Mark Bonwell it’s nice and all but on the avidyne i prefer having the engine page up at all times while taxing and flying. I rather use my miracheck list that overlays FF
I know how you feel, missing your airplane! I had a good running engine in my Cherokee (7828N), it still had about 700hrs left before reaching tbo, just started leaking a small amount of oil. It was during the run up and inspection after an oil change at the beginning of June that I discovered a crack(that was leaking oil) in the right case half that ran from the oil sump to where the #3 cylinder bolts on. I was so bummed out but better to find it on the ground that’s in the air! I sent it to PennYann to have the case half replaced, new cylinders installed and overhaul everything else. It took an incredibly long 8 weeks to get it back. I enjoy your content Josh, appreciate how organized and methodical you are when it comes to flying!
There is some irony in the timing of this video as my 172M is in the Avionics Shop getting some modern radio gear and on Thursday, I took some dual in a 2008 Cirrus SR20 G3 to try it and get some flying in. This was my first exposure to “glass” panel PFD and MFDs and I found it to be a quantum leap beyond the “six pack” and legacy gauges in my 172. The engine monitoring page on the MFD was fantastic with all of that information displayed for you. As a CFI you’ll laugh at this. It was about half way through the flight before I figured out what the VSI was on the PFD. It was “oh...that’s what that is...”
Thanks for flyin over my old stomping ground. I do miss the Hill Country area. Spent lots of time around the Lago Vista and Jonestown areas along the north side of Lake Travis.
Great video Josh.. I do miss my trainer N20591 1973 C172, 180 HP, constant speed prop, powerflow exhaust, and 40 degrees of flaps. What a performer. I can't wait to see the maiden flight of 80991when you get it back. Thanks for the video!
Looking at the shots for the engine from N80991 reminds me of the flat six engines in the Chevy Corvairs. I know it's not, but it looks pretty close. BTW, people have used the Corvair engines for airplanes. Glad you're close to getting your plane back together. It's sad seeing her with her nose off.
Josh, thank you again for an amazing video. I go back and review your Alaska trip and you have made this my life's bucket list. The other being Canada to Iceland and back.
Sometimes it can be worth just getting a new engine. U get the lastest parts made out of the latest materials as they are always improving. Also if they find a crack anywhere I’ve had friends pay out more than it would of they had gone straight to continental for a new Powerplant. Also less downtime as u just take it in once the engine has arrived, normally not more than a few days plus they test fly it for you & you get the added bonus of 0 hours n the warranties. You need to weigh up which option is best for you, call the manufacturers & the overhaul guys. Ask them how much could it cost if they find the worst. Or what are the common faults found n if so how much. Then make you’re choice.
Cirrus is a nice airplane with all the latest gadgets, a flying Cadillac. But, after watching you guys and others fly the Cirrus, which is extremely nice, I would prefer a Mooney, Arrow, 172RG, etc., with good old steam gauges. I'm just ole' school and would prefer to fly the airplane myself. Thanks for the video.
That cirrus is a nice looking aircraft. I was hoping for a alaska style landing there in san marcos lol 80991 will soon be back up and flying again stay safe
Hahaha right?? I actually need to take them off for the camera when it’s that close to my face so it can see my eyes. Face detection (for autofocus) gets confused when I’m wearing sunglasses.
@@Aviation101 thank you. I've always thought it rude to talk to somebody with sunglasses on. Especially somebody you don't know personally. Chatting among friends wearing sunglasses fine, but conducting business or doing an interview, no. Thanks again!
Sorry to hear about your ride being down. Thought you had some engine work done pre Oskosh this year. Maybe that was last year and I'm just confused. Glad you'll be back in the air soon. Been missing your new weekly videos.
In my SR22 I prefer to climb in IAS not VS. Keeps the speed consistent and if climbing high and rate decreases you wont give up air speed and get the engine hot or get too slow. Descend in VS.
Seth Valentine - It was hard to hear the audio but I said and do the same thing. I start with a VS climb to clear obstacles and then transition to an IAS climb. If you listen carefully you can catch a snippet of me saying I switched the autopilot 500 ft/min climb near the ground and then to an IAS climb at 105 kias. 105 kias is a shallower climb than Vy which is ~96 kias in an SR20.
Airplane withdrawals suck. My engine went bad unexpectedly and I didn't have the money to fix it, so it's been 2 years trying to budget for it. In the meantime, to keep scratching the itch to fly, I got my Instrument, commercial, seaplane, multi, and CFI. Now I can get paid to fly.
Always love the SR flights but I have never tried that sidestick control. Not too sure I would like flying with my left hand as I have trouble doing anything left handed very well. I too will be glad to see your plane back in action.
My friend purchased a engine for his sea plane but died before getting it finished. He has done many trips for Red Cross. Flying blankets to kamel victims. Live flys people to hospitals. He was a paramedic instructor and got to evaluate the ems for Egypt’s. He worked with DOD and worked the fires in the west. Worked medical sector in New Orleans.
@@JustPlaneSilly - He actually made one to explain how he does his vids. It's a few years old, but if you check his archives, you should be able to find it.
Hi Josh, I enjoy your videos and the content. I took lessons in a Hughes 269 back in the early '60s but decided it would better if I kept my feet on the ground but I get my fix by watching videos like yours. Is there a break in period for the engine or do you just bolt it back in and it's all good? Thanks for posting and stay safe out there.
Watched a lot videos from the other places and noticed the difference in announcing direction of flight on takeoff. In So Cal, we pilots announced direction of flight on departure with straight, crosswind or downwind departure versus north, south, west, east...hum?
I own 161 PA-28 and Seneca I flew 172,177,152,150 but the best single engine the moony and bananza 36 I'm looking for beachcraft thanks for sharing the video
So.....It's been two months since this. Is the engine back together yet. I've been a mechanic my whole life and two of my brothers are A&P mechanics. Curious what problems are going on? Most likely don't want to be too transparent to the FAA ?? Can't blame you for that.
Another nice video. Question... how close to TBO did you get before deciding to overhaul or did that even factor into your decision? I know you mentioned you saw a trend in oil temps and pressures that made you decide to go forward. I'm thinking it may be time to get our Lycoming O-360 overhauled in our '77 Grumman. It's been a solid performer, but it has a lot of original hours on it. Iil consumption has been average... about 1 quart every 10 or more hours and compressions checked in the high 80's on all the cylinders except one, which was at 79 at the last annual in March. Anyway, again, great video. Love that Cirrus SR20!
We had heavy rain with hail mixed today... _twice,_ and we haven't been in the high-60s for a few weeks now. It is predicted that Cascade Mountains will be significantly colder and may get a bit more snow this winter. *Y O U R G L O B A L W A R M I N G H A S N O P O W E R O V E R T H E P A C I F I C N O R T H W E S T.*
EVA_Unit_4A North of both in Burlington....just outside the convergence zone & get to fly a lot more in better weather! Most of the better sky comes in from the NW, so it is easy to fly when you see that and the mountains to the east of Mt Vernon, or up the valley. We are so lucky to have a world class scenic area to fly in. 😎🛫
Josh, I enjoy your videos very much, but as a suggestion you need to stand still when doing the selfies, pick a spot along your arm and over the camera, like a cloud formation, and hold the camera there. The movement in the start of this video is distracting. Again, I really enjoy your work, keep it coming. E
I am doing the same with my 182 it goes in for an entire new panel and then it will get new interior. so would appreciate suggestions on interior people... Then we do an engine. I am hoping the engine does not come for at least 2 years tho....
I like the built in checklist features!! Very fancy indeed!
The garmin has that feature as well just have to set it up

Amen. Id have the engine overhauled in that case, too.
Your pilot friend has a very good voice for this. He comes across confident but relaxed all while explaining things in great detail. Enjoyed!
Hopefully your engine will be back - always nice to have the engine overhaul completed. Thanks for taking us along.
It's always a good day when I see an aviation101 vid on the feed
i can second that
Me too👍
I agree
Impressed with Charle’s knowledge of his airplane and it’s tendencies. Really nice Cirrus !
Good Stuff. I dig the way he opens the oil door in the cal for cool down. Awesome airplane.
Cheers from Louisiana.
Strange how the cleaned engine looks like a brilliant jewel !!!
Only an RC/FPV flyer, but my Son and I always anticipate your next adventure. Thank you for your fine work!

Great to see ya back in the air, Josh. Hope ya get 991 back soon!
I love the "if the engine fails" banter.. haha especially just before take of when he mentions the parachute option :D
Hivolco - It’s a good thing to brief with your DPE on your Commercial check ride.
Great friends and a excuse to go fly, Thanks Charlie for showing us your Bird..
It’s fun seeing my area from above 😊
Lago Vista is my favorite approach in the Austin area. Beautiful view!

The new engine is going to look sharp!

if your going to fly a lot have 2 engines and props on hand! Can you tell I used to work for crop dusters??
Followed you Alaska adventures that were amazing.
Can we get you a sunglass sponsor so you don’t have to squint anymore?

Beautiful plane, I'm jealous!
Great video, cool plane!
Hi again Charlie! Hope all is well!
Lake Travis awesome 😎 very nice Hill Country 😍☺️ was Landing there with Rey Asgar at Jet Ranger.
I was Co. in my Lockboog
I agree completely with you Josh about the heat. I live in Dallas, the heat makes me want to die😂

He was a paramedic instructor and got to evaluate the ems for Egypt’s. He worked with DOD and worked the fires in the west. Worked medical sector in New Orleans.
Would love to see a video on how you make your videos- cameras, audio, editing etc. thanks man.
Same

I would also love to see such a video.
Add me to the list - I’m back in the basics though - like how do you know where to put the cameras - what’s the order of priority, etc.
Gordon Feliciano I remember vaguely Josh doing one and I looked but couldn’t find which one. I imagine he has streamlined things a bit since then.

Our October last year in the middle of the Florida Panhandle was really bad with Hurricane Michael.
Thank you for your videos. They always put me in a great mood!
Charlie knows his airplane parameters well!
Josh are you going to go to a glass cockpit anytime in the future?
I love Bob's T shirt! 👍😅😅
I don't get it.
@@mattbasford6299 minutes before end of video see what's on Bob's T shirt with a chef while he's explaining parts to finish overhaul..."wert der ferk"
@@snowman100 I saw the T-shirt, I just didn't understand what it meant. I don't speak German.
26:48 Ouch. My back hurts just looking at that angle of getting the engine in there.
Have been wondering where 80991 has been!!!!!!!!
Another great video. If your every in the Odessa, TX KODO let me know. Free lunch.. lol

Before take off the Cirrus pilot mentioned a parachute. Did he mean as far a ditching the plane or the plane has its own parachute?
all cirrus planes have built in parachutes that come out the top of the plane
Buttonless hats, please! I'd love one, but whenever I wear a headset (albeit flying, or shooting) that button is hideous.
😁👍👍 keep on keeping on top of the clouds
What’s the annual cost of a 172? (maintenance) I know parking, gas, and insurance may vary.
What’s the savings using a guy like Bob vs sending it off to the manufacturer for a factory rebuild exchange or overhaul ?
Nice
No matter how hard I look, I never see the reported traffic.... It may be the GoPro angle of view - hopefully !!

Indeed!
When I read "Where is ...991", my first thought was, did he neglect to close an ifr flight plan? Then I remembered the overhaul.

Josh I'm surprised you and your dad haven't upgraded to a 182 Skylane.
Their 172 has family significance.
3:08 what is that Josh? that bar there on the taxiway
That’s the ILS hold short line. Holding short there protects the ILS localizer beam from any interference from the aircraft holding short.
Do you have the stock O-320-E2D? Or do you have the 160hp mods or the 180hp O-360?
Great having 80999/ CUT!!!! LOL!!!!!!
I need a mechanic like Bob to overhaul my Citabrias lycoming 0 235 C1
Awesome vids man
Is that a OV-1 Mohawk on the ramp?
Isn’t the io-360 a four piston and the io-540 is the six piston version?
Lycoming makes a 4 cylinder O-360 ... Continental makes the 6 cylinder IO-360
w5cdt ohhh interesting
It was interesting to me how much Charlie sounded like Chris from Baron Pilot. I look ahead and just listen to the voice. Was strange to me. lol
Can’t wait to see 991 back in air
How's 80991 coming with the engine overhaul???
I am doing the same with my 182 it goes in for an entire new panel and then it will get new interior. so would appreciate suggestions on interior people... Then we do an engine. I am hoping the engine does not come for at least 2 years tho....
When is the GFC500 going in?
Awwww, ain’t that 4 cylinder engine CUTE? ;)
What is the approximate cost to get an engine like that overhauled?
