  No Brakes, Wrong Fuel, and a Sideways Nosewheel | Monty Chicola

  Jul 31, 202620 min

  In this episode of The Malibu Guru Podcast, Joe Casey sits down with longtime PA-46 owner Monty Chicola to hear the stories, close calls, and hard-earned lessons that come from thousands of hours in the cockpit. Monty shares how he got started in aviation, why he bought his first airplane sight unseen, and how the Piper Mirage changed the way he traveled with his family. He also recounts several unforgettable moments, including losing a brake, landing with the nosewheel turned sideways, and discovering that his Mirage had been filled with 80 gallons of jet fuel. Along the way, Monty explains the three rules that have guided him through more than four decades of flying: commit to being competent, take care of yourself before every flight, and never be afraid to say, “No, we’re not going.” This conversation is packed with real-world PA-46 experience, practical safety advice, and the kind of aviation stories that can only be earned over a lifetime of flying.

  Upgrade or Sell As-Is? Preparing Your Aircraft for the Market

  Jul 17, 202635 min

  Thinking about upgrading your airplane before you sell it? You could spend thousands and still not get that money back. In this episode of The Malibu Guru Podcast, Joe sits down with Casey Aviation sales specialist Eric Earl to discuss which aircraft upgrades actually improve resale value—and which ones are better left for the next owner. They break down some of the biggest decisions aircraft owners face before bringing an airplane to market, including: • Should you install or upgrade onboard radar? • Is a new propeller worth the investment? • Should you overhaul an engine that is approaching TBO? • Will fresh paint or a new interior help the airplane sell? • Can a modern avionics panel increase value or speed up the sale? • Is it better to simply sell the aircraft as-is? The answer often comes down to timing. Upgrades can make an aircraft more attractive and help it sell faster, but most sellers will not recover the full cost, especially when the improvements are completed immediately before listing. Joe and Eric also explain why owners should consider upgrading earlier, enjoy the improvements during ownership, and bring a more desirable, ready-to-fly aircraft to market later. Are you preparing to sell your aircraft? Let us know which upgrades you are considering in the comments. Casey Aviation can help you evaluate your airplane, price it accurately, and develop a strategy to bring it to market. Learn more about Casey Aviation: www.flycasey.com
