You (and the owner) should be able to file a complaint and have that AI's certificate revoked! This kind of thing grinds my gears! 🤬
That would suck time from my life. Life's too short. The FAA needs to do that. Thanks for watching!
SSDD seen this a many times in my 50 plus years. I had a similar situation one time and was still working on the aircraft when Mr. Pencil Whip showed up in my hanger screaming at me that I was a nasty rectal canal. Seems the new owner's lawyer had already contacted the old owner and the IA. Well after me being as nice as I could for a least a minute, I unloaded on him with several other things I had found, and he cussed me out again. Now for the big picture. I was not alone in the hanger. There were two of my employees, one of which was also an experienced IA and my PMI. You know the FAA man assigned to my IA. My FAA PMI asked a question and was cussed out as well. At that point things went downhill fast. After a formal introduction the Fed collected my hostile visitors IA, A&P and his Commercial pilots' certificates and arranged for a meeting in the FSDO office in a couple weeks. At that point I asked my unruly guest to leave. He went outside got in an airplane and flew off into the wild blue yonder. That was also noted by the FAA. I do not know if this guy is still in aviation, but I do know that all his certificates were revoked. This idiot shot himself in both feet and is probably not smart enough to figure it out.
Lazy crappy IAs are normally not too bright! Thanks for watching!
I have been watching you for a couple months now and i am starting to worry about you. You are very quiet and always hold everything in. You need to tell your viewers what you really think. Greetings from Houston
You're right! I keep too much of this bottled inside! 🤣 Thanks for watching!
This problem has 3 parts: 1. Jackleg cut-throat IAs. 2. The owners that keep hiring them for the "cheapest" annual. 3. Lack of enforcement.
The FSDO folks are too busy doing diversity training... Thanks for watching!
This kind of thing pisses me off. Thanks for looking out, and calling it out.
Any time! Thanks for watching!
Looks like a vintage late 60's early 70's Craftsman common by the yellowing on the plastic. A lot like my dads newer ones. 😄
I think I bought some of them in high school. Thanks for watching!
Tell it like it is Bill! Wouldn't expect any less from you. Your customer is lucky to have you.
Thanks so much!
Thank you for this video, very informative
Glad you enjoyed it!
Sadly that is all too common to find an annual done by an irresponsible IA and finance by a cheap owner. Anytime I see an airplane for the first time, it gets gone over with a fine tooth comb in accordance with (NOT in reference to) the manufacturer's checklist. Further each and every AD is checked against the log book, the only thing I use the prior checklist for is to find a date when they said it got done so that I can locate it in the log book. I have run across 50 year old ADs that the compliance list says were previously complied with! People can die from fraudulent certifications! If a guy can't do this job right, they need to seriously reconsider their career field before they do kill someone!
I hope that the logbooks reflect the aircraft. Unfortunately, they only reflect the logbooks. I trust no one on a first annual. My peers refer to it as the "Bill Mill". I wear the moniker proudly! Thanks for watching!
I owned a classic japanese sports car, The previous owner was Aircraft Mechanic,The Quad carburetors had all the wrong bolts and screws, Wiring was abhorrent. In general it was a death trap.
So yes always find someone who really does know what they are doing.
Right you are!
Out of curiosity would disassembling the carb be a part of the pre-buy or would you just be checking the Logs that AD's were were complied? thanks I love your content
Checking the logs is normally adequate. In this instance the IA who signed off the annual was basically a liar. Crazy stuff. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge! Very insightful and interesting! Wish I could be at Oshkosh, guess I will have to hear about it! Lol Very much appreciate your efforts! Thank you Bill! 😊
Thanks!
Thanks for another great video. Aviation isn't all sunshine and tailwinds. It's important, for your own survival, to find a good A&P/IA and to educate yourself about the airplane you're flying or going to fly. Try a couple of spotted cows when you visiting the land of the cheeseheads this week.
Hey, I missed the Spotted Cows, but I did have a few New Glarus! Thanks for watching!
@HangaRatz 😆 For those who don't know (is there anybody who doesnt know?), Spotted Cow is brewed by New Glarus. It's tasty!
@@lapoint7603 My memory may have been clouded by the cheese curds...🤦♂
@HangaRatz 🤣🤣 They certainly are good. Hopefully, you didn't over-do the cheese curds. Too much cheese will slow you down.
Sucks that new owners get "Taken" by some. Of course it's primarily dangerous but it also ruins a potential owners dreams of enjoying flying.
Get a good pre-buy! That's the take away. Thanks for watching!
Bloody hell man, what a shit deal, hope they/you find out who that was & call them out on that BS. Safety first! What Plane make/model was it from?
172
Cessna 172C
As an IA I would have to agree with you on this bogus maint., its everybody's fault on this airplane including the buyer for buying such a POS, there are probably many more issues, I would have to disagree with you on the new blue composite float, these have been in service now for many years and work great.
I think if an owner respects the 10-year recommended overhaul the float will be fine. I just see too many real old components flying around out there. Thanks for watching!
This is not the first story of this kind that I've heard. Does the owner of the aircraft have any legal recourse to recoup costs from the seller and/or the IA that signed off on that "annual"? If nothing else, that IA signed his name to false documentation so I'm sure the FAA would be interested in hearing about it.
The FSDO folks are too busy doing diversity training... Thanks for watching!
I'm with you Bill, what a ripoff. This is the #1 reason I want to earn my A&P.. That way I can do it and know that I did it right.
Keep logging that aircraft work!
Hello HangaRatz, I enjoy watching your videos. That being said, I was hoping to get your thoughts on a problem I’m having. I bought a Lycoming IO-360 A1A used motor for my ‘68 Mooney. I’m trying to over haul it myself, and an issue with the cam gear. I timed the #1 cylinder from the crank to the cam, matching up all the dots on the crank gear and cam gear. Every time I rotate the crank, the cam gear makes a weird tick sound. When I had the cylinders off, I looked at the cam lobes and were fine, but not sure about the tappets. Hopefully it’s not a bent cam. What does a spalled cam sound like? I have a link to a video, of the noise I’m talking about. If you have any ideas of what it could be, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks.

You have me stumped on that one. 🤔
