NEW ENGINE! Break In Flight - Private Pilot Cessna 172

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 ก.ย. 2024
- After a prop strike back on October, my flying club put the plane down, and the plane owners replaced the old Continental O-300 with a newly overhauled one. We're now in the break-in phase, and I'm taking the plane out for its sixth break in hour.

Great video, Chris. Not many people realize what's involved with breaking in a new engine. The first several hours are extremely critical and can help to ensure the engine lasts until TBO. :)
Great content, sir.
This made me want to go back and do a few laps in the first plane I solo’d in!
Hi Chris, Good job flying the break in procedure and doing the paperwork. When our club had an engine rebuild we luckily had enough people available that we could go up in pairs. One guy flew while the other read out instructions and filled out the paperwork. Cheers
Just came across your channel…great. I’ve just done an full overhaul on my 182, so I know how painful it is. Just coming up to hour 10 on the 182. And had brand new magneto die on me … oh well took about 7 days to get another new one in and so far so good. I look forward to more of your videos.
Some may say breaking in an engine is boring, but I say any excuse to fly is a good excuse! 😁
It’s a beautiful plane, and I’m very glad to see it back in service. I think the logo on the cowl might be my favorite part of it.
I like that you contacted Flight Following as a second set of eyes to look out for you as you ran your tests. 😃🤙🏻
My Mid-Life Pilot adventure. The flying club I joined only had a PA28-180 at the field I trained at (F70) but really wanted to train in a C172. Oh well. So now that I have my PPL I’m getting checked out in a C172 at the airport rental facility close to my home. Thanks so much for your videos.
My aviation background: I was born and raised in the birthplace of aviation; W.P.A.F.B., Dayton, Ohio. My dad flew in the Navy. As a teen in the mid 70's I would walk to a little country airport (I44) and sit at the end of the runway and watch the airplanes take off and land. I'd chat with the pilots and eventually, the FBO offered me a job as a line-boy. I'd fuel and clean airplanes. While there I took some flying lessons and completed ground school. So at 15 years old, I was flying airplanes before I was driving cars :-) But life happened and I ran out of money and time. In High School, I started a vocational Airframe & Powerplant course, but I struggled with the math and couldn't complete the class. However, I never lost my love of aviation. I spent many a weekend at the National Museum of the USAF at W.P.A.F.B. Every year I'd attend the Dayton International Airshow.
Fast-Forward Four and a half decades later.........
Towards the end of 2021, I was forced to sell my beloved '79 MGB British Roadster. I was determined to get my Private Pilot Certificate using the funds from the sale.
I turned 60 years old on December 21, 2022. It was goal to earn my Private Pilot Certification by then.

WHAT AN ADVENTURE!!
Enjoyed the video. Glad to see 52L back online 😊
Nice job with this video. Lots of good information plus great editing as well. Enjoyed.
Great to see you back in 52L!
How come you haven't been flying the Cherokee 235?
Why do you want flight following if you are planning on orbiting the field?
Great question! I get flight following anytime I’m flying. I like the extra help with traffic callouts. Our field isn’t busy, and because I was 1,000 feet above pattern altitude, there was always the possibility of transient traffic in the area.
What was that at 4:47?
A bug flying around in the plane that was driving me crazy. Haha. He flew right by the GoPro!
