Stig Shift #25 (Aircraft Maintenance Adventures)

Thanks!

I fear the reason you constantly say please don’t be afraid this is normal behavior of the aircraft or this or that. Is because someone has filed a complaint about you stating these things scare them….. please tell me this is not the case…

You might have just made me wanna do this job and go take the classes to get into this work I originally wanted to get into welding but I've always had a fascination with aircraft and my whole life I've been around and watched anything to do with planes I love this video

For the total value of the cars, 5-7 of us could fully retire for life.

Most planes are white and the APU exhaust sits up pretty high. It looks like a cats butthole.

I'm one of those tiktok instagram reels kinda guy with a low attention span but I watched this whole video start to finish! Very interesting stuff and informative

These videos are awesome! When I used to work on brake control for Colljns we called the BSCU the Brake System Control Unit.

I realize I’m late to the party but love the video, and that is a ferrari the “Dino” was named after Enzo’s son who was a ferrari engineer but had passed away (Alfredino Ferrari)

Good to see someone walking through aircraft maintenance.

anything over an hour is too long. For the sake of your channel growing. Dont go longer. But i freaking love this. Plus the sounds puts the baby twins to SLEEP hahah

The Dino is a Ferrari. Kinda. DIno was Enzo Ferrari's son. He died aged only 24, but designed the engine that went in these cars. They weren't sold as Ferraris but under either the Fiat marque or like this one purely as DIno in his honour.

I love my job as a Gas turbine technician. I work for Standard Aero in Winnipeg. Great video

Man I just stumbled on your channel and its funny how I’m getting my a&p license in 3 months and I’m going to work for American it’s great to see aircraft mechanic channels I feel like i rarely see any and it’s great to see a channel like this keep it up!!

Those speed bugs can be such a pita to replace, gotta warm em up or the plastic just breaks

For someone on their home stretch of getting their A&P and taking their landing gear block next this is the best video to watch. Wish I can gain every single knowledge you have. Glad i found this video.

Does anyone know how it is working for Lufthansa in europe, more specifically in Frankfurt? I might be able to change from Ryanair also in germany

Man your content, explanation and delivery really is another level, you've have a new subscriber, thank you!

What are the windshields coated with??

Great job, Stig!

What location ???

Stig, nice video on the tire change! I’ve got a question for though. Did you do the job by yourself or did you have an assist?
I ask because in the military world ( I’ve got 20+yrs combined with the F-16 &A-10) you’ll typically have a 5 level sign off the corrected by and a 7 level sign off the Red X & IPI.
I’m looking at moving to the civilian side and am just curious as to the difference’s.

i love how supportive the other mechanic was when you broke the safety wire

If Airplabe it's old, it's best not to enter it period

split it

So 787 is all electric heavy when it comes to starting, but are the new LEAP-1 engines the same way? Or are they still bleed air starting like jet engines always have been?

Hey my brother ,do you have any idea about the new psi system for the powerplant ?failed powerplant written twice ,any advice ?

Hey Stig,
forgive me for noticing and asking, but when tightening an axle/wheel nut on an airbus (changed both NLG’s on a A320 last night) , the Airbus AMM says to spin the wheel in the same direction as you’re tightening. Even says to not let the tire rotate when loosening. I just double checked the AMM to make sure I was right, before bothering you and asking;)

Is the same not true for Boeing? I noticed who ever was helping turned the wheel in the opposite direction to tightening!

I have not done a tire (wheel/tire assembly) change on a Boeing, YET;)

We are supposed to have our first 737 MAX arriving today as a matter of fact, lol….. I work for Allegiant as an AMT in Florida, the other coast, lol.

And by the way, we all f’up safety wire sometimes, and have to make a 2nd attempt at it (sometimes more than that for some people, lol), no biggie! I usually get annoyed with myself, because I hate doing things twice unnecessarily, but it is mostly comical;)

I prefer the longer video format. I watch it, usually when I have down time at work, after I’m done with my “Stig shift,” lol….Guess I can’t get enough of aviation either😂 watching this one on my day off, jeez what is wrong with me, lol…..😂

6cy Ferrari Dino, yes, they were crap, of course now people want them although it's still low on the list.

First time here and just sat and watched the whole thing! Fascinating! I think you could be doing exactly the job that an awful lot of us would love to do.

If the Y ELEC pump is on is the PTU running the entire time for the green system?

Thank you stig

The " what is that?" On the back of the fxxk evolution is a nozzle to accept air. It has multiple functions but the main two are controlling suspension which is controlled by an on-board system with pre-sets. Setting A night have a different suspension height as setting b and to switch between the two you need compressed. The next function and more popular because it's used every single pit stop is to lower four Pistons that contact the ground and elevate the car. When your specific class of racing has so much money you put a system into the car that allows you to fire every single pit crew member that would be used to jack up the car. Lol

Stig what airport do you work at

Seeing all the cool cars in the cargo section makes my day. Keep doing it. I love planes but I also love cars. You made me want to work in airplane maintenance

Long videos are great Stig! Thank you for sharing the knowledge :)

It’s really interesting seeing that the similarities between aviation mechanics and automotive mechanic like myself

1hr of aviation, your content .. much more better than watching a Netflix

are you hiring A&P mechanics?
