Anyone have any credible A&P recommendations for a C-172 pre-buy in the
Tulsa OK area? Thanks; Carl |

Good idea asking for recommendations. I wish I had done so.
I would highly recommend NOT using Southwest Aviation Specialties at Riverside Airport. When I (in my ignorance) allowed them to do a prebuy/Annual on my 172 in 2001, they left the seat stops off, installed the pilot seat belts backwards, left two ignition wires loose, didn't check the fuel tank repair for leaks, left a copper seal off one spark plug, and left a tool under the floorboard near elevator cables (found at the next annual). They also overcharged considerably, in my opinion. But other than the listed items, I think they did a great job! G I have learned a lot from and since that experience. And it reminds me - I need to look up the result of the FAA action being taken against them at that time. Must not have been anough, as their web site still lists the same people as working there.

Hope the tool was a nice one. Snap-On, maybe? You can bet your ass that there was no action taken, other than the customary slap on the wrist. They would rather go after pilots that don't have all of the paperwork in their planes. |
