Our airplane is in the beginning stages of the annual. The engine is timed out so it goes as well. Our pilot is the most meticulous detail oriented people I know. His log books are a work of art. Since it is his butt in the seat he insists on the airplane being in 100% tip top shape. I can't say that I blame him.
We have one A&P mechanic that is an old Grey that does not feel motivated enough to want to do a engine swap. We hired a young gun A&P that works full time at the FAA so his mechanic job is just a side job.
All three of them get along great and they make a good team. Our pilot wants to be there helping and doing the parts he can do. He wants to see with his own eyes things are done by the book and nothing is overlooked. The prop is at the prop shop. The fuel lines are all getting replaced this time around. Lots of while we are in there things are getting done. The young mechanic was blown away by the log books our pilot keeps. He sees a lot of log books in his day job and on his side job. Many private pilots get very sloppy with log books, especially men that own their own airplane.
