[@StigAviation]

Ladies and gentlemen… I just realized I completely goofed on not giving you the answer at the end of the video. I’m so sorry… but here’s the answer.. I’ll put it here. There’s 2 parts to this. Certain push buttons light have two dots, Indicating that The corresponding part of the push button is not used. Certain push buttons do not remain pressed in. These are referred as “momentary action” push buttons. There is another function and a notification for these push buttons and indicators. And that is a reversible and a irreversible action. The push buttons that have a dots on top are reversible that means the button or the action can be disengaged. Now the buttons with the dots on the bottom is a one time function. That means if you press it that is it one time function cannot disengage Once again I’m sorry about that. I messed up editing. Hopefully you all see this.

[@Repented008]

When I was working for my local airline, I really admired you guys....pilots always get me starstruck though, childhood dream 😅😎 * Dried off under 737 NG packs many days😂

[@ChrisCokeRobinson]

Hey Stig. So you work on both the short haul and long haul fleet? Where I work we've been separated into two groups: short haul and long haul.

[@ChrisCokeRobinson]

Btw love the technical part at the beginning. Very good explanation of the components and systems

[@ChrisCokeRobinson]

OMG What you said about PW engines.. Jesus Christ they are the worst.. And I'm talking about the newest PW1100. Everything in the hot section..Have to open the hot section just to read the IDG Oil level, then they go and place cables in the way of the IDG Filters. Then you need a wrench to close the Reverser doors with that flimsy closing mechanism they installed...Horrible engine.

[@StigAviation]

@@ChrisCokeRobinson yup. I work on both. Long haul and short. Narrow body and wide body aircraft.

[@grebz]

"Enough of the technicsl mumbo jumbo". No Stig, that's why we're here!

I JUST DISCOVERED THIS CHANNEL. ITS THIS BEST AVIATION CHANNEL ON KZbin. VERY INFORMATIVE.

[@StigAviation]

Welcome and thank you for being here. Enjoy the videos. Ask questions

[@njjeff201]

Yeah Stig rocks!!!!

[@aneehsalaluc5551]

Never seen aircraft walk around video in such impressive detail. Good work

[@StigAviation]

Thank you very much. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@tentinquarantino2535]

Genuinely made my week when I came across this channel. The image quality, the way you narrate and the sheer expertise is enthralling!

[@StigAviation]

I’m very happy you enjoyed it, I got plenty of more videos if you’re into this kind of stuff.

[@iflyplanes687]

Hey Stig! Just found your channel and I’ve been binge watching for several hours now. I’m a 737 pilot up in Canada and find your videos incredibly interesting and informative! Most pilots love listening to our maintenance guys talk because they’re so full of knowledge. You’re proving that with these videos! Keep them coming! :)

[@StigAviation]

Thank you very much Captain, I appreciate you being here and expanding your knowledge. As a mechanic, I also love to talk to my pilots and learn how they operate the aircraft in the sky. I also have fun with them and give them different scenarios and see how they react. We all learn from each other, it’s a wonderful feeling.

[@superdee9514]

You are the best, simply put. Happy new year when it arrives.​@StigAviation

[@dennishayes65]

I was an A-6 Intruder plane captain in the U S Navy back in the early 1970’s & our jets had the J-52 Pratt & Whitney engines. We did our daily inspections before each days flights. We also did turnaround inspections for second flight of the day. We fueled them hot ( while running ) & cold ( after shutdown ) in the fuel pits. We also walked around with the pilot while he did his preflight inspection. Then we strapped him & the bombarder in their seats. We then started the bird & went through the hand signals to make sure all the physical & electrical components worked. Then we saluted the pilot & sent them on their way. And if something bad happened to the bird it was our ass that would get hung.

[@datboithasboi]

Wow! Im glad the algorithm showed me this! I love airbus planes and thought i knew a lot. I love your videos! Please keep them coming for as long as you can!

[@mattdeamer9742]

Love the video's. love the passion. Keep them coming! I have a family history of aircraft engineers and when the first Gulf War arrived I was lined up to do work experience at school with a major carrier. Unfortunately, due to security, that was scrapped and I never ended up doing that. Instead I had to choose a second choice and with that choice it became my career for the next 30 plus years. Funny how things work out, still love aircraft, love flying, love watching videos on engineering and I often reflect on what would have been had Saddam Hussein stayed clear of Kuwait!

[@StigAviation]

Keep that aviation spirit alive and strong. I’m glad you are here and enjoying it all. Thank you Matt

[@aircampilot8025]

amazing machines

[@StigAviation]

Yes they are!

[@sairon63]

Is this the correct answer? 😅Based on Bard (Google's AI): The dots on the buttons on the Airbus A320 cockpit are called "locator dots." They are used to help pilots identify the buttons in the dark or when they are wearing night vision goggles. The locator dots are also tactile, so pilots can feel them with their fingers even if they cannot see them. There are two types of locator dots on the Airbus A320 cockpit: Top locator dots: These dots are located on the top section of the button face. They are usually used for buttons that are not often used, such as the radio and autopilot buttons. Bottom locator dots: These dots are located on the bottom section of the button face. They are usually used for buttons that are used more frequently, such as the engine controls and landing gear controls. The reason for this is that pilots are more likely to look for buttons with locator dots on the top of the button face when they are trying to find a specific button in the dark. This is because the top section of the button face is usually the first thing that pilots see when they glance at the panel. The bottom locator dots are used for buttons that are used more frequently because pilots are more likely to be able to feel them with their fingers. This is because the bottom section of the button face is usually the part that pilots rest their fingers on when they are operating the controls. The use of locator dots is just one example of how Airbus has designed the A320 cockpit to be as easy to operate as possible, even in low-light conditions. Bard is stupid sometimes, for instance, it mentioned that the type of the A/C which was A320, and then said: when the pilots wearing the night vision goggles, etc. It thinks that it is a military aircraft. 😅

The green light on the side of the "flat bed seats" indicates if the seat is in a safe configuration for Taxi, Take-off & Landing (TTL light). It comes on to show that "an internal lock is engaged" to hold the seat in the upright position for TTL. Without the lock, the seat would not be able to hold itself up in the event of an emergency (on the ground). Love the content...thanks!

Keep up the good work!

Hey, Stig, I was at my local airport today, which is Queenstown international airport (ZQN) here in NZ as I was taking photos and I noticed one of Air New Zealand's A320 aircraft reg:ZK-OXH had started it's right engine prior to push back but the APU was operational. First time I have seen this. Any ideas as to why? or is it an operational thing.

[@StigAviation]

Well, that’s how the engines start. They need the bleed air from the APU.
