Maintaining Your Aircraft Hangar Door

Here is some great advice on hangar-door maintenance from Paul at AeroDoor International. Thanks for the guest post Paul!!!

 

Hangar 39 Door Close UpYour hangar door is a fundamental part of your building and protects your aircraft from dust, sand and water intrusion, that’s a fact. It’s arguable that the physical condition of your hangar door can determine the success or failure of your building in extreme weather, as many buildings collapse after the hangar door has blown in.

Either way it is worth reminding you that a hangar doors condition beyond whether it opens and closes could have an impact on the doors life span, and preventive maintenance needs to be addressed.

As years pass, a once durable door that has served as the face of your aircraft hangar will begin to deteriorate due to the life expectancy of the materials and Florida's demanding climate. This can result in problems for hangar door owners that translate into much more serious and potentially dangerous or expensive scenarios that include the dreaded words “door replacement”.

Caring for your hangar door can be done through periodic service inspections and preventive maintenance, as well as following some of the simple tips below:

Bi-Fold Door Systems

  • Grease line shaft pillow blocks through a grease zerk.
  • Lubricate center hinge at all locations. Check cotter pins and replace if needed.
  • Check sprockets and chain at operator:
  1. If sprockets have shifted, loosen mounting bolts and realign using a straight edge.
  2. If chain is loose, adjust by using the tension bolts on the gear reducer. Loose the four bolts on the back of the gear reducer, tighten the tensioning bolts until the chain has from 1/4” to 1/2” of play. Retighten all bolts and lubricate chain with oil.
  • Lubricate all the lift cables using an old rage and gear oil. As the rag is passed over the cables, watch and feel carefully for frays in the cables. Any cables excessively frayed should be replaced.
  • Check adjustment of the locking cables which should be tight enough to close the door gently. Over tightening of these cables will lead to premature cable failure.
  • With the door in the fully closed position, check door rollers for excessive wear. Check to see if the door is tracking straight. This can be seen by the marks left by the door rollers on the outside of the jamb.
  • Inspect welding of the frame to the building.
  • Check that all switches and wiring are in good working order.
  • Inspect locking devices and hurricane bolts.
  • Check the top and bottom door weatherstripping and replace if necessary.

Hydraulic Swing Door Systems

  • Lubricate hinges on the header at all locations.
  • Check hydraulic fluid level. Replace hydraulic fluid and filter every 2-years.
  • Clean and lubricate cylinder shafts.
  • Inspect all hydraulic hoses for cracks and deterioration.
  • Inspect all hydraulic lines for leaks.
  • Inspect welding of the frame to the building.
  • Check that all switches and wiring are in good working order.
  • Inspect hurricane bolts.
  • Check the top and bottom door weatherstripping and replace if necessary.
  • Please make sure your hydraulic door utilizes at least a counterbalance valve which stops the door from crashing down if there is a fault in the hydraulic door. Some hydraulic door manufacturers did not supply these which means the door could be a potential death trap. If you are unsure or know they are not fitted and would like them installed they can be retrofitted.

Safety First

If you choose to inspect your door yourself it’s a good idea to let everyone in your hangar know that you are servicing the door and that it is not to be opened or closed by anyone until you tell them you are finished. We also advise you use the manufacturers parts or parts of equal quality.

PIREP: Arizona Backcountry Flying

Enjoy this captivating new guest-post by Nate Van Ness. Thanks for contributing Nate!

 

IFR - I follow riversI recently spent some time receiving some backcountry flying instruction from George Hoover of Coulee Air Services. I had contacted George via email indicating that I was looking for some "mountain flying instruction". George was friendly and approachable, and tailored a three-hour flight to meet the learning objectives I had stated.

I met George at Falcon Field in Mesa, Arizona. After a few minutes of ground instruction, I was introduced to his airplane, a beautiful CarbonCub 100. Soon, we were departing Falcon for the wilds of the Tonto National Forest, northeast of greater Phoenix. There is a small mountain referred to as Red Mountain on the departure path. George flew us up and over the mountain, cutting the power and diving over the top downhill. It will certainly get your blood pumping!

George got me warmed up with some performance maneuvers: slow flight, stalls, steep turns, and lazy 8's. Then he introduced me to some survival flying maneuvers, notably canyon turns and a modified wingover, useful for escaping a box canyon. I should say that while these maneuvers were outside of my comfort zone, George was a patient and knowledgeable instructor, and had me kicking the rudder with gusto in no time.
