Webinar
Fortunate Catch
Wednesday, October 4, 2023, from 7 - 8:30 p.m. CDT
Presenter: Mike Busch
A maintenance-aware owner is the last line of defense against maintenance errors. In this webinar, Mike Busch A&P/IA relates the story of one Bonanza owner whose shop replaced two cylinders because of burned exhaust valves. Then, just as the mechanic was buttoning up the airplane in preparation for the break-in flight, this maintenance-involved owner looked closely at the newly installed cylinders, spotted something that concerned him, raised his concerns with the shop, whereupon the A&P who installed the cylinders admitted that he'd made a critical mistake that almost certainly would have resulted in a catastrophic engine failure had the vigilant owner not saved the day. Mike also talks about the crash involving another Bonanza that suffered a catastrophic in-flight engine failure years earlier caused by precisely the same error and was the subject of landmark litigation. Qualifies for FAA WINGS and AMT credit.
