- Every certified aircraft requires an annual inspection in order to maintain its Certificate of Airworthiness. This process can strike dread into the hearts and wallets of aircraft owners but I am here to tell you that the annual inspection is a very good thing and something that we should embrace (literally). Join me as I have a good chat with Blaine Field from Brant Aero as we discuss aircraft annual inspections and specifically, my pride and joy, C-GRBR.

I fly for fun and adventure and I strive to be the best, safest and most professional pilot that can be at all times but I am far from perfect. I have not been flying for a long time (since April 2015) but I always strive to be better. This channel is part of that process and another piece of the puzzle for me. I fly with as many people as I can and I seek out instructors and mentors whenever possible and I recommend that you do as well. I make sure that everyone I share the cockpit with with fits my style of flying and learning and that they can help me take my adventure higher.
Producing this TH-cam channel has made me grow as a pilot and for that I am truly thankful. Scouring through all the footage has shown me my strengths and weaknesses and that process has been humbling to say the least. I recommend videoing your own flights, watching them with an open mind and maybe even sharing them. There has been a lot of great feedback and wisdom in the comments on my videos as well. I always appreciate the constructive and almost always positive feedback. Keep it coming!
Please note that my videos are highly edited and some of the context of these flights is altered in order to keep the story moving. These videos are for entertainment purposes only and should not be considered a replacement for professional instruction by a certified flight instructor.
Cessna Skymaster is such a wonderful looking plane!
Exceptional aircraft
Like you I am a fan of both 337s and Lakes. After watching this and saw you bring up the motivational poster, I was reminded of a sign I saw at an armed forces repair facility in BC. It read :
There are certain qualities needed in people who dedicate their lives to aircraft maintenance. They hold , not the whole world, but somebody's life, hope, dreams and love, in their hands. If we, as aircraft maintainers, falter in our tasks and allow these bright shining things to slip through our hands like water to become mud in the dust below, we have not only lost them but also the purpose that gives our lives meaning. It is a great and sacred trust to hold somebody's world in your hands.
Thanks for showing us a good example of a facility that is doing it right.
Hello Dave. Thank you for this comment. I will be sure to pass it along to the good folks who maintain my pride and joy.
Very informative! Thank you
very informative , thanks for the video
✋🌞👍Nailed it!
Yeah, my 10 year prop overhaul last year was painful $
5 bad probes!! What a great and educational story.
You just never know what kinds of curve balls your airplane is going to throw your way. This is why a great AMO is such a valuable asset!
I heard a mechanic refer to older planes as vintage, and to be respected as preserving a piece of aviation history.
Does the hug constitute bribing an official. No offense, but in this case that would be a NOOO😂
Interesting piece … previous geezer drew down the value; you are in effect rebuilding it to almost new
Corrosion control is key
Bit of an angle on that electrical cable on that temp sensor or pressure switch at 8:38-8:41. Looks a bit tight...
Good eye. I'll check it out.
😂huggable John,😂
Brant Aero, is a great place for avionics,Josh, Dan, and the crew are pros, I love that Pat test flies and gets “ALL” the bugs out before u pickup your plane. 👍👍
Agreed. I am lucky to have them on my team for sure.
Isn’t there still a limit life of 5000 hrs on the wing spar in the non pressurized that the P models don’t have
I am at a mere 1900 hours so I don't worry about such things. I did do some research and there does appear to be a wing spar AD that is due at 5K. I doubt that will be my problem.
@@tomairtv Tom, your skymaster is a beautiful example. I had a 73 P model with riley esk paint scheme N32S with 3100 hours. I loved that airplane. Twin engine redundancy, with no chance of asymmetric thrust if one is lost. “Doctor proof” Enjoy yours!!
So one year, no matter how many hours?
Yes, one annual inspection each year but there are other components in the plane that are on slightly different schedules so if I fly a lot sometimes those items come up even more often (oil changes etc.).
@@tomairtvI do enjoy your videos. Very informative and intelligently challenging.
Errmmm ... my '69--very much American--has zinc chromate.
Good to know. I thought it was just the Reims French 337s that had it. One less thing I can brag about...😪
