My goal was to make sure the airplane was safe and reliable for normal flying and aerobatics.

He's also really responsive which is refreshing, Highly recommend.

December 16, 2017…read more JetEXE Aviation hosted a Christmas party. Invites were sent out, and I RSVP, as soon as I received my invite. The function was held in the hangar. All planes were relocated outside for this event, except for 2 planes. These 2 planes were the back drop, of this function. Welcome, Introductions 630 - 700 pm Drinks & Hors d'oeuvres 630 - 730 pm Buffet - style dinner 730 - 900 pm Door prizes and Silent auction 900 - 930 pm Live band "Golden Caddilacs" 730 - 1030 pm Fund raiser for Charitable 501C3 Snehacare for abandoned children with HIV Http://snehacarehome.org Everything was set up accordingly. They had 3 bartenders, making sure everyone drinks were topped off. LOL The band was playing good music, which had a lot of people on the dance floor, including me and van. The buffet style meal was plentiful and delicious. The line for this meal seemed to flow without hiccups. It seemed Venus was in charge of this department. (she works front desk) Job well done I saw Chris (operations manager) running around and making sure things were in place, like extension cords, to make this event happen.. The silent auctions consist of paintings, trip to Mexico, etc... They also had candles for sale. Not sure up this point how this turned out. Augustine, the owner, greeted everyone, making it such a warm welcoming environment. It was nice to see people involved in aviation and being able to meet them first hand. Can't wait till next party hosted by Augustine !!

Here's the corrected version of the text:…read more Worst annual experience ever! Abdi broke things--the DG, the hydraulic system, the brakes, etc. In the process of covering up what he had broken, he broke more things and damaged the aircraft even further. The first time he told me the plane was ready, the nose wheel was installed backwards, and the brakes couldn't hold at anything over idle RPM. Who knows what else was wrong. I stopped checking after the brakes. The second time he told me the plane was ready, the magnetos were miss-wired, and the P lead wouldn't kill the engine. He also damaged the hydraulic system and couldn't fix it. After four months and my insistence on bringing another A&P into his shop to inspect it, he finally called LASAR for help.

Cessna 3912R cleared to lose elevator control or "emergency engine out ditch landing" those we're…read morethe words that I would use if me and my partners stuck with Aeroventure in Petaluma. After a few years with them and pretty shady work I recommended a new mechanic. I decided to go with Phil because Ive met him during my flying lessons out of Davis. Flying the same plane every other day (Cessna 65415) I wrote up a few sqwaks. The sqwaks were mostly resovled by Phil seem to do a good job of it. Since I've seen his work, I decided to do our annual inspection through him at Davis Air Repair. Boy am I glad I did. Let me mention a couple major things that should have been caught during the previous annuals but for some reason never came about. 1.Left magento dead at idle. Now I know why the engine floods at idle and felt like it was ready to stall at around 500rpm. I complained about it to my old mechanic and all she did was bump up the idle to 800 rpm. Nice way to hide a bad mag. or maybe she just skipped the whole idle mag. inspection. 2. Elevator cable locked up and frozen at pivot point. Humm, does it look like I have a death wish? WTF? I don't know how long it's been there but my new mechanic said it's seems to be so long that he only could free it a little bit but suggested to get it replaced. 3. Both left and right brake rotors shot and rusted almost all the way through. Wouldn't that be part of annual inspection? A brake system check? I know it didn't take 12 months for rotors to rust through. I can go on and on with my old mechanic. Phil at Davis Air Repair is different. He discovered all the problems wrote them down, had me come in, show, explain, and what my option are if any. He took the time to answer all the questions I had, and did not pressure us into making repairs that were unnecessary. It was like a 2 hour education session included in our annual. Now that I have gone through this with Phil. We pretty much said will be scheduling another annual with u in 12 months. Did I mention he is also very reasonably priced?

Called these folks and I believe the owner himself came out to my plane and volunteered to hand crank. He did it and while I was tending to the airplane he walked away. I couldn't kill my engine yet, so I secured the airplane and then went looking for him. Could not find him to pay him for his kindness and time. I don't believe he ever expected to be paid. A true airplane brother. Thank you so much!
