft owners may not fully understand the importance of proper oil servicing and the potential damage that can be caused by FOD in oil systems. Without understanding the risks, they may not prioritize it as a high concern.
    • Aircraft owners may rely on service providers to handle the oil servicing and may not have the knowledge or resources to properly monitor and control the servicing process.
    • Aircraft owners may not have a process in place to track and monitor the oil servicing. Without a process in place, they may not have visibility into the servicing process or the condition of the oil system.
    • Aircraft owners may be focused on other pressing concerns, such as flight schedules and compliance with flight regulations, that they may not have the capacity to focus on oil servicing.
    • Aircraft owners may have trust on their service providers and believe that they are following the industry standards and regulations, which is not always the case.

    To become more knowledgeable, aircraft owners should educate themselves on the importance of proper oil servicing, establish clear policies and procedures for oil servicing, choose experienced and reputable service providers, implement a FOD prevention program and continuously review and improve oil servicing procedures.

    By taking these steps, aircraft owners can ensure that their turbines are serviced in a proper and effective way that prevents FOD. Using TheCanKey FOD free oil servicing tools will ultimately save costs and improve the overall safety and performance of their aircraft.
