EATON Aerospace Overhaul/Manufacturing facility.. This is where Aircraft parts Go for Refurbishment 

I really appreciate you showing the inner workings of our craft as A&P’s and the men and women who support work back shop and component work like Eaton, hats off to you brother!👍🏾

Thank you Stig for taking us around the Eaton factory - really impressive business. Indispensable for reliable flight.

Very skilled at this at Vickers dynapower/stratopower. I built, rebuilt , lapped pistons, and fine tuned on test stands, manual and automatic. Pumps, motors, starters. I loved that job... Even patch test runs .. particle count of a series break in...

First view, like & comment! Very detailed video!!

Stig…see if you can visit Tulsa’s store for wheels and brakes. "So when you see mighty jet aircraft as they mark their way through the air, remember the grease-stained man with the wrench in his hand; he is the man who put them there."

Thanks for this good video, Stig! I too once worked in an overhaul shop in my career.. we repaired or overhauled many different components. What I learned from this helped me once I got on the big jets to help troubleshooting problems. Knowing how these components function internally really helps. Couple of things: 1. These are FAA part 145 repair stations 2. Pre testing is required on everything received to verify or not the customers reason for removal. 3. All techs must write detailed tear down reports…. Goes with the aircraft record! 4. Most components are not conditioned new but either repaired or overhauled. 5. Any modifications or AD’s must be applied prior to QC stamp of release.

Stig that was amazing. We install Eaton switchgear, MCC’s and other Eaton electrical components. I never knew they did this type of work, and the extensive testing and QC. Thanks again for educating this AvGeek.

I'm working in electronic company and we had rework stations where rework mechanics and electronic modules. The accuracy of PM (preventive maintenance) and scheduled rework activities are most important. Into aviation branches this is *primarly* for safety. We hope to have ever certified and tracked spare parts. Thank Stig to shown these "background" activities.😊

Great video thank you for sharing th9s side of maintenance

Excellent video!! That’s to Eaton!

You seem like an awesome guy Stig ! Your videos are very informative

General public wouldn’t know the detail involved very complex.

This was my first attempt to get into this wonderful industry. I went to Falcon Jet in Hasbrouck Heights, NJ for an interview & it was a total joke. I understood hydraulics, electronics & mechanics but this person was just playing with me. I was trying to make a good impression by being friendly & cordial but he wanted no part. He gave me schematics to read that were in French. Components I knew, writing I did not. Then he gave me two cables like car battery cables, maybe 2gauge he wanted me to solder them together with a 25W pencil soldering iron normally used on component’s like IC’s, resistors, etc. impossible for cables that size. It was a horrible experience. I think he was just going through the motions but already had someone hired. Or maybe he didn’t like Americans, you know what they say about the French!

Very informative and clear nice voice explanation

That’s cool, I work in aerospace supply chain planning and deal with Eaton quite often though I’ve never had the fortune to go to their facility! I have seen some of these parts though 😉

Technicians at my employer have FAA licenses to service the air cycle machines. Some of the guys here must have something similar.

Cool video! Is there a reason that all of your videos are filmed in portrait? I (personally) find that landscape mode is a much better viewing experience. Food for thought, thanks for sharing!

Never cared about planes. One day on RU-vid a channel called midair disasters. I listened to the stories and found it interesting on how some pilots pulled off some miracles. Then I bought a flight sim game a couple weeks ago. Now I'm down a rabbit hole trying to figure out codes and how things work. Then I came across this channel. Never knew the complex workings on just to get a plane to move is crazy. The comment about good parts aged well now that Boeing is messing up.

That is insane I'm blown away. Eaton deals with AIRCRAFT parts And i was thinking they only deal with truck transmission's. That is very impressive.

Stig , it's OK to say " Servo" your speaking my language,,

The secret is in the sauce! People behind the scenes keeps them flying!

I worked at an OEM/overhaul shop and yeah... never again lol it was a waste of time as an a&p, lots of quality and engineering issues and in places other than CA they just hire anyone off the street for cheaper than you could work at target for.

Whats up with the video format

Yeah they do a great job but nah f*** that spending 40 hours in those sweat shops
