EXCELLENT! work and thanks for such a detailed work. cheers from NZ

Wow! The effort put into this production is evident and this is a very useful source for student pilots who want to go further than their tests require. The old and traditional charm makes this even more fun. Thank you for sharing!

Having assisted in the annual inspections of my airplane over the years, I'm impressed with how well my A&P and IA do their jobs. They have served me well....

Two minor comments. Safety wire of oil filter should be pulling filter in the tighten direction and when referencing the mag switch the master switch was shown. The rest was very well shown. Thanks for the video. Hanger Dave KJVL

As a newbie to flying, I felt that I should study as much as possible. I am learning even more how important every aspect of flying primarily service/maintenance as well the pilot's commitment to safety is. This is thorough! I hope we are producing enough new mechanics, these skills must be passed on and valued with great reverence for these mechanics.

Very thorough and comprehensive. Thank you for posting this!

Muy buen video!!!

50:06 the wiring is wrong, safety wire should be intalled with shortest route to the bolt hole, here the demonstrater too the 2nd or 3rd bolt hole, (its wrong).

Hola

Any compression gauge manual I've read and the way we've done it is that you need to go up to 20psi to make sure cylinder is really at TDC and when that's ok to go up to 80psi.

I think this was made before I was there. Vaughn and Tim look a bit younger. 😁

It is common now to do a bore scope inspection of the cylinders at annual.

This guy Guerrero came to our shop 2 years ago. He and another instructors took a whole bunch of donations from HeliOne Fort Collins. He sure looked quite aged. Fun guy to talk.

Es un gusto saludarle Sr. Olivares. Me gustaria saber si tine mas videos sobre mantenimiento aeronautico, como este y si los podria subir o enviarmelos. Gracias

That saw some sloppy safety wire

Excellent!

Thank you for this video, please let me know where can I get the airframe section?

Yes it's more expensive to put new plugs in but I am not cheap with aircraft maintenance.

hello there, how is the aircraft mechanic job out look and pay at the moment , i want to switch my career as electrician to aircraft mechanic or Heavy duty mech , would you recommend this career path

Isnt the compression check shown rather be a cylinder leakdown test?

I thought the same, Guess its different for planes ✈️

Why is that guy rolling his eyes so much?

Lycoming and Continental engines are outdated. Just like air cooled motorcycle engines were replaced with more reliable, longer lasting water cooled engines. Aircraft engine companies like Popular Rotax have already switched to 4cycle water cooled engines.

In the video, you state that manufacturer's service letters and service bulletins supercede AC 43-13. This is incorrect, unless the service letter or service bulletin is FAA Approved. Service Bulletins are not mandatory unless they are referenced in a FAA Airworthiness Directive or aircraftvType Certificate.. FAA Advisory Circulars are a means, but not the only means, for compliance with a FAR.

Just put all new spark plugs in.

Excellent Inspection. 1/22/2022

As mechanic, I also agree, but where does it say that?

I turned prop with finger over spark plug hole, no compression at all. Valve was stuck open. Get mechanic to check silencers with a video scope.

He’s mad at your future self for fucking up so bad. He literally bears the weight of the world of every mechanic’s transgressions on his mind, body and soul 24/7/365. Also he knows you will never achieve his level of absolute perfection, and this angers him. He sleeps with his torque wrench and safety wire pliers SAFELY stowed by his side. DO YOU?

I have been an Aircraft mechanic for over 40 years the most important thing involved is knowledge of what you are doing. The information in this video is lacking the knowledge and the professional. I was told: those that know do Those that don't know teach Those that don't know teach P.E.

If inspections are this thorough, why do we always hear about planes crashing from engine problems? Maybe in the real world a lot of things are pencil whipped?

How often are you hearing about engine failures? A quick google search shows that 15% of aircraft accidents are a result of mechanical failures, although I have no clue on the credibility of that. Still, I don’t hear about engine failure accidents hardly ever (though I don’t go out and look for them either)

That filter safety wore was horrible...

Hm. Modern car engines made in Korea or in Japan do not need 100hrs services. That would correspond to service each 10000km so about. Are the aviation engines from another era or does the security record actually demand this? Are you flying dinosaurs?

@apackwestbound5946

Yes, dinosaurs. There are many MILLIONS of car engines made every year, they are used in every country on earth. There are only a few thousand piston airplane engines made every year. The piston airplane engine market is extremely small. It takes a huge sum of money to develop, get government approval to use an engine in an airplane. There is not much of a market for development and marketing new technology aviation engines for general aviation use. Virtually no profit margin, huge costs to bring to market and liability issues are why the general aviation engine technology is stuck in time. 100 hour inspections and annual inspections are government (U.S.A.) requirements when the airplane is used for hire (to generate money) as a safety precaution. If your car engine fails you pull off the side of the road. When your airplane engine fails you come out of the air and the sudden stop can be fatal, there is a much higher degree of risk hence the different inspection requirements.

lol compression test, its NOT a compression test, its a leak down test.

Lost credibility when he said safety wire oil filter to engine mount, then later shows master switch pic when talking about mag switch. Entertaining though to bad the editor screwed up.

I love how you call this is a compression test .. it's a leak down test... nothing showing compression at all what a joke

Differential compression test

if inspector want looking my plane, i not pay anythink if want inspect its ok, but if need money go looking many other plane and thief money, inspector not need money, have him work and hi do what him do but i not need pay him work newer. if FAA need inspector work FAA pay him salary, plane owner not need all inspector or pay him salary. FAA pay if want inspector work. owner NOT ewer need pay to him anythink.

Say what? Ok, are you trying to say an inspector is going to try and find something wrong to make more money? Maybe, maybe not. There are shady mechanics in all professions, so it's possible. I used to run in to that situation with auto repair shops. Years ago my state had an annual safety inspection on vehicles. Some places would always find something wrong so they could make money. I never gave them the satisfaction because the law said you could get it fixed anywhere, not just at the shop that failed your car. One failed me for the spring tension on my wind shield wiper blade for example. I never saw another shop do that test. Some of those tests might have been bogus stuff they made up for all I know. They would ALWAYS say my head lights needed adjusting. It got so crooked the state did away with those inspections and now the state patrol can do spot checks, but I've never seen one done.

"plane owner not need all inspector or pay him salary" actually this mindset and business model has killed many people throughout aviation's history. In fact many Airline manages and CEO-types feel exactly that way about their employees. Go back to the early days of aviation and way earlier than Francisco Anthony "Frank" Lorenzo and Texas International Airlines where low pay, terrible working conditions and poor maintenance were common-the safety record was abysmal.
