@19:30 I've been looking forward to using this radar but I have yet to be assigned an ex-alaska bird. From what our training slides said it's basically weather radar showing returns like a CT scanner. It will vertically segment the radar returns in 500 or 1000 ft increments (can't remember), and instead of having to finagle with dish tilt angles which only correlates your radar returns with your altitudes if you do some tedious mental math, with this one you just pick the altitude of the echos you want to see (usually your own). Sadly looks like we're not keeping these and they're going to put the collins radar eventually like the rest of the fleet, which is still good but not nearly as fancy as the Honeywell.

[@StigAviation]

Thank you for this wonderful information, I’m going to pin your comments so people can read this as well

[@noahaviation4717]

as a pilot, I am always amazed at the level of detail and knowledge the maintenance crew has! Without them, pilots would not be flying anywhere! Thank you to all maintenance personnel for your dedicated hard work!

[@sebastian1907]

;)

[@cm9247]

HEAR! HEAR! 👍 Astounding how much knowledge these cats have. The engineering that goes into these incredible machines is mind-boggling.

[@I7470]

True. Unsung heroes of aviation. Without them no aircraft will ever take of or stay in the air. Nobody sees them and it's the most under appreciated job in the world. Thanks to people like stig and shows like aircraft investigation people are slowly getting aware of this profession where you cannot have the luxury of making mistakes. God bless them.

[@sanjayvaradharajan]

generally, how many hours of sleep do u get on average?

[@StigAviation]

Thank you so much for the kind words, I appreciate you being here, we fix you fly 🤙🔧🫡

[@airborne5607]

The absolute highlight of my week. When stig uploads it's a beautiful thing🥹

[@StigAviation]

Thank you for being here

[@davidcavanagh8687]

Every single upload you post here on YT is a delight, as its full packed of useful info that a lot of people like me never know or get to see, the more knowledge about aviation the better

[@Twobarpsi]

That lightning strike inspection was extremely interesting Stig! You've always said, "From tires to toilets!" Now you can add coffee maker swaps to the list 😃🤙!!

[@StigAviation]

Yes indeed. We do it all we fix it all. Cheers 🤙

[@davidcavanagh8687]

Does that $6,000 coffee maker come with gold leaf coffee

[@dean9498]

Heck yeah. Stig video. Just got home from work. Perfect timing.

[@StigAviation]

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@Arabraxas]

We had a lightning strike 2 weeks ago on a Dassault Falcon 900EX biz jet. It happened on the landing approach with thunderstorms in the area, but the crew was unaware they had been hit. We found the static wick on the right wingtip melted, which triggered the full airframe inspection. (Easier than what you faced because it’s a smaller airplane.) We found the entrance point on the bottom of the left wingtip fairing. It blew a countersunk rivet right out of its mounting hole with a burn mark. Ended up replacing the wingtip fairing per Dassault engineering.

[@StigAviation]

Lightning sure does interesting things. I’m glad you found it though. Good work my friend.

[@eliott.6997]

Wow that lighting strike inspection was something else! Imagine doing that on an A380… you’d be there for days! Still it’s always a fun experience to watch your work! Great stuff as always Stig, look forward to the next one! 🇬🇧

[@StigAviation]

380 would definitely take a long time to do. And a very high reaching lift would be needed.

[@joeljenkins7092]

It's wonderful how you fawn over your babies. I'd feel absolutely safe in any machine you maintain. Keep 'em flying! :)

[@StigAviation]

Thank you so much Joel

[@michelleiglesias228]

I don't fly often, but traveled out of state and back last week and I have to say, killing time at the airport was much more enjoyable seeing first hand all of the little details you teach us in your videos. My family may beg to differ after being taught about 777 main gears and barking dogs against their will, but these little details are what make aviation interesting! I know your videos take a fair bit of effort to produce but they sure do make my day. Keep up the good work and your trademark optimism, Stig!

[@bige.3474]

Another difference between the ex Virgin NEOs and ours is the emergency path lighting. Instead of lights mounted on the seats, they have glow in the dark strips on the floor. There are no wires.

[@StigAviation]

Ohh i didn’t notice. I’ll have to check that out next time it comes in. Thank you

[@ArturoSanchez-mz7ud]

We are so lucky to see everyrhing in your video, the view above the 777, inside the wing, the apu, and more. It's another wow video! Merci beaucoup Monsieur Stig

[@user-mh3vg3ky7i]

LOVING LIFE STIG! Appreciate your Positive attitude. I have Never been late in over 28 years! I love my job❤

[@StigAviation]

Yup 👍

[@KevWitt3455]

I so totally do have to watch it all at once. C'mon, who wouldn't...? I know it's hard to improve on near perfection, and this one was particularly excellent btw and I loved seeing the technical things in this one, and I most definitely agree that the longer and more technical, your videos are the better. It's what makes your channel and adventures so absolutely brilliant!!

[@StigAviation]

Thank you so much Kev. Always a pleasure to have you here.

[@KevWitt3455]

Thank you so much, too. Best channel ever!! 👌🖖

[@Unrattled]

Been watching your videos for some months now Sting, I'm a huge AvGeek, loved airplanes since childhood. I have a whole 737 home simulator at home too. All these things make you truly appreciate the operation of an aircraft. I work for FedEx and I'm thinking about going after a material clerk job. They order the parts for the planes used to by maintenance. Keep up the good videos Sting, and hello from KMEM.

[@durangomac]

The A321NEO's were delivered ETOPS certified to VX/AS but after the merger they pulled them from ETOPS ops because they didn't want to use the 320CEO aircraft on the Hawaii flights. The 320's took way too many weight restrictions going to Hawaii.

[@StigAviation]

But I thought the Hawaii trips needed that second ACT. I could be mistaken though, regardless of that thank you so much for the information.

[@ivancano7622]

Yes long videos are nice. I watch 30min during my lunch break so I have something to watch everyday 👍🤘

[@jonbradshaw3385]

Thank you so much! I love and look forward to your videos. But who knows, maybe I too have lost a screw or 2! 🤪😂

[@jonbradshaw3385]

Stig, you put a lot of work into your videos. It is very much appreciated your level of dedication to teaching people like me and many others the adventures of an aircraft mechanic. Thank you Sir!

[@stellarproductions8888]

All men lose screws eventually, its the right of passage. What you don't wanna lose, is your nuts, you lose those, your really in trouble. 🤪

[@StigAviation]

Thank you so much Jon And don’t worry we all have a few screws missing 😂 i definitely do 🤣

[@Avishka6750]

It’s a very common thing! If you don’t mind!🤣

[@Verypickledlemon]

Wohoo! First! I saw the VC-25 take off live on LA flights! Awesome video today, thanks so much! Glad you are finally getting the recognition you deserve!

[@StigAviation]

Thank you so much, and I’m glad you enjoyed it

[@miykle7493]

As a newer technician (only had my A&P for about 1.5 years) stig always seems like the kinda guy that would be an absolute pleasure to work with and learn from. Love the videos man

[@childishrare]

the lighting strike from LHR is my favorite part of the vid soo much details and certain areas POV we never get too see from a 777-300 er. ALSO MOOMMMMMM stig just uploaded bring me my popcorn

[@StigAviation]

Glad you enjoyed it. Enjoy the popcorn 🍿

[@greenbriar07]

That rinky-dink kidney-bean sink IS ridiculous - I'd imagine that lav floor gets reeeally wet (eew). 😅

Yeah, it’s tiny

[@adamtastic8848]

Hey Stig, you might not remember me, I went for the MRO interview. Thank you for the tips it really helped, I find out next week if I got the Job or not. I will let you know if I get it or not fingers crossed :)

[@gscman10]

Sending you luck.

[@ForTheBirbs]

The best of luck!

[@HBSunsets-on2ke]

Sending yeeeeew positive vibes & good wishes!

Same here. It’s like waking it up from a deep sleep

[@keithwoollen5745]

Enjoyed the lightening strike inspection Stig great video 👍

[@BeakerHoneydew_MuppetLabs]

Fantastic job! Always look forward to Stig Shift! Never knew that it took so long to examine an airplane after a lightning strike and the amount of inspecting detail that it entails. You're an amazing mechanic and teacher! Well done Stig!

[@easternairlines727]

My dad worked for American Airlines Freight back in the 70's. Flew on a 747 with the fifth engine. Coolest thing ever he said. Transporting it somewhere. Love your show!

[@SalutetoBlue]

Thanks Stig! Another great video from Stig Shift, we love working the shift with you, so informative. 👍

[@StigAviation]

Thank you for coming along with me.

[@fionawimber1028]

I've only seen the VC 25 once and she is one gorgeous looking aircraft!

[@StigAviation]

Totally agree.

[@greg6229]

I remember talking to one of the engineers where I work about lightning strikes. One of the tell tail signs on the 737s we work on would be a trail of replaced rivets down the side of the aircraft where the lightning has traveled around the outside of the aircraft melting or popping rivets before exiting the body and finding its way to ground.

[@StigAviation]

Yup. That’s about right. It will pop rivets all across if it’s a severe case. Lighting does weird things.

[@andrewrixon2347]

I recently flew a BA A321 neo from London Heathrow to Larnaca, Cyprus with a similar configuration to the first aircraft except the flight attendants seat was facing in the opposite direction by the over wing door !…also, yes, i agree, the toilets are SO small that, if you have to sit that there is no elbow room to do the “paperwork”…far too small..we heard the “barking dog” as we boarded and I pointed it out to her indoors and one of the attendants also heard and was equally impressed ! Thanks Stig !!

[@StigAviation]

That’s great that you had a good flight Andrew. Glad to hear you IDed the PTU. Well done my friend

[@stellarproductions8888]

I never been a fan of that excuse to close down the roads, I think its ridiculous, but American will understand and won't penalize you. Agreed, when I need to use the thunderbox, I'd appreciate some leg room, plus a bigger sink to wash hands. Lightning strikes are a big deal, glad you take them seriously and found the strike point. I adored seeing the 777 from that high height looking down, magnificent. I also love the sound of the main gear doors doing their final latching catchunk sound! A funny Space Balls tribute would be to put a bumper sticker on those planes that say, We Break For Nobody. LOL! Thank you for filming all these planes taxing and taking off, I am in sheer aww of all of them. I appreciate you so much Stig! 😊

[@StigAviation]

Thank you as always and I’m very happy you enjoyed another adventure with me

[@mikehanks1399]

I know it's been said a million times, but you and your videos are the BEST! And as a passenger, I'm very grateful for all of the Stigs and the outstanding job they do.

[@Kodiak31415]

19:48 The older AA airbuses with CRT displays have an old radar system that's notoriously bad, even borderline unusable in some cases. The newer ones, and the CRT ones that have been retrofitted to LCD screens, have one that is much better and gives a much more accurate weather depiction. I'm not sure how different the Alaska/Virgin ones are from the newer AA radar.

[@StigAviation]

The LCD screens are definitely better, I pinned a comment from another Pilot, he gives some good information on this other system. Check it out when you get a chance.

[@Csarb26]

Love these videos, Stig. Keep posting them!

[@StigAviation]

Will do. Thank you

[@Odontomango]

The close up on the 777 wings, flaps, slats during the inspection part was pretty cool.

[@StigAviation]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Darqstorms]

I just recently graduated from school and I’m studying for my written tests. These videos are so cool to watch and very insightful. Thank you for providing us with this

[@TheOfficialD3F0]

Heya Stig, can you do a special on the ghost stories you mentioned the other day ?

[@StigAviation]

I will one of these days. 👍

[@darrellgordon7456]

in another lifetime when I was at PI/US we had some 737-200s,-300s and -400s with aft belly fuel tanks that were used for longer flights from the east coast to the west coast. Even had some 727-200s with them . even with those tanks, we would sometimes have to stop for fuel westbound.. later days the 737 tanks were removed wen 757s came into the fleet

[@StigAviation]

Ahh the classics. Got to love those old birds.

[@ItsAlwaysRusty]

In this heat thank you for a Stig video to watch...

[@StigAviation]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@HostileMike]

YEEEEESSSSSSS.... Im NEVER late either Stig. I dont get people who never show up on time.. I work with people who show up late every single day and Its absolutely ridiculous. Im always early. Always... Unless I have an appointment, but then people will know ahead of time.

[@StigAviation]

Early bird gets the worm, i’m usually always an hour early when I get to work. I want to have my cup of coffee. I wanna talk to my coworkers and I want to settle in before I start working.

[@HostileMike]

@@StigAviation i usually get in 2 hours early so i can ship packages without the phone bothering me. And guess what?! The same people were late an hour again today. Hahaha... Every single day never fails.. I just look at it as I could never be that kind of person. I have more pride in my work ethic 🤷

Hey stig, hope youre doing well. I wanted to know if you ever worked on the American MD-80's and if you did, in what technical aspects were they different from airbus and boeing aircraft. Have a great day :)

[@StigAviation]

Yes, I have worked on them, very long time ago, though. And it’s a completely different aircraft. It’s more comparable to a classic Boeing 727. Very analog very mechanical.

YES! Another new video 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼. I am a new subscriber from SEA and already watched all of your videos. I am about to go to an interview in this few days(pray for my success). Your videos really help to brush up my knowledge. Just that if possible, can u inform the ATA Chapter everytime you want to explain something and is it possible if we can see how u write your work in the log book. Thank you in advance and i really appreciate your enthusiasm to update us with all the aviation maintenance inside. Keep it up Stig! Looking forward to your next adventure. 😊

[@StigAviation]

Thank you so much for being here, I am wishing you all the best luck and success on your interview. I really hope you get the job. In regards to the chapters, I will do my best to make mention of the chapters as for the logbook, I’m sorry, but I cannot show you that portion of my job. That’s proprietary information.

[@Arabraxas]

Just heard you get a shout out in a stream by a pilot reviewing the upcoming PMDG 777W for Microsoft Flight Simulator! After working on real airplanes all week, nothing I like better than flying simulated versions in my spare time. I’m really looking forward to the release of this airplane next week. My very first flight will be AAL349 from LAX to MIA. PMDG needs to create an animated Stig avatar to go along with this aircraft😊. I’ll be sure to give the fidget spinner a functional test for you!

Awesome Stig, thank you so so much for showing us the Queen. It's been a long time since I've seen her that closely. Isn't she just perfect!? She's just so elegant and graceful with the beauty of a masterpiece work of art. It's genuinely not hyperbole when I say I was truly heartbroken when they were retired, I know not the freighters, but almost all of the passenger versions. Thinking about it, Lufthansa might just be my favourite airline these days... I've actually been mulling over taking the liberty of asking you if you could do us/me a walk around An-124/C-5 style if you got a chance cargo side or wherever.

[@StigAviation]

Sure, I’ll try my best to do that.

[@tonyyhap3370]

Hi Stig, I Really Enjoy your Videos, My Dad, worked for Pan American World Airways or Pan Am, he was the Line Maintenance Manager for Pan Am in Panama 🇵🇦 (PTY) Pan Am provided Maintenance under Contract to Braniff International, Lacsa, Taca, Iberia, Boac or British Airways, and I think Eastern and Varig Airlines from Brazil, it was a Pretty Big Operation back then in the Sixties, Seventies and Eighties, and at times USAF KC-135's when they landed at Tocumen International Airport in Panama City 🇵🇦. I've been wanting to Ask You a Question, with all of the Scandals surrounding Boeing's Issues regarding Quality Control or Assurance, have you come across any Defective Parts or Parts on the 737 Max that you considered shouldn't have been installed on that Aircraft to begin with?

[@StigAviation]

I personally have not come across anything dubious or defective within the 737 max, there’s lots of controversy surrounding Boeing at the moment. But the thing that bothers me the most is this latest news, the amount of money that the CEO gets paid, $32.8 million a year. That is ridiculous and very greedy.

[@dennisthebrony2022]

I heard that most airlines before they owned the 777, the 777’s predecessors were TriJets like the DC-10 and L1011, for the 200/200ER. For the 300ER, they replaced the larger 747s!!! And the airlines are soon to replace even more of those older 747s and even the A380s with the 777-9X, and the A350-1000, and even replace the older 777-200ER as well with the A350-900!!

[@StigAviation]

That’s correct, majority of airlines are walking away from four engine aircraft because of fuel efficiency and maintenance cost.
