A licensed A&P can perform either 100 hr inspection or an annual inspection. Annual inspections must have the appropriate log book entries approving the aircraft for return to service. This requires the mechanic to have an IA rating attached to his certification this stands for inspector authorization. A mechanic with just an a&p certification can only make log book entries on 100 hour inspections. Most aircraft engines have a quick drain these are spring loaded closed and you press them up in a detent to open the valve. Some engines will have a finger screen and an oil screen or a finger screen and a spin on filter. All finger screens or oil screens utilize a copper crush washer the smooth side of the washer goes towards the turning surface in order to seal the plug or the cap. I'm a licensed aircraft mechanic and have been for 30 years and not one aircraft that I've turned to wrench on or my fellow mechanics that I work with had one fail due to a maintenance related activity. You can generally take a mechanic and make a pilot but you can't take a pilot and make a mechanic. A lot of pilots get their a&p certification after the fact so throughout the year they can save themselves on maintenance cost. They only seek a mechanic with an inspector's authorization to get that sign off on an annual inspection. So sometimes what happens after an annual is anyone's guess

Hi Jimmy. I’m not sure if the Siera has a shoulder harness but with the nature of your restoration flights I would suggest trying to fit / wear one, especially as a few recent reported accidents have proved greater survivability when wearing one. Keep up the great work.

The FAA may have other things to say on the matter, but if the chrome job on the spinner was Sputtered on instead of electroplated, then there was no metallurgical changes to the base metal. Even if it was electroplated, then there shouldn't have been any changes to the base metal. if chroming is banned due to dissimilar metals causing a corrosion cell. then the chrome could simply be ground off and the base metal repolished.

Watching your son under the dash reminds me of me many decades ago. One time in particular was helping my father and his friends doing an annual on a Cessna 180. They had the “kid” crawl through the luggage compartment to feel around for cracks around the rear controls. The mechanic told me yell if if found one. He was surprised when I did. I guess it became a service action (sorry forget the aviation term). To this day pretty much every time I see him he brings it up and tells me that I probably saved the owners life when I found that.

I wasn't sure I was going to like the channel but I gave it a try and I was definitely pleased. I felt very entertained. Thank you.

I had a similar problem on my cardinal with the RPM. I fly out of a short strip, so power is kind of important. All of the "experts" kept telling that not reaching max rpm was normal until I reached a higher airspeed. Long story short, they were wrong, the prop governor adjustment screw threaded boss had cracked. I sent it off for overhaul and now I reach 2700 RPM on static. Max RPM on the first part of the takeoff roll makes a huge difference when operating from a short (1730) airstrip. My engine is an O-360, 180 HP. I'm confident that yours should reach max RPM on static runup.

@ksavage681

Yeah, he should confer with a few more experts and try to solve that. Maybe it's the model of propeller that is limiting the rpm?

When you was installing the engine and then the governor, I noticed that there is a ring of weld nuts around the governor location of the firewall. It looks like the cover can be removed or installed from INside the plane. This may be done to allow governor adjustment after installation. I can't visualize burying such a critical adjustment so it cannot be accessed after the engine installation.

Love that You never give up and always getting it done whit the most entusiasm possible, keep on good work Buddy! Greetings from Sweden!

There is a difference between max static and dynamic RPM, even with a constant speed propeller. Typically the max static RPM is set 50 to 100 lower then the red line. On a single engine installation, the prop at the hub, is set for that lower max RPM (via mechanical low pitch stops). This is done so if you have a prop gov failure with the prop "going flat" (loss of oil pressure at the hub), the prop still produces "acceptable" thrust. During my aerobatic days, a friend of my had a prop pitch set too low, lost the gov and could not make it back to the airport. So even if you set the prop gov for lets say 2800 RPM, you will never get it during a static run, since the prop is as flat as it can be. You will however get that 2800 RPM during dynamic or take off run! Now if the prop gov RPM is set lower then that desired static RPM of minus 50-100, cranking up the prop gov RPM will make a difference during static run up. Cycling the prop at 2000 RPM really does not test the "governing" part of the governor, since it is still sitting in a large under-speed condition. Yes the prop drops RPM, oil moves around but that is it. To test the gov you should bring the RPM with the throttle in the middle or lower part of RPM. So lets say 2300 RPM, now slowly back out the prop to 2250 RPM. The prop governor is now in control, you are in the constant speed range. Now you can adjust the throttle by few inches MP, up and down. The RPM should remain constant. Last thing in mind is to make sure you do not increase the MP beyond the recommended RPM/MP as stated in the POH. You can go over-square at these lower power settings, its actually desirable but that is another discussion. So that's the technical part. Your "will it run" videos are fun and since the planes stay on the ground, no harm is done. This flying vid however increases the stakes, it places certain "responsibility" on you to do things "right". Lots of people are watching, mostly not pilots. As a 16,000 hr pilot, instructor and all that, this vid is not sending the right massage. You are too casual about it all.....

Hello Jimmy, great vid. Quick comment: when in a fully static runup, you shouldn't reach redline rpm, even with a constant speed prop, but 20-40prm lower (but not 150-180 as you are experiencing). Reason is the prop reaches full forward stop. So when the governor fails, less prop angle does not make sense (so it makes thrust when it fails). I sure hope your governor overhaul (or rather new one) wasn't in vain I am not an A&P. Please correct me if you know better or the maintenance manual says esle. I fly a 210. Same same but different

The right seat passenger and wife of pilot smashed against the instrument panel. The daughter in the back seat walked to get help. Just like your Sierra -- Seat belts only as the plane was old. FAA -- Shoulder Harness Kits A shoulder harness is your ticket to a long career in flying. Without use of a shoulder harness, even a minor accident can cause a serious injury or death. Why take a chance? Flying is rewarding and fun. Keep flying as long as you can. If you follow two recommendations you can greatly improve your chances for a long flying career. These are: If your airplane has shoulder harnesses, use them. If your airplane is not equipped with shoulder harnesses, have them installed as soon as possible
