Projects

Below are some of our current projects:

  • Engine project:

    The last engine change was done at Kalene in May/June 2003. Since we are now a licensed AMO, we are able to do the engine changes at Kalene instead of Botswana, which saves us much time and cost. As of now the current engine has logged almost 1600 hours. This is the mandatory overhaul time stated by the manufacturer and required by the DCA (Department of Civil Aviation).



An inspection of other major items is needed at this time. This involves replacement or overhaul of certain aircraft components, i.e. the turbo charger, nose gear, propeller, etc., thorough inspection, and replacement of parts.

We have now ordered the new engine, and it is being shipped from the USA in October. Lord willing, it should arrive in Zambia soon. To maintain the high standard of quality and safety, our policy is to purchase again a re-manufactured engine from Continental to meet this requirement.

  • 2 Containers for Flight  House

    We are in the process of transforming 2 containers into accommodation facilities.
    Upon completion, these accommodation containers will be used at the Flight Service Guest House in Lusaka. These facilities will include a bedroom with double bed, a bathroom with shower, and sitting room. This will help to accommodate additional guests. We look to the Lord to help finish off this project.

  • Vehicle Project - Old Flight Service Vehicle at Kalene

    "For 11 years and over 176,000 kilometers, I have served the Lord faithfully, until now. In the last days, I've been getting slower and slower. Rarely could I get going over 50 km/hr. (31 mph). But that didn't matter. Considering the bumpy, pothole infested roads here, I didn't want to go faster than that anyway. But it seems the road finally did me in. I'm up on blocks now, waiting for new spares to arrive. It's been almost a year, and still not all my parts have come. Being from a different tribe than most of the other vehicles here in Zambia, it is very difficult to get parts and very expensive for my owners. Pray that I may get up and running again soon, or that someone else may replace me, so that I can retire. It's been a hard life, but I'm thankful that I could do it for the Lord."
