Prolonging the life of your interior can be increased with a little extra care during the winter months.

Be careful when entering your aircraft after walking across the ramp or were ever your car is parked. Shoe soles may grab salt from the parking lot or from the ramp which may have deice product (which may contain salt). Those items are easily tracked into your interior and be absorbed into the carpet. Once inside the aircraft these products can work their evil ways which not only impact your interior, but also will create corrosion on the structure of your aircraft without ever seeing evidence of this occurring until it is too late. Corrosion which is not addressed, will require extensive repairs to the aircraft structure. So please make sure your shoes are tapped off before entering your aircraft.

Enjoy the winter flying and stay warm.
