Maintaining the undercarriage of your light aircraft is essential for safe and efficient flying. Over time, grease, oil, and dirt can build up on the undercarriage, affecting the aircraft's performance and lifespan. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to degrease the undercarriage of your light aircraft:
Step 1: Preparation
Before degreasing the undercarriage, you'll need to prepare the area. Start by removing any loose debris or dirt using a soft-bristled brush or compressed air. This will make the degreasing process more effective.
Step 2: Selecting the Right Degreaser
Choosing the right degreaser is important to ensure that the undercarriage is thoroughly cleaned without damaging the aircraft. It's recommended to use a biodegradable degreaser that is specifically formulated for aircraft use. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents that can corrode the metal parts of the undercarriage.
At The Smart Wash Ltd, we use only the highest quality, aviation-grade degreasers to safely and effectively remove grease and oil from your aircraft's undercarriage.
Step 3: Applying the Degreaser
Using a spray bottle or foam applicator, apply the degreaser evenly to the undercarriage. Be sure to cover all areas thoroughly, including the landing gear, wheel wells, and other metal components.
Step 4: Let the Degreaser Work
Allow the degreaser to sit on the undercarriage for the recommended amount of time specified on the product label. This will give the degreaser time to break down the grease and oil, making it easier to clean off.
Step 5: Rinse the Undercarriage
Using a pressure washer or hose, rinse off the undercarriage thoroughly to remove all traces of degreaser and dirt. Be sure to use a low-pressure setting to avoid damaging any delicate parts of the undercarriage.
Step 6: Inspect the Undercarriage
After degreasing and rinsing the undercarriage, inspect it for any remaining grease or oil. If there are still areas that need attention, repeat the degreasing process until the undercarriage is completely clean.
