WOW 😮 this was so helpful. Nobody tells you about all of this. I don’t own a airplane yet but I do want a Grumman when I buy one. They’re hard planes to find
I am asking for informational purposes and not to attack. I just wanted to ask where in the FARS specify that you have to replace engine controls? Depending on what section/part you are operating under , to my knowledge a time based overhaul is not even required, nor is any of the other things in this video except the hose time limit. Are all these things needed or good practice? Most definitely a yes! Thank you for all your knowledge and the service you provide to the Grumman community. (sorry if you have already addressed this issue as I can not see the comments on this video)
It is like Lycoming's policy for an overhaul, if the case is split, you must install new bearings. Even if old engine had 6 minutes of run time and the bearing looked new. FYI
I reviewed the AA5 maintenance manual, saw nothing in either scheduled or unscheduled maintenance nor ch 73-2-1 nor 73-2-2. Is this from a Service Bulletin? Great topics and information presentation!
@@tamugrad2007 Last time I made hoses myself, each fitting in 2005 28.73 (2 per hose) and the hose was $17.00a foot plus my time and hand cramps to assemble. So even manually hoses cost some money.
@@GrummanPilots You're missing the point. The only difference is the ability for company A to put a mil spec on their hoses (probably because they lined the pockets of some politician) while company B chose not to. The quality is EXACTLY the same. But because company A has the license to put the mil spec stamp on it, you pay 10-20 times more for it solely because of the stamp. It has zero to do with quality. Engineering and physics don't change because the government approves putting a stamp on it.
