Don't worry: Colleen, Paul, and I
promise not to attack your aircraft with
tools or send you an invoice.
DIY diagnosis
There are a couple of ways for aircraft
owners to protect themselves against
the frustration and expense of misdiagnosis.
Perhaps the most effective way is
diagnosing the problem yourself rather
than asking your mechanic to do it-or at
least taking the diagnosis as far as you can
before putting your aircraft in the shop.
Most owners believe that diagnosis is their
mechanic's job, not theirs, but I think this
is a wrongheaded view.
The key to making an accurate pinpoint
diagnosis is gathering data. An aircraft
owner generally is in a far better position to
do this than a mechanic is. Many problems
only occur in flight and can't be reproduced
when the aircraft is in the maintenance
hangar. If your mechanic cannot reproduce
the problem, he can't be expected to
diagnose it systematically and is reduced to
using guesswork and shotgunning-exactly
what you don't want him to do.
In addition, aircraft owners invariably
know their aircraft far more intimately
than their mechanics do. They know
the airplane's idiosyncrasies. They know
what's normal and what isn't. Frequently,
they understand the airplane's systems
better. All these things put them in a better
position to recognize, isolate, and diagnose
problems.
If you don't feel sufficiently knowledgeable
to diagnose a particular problem,
there's a wealth of diagnostic expertise
at your fingertips. Type clubs can be an
invaluable source of type-specific information.
Manufacturer's product support
can also be extremely helpful. And it's
amazing what you can learn in a few minutes'
worth of Googling.
That's why I urge aircraft owners to
take primary responsibility for diagnosing
their own aircraft problems, and to
rely on their mechanics to fix the problem
once they've diagnosed it. If you can
tell your mechanic what specific repair
you want him to make rather than telling
him what problem you want him to
