I can't think on anything worse than an engine fire and it's important to=
 discuss what to do when you have to deal with an in-flight fire. =20
=20
It's interesting how the timing of things work out.  On the ES list, we're=
 having a discussion about making your own oil hoses for a remote mounted=
 oil filter.  Whether to use Aeroquip fittings and hoses like we use for=
 our fuel lines from the wings through the fuselage, or have professionall=
y manufactured and tested hoses made to order.  The consensus is to only=
 use professionally built hoses in the engine compartment.
=20
It's way too early to conjecture of what happened in this accident, but I=
 think any engine fire has the potential to be caused by faulty hoses or=
 incorrect fittings, poor firesleeve installation, or anything else that=
 might have been overlooked during engine installation or maintenance.  I=
 started having an A&P "annual" my engine every other year.  He's a Bonanz=
a mechanic and works on two IVPs on the field also.  Every time he's found=
 a couple little things.  I think there's an increased risk that something=
 will be missed when only one set of eyes is responsible for making sure=
 our engines and airframes are airworthy.

Any accident causes me to reflect on my own level of skill as a pilot and=
 MECHANIC.
