Stig Shift #53 Christmas Special (Aircraft Maintenance Adventures)

[@lazersharkaviation]

10:32 seeing the wands as the guy was running killed me 😂

[@WestCoastWheelman]

That's just the standard "I'm running here!" hand signal 😂

Stig, your channel ROCKS. Never a let down. As an aviation junkie, your videos mix so many wonderful vantage points - watching jets roll in, working inside the cabin and cockpit, working inside the mechanical areas, working under the plane - which are all super neat to see. I’m sorry you’re working over holiday time but please know that we all appreciate it. Your enthusiasm and the “safety first” orientation you exude make me feel comfortable flying on anything you touch, sight unseen. Thank you … for being you.

[@StigAviation]

Thank you so much, and I appreciate you taking time and enjoying the adventure with me. Happy holidays to you

[@dean9498]

What a nice way to begin the shift...

[@StigAviation]

Indeed it was

[@darrencouzins6500]

A Mercedes like that one was sold for $880.000 in November, that's a U K number plate, Thanks for everything Stig.

[@StigAviation]

That’s one expensive Benz, beautiful too

My sense is that all these SWEET cars are heading to UAE or Saudi.

hey stig. happy holidays to you and your family. i’m out at AA heavy maintenance in charlotte and it’s guys like you that make this a great community.

[@StigAviation]

@@frankcamacho3953 thank you so much Frank. Wishing you a happy new year. Thank you for all your hard work in CLT. You guys are amazing.

Looking inside the landing gear well of the 737 reminds me why I love the simplicity of airbus aircrafts

[@StigAviation]

@kevinjones2772 i would agree. Airbus organization of the wheel well is so much better

[@Hossman757]

Stig, 7AA was delivered to AA in DFW and I was there to see her. I have photos of me and a few of my fellow engineers in front of the engines. Great memories!!!

[@StigAviation]

Isn’t it amazing that it’s still flying strong to this day. That’s awesome that you got to experience it when it was brand new.

[@baomao7243]

Thank you for the PSA reminding us how to properly stop the fan blades with the hand.

[@StigAviation]

Most people like to reach in there and try to grab the blades, I’ve seen a couple of people get hurt like that. So it’s just a safer way to do it

Stig, the yellow Porsche is a 1996 911 GT2 race car. The maroon Porsche looks like the 1983 -934 chassis designed to mimic the 935 race cars. That was a one off build for Mansour Ojjeh he was the owner of TAG Heuer at the time.

[@StigAviation]

Oh wow, so pretty rare find. Thank you so much for the information

[@addmoregas]

Correct. GT2 in yellow, 934/5 in Maroon, and what appears to be a Slang500 300sl replica in RHD. These are based off the SLK platform.

[@bobyouh]

Thank you again, Sir! Your videos are tremendous. I started out in aviation back in the 1980s had to leave due to layoff, but then got hired on with the power company and the only reason they hired me is because I was a former A&P mechanic. And yes, in power generation, we too have to work holidays so thank you for that shout out for all those men and women who because of their jobs necessitate having to work holidays and weekends. I’m now retired after 39+ years of doing so.

[@StigAviation]

Thank you for sharing your story with me. And thank you for all your hard work and dedication. Now it’s time for you to kick your feet up and relax. Enjoy the retirement my friend

Hey Stig merry Christmas . We work in an industry that’s 24/7 365, which leads us to miss holidays and significant life events of family and friends. I am blessed to currently have my first Christmas off in 7 years. It’s what we do, people need to get from point A to point B regardless of the date on the calendar and it’s our job to help facilitate that. So hoisting a pint of Guinness in your honor 🍻 and hope you can celebrate the season in an alternate manner.

I flew on a E175 to MN for Christmas 🎄🎁. AA American Eagle 🦅. Republic.

[@StigAviation]

I really hope you had a good flight

[@renefuller9241]

Correct, the blankets run beneath the stringers and lay on the skin itself. I started off installing blankets in the forward cargo hold of the 737. I'm sure you are familiar with the plastic lining of the cargo hold, the stringers are underneath those liners. To put in the blankets, you have to balance on the stringers while trying not to rip the blankets into pieces. Those stringers have sharp edges, we have to wear gloves, bump caps (think baseball hats with a helmet liner) special shoes and soft knee pads. But I love it (I don't put in blankets anymore 😎)

[@StigAviation]

I have installed those myself a few times, and it is not an easy job. Sometimes those clips and retainers are not as strong as they supposed to be

[@renefuller9241]

@@StigAviation Don't get me started... 😀. This is the first Flow Day, when the body comes off the train. Spirit puts those clips in. We have to rework them more often than not, but obviously after we put in the blankets the body goes through 9 more flow days (there are 10 in total). By the time the airplane rolls off the line many of those clips we reworked have been broken again and reworked again. The blankets go in one the 1st shift of the 1st day. After that come the electricians who put in miles of cabling. And so on... (I'm talking about the 737, not 787 solly) But it's amazing to see how an airplane comes together, I love doing what I do.

I'd love to see how the pilots turn the aircraft into position as they are entering the gate. I see your videos of them turning in, but to see them use the tiller wheel handle to drive the aircraft into the gate would be interesting. 🤔 oh and thanks for the killer underbelly shot of that 777 🤘🏽😎

[@waymanprice478]

SIERRA TANGO INDIA GOLF !! hey dude, you talk about the RAM deployment system and its 'guarded' buttons in this episode. I'm assuming the pilots are alerted in the cockpit once it is fully deployed and locked into place. yeah? but I'm 'ASSUMING' that the pilots can also HEAR the damn thing spinning, from the cockpit, yeah?? the 'low-pitch' hum it throws off must make the whole fuselage resonate like a cello! the next time you get to test one, maybe try to get some footage/sound from inside the cabin. ---> you rock! stay safe in LA! and don't forget to service and top off your ☕StigDrol☕ throughout your shift !!

[@wizardmix]

At 20:31 to the left of what you're pointing out is the one button Sully and FO Skiles forgot to press which I believe seals the aircraft up for a water landing? I'm sure you can explain it in greater detail. Break riding is one of my favorite things to do because it's one of the few activities where I can just stop and look around for a second. It's also one of the rare times a lowly RA gets to sit in the captains chair!

[@jstanna]

You are talking about the “Ditching” button. I believed he did talk about it several months ago…. Like Stig shift 10-20 probably. But Im sure he can touch upon it again.

[@StigAviation]

Yes that is the button Sully forgot to press, the good old ditch switch. I did talk about this in older videos.

[@ronaldjames]

Late but great. Another round of knowledge fun and aviation thanks stig

[@StigAviation]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@mendel5106]

At around 28:00 when you discuss the possibility of an inadvertent gear up movement of the handle when on the ground, that could be an expensive repair and a write up on the pilot who did it. I think that happened not that long ago not sure if by a pilot or by a service AP technician. It would be nice if Boeing and Airbus disabled the gear handle altogether when not on a runway. These days it should be fairly easy with the ground sensors system for tracking the live position of the aircraft on the tarmacs. And yes, you've read my mind. Thanks

[@WestCoastWheelman]

I don't understand why the WOW sensors don't just lock it down.

[@StigAviation]

The thing about this is that the weight on wheels sensors should prevent it from happening, but sometimes the hydraulic force is just too powerful and it will overcome the sensors. Especially at the nose gear, that’s why the nose gear is the most susceptible one for collapse.

[@rangerat1957]

Merry Christmas! Thank you so much for hacking the mish (mission) on Christmas! I'm very grateful for y'all who are out there when everyone else has the day off. ~12:00 I love the aesthetic of a big airfield at night! 22:19 I'm a bit surprised the fuel nozzle isn't attached at the fuselage near the fuel management panel like an SPR (Single Point Refuel). It seems to me like a monumental task to drag that hose up to the bottom side of the wing. The little tiny biz jets I fly have an SPR which is much easier than over-wing, but if we had to refuel over-wing, it's basically at human height. Do all airliners refuel like this or do some hook up at the panel?

[@StigAviation]

That’s how most aircraft are, it’s a direct port fueling system straight into the wing. It would be very much more complicated if it was attached at the belly. And some aircraft fuel panels are right next to the receptacle as well. But some air buses are like this, where the fuel panel is at the belly and the Hose is attached to the wing

[@amamdawhatever]

@@StigAviation So do they refuel the wings separately at the same time or is there a crossover valve and manifold?

[@StigAviation]

@ they fuel it all at once. Feeds from the wing and gets distributed to center tank and the other wing via the manifold and fuel lines

[@paulgaerisch]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Stig. I worked on Christmas and new years last year. This year I had off. I. Flew to Florida on a Delta A321-211. 8 years old. I live in New York and Florida. So I split my time between the two. Have a safe new year. 👍

[@samuelwhaley6658]

30:40 That’s interesting - in my old job as a ramp agent that wouldn’t be happening- nobody would have approached the aircraft if the beacon light was on. Didn’t happen often but if it did, we just stood outside the ERA and waited for as long as it took for the pilots to realise and switch it off 😅

[@StigAviation]

Well if we did that we would’ve been waiting for a long time, because the pilots had long left the flight deck. 🤣 but don’t worry as soon as I see it, I run upstairs and turn it off

@StigAviation 🤣🤣 Wouldn't be able to leave the flight deck if there's no steps or jetbridge attached - unless they're really desperate 🤣🤣 This is in the UK BTW, ig it's just different approaches. Over here, beacon light on means NO approaching the aircraft by anyone, non-negotiable. Anyways, thank you very much for another great video 🤜
