Fun in maintenanceland!

Pilots,

We love it when our FAA inspections all line up at once, and this week, it happened again! The good news is, it's in everyone's best interest, so we grin and bear it, and please pass the coffee. :)

Here are the various plagues we are working out at the moment:

Cessna 08V will be down to have her steering cords inspected. There is reason to suspect that they need some TLC.

Cessna 68U has been flying just fine. Thanks, 68U!

Cessna 20U has completed her engine break-in, and is back to full service, however, her copilot seat will be down for additional repairs.

Cessna 74U will be down for radio work this week to troubleshoot a bad case of the scratchies. It's not the radio unit -- so it's likely off to the radio shop for her; more as I know it.

Cessna 04H is down for her 100hr inspection. We are tackling a good number of accumulated squawks and expect her to be down for a day or so more.

Cessna 17J has completed her 100hr, however, we left the master switch on last night. (hey, we do it too!) - 17J needed a jumpstart this morning, otherwise, she is a happy bird.

Chaos as usual? No, this is a bit much, but we're slogging through it. Please bear with us!



In other news, we have redesigned the website. We will be snapping additional content into the site as time allows, per many of the great suggestions we received.

I am of the opinion that the site has actually had its information value reduced, while its "pretty" value has increased. A bubble-headed trophy site if you will. Isn't that the way it goes... anyway, we hope to make our dotcom a beauty with brains too! More as we get to it.



Somebody kill the heat please, it's November!

Blue Skies!
