About Pasquale Aviation Cylinder Analysis
Pasquale Aviation Cylinder Analysis is an advanced diagnostic inspection platform designed to modernize and elevate aircraft reciprocating engine maintenance. Our platform standardizes internal cylinder examinations by guiding technicians through a structured 11-part image capture process covering the piston crown, exhaust and intake valve heads, seats, guide stems, and full cylinder walls. Created specifically for aircraft owners, pilots, FAA-certificated Airframe and Powerplant (A&P) mechanics, Inspection Authorization (IA) holders, and aviation maintenance facilities, this application transforms routine borescope photography into comprehensive, certified condition reports. Developed by the engine specialists and aviation technicians at Pasquale Aviation, our mission is to empower owners and mechanics with transparent visual evidence, actionable thermal grading, and reliable cylinder diagnostics to ensure maximum flight safety and engine longevity.
What the Platform Does
Pasquale Aviation Cylinder Analysis streamlines the complete borescope examination workflow for piston aircraft engines. The application guides technicians through capturing and organizing high-resolution imagery across 11 critical internal cylinder locations, including the piston crown, exhaust and intake valve faces, valve seats, guide interfaces, and all four cylinder wall quadrants. By transforming raw borescope photos into structured diagnostic records with heat signature assessment and compression history tracking, the software generates comprehensive, FAA-ready inspection reports that can be saved or emailed directly to aircraft owners and maintenance logs.
Who It Is For
This application is designed specifically for general aviation aircraft owners, pilots, licensed Airframe and Powerplant (A&P) mechanics, Inspection Authorization (IA) holders, flight school maintenance fleets, and fixed-base operators (FBOs). Whether conducting routine 100-hour and annual inspections, monitoring suspect exhaust valve hot spots, investigating unexpected compression loss, or performing thorough pre-purchase evaluations on single and twin-engine aircraft, our tools give maintenance teams and pilots the clarity and objective evidence they need to make confident airworthiness decisions.
Who Builds It
The platform is developed and maintained by Pasquale Aviation's own Borescope Experts, Jess Nordlander and Business owner Dave Pasquale, a dedicated team of aircraft maintenance technicians, powerplant specialists, and aviation technology engineers. Rooted in extensive hands-on hangar experience with Continental, Lycoming, and other general aviation powerplants, Pasquale Aviation is committed to modernizing piston engine diagnostics. We believe that regular, high-precision visual borescopy combined with structured, developed feedback prevents catastrophic in-flight cylinder failures, reduces premature engine overhauls, and keeps aircraft flying safely.
