As a pilot or aircraft owner, keeping your airplane airworthy is one of the most important things you can do. It’s basically like giving your airplane a yearly check-up. This is similar to the annual check but is required more frequently for airplanes flown with paying passengers. That’s where the AVIATES acronym comes in handy.

For a certain segment of pilots looking to travel a certain distance, a fast, personal airplane can serve as a veritable time machine. And the rest of the airplane follows suit. While individual upgrades like these often return only a few knots each, they can collectively boost a stock airplanes cruise speed noticeably.

How did any given airplane sell? In order to be flown by a sport pilot, the resulting airplane must still meet the current regulations—1,320 pounds maximum gross weight, 120 knots max cruise speed, for example—but how it gets there is up to the builder. But successful? Not at all. Was it profitable for the company?
