This session presents an OEM-aligned approach to aircraft care, inspection, and preservation. Learn how materials such as neoprene and urethane respond to use, environment, and maintenance practices. We'll cover proper inspection methods, common failure modes, and approved care and techniques that extend service life while avoiding damage. Guidance reflects manufacturer standards, including those associated with Collins Aerospace, and translates them into practical, real-world applications.
