- Is it possible to bring a neglected Cessna 150 back to life after sitting unused? Join me as I tackle this challenge at the Part 147 aviation maintenance school where I teach. This aircraft became a student project last semester, but unfortunately, some incorrect work left it grounded. Now, it's my turn to step in and set things right.
In this detailed video, we'll go through the process of assessing the Cessna 150's current condition, identifying the mistakes made by students, and making the necessary repairs to get it flying again. From basic troubleshooting to more intricate fixes, I'll guide you through each step of revitalizing this classic trainer aircraft.
Watch as we transform a classroom lesson into a practical success story, demonstrating the real-world applications of aviation maintenance education and the importance of correct procedures. This video is perfect for aviation students, instructors, and anyone interested in the mechanics of getting an airplane back in the air after an extended period of downtime.

Love the phrase of Everything is a hammer unless it's a screwdriver. Then it's a chisel. Our phrase in A&P school was "You can fix anything with a 5 pound sledgehammer and a crowbar
I push so hard on my students to use the right tools, I pray they don't watch this video
@@brycebuildsit Too late, we're already watching it. 😁
Like the old saying about a carpenter - EVERYTHING LOOKS LIKE A NAIL !
I also enjoy watching BLANCOLIRIO with Juan Brown and PILOT DEBRIEF with HOOVER, all about aviation mishaps and crashes
Worked on and ran engines on that exact Cessna 150 when I was going to school there back in 2007/2008. Great A&P school with awesome instructors. Glad to see they still have all the same planes there and some new ones.
We are planning to start upgrading a lot of our training equipment after 20 years. Some of its getting pretty torn up, but same I went through the program back in 2013, and it's remarkably the same as it was.
That is great to hear. You probably had some of the same instructors as I did as well. But I heard through one of the guys at work that just finished school there that Weaver retired. Really glad for him and it was well deserved. Hope the school has been seeing an increase in enrollment for aircraft mechanics because the field could really use it. A lot of the experience is retiring and now it's up to us to teach the next generation of mechanics
Yeah, they are all slowly leaving, Nunnele is the only O.G. left. Cotter, Weaver, Haral, Han, Brista, Heath, and Jewell all retired. So did Ramos and Rivera years ago. It's kinda scary for us, new guys. we are taking over a legacy with enormous shoes to fill. I just hope I can live up to their knowledge
I recommend just leaving out trying to explain what mechanics may or may not be able to do.
Thanks for the excellent explanation of the purpose of the capacitor in the magneto!
It's interesting. As simple as magnetos are, if any one piece does not work, the whole thing won't.
Hi i pass my general writing oral and practical and I also pass my writing for the airframe and I pass the oral expect the practical so my question is my general writing expired. Do I have to retake only the writing or oral and practical too ?
What was the problem with the carb check valve? It sounded like it might be cross-threaded when you were trying to unscrew it.
It was just clogged, the threads had corroded due to water wich is why it didn't want to come out (the whole systemwas clogged with gunk too.). I didn't film it but I ended up having to drill it out and tap it. But I had a new carb anyway.
@@brycebuildsit Thanks for the reply. I heard that high pitched chirp when you were backing it out, and when I've heard that sound doing similar work with aluminum devices it always meant trouble. Great channel !
Nice video! Do 150s generally start that easy?
Mine takes a lot more cranking, sometimes up to three attempts regardless of OAT or if the engine has been running. This is not the first video I am seeing where a 150 starts so easily and I am starting to think I have an issue. I suspect it may be related to my carb. Do engines act like this if a carb is due for an overhaul?
I can get most 150s started in 2 to 4 cranks. Sometimes 1 if I primed it right. It really all comes down to how well you primed it, how strong the mags are, and the ambient temp.
Try this next time, sump the water out a d give the primer 3 shots of fuel. Then do your preflight. The idea is all that fuel will start to evaporate and sit in the induction manifold so when your preflight is done and you hit the starter you'll have all those fuel vapors sitting in the manifold just waiting for some compression and spark.
@@brycebuildsit oh neat idea! Thanks, I'll give that a shot.
It really helps when the Temps are below 40.
3:39 is crazy lol
It's a good thing none of my students were standing there. I would never hear the end of it.
I know this maybe COMPLETELY random but could a Airplane mechanic become a good Auto Mechanic? I'm curious because all the research I've seen is conflicting about this. Some say you can, some say it's not really transferable because working on a airplane is much different than a car. I want to work on my own cars as well for fun in the future!
They are completely different but incredibly the same. Yes, an A&P can be a good car mechanic it's just a different mindset when it comes to troubleshooting. With that being said, I haven't taken my car to a mechanic for 14 years until recently because after you do certain things, the computer needs software...
@@brycebuildsit omg THANK YOU SO MUCH YOUR THE BEST!!
I'm OK at best, make sure you leave a comment on my latest video to get entered for my 5,000 subscriber giveaway
@@brycebuildsit ok I will!
OK let me guess where you are working - San Antonio TX !
I was thinking of working at a flight school too, ERAU is always hiring - good place to work ?
OR teaching in a 147 school. Do you have problems with these days students being lazy ?
I am in San Antonio, and I do not say exactly what school I'm at for liability reasons, but I do not teach at Hallmark, and our school is a community college. That should narrow things down, lol.
I am unfamiliar with ERAU, so I can't form an opinion on them. But I personally love it most of the "lazy" or otherwise "disinterested" students drop after their first semester, so by the time we get to Airframe and PowerPlant, the groups are pretty good. We do struggle a little bit with people showing up late and / or cutting out early, but we usually do a good job of handling it.
I love it but I also love wrenching, which is part of why I keep my business running. With the time off that I have I am fortunate to be able to enjoy both.
@@brycebuildsit OK, that sounds perfect, to know the lazy bail out early. Is not an easy thing to learn, you keep up or you FAIL and leave. Had some horrible teachers in OKLA. but at least I got my AF.
I bought and sold cars PT for 25 years using a friends license, loved it. Was building Chevy V8's in my Mom's living room at 17 for my Chevy Impala SS hotrod, then into Alfa Romeos for years.
ALSO have a GROL from being the ET on big container ships and into ham radio- maybe avionics is something I should look at, although don't do 'to component level' troubleshooting. Lot of electrical experience too.
Started flying too in HS and flew off and on for 20 years for fun with friends. Have 85 hours but no PPL. Would like to get that one day although haven't flown in 15 years.
Owned a very cool Stinson 108-2 in 2001
LOT of shit I need to do before I'm dead !
Keep up the good work, just found you today ! I like no BS people !
@@brycebuildsit GOT IT ! The 'other' SA school !
BEST school in Florida is obviously Embry Riddle, 2nd not far behind is Broward CC in Hollywood FL N Perry airport.
ERAU only does a degree, BCC does the certs.
MY favorite airplanes I flew in the day were Grummans - Cheetah, Tigers (little Ferraris) , a CUB and my Stinson 108-2 with a Franklin. Cessnas are boring, except for CARAVANS.
MY GOAL is to work on CARAVANS, got offered a job on them if I had my PP.
Any ideas on that ?
Maybe Fedex feeders like Mountain Air Cargo, they hire for Miami and Puerto Rico
Fed ex or a sky dive operation is the best shot at working on caravans in my opinion. Shy of moving to Alaska of course
@@brycebuildsit From Tampa, Alaska's too cold for me, been there on a tanker into Valdez. Pretty but freezing.
If you have not seen the YT videos out of Botswana Africa BUSH PILOT, that is real awesome flying into the game reserves out of Maun.
ANYWAY, good to meet you today, don't know how I never saw your videos before
