Private Jet Interior is Removed! - Tech Tuesday

[@RDOIreland]

Hi! Loving the videos. Hawker flying control cables are all under the RH and center floors. LH stores avionics. I'm a hawker engineer based in the UK.

[@billcox5217]

This was fascinating, including the knowledgeable comments. Tech Tuesday is a wonderful service to those of us who just want to know how this industry works. Thank you.

[@richardschindler8822]

Ahh reminds me of the good ole days. As a 125-700/800 pilot, as well as A n P mech, I saw and also did much of the work, just like this and more many times over the years. Can’t say I miss that part of it. Thanks for letting me relive my past.

[@LukePylypciw]

Now that’s a view we don’t get to see everyday!

[@robertdmoore2592]

Ooooh boy, I'm retired now but do I remember those inspections! The other thing is folks go back and take a close look where some of those components are and imagine trying to access those with the interior in! Holy moly!!!

[@Will-ol9lp]

Nice very $$$$$ to fix. Goto get her back up in the air to pay fir all that work now. The best part is that your company wants a safe aircraft for its crew and customers who use them.

[@chuckeberth4370]

Another great Tech Tuesday Shaun. Not often we see a naked airplane.

[@tedferkin]

I never realised how much they rip apart the interiors to do these inspections. I now get why they are so expensive. It does make you wonder how the economies of private jets work, not that I am wanting to see you out of a job, but it is definitely a premium service.

[@scotty11782]

Thanks CPL

[@ibaw9962]

That was very interesting. I thought it would be boring but it was really cool to see the cabling and the anti-corrosion as well as the torn out cockpit.

[@billnicholson2470]

Great vid. Keep the tech stuff coming. Love seeing it all.

[@flyingdutchman700]

Another nice tech tuesday Shaun. Happy landings.

[@johnfitzpatrick2469]

Thanks Shaun, That's a major inspection. Great to see the cables and frame.🍧

[@chriholt]

Always love Tech Tuesdays - thanks Shaun!

[@austingreen5606]

Great video! I used to work in the maintenance side on A300's and most Boeing aircraft but now I'm in production for the A220. Much better

[@jaylena682]

something you don't see everyday! Very cool! Great video!

[@bigd-1-channel514]

EXPENSIVE is the word.

[@zoozolplexOne]

cool!!. what a heavy maintenance :-)

[@bendixon2898]

thanks

[@edpippin]

Thanks for the Tech update really interesting.

[@rikspector]

Shaun, If you have to replace the mufflers and catalytic convertor it's going to really get expensive😁 Cheers, Rik Spector

[@sloopjohnb.24]

Interesting to see the cables for the flight control surfaces. Is there redundancy in those so that if one were to break or get stuck the plane can still be controlled?

[@Jorgeola757]

Enjoyed the vlog. Thanks

[@philanderson1200]

Make sure they don't have any "extra parts" when they put it back together 😳

[@harveyweizman]

when are you guys doing an avionics upgrade? If and when you do, can we get the thing on camera?

[@golfnovember]

I remember tearing down a timed out Lear. Looked worse!

[@maesc2001]

Never be the first to fly an airplane after major maintenance 😉

[@LMays-cu2hp]

Thank you so much.

[@kenismail1979]

Keep up the great work enjoy your videos

[@SpringDivers]

Shaun. How often does a maintenance cycle like the one you're going through occur? Is it hours or time or a combination of both? Thanks for the informative video.

[@hawkerteach]

Wayne, The "B" check that Shaun mentioned is due every 800 flying hours. There are other inspection at different intervals. Some are by Flight Hours some are based on Calendar. 800 Flight hours would be usually around 2 years on an average operation.

[@SpringDivers]

@@hawkerteach I guess the upkeep can exceed the purchase price over time.

[@paullie7773]

Cool vid !! Thanks for sharing. Love the channel

[@Tom_YouTube_stole_my_handle]

Very interesting view.

[@johnkoetting7198]

How many hours on this aircraft.. big job thanks for tech tuesday

[@Excitable67]

Very cool!

[@kurlis]

I imagine it has to go through a recertification after, that said who flies the plane, is it one of you guys and is it a voluntary assignment (paid of course)?

[@darwinawardcommittee]

Strap the mechanic to the nose cone.

[@jeffreygosselin1143]

Hi Shaun! Is this overhaul done in house or did you send it out for the work?

[@NewfiBERN]

I was surprised that there are control cables instead of fly by wire systems. Is that common in smaller jets or is it a function of the age of this particular aircraft?

[@hawkerteach]

Bern, The Hawker was originally designed in the early 60's. Not much has changed in the basic design since then. Many airplanes use cables. Fly by Wire technology is something that is newer, mostly in the last 10-15 years.

[@johnfarr2738]

Another great video Shaun. How long does the entire maintenance overhaul take on a plane?

[@Nbolanos0624]

Worked on Hawkers for 5 years. Never again! those airplanes are total nightmares to work on. Not Mx friendly at all. God have mercy on the poor souls that work on them.

[@nojabformeeducateyourself3393]

What do you all use to detect corrosion? I bet all that cost a petty pennie too

[@Hlc123]

awesome

[@russellvanklassen9291]

question Shaun i have flight 24/7 on my phone and I live close to YVR today I had a plane fly overhead it was a cjr5000 but the call sign was navcan the I went to digital phone service and listened to the atis and they were saying navcan was shooting ils approaches is this to see if the glide scopes are tuned right ??

[@andre5468]

Yeah they do ILS testing, they were here in Alberta about a month ago.

[@russellvanklassen9291]

@@andre5468 is that to check the ils beams or what is the purpose of them doing that

[@gekkedirkie]

That must be a big bill after there done

[@darwinawardcommittee]

Nice

[@tommino8970]

1:22 Fly-by-Cable :-)

[@hawkerteach]

The original Fly by Wire. Big Wires!

[@atubebuff]

I'm a little surprised the cables aren't more protected than that. Like a red transparent casing to prevent anything falling into the area.

[@G8R8R]

@@atubebuff They are not covered like that so we can inspect them, looking for frayed wire strands, worn down areas (like around the pulleys), kinks, and corrosion within the strands. The also have to be tested for their tension.

[@theoriginalcv2753]

I can’t imagine how much something like this would cost a pj owner. $$$

[@hommie789]

Shaun, who operates the equipment for testing? Do the mechanics do it or do they have to call a pilot in even though it's testing on the ground?

[@G8R8R]

Not Shaun, but I am a corporate mech with over 39 years experience. As far as testing on the ground (pending company rules for insurance reasons) there are usually a couple mechanics that are qualified to do engine runs and taxi operations.

[@michaelloder5150]

shaun thank you again... I am a big Follower and also do you have the link to your page so i can order a hat? I am a huge fan of your channel...thanks so much.....

[@georgeberg2106]

Are the Gulfstreams cabled or fly by wire ? Is one more reliable than the other, or is it for weight or some other reason ?

[@G8R8R]

Gulfstream mech here.... all of the older Gulfstreams are cable airplanes. They have recently developed 'fly-by-wire' technology (meaning the control cables are replaced by electrical wiring). So far, they have been doing rather well with the upgrades. As far as the weight issue, the control cables really do not weight that much, so the savings is negligible.

[@iamtheomega]

I wonder if they 'own you' (your time) for the wage like other aspects in the transportation industry, if you're like a long haul OTR [plane] driver...as long as they pay up $$ or reduce your "work" commensurately, it's all good, whatever you and/or the market will bear/tolerate.

[@WolfPilot]

Is this the yearly annual or a 100hr inspection?

[@SmokiesDen]

0:08 It's a B check which is every 800 hours.

[@Brazerusa]

Please get back to the Gulfstream!

[@kenbryant2570]

How often do these airplane go thought a major check like this?

[@SmokiesDen]

They run on schedules. Both flight time and calendar time as well as some on landing count. For each one specific things are checked and the schedules run concurrently. That's why a lot of operators target a certain number of hours a year based on the specific aircrafts maintenance schedule e.g. 300 hrs or 400 hrs or 600 hrs. They want to try and synchronize their flight time and calendar time schedules. So for example, if you had to do 400 hour and 12-month inspections you would want your plane flying as close to 400 hours a year as possible or a multiple of it. The reason being is whenever your plane is in maintenance it isn't earning charter revenue. So if you flew 600 hours a year it would have to come in for insection 8 months into the year for the 400 hr and you would have to either do the 12 month early or send it back out only to have to work on it again in 4 months to do the annual then 4 months later would be the next 400 hr then the next set would synchronize with the 3rd 400 hr and the 12/24 month. You would want to try and push it up to 800 hours a year so you could do the 400 every 6 months and the annual with each alternating 400 or fly her less and do 400 hours a year so you can do both the 400 and the 12 mo at the same time. This would actually be a good topic for a video from Shaun talking to whomever's job it is to map out each aircrafts schedule and talk through how they use that data to dictate their fleet management strategy,

Thanks for this video. Hawkers are high maintenance. Don't ever buy one.
