Annual Inspection Of The T182, It's That Time Of Year Again



T182 Annual Inspection



Annual Inspection Of The T182, It's That Time Of Year Again



It was that time of year again. Then annual inspection of the turbo charged Cessna 182 was due at the end of June. After finishing the work painting the Mooney we started working on the inspection of the turbocharged Cessna 182. The T182 was what I was working on over the end of June and into July while I was not flying.
The inspectors most commonly used tools, flashlight and mirrors.

"Stuck!!" One of Timothy's favorite adjectives.

Aircraft maintenance has been what I have spent most of the time doing over the past year. I have made some flights, but just keeping the planes going keeps this crew busy, and keeping this crew busy has kept me busy. There are still some unairworthy defects with this plane that need to be corrected so that this plane can fly again.
 

I am currently working on finishing correcting the last unairworthy defects that this plane has. We are then planning on flying this plane to Miami for engine overhaul and an inspection that is required for it to become a Bolivian registered airplane. We hope to have the last defects corrected this week and we hope to be flying this plane to Miami the following week.

We will be at least visiting the Atlanta, GA and Collegedale, TN areas during this trip. We are not sure yet how long we will be in the US. We will be in the US  while waiting for this airplane to be ready to be flown back to Bolivia.

I want to thank every one who supports us so we can do this work. Thank you every one who supports us financially and those who support us in prayer.

God bless,

Steven, Helen, Timothy, and James.
