In episode 188, we covered the first 30 squawks on a Cessna 172 that’s in the shop for an annual inspection and a bunch of repairs.
In this episode, we are tackling another chunk of the squawks and repairs.
Here’s a sampling:
Under the pilot instrument panel, some wiring was tied to one of the fuel primer lines… a bad idea. I secured the wiring away from the primer line.
Here’s another one: the owner did not like the old, large throttle knob, and was ready to change the whole throttle control cable. Instead, I found a new knob that worked very well, and looks much nicer. (The knob in my hand is the old one.)
And another one: the instrument panel shock mounts were sagging, cracked, and broken:
In the next episode, I’m planning to finish the Cessna 172 squawks, and by then, the airplane should be back in the air!
As always, if I can help you with evaluating borescope images, reviewing maintenance records, or one-on-one consulting, you can check out the options on the STORE PAGE here on the website.
Have a great week!
