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 😂

No running on the ramp! That's the first thing we learn.

What a nice way to begin the shift...

[@StigAviation]

Indeed it was

[@FreightDawg7474]

Just the bubbly energy you radiate, no matter how your day goes, I absolutely love it. You’re one of my favorite KZbinrs because you explain everything in detail, and you never get bored of it. Every day, I learn something new. I wish you a wonderful holiday season and a happy new year as well, Stig. - Joe

[@StigAviation]

Thank you so much for the kind words Joe. I appreciate you being here. And I wish you a beautiful holiday season.

[@FreightDawg7474]

@ anytime bro keep up the awesome content and fly safe ✈️

[@baomao7243]

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

[@modelaircraft6576]

I work as an aircraft mechanic at PHL and I love your videos, Stig😊

[@BobWolff-m7y]

Hey Stig. Thanks for another adventure. As someone who has on occasion had to work holidays, I do appreciate the efforts. See you next year!

[@StigAviation]

It’s my pleasure, thank you so much for stopping by and enjoying the adventure with me

[@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

[@baomao7243]

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

[@kofeyh]

Fantastic, settling in to catch up on another exciting shift. Got my coffee. Right on.

[@StigAviation]

Glad you are enjoying it, cheers!

[@george-b3i-d2d]

NONE of your videos are boring!!!! Happy New Year!!!!

[@StigAviation]

I'm so glad you enjoy them!

Good afternoon Stig can’t wait to see what you have planned for us today

[@StigAviation]

Thanks for tuning in, it’s a good one.

[@LasPlaneSpotting]

@ I look forward to your videos every week

[@IvanMelon]

Definitely this crazy world needs more people like you. You can bet that we all love you too, Stig. Have a sweet and happy Merry Christmas and a very happy New Year. Gracias!

[@louisprigg2217]

You're a good instructor, Stig. I do the same job as you and I'm not sure i'd have the same way of explaining things. Good job, man!

[@StigAviation]

Thanks so much, I try my best to simplify things. I appreciate you and all your hard work as well

[@stellarproductions8888]

Awww, what a great picture, awesome pilots, and an awesome maintenance engineer! I like your new shinny Neo, I can see myself in it, which is weird HAHA! Your engine tail cone has got water camo texture, fancy. Insulation keeps me warm, what an early break ride too. Nice instruction on the safety/backup switches. Baby you can drop my gear, beep beep, yeah! I like the maroon red Porche car, beautiful! Welcome back clickedy clack! When the bell rings, school is in session hehe. It was not very lucky, cause it had 7-write ups! It gets detention! I appreciate you! Merry Christmas ❤

[@eddi5190]

Stig straight on the way top 100K ...🎉...

[@StigAviation]

We are almost there, you think we can do it by the end of the year?

[@eddi5190]

@ yes;) because you do a very good Job ,Aviation for beginners.i love the Details,today With the Engine..the keflar inside…this Details make you ver inteesting,noone other to this so in Detail.thats why im here;)

[@DrummerJohn]

Appreciate you showing your work during the Christmas holiday! Peace!🎄🎁👊🏻

[@StigAviation]

I’m glad you enjoyed it John, thank you for watching

[@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.

[@tronjet66]

Sitting at home recovering from the flu, great accompanying content Titanium has the prettiest blue color when it is blue

[@StigAviation]

Wishing you a speedy recovery, and yes indeed titanium does have a beautiful cobalt blue color.

[@KM-wl1tp]

Stig's catchphrase - 'next office' 😁 great work 👍

[@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

[@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

[@jonbradshaw3385]

Merry Christmas Stig! I would like to say that I appreciate that you and all your colleagues that work through the holidays are there making it possible for the traveling public to get where they want to be for the holidays. Thank you!!

[@StigAviation]

Thank you so much for the kind words and wishing you and your family a very beautiful Christmas

[@darkofc]

👍😀 Marry Christmas Stig - and let the NEW one be better than the old one !

[@junccy]

Merry Christmas Stig, I’ve been watching your adventures for about a week now and I can say I’m in awe of every video. I’m thinking about pursuing an education in Aviation Technology and you’ve been a major help in solidifying that decision. Thank you for all you do and God bless you

[@StigAviation]

I’m very happy that these videos are helping you. And I hope you have a very successful career in that line of work

[@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.

[@gordonblair1737]

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.

[@StigAviation]

Thank you so much for that, and yes indeed I will enjoy my time off. Cheers to you, I hope you enjoyed the holidays.

[@amamdawhatever]

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

[@6372chris]

23:19 upon a little further research, that aircraft entered service on 12/20/24. Brand new indeed!

[@StigAviation]

Literally brand new, there’s actually a newer one than that. It’s 472. Look that one up.

[@KCMHAviation]

@@StigAviation looks like it ferried to Charlotte for delivery on 12/19/24, hasn’t even entered revenue service yet. Now that’s BRAND NEW 😂

What’s up Stig another fun awesome video that I enjoyed watching. I love that little group photo that you guys took in the cockpit. Will you like hiding your for your face from your nose down? It’s pretty cool. You remind me like Chris fix. Imagine people like the best aviation technician on LAX that’s awesome. I’m always enjoying watching the videos. I learn a lot of good things every time you put out a video about the safety and how the aircraft is it’s mind blowing. I really enjoy watching your videos and a happy healthy new year to you and your family. Can’t wait for the next awesome and fun video cargo never disappoint.

Hi Stig! Merry late Christmas first of all! Hope you are feeling great, I'm sending my best wishes. I work as a technician in an MRO company testing, checking, inspecting, repairing & folding survival/safety equipment such as slides, rafts, life vests, survival kits etc... I don't know if you already showed it before, but it would be nice to see an emergency slide replacement. My dream is to work in line maintenance one day! Anyway, thanks for such an amazing content! Sending lots of love from a fellow aviation technician from Spain!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Stig! Great video as always and long may they continue….👏🏼

[@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.

[@sailormike1089]

The purple Porsche is a 935 from the 80’s, you can tell by the hidden headlights. The inter cooler is under the lower portion of the Whale tail.

[@StigAviation]

Definitely a beautiful car

[@Dreamweaver787]

Another phenomenal show Sir Stig, wow that KLM 787-10 at 2min on take off looked stunning. I wish Boeing had backlit the 787 Dreamliner logo in the flightdeck, would look cool lit up.

[@StigAviation]

That would’ve been a cool feature. But just remember if that back lighting went out, I’m the one who has to fix it 🤣

[@windyboy78]

Cool to hear AirNZ (kiwi accent) coms in your traffic ....looks like you past a AirNZ plane in your transit!

[@StigAviation]

Yes indeed, it was the one to my right when I pointed the camera to it.

[@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

[@samuelwhaley6658]

@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 🤜

Hi Stig ,really enjoy your videos .I'm always interested to see the American 777 flight to Heathrow as I live on the Final approach path . I look up and think Stig has worked on that Aircraft.

[@StigAviation]

Then you have seen many of my airplanes fly over you. And I’m sure most of them I have worked on.

[@nwoll]

Hey stig, at 20:05 you said that all those push buttons are irreversible actions. I always thought that the fire push button are reversible. I mean, discharging the squibs might make it a bit harder to relight the engines, but all those shut off valves should simply reopen, when resetting the fire push button. And then you'd have to relight the engine of course. At least that is what I remember from a twitch stream hosted by an a320 pilot :) did I maybe just get something wrong?

[@StigAviation]

You are correct, if you just push the fire switches without discharging the bottle, you can reengage those but if you discharge the fire agent, there is no going back. You cannot restart the engine anymore.

[@nwoll]

@StigAviation good to know. Thanks :)

[@Thegonagle]

23:23 I looked up that aircraft by tail number and holy moly! Brand new, in regular service less than a week! It was delivered to American on November 15, and entered service on December 20th.

[@StigAviation]

There’s even a newer one than that, look up aircraft 472.

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.

yea the merc looks to be a 2007 according to the plate nice shift stig cheers .

[@aerospaceguy4639]

do tilted gears make for smoother landings?. Like on the 787 and 777 they tilt when hanged but when they're about to be stored, they de-tilt?. What the point for tilt then?

[@StigAviation]

The whole point of a tilted gear is for it to fit inside of the wheel well. That’s the primary purpose. And I would also assume that it does make for a soft landing

[@ReeseBrantley-yz1zz]

Hey stig, love your videeos some of my favorite to watch. I was just wondering if u could show/talk about the RME handle thing on the airbus cabin door.
