Bryce, great video. You can perform the manual gear extension in flight. Bring another pilot and/or have a good autopilot. Set the autopilot up, ensure no traffic. Pull breaker and start cranking. Good practice in the Bonanza is 10 turns, stop adjust power and verify no traffic. 10 turns, power, traffic. repeat. I agree all owners should do it at least once.
This is very true, I also .ake the point in a new video that you can also get the chance to pop out emergency exits. Something you could also do in the hanger without a mechanic present. I do think both things are Something you should practice at least once in a new to you aircraft
👍
Just wondering as another A&P IA with interest in part time work on the side, where are you located? General area is ok.
Did you start by word of mouth as far as business?
Do you bother with an LLC and/or insurance?
6 years GA experience, no longer work GA currently. 12 years total experience
I started by word of mouth, you would be amazed how many people at the airport will come talk to you when you are working in the hanger. Obviously, conversation starts, and the next thing you know, they are asking for an annual.
I had maybe 2 clients when I first started doing this and I helped another IA who is a close friend. 1 of my clients told his buddies about me, and the next thing I knew, I had 7 or 8 aircraft that I was regularly working on.
I make enough money to pay for my tool calibrations, manuals, and misc supplies. And some more to enjoy my car hobby. The wife and I have always agreed it's extra cash to spend of fun. I've paid for vacations, car parts, and jewelry for our anniversary with it. ( I literally paid for my wife's wedding ring with my side money) The night I proposed, she said that explains why you were working so much lol.
I do not have an LLC yet, but I think it's 100% worth it and will get one eventually. The same can be said for insurance. I've been lucky and have only ever had to swallow small items like a cracked side window.
@@brycebuildsit greatly appreciate the information/advice! For me, its getting the word out there and how to legally access the airport (AOA area) at the same time. They can escort me, but I know that can be a pain for owners. I know many gated airports require insurance, thus gatekeeping independent mechanics off the field.
I did join the local EAA as I do like the community, I just am trying not to seem to direct, but maybe I should talk with the local flying club…the local FBO has no actual interest in working on anything other than Cirrus, and is soon raising their rates to an insane price (hopefully raising their mechanics pay too for my friends sake) that will probably keep all but the Cirrus owners away. Used to work as Chief Inspector there, until things got stupid and Ieft.
Basically, at this point I’m waiting for it to come about naturally, but maybe I should be more proactive.
@@brycebuildsit Thanks! Appreciate the advice and info!
Hardest part for me is getting the word out and 3/4 airports within an hour are fenced/gated needing AOA badges. I can always get the owners to escort, but I know that’s a pain sometimes and airports usually want insurance, which can keep Independents off the field.
There is an FBO at home base, where I got my GA experience, left them cuz it was getting ridiculous there. They seem to only want to work Cirrus, and are pricing themselves accordingly, so I may have an opportunity that way when prices go up.
Joined the EAA chapter, but I’ve been trying to let it come naturally, but maybe I should be more productive and ask if they ever need assistance. There is a flight club too that may be an option to work with, but we will see.
Ummmmmm, I'm a subscriber and you've been doing plenty of work on my Bonanza....
That's different. I knew you before the channel.
