    Yingling Aviation maintenance review

    The SCAT provides cooling, it is connected to an air intake on the bottom of the cowl. Safety, helps with hot starts, and the TC requires it. The holes are allowing the air to not flow properly.

    How long have you been using an iOS or Android EFB?

    I use it and like it. It connects to the GTX345 for ADS-B weather and traffic, although nexrad radar no longer works.

    Yingling Aviation maintenance review

    It is fire-sleeved, but still it should not be routed where it is. I requested multiple times to have all the SCAT replaced and they did not replace any of it. Some is so mangled, they must have had a hard time getting it over the fuel lines.

    Yingling Aviation maintenance review

    Here is a photo of some of the SCAT tubing they installed. The back side is in even worse shape. Also note how close this is to the turbo. The main fuel line is inside that SCAT! It is supposed to be routed forward of the throttle body and fuel/air control unit, it was properly routed before...

    Yingling Aviation maintenance review

    Flying several states away back to Yingling to rectify the discrepancies did not seem like a viable solution to me. I tried to rectify a lot of the issues while the aircraft was still there, but they were dismissive or ignored me. A partial refund would work best, for example I should be...

    Yes, several states away. I went there because they used to be a good shop.

    How long have you been using an iOS or Android EFB?

    Yes I know, I like and use Avare. Garmin Pilot, Fltplan Go and ForeFlight are the only ones that work with the GTX345 and ForeFlight does not work on Android, leaving only two.

    Approach into DVT

    I always go into DVT IFR, but have no issues going through Luke, I don't think they will give you any trouble VFR either.

    FFS. I need a new hobby.

    I just do not understand the aviation industry. You get better service purchasing a $15,000 new car... In aviation they give you a big bill, but do not want to stand behind it.

    The cost of new aircraft is what is preventing selling new airplanes.

    He is going to start instructing someone to get a multi rating in a Cessna 310 so that should help him with other opportunities.

    Yingling Aviation maintenance review

    I did not pay with a credit card. I asked for a refund on some items, like the torn up silicone baffle. They offered to send a small piece so I could replace part of it. If I bought a new car (which cost less than this did) and the leather seats had a tear in them, I would not want a patch...
