Having been painting on the MAX8’s this past year, I feel like there’s a design flaw on the winglets. The leading edges of the previous winglets have been a metal sandwich. The max’s on the other hand are composite all the way around. So when you paint a max from nose to tail, one must remove the erosion boot on the leading edges of all four winglets (upper and lower; both sides). And replace the erosion boots after paint. These boots cover about 75% of the whole winglet and cost like $8k per boot. Plus the AMM gives very little leeway on temporary repairs and allowable damage, other wise one will have to replace the boot. And holy it’s a process to R&R the boot. But they do have a smaller boot one could use in replace of the larger boot per the IPC. The guy who designed the max winglets are definitely friends or family of those who design erosion boots lol.

This guy has really ignited my afterburners for my love of aviation. I’ve always had a love for mechanics, and once I get my GED done. Only ELA and science left I think I’m gonna go to school to become an aircraft mechanic. But right now I’m focusing on my GED. Thanks you so much for all the content, and all the valuable information I’m learning from you Stig. Keep them coming!!

@ wow thanks! Would love to see the details of the HUD or IMU or something like that. I absolutely love how passionate you are about your job and how seriously you take the responsibilities of it. people like to argue with me about how aviation is the safest form of transportation and when people have doubts about it I will just start sending them to your Chanel lol. The way you treat your job as a responsibility and not something you need to “get over” or half-ass is really inspiring and comforting. As someone who has been interested in aviation my whole life, it’s awesome to see someone who has the same level of enthusiasm and want to learn. It’s amazing how much effort you spend to teach us and your willingness to use your position and experience to help others learn things. Like I said before keep up the fantastic work I look forward to everything you have to offer. Fly safe :D

Well the thing about that is that we don’t do fueling and defueling unless it’s a maintenance issue. There are fuelers who are not mechanics that are responsible for that task.

The beautiful ballet of the landing gear & doors retracting/closing is always awesome to watch 👍 Speaking of watches, the white Porsche 911-R has the name-and-logo of TAG Heuer, a Swiss luxury watchmaker.

I know you won’t do anything that isn’t permitted. Thank you my friend.

good morning Stig, Hope all is well. I have a few questions. I noticed in the cockpit areas there are a bunch of flat head screws still being used and they are all turned in the same direction. Why are Phillips head screws not being used throughout? Can you tell if an aircraft tire is low by just looking at it? How often are the planes washed on the outside? They always look clean, but due to their rapid turn around schedule, how is time scheduled for cleaning the exterior of the planes? The wheels always look dirty from the brake dust. How often are these cleaned? Also is American Airlines planning to attain any of the new 777 X's? Once all the issues are corrected.
