This installment in our Meet the Mechanic series takes us to the heart of the airplane: Under the Cowling. Meet the Mechanic is a series of discussion groups, seminars, and events where experienced aircraft mechanics share knowledge and expertise with the general aviation community. Here is your chance to see an aircraft engine, with the front cowling removed.
Join Jorge Robles Sanchez, SCFC Airframe & Powerplant Mechanic and Pilot, and ask him anything you’ve been wanting to know about the SFCF fleet. Jorge has extensive experience with the SCFC rental fleet, which is comprised of Cessna, Warrior, and American Champion airplanes.
The event is designed to help pilots become more informed and more competent about the airplanes we operate. Not only is it fascinating to see, it will also help you understand the system better, and ultimately help you if you ever need to manage an inflight malfunction or irregularity.
The session will be an extended Q&A period, so bring those common and uncommon questions. We may not be able to answer everything, especially if it's very make/model specific, but we can address the most important things common across all aircraft.
