Stig you are an amazing aviation expert and a teacher. Your videos are like educational and teaching most advanced technologies in the world with much ease.

[@StigAviation]

Wow, thanks! You are too kind to me. But I appreciate you being here. I’ll do my best to show and teach what I know

You are the main person I vicariously live through as my aviation engineering career was met with roadblocks. I love that you love your work so enthusiastically! Cant wait for each of your video. The Dreamliner is incredible! Thank you brother.

[@StigAviation]

Thank you for being here John. I appreciate you.

[@martinross5521]

Thank you Stig - such a lot of kit and cabling in these two areas. Another impressive tour!

[@StigAviation]

You bet! I wish I was this good in cable management when I build my PC 😅

[@shelleysflyingdreams]

Great video. It amazes me to see how much is under our feet that most passengers never see. Your video are an awesome insight into the world of airplane maintenance that so many people take for granted. If it takes off and lands safely, thank the pilot. If it CAN take off and land safely, thank maintenance. 😊

[@StigAviation]

Well said! Thank you so much

[@maco6298]

Always awesome, keep em’ comin’!

Thanks! Will do!

Thank you Sir for the amazing videos. You have the not so common ability to explain complex tech issues in a simple and very easy way for the rest of us to understand. Thank you Sir

[@StigAviation]

That’s the biggest compliment I can ever receive. Thank you 🙏

great video👏

Thank you very much

[@wayback75]

Stig ,, another great video. As you know, I'm a retired airline mechanic myself and sometimes critique you but not this time as my knowledge of the newer Boeings is limited to the 757. Regarding the batteries, I do remember Boeing having a problem with that type. I recall a time or two having to change out the old Ni-Cad batteries that went Mustang. I had to wear gloves removing it from a 737 , it was so hot and hoping it would not explode on me. I've seen it happen. Anyways , a great video,, very informative.

[@StigAviation]

Thank you so much for the knowledge you bring to me and us all. I’ll always appreciate the critique and try to do better. I’m glad that 737 battery didn’t go ballistic on you. That would have been bad.

[@wayback75]

@@StigAviation Stig ,, sometimes I wish I wasn't old and retired. At times I wish I was back on the flight line working on the commercial jet Airliners.I miss those days. You and I would've made a great team. No delays and on time push backs, LOL

[@nizzyb1976]

Stig, thanks for the recent block of uploaded vids! They’re awesome… keep them coming bro

[@StigAviation]

Glad you like them! And thank you for being here. 👍

[@syamsanishamsuri8910]

Good info Stig. Can you show us the lavatory piping system?😊

[@StigAviation]

Yes I can. Matter of fact I have a video showing some plumbing and talking about ATA 38 water and waste. Check it out if you have time. 👍

[@alessandropln5293]

Amazing video! Just a curiosity... do the pilots ever get to see or check those systems, both the electronics and the mechanics underneath them?

[@StigAviation]

Nope. Pilots never get to see this side of the aircraft. All they are responsible for is the flight deck and exterior walk arounds. This side of aviation is maintenance only.

[@alessandropln5293]

@@StigAviation Thanks 👍🏼

[@SuburbanDon]

An amazing amount of equipment. Does the APU power all of that or just partially ?

[@StigAviation]

Apu has 2 generators and is capable of powering all of these systems.

[@ldp123100]

I have a brother work on United airlines as a mechanic ,he never tell me his work environment or what he do to a air craft , thanks for sharing 🙏👍keep safe

Well next time you see him, give him a thanks He does very important work. 👍

i have noticed on 787 aircraft the floor next to the aft galley gets hot. is this normal? i mentioned to one of the cabin crew who said it was normal. but it was so hot i was glad i was wearing socks..

[@StigAviation]

Yup that’s totally normal.

[@AndyPat239]

@@StigAviation thanks Mr Stig.

[@HatemAlmutairi-f1w]

Hello, your channel is really beautiful. Yes, we thank you. My brother, this is a big room, oh my God, there are wires and a lot of scary things

[@StigAviation]

Nothing to be scared of. It’s designed this way

[@Fix_em_jets]

I work on the A350 all the time and i was kinda shocked to hear how difficult it was to change a 787 battery. We have four on the 350 and its about as easy to change as your car battery👨🏼‍🔧🤷🏼‍♂️

[@StigAviation]

It’s incredibly difficult, and very tedious, they literally encased the darn thing in the iron coffin.

[@Chris-Nico]

That’s because the A350 is a superior aircraft.

[@Chris-Nico]

Correction: Boeing engineers didn’t ‘fix’ the battery, they did a band aide.

[@Jordan_Barnett]

Where are your lint-free gloves at when handling oxygen?

[@StigAviation]

I didn’t have them available but I made sure to have my hands clean of oil/dirt as well as the surrounding area.

[@wv_]

Do you have to take any special training or certification to work with oxygen? In diving we need to do all this training on only ever using the correct lubricants and seals and the hazards associated with working with valves and regulators for pure oxygen or oxygen rich equipment.

[@StigAviation]

The license and type certificates I have for the aircraft plus the detailed manuals basically gives us the training for oxygen bottle removal and servicing.

[@AvStevieStevenJamesDrums]

It would fascinating to know how many miles of wire is in one of those 787’s.

[@StigAviation]

If I remember correctly, I believe it’s somewhere around 60 to 70 miles of wiring

[@mrgreen4688]

great plane although as a frequent flyer I prefer the 777 and A350. 787 feels smaller than the 350. Not sure if it actually is.

[@marcellkondor3414]

because yes, 787 a bit smaller. A350 competes with the 777.

[@StigAviation]

One thing amazing about the 787 is the comfort factor. It’s a much smoother ride and less jet lag due to higher pressurization of the aircraft.

[@chrisf1147]

26 seconds: holy shit that’s a bundle f**k and a half!

[@StigAviation]

It’s nuts on wire management on aircraft. It’s actually beautiful

[@Lion_McLionhead]

Can't believe they never found a way to make reliable batteries. Never had trouble spotting defects in a battery, but everything changes in a giant corporation.

[@StigAviation]

As I said it was a lot of new technology they used in the 787 compared to the conventional aircraft. It’s had to go through growing pains to get the bugs out of the systems.

[@PRO-PLANE]

It’s not that bad. Everything is very well labeled 👌
