Under the Cowling: Ryder’s Inspection of a Continental Engine

At Fixed Wing Aviation Maintenance, we treat every aircraft that enters our hangar with the same meticulous attention. This time, our trusted technician, Ryder is using a borescope into a cylinder of this Continental engine to visually examine the piston and cylinder as a step in troubleshooting a customer’s complaint.

Whether it’s part of a routine inspection, a pre-buy evaluation, or troubleshooting a performance issue, internal engine inspections are crucial to safe and reliable flight.

Our team—led by Steve Miller and comprised of Cirrus and Diamond aircraft specialists—knows what to look for when it comes to Continental engines and other general aviation powerplants. Every job we undertake receives the same attention to detail and professional approach to provide top-notch customer experience and safety of flight.

Whether you need a scheduled maintenance or your Cirrus or Diamond aircraft engine inspections in Central Florida, you’ll find no better crew than ours at Fixed Wing Aviation Maintenance. We are located onboard Lakeland Linder International Airport (KLAL), next to Sheltair FBO. We’re honored and grateful to be your go-to for Cirrus service, Diamond aircraft expertise, and complete general aviation maintenance.
