Stig Shift #20 (Aircraft Maintenance Adventures)

Welcome back everybody on another adventure with me. I am thankful to have you all here and I hope you guys enjoyed this one. As always, I will encourage you to comment and give your thoughts and opinions throughout the video, feel free to correct me if I said something wrong. Otherwise thank you so much for being here and I hope you have a beautiful day
Edit;, ladies and gentleman, a quick correction When I was talking about the 737 Cowling incident, I mentioned the material of the cowling for that particular engine. A quick correction that particular cowling on CFM 56-7B is mostly made of aluminum. Sorry about that. 
Also a quick side note in regard to when I was talking about the MCAS issue and the 737 max. I’m by no means blaming the pilots. I still put the blame on Boeing. My point was that I think (fyi my opinion) that it could have been prevented. That is all. So please don’t get upset at me for speaking my mind and having an opinion. I’m simply explaining how the aircraft works and what it’s capable of. That is all.

Edit: ladies and gentlemen, a quick correction on a portion of this video when I was talking about the southwest fan Cowling incident. I mentioned the material the cowling is made of on that particular engine, which is the CFM 56-7B. The corrective statement is that the fan Cowling is made out of aluminum material. My apologies on this. Also a quick side note in regards to when I was talking about the MCAS issue and the 737 max. I’m by no means blaming the pilots. I still put the blame on Boeing. My point was that I think (fyi my opinion) that it could have been prevented. That is all. So please don’t get upset at me for speaking my mind and having an opinion. I’m simply explaining how the aircraft works and what it’s capable of. That is all.

[@collectorguy3919]

17:07 "... you need people that are proficient in operating that machine ... they need to know what they're doing" You're probably representing a common sentiment in your industry, aiming for balance and nuance against the very strong repeat criticism of Boeing. Often times public criticism is uninformed and absurd. But, sorry, in my opinion in this case, you're apportioning excessive criticism & responsibility for the two 737 disasters on the pilots. Pilot training and a runaway stab trim procedure were not adequate to recover with undisclosed MCAS as it was implemented then -- non-redundant input from one alpha vane, high horizontal stab authority, and repeat pitch down commands at unknown intervals. That version of MCAS was very crude. Test pilots with inside engineering knowledge would have a fair chance, but that is too demanding for above average line pilots. My opinion. You're entitled to your opinion, and also recognizing you know more than almost everyone.

[@StigAviation]

@@collectorguy3919 i deeply appreciate you for your thoughts and intellectual response. If I sounded overly critical, I just want to say that it wasn’t my intention. Thank you once again for your comment.

[@renefuller9241]

@@collectorguy3919 Stig is right, Boeing chose not to add that detail to the Manual. I did hear one of the tapes, the copilot did turn off the stab trim, but it was too late, and the pilots could not recover the aircraft. Stig mentioned that fact in his comment. The other issue was Boeing relying on one sensor only. That was and is against any and all engineering rules for aircraft design. (Even the automobile industry relies on redundancy). The third issue was Boeing outsourcing the code to India. Aerospace Software Engineers would have instantly recognized the danger of that situation and not have released the code. Saving pennies to spend billions... I hope that culture of bean-counting changes very soon. Passengers, crew and operators don't give a flying fart about investors and shareholders when the plane falls apart at 16000 feet. Boeing shouldn't either.

[@trentmiller7532]

You’re an American. It’s your right to speak and give your thoughts and opinions. Thats what a democracy is Stig. Thoughts and opinions open dialogue for discussion. Unfortunately, we have a some who don’t have an open mind to that, but that’s a democracy.

STIG-you said something in the middle about taking pride in your work as you reflected on an aircraft just departing LAX with a loved one onboard! What makes you so special is that you went onto say that everyone onboard my as well be your brother or sister...THAT is the dedication that you put into the job. BRAVO-and I am so PROUD of you STIG to TELL US!! Thank you as a flying member of this community - I feel safer because of YOU. And between you and I and a couple thousand friends - pass this attitude onto all your other mechanics in ALL airlines please! Thanks for the shows - I love them.

more about Jim Gately and the cady...Being from the Western United States, Jim is relatively new to rallying but enjoys it tremendously. His rally cars are both 1937 Cadillac convertibles which he restored and make an annual trip across the world to compete in vintage rallies. He has competed in the last 5 Flying Scotsman rallies, all 4 Alpine Trials, the Baltic Challenge, Blue Train, Trans America, and the Great American Mountain Rally. He achieved 1st place in the Alpine, the Trans America (Vintageant category), Flying Scotsman and the Great American Mountain Rally. Jim is currently building two more rally cars to further compete around the world and enjoy this beautiful planet with his wife Dawn.

Love all of the videos and all that you and your fellow mechanics do to keep the birds safe and up in the air! Seeing that 787 APU door open had me doing a flashback to when I was on a cleaning crew for a 767. We used air stairs on the R4 door. It was in the winter time, blowing snow, really high winds. A crew member of mines hat got blown off and almost went into the inlet. Needless to say, we never used that side any more after that.😂

[@bradley7723]

Another great video. I have to tell you Stig I had a couple firsts in my life recently. I was able to ride in a Platus pc-12 from moses lake to Boeing field Seattle, approx 200mi and only took 40min from wheels up to wheels down. By far the fastest and loundest single engine I've ever been in. Then once at Boeing I was able to be on the tarmac around allot of jumbo's. They look big on video but when I was on the ground by them they are gigantic, even more so then when your in them. It's so much to take in, an experience I'll never forget. You get to do that on a daily basis and now I have even a better understanding why you love your career so much. 😊

[@StigAviation]

Being an expert, these beautiful jets is a very humbling feeling. You feel very small and when you begin to understand a magnitude of technology and power these machines create. it just mind blowing.

Aww, the GEnx on your 787(s) are already losing their beautiful metallic blue color on their cones after working everyday. It doesn't affect anything, but I love seeing them 😆 Stig, you know how on 787, the dimmable windows are locked during take off/landing. So the passengers can't dim them. Is the control for that also on the Flight attendant control panel? I used to think the Pilots are the one who locked them 😂

[@StigAviation]

Yes, the control for that is on the flight attendance panel, they can control all of the windows and lock them out.

[@Kgilp]

I’m amazed how pilots / mechanics can remember what each button goes to what. To the rest of us, it looks overwhelming and confusing.

[@StigAviation]

It’s honestly not that difficult, everything is labeled and most of it is very self-explanatory. It just looks very intimidating when you’re not around it, but the more time you spend with the aircraft the more comfortable you get with it.

Hey Stig, came across your channel about a month ago and I love that you share your perspective with us! I work in TechOps as well, but on the backend, so I don't often get time in the field. I specialize in cabin lighting systems for most of the fleets that my airline operates, and I was wondering if you could show what your cabin colors look like for the BSI fleets (OEM on later 737NGs and all MAXs). If you have the time, of course. Anyways, love your stuff and your attitude. I have been really happy to meet so many people in the industry that share your interest and enthusiasm.

The GE90 sure does get hot! 12:46 I've seen photos where the core exhaust is literally visible during takeoff and looks like an afterburner.

[@StigAviation]

Yup. I see that too. Looks beautiful

HI Stig, I am 18 minutes and 35 seconds into watching this video, but I just had to pause it and write you this comment, you sir, are a gentleman and a schoilar, I love watching your videos, and as far as the whole incident with Southwest and the engine cowling, when you were saying you are not a professional, oh yes, yes you are, at least in my mind anyway, you work around and with engine cowlings everyday. Thank You for your channel and your videos

[@StigAviation]

Dear Stig Aviation, I wouldn't describe myself as an airplane fan, I understand maybe 50% of the technical things you describe, but I enjoy your positive manner and patience that you show in these videos. Please stay as you are and bring some light into these dark days in our world.

[@StigAviation]

Thank you very much and I’m very happy you’re enjoying the videos and the information. And if you see something or if I say something that you don’t understand, don’t hesitate to ask I will describe it or explain it in a different manner.

[@1sostatic]

Glad you like the classics ... I wrench on 50 year old Mustangs here in the UK

[@StigAviation]

By any chance is it a fastback?

[@arthurfirth3366]

Excellent stuff! I feel more confident you having experience in a range of aircraft. If you know the difference between them, then you are good to go. ;) Flying the thing is a matter of trust in ones' own capabilities; not so much engineering? One would normally assume that, that,said process had been completed. It is so cool how many views of the world are out there. Here we are sharing them. Real time. I dreamed of this when I was a kid raised on radio. Then there was TV.

[@StigAviation]

I’m thankful that we can all sit here and talk on such a intellectual level and understand each other. I appreciate you being here Arthur.

[@aviatium7806]

What a treat!

[@StigAviation]

Thank you 😊

[@oglinkgog]

Thanks for another top vid Stig, you might've checked the oil and fidget spinners on the AA 777s I flew from/to Heathrow last year. Love the cargo cars too, but some of that LA weather is looking a bit too much like London's recently!

[@StigAviation]

Most likely I did work on the bird you were on. And yes the weather definitely is being unusual lately. Thank you for watching

[@dcolb121]

I can indeed remember using microfiche when employed by Boeing from 1979 to 2016. Going digital made it SO much easier to find things. I performed final assembly functional test on all the systems in the factory for the 47, 57, 67 and triple 7. Watching your videos bring back many memories. If you know what a Belden braid is, that's not one of the good ones. Lol.

[@StigAviation]

It’s definitely much nicer nowadays with the motor technology and all the digital manuals.

[@lmchado23]

I’m starting classes next week and I’m grateful for your videos as they provide me with familiarity

[@StigAviation]

Wishing you the best of luck and I am very happy these videos are helping.

[@jonbradshaw3385]

Thank you for answering the question of the blue light on the seats. I was on a flight recently and saw that light and my first thought was, I gotta ask Stig, he’ll know!

[@StigAviation]

Glad I can provide the information Jon. I appreciate you being here

[@CAMDO]

Love your videos Stig, I watch them religiously. I'm a passenger service agent with an airline and have decided to pursue a career in aircraft maintenance. My course starts in June, hope all progresses well for the eventual switch.

[@StigAviation]

Wishing you all the best in your journey. Don’t hesitate to ask questions. I’m here to help
