TAS called and 1BC is ready for pickup! My buddy John offered to fly me there in his Cessna 340. Enjoy a VFR flight from Chicago Aurora Airport (ARR) to Defiance, Ohio (DFI) where John and I discuss airplane purchases, upgrades and maintenance. The folks at TAS had already test flown the plane, reorganized my log books/aircraft records and did a great job of showing/explaining everything that needed to be done to keep my plane safe and airworthy.

Sure is nice to have a face to put with all that trust. :)

@RYBAT 3 года назад

That is how Aircraft Maint and Service should always be conducted....Excellent, Kev and TAS

@310Pilot 3 года назад

I agree. So glad to have them in mine (and 1BC's) life. :)

@rugerboy58 3 года назад

WOW! I don't own an airplane and don't fly but this company makes me want to go buy a plane just so I can go to TAS! What an impressive show and tell with the replaced parts and an even more impressive debrief. What an outstanding company!!!! Heck I only watch your videos and I have peace of mind knowing that you guys are being cared for by TAS. Cool video Kevin! Thanks for always sharing your flights!!

@tedchanin2013 3 года назад

One word comes to mind. Professionals!

@marshallpoe8087 3 года назад

What an awesome company! Inviting you to become part of the "family" is the top of the customer service ladder. Great job.

@310Pilot 3 года назад

Well said Marshall!

@Andykev 3 года назад

Always edit out the part where the paramedics revive the customer when he sees the invoice. Ha! That was one extensive annual, looks like they caught stuff missed over the years. Now you have a peace of mind knowing everything has been done right! Great video.

@kenbryant2570 3 года назад

Now I know why a good annual is so important. The things they found were incredable. You and your family should be safe now.

@CCitis 3 года назад

Great shop. The fact they actually show you and walk through the replaced items... awesome.

@bobwilson758 2 года назад

Does TAS. Only work on twin Cessna aircraft ?

@bryonschue8065 3 года назад

This is the most professional out-brief I have seen.

@myownboss1 3 года назад

Hands down, just one of the best video series you’ve presented to us! Very entertaining and educational. Besides pilot/owners, who knew the stuff you have to go through to keep the plane in good safe flying condition! Thanks again!

@DrumMenace 3 года назад

If I had a plane, these guys would have my business. Their debriefing of the parts and issues is invaluable and shows their expertise. You have found a lifetime maintenance partner there.

@Jesse-le9bh 3 года назад

Probably the most interesting and important video that you have posted. So glad that you got it all fixed. Proves that beauty is more than skin deep. Thanks for being so open and honest. It is a great Blessing that you went through this before a catastrophic failure. All the best to you and Jamie.

@ronhudson3730 3 года назад

Best aviation channel on RU-vid. By far. Greetings from Canada Kevin.

@310Pilot 3 года назад

Thank you Ron...that's really saying something. Glad you think so!! :)

@kevinmalloy2180 3 года назад

Fascinaring. For my ‘46 Champ, I’ve gone to a guy who has flown, maintained, and restored Aeroncas for decades (also has done Pitts’ for decades). Can’t imagine not having somebody who really knows fabric and small (old) engines. So glad for you that the 310 shop found the wear/tear others had not seen!

@LimeyTX 3 года назад

I was super impressed by the professionalism of that shop. They may be expensive but I’d sure feel happy flying an airplane maintained by that. I’ve always thought any maintenance shop should at least ride along on the first flight after an annual.

@chrisc161 3 года назад

Cool. I like your friend. He asked all the right questions.

@malibujack4852 3 года назад

Kevin I had a dual vacuum failure on my Malibu. The issue was that there were holes in the boots that were allowing water into the system over a long period of time which caused both vacuum pumps to fail within a few hours of one another. A lot of water was drained out of my system. TAS explanation for you sounds reasonable, but just ensure you don’t have boot pinholes that are allowing water into the system over a period of time.

@Grythym 3 года назад

As always, thanks for sharing this valuable information. Glad to know she's all fixed and ready to go! Fly safe Sky King 2021...

@kennethsturgess6967 3 года назад

What an awesome video. Absolutely loved the getting a snapshot of what you are doing to keep you and your family safe. And all the new tech that is available and those good people at TAS thanks again

@danawalker55 3 года назад

Wow! Those folks at TAS are awesome! Thanks for sharing another great video, Kevin.

@charlesrogers5018 3 года назад

Really nice getting and reporting on what was done and why from the people that worked on your plane and taking the time to show and explain all that was involved. Good job.

@irpat54 3 года назад

This was one of the best series of videos I have ever seen... thanks for asking them to video everything that they did... and thanks for showing us what a great place to take you plane to...

@tompinnef6331 3 года назад

Nice puppy. TAS sure did a great job on her. Very good job on records etc. Hope everyone is doing well. Take care - be safe and looking forward to more videos. 'Spin'

@joentexas 3 года назад

So professional. Looks as though you can fly with full TAS confidence now. Great video. Thanks.

@andrewbainton4029 3 года назад

Thank goodness they found and fixed everything so that you Jamie and your family will be safe! It was a great idea to put out these very different series of videos regarding maintenance. They are eye-opening and really drive home the importance of thorough quality maintenance & repair of your aircraft. Cool drone footage of your departure at the end.

@victoriamoore1294 3 года назад

Impressive informational video! Forwarding to a pilot in my family. Hi to your two friends that gave you a lift down, very nice 340 🤗 Cant, as usual wait till the next video. 🤗

@FeralPreacher 3 года назад

Kevin, Thanks for the intimate video on your extensive annual. TAS rocks and pride themselves with their work ethic and professionalism. Wow. Simply impressed on how they conduct themselves with the clients. I am sure the cost was substantial, but you know what you are getting with their service. Fly safe bro!

@Maximum1A 3 года назад

TAS is squared away and very thorough. I am glad they found and repaired all the problems and abnormalities on 1Bravo Charlie. Great video of their repair and inspection work.

@jimgiordano5378 3 года назад

This is what a proper annual inspection looks like. Like the professionalism this shops has debriefing the annual with you. Next year the parts they present should be much fewer :) Nice to see this attention to safety and meticulous maintenance. Great content!

@dotcodan 3 года назад

This is such an awesome way to help explain to laypeople just exactly what it takes to keep a plane airworthy and the pilot and his passengers safe. It is not a turnkey operation like some people treat an automobile. You can't just pull over on the next cloud when you breakdown in a plane. Great job, Kevin. Keep this types of videos coming. They are a wealth of knowledge.

@faustobaptista8555 3 года назад

It's great. A brand new plane again. Always will be good to trust

@FB-111A 3 года назад

Hands down, the best video I’ve ever watched. As a Navigator flying B52s, FB-111s, & T-29s, 50 years ago we relied on the maintainers for our lives. Never take short cuts and you will enjoy life well into your 70s.

@tonyvitiello9897 3 года назад

Between this video and getting to see some restoration projects on a 310 and a Piper, all the things to go wrong make my head spin. Glad you got some safety items taken care of.

Hey Kevin, it was definitely nice to meet you and Jamie at sun’n’fun this year. Good to see 1BC back in the air. All the best to you both and safe flying bud!!

@AndyRoche 3 года назад

As a member of Civil Air Patrol (CAP) and someone who is trained for ELT searches... Yes we will call, Yes we will search, and yes we appreciate you adding the GPS info to your ELT. Triangulating on an ELT can waste valuable time because we are often on foot or flying searches with incomplete information and having the lat/long to start makes our search much easier.

@O_Dingo77 3 года назад

Cannot wait to be onboard 1BC once again, she is looking so good. Appreciate the drone shot at the end and just how rare that kind of shot is to setup. Looking forward to next weeks video.

@cappy9867 3 года назад

@skydogg33 3 года назад

Oil analysis is such a great idea. I’m in a club with three planes and it is such a great tool for the maintenance. I use Blackstone too. I am sure others do it too but they are great. They can pretty much tell you what is wrong or going wrong with your engine just by what metal and how much. They even can tell you what to do or look for. I even use it on my car. Great videos. Been a fan for a long time. I am a maintenance officer on one of the club planes and love this series. I love to watch the flying but it’s nice to see the other stuff too. Keep up the good work!

@dbucciar 3 года назад

I suspected that A/C maintenance was complicated in general but holy cow. You need to be able to have complete trust in your maintenance professionals. TAS looks like a great company to work with, and seems very trustworthy. Loved the drone footage at the end of the video!

@specforged5651 3 года назад

After owning twin Cessnas for years, I still have a special place in my heart for the 340 (of course the A model with the more powerful engines). The 340 is the best looking twin Cessna ever made. No offense to the 310, I owned two T310Q models because I liked the short nose so much better. Pretty sure that’s why I like the 340 better than the 421. I loved my 421, but it must be that nose that threw something off in my brain haha (although it was a great place for golf clubs). Even though I’m in a turbine now, I still hold a special place in my heart for twin Cessnas, especially that sexy 340. Thanks for all the great videos and I’m thrilled that “imminent” gear failure never came to fruition. Stay safe and see ya on the next one.

@jimkleiss1020 3 года назад

Enjoyed this one. Hard to believe some of that stuff was missed. I'm sure that check was hard to write, but you feel more confident in her now. My first annual is coming in September; I'm anxious about it.

@davidlykins2237 3 года назад

love the video as usual. Great work! thanks for sharing.

@JimsPlanesandTrains 3 года назад

Excellent video! Very interesting to see all of the inner workings of the 310, and good to see that they test fly every plane! That 340 is nice! Fun seeing my house at 8:00, used to seeing it at 2 or 3 thousand though
