Hey Stig you got the IRS concept a bit wrong, the IRS itself only computes the inertial position by integrating data from accelerometers and gyroscopes starting from the initial position set at the gate, you can see it as being in a car blindfolded only knowing where you started from and figuring out where you are only by feeling how the car is turning or accelerating/braking, the more you go on the less accurate your positon estimate will be, and that's where the drift comes from. GPS position on the other hand doesn't accumulate errors because every second it feeds instant measurements from different satellites but it has a bigger uncertainty spread, and this is fixed with differential WAAS stations that make it precise enough to fly instruent approaches off GPS alone. In the end planes use a "tightly coupled Kalman Filter" algorithm, that in short words uses the coordinates both IRS and GPS think they are to calculate a new position that has a higher accuracy probability, and every second it feeds GPS data into the IRS to correct for the drift, like doing a new position initialization every second. Sorry if I wasn't clear, I'm an guidance and navigation engineer but english is not my first language.

[@jamesf.9429]

I'm a native English speaker and it makes perfect sense to me!

[@StigAviation]

Thank you so much for the correction, like I said I know I was explaining it incorrectly. I’m going to pin your comments so people see this.

[@davidcottington5534]

Yes, the three IRs determine position based on their movement through space (inertial). Along with the Air Data information (barometric), they make up the three ADIRS. The position from each of the three IRS is combined to generate a MIX IRS position. The IRSs also compute a combined GPIRS position using any of the two GPS systems in a Multi-Mode Receiver (MMR). A combination of the MIX IRS and GPS position is used by each FMGCs to determine their own position (FMGC1 and FMGC2). The FMGCs always choose whatever position they determine to be the most accurate. The FMGCs also continually measure a vector (called a bias) between the MIX IRS position and the GPIRS position. If the FMGCs lose the GPIRS position information, the FMGCs memorizes the bias and use it to compute the Flight Management (the FM part of FMGC) position. Kind of complicated but as you always say, there is a ton of redundancy in aircraft systems.

[@hunterwyeth]

Awesome! You keep em flying, and I will keep building them...

[@jmanEOS17]

Stig, I think I speak on behalf of most if not all of us, if you started a Porsche restoration channel and we got to watch you build a 911 from the ground up, we would watch!! Oh and it was awesome to see you live on Kevin’s stream!! Just so you know I walked up to my office job this morning BUT I said as soon as I walked through the door in my best Stig voice “Gooooood Morning everyone! Let’s have some fun!”

[@StigAviation]

Thank you so much my friend, I appreciate you being here and that was definitely lots of fun on the live stream

[@On-Our-Radar-24News]

Stig, never worry about boring us or being repetitive. I love your videos and whether your moving airplanes or at the gate or in the hangar, I am always learning something and reminded of how lucky you are to have the job you have and for pursuing your dreams. Aviation is made for people like yourself and the fact that you can share it with all of us is amazing! I'm "disabled" and although I dont like that word, its the one most appropriate to describe my situation. I was injured pretty badly while deployed to Afghanistan in 2009 and so I wasnt able to pursue my dream of being a commercial airline pilot and I am not able to do any techincal job like maintenance or anything related to aviation because of how sever my injuries are. I dont say that for you or anyone to feel sorry for me, so please dont. I mention this because I look forward to your videos and dream of what could have been. So, keep em coming pal. You make this old veteran feel apart of the aviation world I love. 🙏

[@StigAviation]

I’m grateful to have such incredible people like you here. I’m grateful that you are with me on these adventures. I appreciate you so much. 🙌🙌🙌

[@stevelong8333]

Thank you Stig for keeping it politics-free. That's the great thing about aviation - it unites people instead of dividing them. No matter who owns it, that 757 is such a beauty. So clean and shiny!

Thank you so much for understanding that, appreciate your watching Steve.

[@oliver_klozoff]

Amen to that 🤙 too much divide in the world.

Hey there Stig. Last Friday, I was accepted into the A&P school at Paine Field. It's been a long journey to get this far, and it's only just the first step. I'm incredibly excited for what is to come, and wouldn't have gotten here without you. Thanks for all your videos, really helped inspire and get me even more excited to get to work in the future.

You are inspiring young and old but please make sure that you credit the One who gave you these gifts! Jesus Christ our Lord. I don’t know you outside your wonderful videos but I love you like a brother. Why? Because I know you are of Christ Jesus and you are making a difference. I’m sorry for being long winded but… I know that when you are taken home to Heaven, you will see the incredible impact that you have had on so many, through your videos. You cannot even begin to imagine the power you have at your disposal. God gave it to you for a reason.

I have always loved how rudimentary the 737 is. It’s a blessing and a curse. A lot of it is indeed just simple such as the spring loaded ram air door for the packs. It’s all fun and games until you look at the catastrophe that is the main wheel well

[@StigAviation]

It was built in a different era of aviation. Simple, mechanical and analog. 1960s technology in the modern digital world.

[@Mabelszoomies]

I am so happy that I found your channel. I haven't flown for years and always wished I could have become a pilot. So I love aviation. Really miss the days where I could sit with my daddy at the gate and watch planes✈ take off and land. Being raised a lady that can do anything, I could have been an aviation mechanic from watching your channel. I grew up a farm girl so I can repair🔧 a lot and change tires too.😊 Too old now.💀 Lol. I really enjoy these videos especially "what is in cargo?". Even my husband likes that part. Thank you for talking about President Trumps plane. I knew it was getting an overhaul, but didn't know any details. Lovely engines and paint job. Do all airlines have maintenance look at the plane each time they come in like American? I certainly feel safer flying in the future from watching your video's. Thank you for taking the extra time it takes to post these videos. Keep up the good work. Oh, I was watching planes take off and land on another channel, the holy moly guys,when the guys saw you and you waved👋 at their camera. That was great. Stay safe!!!🛫🛫🛫❤🤍💙🇺🇸

[@StigAviation]

First of all, I just want to say big thank you for being here and I am so happy that you’re enjoying the adventures. I am sure you are very skillful and handy person seeing that you work on a farm. To answer your question most places the aircraft get looked at just like I do here. There are some stations where there is no maintenance, but not to worry because pilots also do this type of walk around inspection prior to each flight

[@rinrat6754]

This is such an interesting perspective. I used to travel extensively for work, and watching airport operations was always an interesting break. You do a great job of presenting aircraft as elegant machines.

[@aerialbugsmasher]

Howdy Stig! I keep forgetting to ask, but is your handle a Top Gear reference? 42:30 You explained the IRSs pretty well. In the bus we have to check the drift after every shut down as part of our flow. Anything over 5nm error over 2 hours we have to write up. I'll maybe get one once quarterly, I'm sure you see more. In recurrent training we occasionally practice flying with all of them failed, using nothing but the standby instruments. It's... unpleasant. 46:30 BLASPHEMER!!!! I'm jealous LAX always gets the NEOs. I hardly ever get them in DFW 😭 Great job as always.

[@StigAviation]

Yep, it’s totally a top gear reference, that’s where I got my name. I’m his long lost Aviation cousin. 🤣🤣🤣. I still think I did a poor job explaining the IRS, I pinned the comment from my navigation expert. I think it made more sense the way that person described it. Airbus is definitely gonna send out a hitman for me 😆

Stig if you ever get merch you need a shirt that says "Cargo Never Dissapoints." You could have like a front view of two or three super cars with the front view of a 767F or 777F behind them! Lol Edit: I think we can all agree Trump knows how to choose his personal planes. He just sold a Citation X not to long ago and had a 727 VIP bird before the 75..... Edit(2) I took a tour of Deltas Tech Ops in college. The 777 (the one i saw was an LR) is. VERY massive I got a picture standing in its GE-90 engine inlet.....and they literally had a MD-80 positioned under its wing LOL. The cleaners had to wear harnesses as they spot cleaned the wings in the hangar!

[@johnm3832]

Stig, I am impressed by the ordinariness of the tools required to maintain both the Boeings and the Airbuses. You use ordinary wrenches, screwdrivers gauges and other simple tools and most of your repairs are fast. The plane's computers & your routine inspections lead you right to the faults.

[@StigAviation]

When it comes to simple things, it’s all nuts and bolts. It all works the same way so 80% of the tooling is exactly what you would have in your toolbox at home. There’s a few variations here and there, for example, all of my sockets are 12 point.

[@SproutyPottedPlant]

I really enjoy when you move the planes around especially when it goes to some stand that seems really remote and quiet for the plane to rest ❤

[@BeakerHoneydew_MuppetLabs]

Awesome job as always Stig! When you mentioned repairs and the SRM, I remembered when I was working at aircraft manufacturer in the late 90's. I had to review a repair done by an airline outside of the US that had used a stop sign to patch a hole and used it as a doubler. We of course rejected the repair and told them the proper way to repair the airplane. You always use the yield sign instead!! 🤣 ...but seriously that was a fun little repair. Keep up the great work!!

[@StigAviation]

People who do repairs like that are pure magicians, sheet metal workers are just wizards to me.

[@TNels]

I remember watching a doc about the Trump 757 and they mentioned a point I never thought of before. Since its a private jet the pilots have to do some extra work compared to airlines. Dealing with fueling and some extra logistics, etc. where airlines have personnel who do that sort of thing. Great video as always, Stig!

[@StigAviation]

Yup. That’s true. They have to verify those things. Glad you enjoyed the video

It’s just so special. I love it

[@Stepclimb]

Hey Stig! 37:30. Just wanted to add a small correction. The Ram Air doors on the 737 are not simply spring loaded to close in flight. It’s a bit more complicated. The doors are actuated with AC power from the associated AC transfer buss and controlled with power from the associated side DC buss. The CBs for these doors are on the P6-4 panel behind the FO seat, rows A and B. The PSEU uses the Air-Ground sensing and the pressure differential either side of the heat exchanger (to detect blockage or dirty heat exchanger) to determine when to close the deflector doors. In the cockpit, the two blue lights [RAM DOOR FULL OPEN] on the air conditioning panel normally extinguish in flight. If they remain illuminated, that is the notification to the crew that there might be an issue with blockage or a dirty heat exchanger. There is no action that can be taken in flight, hence the blue instead of amber light. The blue Ram door status lights have been removed from the Max and are only found on the NG.

[@StigAviation]

But i wasn’t talking about the ram air door for the pack intake my friend. I was talking about the Deflector door.

[@Stepclimb]

@@StigAviation Ah yes, not sure why I thought you were talking about the ram air doors when you were clearly pointing to the deflector door! I did some digging in the systems manuals. It turns out the Deflector door is also electrically actuated based on air-ground logic. It does not modulate. It’s either open or closed.

[@sebastiannielson1952]

Catching up while waiting for my flight home at LAX. You're top notch - both your content and you as a person. Everyone at the AVL 24h appreciated the pizza! Thanks for just being you, Stig 🥳

[@StigAviation]

It was my absolute pleasure. Glad they all enjoyed it. Hope you had a good flight

[@kingfish4575]

[@Nick-vz2hr]

[@StigAviation]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@citibear57]

Another interesting, educational, and fun video. Thank you, Stig! I have said it before, and I will always say it: you are an awesome person. That was very kind of you to send food (pizza?) to Kevin and Rudy while doing their 24-Hour livestream from the rooftop patio at the H Hotel. I was not there, but I was watching it live. Take care, and stay safe 👍

[@StigAviation]

Thank you so much my friend. You honor me with beautiful words. And I was very happy to get some food to the guys at AVL. They worked hard for 24 hours.

[@dominickmurphy_72]

Man I love these videos! Currently 8 year hydraulic technician on C-130’s and working on my A&P, I just got my ticket and have to take the tests. Keep up the good work!

[@StigAviation]

Keep up the good work, my friend, I’m glad you’re getting your license. It will open up lots of opportunities for you in the future.

[@bobszoldra3515]

Your videos take me back a few decades to the start of my career in aviation. The only real difference is I would be walking towards a B747, the Queen of the Skies. I’m doing the walkaround right along with you. I love hearing the APUs running, the packs screaming away, and I can almost smell the jet fuel! It's an amazing career. I’m coming to the end of mine. I’m in training now. I got to see the world and I have a lot of great memories. Maybe it’s not for everyone, but we need more people to join the field. People like you need to promote aircraft maintenance. I really appreciate that you show a very positive side of the job. Keep up the great work!

[@StigAviation]

Thank you so much Bob, thank you for your dedication to your profession and thank you for staying and teaching the next generation in the training department. I’m glad these videos brought back good memories. I’ll keep doing my best to show and teach what I can here. Cheers to you

[@HostileMike]

Ive said this many times and im saying it again, i LOVE this channel so much. I love the length of the videos. I love the information you provide. I love your job. Keep em coming Stig. Us aviation geeks, who will never get to do this, will watch these videos forever. You're the man buddy

[@StigAviation]

Thank you so much Mike. I’m so happy this is a positive experience for you

[@d33sub55]

I love watching your videos as I go through school to get my A&P and slowly understanding more and more of what you're talking about!!!

[@StigAviation]

I’m glad these are helping you. Keep up the good studies

[@2busaman]

Love the T7, one of my favourites. Trumps 757 is a pretty bird, and he is very particular about it.

[@StigAviation]

He definitely keeps it clean and well maintained

[@brandonmartin1290]

Always a great way to start my weekend watching another stig video and then finish it with airline videos live or LA flights live

[@StigAviation]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@lmedina10]

Ugh!!!!! That’s what I get for failing asleep before Stig posted his awesome video!! Going to watch while I work!! It’s Stig time and nobody bug me!! 😊

[@StigAviation]

No worries, it’s always here for you, thank you for watching as always

[@lmedina10]

@@StigAviation finally finished watching and between laughing 😂 at the dad jokes and the dark plane talking 😳I did learn some new things! Thanks Stig for always teaching and showing us the ins and outs of the beauties!! On to the next adventure!!

[@Stepclimb]

Hey Stig! Just wanted to add that the small metal medallions on the fuselage are really helpful for the pilot performing the pre and post flight walk around. If there is a dent with a medallion, we know that the damage is preexisting and already documented. If we spot damage without a medallion, that warrants further investigation.

[@StigAviation]

Absolutely correct my friend. We call this the SAD report. (Scratch and Dent) report 🤙

[@childishrare]

love when stig break rides 321s i cant wait to start doing that type of work

[@StigAviation]

You are definitely gonna enjoy it.

[@Joshuamedina2005]

[@StigAviation]

Thank you

[@TravelinSmitty]

Sure love the channel Stig! Cheers!

[@StigAviation]

Much appreciated

[@motorcopjoe]

Oh yeah..the tall gear, the slender profile…757 is the most beautiful airplane ever built!

[@StigAviation]

And fast as heck too

[@rantonio]

Stig, I love the little in-depth dives into explanation that you take during your shift. Oh, and I am a fan of the retro livery. PSA caught me by surprise. Love it!

[@StigAviation]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@hjplano]

that 757 must really be a rocket off the runway, as its not full of people.

[@StigAviation]

It sure is

[@chowroger4937]

As an aviation geek starting from childhood, I just can't stop watching your videos every day! Really admire the beautiful designs and amazing technics behind these machines. And the countless team work behind the scenes are super encouraging as well. Love your energetic greetings "Good morning everybody! " too, it's so inspiring!
