Stig Shift #1 day in line Aircraft maintenance. (My day that is 😅)

Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, and this is probably the longest video I have ever made ever, this is a compilation of my daily duties throughout the day that I usually post on Instagram with stories, but I felt the need to share this with you. I want you to see what we do.
Feel free to leave any feedback and comments as you wish but this is the first time I’m doing this and I’m actually asking your opinion, let me know if you actually enjoyed this type of imagery and content, because I can provide it a lot more.
Otherwise, thank you all for supporting and watching and being kind hearted to aircraft maintenance, it takes a lot of work to do this, so I appreciate you being here and learning and watching
Till next time you’re truly

I am a retired AAL B-777 captain. Knowing that the technicians, working on my plane, had your positive attitude and loved your job this much made it possible to sleep at night. I flew Airbus (A319-320-321) for 19 years and Boeings (737, 757, 767, 777) for 15 years. I loved them all. The 777 was the most capable airplane I ever flew. I could take of from Dallas, fly 17 hours to Hong Kong, and still have 2+ hours of fuel on board. Thanks for taking such good care of all of us.

[@StigAviation]

It’s my pleasure and an honor to keep these beauties running tip top. Thank you for your years of service Captain, and I appreciate you being here.

As an AMT student, I love this kind of content. Can’t wait to get out there and work on these beautiful aircraft.

[@StigAviation]

Keep up the amazing studies, stay at the top of your class and learn as much as possible, you’ll be out here doing this soon 🤙

[@Red-uf4hr]

If you’re a student you’re not even close to a a and p mechanic. Don’t call yourself a amt. No one uses that term and you’re only saying to make yourself look good. If you can pass both test them I’m proud of you. But until then you’re just a nobody to a real airframe and powerplant mechanic. I can’t tell you how many idiots I’ve had to deal with over the years who weren’t a&p. If you’re planing on doing this work get a nice reliable electric drill that’s light. Saved my life and I’ll never forget using a screw driver my first week with my carry toolbox 😂 I did heavy maintenance for delta, United and boarder patrol. Being stuck in a crj700 hell hole for 20 mins with all avionics running is definitely an experience. Like being born again as an adult

I guess most of the passengers, including me, do appreciate delays very well with regards to properly executed maintenance. Take all the time you ever need and if there's something you can't fix completely we are happy to stay on ground and take the next flight safely.

Aircraft engineers are on another level of genius. Something as simple as putting one rivet in I’ve seen the process. It takes like a solid minute or two. There are like 7 steps for one rivet. I looked at some schematics of a prop plane I think, to see how they designed it to fire in a barrel is just incredible. Amazing stuff I wish I was that smart

It definitely takes a lot of dedication and attention to detail. 👍

[@bazwabat1]

Just found your channel and watched this and loved it. I'm an engineering tradesman (not aviation) but have been involved in flying and aircraft restoration so was geeking out. Air New Zealand dabbled in doing BBJ fit outs on the 737. Back in around 2015 or so at their engineering base they had a brand new 737 sitting in a hangar which I was lucky to be allowed to view. It was owned by a Russian Oligarch(probably spelled that wrong!) and it flew from the factory with no interior apart from the cockpit seats! Air New Zealand designed the custom interior which inclued a double bed with a mirror on the ceiling........I kid you not. I got to see the same clean undercarriage bay since she had obnly done maybe five landings? Anyway great video!

[@StigAviation]

The rich will always splurge on their aircraft as always, I have seen many of those types of aircraft. In the old school days, I even saw a classic L 1011 with gold plated delivery across its side, and the interior was almost fit for a king probably was.

[@sprinklersolutions3247]

Stig great video! I love your passion for what you do. When you do what you love it's never work. I wanted to go into the Air Force when I got out of high school. I scored high for mechanical ability and wanted to pursue that career but unfortunately it didn't go that way. I run my own irrigation business in Houston. I guess that's my calling but I too am passionate about taking care of my customers. Anyway would enjoy meeting you some time if our paths ever cross. In the meantime keep the videos coming. Cheers!!

[@StigAviation]

Thank you so much, my friend I appreciate it, and we all have a certain path in life but the fact that you still enjoy Aviation and have a passion, for it is the blessing in itself. It’s a small world I’m sure we will run into each other.

Im a DL AMT. I absolutely love my job and am so blessed to do what I love. I was born for this and have had aviation in my blood since a kid. Nothing better than jets. Heck i even named my cat Jet. 😂 Started working on jets at 19 years old. Im 47 now and still love it. Hate it for the passengers when there are delays but that is my time to shine and I love the pressure. Line maintenance to the end !

GOD I MISS WORKING ON JETS !! 8 1/2 years in the Navy as an Aircraft Electrician and I got to work on both jets and props so I was fortunate but anyone that has never worked on or around jets will never understand how aviation gets into your blood !! Being on the flight deck of an Aircraft Carrier was the coolest experience of my life and nothing will ever compare. I may go get involved with volunteering up at Oshkosh to maintain older Aircraft and for the EAA Oshkosh Airventure Airshow so I can be around working on Aircraft again !! Thanks for sharing your daily adventures and keep on sharing and posting man cool channel bro !!!!!

[@StigAviation]

First of all, thank you so much for your service, from what I understand aircraft carrier deck is the most dangerous place on earth and probably the most exciting. That would be an awesome experience if you got to work on those old birds at Oshkosh. I definitely need to go out there to experience it myself one of these days.

My first job, 24 years ago (makes me feel old), was on a company doing passenger->freiggter conversion on DC-10s and Md-11s, also doing maintenance on 707 AWACS. Believe it or not, after 20+ years, when J get onboard of a plane, I think on how many turnbucles there would be under my feet and I look around myself like a kid in the kindergarden. I believe aviatiom is one of those fiels which gets down in your soul. And I also do believe you deserve MORE (much more) followers on your channel! Keep on going! :-)

[@StigAviation]

When that bug bites you .. it’s all over. You are forever an intertwined with aviation.. and for the few of us that choose the art of aircraft maintenance… well that’s a whole new level of accomplishment… without people like us.. nothing is flying. And I truly appreciate you for the kind words and wishes… I don’t much look at followers or numbers.. as long as one person can take away some information and quench their thirst for knowledge.. then I did my job right. After 25 years of fixing (and many more years to come) I want to give back to the industry that gave me purpose in life.

Great video Stig. I enjoy them all.Lot’s of good info and also explaining the passion you have. Many times, passion is what keeps us coming to work. From working mids as a young AMT, the airline bankruptcies/layoffs in the middle of our careers, to getting fed up with changes as older AMTs. It’s the passion that makes it worth coming to work every day. Of course the pay and benefits aren’t bad either, finally….

[@StigAviation]

Kelly you said it perfectly. Remember when they told us in the beginning, be careful, the aviation bug will bite you … well once bitten there’s no going back. You love it forever and for aircraft mechanics.. well we are a different breed of people… We Fix.. They Fly … watching my birds push out and take to the sky’s is satisfaction and pride that I/we made that happen.

[@LunarCavalier]

amazing content man, has helped me a lot for my tasks at work as being a trainee at b787s. thanks Stig! now for the technical question: EBA - electronic brake actuator so that would mean the EBAs are supplying 50% force to the brakes with the parking brake set? ' it relates to 4 of them on each brake because there is 4 EBAs per brake.

[@StigAviation]

Perfect answer. And I’m glad these videos helped. 🤙

[@voytekcyvr1936]

Absolutely love your videos. How did you discover that broken bolt on the Airbus and second question how those brakes are really working, what parts are moving, for sure I did not found a video explaining the details. Now 737 Max I was surprise to see how low that engine hangs. Since you mentioned I will tell you that I like them both, each manufacturer has different design but they all do the job safely. Thanks

[@StigAviation]

Good question! I discovered the bolt because as I was doing my walk around, I noticed damage on the brake fan itself, so I investigated further, which led me to finding the broken tie bolt. It’s all about attention to detail. The brake works much like your car disc brake, there is a piston that pushes on the discs. An aircraft you have multiple pistons on rotary stacked discs.

[@1987whitez]

It's nothing like watching and listening to a professional who actually works and enjoys his work on this aircraft 'thank you and talk all you want its good conversation and average person can learn something for you. Kudos for you bro.

Many thanks! As long as there’s airplanes around me.. guaranteed I’ll keep talking. Thank you for being here.

[@KjosephB]

Love the enthusiasm. No better job then a job you love.

[@StigAviation]

Perfectly said 👌

[@Tordan69]

Non-googled guess about EBA is that it stands for Electric Brake Actuator, there are four of those per wheel, and they can be individually set to apply a percentage of max possible force. Maybe it´s an upper limit since I´m assuming that the brake force is modulated depending on autobrake settings and of course how much the pilot pushes on the brakes. I´ll now check the other comments to see how much off target I was. :D Edit. Hey, not too far off target! So the value shown is the actual amount applied at any time? And it shows 50% due to the parking brake being applied? That leads to a question back from me. From what I understand hydraulic parking brakes are released when chocks are in place. Are electrical brakes kept on at all times, or was there another reason for having the parking brakes applied on this plane? Love your enthusiasm and style of video!

[@StigAviation]

Well done on the answer, that was pretty good. And thank you so much for being here. I appreciate you.

[@peepopalaber]

I have not a problem with it to admit, that i have googled it.

@@StigAviation It’s a lot of money, and I’ve already started on my other dream with zoology. If I could split myself and live two lives I wish I could do that, because I would love to have both careers. But alas, I don’t think it’s realistic or possible unless I want to spend a lot of money and a lot of time in school. Who knows, life is crazy and so am I.

Stig!! Used to love your videos on Instagrams, no longer have instagram but really excited to find you on KZbin! Your 100% correct, if there is 1 addiction I’ve picked up from aviation it’s coffee. I drink coffee all day long. Aviation runs on coffee! I share your love of aviation and this job. I’m blow away every day that I get to work on the airplanes, walking around the airplane puts a big smile on my face everyday! Love the 787, it’s an amazing aircraft, my favorite I’ve worked so far, truly an amazing piece of engineering! EBA Force is the percentage of brake pressure each Electromechanical Brake actuator is applying to the brake pads. You have 4 indications because there are 4 EBA motor/actuator assembly to each MLG brake assembly. 50% brake pressure indicates you have the parking brake set.

So cool how each plane is different yet so similar. Videos like this make me almost want to quit and go to line maintenance for some sort of airline.

I personally would encourage you to apply to the major airlines, but it’s up to your comfortability and lifestyle. As long as you’re happy and what you’re doing, that is the most important thing.

Just fantastic thank you

[@StigAviation]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@ScottJLake1]

I enjoy your enthusiasm. Don’t ever let someone take that away from you.

[@StigAviation]

Never ever. I love this job to much.

[@stevevu2816]

awesome video, it could help me and many people that like to learn about aircraft mechanics , keep it up and hopefully you will have public more videos about this 🤙

[@StigAviation]

I hope so too. The goal of this is education and enthusiasm. Showing the world that there’s more to aircraft than just buying a ticket and flying. So much effort goes into making sure it’s safe. Thank you for being here and enjoying it

Thank you very much!

Started as a mechanic in 1978 until 2010. I got called a prissy boy because I wore calf skin gloves. Back then real men didn't wear gloves. Another trick I did. I kept a bath size 12:58 bar of Irish Spring soap. Before I started working on anything I would rake my finger nails across the dry bar to pack under my nails with soap. Simple nail brush at the end of the day. No oil / grease stained nails. My wife appreciated my clean nails. I subscribed, you seem to be a good kid.

[@StigAviation]

My dad taught me that trick too when he was teaching me how to work on car. And thank you Sir. Much appreciated for you being here.

[@maxgreencowlishaw]

As a dispatcher/Operations Manager for a major, hard to express how valuable this is. You guys work too damn hard to get your work buried by TOMC. Thank you for what you do.

[@StigAviation]

Sometimes that’s just the way it is, but I love my job and proud that we can get these aircraft into service safely. We are the ghost of aviation. We fix you fly. 👍
