Durable, Custom-Fit Cowl Plugs for Civilian Aircraft Engines

Kennon Cowl Plugs

Foreign Object Damage (FOD) can be one of the most costly hazards in general aviation. A bird’s nest. A beehive. A handful of leaves. Any of these can wreak havoc if they end up inside your aircraft’s engine compartment. That’s why Kennon’s custom-fit Cowl Plugs are a must-have safety solution for pilots and aircraft owners.

Kennon Cowl Plugs are built tough with a durable outer shell and a rugged foam core.  They are designed to hold their shape and stay securely in place in any weather. Each set is made-to-order, personalized with your aircraft’s tail number embroidered on the plug, and includes RBF streamer, and a tough, nylon storage bag.

Our plugs come connected with strong webbing which is designed to drape around your propeller. If you ever forget to remove them, prop movement on engine start-up will pull the plugs free. For added peace of mind, we also offer optional upright Remove Before Flight flags that are visible from the cockpit for a critical visual reminder before takeoff.

Kennon Cowl Plugs are designed for safety, durability, and convenience. Protect your aircraft’s engine. Avoid costly repairs. And fly with confidence.
