Stig Shift #37 (Aircraft Maintenance Adventures)

It's good see I'm not the only one that talks to airplanes lol. When I'm alone with the B-1 I find myself talking to her and asking her nicely to behave today. She also likes her belly rubbed.

I’m always so sad to see that the video is almost over 😭

Very sad. Tire explosion killed a worker. I’m actually a bit confused considering the safety of filling etc and working on the.

I live in charlotte and see the psa bird flying here all the time

The poor cat he probably needs some hearing protection . I bet it's very very loud out there on that ramp especially with the Apu running

I noticed one thing there was no water in the other side of his bowl I saw pieces of food in there

Quick question about Boeing 757 tire psi. Kinda figured they operate at high psi. 200-300 psi. Like a bomb if they explode.

That private twin is a Piaggio Avanti.

At 13.06 are you talking about the eyebrow window cutouts???? I miss the eyebrow windows they were cool looking

Hello Mr. Stig. Question: What does a gear disagree indication mean? Is it in the form of a light? What should be done about it?

Hey, you probably won’t see this comment but. Can you show us an A321T? Do you see many of them coming in? From Scotland and love American aviation! Thanks :)

Never apologize Stig, we understand. Stay safe out there!

I drive by Spirit of Seventy Six a few times a week on my way to Marina Del Rey to work on the boats. I remember when it was at Hawthorne Airport until the museum there lost its lease. I was wondering how it got moved, I assumed it hasn't been airworthy for decades. I figured they towed it down the 105 in the middle of the night, but it looks like they removed the wings. Thanks for the tour.

Why do a lot of the airbus planes have like a black mask over the cockpit windows?

Watching your video makes me sad😂 I’m working on a Boeing 707 airframe in the Air Force and everything is PITA compared to the modern stuff

I'm sorry for the topical question. Airbus or Boeing?? Thanks!!

You know you became a fanatic fan when you are worried that the next video hasn’t been released yet 😂
PS: when you show cargo be aware of “ASML” big box. I noticed in more than one video. This is one of the most important machines of our time. They are critical to produce all of our microprocessors…

Just started AMT school as a junior in high school. It’s a blast so far (lots of book work now but we’ll get to do more shop work soon enough)

Thank you Stig 🙏

One day, I'm going to fly that PSA A321 wearing his old PSA work jacket

One of my stories: I was a crew chief on the C-141 Starlifter in the late 80s. We had a situation with a nitrogen cart (called a Rhino) and a nose gear strut. The scissor links were disconnected when someone was servicing the NLG strut, had the hose hooked up to the schrader valve and opened the valve. You do this from inside the NLG wheel well. The PSI was supposed to be 300, but was actually set to 3,000. The upper and lower parts of the strut blew apart. Fortunately, the man inside wasn't crushed by the nose gear, but was trapped inside for several hours while they had to figure out how to lift the nose up to get him out. They attached the nose jack pads, but they were too low to get the nose jacks under them, so they ended up using cargo straps and two massive fork lifts on each side to lift the nose off the ground. Lots of mistakes were made, but no one got killed. Every time you stand up in the 737 NLG well, I think of that.

This sounds get silent while engines on power😂

that nose wheel in the A321 give me the chills, good video as usually

bugatti also make scooters :)

Wouldn't be an Airbus without the hydraulic barking noises ❤

At around 21 minutes on the landing gear what was the jumper cable looking clip doing? Thank You!

I was/am a licensed A+P avionics electrician (ret) 24 years in the USAF, then 10 years at Dalfort Aerospace in Dallas, Texas.
WHAT A FABULOUS LIFES ADVENTURE!

Would you make a video about variety of fracture like crack, cross sectional and ect thanks

Dear Stig, i enjoy your videos a lot however i would wish they were a bit shorter (like 20min)as i do not have every day time to watch them in full lenght.

Comparing 737 and 320, which one has more issues during exploitation?

I’m possibly going to be flying out to LAX on American for a friends wedding so I might see you (I’m hoping the flight is booked for a weekend)

Interview for American this Tuesday for PHL location I hope I get it!!

My Dad was a fireman from 1947 to 68 no Scottpacks for 0 ²… l got drenched in hydraulic fluid shower too. 1983 in USAF while swinging the gear on the ground. Someone installed a small cotter key which snapped as soon as the gear moved. It went all over me and in my eyes at 1500 psi. I sprayed off immediately and rushed to the ER for eye irrigation for 3 hours. Luckily i can still see. Just a scratch to the cornea tested by ultra blue violet light. I love airplanes still. I wirked there 3 more years and watch Stig.

I wirked on C 141 in USAF. Do they still use Zeuss fasteners to close access panels? Inside aircraft.

There was a A380 that made a very tight turn and it damaged the nose gear innards. l didnt know that was possible. .

I remember when I was working in the Oil & Gas field we had to use this nasty hydraulic fluid in the the valves we were manufacturing as they had to go to Siberia and resist the cold. It can function properly at temperatures near -40ºC but smells quite nasty, it is skin irritant and very toxic if inhaled.

Thank you from Italy, I’m a student pilot making ATPL and I’m learning a lot of things from your videos

Stig love your show do all jet engines spin the same direction CCW

"In the past the eyebrow windows helped provide better crew visibility, but today's advanced navigation systems have made those windows obsolete." So it goes from talking about visibility (what do the crew need to be able to see above them) to then talking about navigation.....which is what you and many other pilots have also said it was used for. I feel like it meant better visibility of the stars.

Great show thx

when you check the landing gear like that are you mostly looking for fluid ?

Stig i just wanna say thank u and appreciate your videos. Im currently a student at SPARTAN COLLEGE and cant wait to get put in the field. Your videos make it more realistic in what me and my peers are gonna have to to do day to day
