Stig Shift #48 (Aircraft Maintenance Adventures)

[@airborne5607]

I missed you. Hope you had a great vacation stig. Come on let's get back to work, coffees ready

[@StigAviation]

Was a good break now we go back to what we do best. Make them airworthy

[@amoryll36]

😊👌🏾

[@yasieldiaz899]

​@@StigAviationHey Stig, question for you. Fellow USAF maintainer over here. How does it work at AA, are you guys trained to work on all airframes? If so, that's pretty impressive, I can't even imagine how you do it. We're limited to a specific airframe unless you change jobs but day to day ops are on the same bird. How do you handle jumping from one bird to another? Is there a steep learning curve? I wouldn't say so but still, there's probably gonna be some differences.

[@lmedina10]

What is better than listening to the radio on a 45-50 minute drive home….listening to Stig talk about all the beauty’s!! Awesome video Stig! Always love the messages you do when ending your videos. Thank you for taking us along! 😊

[@StigAviation]

Thank you so much, and it’s always a pleasure to have you here

[@lmedina10]

@ my pleasure!! It’s always fun to hear a recount of your days with the beauties. As always, I will catch little tidbits that I missed from the stories.

[@joanieswanson570]

Thank you so much, Stig. Enjoyable, entertaining and educational as always. You are back, Kevin is back and all is right in the aviation geek world. Take care, be safe.

[@StigAviation]

We are all good. Glad Kev is doing better now. He’s the best

[@danielconlon2388]

Recently lost my job. Been watching you a while I'm now making moves to join an aircraft maintenance apprenticeship 🇮🇪

[@StigAviation]

I’m sorry you lost your job but don’t worry when one door closes other doors open. And I’m glad you’re gonna be joining the maintenance side of Aviation. I think it’s gonna be a fruitful career for you

[@fxhomie1]

Another entertaining and informative video from Stig. And to paraphrase you: Cargolux never disappoints. Being the car guy that I am, I bought a 1:200 model of their 747 after seeing the cargo they unload at LAX.

[@StigAviation]

I am very happy you enjoyed it, and I definitely need to buy me one of those models as well.

[@kurtboginski507]

GREAT Insights into your world. Keep em coming Stig. Thanks for sharing.

[@StigAviation]

Thank you very much, I appreciate you watching!

[@Ryanboy2020]

Hope you had a enjoyable and relaxing 2 weeks on vacation Stig!! You deserve it!!! We sure did miss guy our shift vlogs though. I love how much fun you have at work. American Airlines should be proud to have you as an employee. ❤

[@StigAviation]

Thank you very much Ryan, it was a very nice break but I’m glad to be back.

Cheers Ronald. Enjoy

[@ericschwartz9584]

You put the toilet paper roll paper up over the top while the person before you put the other one roll paper down. You are absolutely correct Sig!😊

[@WestCoastWheelman]

That's why there's 2 rolls, one can be either way to avoid the inevitable reddit-tier arguments about which way is the right way 😂

[@StigAviation]

It’s just a simple habit I have😂

[@RichardLewis-g4e]

Glad you’re back! Love your enthusiasm for work and life. God’s blessings.

[@StigAviation]

Thank you for the beautiful words. Much appreciated

[@hunterwyeth]

I love the little arrows. Nice upgrade! Now you just need a yellow pen like John Madden would use 😂

[@StigAviation]

I’m trying to do better on every single video, remember I’m not a professional video maker, I just put this together and try to explain as best as I can.

[@isajassim8968]

Welcome back Stig hope you enjoyed your vacation.

[@StigAviation]

Thank you, I did. Much needed rest

[@plmarshall30]

Really enjoy your videos! Thanks for putting so much work into them all. My dad was a United 747-400 Captain out of SFO and always had a huge respect for guys like you! Keep up the good work !!!!

[@StigAviation]

Thank you very much, I appreciate that and I appreciate you being here and enjoying the adventures.

[@ColdAVI]

Thank you for showing us all your hard work and sharing your knowledge! 🙏🙏

I was about to go to sleep and then I seen stig uploaded. Yep I’ll be up till the end of it!

[@StigAviation]

Just an hour. You’ll be ok 😆

[@PhoenixPlays42]

Always a great night when stig uploads these, Love the videos man!

[@StigAviation]

I appreciate that. Glad you're enjoying the videos!

[@RobinArmitage-g3m]

A couple of questions for you. 1. At the gates what is the b737 warning box? 2. Say in the event of the airport getting evacuated how would you know to leave or be informed? Only talking about this bcs at LGW (London Gatwick airport) they had to evac south terminal bcs of a bomb. Also in case you were wondering lgw is actually 28 miles from London itself.😂😂 Also love your videos. Tonight I have popcorn, chocolate bar, cuppa tea, fluffy pyjamas, stig shift #48. Also as a suggestion is it possible to at the end of each episodes if you can put a bunch of pictures to use as wallpapers or create a whole new series just of the pictures.

[@Pbairsoftman]

I work on the ramp as well, they have a PA system that broadcasts alerts like that

[@StigAviation]

The warning box is where the 737 engine ingestion zone is. If there was an emergency on the airport, one of my coworkers or my supervisors would notify me. And thank you so much for watching, I hope you enjoyed the video and my apologies on getting back to you so late. I’m trying to catch up with the comments

[@Cliff-co5hl]

Man, I just LOVE your videos! They're the absolute best!

[@StigAviation]

Thank you cliff

[@terrygivens132]

Thanks Captain Stig for another great adventure.

[@StigAviation]

Thank you for watching!

[@PatrickLipsinic]

I had a moment 2 weeks ago. I accidently deployed an aft entry door slide on one of our 767's. Yeah, I won't ever do that again. 😂 There was a silver lining. The slide didn't deploy correctly. Got to learn how to safe the door and how to put in a new slide.

[@StigAviation]

I’m glad nobody was hurt with the inadvertent slide deployment. Accidents do happen, as long as you learn from it. And as you said, you will never make that mistake ever again

[@ThunderboltDragon]

Good morning, it's a bit cold outside, currently -8 Celsius. About head off to work, will watch this week's episode when I get back home.

[@StigAviation]

@@ThunderboltDragon take your time. Get where you’re going safely. Have a good shift and enjoy this when you have time my friend

[@scottgage9541]

Stig. The thing I like best about your videos is your positive attitude.

[@StigAviation]

Thank you so much for the kind words Scott

[@normanpaterson]

We need a Stig merch store! The video quality is wonderful, like being right there, wonder what he uses, cause he's working as filming, my guess, body camera.

[@StigAviation]

Just showing you what I can my friend. Thank you for watching

[@citibear57]

I have said this before, and I will say it in the future too - I love your channel and your explanation of the complexities of a modern aircraft. Your knowledge is truly amazing! Thank you, Stig! Simple-minded-me: Why's that bell ringing? ( 18:27 ) 🤣 45:40 It's fantastic watching aircraft close-up while departing. The beautiful ballet of the landing gear & doors retracting/closing is always awesome to watch 👍 Speaking of watches, the white Porsche 911-R has the name-and-logo of TAG Heuer, a Swiss luxury watchmaker.

[@StigAviation]

Thank you so much my friend, and the bell is simply the jet bridge alarm, matter fact I talked about it in my latest video and even showed the mechanism

[@bennettcolesberry9259]

15:15 The scale of the 777 still makes my head spin. Must feel both intimidating and inspiring sitting there as it pulls up to the gate, haha.

[@ioandavies2292]

And that's the -200 with the smaller engines, can't wait for the 777X

[@StigAviation]

It’s just a gigantic airplane, standing next to one just makes you feel like a little ant.

[@TaylorAverdick]

Welcome back, Stig! Hope you had a good vacation. I flew American last week and had a rejected takeoff! Never did learn what happened, but I trusted it was for a good reason based on what you've been telling us in all your videos. Cheers!

[@StigAviation]

Thank you so much Taylor and I’m sorry you experienced a rejected takeoff, it happens time to time. I’m just glad you’re safe

[@paulgerard5413]

Some say he went on vacation, others say he was too busy to film; all we know is he’s called the Stig. Welcome back my brother, between your good self and Blancolirio we have integrity and honesty in aviation covered.

[@StigAviation]

Thank you so much Paul, I appreciate you being here and I always love the STIG comments. They make me laugh 😆

Thank you so much, I try to do my best to get everything ready for a good first flight of the day

[@legit.peasant]

Glad to see you back Stig! Hope you had a great 2 weeks R&R! Look forward to more adventures!

[@ibeeadane4430]

I've been confused. I expect one youtube drop for every weekend. When you suddenly vanished, I was going through all sorts of possibilities. I guess you were out for vacation. Welcome! Let's go.

[@StigAviation]

I didn’t disappear. I posted 2 short videos. Did you see them.

[@Helicopterpilot16]

Honestly, like the captain that said those actuators were dampeners. I know it's not necessary knowledge for a pilot but, still. Reminds me when I asked a pilot if a hole on the side of a 757's engine was the bleed exhaust. He didn't have a clue. However, I did ask a pilot about 737 leading edge deicing because, for some reason, boeing figured the outer slat didn't need anti-ice? That pilot knew what he was talking about. I was simply happy a mechanic could finally explain the cable system for MD slats. First time watching; very nostalgic for me. Especially that early morning airport ramp view. I could almost smell it myself. Cheers!

[@StigAviation]

Pilots have a different mentality when it comes to understanding their aircraft. Some of them stick to strictly what’s going on within the flight deck and others are very enthusiastic to learn on every aspect of aircraft.

[@goblueoct98]

dude your channel is the best on KZbin - not even close IMO. thanks 👍

That 757 "Captains choice" is an Icelandair 757-200 (reg TF-FIW), configured for VIP (luxury) transport. It's been doing this for quite some time. By the way, "Captains choice" is a very, very, VERY expensive travel tour operator from Australia. So right there you see the global impact of aviation. Australian tour operator, using Icelandic airplane 🙂

I’m currently an airman in training to work on the military 767 (KC-46) and genuinely enjoy these videos and ever since you’ve put the white noise background audios in your videos it’s so easy to sleep to these dumps of knowledge. Any tips for somebody getting into A/p maintenance or any tips on the 767/kc-46 airframe itself are appreciated. I love planes and am very excited to get to the flight line and start doing this for a career

[@StigAviation]

Glad you were enjoying the videos and I hope they’re helping you with your studies. In regards to Tips, well everything is going to be talk to you when you get into the general formalization courses of that type rating. Most important thing to learn from school is the basics and since you were already an airman and you already work on the 767, you pretty much have a solid foundation of knowledge on how airplanes work

Yep that’s the guy, he’s a nice person but he doesn’t understand or know about his airplane very much. Matter fact he just made another video talking about oxygen, and he said that the crew oxygen is also part of the passenger oxygen. You can imagine the look on my face 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@normanpaterson]

All pilots require a compass, the compass is almost like a Pilot's Bible, I normally fly digital cockpit aircraft, thinking of taking one for my next flight, with steam gauges, because they are reliable if power goes out and generally more reliable.

[@StigAviation]

Sad to say most modern pilots don’t think that way. It’s a heavy reliance on automated systems nowadays.

[@normanpaterson]

How fast technology advances, I remember changing semi tires on the side of the road with 70s tech split rims, we put chains on the tire/rims knowing that would not help, back then many persons decapitated by faulty spilt rim retainers (metal) flying from burst tire, split rim semi tires outlawed now. I never had an issue changing them and changed many, else would not be typing this.

[@publicmail2]

FYI Check out magnetic compass declination, without knowing that a compass can lie big time. The magnetic poles and N ans S poles are in different locations.

[@StigAviation]

Hence why there’s a little chart on the side of that compass to compensate for deviation and declination.

[@ryanthggygh7716]

good morning Stig, Hope all is well. I have a few questions. I noticed in the cockpit areas there are a bunch of flat head screws still being used and they are all turned in the same direction. Why are Phillips head screws not being used throughout? Can you tell if an aircraft tire is low by just looking at it? How often are the planes washed on the outside? They always look clean, but due to their rapid turn around schedule, how is time scheduled for cleaning the exterior of the planes? The wheels always look dirty from the brake dust. How often are these cleaned? Also is American Airlines planning to attain any of the new 777 X's? Once all the issues are corrected.

[@StigAviation]

The flight deck areas has flathead screws because they are quick turn fasteners. All the panels are modular. Yes usually I can tell if the tire is low by looking at it. We also have pressure indicators in the flight deck on some airplanes. I have talked about and made a dedicated video on when and how aircraft get cleaned, check out that video when you get a chance. And I’m not sure if my carrier is going to be buying the 777X.

[@normanpaterson]

There is nothing like working with brand new equipment, best way to go.
