Someone had shared that on the subreddit and Linus himself removed it.
I do NOT believe this is going to end well. Usually having family pilots tends to be more dangerous because pilots will become more lax, overlook shit etc. If you look at commercial or private aviation accidents, you will be surprised how much friends and family can be involved in the breakdown of safety.
Yeah, which ties into the fact that this jet is going to be a money pit. Most people get private jets for business. As Linus said himself (due to price of Jet-A) that the cost of flying the aircraft down wherever they went and back is cheaper than booking first class. People buy these things so they can transit from A to B quicker without the hassle of airport terminals and for a better experience, but also speed. This also requires you to have overseas work. Where is Linus going to fly to? What overseas businesses or duties he has to attend to? I honestly think he is going to pawn it off at some point in a few years when the plane gets like 50 hours of flight time at most and he keeps spending up to a million a year to upkeep it and paying the pilot payrolls to make sure they are around often.
He's going to be taking an very laymans take on safety, and probably get the thing grounded. Pretty much any fuselage modification is a safety concern, even most of the interior. The main body covers protect the plane from the people as much as anything else, the interior mountings aren't something you want to overstrain or just bolt/weld shit randomly too, the entire electrical system is one big "fuck this up and everyone could die" risk. Something as simple as "I poorly mounted a TV bracket" can lead to someone being injured or worse when the aircraft hits some nasty turbulence - Which smaller aircraft and lower flying aircraft tend to 'feel' much harder - and it breaks off and goes bouncing around a cabin. It could injure someone, take out someone or some thing important, or compromise the fuselage.
I think it is probably best to add that he talks about how parts of the aircraft were somewhat not airworthy I.e needing to back off one of the bolts for the overhead panel so as to make it not short out the illumination. Is the fix simple? Yes, but he spent money replacing power supplies for it and also this would still need to be logged down and approved of as an actual fix. That sort of thing is easy. But with the modifications? The aircraft will run a bit higher on the weight when gold plating more of it and just randomly putting shit in, of course Linus cannot account for this because he did not think of it. Either way, I absolutely think that he is probably going to try and cheap out on the repairs which is going to absolutely fuck them (or at worst get them killed) in the long run.
Other major concern in this regard too is if he wants any modifications to the chair system or things like the main door to get in and out of. It is also a total fucking pain to get any modification approved of because you need guidance from the manufacturer (Dassault in this case) to get back to you with their engineers allowing you to give you the go ahead to have it be an approved modification. There is a shitload of paperwork involved in these things, aviation maintenance is a paper first sort of industry with how it operates by law.
