GAMI Injectors GAMI injectors are designed to deliver the specific fuel amount to each cylinder that will compensate for the fuel and air imbalance inherent in the fundamental design of the engine fuel/air system.

Engine Pre-heater Protect your valuable investment from a cold awakening. In less than a minute, a single cold start without proper preheating can produce more wear on your piston engine than 500 hours of normal cruise operation.​ New Interior We can all agree that there’s nothing better than the fresh smell of a new interior in your aircraft.

Maintenance MNYR085K PQ3524CE Certified Repair Station FAA-PMA Our Legacy Mike Kelley started doing aircraft maintenance in 1977 in a hangar on Wellington’s municipal airport, hanging out his shingle as Air Plains Services , a nod to both the Great Plains of southcentral Kansas and the region’s reputation for aviation. Just a few miles north is Wichita, home to aviation legends Clyde Cessna, Walter Beech and Lloyd Stearman and known today as the Air Capital of the World. It wasn’t long, though, before Kelley and his wife, Carolyn, turned a passion for flying and for innovation into an industry leader as an airplane transformer, turning legacy Cessna pistons into power singles with STCs for Extreme Performance engine upgrades. Forty-five years later, the company still ranks as the leader in engine upgrade STCs and has added a wide range of avionics upgrades, propeller STCs, PMA parts, specialty manufacturing, interiors, and, of course, full aircraft maintenance.

3 Point Primer Kit optional for installation with Air Plains 180HP engine upgrade, STC SA4428SW. If your geographical location is primarily cold weather adding two priming nozzles will ease the starting procedure. Adding two priming nozzles has proven a smoother start. Air Plains collaborated with Lycoming to provide a custom primer line kit for Air Plains new and existing customers. If you have an Air Plains 172-180hp that was done prior to 2021 it is very likely the original primer system was reinstalled with the new engine. While the previous process works just fine, Air Plains has added an option to the upgrade kit to now offer a three point primer kit. If you have an existing Air Plains 172-180hp installation you very likely have the single priming system that is original to the aircraft. The standard installation reuses the existing primer lines and reinstalls on the new engine. Increase the chances of starting your engine during the first revolution with the three point primer system installed.

Once again, you ask and we respond. The success of our original PMA Cessna 172 adjustable airbox bracket led us to develop a second PMA adjustable airbox bracket that improves the life of both the bracket and airbox. Over more than 45 years in business, we've replaced or repaired hundreds of airboxes and airbox brackets and the shortcomings of OEM parts became apparent to us. That led us to develop our own PMA boxes and brackets that address those shortcomings, resulting in parts that last much longer while costing much less. The most glaring issue with OEM brackets is the variability in unit height - as much as one-quarter inch from bracket to bracket. This can result in a poor fit of the bracket and airbox to the engine. Combine that with common engine vibration and stress on the metal parts increases. Over time, the components can crack. We solved that with two adjustable locations that compensate for any misalignment of the installed components. With the adjustable bracket, you're assured of a perfect fit that reduces stress on the components, increasing the life of the assembly. This variant of this particular bracket also provides a second adjustable piece where the bracket connects with the existing baffles. We also made the top section of the bracket from Chromoly steel, improving strength where it matters most. Chromoly steel differs from other types of steel in its higher tensile strength so it can withstand greater forces without breaking or deforming. It also has better corrosion resistance, making it ideal for applications exposed to harsh environments or moisture. The new Air Plains bracket (APS0555216-16) replaces part number 0555216-16 and is approved for Cessna 172M Serial Number range: 17261899-17267584 and F172Ms (F17201035-F17201514 - produced under license by Reims Aviation in France). The new bracket is available now for online purchase.  Air Plains introduced its first PMA adjustable airbox bracket in 2022 and is approved for certain Cessna 172L and 172M models as well as for all 172B through 172M models upgraded with the Air Plains 180hp Lycoming O-360 engine upgrade (STC SA4428SW). Air Plains bracket part number APS0552120-2 replaces either 0552120-2 or 0552120-1 and fits all approved models. Speaking of improved PMA/STC airboxes, Air Plains produced its own line of airboxes for Cessna 172s, 180s, 182s and 188s. As with our line of brackets, we made improvements where we found deficiencies in OEM products including structural adhesive reinforcements in areas of high stress, hardened control arms with a thicker cross-section, and oil-impregnated bronze bushings replacing needle bearings that reduce wear and eliminate the possibility of detached needles being ingested into the engine. Our online store also features PMA airbox collars, gaskets and more.  For more information about any of Air Plains' products or services, call 1-800-752-8481 or +1-620-326-8904, or send us an email: sales@airplains.com
