...to N342EA. This airplane is usually based in Entebbe, Uganda. It came over to Nairobi for some maintenance just before the accident three weeks ago. We have begun working on it this past week and continue through this week. Here's some of the pictures I've captured of the work.
Lance Atkins and I removed the engine so that we could install the dual forward mount conversion. Here's Lance getting the engine ready to remove.
Here's the engine on it's temporary home. We did lots of inspection on it while it was off the plane, too, since everything was very accessible.
The dual mounts have been installed.
Ready for an engine again...
Tim Carpenter, AA pilot in Loki, helping with the 100hr inspection. He's removing the fairings for the pod from around the landing gear legs...
...and here's Lance's legs. He was inside the pod holding the nuts on the back of the screws for Tim to remove.
Not much room in there. :) Short termers always get the weird jobs...sorry, Lance.
The engine is now back on with its new Hartzell prop. It used to have a 3-blade McCauley.
While the plane is down, we're also putting on the Vortex Generator kit. It's looking good.
Jerry Hurd...with lunch in hand.
