EDIT: quick edit ladies and gentlemen , when i spoke on the TERR on ND.. i got a few things incorrect .. there has been some amazing people that provided the correction with extensive details. I pinned one of them to the top of the comment section so you can see the proper information My apologies for that and thank you for correcting me and teaching me cheers 👍
Welcome back everyone to another Stig Shift. Hope all are doing well and healthy. I finally did a bit of organizing with the videos, so now all the Stig Shifts are numbered. Now you can keep track of what you have watched. This is episode 22. I still can’t believe that I made this many 😅. Ohh well. More to come.. hope you all enjoyed this one and I’m sorry if I didn’t get a chance to answer everyone’s questions. But i promise I’ll get to them at some point in the future. Until then.. keep asking keep learning and keep teaching. Cheers 🤙

Me again late to the party, this time I'm going to nitpick your EGPWS explanation. At 40:10 you say its a snapshot of the radar, that's not the case. The TERR ON ND switch strictly pulls data from from the internal EGPWS GPS terrain database, airborne or on the ground, doesn't matter. That's how that function works on every plane I've flown outside the bus too. The WXR does indeed have a terrain mode, but it's brought up separately, in-flight only and only when the radar is actually on, by flipping the radar mode to TERR. It's also like this in all other airliners I've flown. But frankly in 12+ years of doing this, I can count the number of times I've used that mode, usually just to make sure we're within the required number of miles from the coast if in a limited over-water plane. You're better off using the TERR ON ND button since it's much less finicky and don't have to finagle the gain and antenna tilt to make it work right. That diagram you posted seems way different than what we get on the pilot side of things, as far as I know the WXR is completely unrelated to the EGPWS system in practice, any terrain-forward looking is done by the internal EGPWS terrain database. Been a while since WXR/EGPWS was in the last recurrent training slides rotation, so I could be misremembering. As always, thanks for the great work

That AN-124 (UR82007) was saved from destruction by random luck! Antonov Airlines got a last minute request to transport some heavy cargo to the Malaysian island of Penang. The airplane left Hostomel airport one hour before Russian invasion. That car at 25:39 is a Lancia Integrale

Cargo truly does not disappoint yet again, and so does the whole video! The Porsche @ 24:45 is a 959 which is a rare model in itself, but the interesting bit of history behind it is that it was designed as a rally car to compete in the famous Group B category. Unfortunately by the time it was ready, Group B got cancelled for being too fast and/or accident prone. Having this design goal in mind, this is why it has a very tricked out AWD system with selectable torque-split (front-rear) by means of a dial inside the cockpit. Even though it was late for the rally party, Porsche made sure that it's still a big deal by making it the fastest production car at the time, reaching 200Mph. The Lancia Delta is another Group B gem, but with a twist. It took me a minute to notice the details, but this is in fact another insanely expensive restomod by a company called Automobili Amos. I believe they were supposed to make 20'ish of them. The body is extensively modified and made from carbon fiber. The drivetrain is nothing spectacular having 300hp, but a price of $650 000 is spectacular enough I suppose.

650k for a lancia is insane. I'm sorry but I don't care how good it might be that is insane.

@Blockrocko Месяц назад

@@FloorItDuh Oh yeah, absolutely with you on this. Some expensive restomods like the Singer 911 are really engineering and design marvels worth every penny, but this one beyond the carbon bodywork is not something you wouldn't be able to make yourself or with help of a competent shop. It must've been worth something to someone though, so at least we're able to take a look while it's passing through cargo.

@Zone5Aviation Месяц назад

Those arrows under wing seem to be familiar. Happy to be corrected but I understand that are like reference points where the fastener can be removed and plumb bob can be attached for when major structural repairs need to be done when stress jacking is involved.

@StigAviation Месяц назад

I’ll dig into that portion of the manual, thank you for the suggestion.

@joanieswanson570 Месяц назад

I want to address that seepage with a relatable story. My husband is a retired Hoover Dam tour guide and security officer. There are places inside the dam where there is clearly seen seeping by the canyon walls and the concrete structure itself. It was designed for this and that water has its own collection area inside the dam. It is the dam within the dam. That water flows out into the tail bay at the powerhouse. Seeping water is OK. When you began explaining the seepage thing, I understood what you were explaining. I’ve been to those areas inside Hoover Dam, but they are now closed off to everyone for security reasons. The architects of Hoover Dam understood how pressure behind the structure could build up. To them, a little seepage is good. Thank you for another amazing journey. Take care and be safe.

@StigAviation Месяц назад

This is a beautiful explanation and a very interesting analogy. I am glad you enjoyed that and I also enjoyed your story with the Hoover dam.

@loganjay9025 Месяц назад

Also car windows are usually kept open in case the battery dies, this ensures that the handbrake can be released so that the car can be moved or so that bonnet can be opened and the battery can be recharged

@StigAviation Месяц назад

That sounds logical. Makes sense 👍

@thereissomecoolstuff Месяц назад

Stig my angel was flying on American last night Charlotte to Cincinnati. It was an Embraer aircraft. They hit heavy weather and circled the field for 2 hrs waiting for an approach window. She described it as terrifying with insane turbulence and women screaming. They ended up returning to Charlotte. After hearing her account it gave me great solace that the amazing A&P team keep Americans fleet so well inspected and maintained. The plane had to have a heavy weather inspection plus. Your channel gave me the confidence everything was going to be fine. Thank you friend.

@StigAviation Месяц назад

I’m glad everything was addressed and it’s unfortunate. They had to go back to Charlotte, but safety comes always first. I’m sure they will catch another flight and make it to the destination safely. Thank you so much for your kind words as well my friend.

@ItsAlwaysRusty Месяц назад

I wonder if the small arrows indicate locations for measuring stress or deformation on air frames? Use each rivet point as a fixed pre measured location to determine if the air frame has flexed or changed between each point? Just a guess. Seemed like something you would see a surveyor used to measure drift or change in a land mass.

@StigAviation Месяц назад

I’ll dig deeper into the manuals and see if there’s any mention for that. Thank you for the suggestion.

@BR-bj3ot Месяц назад

Yes, Mr. STIG. Checklists are an essential part of our job. First and foremost, they are assurance that everything has been completed and the aircraft is ready for the next phase of startup, taxi, descent, after landing., etc.. There are many. I just named a few. Complacency is something that we are very careful to avoid. Checklists help to keep us on our toes and covering all the bases, so to speak.

@StigAviation Месяц назад

Another excellent addition and beautiful explanation by you. Thank you so much.

I always do my own "memory item check list", when I dispatch A/C, or do engine runup and etc. It's really helps & saved me many times😊

@rilmar2137 Месяц назад

That Antonov is actually an AN-124-100M-150, a later modification of the AN-124-100. It has greater MTOW thanks to reinforced structure, greater range, better fuel efficiency (a slightly changed nose shape) and has modified engine cowlings for noise reduction. According to the promotional materials by Antonov, it also has an "digital anti-skid braking system" installed, I guess the brake fans may be a part of that?

Hey Stig, avionics design engineer here. Your vids are fantastic but you didn’t have it quite right on the EGPWS. The terrain picture comes from GPS position linked to a terrain database, not the weather radar. Although it can normally pick up some ground clutter, weather radar only looks for precipitation. What we were seeing is the terrain picture from an internal database. Anyway keep up the good work, love seeing your content.

@BigEightiesNewWave Месяц назад

YES, I was wondering if airliners could or DO USE, something like Garmin Synthetic Vision used in GA I have seen to see an actual synthetic map in real-time of the terrain in inclement weather and such. Seems it could be quite the life-saving tech. in a GA, so why not in an airliner?

@Nickpilot318 Месяц назад

39:00 The Terrain display is purely from the database. It seems counterintuitive, but to get the radar terrain mode requires terrain button to be off, and radar on from the radar control panel in the map mode. It will then display what the radar sees as a ground map. On the ground, we turn the radar off during our after landing flow. The only radar-derived item not inhibited in terrain mode is the PWS (Predictive Windshear).

Excellent explanation Nick. Thank you for that.

Hey Stig. That beautiful motor on the cargo ramp was a Lancia Delta HF Integrale Evolution II. In that sort of prep and condition, I reckon it's worth around $150,000+ for a road version, but possible way, way more depending on its history and if it's a proper rally spec. Could be $1m+ if rally version. Very rapid Italian rally car from the early 90s. A thing of sheer beauty ❤😊

#1 principal of engineering: everything leaks, it doesn't matter what kind of engineering you practice, you will have to deal with leaks There's an entire system in your body just to deal with leaks called the lymphatic system. But there's a big difference between a bit of seepage and a spraying bad leak Edited to add: those arrows might be some kind of datum for automated inspection equipment. We add similar datums to our PCB designs (or so I think, I'm on the schematic design side of things) but the datums would be used to localize inspection equipment on known points. They could also be support points during the manufacturing process. If the Boeing people don't know, then maybe someone with Mitsubishi heavy industries who is the contract manufacturer for these wings iirc might know.

@StigAviation Месяц назад

I’m gonna look around even deeper for the answer regarding the arrows, but what you said actually makes a lot of sense.

Thank you so so much again for a truly fantastic video. I'm a little confused as to how your videos keep getting better and better, and I truly appreciate how you're including more and more techno "mumbo jumbo", although it's not mumbo jumbo, it's one of the many many reasons we all love your videos and it's brilliant information that explains and teaches us so so much. I've said it before, and I'll say many more times, BEST AVIATION CHANNEL ON RU-vid, so again, sincerely thank you 😊🖖

@StigAviation Месяц назад

Thank you so much Kev. I’m very happy you enjoyed it. Let me know if you find anything on those arrows.

@KevWitt3455 Месяц назад

Yes, of course I will. Are they just on the triple sevens? I'm not just saying this for the sake of saying it and not to just be polite but your videos are absolutely amazing because the more technical you are when describing the better the video is and you are raising the bar every time you make a new video. I think we are all such huge fans because not only because we love aircraft but we also love to know how they work and you have a brilliant way of explaining things that even people with barely any knowledge of aircraft can learn and more importantly actually understand. So again, thank you so so much for your amazing videos, and please don't ever stop teaching us. I'm probably projecting a bit here, but my Dad was a very senior technician in both the RAF and British Airways. There was only one rank above him when he was in the air force (enlisted, he wasn't an officer) and at BA I guess he was in the same position the senior technician you were talking to when he was doing the flight control test on that 787 a couple of videos back. I can't remember his actual job title, but his office in one of the hangars at Heathrow was bigger than the house I live in now. He really did teach me a heck of a lot about aircraft and how they work, and now I'm learning even more thanks to you. Being an aircraft engineer is the only thing I've ever wanted to do with my life. It's my calling, you could say. It was one of the best and proudest days of my life when I was doing that work experience I told you about a little while ago and the crew chief said to my "wow, you really are your fathers son aren't you". I figured out there was a defective microswitch on the rear cargo door of a 747-400 stopping the lights coming on in the cargo bay. Sadly I didn't get the opportunity to follow in his footsteps for reasons I won't go into in a public forum but suffice to say it's the biggest regret of my entire life, so I think I can say I have as much knowledge as anyone who hasn't had any official schooling/training or is actually working as an aircraft technician. Anyway, I'm waffling on now, but my whole point in this novel of a reply was just to explain why I think the more technical you are the better and why I feel just how absolutely brilliant you and your videos are.

You are absolutely correct.

Thanks for the crew quarter tour!! Don't think anyone knows the crew is resting above their heads. Hands down the best channel around for line maintenance ops!!! GREAT PRODUCTION 👍

I went to Hoover dam in 2009. I could feel rushing water in the pipes under my feet. It was amazing.

@StigAviation Месяц назад

I’ve been there once too, it’s a pretty amazing place.

@UniversalExports Месяц назад

Awesome Stig thank you. I was wondering in a future video, can you show us something that absolutely fascinates you? With all you know what bit of engineering never ceases to amaze you? It could be big or small! Thanks Stig 👍

@StigAviation Месяц назад

Believe it or not everything I talk about absolutely fascinates me even to the most smallest instance, such as a screw or a design.

37:47 slight correction: that's small lever is a part of cargo door locking mech. interlock function: door closed, lever pressed, and you able to lock the door with external handle.

The Antonov is beautiful!! WOW!!! Thanks for taking us along to see her. 😮

@riaanlouw1874 Месяц назад

You obviously never saw it's bigger sibling, Antonov An-225 Mriya, that unfortunately got destroyed in the war on Ukraine. THAT plane was exceptional.

@StigAviation Месяц назад

My pleasure

@StigAviation Месяц назад

Indeed, the 225 was incredible, I never had the pleasure of seeing it either.

@fullmetal_dragon Месяц назад

I never fail to be amazed at the crew rest areas tucked above our heads on the wide bodies. Amazing video as always! Here's hoping we figure out those pesky little arrows.

@StigAviation Месяц назад

Glad you enjoyed it. Hopefully the mystery of the arrows will be revealed

@cartracer64 Месяц назад

great video stig. you are so knowledgeable on the center gear area. you had mentioned on the nose gear area the uplock actuator and the release for the manual drop of the gear along with the main actuator. just recently a fed ex 767 in instanbul had a nose gear that didn't come down, can you possibly know what could have happened and was there a secondary backup other than the lights in the cockpit warning the pilots..

@StigAviation Месяц назад

I saw the news on the FedEx 767, I don’t know why or how that happened. Something definitely malfunctioned and the gravity drop system did not work, but the pilots did an amazing job.

@Mark-sp6vq Месяц назад

Cant wait for another episode of what does it cost. Love those vlogs! Bring it!(Please)

@StigAviation Месяц назад

I’ll try to do that Mark. I’ll be honest with you. Somebody complained to high heaven about those, so I had to stop doing it. I’ll try to figure out a way to get it back.

@SimonBillingham-zq4oy Месяц назад

The arrows on the 777 are probably, as an earlier commenter said, for specific measurements for jig position jacking and alignment using a laser theodolite. I suggest that ATA chapter on jacking and levelling and the SRM would be the best places to look. The info will be deeply buried in both documents. Great content, finding out lots about aircraft I haven’t had experience on, keep up the good work.

@StigAviation Месяц назад

I’m gonna start digging into that. Thank you for the help. Much appreciated 🤙

7:40 It's always fun to have people referring to the AN124 as something very special because I'm just so used to them as the airport an hour away from me has them literally stacked. there's always 5-8 there, no matter what day. Still happy you enjoy and treasure them like this. I do too ^-^

@StigAviation Месяц назад

They are an endangered species within the aviation world, that’s why we all find it so beautiful and always a pleasure to see

When I saw a video of the Antov recently I was impressed by the amount of wheels in a row. I called it a centipede like you just did. That made me laugh.

Totally enjoyed the tour around the antonov I agree with others for the reason of the arrow on the fasteners. Another great video from Stu with so much indirect information it will take me a week to digest!

What I wouldn't give to have one GEnx or GE90 fan blade to have as art in the corner of my living room as a conversation piece. Those blades are such masterpieces in engineering. It amazes me how far aviation has come in the last 35yrs or so, in design. But it's also sad as well seeing so many old designs and manufacturers that are now gone, like 727s, Dc-9s, Dc-10s, MD-11s, etc.., very rarely ever seen in the US, only in South America and other countries, and in memories in videos on youtube. Now it's all Boeing and Buses, CRJ's and ERJ's.

@StigAviation Месяц назад

You can buy old decommissioned blades, I personally have a CF6 engine blade sitting in my living room.

As someone who works in the car business, they likely leave the driver front window down if the keys are in the vehicle. This is to prevent the keys from becoming locked inside the vehicles. This is particularly important when the vehicle is being transported in a fashion such as this where access to another key is not available.

@Twobarpsi Месяц назад

True, but the amount of dust and fumes at an airport could ruin an interior 😮!!

@StigAviation Месяц назад

That sounds like a very logical reason.

@02hockeystick19 Месяц назад

@@Twobarpsi if you look, they will often cover interior items in plastic wrap or some kind of a protective material. Not always I’m sure it depends on the carrier or the preference of the owner of the vehicle, but I’m sure this is available to them.

@6:28 the NTSB determined that the Alaska 737 did not land outside of limits. It was firm, but not a hard landing. It was determined that a fractured MLG pin was likely to blame for that incident. the G forces for that landing according to the NTSB was roughly 1.7 Gs, well below the hard landing limits of 2.2Gs
