I've made years of mistakes owning my airplane, some of which I've learned the hard way and some of which I've learned after reading Mike Busch's "Engines" book (link below). There are some things you don't learn in flight school that I wish I would have learned before owning my own airplane, and I want to share some of those in today's video. I hope it helps you in your aviation journey!
