What Really Goes On Inside The Grounded Planes and Engineering?

With so many aircraft being grounded during the COVID pandemic, in this video I discover the answer to how do airlines store and re-activate airplanes? I asked Etihad Engineering about the work required to store an airplane, protect the plane from heat, humidity, sand and dust; I also inquired into the processes involved in bringing a stored plane back to service.
Then I took a tour of the Etihad Engineering hangar, observing how the maintenance is carried out. A lot of behind-the-scenes repair and maintenance work goes on in the hangar. Finally, I visited the airline workshop; to see how they manufacture and repair seat covers, engine covers, toilet doors and bulkhead panels. A lot of work is carried out to make sure the planes are well maintained.
I asked a few questions on the future outlook of aviation engineering and the entry requirements for a person looking to get into aviation engineering.
Finally, I would like to thank all the hard-working ground staff and engineers during the pandemic; their work didn't slow down (it actually increased) making sure that aviation remains safe and that standards are being maintained.

As an engineer myself it’s great to see us finally get some mainstream exposure that most people will always forget about! Great video

[@Vik.kem7]

It's so interesting to note that how innovative Sam has been getting with his content even in these uncertain times! Unravelling the nittie-gritties of an aircraft and a million small elements that go into a making of an aircraft, the finer aspects that we often tend to overlook while flying normally otherwise! Thanks for the amaze coverage in this video!

[@SamChui]

Thank you so much of your appreciation. I believe the content should be balanced. There are still so much in aviation I haven't covered. Lots on my to do list.

[@pasoundman]

@@SamChui How's the flying going ? Do you have any opportunity to advance your training in Dubai ?

This is why I love your channel. You always take a deep dive into all things airplanes. This video was very interesting and teaches one a heck of a lot. I hope all these birds get off the ground flying soon! 🤞🏼🛫

[@SamChui]

Thank you Michael. I love the varieties in aviation. Engineering deserve more coverage.

[@amithattimare834]

Massive respect for all the engineers working to keep our aeroplanes safe for everyone.

[@lajoyalobos2009]

That was insane, the huge workload involved is otherwise unimaginable. Thank you for showing us behind the scenes!

[@Dragflyer9669]

Sam's video is always my greatest therapy after a long and tiring work. It's great that you are able to keep uploading new videos to keep us entertain during this hard time for almost all industries because of the pandemic. Can't wait for the air travel to open up and travel to make travel vlogs soon. Stay safe and healthy, Sam

[@SamChui]

Thank you for such encouraging words! Hope we all get to enjoy aviation and travel again soon!

[@justintanofficial]

Nice to see more unique aviation content from you! Your videos allow us to see behind the scenes experiences! Love your video editing skills too! Immediately watched your video when the notification fron your channel comes! You are an inspiration for many #avgeeks

[@SamChui]

Thank you for your support Justin!

Hi

[@BeechSportBill]

WONDERFUL TOUR... THANKS!

[@samr6148]

Thanks for bringing us along, Sam. That was very interesting!

[@JasonSturgess]

Love these Vids Sam :) Makes us all appreciate flying more all the hard work going on in the background.

[@SupremeLeaderKimJong-un]

We take good care of our planes, the most supreme care of course

[@Acepilot1312]

Kim Jong-un that is why they are grounded for 6 months in a year. Mind buying new aircraft?

[@RatedJBR]

hahahahahaa

[@kamlendrasingh7082]

My heartfelt salutations to the supreme leader of north korea for keeping your planes well and also keeping your country free from plandemic corona.

[@aaravsgaming337]

Isee you everywhere lol

[@jimmypappas9780]

Hello Supreme leader! Most glorious master of all

[@kellywan3765]

Show great respect to these engineering guys behind the scene all over the world during this hard time. Thank you all. As a pilot feeling safe to fly again.

[@joebarrett4353]

Fascinating video, Sam. Just finished watching your catering video as well. So much going on in the background. It's opened my eyes to a whole new world of aviation. Good stuff. Thank you.

[@misterdroneboy8999]

Sam this is the greatest video you have ever created. Absolutely astonishing. A massive credit and respect for Ethihad to give you the insight! Just brilliant! ✊🏽

[@hernandoramon5046]

Great video Sam, thanks for sharing

[@hitardo]

Loved the video! Thank you 😊

[@eviain]

Thanks for doing this video, I was wondering what went into the storage of aircraft during this time. As I suspected a great deal of maintenance required to keep them in a fit state to fly. Loved the dive in to the routine maintenance programmes too! Brilliant as always 👍

[@excitedstepbro6956]

Love your vids Sam. You making days better .

[@thegreatestdonut461]

Thanks Sam. Great video, very educational. Really sad how new airplanes may be retired due to rust etc. Again, we have to stand strong through this time.

[@Sonny0276]

Great Video. Thank you for posting.

Hello San - I just recently ran across your channel. I really enjoy your videos. I like seeing how everyone was practicing safe social distancing in the video during the era of the human malware virus... Hopefully, the trend of getting these planes back into the skies continues.
