@jimmy Burnett fire extinguishers. Trevor Jacob bailed out of his plane with a fire extinguisher strapped to each leg under his trousers so that if his crashed plane caught fire he had a chance of putting it out.
I'm very happy to hear that the engine shop is standing behind his work. That's really good to know that he's a honorable and ethical businessman. There are so few like him these days that he should be recognized and recommended to others. I know that if I lived in your area I wouldn't hesitate to bring my engine work to his shop.
Owning the mistake is key. Be it a business or an employee that works for you, if they own the mistake and learned from it give them a second chance. Very unlikely that same mistake will be made again.
No choice man, catastrophic failure on a new overhaul, if it goes to court all storage, legal, and repair fees are an absolute win plus damages. You would be stupid to take this to court as afterwards it would cost you 10 times what the repair would. It's not ethics they wanted to stay in the industry. And no in aviation one time is too many would never use their service, are you kidding me.
@@themanthemyththelegend1392 I disagree over the one time is too many comment. No single shop will ever be perfect 100% of the time because us humans are inherently imperfect. You have a choice: A) the shop that has made a mistake took care of it and improved their processes to reduce the chance of a reoccurrence. and B) the shop that has not made a catastrophic mistake yet.
I DIED LAUGHING when I saw the extinguishers on your legs!!!!! I know where THAT came from! (Trevor).. WOW that engine really tore itself up! That is wonderful that the shop is being so accommodating to you!
Love the fire extinguishers! I’m encouraged to hear that your engine shop is helping to correct the problem. I hope it fell under their insurance. I wish I was having the same experience with my fuel tank repair shop!😖 Good to hear that some shops have integrity.
You must not know how lawsuits work. His negligence wrecked the engine sure, but the cost of the failure was ten times the cost of replacing a few parts...the owner is liable for all of that...a hundred thousand dollars at least... the owner got a bargain not being sued, lol....
I’m glad to hear the shop is doing the right thing, and making go for a misfortunate mistake or mishap, happier still it didn’t cost you your plane or your life. It’s also nice to hear they are changing policy to eliminate that from happening again. Rather than broadcasting their name maybe they can just have you be a reference for them, when they have clients looking for that. That sounds like a shop worth using. I’m also glad you don’t have to pull a Trevor, but at least you’re prepared, just in case.
I agree. I would absolutely trust that shop based on these events. Everybody makes mistakes, but how a company responds when they happen says a lot about them.

I'm glad to hear the shop had stand by their work (and more), especially when there was a major failure. I hope the shop get's more business due to their integrity.
BAAAwaaaaahahahahahahaha!!! I love the trevor ending!!!!! It was great meeting you in Ft. Worth a few weeks ago. You have a captivating story about how all this went down. Keep those cameras running!
Glad everything turned out well and what a stand-up move for the engine shop to make everything right. Love the dig at the end....don't forget the selfie stick!
Dude how you kept a straight face walking through the gate with those fire extinguishers jangling! 🤣 Brilliant! So glad to hear you are getting your engine sorted and thanks for taking the time to explain and step through what happened. 👍 Well done
@@grayrabbit2211 HUGE delays in parts right now :( Lycoming told me over a YEAR wait for the cylinders I needed. Luckily Millennium was about to provide some within 3 months.
@@austinformedude We're currently waiting on parts from Cessna as well and it's been at least a 5 month wait there. If you think that's bad, I was asking Lenovo (computers) about new servers. Some of the configurations would be delayed by more than 60 weeks. By that time they'd be well outdated! Our Lenovo rep smartly suggested we buy on the used market to hold us over until (if?) things get back to normal.
@@austinformedude Oh, I've known that for some time. On the IT side of things, I've always been given crap for keeping old "junk" around. I keep enough spare parts on-hand and redundancy to rebuild everything once over. It was immensely helpful over the past two years. It's great peace of mind being able to pillage my own parts stash rather than worrying about locksdowns, supply chain and shipping breakdowns, etc.
Great update! I am glad the shop is taking care of you and the lawyers are not feasting on this. That ending was brilliant. I was laughing out loud. Good flying.
I am totally fed up with Trevor comment videos.....Your ending is PERFECT!!!! The question is did it blow up and you jumped out.....you did such a good job landing it last time....who posted this video??? Whoever posted this, THANKS you made my day!
Being mentally prepared is such an important thing. That's why pilots always should discuss their limits and plans for a go around just in case it happens. You handled this exceptionally well. You stayed calm, flew the plane, got yourself back to the runway safely and communicated your issue to others. This is actually were newer pilots can outperform experienced pilots, experience with no issues causes complacency you don't mentally go over what to do and expect an engine failure on takeoff.
I’ve been waiting to hear the results. You may remember that I said the problem that produced the metal in the oil had to be in the bottom end. I’m very happy to hear that the shop took responsibility and stood by their work. Looking forward to seeing how the test flight goes.
A very nice concise explanation about what happened to your engine and all the data collected. The end of the video got your mother scared again and now you have to deal with her again. Also that parachute is way too small for someone your size, I know since I have much experience jumping out of perfectly good aircraft and helicopters, get a bigger chute or your landing is going to be much harder than an airplane crash! Been there, done that, got the bad knees to show for it (no T Shirt though).
I've seen a few of those counterweights come off over the years. There is an array of different configurations depending engine part number. Even the pins have different part numbers depending on position. It would be very easy to mess up installing the circlip retaining the plates and consequently the pins. We include a duplicate inspection on those circlips during assembly to avoid the issue you have experienced. Good to hear that the shop stepped up and did what they needed to do. Love the extinguisher pants!
I'm glad the engine shop did the right thing ,and replaced everything. I am looking forward to your test flight . And I want to see how your new interior looks when that is done!
I am so happy for you that the engine shop did the honorable thing and remedied their mistake with regards to your engine. I sincerely hope that your test flight was uneventful and that you have regained full confidence once again in your aircraft. I enjoyed your video and look forward to your next one.
Not many shops would do anything close to this. You sir have a great engine shop keep them in business and help send work to them. Any shop that would do the right thing like this is a keeper 👌
That Engine shop. Wow, i will have to listen again to this video for the name of the shop. I really like how they stood behind the work. I also REALLY like how they looked at the procedures in hopes of correcting processes.
Great to hear the engine shop is standing behind their work. I was an auto mechanic for about 10 years and things happen. It's what they do when something happens that shows what kind of shop they are. Also, excellent idea strapping on the fire extinguishers. You just never know when you might need them! 😂
I am a retired Airline Pilot, Flight Instructor, Check Airman, and FAA designee. IMHO Your decision to return to the airport, even though you were well aware of the common instructor pilot admonition against that was obviously the correct decision. I was really pleased to see you point out the empty field in front of you and your explanation of why you did not choose it. That instantaneous decision your good situational awareness and feel for the airplane at that time, I believed saved your life.I loved your reporting and documentation of the event. I wish all pilots were as well prepared for an engine failure as you were. Congratulations or a Great Job well done.
I had a '76 T210 with a TSIO-520 R explode about seven years ago. This is the same engine in your 210. The engine was mid time with no unusual issues. Mine resulted in an off airport landing with no injury. The insurance adjuster noted that he has seen several 210's with this engine have catastrophic failures. Yours isn't the first to suffer a failure. You handled the situation very well and walked away. I'd fly with you anytime. Jim
I’m really glad that your engine shop is honest and took care of you. That could have gone bad in so many ways. If that had let loose over downtown Los Angeles it would’ve probably been fatal. And a huge shout out to that shop for being honest.
Now you have an engine. Good guy stands behind his shop work. Good thing you may have sped up the counterweight failure so ya made it back safe. Thanks for follow up. God speed with you
So glad I read the comments because I missed the Trevor backhand on the first go around. Well played indeed!! I too think the engine shop deserves a shout out. I’m sure we can all think of businesses who faced with eating a bill of this size would have blamed the failure on a part they didn’t touch and said it wasn’t their fault. But this shop did the opposite. They have stepped up on done the right thing. Every shop can make a mistake. What separates the great ones is what happens after that mistake becomes apparent. This shop did the right thing and would certainly have my trust in the future.
Hahahah loved the ending, you're amazing! Please play back the video of your engine out incident. Both as you're coasting down the end of the runway, and at the intro as the other person is walking up, you can see BIG trails of oil on the ground. May be an indication of what happened.
Great news that he's standing behind the engine. I'd be a little nervous since his original work was so bad, but hopefully he was more careful this time.
Edward, That was was an outstanding post engine failure analysis. Also sounds like the response from the engine shop was great. Wishing you many trouble free fun filled hours of flying in the future.
Good that everything worked out for you. That the engine shop is standing behind their work and replacing the FFW is great. It's also a lot cheaper than what it would have cost them if your response was just a bit slower in handling that engine failure in flight had ended with an uncontrolled impact. You have handled this incredibly well and with far better attitude than most. Oh that end scene!
lol, love the end. I've already seen a counterweight detach because the circlips, on a Pawnee Brave with a 300 hp Lycoming IO-540. At the time we were lucky that it happened during the routine run-op before takeoff, that hapened about 10hs TMOH. The engine was also destroyed. Enjoy the new engine. Thanks
Props to the shop for coming through, Ending was brilliant. Nervous cant really explain how your feeling taking off in that plane for the first time after having it overhauled.
As others have said I'm glad to hear that the shop is standing behind their work. That said I have to wonder if your high profile on social media (at least compared to most other people) had any affect on their decision. ......and the ending of the video was awesome : )
Thanks, the day it happened I had 60 subscribers and 80 hours watched content. He was standing behind the work before it blew up, I simply sent him a photo right after it happened and he starting making arrangements right away. A truly stand up guy.
The best you can do is have a good attitude about a bad situation. You made the best of it and I’m very happy for you. Very knowledgeable and a good sense of humor. Subscribed for sure.
Good that the shop is standing behind their work. I could just as easily have seen them trying to blame you for grabbing the wrong knob, which obviously had zero effect on what happened. Now on to the next vid.
OMG...what an awesome attitude!!! Funniest thing I have seen in a long time!!!! Great learning opportunity and it comes with a few laughs...THANK YOU!!!
I’m not a subscriber. I probably won’t be, but this story came across my TH-cam back a few days after you had your engine out and I’ve been following it. First off, as a fellow flyer of a quiet aircraft that should be making noise, bravo! Your execution of a forced landing was impeccable. Nobody actually knows how they’ll respond to a true EP until it happens and you kept it cool as a cucumber. Secondly, it’s very cool that you were able to dissect this incident with the engine management system cameras and other equipment you had available to you on your flight. Nobody ever plans to capture a catastrophe (besides the not so subtlety referenced Trevor Jacob). Thirdly, Good on the engine shop. Aviation is 90% crooks, 9% normal people, and 1% great people. I believe you have yourself a 1% engine shop.
Dude, your killing me. I never expected to see that and I would not know what it was about had I not just watched the Trevor Jacob video, and associated backlash. Absolutely hilarious. On more serious note, it looks like you picked a class act for the engine repairs and I applaud that engine shop. While it probably should not have happened in the first place, at least he is standing by the work. Again, congratulations.
Thanks for thorough analysis of the whole event! So glad that there was no fire in the engine bay with fuel line ripped and hot oil splashing all over place.
WOW - great emergency reaction flying skills and....just freakin great luck having enough seconds on the clock and height to glide back! ...it was heartwarming to hear the shop stood by their repair and set you right -- stay safe!
Hahaha well done. Love the ending. Glad to hear there's still engine shops that will accept responsibility and provide good old fashioned customer service even indirectly. Pass on my respect to them. 👍
Very impressive! The company backed their work! Amazing in this day and age!!! That old engine came apart big time! Glad you are safe, and the outcome looks to be very positive!! 👍🧙🏼♂️
Good luck for the first flight on "new" engine. This is the type of flight where most problems tend to occur -- as you obviously know. I look forward to seeing your next vid on your safe return.
Just watched your last two posts and then this one. Excellent production, content and delivery. I just hit subscribe. Would definitely enjoy hearing more from you,,,, I would fly with you anytime.
I know that you had a problem with the first overhaul with your mechanic, but as a fellow mechanic let me say this: The man is standing behind his word, and rebuilding all of this firewall forward for you. In this day and age, a man like this is few and far between. Chalk up the loss of the first motor, and stick with this mechanic, he sounds like a real stand-up dude. Good on that shop for making it right, and making it right so dang fast!!!! Happy flying friend
Awesome update! Glad to hear the shop owner is standing behind is work, but at this point I wouldn't trust him with my lawn mower engine. His shop's poor workmanship could have cost you your life.
Dude, Glad your safe, and it's really refreshing to hear that shop owned their mistakes and made right, hope the engine gives you 100s of hours of safe, smooth operation since being completely rebuilt!
Edward, what a fabulous set of videos you did plus all the analysis included in them. You did the most competent true emergency recovery I've ever seen and I'm glad to know you are on the way to another test. Like you I fly and I'm currently making a DIY video about O-360 teardown/rebuild. I've learned many things about parts and rebuilding philosophies much of which you noted including the owner/mechanic relationships. Like you I've recently transitioned to RG/HP and regard that as a very big step. I'm really impressed with your cool deconstruction of the various facts. That helps me to look forward to having my own engine monitor not yet installed. These sorts of videos form a basic foundation for all aspects of pilot ownership. Importantly, you were able to share a horrible situation on YT and you lived to fly another day. I too occasionally fly out of Tracy and I thank you for the included bit about those untouched houses. The antiaircraft temperature is rising around there in what was once a deserted dirt strip, but no longer is. I can only imagine the costs and additional damage had you not made the field, so again I salute your cool headed recovery and hope I never have to do one.
Just stumbled onto your channel this morning. Absolutely love the way this played out. HOWEVER - major bonus points for the closing scene with 'chute and fire bottles at the ready :-)
The walk away from the camera is brilliant. Well played sir, well played.
such an amazing subtle nod to our favorite pilot with two first names trevor jacob

The shop owner has some serious integrity standing behind his work making things right. 👏

Thanks, the day it happened I had 60 subscribers and 80 hours watched content. He was standing behind the work before it blew up, I simply sent him a photo right after it happened and he starting making arrangements right away. A truly stand up guy.
The best you can do is have a good attitude about a bad situation. You made the best of it and I’m very happy for you. Very knowledgeable and a good sense of humor. Subscribed for sure.
that cracked me up when those 2 fire extinguishers showed up on camera. kidding aside, that was an excellent airmanship!
Good that the shop is standing behind their work. I could just as easily have seen them trying to blame you for grabbing the wrong knob, which obviously had zero effect on what happened. Now on to the next vid.
I didn't see that coming. Well done!
OMG...what an awesome attitude!!! Funniest thing I have seen in a long time!!!! Great learning opportunity and it comes with a few laughs...THANK YOU!!!
Glad all things are sorted now... but that ending nailed it! Always fly with parachute, u know :D Greetings from germany.
Wow Mate.
Great to see the engine shop standing by their work and their customers.
Great result all round actually.
Man I'm so happy this is gonna work out for you in the end.
Love the T.J walk away that was awesome.
I’m not a subscriber. I probably won’t be, but this story came across my TH-cam back a few days after you had your engine out and I’ve been following it.
First off, as a fellow flyer of a quiet aircraft that should be making noise, bravo! Your execution of a forced landing was impeccable. Nobody actually knows how they’ll respond to a true EP until it happens and you kept it cool as a cucumber.
Secondly, it’s very cool that you were able to dissect this incident with the engine management system cameras and other equipment you had available to you on your flight. Nobody ever plans to capture a catastrophe (besides the not so subtlety referenced Trevor Jacob).
Thirdly,
Good on the engine shop. Aviation is 90% crooks, 9% normal people, and 1% great people. I believe you have yourself a 1% engine shop.
Dude, your killing me. I never expected to see that and I would not know what it was about had I not just watched the Trevor Jacob video, and associated backlash. Absolutely hilarious.
On more serious note, it looks like you picked a class act for the engine repairs and I applaud that engine shop. While it probably should not have happened in the first place, at least he is standing by the work. Again, congratulations.
Glad the shop is taking care of you, but mad props for the end of the video. Hope you don't have to bail out!
Thanks for thorough analysis of the whole event! So glad that there was no fire in the engine bay with fuel line ripped and hot oil splashing all over place.
Thank you Ed. I just read TCM 93-4. I havent flown in 25 years but still have my heart in it.
WOW - great emergency reaction flying skills and....just freakin great luck having enough seconds on the clock and height to glide back! ...it was heartwarming to hear the shop stood by their repair and set you right -- stay safe!
I asked the question in the incident video, you have more than answered it here, great view of the data log. Thank you!!
Hahaha well done. Love the ending. Glad to hear there's still engine shops that will accept responsibility and provide good old fashioned customer service even indirectly. Pass on my respect to them. 👍
Very impressive! The company backed their work! Amazing in this day and age!!! That old engine came apart big time! Glad you are safe, and the outcome looks to be very positive!! 👍🧙🏼♂️
Good luck for the first flight on "new" engine. This is the type of flight where most problems tend to occur -- as you obviously know. I look forward to seeing your next vid on your safe return.
You have a great sense of humor about this...Happy Flying!!
Good to know what happened. I think that your engine shop went above and beyond to make things right.
The closing few seconds are an absolute gem.🙏🏻
Just watched your last two posts and then this one. Excellent production, content and delivery. I just hit subscribe. Would definitely enjoy hearing more from you,,,, I would fly with you anytime.
The ending was a classic, great job mate.
Ed… your a gem! Your posts are valuable to your flying family. Thank you!
Ha! Great ending and good sense of humor! Well done sir.👍🏽
I know that you had a problem with the first overhaul with your mechanic, but as a fellow mechanic let me say this:
The man is standing behind his word, and rebuilding all of this firewall forward for you. In this day and age, a man like this is few and far between. Chalk up the loss of the first motor, and stick with this mechanic, he sounds like a real stand-up dude.
Good on that shop for making it right, and making it right so dang fast!!!!
Happy flying friend
Awesome update! Glad to hear the shop owner is standing behind is work, but at this point I wouldn't trust him with my lawn mower engine. His shop's poor workmanship could have cost you your life.
Dude, Glad your safe, and it's really refreshing to hear that shop owned their mistakes and made right, hope the engine gives you 100s of hours of safe, smooth operation since being completely rebuilt!
Edward, what a fabulous set of videos you did plus all the analysis included in them. You did the most competent true emergency recovery I've ever seen and I'm glad to know you are on the way to another test. Like you I fly and I'm currently making a DIY video about O-360 teardown/rebuild. I've learned many things about parts and rebuilding philosophies much of which you noted including the owner/mechanic relationships. Like you I've recently transitioned to RG/HP and regard that as a very big step. I'm really impressed with your cool deconstruction of the various facts. That helps me to look forward to having my own engine monitor not yet installed. These sorts of videos form a basic foundation for all aspects of pilot ownership. Importantly, you were able to share a horrible situation on YT and you lived to fly another day. I too occasionally fly out of Tracy and I thank you for the included bit about those untouched houses. The antiaircraft temperature is rising around there in what was once a deserted dirt strip, but no longer is. I can only imagine the costs and additional damage had you not made the field, so again I salute your cool headed recovery and hope I never have to do one.
Just stumbled onto your channel this morning. Absolutely love the way this played out. HOWEVER - major bonus points for the closing scene with 'chute and fire bottles at the ready :-)
