@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.
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.
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
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!
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!
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'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.
@@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.
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.
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
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 👌
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 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.
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
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).
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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! 😂
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.
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!!!
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.
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!
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!
The owner of that engine shop needs to be commended. Most places will just demy until you can prove its their fault. Not only did he take full responsibility, hes replacing the emgine and overhauling all asociated components. Hats off to that man.
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.
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.
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.
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
Great Analysis! Good thing your shop stood up for its mishaps and fixed it. I was cheated and lied to by an FBO whose chief mechanic agreed to perform an engine exchange project on my Piper Archer II. The mechanic delegated his job, without my knowledge or consent. to two new hires who completely screwed up the job that would have been pretty routine: 1. take of the STC-ed McCauley Black Mac Prop 2. Sent it in for a factory-prescribed Overhaul ( was overdue, supposed to happen every 72 mths or 2,000hrs-whichever came first); i3. remove old engine and send back to PennYan; 4 re-install a beautiful, zero-timed, balanced PennYan Aero Lycoming O-360A4M engine and put the fully-overhauled (fixed pitch) MCCauley prop on. Mechanics failed to do proper pre-oiling, remounted the out-run McCauley prop; falsified logbooks : After releasing plane for flight on 1/13/2021 there was NO ENTRY in the propeller logs. I was being charged for 90.1. hours of work performed but had an agreement for a 30-hour labor limitation, worse, the propeller was damaged while in the Custody of the FBO .This was discovered after the plane had to abort its first flight: heavy shakiing of plane; abnormal starter noises, unable to hold idle and NO OIL Pressure....The plane was declared numerous times unairworthy after the aborted flight and the FBO owner and his non-AI-certified mechanic, sent separate letters to me, declaring their own work unairworthy. After removing the unairworthy plane from that FBO, I was stuck with a plane where the next shop had to rely on incomplete/false maintenance records. The FBO Owner first attempted to retrieve $ 8,415- in addition to an already-paid $ 4,800 dollars for incorrect/incomplete and shoddy work. The case, naturally, ended up in the Circuit Court after the plane experienced multiple performance problems, including climbing Copper values on OAs. Finally, a complete tear down had to be performed....still not resolved today
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. 👍
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
When that much carnage has happened on the inside it’s hard to tell what went tink first. Given the sudden onset of failure and the picture window in the block I wouldn’t even have opened the data log. If it were an engine performance issue or even a scuffed cylinder wall or a stuck pin joint I would have expected the failure to develop at least over a second or two. Good to hear the shop not only recognized an error in the build but made it right and informed you of procedure changes to prevent recurrence.
Good to hear they are taking care of it. I wonder how many people have been screwed over by a ship saying, nope not our problem, you (the pilot) made a mistake causing this, and we wont cover it.
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.
Great news, so happy the guys fixed up the engine and everything else as mentioned. great value after a huge scare! hope the test flights go well and the engine gives you all the hours to the next TBO without any...any issues. I think you earned it! Therefore I bless you and your engine! Go forth and fly and be SAFE!!!
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.
After having a couple Deadstick Forced Off-field landings in different GA aircraft, near the runway, there is a rule of thumb: Most ALL engine problems show up after a power adjustment, not during cruise. Now I don't touch anything for the 1st 1000 ft. or last 1000 ft. Thanks for sharing your video.
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

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.
That was from a separate incident in a 310 the day before, I did not land on the same surface I took off from
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
Great Analysis! Good thing your shop stood up for its mishaps and fixed it. I was cheated and lied to by an FBO whose chief mechanic agreed to perform an engine exchange project on my Piper Archer II. The mechanic delegated his job, without my knowledge or consent. to two new hires who completely screwed up the job that would have been pretty routine: 1. take of the STC-ed McCauley Black Mac Prop 2. Sent it in for a factory-prescribed Overhaul ( was overdue, supposed to happen every 72 mths or 2,000hrs-whichever came first); i3. remove old engine and send back to PennYan; 4 re-install a beautiful, zero-timed, balanced PennYan Aero Lycoming O-360A4M engine and put the fully-overhauled (fixed pitch) MCCauley prop on. Mechanics failed to do proper pre-oiling, remounted the out-run McCauley prop; falsified logbooks : After releasing plane for flight on 1/13/2021 there was NO ENTRY in the propeller logs. I was being charged for 90.1. hours of work performed but had an agreement for a 30-hour labor limitation, worse, the propeller was damaged while in the Custody of the FBO .This was discovered after the plane had to abort its first flight: heavy shakiing of plane; abnormal starter noises, unable to hold idle and NO OIL Pressure....The plane was declared numerous times unairworthy after the aborted flight and the FBO owner and his non-AI-certified mechanic, sent separate letters to me, declaring their own work unairworthy. After removing the unairworthy plane from that FBO, I was stuck with a plane where the next shop had to rely on incomplete/false maintenance records. The FBO Owner first attempted to retrieve $ 8,415- in addition to an already-paid $ 4,800 dollars for incorrect/incomplete and shoddy work. The case, naturally, ended up in the Circuit Court after the plane experienced multiple performance problems, including climbing Copper values on OAs. Finally, a complete tear down had to be performed....still not resolved today
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. 👍
The ending was a classic, great job mate.
Courage is good to go . No over haul needed. Great landing
You need to give out the shops name! I love to hear that a company stood by its work. Thankfully, you are around to tell the story.
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
When that much carnage has happened on the inside it’s hard to tell what went tink first. Given the sudden onset of failure and the picture window in the block I wouldn’t even have opened the data log. If it were an engine performance issue or even a scuffed cylinder wall or a stuck pin joint I would have expected the failure to develop at least over a second or two.
Good to hear the shop not only recognized an error in the build but made it right and informed you of procedure changes to prevent recurrence.
Good to hear they are taking care of it. I wonder how many people have been screwed over by a ship saying, nope not our problem, you (the pilot) made a mistake causing this, and we wont cover it.
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.
Brilliant ending, a genuine "crying with laughter" moment!
Great news, so happy the guys fixed up the engine and everything else as mentioned. great value after a huge scare! hope the test flights go well and the engine gives you all the hours to the next TBO without any...any issues. I think you earned it! Therefore I bless you and your engine! Go forth and fly and be SAFE!!!
that cracked me up when those 2 fire extinguishers showed up on camera. kidding aside, that was an excellent airmanship!
Well done for the engine shop doing the right thing.
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.
After having a couple Deadstick Forced Off-field landings in different GA aircraft, near the runway, there is a rule of thumb: Most ALL engine problems show up after a power adjustment, not during cruise. Now I don't touch anything for the 1st 1000 ft. or last 1000 ft. Thanks for sharing your video.
Good to see people that stand behind their work. That's a good engine shop even if they made a mistake which we all can do.
I’m glad to hear that your engine guy is standing behind his work and making everything right! PS: I love what you have taped to you calves!!
