737 Hydraulics - Wheel Well Tour

[@ghislain2005]

Great video. I've been in the wheel well hundreds of times during the walkaround, without understanding anything of what I was looking at. If only we could have had that kind of presentation during the 737 type rating...

[@ChrisBrady737]

Thanks for that kind comment. I agree, you can only take in so much during your line training. I am working on developing a 360 format for these videos with Cranfield University which will hopefully be even better.

[@stehughes2]

@@ChrisBrady737 Hi Chris, I agree your videos are excellent, very informative and perfect for consolidating learning after a type rating and with a bit more familiarity with the aircraft. I’m just wondering how your 360 degree videos are progressing? Are they likely to be available on here?

[@ChrisBrady737]

Hi Steve, sadly not. Work on the videos was not taken forward. Maybe in the future.

[@motorsportstalk1096]

Chris, cannot thank you enough for these videos. It takes a lot of dedication and passion for putting them together.

[@ChrisBrady737]

It was a lot of work but what better way to spend a lockdown year! Glad you are enjoying them.

[@yburak1]

Sir, we need more captains like you... Thank you so much for the effort you put in your presentations...

[@ChrisBrady737]

Thank you Burak for your kind words and thank you for watching. Safe flights to you.

[@duncanmacniven2414]

Another brilliant video, massive thanks to you for putting it together Chris. I’m sure I speak for a lot of 737 drivers when I say that your videos have been a fantastic resource while preparing for a return to flying. 👍

[@ChrisBrady737]

Thanks Duncan, I appreciate your kind comments, sentiments like that genuinely make it all worthwhile.

Years of practice 😂

[@ElfoRomagnolo]

Thanks Chris for the great video: very helpful in remembering all the purely theoretical info we have in our manuals. That’s what learning is all about. 👏👍🍷

[@ChrisBrady737]

Thank you for your kind words, glad it helped.

[@RedEye737]

Information in your videos is simply amazing. Can't wait to get my hands on your book. I am a visual learner, so alongside schematics, actually locating these things and knowing what they look like and where physically they are at helps it stick in memory, even if I am doing it just in a home simulator. Thank you again, Captain Brady.

[@ChrisBrady737]

My pleasure, glad you are enjoying them

Hi Chris I'm from South Africa how can I purchase your book? I'm an Aircraft Mechanic.

[@omegalul9992]

Thank you for all your videos. Started a type rating ( for mechanics ) past week and its really nice to see all the components irl .

[@ChrisBrady737]

You are welcome. Best of luck with your type rating.

[@sodakworld4864]

Chris you are the best. Thank you

[@ChrisBrady737]

Thank you very much!

[@MarkSmith-km2fw]

Hi Chris, many thanks for making these videos. I'll be using them to prepare for what I hope to be an imminent return to flying! I hope I'm not being rude in making a video request, but I'd love to see a standard walkaround with explanations from yourself on things you consider worth looking out for before flight.

[@ChrisBrady737]

Hi Mark, glad to hear that you are finding the videos useful. I will certainly put the walkaround on the list. Enjoy your flying when you get back

[@MikeOBrien0]

Another great vid! Love these tours of the actual components!

[@ChrisBrady737]

Thanks Mike, I have a couple more of these planned but Hydraulics, Landing gear & Ailerons/spoilers were the big ticket items in the wheel-well.

[@MikeOBrien0]

@@ChrisBrady737 look forward it! Yeah, loved the aileron/spoiler one too!

Chris sir..Awesome explanation, feeling it's just like refresher crouse for me ☺️ keep updating myself , i never worked on 737 classic but it for me great video now i see how chance of classic to 737 NG & max. Waiting for more videos

[@ChrisBrady737]

Thanks Babul, I am hoping to re-shoot these last 2 videos on an NG soon so that people can see the differences.

Great Tech Video series Chris, it’s been a while since Air Nova days!! I’m just converting to 737 after previously flying A321 and B757 & B767 before that. I miss the EICAS 😬

[@ChrisBrady737]

Hi Michael, Great to hear from you again after 30 years! If you flew the 75/767 then you will get along just fine with the 737, especially if you are going onto the NG/MAX.

[@michaelboyd9434]

@@ChrisBrady737 Thanks Chris, hope you’re keeping well. It’s an 800NG course for me.

[@vikkimcdonough6153]

It looks positively steampunk in there with all those pipes and reservoirs and valves!

[@ChrisBrady737]

"Steampunk", great phrase, I just looked it up. Over here in the UK we would probably describe it as "Heath Robinson" (same sort of thing!)

[@danielconlon2388]

Chris, I've watched all your videos. the level of detail speaks volumes to my inner engineer and pilot. as a ppl I soak up anything aviation wise. as a frequent passenger on 737s with a nervous wife she knows i can assure her or bore her asleep with all the technical information. especially when she says "what's that noise" etc. on a less humourous note, my sincere gratitude to you for these technical videos. I thoroughly enjoyed the one on fuel. do pilots of ac need to know this knowledge or is this engineers territory? I ask as any work I've done in the past I've had a compulsion to learn every detail. even if it's not technically mine

[@ChrisBrady737]

Daniel, first of all, thank you very much for your kind words about my videos, it is always gratifying to hear when they have been well received. Re the level of detail, the videos go far beyond the basics of what a pilot needs to know into engineering and nice to know territory. Pilots have a huge appetite for knowledge about their aircraft as a good understanding of the systems helps to understand or diagnose any problems that may arise in-flight.

[@Joefixesit]

@@ChrisBrady737 I am not a pilot although my dad taught me how to fly when I was 15 in a 1946 Aeronca Champ with a 65 horse continental and understand aviation mechanics are much more precise than say working on my VW diesels. I only wish I would have stayed with flying rather than chase skirt in my spare time. I love watching your videos and am amazed at the thought that goes into designing and building these complex aircraft. Keep it up!

Juan brown sent me here. Otherwise,the only interest I’d have in the 73 is flying in one.

[@brettbabcock]

What is the red staining on the hydraulic tanks and on some of the walls? I was thinking that it was either a corrosion preventative or possibly dried on matter from a fluid leak. Thanks for the great videos!

[@ChrisBrady737]

It is a corrosion protection coating called Dinitrol.

[@josecheja]

Amazing detailed video, and likewise all the series & systems Chris. Questions (2): You mention on it, that this video goes alongside another Hydraulics presentation. Is that still pending to be uploaded ? Any videos also on Operational flying, Maneuvers, etc ? Again, thanks for sharing that much info (I bought your iPad book already). Kind Regards.

[@ChrisBrady737]

Thank you for your kind words. The second hydraulics video was uploaded 2 hours ago (link below). I try and avoid guidance on operational flying as different operators have different ways of doing things, sometimes very different! kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3qap2yCrs5jrLc

[@josecheja]

@@ChrisBrady737 Thanks for your reply Chris. I know what you mean, I think one day, someone would put a video together like "7 ways to do VNAV on B737"; "8 ways to fly a NPA LNAV Approach": etc. etc. (Q): You planning on uploading more presentations ?. Its fumy and not worthy, but the way your book describes the "history" of every system and sub-system (how it evolved over time from the -100/-200 to -NG and Max), helped me to understand and memorize many facts and figures, while studying for the NG !

[@ChrisBrady737]

Yes plenty more videos coming, Flight controls - split into roll, pitch & yaw; High lift devices; Fuel; Warning systems etc etc. Understanding the history and derivation of the systems and panels has also helped me understand the aircraft, we must think the same way!

[@jilla245]

Great video Captain Brady! Can you make mention of where the Landing Gear Transfer Unit would be located?

[@ChrisBrady737]

I thought I mentioned it in the video. Anyway, it is on the keel beam just in front of the PTU.

[@jilla245]

@@ChrisBrady737 awesome! I will watch it again for sure. I recall you mentioning the PTU for the flaps and slats but don’t remember hearing about the LGTU. Great information and definitely helps us visual learners! Keep going Captain!

[@johnberg7901]

Many thanks for the guided tour--now I know a wee bit more about what I'm looking at during a walkaround. Speaking of which, I'll echo the request from another pilot for a full general walkaround and explanation of the "gotchas" that you would be looking for. One point to make-I have my volume up to maximum on speakers and video and still find it too low for quite a few of your presentations (I have to turn it down during the adverts). Is it possible to increase your sound volume output from your end? Thank you again for all your great vid presentations.

[@ChrisBrady737]

Hi John, thanks for the feedback and suggestion. Re the sound, the early videos were too quiet but I have since changed headset and I thought they were now OK. If I record them any louder they come out a bit distorted so I think the volume will have to stay were it is. Re the walkaround video, it is on my list. All the best.

[@TurboTimsWorld]

Chris Many Thanks for the amazing videos, Are flight crew actually this fully trained as engineers to point out each pipe ? as an Airshow world follower your videos are real insight, Thanks

[@ChrisBrady737]

Hi Tim, Thanks for your kind words. No, fligthcrew don't have to know most systems in as much detail as engineers, although some systems like navigation and automatic flight we probably know more about. My videos are intended to bridge the knowledge gap between pilots and engineers (both ways) giving both professions an insight into the world of the other side. Most flightcrew have a thirst for the extra knowledge that our pilot manuals just don't give us.

[@mateuszmista738]

Hello Sir, I have a question if I can. Is the stb hydraulic pump an electrical motor driven pump? And is that a rule for 737 800 as well, that hydraulic fluid reservoirs for system A, B and stb system are located in the main wheel well bay? I am a student and I want to thank you very much for your videos. Even though there is a lot of knowledge to convey, you do it in a systematic manner, making practically all issues understandable even for those without experience.

[@ChrisBrady737]

The standby hydraulic pump is electrically powered on all generations of 737.

[@mateuszmista738]

Thank you

I wish I could but I can't get permission to film in an NG or MAX wheel well.

@@ChrisBrady737 ouw😕

[@lifeofranco]

Why is the B system tank larger?

[@ChrisBrady737]

Because the services that the B system supplies require more fluid. On the Originals the A system had the larger tank.

[@lifeofranco]

@@ChrisBrady737 thanks for the reply, is that the case with NG as well?
