In the late 80s, early 90s I was lucky enough to fly on Corp G-2s. No hush kit at first and no fly by wire. The company also had a 10 seat "wide-body' fly by wire Canada Air. Pilots preferred the manual control of the G2. Even got to land in the jump seat once when I was the only passenger on the plane after we dropped off our VIP. Wonderful experience 😁

[@eyemdphd]

I really like poking around in the guts of machines, seeing how they work. Diameter of those fuel lines is really impressive!

[@CorporatePilotLife]

And these are small engines. I'll have to show you guys the Gulfstream fuel lines sometime!

[@jjsmallpiece9234]

They are small fuel lines compared to big jets

[@SmittySmithsonite]

I’ve been slacking on the tech Tuesday Vids! I just binged watched three of them in a row ( LOL ) to catch up! That’s an impressive brake system on that. It’s like six disc brakes in one unit. Reminds me of a clutch in a motorcycle, only without the lubricant. I was amazed at the size of that fuel line too! Looked like an inch and a half around! That can flow some serious fuel volume! Thanks for doing all these, Shaun - much appreciated!

[@GusCarlson]

first 310 Pilot and now CPL, good day for tech videos!

[@Klaatu-ij9uz]

Here I thought aircraft maintenance was just, "Change the oil, kick the tires and park it out back." :-) All-in-all, your Tech Tuesdays makes one appreciate why aircraft are such a high dollar ($$$) item in all respects. Truly wonders of engineering.

[@torgeirbrandsnes1916]

Great vlog as always! On the Fokker F-28 there was no hydraulic. Only electric driven engine/pumps or pneumatic pressure. It had an APU.

[@cockyrooster361]

tough little critters, these hawkers. I remember when one of them got hit with a missile a long time ago and it blew off one of the engines. It kept flying and landed SAFELY!!!!

[@patrickmorrissey8754]

Shawn You look good in blue! Excellent video on the mechanisms of the gear and the various bits and pieces. Patrick from Albuquerque

[@trinipilot2246]

Great Tech Tuesday video Sean, thanks!!! It's nice to see the maintenance side of things!!

[@mb8kr]

Thanks Shaun, I'm amazed by the technologies and engineering put in the airplane to get it the air. Really amazing

[@samueljoejr5191]

This is awesome; this kind of access is rare. Only someone like you, could make this happen.Thanks.

[@prestonmiller9552]

Always fun to see some of the guts of the plane and we get a sense of why airplanes are so expensive to buy and maintain. Thanks Shaun

[@KKG51]

So amazing to see the "insides" thanks so much Shaun!!

[@alvaromartin1185]

I miss the Gulfstream :( such a beauty

[@robertmaza4272]

These videos are so cool! To see the BELLY OF THE BEAST up close is Awesome! To someone never seeing the inside of the wheel well, it looks so scarry with all the fuel and hydraulic lines right next to the spinning tires, but knowing the safe engineering behind the whole design it's a piece of art!!! Idea: how about showing a split screen of using the yoke trim and seeing it in action on the elevator. Thought it would be cool to see! THANK YOU for taking the time to do these videos for us!!!! Stay Safe!!!!

[@dukegreg]

More like this.....! We will get you a fluorescent yellow yard-stick, or laser, to point like a professor does, each weird and wonderful system part.

[@gregbrehm1]

Excellent stuff Shaun as usual! Very interesting looking into the systems that you had exposed. It is this forward thinking that always makes your tech Tuesdays usually a winner, you think outside the box as they say. That is why you are director of operations (I think that is your title please let me know if I am incorrect)now! Love the tech and flying videos you spend time on - I realize how busy you are in operations so I really appreciate anything that you have time to put out. Bummed you are not flying everyday though. Keep up the tremendous work bud - Greg

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Thank you, Greg! I certainly have enjoyed making these videos, and appreciate you guys just as much!

[@BoB4jjjjs]

Sometimes I look at an aircraft that is in bits and wonder how it hangs together and works. I think I would over engineer one to the point it wouldn't take off. Seeing a helicopter stripped down really make you think, there is not much holding it all together! It really does make you think sometimes! Then you see the big Antonov An-225 Mriya and it makes you wonder how the hell it ever tales off, fill it up with a couple of Train Locos and away it goes! Seeing a Jumbo take of or come into land, but the big Airbus made out of composite materials, wow, it is basically plastic mixed with other materials and it takes off with two decks of people and cargo. It is something to make the brain hurt thinking about it. Keep the videos coming, nice to see behind usual set up.

[@also172]

Its all fun and game man. I appreciate all the GIV videos they helped on my training at CAE. Thanks bud!

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Great to hear!

[@chrisfisher8269]

I just started watching your videos this week after being linked as a similar video as Premier1driver which I've watched for a bit not. I had a short stint with doing private jet interiors after working on Entertainment buses and I really enjoyed working on Hawkers mainly. I'd love to get back into jets in a Florida setting. I lived in Clearwater for 30 years and moved to Nashville 6 years ago. Maybe someday something will open up down in the Atlantic side that I could continue with jets soon. COVID has screwed the Entertainment industry at the moment but private jets are gaining momentum lately. Love your videos and I'll continue watching.

[@Pintuuuxo]

Very good and very short video. Don't you worry about boring us Shaun. If the video were 1 hour long we would watch it the same way. :-)

[@teddybear3552]

This was interesting. Thank You for taking us on flights with you - especially in this miserable lockdown moment. You raise our spirits...

[@chriholt]

Love Tech Tuesdays Shaun, and appreciate the time you take to make them, especially in your new role!

[@darylvanlaningham417]

Thank you for another awesome video

[@petejones4808]

Love this content. Really appreciate the effort you put in to making it for us.

[@billnicholson2470]

Love these tech vids. Those jack screws must have a lot of pressure on them when the flaps are fully extended. Looks like it should be a little bit bigger around but I'm not an engineer. Thanks Shaun. Keep em coming.

[@goodo5691]

love it Shaun..here in Adelaide South Australia

[@waukeshapilot6462]

Those are some Serious brakes!!!!!!!!

[@SmittySmithsonite]

Yeah, I thought so too! Like six-in-one ... on one wheel!

[@RussellD11]

Awesome , now I know where to hide to get a free ride!!! :p

[@bigd-1-channel514]

Interesting.

[@philanderson1200]

Good stuff as always!

[@davelewek5769]

Great Job!

[@davidharris2519]

love the videos keep them coming

[@TheFlyingSPR]

Thanks a lot sir

[@josephcovino9697]

Thank you Captain.

[@timaz1066]

Great video, Shaun!

[@Jorgeola757]

Thanks.

[@ThomasR119]

Great video, Shaun! Love seeing in out of sight mechanics!

[@teddyballgame4823]

Your maintenance crew has been busy. Another awesome Tech Tuesday video. Cheers!

[@johnfitzpatrick2469]

Thanks, that was fantastic and intriguing. Following the hydraulic hoses and making theories of the movement of each steel bar: connection to the airframe control surfaces. Good stuff.🐪🐫

[@rikspector]

Shaun, Actual actuators !!!!! WOW:) Really ,I'm not being sarcastic, it's fun to see the difference between these baby jets and the monsters that Captain Joe shows us. These are mostly directly cabled..right? Cheers, Rik Spector

[@iisubzeroii5538]

nice!

[@matabeleman]

nice stuff bud..

[@TEAM6USA]

You should start a business consultation for costumers wanting to buying pre-owned private jets. I would hire you in a blink of an eye. The only thing stopping me hiring your service, is having $10,000,000 in my bank account.

[@FrankFlyer]

Hey Shaun, awesome video! Any chance you can show us the giant axle stands, and how they jack up and support the aircraft during maintenance, as it looks a little more complex than your average car, whilst essentially being the same process. I'm sure a few people must be curious! Thanks

[@BeechSportBill]

... I should film my Skylane Annual!

[@Victor-hb4hj]

Fuel lines are huge

[@scotabot7826]

Speaking about the jack-screw, were you referring to the Alaska Airlines MD-83 accident? Cool video.

[@larrymayberry2312]

Always love your tech videos. Question..Do you prefer flying the Gulfstream or the Hawkers more? Thanks

[@matthewstarr5980]

First! Love you videos!

[@rongerhardt9700]

Great video on the Hawker have a question about the gostream what is the shortest landing and takeoff you have done I looked up my original airport Linden New Jersey 4100 it was quite the sight seeing the G2. N4CP roll down that Runway

[@neerajsahay6354]

Pls show how Flap control unit works in Hawker 800XP

[@hawk4174]

That accident with the "Jack Screw" were ya referring too Alaska 261 years ago in California?

[@jcjammer1]

Is that the one they flew inverted into the ocean.

[@hawk4174]

@@jcjammer1 Yup.

[@hommie789]

Shaun, who runs the systems during hanger time? Do the mechanics know the plane well enough to run the flaps, gear, etc or do they get a pilot to come out and run them while they monitor and access them?

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Yep...the mechanics handle all that stuff

[@troyjollimore4100]

Flaps, gear, etc... are mostly just 'flip a switch' systems. Not too difficult for a mechanic to figure out. ;) Unlike flying, they can easily figure out how to operate multiple types, though they still get training.

[@elbarto3802]

I miss John....have a vlog with old friend John.......Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@WolfPilot]

Cool video Shaun! Is this the 100hr? or is the Hawker in annual?

[@videopokernetwork6824]

Hangin' with my Hawkers. Nice to be able to say that. Question: If the FO is the Pilot Flying, and a CATIII Auto Landing is required, does the FO still get to log tbe landing or does it default to the Captain? Best- WJA

[@cmans79tr7]

2:03 Surprised to see the same type of brake as on my old Columbia bicycle coaster brake. Not like automotive disc brakes. Also like a clutch pack in an automatic transmission. I would think this type of disk pack brake type would get incredibly hot being enclosed and not liquid cooled. But i guess the multiple disks give more surface area for braking and cooling as opposed to automotive type disc brakes.

[@troyjollimore4100]

The fact they're completely enclosed is why they're designed like this. They can heat sink a LOT of energy! Too much for a conventional multi-disc system to dissipate.

[@rbnhood39]

👍

[@timallen9381]

This has nothing to do with the video but I was watching a video where you was talking about which states you haven't visited in. Just wondering and you fulfilled all the states yet? And also when you landed in West Virginia which airport did you land at just wondering from a MOUNTAINEER. Have a good day

[@RogParish]

Could you take a video of them swinging the gear?

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Definitely on the list of things to capture. I'm hoping to get this one before it gets put back together.

[@adamdarnell7996]

I will try to make sure Shaun knows when we are swinging then.

[@michaelthompson4269]

Try to get a shot inside the wheel well. The way that side stay folds up is crazy. That gear is an engineering marvel.

[@BIG-BUDDY63]

hey i was watching your videos from a couple of years ago i just subscribed a few days ago are you still flying with your buddy he was in all your videos with you ?

[@OlavSurlandHansen]

I feel a bit taken aback at how much can go wrong on these planes, like the jack screw you mentioned. What about fly-by-wire aircraft, aren't they simpler to maintain versus these massive hydraulic systems or rods and levers for mechanical transfer of movement? If battery technology takes further strides, we might even get rid of the bulky fuel systems. Or is jet engines unthinkable driven by electricity only?

[@troyjollimore4100]

About the same as what can go wrong in a typical automobile. 'Fly by wire' isn't the same as what you probably think it is. Rather than 'pulling back on the stick' directly powering a hydraulic pump, it signals a computer that decides how much the pump should run, and what other control surfaces or systems also need to be activated, and by how much. For instance, there is so much air flowing over the surface of the rudder at speed, you would need quite the cable and rod setup to move it... Battery propeller planes are being evaluated now. The main downside is that batteries don't lose any weight as you progress through a trip, where a conventionally-powered aircraft gets lighter as fuel is burned. Apparently, there have been reports of battery 'jet engines' being tested, but that's just conjecture at this point. Hydrogen fuel cells would be one thing to look at to power these electric motors.

[@XX-166]

I miss the call sign PRESIDENTIAL 69

[@matthewlambert4182]

Yeah, Sean and John was my favorite duo too.

[@retop56]

How are we supposed to live the corporate pilot life if we're not corporate pilots? I take SSRIs so I highly doubt I can get a PPL anyways...

[@Tom_YouTube_stole_my_handle]

"Max arrêt", arrêt being French for stop. Don't try and put that one on us British. :-D

[@mb8kr]

Teasing between french and the British funny though, as Rosebeef and escargot, and yet so true Max arret for arret maximum

[@KutWrite]

And they call a Quarter Pounder a "Royale." (according to Q.Tarantino)

[@nicks4597]

Too short ;)

[@dennismassie3552]

👋🏻KSRQ ☀️🌴🇺🇸🛩

[@also172]

For some reason with the bear you look smarter, but with an evil touch....just saying bro.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

I'll take that...LOL. Thank you!

[@brandonnlemkee6635]

Horrible planes to work on from a mechanics perspective.
