"There's a dirty little secret about aviation maintenance: it often breaks aircraft instead of fixing them."

"Manifesto" is the much-anticipated first book from renowned aviation columnist and speaker Mike Busch. Written in typical no-nonsense style, it lays out the basis of Mike's "minimalist" maintenance philosophy for owner-flown general aviation aircraft. An owner who follows the book's guidance can save a small fortune on maintenance costs and end up with a safer, more reliable aircraft.

Owners are advised to perform the absolute least amount of maintenance required to make their aircraft safe, reliable and legal. and nothing more. The book explains in detail why engine and propeller TBOs and most other manufacturer-prescribed maintenance intervals should be disregarded. And "Manifesto" explains exactly how to do it.
