People Are This Stupid

Customer comes in. A regular customer but a fix it when it breaks type. Some will understand. Having oil pressure issues but he watched a youtube vide that showed him oil sludge in the oil pan can cause this. Wants us to remove the oil pan and clean it out. Gave him the price for what hr wanted and he did not like it. His reply to the price. It can't be tgat hard to do tge video was only 6 minutes long.

I wish I was close enough to bring routine stuff to you man.

I don't care what it costs, just do it right so that it won't need to be done again for a while.

Just today, I took out citation jet for a test flt, with the owner. We could not duplicate the problem, but on final approach we encountered a new problem. Burning smell in the cockpit. We landed and shut down. Inspected everything under the instument panel and avionics in the nose. Couldnt duplicate, and it was closing time. Owner still wanted to leave with acft. Nothing i can do about his decision, as dumb as it is, to take an acft flying that has a burning smell, yet unidentified, is his choice. Yes people are stupid, even smart ones......

Find somone you can trust. Best mechanic you can find is the one that will advise you to buy a new vehicle. Yeah I won't make much $ on your new ride but you'll remember we didn't try to screw you. We can make $ and not screw you to do it. Find a tech that you trust.

You got some balls to get in an aircraft with a known problem..... And the owner is a dumb@$$ for not leaving it to get fixed! It's not like a truck or boat where you can just walk or paddle if it breaks down!

And for the record, I'm one of those Youtube "experts". I'll fix all kinds of issues from YouTube videos, but I'm smart enough to swallow my pride when something is over my head.

Oridginal problem was not a safety of flt issue. GPS and DME issue. But second problem on approach, burning smell IS A BIG ISSUE. I nor non of my guys will get in that thing untill its fixed.
