    Uber/Lyft of the skies

    This Air-Taxi has been serving Western Washington state with Cessna 172s and Piper Cherokees for nearly ten years. The fleet continues to grow, hope that means they're making money. Unfortunately, you never really know if you're ahead until you sale the company. :cool...

    Be a little more specific please!

    So, are you saying that asking; "My airplane is making a weird noise sometimes what is it?" is not enough information? I really don't want to post my personal life all over the web, ya know?

    How to make the best pilot possible?

    First decide what you think a "Best Pilot" is. Do you want to be the best 'Airline', 'Bush', 'Corporate' or 'Fly Around The Patch and go to Fly-ins' Pilot? Quite often once you buy an aircraft and travel a little then you become the $100 hamburger pilot. If you have Professional Pilot...

    Owner Assisted Annuals are Now Outlawed unless Supervised 100%.

    Going back to the title of this thread " Owner Assisted Annuals are Now Outlawed unless Supervised 100%. " Doc, I agree with what you have pointed out and that the FAA is not going to stand behind the A&P and ensure that he is standing over the apprentice. Just like it's always been, the...

    Owner Assisted Annuals are Now Outlawed unless Supervised 100%.

    @Bell206 , Here's one of those times the FAA Principle Maintenance Inspector (PMI) wouldn't sign-off the Conformity Inspection. Purchased a DHC-2 with all three fuel tanks fabricated out of fiberglass and Stainless Steel fittings. A lot of work went into the building of those tanks and they had...

    Owner Assisted Annuals are Now Outlawed unless Supervised 100%.

    Don't tell me, I agree with you. That's the interpretation given by the FSDO in my area. Many of the Dehavilland Beavers have been affected by the particular FSDO's interpretation.

    Preventive Maintenance Training

    Sorry, Let me say it another way... The 'Training' for doing a task is acquired by the manufacture's publication. So, YES, you are being trained by studying the appropriate publications. If you are looking for a school or college course? I don't know of any. The FAA expects an A&P mechanic...

    Owner Assisted Annuals are Now Outlawed unless Supervised 100%.

    I'm sorry about that.:blush: When I wrote "Maintenance" should have specified "Other Then Preventative Maintenance". I personally advocate and even train owners how to do their own "Preventative Maintenance". On-the-other-hand, 21.9(b) says that the owner may NOT SALE the parts 'Owner...

    Owner Assisted Annuals are Now Outlawed unless Supervised 100%.

    There's nothing new in the interpretation. Video Apps and photos are still permitted for inspection purposes as approved by the Administrator. Commercial Aviation businesses such as Repair Stations, Airlines and Charters have General Operation Manuals (GOM). When a common maintenance task needs...

    Preventive Maintenance Training

    The answer is that no one (including A&Ps and IAs) can work on anything Aviation without the approved documents that detail the task they're doing. If you do not understand the instructions then don't perform the task. Changing oil without the approved maintenance manuals and/or Instructions for...

    Liability

    The idea is to do the 'Shotgun' claims. Just like a scammer sending out a thousand e-mails hoping just one is clicked on. Lawyers and scammers have no remorse for taking as much money as they can through emotions and fear. If they can convince you that the accident was partially your fault and...

    DC-3 on Edo 28000 Amphibian Floats

    Over the years we've commercially operated Flying Hauls and Float equipped planes in Southeast Alaska. There's some big differences. The biggest being loading and unloading. Flying Hauls do not dock well and require highly experienced technique. Most flying Hauls have wing floats that will hit...
