Our great lord of Aviation maintenance knowledge has so graciously provided us this video for our entertainment

[@sanjayvaradharajan]

@@StigAviation keep these coming when you can....i love watching these

[@jamesbp]

I see it more as education than just entertainment!

[@falconboricua]

What up men! Nice video and I’m glad you are doing good. I have a couple of personal questions for you if you can please help me out here I will greatly appreciate it! I’m looking to become a tech but there is not too much info out there so if you have some time for me let me know, I’m willing to even pay for your time. Thanks!

[@StigAviation]

@@falconboricua there’s plenty of information out there my friend. You just have to look in the right place. Here’s a starting point for you, the FAA website that will explain everything you need. And you don’t have to pay anything to anyone for information that is already free. www.faa.gov/mechanics/become

Stig, seriously, my friend. I've never been so fascinated with a toilet. How are you doing this!!!??? I am seriously loving this level of detail again Stig, with the diagrams, schematics and explanations. This is what we're here for and your videos really really are special and your channel is by far the best aviation channel on KZbin!!

[@0sus]

i agree

[@StigAviation]

I can’t thank you enough for the kindness and beautiful fascination you have with Aviation. I’m glad I can show you everything I know.

[@KevWitt3455]

I couldn't be more grateful too, my friend. Absolutely brilliant, I'm learning so many things that are both filling gaps in my knowledge and a heck of a lot of new knowledge, too. I couldn't wish for a better channel, to me, and I'm sure many, many others, it's the perfect channel.

Well, I have good news. I went to my oncologist and he said there is no need to put me through post surgery chemo and declared me pretty much cancer free! Now, I'm still recovering from my three major surgeries (over 24 hours worth, cumulative) and cant do a whole lot yet.

Seriously, a flying building 😅

Q: On ~10% of flights, I get hit by kerosene (Jet A/A1) or combustion fumes in the cabin. Is this from ground equipment exhaust running next to an air intake, bad design, or some sort of mistake at startup? Thank you for the gorgeous video shots, narration, information, and video editing on top. It looks like a metric ton of fun, maximum variety, and plenty of exercise. I hope you get some sort of organizational or trade advocacy performance review credit for doing this, because it indirectly provides a benefit to the industry and your shop in particular. 🙏

[@StigAviation]

The smell that you are getting is fumes from the outside that sometimes get ingested by the air conditioning system. It’s a normal occurrence when the aircraft is on the ground.

[@ebecken1]

You may want to talk about the rules about driving on the air port and the clearances from ground control, airport markings and the like. I was working on the ASOS at ALB (Albany NY) airport and asking for clearance to leave the ASOS site. It was apparent someone had a stuck mic on the ground control frequency. I called the tower directly to a recorded phone and asked for clearance. The controller gave me the clearance on the phone to drive on the runway and I found the stuck mic on a snow plow working the terminal non controlled part of the apron, The guy driving the plow was not paying any attention to the ground control radio in his truck because he was working on the non controlled apron. 🤓

[@StigAviation]

Thank you for the suggestion, I’ll definitely look into that and try to make a section of one of my videos talking about the markings on the airport and driving roads

Those round MIL-DTL-D38999 wiring connectors used everywhere look cool and they're super rugged, but they're not cheap. There are dozens of variants, depending on pin count, size, and coupling type, but a typical connector costs about $100 or so. Then the cable that plugs into it needs a matching D38999 connector on each end. When I see behind one of the panels that has dozens of cables going to the different LRUs, each one carrying I'm guessing mostly a mix of power, ground, ARINC 429, and discretes (on/off signals), the cost of just the connectors adds up. I remember Stig asking in an older video why Boeing and Airbus started using the multipoint ARINC 629 bus, but then switched to a mix of AFDX aka ARINC 664 (custom Ethernet derivative) for the backbone, plus the old ARINC 429 still used extensively, and I suspect it's because ARINC 429 is cheap to implement and universal, even though you pay for it in the weight and cost of all those wires and connectors. Apparently a bug in the AFDX switch used in the Boeing 787 is the reason why the FAA ordered Boeing 787 operators to power cycle them every 51 days to prevent "several potentially catastrophic failure scenarios" due to unfiltered stale data if you leave the Common Data Network running longer than that. That's a type of failure that you'll never see with ARINC 429 because it's so very simple. Also, you can't have hundreds of AFDX devices due to the cost of the AFDX switches. I suspect CAN FD will become for avionics what ARINC 629 tried to be because it's cheap and has worked so well in cars.

[@StigAviation]

This was a very incredible and detailed explanation. Well done my friend. Well done. 👍

[@SimonBillingham-zq4oy]

Nice explanation about slide operation but you didn’t mention that the Airbus doors are powered open in auto which is more dangerous if outside initially than the slide, hit by the door then squashed by the slide. On 737’s the crew need to push the door open to deploy the slide. Another bit of trivia from the past, on the initial 747’s the slides inflated as soon as the door opened, after several instances around the world of slides inflating in the aerobridge when cabin crew opened the door without disarming the door. The slide was modified so that the slide dropped 18inches before inflation is initiated, post mod if the door is opened in auto the door is powered open and the slide flops out into the aerobridge but no inflation. On the subject of inflating items, in the mid 70’s Qantas had an incident while in maintenance when a 40 man life raft inflated in its ceiling stowage. Caused lots of damage to the overhead structure. Shows how long ago, before slide rafts were first used. Another excellent informative episode, good info on equip cooling.

You’re absolutely correct, I did not talk about the door assist bottle, and that it will engage and swing that door open on the airbus. Thank you so much for being here and watching and for all the incredible information you put down right here.

man I doubt you’ll read this but I gotta say I love ur content…. I’ve just finished my first year of an apprenticeship working at an MRO for civil aircraft and watching your content has helped me casually gain so much extra knowledge that I use when at work. For example when in this video you demonstrated the manual engine start valve opening I didn’t know there was a manual start valve on the engine until your video. I’m not saying I’m using your content as facts or as a manual for my job but it’s definitely helping me learn all these systems a lot faster.

[@LosSantosMods]

Just to add to that… I’m learning a lot through my course and am no we’re near completed so yes I am not expected to know everything just yet but your channel has definitely been an asset to me in just casually learning these systems… aha well I guess it’s less stressful watching you do it than doing it myself 😅

@@LosSantosMods I absolutely will read this, and I will applaud you for all your hard work and dedication. This is a learning process that is a lifetime commitment.

@@StigAviationthank you man means a lot. I work at a place that specifically does C-checks on narrow bodied aircraft from b727-b757 and A320 family… so watching your videos is similar to my work so again just thanks for making theses videos Side note: do you have any content your channel about the hydraulic system on airbus/boeing or any content on how the emergency slide and girt bar ejection system works Another question: just curious, how do you have approval to document your day to day activities at work?

Another great video Stig, interesting to see where the water service panel is. Always cool to see the 747 a beautiful aircraft and thanks for the 777 take off my favourite airliner to photograph. Till next time stay safe my friend

[@StigAviation]

Thank you so much for watching Chris, I appreciate you

I'm an engineer who works for American Airlines...thank you so much for taking time to produce these videos! I really find them fascinating since we don't usually get the AMT perspective at our job. It's really hard to visualize the aircraft systems just by reading the manuals and there's not a lot of great content to give an actual perspective of what some of these procedures entail, so I find your content extremely useful and helpful for my job! Again, thanks for all you do and keep it up! PS, I used to work for ABX Air as well, so every time I see an ABX plane in your videos, I get a little nostalgic because I used to work on those planes before I came to AA!

Thank you so much for being here and thank you so much for all your hard work, forgive me for the late response. I’ve been trying to catch up with the comments. Thank you for all the kind words and support and I appreciate you being here.

Hello it’s me again :) at 25:57 that is the Ferrari 296 GT3 edition. Love when a new Stig video comes out.

[@0sus]

wow i didnt know they made a GT3 edition of that car amazing, also that 911 is the new one looks cool but they don't have the analogue gauge no more :(

[@PastorBedTime]

@@0sus yup the Ferrari 296 GT3 is the predecessor to the Ferrari 488 GT3.

[@0sus]

@@PastorBedTime yep i do know that, but that car in the video doesn't look like a 296 GT3, I thought 296 GT3 Edition and the 296 GT3 are different cars, The one in the video is a 296 Ferrari Challenge car.

[@StigAviation]

I didn’t even know they had a GT3. Well, I learned something new, thank you so much.

[@PastorBedTime]

@@0sus it looked like it had the aero of the 296 GT3 car. idk i could be wrong but it does look like the GT3 car just red cause it looked like had the GT3 stuff inside too. But like i said i could be wrong.

[@ronheather6558]

I Really enjoy your videos as a United Airlines Mecanic it's really neat to see the American Airlines perspective on aircraft maintenance.

[@StigAviation]

@@ronheather6558 thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. Is it much different from how things are done in UA ?

[@ronheather6558]

@@StigAviation not too much the scope of the work is still the same there are only verry minute differences mostly its airport design we still have a front guide person we haven't got the Eletronic one at Denver yet and you guys have more a321 neos we only have 2

[@carlosilva1158]

Even within the first ten minutes of this video it simply amazes me how complex airplanes are. So many parts that work together that i didnt know existed until watching your videos.

[@StigAviation]

And I am simply scratching the surface, it gets so much more complicated if I start digging into it further. Thank you so much for watching Carl

Gooooooood morning!!! Hey, Stig. another day another dollar! At 8:10, reminds me of Dr. Strangelove when Major Kong told the crew what was in their emergency rations boxes lol..."Russian phrase book and Bible; one hundred dollars in rubles; one hundred dollars in gold; nine packs of chewing gum; one issue of prophylactics; three lipsticks; three pair of nylon stockings. Shoot, a fella' could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff."

[@StigAviation]

That’s a great movie, I need to watch that again.

[@conantdog]

Excellent video, incredible car did you ever find out what it was. I also recognize the snap-on ratcheting screwdriver I have a very old one that's gotten crunchy, I need to chase down the snap-on truck . 👍

[@tombittikoffer412]

That Half 11 has had quite a journey. It sounds every as bit as bonkers as it looks. They've redone the canopy in it. Used to be a speedster. Can't imagine. I think I lost some hearing just talking about it.

[@StigAviation]

I’ve been reading about it, it’s quite interesting

[@jonbradshaw3385]

Oh my gosh Stig, Speed Racer was one of my favorites growing up! Talk about a blast from the past! In regards to your comment on being vertically challenged, look at it this way, you’re just more down to earth than others! 😊 Have a fantastic July 4th holiday celebrating our beautiful country 🇺🇸 however you’re spending it. And thank you so much for your message to smile! 😊

[@StigAviation]

Thank Jon. Happy 4th

Hey my favorite Stig break rider is back, makes me happy! Oh my gosh, I am truly amazed at the close tolerance of the turbine fan blades, the perfection excites me! When it comes to pesky turds, they all gotta get flushed down, yes sir! Lovely cargo, but I will skip the mustard yellow, I rather embrace the red. lol Now here this, the lavatories shall be clean, and the trash covers shall return to their upright position, and then we can thrust to TOGA. LOL! Life is always good, when we are brought miracles into our lives like Stig Shift. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, for being the humanity I wish to see. Great video!

[@StigAviation]

Thank you so much

[@skullmako22]

You sir, have motivated me to become an airline mechanic! I'm pursuing school next year! Happy July 4th!

[@StigAviation]

I wish you nothing but success. I’m here for you when you have questions.

[@skullmako22]

@@StigAviation I'll definitely reach out in the future!

[@Joe-pw5zt]

I’m an apprentice B1 AME here in Scotland and your videos are best kept secret on impressing my bosses. Love your videos a lot id like to be as knowledgeable as you one day 🤞

[@StigAviation]

I am so so happy these videos are helping you, keep up the good work Joe

[@inigo4688]

100% agree Stig, slow and steady wins the race! My snap-on ratcheting screwdriver is the first aerospace tool I ever bought! Worth every penny with how many fasteners get removed and installed over the years. 🙂

[@StigAviation]

Absolutely worth every single penny.

[@toddb8479]

Going to Phoenix, you should a note for Lady And The Ramp another AA KZbinr.

[@StigAviation]

I’m not familiar with her, I’ll have to look her up.

[@Bravo2Zulu]

Mmmm. I can actually smell the smell of jet fuel just by watching your cool videos. Thank you Stig. You rock!🤘🏻👊🏻

[@StigAviation]

Love the smell of jet fuel in the morning… smells like VICTORY 🤙

[@PauloCarvalho-ut6td]

Stig!!!!OMG Speed Racer, I spent my childhood watching this. Thanks for sharing this with us 😀😀🚗🚗✈️✈️✈️✈️

[@StigAviation]

Brings back good memories right 😊

[@GiorgiBranquinho]

Another amazing video from my friend @Stigaviation. Very interesting to see inside the aircraft's internal panels. If it weren't for maintenance, aviation wouldn't work. Thank you for this video! And never forget: cargo never disappoints! Amazing cars.💸💸😂

[@StigAviation]

Many thanks Giorgi

[@terrygivens132]

Happy Fourth Stig. Thanks for another adventure. I love all the details and how thorough you are.

Happy Fourth of July, thank you so much for watching Terry

[@fullmetal_dragon]

omg I love the "bin closer for the vertically challenged" - I would totally need one if I was a FA! Thank you yet again for the fun times, Stig. Happy Fourth!🤙
