Boeing 777 Engine Change

[@aviationandcars556]

Used to watch this 7 years ago when I was little now 7 years later still enjoy watching this video

[@TH3PLA1NP1L0T]

Aviation and Cars indeed! A very nostalgic video for me!

[@pepijnbosvelt2526]

Same! My dads an aircraft mechanic, and he showed this to me when I was 6 or 7. Since then I’ve watched it many times.

[@justarandomguy813]

Me too

[@adrisingh9954]

No joke.. same thing with me.

[@swif2301]

Same

[@R5H4D0W]

Care to tell what music was this? impressive replacement, how often does this need to be done?

[@sirlego1]

Thats a pretty cool vid. Are you an aircraft mechanic? Im an AME in training.

[@Johnyboyknowsbetter]

Sweet Video! I must say, I download your video, as mp3, just to get the music, lol.... But really, cool video, I wonder, do you work as a mechanic? Cause no one has accent to get there, unless u work there, cause my father in law is a mechanic too. I ask him if they let me to see you guys, and he said: "They dont allow anybody to be here, period".

[@737FSPilot]

Awesome video, thank you for posting this! ...And check out that thunderstorm at the beginning of the video!

[@cskoseki]

@jaygibbs84 That's an effect called "windmilling", when just the wind turns the engine. A light to medium (I don't know exactly how fast) wind is enough to make this. Even when the engine is on the wing this may happen.

[@ByeBemo]

Omg I watch this when I was 6-7 I miss this video so much

[@simpledudeable]

3:44 Tow truck comes in 'dammit im late'

[@sunsethorizonstudios]

Who else came here when they were 5?

[@mickithebush]

This was just an awesome vid! Good job, mate!

[@k0nn0r]

Love the video, great position and great choice of music :) One of the best, 5 stars!

[@leticiamorales8700]

Whats name the music?

[@PateaLaLuna]

Nice video, I'love the engine's sound, thanks for upload it. A lot of people ask the same thing, what's the song's name? RyanHemsley

[@MrKenkoh]

Thanks for uploading so much precious information about the B777.Its my favourite aircraft.

[@StratMatt777]

That was a great vid! Christy, AA has RR Trents on their 777s. You can tell that they aren't GEs because they don't look HUGE. RRs have the smallest diameter, PW is a little bigger and the GEs are massive.

[@quickstr]

great video,well done. I'm about to start gound school on the 300ER,can't wait it's a beast

[@CaptainFox91]

Incredible. I love the b777 Good job, very nice video

[@IceManTBG1]

wow in sofia (bulgaria) last week 777 El Al land emergency with the same broken engine (right). Good video, what is the second song? :?

[@munger2166]

Sir your engine has been replaced on your 777 will that be cash or credit card

[@hananokuni2580]

About 6 hours for an engine change? I thought it would take less time. Really nice to watch this. I really miss being an A&P mechanic.

[@fokkerairbus]

what a nice video ,, it is amazzing the wing structure to support this heavy engine ,,,, how many bolts are used to attach this engine to the pylon ??

[@Justl0ok]

beautiful music in the background !!!

[@speedbird188]

@zeesham13 the original 772, 772ER and 773 were powered by either GE90's, RRT800's or PW4000's.. all the other 777 variants were powered by the GE90 (77F, 77W, 77L)

[@cansinatra]

Thank you! Your video help me a lot because I needed to explain how a jet engine is replaced.

[@hananokuni2580]

@gerry626 Tell me about it! I once worked at an MRO and there was a DA B733 parked outside the hangar. Whenever the breeze blew it would go CLACK-CLACK-CLACK clackety-clack. It was so annoying I finally got a spare electrical cable and tied it around one of the fan blades to stop the fan from spinning. Standard procedure calls for a big inlet plug, though.

[@HEADBANGBALLER]

Do we know why the engine was changed out? Was it scheduled or was there a problem?

[@SporkMan2000]

@mine1username and this has exactly what to do with an engine change video?

[@Torch134]

@brandons72vette Oh they do? My dad is just going to training to fly them next month for AA haha but i have heard on some websites that say the pilot just sleeps in a reserved 1st class seat?

[@bryandPR]

great video man! loved the music and facts! "15 million.............Each" BOOYAAHH!

[@mrdonal06]

The cowls are left unlatched for idle engine runs, this allows the engine to be inspected for air and fluid leaks while running. They are later latched closed for high (takeoff) power runs.

[@-Wreckanize-]

@PrinceBV i dont think these are the ge-90's, i think american airlines uses rr's,could be wrong tho

[@planes1997]

wow! this a really cool. i love planes so much and its cool to see what they do when they change engines and also they had some extra light from the lightning!

[@adlsp]

I'm flying in a 777 from EWR to TLV next week. Can't wait!

[@Minotauro79]

I take it that not much is changed over to the new engine. It's takes us much longer to change RR AE 3007's but we're changing fire loops, epmd's, and all the bleed ducts over.

[@charleskiel2299]

The way the wing moves up when the engine is removed...simply cool

[@brandons72vette]

My dad flys these, this is the b777-200 which uses the Rolls Royce engines, but American just bought 2 b777-300 3Rs, which uses the GE engines and is 50 feet longer. In case you didn't know, the crew has their own bunk beds which is pretty sweet.

[@Ten1987]

a simply brilliant video!!! a must see!!

[@Z06ified]

Awesome vid! Thanks for posting this.

[@Rocketman1882]

Great video. We actually got to make a small pulse jet in a propulsion class. Go Boeing and go Jeppesen!

[@jersonvzor]

what is the song?? great video!

[@susbox5554]

No body will never know

[@Qgal5kap123]

The Trent 800 is lighter, which makes more sense for short haul flights.

[@JibbyQ]

Does AA own these engines or is it a "power by the hour" kinda deal?

[@swompdogg7]

Nice vid. Very professionally done. A six-hour engine -change is very impressive. Q.C must have been busting their balls ! LOL Kudos.

[@ZephytheDragon]

@cskoseki I believe it shows that the engines are perfectly balanced?

[@ApFolf]

i love it how theres thunder in the background, fit pefectly with the song

[@Mayish28]

wow that is amazing with the lightning in the background at 1:02

[@jonghyun725]

Why do they need to replace the engine? Is this routine?

[@HesJustSteven]

@mrcable1996 no it is Rolls-Royce because the engine size is smaller than General Electric and the spool-up sound is different and if you look at the front cone the spiral is bigger than that of GE Boeing 77 engines

[@DARKSCOPE001]

wow look at the replacement engine windmilling just from airflow. I heard that without the engine being on that its not good for them to windmill because the bearings dont have an oil jet being sprayed on them. and that allowing the bearings to spin over while being cavitated will eventualy damage the races and balls. just what i heard

[@txav8tion]

WOW! very neat video!

[@luccacerminaro8003]

Great video what’s the song called?

[@brandons72vette]

Any airline pilot who is international or few domestic flights have 2 first class seats reserved automatically, but with the 777...they not only get the first class seats, but they get a bunk bed with a private tv..it's the best "seat" on the entire plane besides the left seat in the flight deck. The first class seats turn into beds and have personal DVD players/ tvs for each chair just like international 757s/767s have. The tripple 7 is huge and it really is the best plane in the fleet!

[@AdrianBorreg123]

excellent video and good weather to work!!

[@FerroequinologistofColorado]

AMAZINGLY COOL!!! I have never seen a real Boeing 777 engine swap before. Thx for uploading this video of a Boing 777 engine change

[@johnhuang3298]

It’s not called boing777.its called a Boeing 777

[@john2k24]

sorry to hear that man... my father works in Bay 6 on 767s, I work at TAESL but due to my extremely low senority (I'm 25) I'll also be getting the axe. I feel for you elder AMTs though as you all have families, mortgages etc. to support. Any chance you can bump to DWH?

[@planedudea380]

AA uses Trent 892 engines, but the 772 does use the GE90 like Co and BA

[@weav8060]

why is the new engine rotated while awaiting installation? To keep birds out?

[@bulsara80]

This beautiful video but the song in the background as it called?

[@GaCCow]

@houshidar558 They swap them because of maintenance purposes so this engine will be in for maintenance and when that is finished it will be put back into service and replace another engine that needs maintenance done!

[@Nyck461]

Very nice video. It must be a hard work replacing an engine. All those technicians must work in a perfect harmony.

[@mine1username]

It's unbelievable the Antonov 225 has a maximum takeoff weight double of the 777. That's crazy! Gotta love the 225

[@DennisL0L]

i love the lightning in the background, amazing

[@jaygibbs84]

Why are the engine blades spinning on the spare engine before it is attached? Whats turning them?

[@john2k24]

Wind

[@HesJustSteven]

Good to see they're not doing an AA191 engine treatment

[@robertodruciak4194]

Steven Francis i8

[@an147]

That depends on the engine, because they change the engine model in an A380 very often: From RR Trent 900 to Trent 1000 to New Alliance engines.

[@Apertravel]

Because it only operates the 200ER. When it starts operating the 300ER sometime between now and next year, the GE90-115B will see some action.

[@johnmessina9721]

cool video....what was the music?

[@3ISAMAGICNUMBR]

So how much do each one of those cost?

[@Karim2clean]

do they usally chang engins

[@mohamednaciri5653]

good work for the team with boeing 777 engine so what is the song?

[@wakeupsheep]

this at DFW?

[@sirlego1]

Pretty good vid but some of the stats are wrong. Most aircraft burn a quarter of their fuel on take off and all the way up to cruise altitude. Also the price of the engines is more or less 25 million. To change only one fan blade would cost $250,000.

[@markuks]

which is bigger in terms of fan diameter? this trent or the ge90?

[@prxgamer2295]

GE90

[@FF35Pilot]

Do AA operate out of Dallas Ft. Worth and United Airlines operate from JFK?

[@bagrat22]

@mantodowhattodo well said. it's why i fly continental, but the merge with united scares me. i was so turned off by the condition of AA's plane.

[@CaptainFelixTan1]

@mariereyes28 btw whats the name of the music!!

[@YoBroMan]

That first tune sounded a little like Zeppelin's No Quarter. :)

[@CubsFanJohn]

Your thinking of the Boeing 777-300ER/-200LR's.

[@danielchivas1010]

so what do they do with the one they took off ????

[@TheExplosiveAmerican]

What are the songs in the video?

[@JMG717]

Ah.. Well, I bet you don't have several A&P Techs helping you disassemble that desk, while at the same time following strict company procedures. lol :)

[@planedudea380]

Awesome vid!

[@n310ea]

Although Airlines can choose what engines they want to put on, does Boeing recommend a certain engine for that type of aircraft?

[@markgodbolt]

Great Vid!!!!

[@an147]

The 777-200LR uses the GE-90-115B as well as the 777-300ER. I like both: The T7 and the A380 but I love most the T7. :D

[@martin.B777]

Thanks for sharing! Are ground engineers/technicians allowed to taxi an A/C and test an engine as seen in this video or only pilots are allowed to do this?

[@777wrencher6]

Yes we at AA can be run up and taxi certified

[@hockeydude1235]

Can I have the old one? I smell a science project in the making

[@WanderingProphet]

15,000 lbs each! I wonder how they don't fall off the wings...must be really STRONG wings

[@InternetKev]

Thanks for posting.

[@MaliciousSRT]

16 dislikes = 16 children were on mommies computer.

[@mjmqubesi]

it seems the new engine much more better....it works without fuel!!!

[@coralreefer14]

@Juliansworld no rolls royce trents, this is american airlines. no american airline uses the -115b only the -94b

[@captain150]

1:55 watch the wing move up as the engine's weight is removed from it. Cool.

[@PrinceOfDubaii]

Amazing Lightning behind the Air Craft..

[@MrDogez]

Why do they make the engine fan spin during the change? Do they use an air-bleed starter?

[@john2k24]

The engine is just windmilling from the wind. They’ll use APU bleed air to start the engine

[@metra0808]

wait dont airplanes have tv on long flights?

[@GNX157]

Anyone else feel like the side cowling didn't match up to the fan blade cowling as tight as it should? The gap at the bottom doesn't look good. Also, why was no lighting used up under there to get a good visual on things. It looked dark and hard to see,.not confidence inspiring. I'd be worried they missed something under there.

[@siowwf83]

777 has the largest engine ever built. One GE90-115B is enough to fly a 747. It produces more power than the 8 engines altogether on B52.

[@boeingdude1]

the music makes it so Epic.

[@Rescue5704]

You should have put a big block 454 instead and run some flowmasters down the sides.

[@tommybass40]

American Airlines is the only US carrier that does their aircraft maintenance within the USA. I believe their maintenance facilities are in Dallas and Tulsa, OK (?) and that other US airlines either send their planes to Third World countries for maintenance or send them to American Airlines for maintenance.
