- After the catastrophic engine failure in April and off airport landing, the wings were separated from the fuselage, and the plane trucked some 2.5 hours south in Springfield Ohio. Waiting her turn in the maintenance queue, the new engine was received and the quality staff at Lone Mountain put her back together. While I was at OSH on Wednesday, we were notified she was ready to come home. So Thursday afternoon, a couple pilots flew me out to KSGH for the pick up. Join me as I turn the key for the first time since the engine was replaced and the plane reassembled. The anticipation had been building over the last three months, As I sat inside the cockpit, I felt a range of emotions, including exhilaration, happiness, and a bit of apprehension. It was time to bring her back. Join me for her trip from Springfield, OH to Hangar 5 at Chicago Executive Airport. Welcome Home!
Mark, we met just today, I’m in awe, simple yet precise video experience. I feel like I’ve been flying. Thank you! DB
Hey Dan. Enjoyed the conversation. Hope your New Year celebration was safe and fun. Let's find a time to go flying.
Love that sr22!
me 2!
This was a great video to see, congrats on getting your baby back, Marc!!
A couple issues to work out, including the alternator. Fingers crossed we are back in the air before the weekend. Thanks for being part of the family.
@@pfflying6275 happy to be a part of it! 🙂🙏
Wow. That’s a short turnaround! Glad she’s back.
A bit of an understatement.... SO AM I.
Welcome home SD!
Couldn't have said it better myself.
Awesome! Thank you for keeping us updated on this incredible story.
So much fun doing this and glad people like you are interested. Thanks.
Beautiful plane
Thanks. But aren't they all? ;-)
Glad to see you back. Can’t wait to hear about the final report. I fly the same type of SR 22
You have a G3? Normally aspirated? I'm interested to hear more and compare notes if you're interested.
I meant same type. I have a practically new SR 22 G5 normally aspirated.
@@josec4790 I've thought about the G5 for the GW increase the flap speed increase. Chicago approach loves to keep us fast until the final approach fix, and with the 119 knot flap max, it makes it difficult.
I'm so happy to see her back in the air!!!
I cannot believe you got her back so quickly in this environment!
Have some follow up maintenance issues, but fingers crossed that she will be back in the air later today. Can't wait.
I would stay close to the field with the new engine.
Glad she made it back!
Easy to agree. Thanks.
Glad you got it back!
me 2. Flying is addicting. But we all know that.
Nice job.😊
Thank you.
Mark, fantastic story and I watched it on Finer points during your podcast with Jason. I fly out of PWK and hanger 5 and I am cirrus student too. I have seen your plane many times in hanger and took off behind it couple weeks back too. Would love to catch up sometime if you are here.
Anish, thanks for commenting and reaching out. I'd enjoy meeting with you to do some hangar flying and go for a ride in 973SD. Let me know when you'll be at Hangar 5.
Great Video!
Thanks!
I think a paper checklist is faster than having to dig it up in the screen.
For the love of god, if you know what caused the engine failure, tell the rest of us out here flying the same platform.
I will. In the spirit of wanting to be factual and fair, it's best I wait for the official report, which is not out yet.
Appreciate the thoughtfulness in your flying and great work in all of your videos! Any idea how much longer till we know what happened to this engine?
It's a frustrating experience. I will just say this. Based on two forensic analysis events at two different shops, I believe it was maintenance induced and had to do with a torque value not being correct. This resulted in a bearing shifting and cutting off the oil supply which resulted in the catastrophic engine failure. That's all I can say at this point. ;-)
4:25 "I am so excited to be in my airplane" 😀 was the alternator 2 issue anything to worry about?
So we checked out the Alternator and actually ordered a refurbished one, but that wasn't the issue. Turned out to be a Field Control Unit, which we have ordered. While in there it was discovered the new prop governor was leaking oil, so that was sent back, reworked and put back in the plane today. So once I get the FCU, we should be in business. Frustrating that we lose another weekend of flying, but nothing we can do about that. Thanks for checking in.
how getting a da-62? if an engine goes in the da-62 you'll have one other. plus, those look like they could glide for days.
DA-62 is a great plane. I have a couple of partners in this plane and I am the only multi-rated pilot. Plus my wife wants the chute. Plus I love the SR22. She's part of the family. ;-)
@@pfflying6275 i understand. i love the parachute feature. i guess the next innovation in chutes for planes will be a chute one could steer to a touch down. that could be very useful.
NO!!! On first startup you start taxi, do NOT stop and GO when you get to the runway, do your mag check IN THE AIR.' Whomever taught you what to do lied their ass off to you.
The plane had already been through its first start up and first flight by the maintenance shop. The reason you do not want to wait until you are in the air is if you have a bad mag, you want to know that on the ground. That happened to me. Sure I could take off and the other mag would keep me flying.... UNLESS it failed too and then I am SOL.
