Great video, and nice plane! It's nice to see someone keep their aircraft for as long as you have, still fly it regularly, and keep it in excellent condition.
Interesting tour around the aircraft, but surely an annual isn't just looking at the items; would be 100% more useful to find out exactly what is done/inspected/tested with each item mentioned.
+Leandro Guzman The normal time for a full annual on a 182 is approximately 18 hours. That includes all the removal and replacement of interior, inspection plates, cowling, spark plugs, etc. I was able to do about 8 hours myself. The rest is done by and A&P.
Fred Schumacher And more specifically, AN A&P with Inspection Authorization (IA). The “Annual” inspection of the aircraft under 14 CFR 43, Appendix D can NOT be delegated to an A&P mechanic. A mechanic however can perform maintenance to correct the deficiencies found during the inspection.
You just gave me my first insights into what an annual inspection is and what's involved. I appreciate it!

Did you say that the turn coordinator was an auto pilot ?
The autopilot is inside the turn coordinator
OK, this is new to me. Thank you for letting me know.
Why do these light aircraft always have crappy looking Interiors? Seats and side trim look like they came from a 1972 lada
