I'm new to GA aircraft. I feel having a wide band O2 sensor to be able to accurately control mixture would be helpful. Preventing cylinder wash and running lean saves engines. Also would like to see the starter solenoid in the cockpit. If it failed you could jump it with something to start the aircraft. Starter solenoids can be sketchy.

And if the engine compartment looks that bad, what does the rest of the aircraft look like? I haven't checked for your list of videos, but in case you haven't already, you could use this aircraft to point out and explain things to look for during a detailed inspection (extended preflight or pre buy inspection?) and show what things look like when they need some attention or how to determine that they are still serviceable and safe in spite of looking yucky. You are doing a great job with all your videos, very informative.

You might want to make sure that intake tube is the correct one. I was just reading an NTSB report on a Cherokee that had an engine failure followed by a water lading caused by a collapsing induction tube. I can't tell by the video but you already have one collapsing tube in there, I would hate to see another one. Good luck and great video.

great, suck the heated air intake tube flat, and the rusted springs so they can gouge the cylinder walls resting on the rings, and short the plugs, mess up the valves and valve seats. I've seen this before, and it ain't pretty, but it is pretty expensive, and rather risky being up in the air. Great job explaining everything and showing where. I was in the Air Force, and we had Tail Number "shadow" mats, where all the parts went during disassembly, exchange, and rebuild. The A&P log book was on a log rack, or wall for sign off.
@georgschwiemann2353
@georgschwiemann2353 7 лет назад
Just what I thought, I saw that heated intake air tube and paused to come down here & check for comments. Be great if that decided to suck closed as you left ground effect on take off ! Just watched a bit further and was relieved to see that it is "T'd" and could at least get cold air from the nose :)

This was very interesting and eye opening! As one who has spent decades fooling around under the hoods of cars and working on other engines, I had always *assumed* that an aircraft engine and compartment would be extremely neat, tidy, and well laid out, using high quality fittings and lines, and be well maintained. I'm not at all meaning to be derogatory. And maybe I have a touch of OCD, but that really does not look like any of those things under there! Is this a fairly typical example of light aircraft engine compartment? I want to get my mechanic's certification in addition to the pilot's license, and maintain my own airplane to extremely high standards. :)
@fly8ma.comflighttraining199
@fly8ma.comflighttraining199 7 лет назад
This is fairly typical as most GA aircraft are 30-50 years old, and the old somewhat crappy components are what you are forced to use as it is all that is approved by the FAA. Couple that with flight schools that try to save penny's over improving safety and you get something that looks like this. You can expect this or worse in almost any flight school airplane, even in new aircraft, it doesn't take long for a flight school to leave them in a legal, mostly airworthy state of disrepair. Best to join a club or own your own!

@fly8ma.comflighttraining199
@fly8ma.comflighttraining199 7 лет назад
It's how you will be billed for the airplane rental, basically it is a small clock that measures time in hours and tenths of an hour. A tenth of an hour (0.1) usually costs you $15 or so when renting, so while it would be totally dishonest to mess with the system, we all like to joke about how to make it run a little slower or not work at all.

@fly8ma.comflighttraining199
@fly8ma.comflighttraining199 7 лет назад
Lmao, I'll go into a bit more in a latter video. For now just look for a philips head screw connecting a little wire to a round pressure switch that will be connected with a "T" fitting on an oil line. Once the engine starts producing oil pressure, it closes the circuit and lets electricity flow to the hobbs meter and start ticking.
@dbflyboy917
@dbflyboy917 7 лет назад
When you're renting, just take a phillips head screwdriver, unscrew both screws holding the hobbs meter in, and disconnect it. Just don't forget to re-connect it before returning the airplane! That's all you need to know about the hobbs :)

Good Stuff. What did you miss? Yep...the landing light wires. Also, what engine model is that? I fly a PA28-161 with a O-320-D3G. Layout is a bit different. Oil cooler is left side rear. There is no box over the electrically driven fuel pump. In fact, I don't have that box at all on the left side. My air intake does not have the landing light in it and the air from the intake goes directly to an airbox holding a fillter.

Actually, now that I think about it, that was a dumb question. If that oil filter spun off you could have a seize in midair. Not good. At least with a car you could just pull over. Im new at this. Sorry, my bad.

@chrispennell8287 6 лет назад
Very good video. The thing I don’t understand is that cool air is more dense witch you will get a better combustion. If the air and fuel is being warmed going through the sump surely that would make the engine less efficient
@fly8ma.comflighttraining199
@fly8ma.comflighttraining199 6 лет назад
That's correct! But engines overheating tend to seize and fail, so less power is better than no power. Remember these engines were designed just after the second world war
@chrispennell8287
@chrispennell8287 6 лет назад
FLY8MA.com Flight Training. I did nor realise that these engines were that old. Suppose why change something that works. Is the Cessna the same set up as the pa28. When we shut down the engine we lean it off till the shuts down. Is this to use the fuel up that is in the float chamber rather then turning the ignition off. It reminds me of a VW beetle engine.
@tfilter6
@tfilter6 6 лет назад

Lol, could have saved us all a lot of money if some one told me that day one of training. And I'm not, unfortunately don't have the time to get the two years required work experience in a shop to get the A&P cert. Pretty much taught myself how to work on my own aircraft (I've had quite a few) as I've always had a hard time finding an A&P that would do 100% of what I wanted done, in a timely manner, done right the first time, and not at rates of $100+ per hour. Not to knock the profession at all, just seems to get it done right you have to do it yourself.

nice video. How much time is on the engine? Perhaps the next video could compare accessory condition with 500hrs, 1000hrs, 1500hrs etc. Too many times a cheap part ignored becomes a major expense.
@fly8ma.comflighttraining199
@fly8ma.comflighttraining199 7 лет назад
That engine has right around 1000hrs and is 7 years old. It's had a hard life being near the saltwater based on the west coast of Florida. Certainly some cheap parts have caused major damage (bad exhaust gaskets at only a few $$ each). Also an A&P was trying to diagnose a bad mag and which cylinder was not firing, he did a water test by spraying water on the exhaust to see which was the cold cylinder. Problem was he didn't have water in a spray bottle handy so he used degreaser in a spray bottle that had pretty high acid content and did some serious corrosion acceleration to the spark plugs and #2 and #4 intake pipes (wasn't very careful with his spraying). If you look closely you'll see the paint peeling and chemical drip marks.

Very good video! Now, is the Lycoming ready to be overhauled? I wouldn't be taking that plane anywhere in the visual condiion it is in. Fuel and vacuum lines bubbled and collapsed? Plugs encrusted by carbon - a natural conductor of electricity. Wires that look old and insulation stiff enough to break or crumble off causing a short? Rust deep on exhaust pipes and flywheel? That Lycoming neeeds money and TLC before it flies again. Could that plane been in storage too long? You may be able to get away with that deterioration in a car, but not in any piston aircraft.

I wanted to see the lines going to the alternator. One of the lines to our alternator keeps resting on the muffler and then we (club plane) get alt light. The line runs to the right side of the alternator and it also has a small black wire attached to it there. What is going on with that? Our tech doesn't seem to think the wire resting on the muffler/exhaust is a problem..This is a new build since we had a ground fire and we did repairs. I'm going to zip tie it today and see what happens.

John, you mentioned defeating or actuating the Hobbs meter during flight training, saying that was "the single best piece of advice" you gave. Can you please explain further what you meant? I'm confused.

He was joking, the Hobbs meter records flight time in the aircraft, which is the time you’re charged for. His joke was if it doesn’t work you wouldn’t have to pay for the flight time

So the air that enters the engine after activating carb heat is just ambient air inside the engine cowling that flows through the heating shroud? I’m still a little confused how it gets pressure to be used in combustion?

Why would they want the air/fuel mixture to cool the oil right before entering the cylinders? Wouldn't that warm the air, making it less dense and therefore make the engine perform slightly worse? Or because it would be the same quantity of air already having been mixed, would performance not change?

It looks like changing the alternator belt is a big chore. I wonder how they do that?

would this be similar to the archer? can you also do a video on lost comms, ex. if im on a xc and going into class c or class d airport without two way but have transponder, what would you do, and what if transponder is also out ?(bad day lol)

We'll post more on lost comms in the future, in the mean time you can check out the tower tour of a class D tower that covers lost comm procedures

What do you think about the cam shafts in that engine? I'm considering buying a 67'.... Last flight was in 94'. 1730 hrs.

@fly8ma.comflighttraining199 6 лет назад
Uh, that sounds like a scary prospect. I wouldn't touch it til it had 25-50 hrs on it within the past year and then take a look in the oil filter and maybe pop a jug and look at the cam.

Something that I have been wondering about for some time now: Why do I loose some power, when one magneto fails? I mean, the cylinder still gets ignited, right?
@fly8ma.comflighttraining199
@fly8ma.comflighttraining199 6 лет назад
You get a small decrease in power because the fuel and air is not burning as completely. The flame from just the one plug has to travel all the way across the cylinder and that takes time (relatively speaking)

Thank you for explaining! I guessed something in that direction.

How did this thing ever get a airworthiness certificate? Just about every thing he pointed at and said was important was fucked up in some way. Thank God the oil filter is safety wired because that would spin loose long before the oil cooler lines that are almost completely blocked off by the heat distortion and kinks they have all over them would fail. I seen lawnmowers less cobbled together than that thing.

Welcome to flight school airplanes in FL....can't say I really miss flying those things. Another reason to own your own instead.

Good point, you cant just call AAA when flying a rented aircraft. I did like your video and learned somethings from it. Hope I didn't come across as a dick with my first comment. see ya, Jon

Its maintenance periods keep getting stretched due to repeated disconnection of the Hobbs.
