245 – A Crazy and Amazing Week!

Airplane Owner Maintenance - By Dean Showalter

The week I’m talking about here was almost too full!

But I wouldn’t change a thing.

A real highlight was taking my Pennsylvania cousin for a short flight in a Piper Cherokee:

From Sunday to Friday, I had the following opportunities:

• Flew every day except Tuesday… this was unusual!
• Did an owner-assisted annual inspection on a Bonanza.
• Spent an afternoon with my grandson… I love him so much!
• My cousin Dan stayed overnight with us and I took him flying… Maria made us a tasty supper, and we enjoyed some great conversation with Dan. A fun side note – Dan and I were born about a week apart years ago!
• … and probably more that I can’t remember right now

Also, during the Bonanza inspection with my friend Mike, we adjusted the fuel quantity circuit board adjustments a bit to make them indicate accurately when the tanks are full… the maintenance manual had excellent instructions which also agreed with the very clear information on the circuit boards themselves located just under the top center part of the instrument panel glare shield… here’s a photo:

It was an awesome week, and I recorded some thoughts about it for at least a couple reasons:

One, I hope you might find some inspiration and encouragement in it.

And two, I wanted to document the week a bit to help me remember it in the future.

So… if you’d like to hear more about the adventures of this particular week, listen to the audio for this week’s podcast.

Thanks, and have a great day!
