'Good' Annual This Year
Thought I'd make a quick post about our annual this year. Came in just over
$1k, for the normal inspection, plus: New EGT probe (EGT was inop) New Brackett air filter housing. (Due to AD?) ELT Battery Gaskets... #1, #2, & #3 valve covers, dipstick tube, both mags, and pushrod tubes on #1. New Voltage Regulator. (we had intermittant charging problems) 'Installed' autogas STC, filed paperwork, etc. About 16.5 hours of labor all together. Another lucky year! -- Ben C-172 - N13258 @ 87Y

over $1k, for the normal inspection, plus: Good job, Ben. We had our first really "good "one ever, this year, at around $700.00. Another couple of those, and it will make up for that first $4900.00 one!  -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"

Wow, now that's an annual. -- Peter

Another lucky year! 16.5 hours for a thorough inspection with all the manufacturer's checklist items completed?

Yes, the airframe and engine logbooks state that approved checklists were
used. Why, is 16.5 not enough time for a 172? "Jim Vadek" wrote 16.5 hours for a thorough inspection with all the manufacturer's checklist items completed?
