Another awesome Tech Tuesday!!! Always love watching. Thanks for the appreciation to us AMT's, that maintain those mechanical birds!!

[@WolfPilot]

Keep those tech videos coming! There is so much more to your job than just getting ATIS and working the rudders...

[@Heli4213]

As a pilot I love your videos but what I really love also, is the fact you go through the engines and parts and maintenance and you just educate everybody to think it's great. PS We still need Polo shirts with your logo small on the right side !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! People will buy them !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Yjdrake]

Tech Tuesdays are my favourite part of every Wednesday

[@Cardinal-headings]

Tech Tuesdays are great.

[@LMays-cu2hp]

Thanks for the tour.

[@LMays-cu2hp]

Please be safe.

[@DarrellLischka]

Awesome video....cool to see the inside of the engines...cheers

[@matthewdowd4686]

Looking at all the fittings and lines on a jet engine utterly stimulates my inner nerdness sooooooo satisfyingly! Thanks Shaun!

[@vonw.3294]

Would love a hour of this. Great work!!

[@videopokernetwork6824]

Say what you will about the A/C. That white floor is magnificent.

[@davidharris2519]

great tech video

[@myckee]

Thanks Shawn. Great video.

[@djblanton]

Love your videos. Tech Tuesday is always a fav!!!!

[@larrymayberry2312]

Enjoyed the informative video. Continued success to you.

[@StealthParrot]

Very cool! I love seeing what's under the covers. Thanks Shawn.

[@richc47us]

thanks Shawn!

[@billnicholson2470]

Informative and interesting like usual. Love the Tech Tuesday stuff.

[@Breenild]

Love that tech videos! They're very interesting!

[@Repented008]

L-10-11 C Check was a sight for sore eyes.

[@glenscheible]

Thanks Bubba for the walk through. Interesting for sure.

[@johnfarr2738]

Love the paint job on that plane

[@paulski6145]

Dude! I thought John was doing this tech Tues! New look! Looks good!

[@Rwalt61]

Love the video. When I worked at the hangar out at Spirit I was the only person at the hanger beside the security guard and chief mechanic and I was able to assist him doing a leak test and engine run up on a Cessna Citation Jet. The most interesting thing I ever done.

[@george7672]

Interesting, thanks!

[@vetterfellow]

Shaun Where does the tattletale Black Box live?. I thought it was that bright orange box at the tail. Couldn't see this interesting stuff by our selves. Thanks ol Buddy. Hope the Family & Chocolate Milk are doin fine. See ya !!!.

[@seatravel8536]

Great exterior color scheme

[@kevincollins8014]

That's really cool

[@MJ-fh8fw]

Like these Tech Tuesday vids, I wish you time for Tech Thursday vids as well.

[@ecossearthur]

Very interesting!

[@N98858]

Hey Shawn... Thanks for the tour and critique! Hope all is well ';-)

[@Projectoxcart]

Nice Reverse Thrust Buckets reminds me of the One"s fitted to Concorde

[@jjbidd1]

Greeting Shawn from Jackson Mi .

[@stevefrazier2207]

Love the shirt. Happy to see you are doing well. We still owe you beers and food out here in SoCal. Maybe a fly in for a CPL meet and greet.

[@stevefrazier2207]

What about a Shawn and John reunion in SoCal for beers and food?

[@jamnow9779]

Great bit ,, Would like to see the retracts operate ...

[@eichelro]

You look just like John now!

[@richardschindler8822]

Being a retired corporate pilot as well as A and P mech, I’m missing those days. What better way to show the confidence in the job I just performed than to take it out and fly it. No second guessing, did I put that screw back in, did I safety wire those nuts?

[@chriswalters8110]

First thing I thought of was the hanger scene in the movie Fletch! “It’s your 7th fetzer valve. I’m going to need some pliers and I’m going to need a set of 30 weight ball bearings....”

[@yogib37]

Former A&P tech here. Looks pretty clean so far. good video

[@robertm836]

Did you at any point work at PBI Gulfstream

[@Klaatu-ij9uz]

Shaun -- Just for "kicks", I looked into your Alerion web site and got into the news article about some of your clients' weird flight requests. It's tough to run a "high-end" client business at times. You certainly came through for them. None-the-less, we can see that your business will continue booming in these commercial airline restricted times.

[@shoop4040]

I am always nervous and super alert after I am in an aircraft that has been on a service call or an annual.

[@rikspector]

Shaun, With all your new responsibilities I'm very grateful your still able to have tech days. You are quite knowledgeable about the mechanics /electronics of air craft, is this a requirement of Corporate pilots because of plane size/company size etc or because you have your own you tube channel and enjoy keeping us informed.? I'm sure you carry a repair kit with you at all times including chewing gum and duct tape:} Cheers, Rik Spector

[@bruce2357]

Thrust reversers opening in flight are bad, unless you want to recreate the glide slope of the Space Shuttle. I read an article years ago about the jet they used to train the Space Shuttle astronauts. I believe it was a Gulfstream and they had to use the thrust reversers in flight to simulate that brick like glide ratio.

[@RussellD11]

That happened in S America, I think Argentina many moons ago. One bucket opened on take off and the plane crashed , was a huge accident with many ground casualties.. They are not possible to open unless the landing gear switches are on, meaning weight on the landing gear.. but this plane had a bad switch so it allowed it somehow.. crazy accident.. look into it..

[@bruce2357]

@@RussellD11 No one mentioned an accident, why are you attaching this to my comment?

[@RussellD11]

@@bruce2357 because i did, as they have caused accidents.. so block me

[@Braun30]

Could have done the same with a Hamilcar glider loaded with a small tank. Knew one of the pilots who tested the thing during the war. His comment was that a sack of spuds flew better.

[@n0rbakn0rbak38]

Nice Breitling

[@frankthomas855]

I was going to ask if it is the "Navitimer".

[@williegillie5712]

I’ve always liked seeing the inside of a turbine engine. It amazes me how fast those parts spin and the amount of thrust they deliver

[@jjsmallpiece9234]

You aren't seeing the inside of the engine. You are seeing the external gearbox and assessory components. The inside is usually only exposed once an engine is removed from the aircraft and in the overhaul workshop, to see the compressor, combustion chamber, nozzle guide vanes and turbines.

[@williegillie5712]

JJ Smallpiece I have seen the inside of RR Trent 972 and the CFM 56 used in the bigger airlines as well as the smaller Pt6 turbine used in the Kodiak, Caravan, TBM and other aircraft. AgentJayZ has a channel he tears apart old spays and repurposes/ rebuilds for generators kinda neat They are quite the engineering marvel.

[@johnfitzpatrick2469]

G, day: it's interesting that the APU is not located in the tail. I'm thinking about the 737 with it's larger APU that runs many systems of the plane. Thanks for the videos.🇦🇺

[@atubebuff]

GREATEST JOB IN THE G-DAMN WORLD. Good for you Sean/Shawn/Shaun (has this ever been answered?).

[@matthewdowd4686]

🤣 I was looking through the comments to see how everyone else was spelling it!! He has said I’m sure but I can’t remember.

[@dannywilliamson3340]

That's a good spot for the ELT.....last piece to arrive at the scene of the "event". Is that other box a flight data recorder?

[@nemo227]

Just be sure there are NO leftover parts when it gets put back together. I hate when that happens.

[@micahgoodreau]

Does Alerion still use flightdocs for maintenance planning, scheduling, and tracking? I'd love to see a video about that. I live over on the west coast of FL not far from the flightdocs HQ. I have thought about getting a job there. They seem like a really good company.

[@bigd-1-channel514]

55 second mark, is that a crack on the bottom in the white are just fore of the rivets? I dont see anything similar on the starboard engine. 1:24 mark, nice chrono what is it?

[@MikeInElma]

Love the CPL polo! Also can you share what video editing software you use? I've recently purchased a drone and do not like the free options available. Thanks Shaun and as always love the channel!

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Thank you! I use Adobe Premiere Pro for editing. It's great software, but I hat that you have to do a subscription to use it...

[@matabeleman]

so does your watch..

[@frankthomas855]

I have to ask. Is that the Navitimer?

[@hawk4174]

Does the maintenance crew work 24/7 in shifts?

[@RussellD11]

So unlike piston engines, these actually use (or burn) quite a bit of oil yes? like you need to add quite often?

[@CorporatePilotLife]

The Rolls Royce engines found on Gulfstream aircraft (before the G650) do use a good amount of oil, but the TFE engines on Hawkers use very little.

[@danward8720]

When they take parts off do they clean them to get the soot, etc., off them before putting them back on the a/c? (Specifically the TR buckets.)

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Probably not...LOL

[@russellvanklassen9291]

im like what the Hawker got hurt

[@tedferkin]

What was the flashing red light on the hangar ceiling, during the first part of the video

[@adamdarnell7996]

That is part of the Anti-bird system. The pigeons hate the beeping.

[@jjsmallpiece9234]

Are you sure the thrust reversers are operated by hydraulics? Every aircraft I ever worked on, the TRs are operated by an air bleed from the engines. Using hydraulic oil would be high risk - an oil leak around the engine exhaust is likely to be a fire risk. Now that would be really bad in flight,

[@adamdarnell7996]

Hydraulics on mechanical thrust reversers. Most commercial airliners use bypass air instead.

[@jjsmallpiece9234]

@@adamdarnell7996 Exactly my point. Wherever the air is taken from, safer than oil hydraulic systems.

[@cheech111477]

Anyone notice how the power cart looks like The Donald!!

[@johnp6987]

cheech111477 definitely had a face 🤣

[@JoeSmith-nu8oo]

Do they offload any fuel before jacking it up?

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Depends on the maintenance being performed. They can, but don't have to.

[@timothymiller5975]

Hey Shawn. I am in no way questioning or judging your appearance with this question... I hold for different type ratings from three different aircraft manufacturers, in each of them I learned in the operations manual that facial hair other than a mustache would interfere with oxygen masks ability to seal. Do you guys use an oxygen mask different from those found in most airliners, or did They revised the testing, so that it now permits Chin facial hair?

[@CorporatePilotLife]

That one is still up for debate. The latest study by Air Canada showed that it doesn't interfere with the seal of modern oxygen masks, but I do know that studies in the past have shown they will not seal over facial hair.

[@JoeSmith-nu8oo]

Do you stay in touch with your old flying buddy?

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Unfortunately, no. I've tried reaching out a few times, but he doesn't seem to be interested in talking to me anymore.

[@JoeSmith-nu8oo]

@@CorporatePilotLife Well that sucks.He didn't seem to be that type of person,I mean Pilots are generally outgoing and friendly people in life.

[@datruth9872]

Gotta lift up the skirt to see if it's ok ! Nice Job ! As always. LATER.😎

[@robdotcom71]

Shaun's broken the jet and they need to fix it now.... ;)

[@robdotcom71]

On the serious side... this is stuff we would never see... Thanks Shaun.....

Fire detection/ suppression.
