Manifesto: A Revolutionary Approach to General Aviation Maintenance (Mike Busch on Airplane Maintenance and Ownership Book 1)
€œThere€s a dirty little secret about aviation maintenance: it often breaks aircraft instead of fixing them."
"Manifesto" is the much-anticipated first book from renowned aviation columnist and speaker Mike Busch. Written in typical no-nonsense style, it lays out the basis of Mike's €œminimalist€ maintenance philosophy for owner-flown general aviation aircraft. An owner who follows the book's guidance can save a small fortune on maintenance costs and end up with a safer, more reliable aircraft.
Owners are advised to perform the absolute least amount of maintenance required to make their aircraft safe, reliable and legal€¦ and nothing more. The book explains in detail why engine and propeller TBOs and most other manufacturer-prescribed maintenance intervals should be disregarded. And €œManifesto€ explains exactly how to do it.
