On my 5.5 hour flight from NJ (KCDW) to GA(9A1) last Friday night I "lost" to various places 2 quarts of oil. That's 33% of the starting amount and double the loss during a similar duration flight just a few days earlier. That was enough to scream "rebuild me" to me even though it's only been 1557 hrs SMOH. So the engine's already out of the plane and on a pallet.
I've chosen our very own Charlie Melot's Zephyr Aircraft Engines to do the work. The quote was for a 4 to 5 week turn time (The low end of that would be greatly preferred Charlie
).
Now what do I do for a month? I had scheduled to fly to Columbus, MS to do the physiological training (altitude chamber) and Sun n Fun, but
. So what's a grounded pilot to do?
