Houston Hobby Airport performs C-check washes on 737 Boeing airplanes. The main purpose of the wash isn't cosmetic.It's to clean up components for inspectors the next night to inspect everything and get a good look.
In 1975 to 1976 I was a aircraft cleaner for Southwest and we washed aircraft every night just wings wheel wells and aft section of aircraft unless it was freezing. We clean the interior of the two aircraft first.
@@ketler3525 wow you were OG lol I have a few cohearts that were around during that time and did exactly that. So it was a blessing to be in the era that I came in on where it was a dedicated wash crew…still is.
That's my world five nights a week (I'm the one in the green rain jacket) we wash all year. It's not too bad once you get into it but It does take a toll on your body. Iv been doing it for a little over six years.
Hi MrBones - I'm a MBA student at UT and am doing some research on exterior aircraft washing. Would I be able to ask you a couple questions? You seem like you have a lot of experience!
Hello to all, I have a question concerning job opportunities with Southwest Airlines Maintenance. I am an A&P mechanic with 21 years of mostly working engine maintenance with the USAF and GE Aviation though have some airframe time. I am enquiring on what the pay scale and benefit packages they offer for heavy maintenance or line maintenance. Any help would be greatly appreciative.
NeonSlime Gaming I personally don't know as I have no experience in this industry but I know some instruments (eg weather radar) use reds and greens so they would be difficult to navigate if you can't differentiate between the colours.......but then you have your co-pilot.
do you ever stop and think about how not too long ago everyone dreamed of flying next to the birds. and just 100 years ago the 1st airplane was built. i wonder if they thought we would ever fly through the air to get to places faster and not even think twice when a flying machine passed our house. heres to one of the biggest leaps forward in human history
How will the water and soap ruin the sensors? When the aircraft is in flight those sensors must be subjected to forces equivalent to a water hose spray.
Water accumulates inside them and cant drain out properly then when the aircraft takes off and flies in -55 celsius it freezes into them and blocks them. This can cause (amongst others) loss of airspeed indication / loss of altitude indication / false (or lost) angle of attack readings ->leads to stall. Frozen outflow valves can cause cabin pressurization problems, frozen engine inlet pressure sensor can cause engine control failure.
The plane will air dry over night when left on the ramp. We wash planes here in Houston, Texas at Bush Airport from 9;00 pm - 5;30 am. United and Delta.

Dear Mr. Ian Kinsler, I'm doing aircraft cleaning works in Indonesia, what is the cleaning agent (chemicals) that you used ? Please inform me the brand name of the products, and where to purchase it. Thanks, Ricky
If he said "...an uh" one more time I was gonna scream. And I have to wonder, do I really want to fly on an airline where one of the guys working on the plane calls an engine component "that compressor thing"? Guess what Southwest? The answer to that is "No".
B. W. Behling I really like how everyone of RU-vid plays the, "You didn't understand my comment, so I'm going to assume and critize you intellectual ability". First of all, this person is not a mechanic. Therefore he does not need to know about how the engine functions. His job is to simply clean it. Flight attendants don't need to know, and it's perfectly fine if they dont.
+Kevin Young Again I have to question your reading ability, which is not the same as your intellectual ability, since you seem incapable of reading simple sentences accurately. Regardless, if you're comfortable flying with an airline where spokespersons from the maintenance crews cannot remember the names of major aircraft components, enjoy your flight. I'll fly with a different carrier.
B. W. Behling Reading and Intelligence are linked (obviously). Like I said before, it's not his job to know how it operates, it's to clean it. *It doesn't matter because he is causing no danger to the aircraft* Also, I find it pretty foolish to not fly one airline, that operates almost 700 aircraft, because one person doesn't fit your criteria.
very bad job and very very poor quality. I was shocked when I see how such a bad job performed by swa. I watched twice this video then I figured out lots of poor standart applications and deviations from the manufacturer and faa standarts. e.g. : - not protected safety valves, open outflow valve and ram air inlets. -not properly protected and covered aoa sensor. -not protected fuel vents flame arrestors on wing, and pressurized water application them. and I wonder that if they could perform all required flap, slat etc. lubrication tasks after washing the aircraft because of the scheduled flight at next morning.
are you sure that you know what I am talking about?That washing performance is very bad job acc to faa, easa regulations and Boeing (the type certificate holder)maintenance procedures.
Hakan..... See the intro. Your quote: ".....because of the scheduled flight at next morning". No.....they can't lube or do any other oil inducing/(filth) operations. The next morning is NOT flight time. It's going in for its "C" check. No maintenance is done 'til the inspection is over. No scheduled flying again, til the inspection is over....and that is if, and only if, the airplane passes inspection. I can see how one can get confused.....the intro was not clearly stated.
