Stig Shift #40 (Aircraft Maintenance Adventures)

[@johns8771]

Stig, you're correct in saying that your co-workers are what makes the job. That's the part you miss the most. I retired in 2019 after over 30 years in emergency services. The best way I can way I can say it is, "I don't miss the circus, but I surely miss the clowns".

[@StigAviation]

The clowns (our friends) are what make the circus. Memories to hold dear to your heart forever.

[@Faizachandio]

[@soundslikebstome]

You see some absolutely incredible freight come thru the airport.....but to behold a Schumacher Ferrari, it just doesn't get much better! Wishing Michael a long overdue recovery.

[@StigAviation]

I am fortunate enough to be around these beautiful machines, and I am very happy that I could share it with you

[@ZachHuff1983]

As a pilot for AA on the A32F, formerly LAX based too, I appreciate your videos and I’ve definitely learned some things they don’t teach us pilots.

[@StigAviation]

Thank you for being here sir. I’m sure me and you have crossed paths many times without even knowing it. Thank you for the amazing work you do and it’s a pleasure for me to keep your bird airworthy. Cheers 🤙

Hi Stig, I don't comment much on KZbin videos, but I cannot speak enough about how much Iove your channel. My wife and I watch your videos and I think anyone that is afraid to fly should spend a couple of hours watching your videos. They would change their mind. You do a great service to the aviation community.

[@StigAviation]

@@Tac0312 thank you so much for that. It really means a lot to me. Thank you for you and your wife being here and enjoying the adventures.

[@DirkSch.]

The pushback guys really deserve recognition for their job. It looks so easy, but it is a lot of responsibility on congested ramps.

[@StigAviation]

You’re absolutely right, they do a phenomenal job.

[@Hallahanify]

As a former truck driver i get massive anxiety watching those guys work. I can't imagine backing up a 100 million dollar massive aircraft like that.

[@StigAviation]

It’s a fun job tho.

[@Arabraxas]

Another great Stig Shift! The blue box next to the pressurization controller that you were testing is an extremely important unit for safety in flight - the Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System computer (EGPWS). It warns the crew if they are approaching terrain in flight, either horizontally or vertically. That box contains a digital database of all terrain in the entire world, and is coupled to the GPS for aircraft position and the Air Data Computer and Radio Altimeter for height above ground, pressure altitude and airspeed. Honeywell packed a lot of functionality in that small box. Might be cool on a future Stig Shift to show the digital terrain on the pilot’s nav display in a 737. If the IRS is aligned to the GPS, just push the “TER” button on the EFIS control panel and rotate the range knob to zoom out the Nav display. The San Gabriel mountain range to the north of LAX ought to show up in shades of yellow, orange and red.

[@StigAviation]

I will most definitely keep that in mind, I’ll try to remember to perform that operation so you can see all the colors on the PFD and ND

[@gligom]

I am a “sim pilot” for many years, from the time when airplanes were just a + sign on a green and white screen. Now with MSFS 2020 we can live some of the aviation life. I know that is not like real life experience, but for us that could not become pilots or work in the aviation industry is something that allows us to dream :) Congratulations for your work, with you It feels that I am there with you, changing a tire or moving some planes around. It is an amazing world, I know that is not easy, is hard work. I see that you love what you do, this is what matters! All the best and I wait the next adventure 😊

[@StigAviation]

Thank you so much, and I must agree with you with the modern day simulators it’s absolutely incredible How much detail they put in there

I love that you cover aircraft maintenance. Not many people do. Thank you for that and for taking your job so seriously. I read too many stories of plane crashes that were caused by poor and careless maintenance practices. Maintenance employees are as important as the pilot, in my opinion.

[@jemakrol]

Stig Shift makes me very happy. On so many levels. Thanks for taking time and effort to spread your knowledge, happiness and stories. I've been a life long avgeek, since my first flight as infant about half a century ago. Always been fascinated by aviation and the technology that makes it possible. Always loved being around and inside airplanes. Always asked questions about them or pondered about how they work. What I've come to grow more and more appreciation for over time, is the people that makes all this possible. From the engineers designing and building them to the ones making sure we travel comfortable and safe. I never feel as safe and taken care of as riding an airliner, knowing about how much care and work that has gone into make it possible. By professionals, from the moment I step into the terminal to the moment I leave it at the destination. It's a beautiful thing. However, what I also appreciate is this: I came here for details about aircrafts and knowledge shared about them. I'll hang around just for the feeling of just... well, hanging around those beautiful machines like I always dreamt of doing: up close and personal. Poking in places I wouldn't get near otherwise. Surprisingly to me, however, the thing that has made the moments I watch Stig Shift special... is the feel good-feeling I get. It's almost a spiritual experience. My kind of meditation if you will. Or therapy perhaps? I could watch this channel just for good, solid advice on how to try to live a good life (and I am not thinking of the smell of jet fuel here). Things I get reminded of here are, for instance: be present. Appreciate things around you and what you have, that makes you feel good. Be nice, be humble but also be proud of what you do and have achieved. (We tend to always be on our way somewhere, physically or in our minds. Or let worries and stress dominate our everyday life. It's only human to do so, but that is also why it matter to try to break free from this. Whenever we can. It can be as easy to have someone reminding you about this, every now and then. Like weekly. While poking aircrafts and enjoy their awesomeness. Works for me.) Thanks Stig. Keep being you, no matter what. And love to all of you people being here!

[@StigAviation]

I can’t begin to thank you for these incredible words and I’m honored that you can share your thoughts and feelings with me. I appreciate you wholeheartedly.

G’day Stig. I too am a massive Michael Schumacher fan not just for his racing, going to races and the excitement of him breaking so many records, but also for his great philanthropy. I still remember the two Ferraris painted black with no sponsorship the next race after September 11. It was also reported at the time that he personally donated many millions of dollars to victims families. A champion racer, but also a champion of a human.

As the first day I saw your channel I’m very happy with this content and in the future will meet. Now I’m planning to make my patent work but is gonna be very difficult, because I’m trying to make cars and planes using electricity without a battery. Thanks for all and see you in the next one !

Good morning Mr.Stig. I have been watching your videos for some time and I absolutely love them, they are really entertaining and I've learned a lot from you. I am an A320 Pilot who is just starting to fly in a major airline and it is really interesting to see the perspective of ground crews during operations. There is a lot I don't see from the cockpit, and many details go unnoticed. I believe it is beneficial for all of us if ground and flight crews keep good communication as part of CRM! So please continue making videos, I will support you!

Yoo Stig. Loved the video. Night time brake riding was such a treat. Got a few questions to ask 1. Idk if you explained this in an older video but can you go over how the bleed air system works. If u already explained then no probs ill go back n watch 2. What type of clothing do AMTs wear? I would imagine durable but breathable material (seeing that it does get really hot sometimes) 3. U mentioned the airplane with the XV reg is an ex Virgin. Would the registration change again if that particular aircraft is bought by another carrier? Sorry for the many questions but really enjoy and learn a lot from each upload. Keep on teaching us and we'll see ya in the next one. Dont forget the coffee🤙🏽 ☕

[@StigAviation]

I have explained how the bleed air system works many times. If you have time reference my older videos and you’ll see me talking about it in detail. As for the clothing that I wear, it is issued to me by my airline. It is very durable and breathable material. And asked for the ex virgin aircraft, if another airline wishes to purchase that aircraft they have the option of, changing the registration, or they could keep it the same

[@SimonBillingham-zq4oy]

Another great video. The MRTT KC30’s (A330-200 based)are used by several air forces around the world, off the top of my head Australia, Singapore, UK, France, Germany, NATO and a few more. The MRTT actually won a procurement competition to replace the KC135 in the US Airforce but Boeing complained and the result was changed and the contract given to Boeing KC46 (B767 based). The project is years late, over budget with lots of problems, some still to be resolved. The US government has supported a US company but at a big cost in money and time. You probably know all this. I think most MRTT’s are refurbished and modified civilian A330-200’s, it is impressive to see the systems in the aircraft to enable and monitor in flight refuelling with both probe and drogue (1 centre line probe and 2 drogues mounted at the point on the wing where A340’s have their outboard engines, that’s enough from me. Thanks

Hey stig do you ever realistically get to use your flight benefits? Like is it realistic to swap shifts and go on a short vacation on your days off? Or is it just a pipe dream. Also , you should do a Q&A video one day I think it’ll really help future A&P mechanics get a sense of everything 🙏🏼

The “barking dog” is a great name for something which sounds like that! Awesome videos!

[@StigAviation]

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it

That's a fancy parking system you have, we still rely on people with wands to guide us in but then we don't park at gates. I love learning about the parts of aircraft that us pilots don't get to see. If you think those Telex headsets (for the captains repalcement) are expensive, the Bose ProFlight 2's are $1,000. For the ground incident it's ATC's fault for telling the Delta crew to taxi when it wasn't clear. It's possible the CRJ was on tower and the A350 was on ground frequency.

[@StigAviation]

That is incredibly expensive for the Bose headsets. I did not know it was that expensive.

[@747FoSophie]

@@StigAviation Well worth it though.

[@Chancewilson_golf]

love the videos stig thought the part about dual maintenance on the idg was interesting keep up the good work

[@StigAviation]

Glad you enjoyed it, thank you for watching

[@tristarstuu268]

I just found you! Great videos! Please, keep them coming! Be safe! ;)

[@StigAviation]

What a pleasure to have you here, thank you so much for watching.

24:37 Flew on N440AN a few weeks ago. Thanks for keeping her in great shape and keeping us educated and entertained while you're at it.

[@StigAviation]

I hope you had a beautiful flight, thank you so much.

[@samiservices3961]

Good Job 💯👍

[@StigAviation]

@@samiservices3961 thank you

[@Acuda721]

Seems we can't stay out of the news here in ATL lately.. One thing to add about the inflatable seatbelts, they arm when they are fastened. So, to anyone trying to use that as a handle, stop and read your Warnings and Cautions! As always, love the content!

[@StigAviation]

You’re absolutely correct on that. Thank you

[@ijihu1]

That one Hot Fuzz Tub lookin car could be an addition to James Hetfleids collection

[@StigAviation]

It might be.

[@Rwalt61]

Cool catch all the aircraft lined up for approach at night. I remember my brother and I would go to our local airport (STL) and watch them stacked up.

[@StigAviation]

I always enjoy seeing them lined up like that. It’s a beautiful site.

[@Nymerrahaley]

Normally I don't comment too much on the same video but 46:07 Seeing all the planes lined up like that in the sky is a beautiful sight

[@StigAviation]

100% agreed

[@TnFlightMedic]

Flying through LAX on American Saturday morning. If I see any maintenance guys I will give them your patch to pass on to you.

[@StigAviation]

I’ll be there in Saturday. Just message me on instagram and I’ll come up and visit you.

[@TnFlightMedic]

@@StigAviation sounds good. I will ping you with the details.

[@SalutetoBlue]

Yes! another Stig shift! Thanks for all the hard work Stig. I see it was bring your cat to work day @52:04 😹

[@StigAviation]

Oh my goodness, I just noticed it in the background, little kitty cat, running around on the ramp

[@johnbaumann2126]

What's up Stig!? The wife and I just landed from Charlotte, NC and I told her how cool it would be to just see you on the ramp. As we were getting off the plane, I recognized your tool pouch. Thanks for saying hey!

[@StigAviation]

Heyyy. That was you … that was so awesome… you definitely caught me by surprise. Thank you for saying hello… next time you should have waited… would have given you a tour of the flight deck 🤙

Michael Schumacher's F2003-GA sold for $14.9 million in a Sotheby’s auction in Geneva, Switzerland, almost doubling the previous record for an F1 car when Schumacher’s F2001 fetched $7.5 million in 2017.

[@StigAviation]

Absolutely incredible, it was such a pleasure to see that vehicle

[@CheeseMeme985]

I've been wondering this for a while. On some planes. The engine is turning slowly but obviously not on when parked lol What causes that too happen? And one some walk around there's smoke coming from the center exhaust? It's not burning oil or just really hot. Thanks for the fantastic educational content. I love what you do and how you take the time to explain in absolute detail. Your the best Stiggy!

[@StigAviation]

One thing you have to realize that these engines are perfectly balanced. A slight gust of wind will simply turn the blades, we call that windmilling. And the smoke that you’re seeing coming out from the exhaust portion is burned oil gases.

[@BigDuke-md8ec]

Stig , so when the plane is coming in to park at the terminal and using the guidance system you showed , is there still a human on the ground to manually direct them into position? So has the guidance system taken away someone’s job ? Keep up the good work - love the content !

[@StigAviation]

Yes there’s still a person standing at an emergency stop button just in case of emergency stop needed.

[@jeinio]

Thanks, Stig, for another great video! Since I have a bit of an interest in ADS-B (built couple of receivers & antennas and also coded an user interface for live data display, just for fun); have you already covered ADS-B functional parts in e.g. A321? Would be very interesting especially regarding the data sources it uses. Thanks for the awesome content and greetings from Finland!

[@StigAviation]

Yes indeed I have covered that in previous posts and talked about it in detail as well as show the interface of the unit.

The Black Delhaye with the Orange Stripes is a 1938 Delahaye 135M Torpédo Roadster Coupe. From a german Website: "S/N #49169 was auctioned at Gooding & Co. in Pebble Beach in 2024 Price: $2,095,000. But above all because it has a wonderful story. It was ordered by a certain Mr. Floud, who was living in Oran, Algeria at the time. What happened to the Delahaye over the years is unknown, but in 1992 #49169 was found under an olive tree in the middle of Algeria. And bought from the owner of the tree for the incredible sum of 60 British pounds (75$ todays Money !!!). The Petersen Museum took over the car and restored it perfectly"

[@StigAviation]

Now that is an incredible story. Thank you so much for sharing this.

[@Twobarpsi]

Learned something new today, "dual maintenance"! A very excellent concept that I didn't know existed. "Cargo never disappoints!!", says Stig on every video 😃! Wow!! In this shift it DEFINITELY didn't! We had an Aventador SVJ, a Porsche 959 prototype, AND a Ferrari F1 car that was driven by Michael Schumacher 🏁🇮🇹🏁!! Just incredible to see that Stig 😎🤙!

[@StigAviation]

I am so happy that you learned something new, and thank you so much for this wonderful recap.

[@AndrewMurphy8383]

Sig!!!!!! Goodeveninggggg. I was wondering was learning how to do aircraft lacing was it worth the time and frustration

[@AndrewMurphy8383]

I seen some on the apu white wiring just wondering

[@StigAviation]

That’s taught to you when you do the particular work. So it’s not an option of “worth learning “ you have to learn it if you’re doing wiring jobs.

[@AndrewMurphy8383]

@StigAviation right thanks for the reminder. I build harnesses garmin glass cockpit so at times I don't see the worth of learning untill to day when a client I built one for his kit plane thank me in a letter flying 2 or 3 years ago to for repair a nick in it s harnesses for his kit plane. Just wanted to know sry sig
