Whether you’re storing your engine during maintenance, or preparing to ship it overseas, aircraft engine covers and moisture barrier bags will help protect your plane from corrosion.

1. Aircraft Engine Covers and Moisture Barrier Bags Help Prevent Corrosion for Airplanes
If you have an airplane it is important to maintain it. For example, changing the oil – which must be
a special airplane motor oil without the metallic detergents found in auto oil – should be done about
every 30 hours of flight time, or seasonally, if you fly less than 200 hours annually. To prevent oil
corrosion it’s important to fly your plane as much as possible.
Once you have the proper routine and maintenance schedule for your plane you will wind up
spending less on repairs later in your plane’s lifetime. Corrosion protection is necessary, because if
you have engine corrosion, that’s it, you need a new engine. No turning back after that. And don’t
store her in direct sunlight, since UV rays can weaken and destroy the composite materials.
Whether you’re storing your engine during maintenance, or preparing to ship it overseas, aircraft
engine covers will help protect your plane. Even if you leave your plane in a hangar it is necessary
to protect it from the elements while you are away. Also, the wheels should have moisture barrier
bags placed over them when the plane is not active.
Stronger and lighter than traditional tarps, our protective aircraft engine covers are custom made
from state of the art engineered materials designed for durable protection in all types of
weather. These serve as a sacrificial outer coating to protect items in storage or during transport.
They can be custom fit and designed to fit any engine/stand configuration you might have. You
provide the dimensions and Protective Packaging will deliver a custom sewn, protective cover for a
snug fit. All our protective covers are lined with grommets to enable flexible options for securing
the cover to equipment. Give us a call at 1-800-644-4032 and let us design a cover for you.
Corrosion can seriously damage your plane and make for expensive repairs farther down the road.
So take care of your plane now that you have made the investment. That’s what she deserves.
