Hello everyone, and welcome to the wonderful world of aviation. I am an Aircraft Maintenance technician, aka an Aircraft mechanic. I have been fixing aircraft for over 24 years, and I'm here to share with you my passion for aviation. I have worked on many different types of aircraft in my career, and I'll be showing you some of the amazing things that I encounter on a daily basis. I do have other social media pages where I am more interactive; do go check out my Instagram and TikTok for unique Aviation content. Do feel free to ask me questions, as I will be more than happy to explain things to you. Thank you once again, and I hope you enjoy all of the Aviation Fun.
Hey Stig, there's a product called Poppy's Patina that you can use to preserve the look of your toolbox while helping prevent further corrosion damage. Thanks for the video as always!
May be a dumb question. But when the engine is spoiled up and running is it always producing thrust and controlled by brakes or are they able to numb the thrust some way and not have to ride brakes. And yes I was unfortunate enough to get one of those seats one day. I was pissed. 5 hour flight no window lol😢
Du ever meet up with blancolirio yet on the LHR flight? Not sure I understand cargo not putting the Porsche on an M2 pallet like the Ferrari was and leaving it massively susceptible to damage with both bumpers hanging out like it was… There’s a product that’s called naval jelly (get the spray can version) that will convert the rust on your box to a paintable surface with no sanding and you can then gloss or matte clear over top of it to restore your box’s weather resistance without loosing the patina.
Am I basic for liking the newer Ferrari more? Old cars are cool yes and it's interesting to see just how car design has changed over several decades, but I like newer car designs more(except the Cybertruck ofc)
Hi Stig Aviation, I'm turning 20 years old on June 1st, and I couldn't be more thrilled about the journey ahead. I just wanted to thank you for the incredible inspiration you've provided through your videos. Your passion and expertise in aircraft maintenance have motivated me to pursue a career as an aircraft mechanic. I'm currently studying in the AMEL program at Civil Aviation Training Center in Thailand, and your detailed explanations and hands-on demonstrations have been invaluable. Even though I know this path is challenging, your videos have pushed me to persevere through the hard times. Thank you for inspiring me. I am excited about my future in aviation because of you. 🙏🤙
Great video once again Stig always looking foward to watch and learn from these videos. My question is how come you turn on the batteries on the airbus before the ext pwr and leaving the batteries on?
Really love those shots you take of the aircrafts during takeoff and taxi. Pretty neat!❤️🔥❤️🔥 it's possible to start as an aircraft engineer and later move to become a pilot right?
With the first video, how then do the wheels stop spinning after takeoff for the airbus. And with the boeing is it the same mechanism with all the variants?
Stig, once again amazing video! I do have a question though, would you be able to show me how the emergency exit lighting on the cabin floor works in a 737? I know I am late in saying but Happy Aircraft Maintenance Technician day!! Without people like you, we wouldn't be able to experience our loved ones far from us. Thank you for all you do!!!
Stig, I know you work for America (from what I can tell), but any idea where I can get one of the leather caps some of the Delta ground crew wear? I can’t even find one second-hand. I guess selling ground crew uniforms would pose a security issue, but those caps look so dang cool.
19:35 I don't know for sure but I heard that the left aft pump is easier to change if it fails so some companies choose to use that one in case one has to go bad it better be the one that's easier to change
⁴Hey stig. When you were talking about it IDG on the triple seven, on the mcdu, it read '777-300.2'. What does that actually mean because I've noticed it before on one of your previous videos on a 200, and it said '777-200.1'. I'm guessing something along the lines of what you might call a retrofit or upgraded systems or something like that...? I've also got to say that the way you ended the video was truly thoughtful, beautiful, and touching. I can not even begin to describe or explain how much respect I have for you and what you do, and to create an ending like that not only shows how dedicated and brilliant you are at what you do but also shows that you are a truly amazing human being as well. One of the genuine few who actually do make this world a better place, and like I said, I will never be able to find the words to explain the respect and admiration I have for you. As for being seen, believe me when I say that the people who know, most definitely do see you and we couldn't be more grateful because without you these beautiful, graceful and elegant works of art would never leave the ground and be where they're meant to be. You truly are a guardian of flight and a guardian of our safety, and for that, you will forever have my sincerest gratitude and my deepest respect. You are honouring Chales Taylor and your profession in a very special way, not only with your skill and dedication to the profession but also by sharing your knowledge and teaching us through your brilliant videos and channel so thank you Stig, sincerely, for everything and I wish you an wish you a wonderful Aircraft Maintenance Technician Day.
16:25 i always remember the united airlines breakdown video especially when i see people reposting incidents for example that flight test that got cancelled by boeing due to weather and it cuts to the 737 mcas related crashes (and also the vertical take of tests which make me laugh as its a test plus they are built to do it which makes it safe) and i always recommend they watch you just so they dont go blaming everyone for it because i know some people that did that lol
You triggered memories for me with your Paul Harvey homage to Charles Taylor at the end. Brought back memories of riding in the car with my mom as a kid (5-6yrs old), hearing Harvey on the radio on the way to visit my dad in the hangar to bring him lunch. Walking around the F-28s that were in, or the Metroliners, just typing this out I can remember the smells both inside the aircrafts and out in the hangar. Your homage couldn't be anymore spot on about aircraft mechanics. If you know, you know....✈🔧
It hits Home for all of us, we all live that life. Nobody sees it besides our colleagues and our families. It’s not easy, but it’s worth it. I hope the future generation understands what we have sacrificed, it’s much easier nowadays. But it’s OK, we paved away because we want to see a better future.
Stig is there a secret way they name the planes like a A380 is actually 380ft long as appose to a A320 at 320 foot long, Great videos love them and I feel I need a Turbo oil pump thing.
Been watching your videos for about 6 weeks Stig, brilliant found so much about planes from your knowledge watch you all the time now best wishes from the UK.
