Airplane Owner Maintenance - By Dean Showalter

238 – Check Ride Thoughts & Piper Door Stop Repair

Listen Later

This podcast episode includes the following:

  • Update on my CFII check ride from March 8, 2024
  • A description of several maintenance items on a Piper Cherokee
  • Some emails I received from podcast listeners, some encouraging me about my check ride, and some sharing inspiring stories of what they are doing in their aviation journeys… I love hearing about what you guys are doing!
  • Two resources I recommend for people who are about to take a check ride:
  • One is an article in the March 2024 AOPA Pilot magazine titled “Impress the Examiner” by Catherine Cavagnaro.
  • The second one is something our friend Leslie Caubble is doing through her new website, UltimateAviationAcademy.com (She’s providing mock oral check rides to prepare pilots for the oral portion of the check ride.)

    • Here’s a photo of the Piper Cherokee door stop I repaired by installing a new spring, P/N 65730-00. Now the door stop snaps nicely into the open detent, instead of closing on you while you’re getting in or out of the airplane.
