Well, tomorrow morning our Aztec goes in for it's 39th annual. Gosh, you'd think after 39 times, they'd have just about everything fixed on it!!  This will be a fully owner assisted annual. All three of us took a few days off from work and will have our screwdrivers totally worn out by the time everything is back together. 40th for our C172F, finished this week after 3 weeks of downtime due to scheduling conflicts with the A&I. New rotors, brake pads and scat hoses, tachs low by 50 rpm. Whats the deal with the CO detection thingie, we've never had that before? I've put a CO detector in every plane we've owned though...

Well, tomorrow morning our Aztec goes in for it's 39th annual. Gosh, you'd
think after 39 times, they'd have just about everything fixed on it!! This will be a fully owner assisted annual. All three of us took a few days off from work and will have our screwdrivers totally worn out by the time everything is back together. I'm just hoping the engines are fine, other than a nagging oil weep on the right engine, they sure seem healthy. Everything else should be fairly minor as we've been doing extensive preventative maintenance and minor upgrades ever since we bought it. I'll keep good notes and report in with the results.

I wasn't aware of that particular inspection protocol.... -- Cheers, John Clonts Temple, Texas N7NZ

Top and bottom cowls, nosebowls, rear nacelle panels, spinners, and all
inspection panels pulled. Tomorrow the interior comes out. So far all we've noticed is that the left engine needs a new alternator belt and some residual grease on one blade of the left prop (beneath the spinner), hope that isn't a problem. Jim

Jim Jim, Is there really any of that stuff in the side panels? Just curious. My Cherokee has nothing but wiring in the side panels. All my cables are in the central tunnel and under the hinged back seat deck. So, all I have to do for inspection is lift the seat deck, unsnap the tunnel carpet, and remove 2 small inspection plates. I have not peered into an Aztec lately. Thanks, Mike
