Stig Shift #7 (22DEC23 - 24DEC23) Christmas Special 

Ladies and gentlemen… I just realized I completely goofed on not giving you the answer at the end of the video. I’m so sorry… but here’s the answer.. I’ll put it here. There’s 2 parts to this. Certain push buttons light have two dots, Indicating that The corresponding part of the push button is not used. Certain push buttons do not remain pressed in. These are referred as “momentary action” push buttons. There is another function and a notification for these push buttons and indicators. And that is a reversible and a irreversible action. The push buttons that have a dots on top are reversible that means the button or the action can be disengaged. Now the buttons with the dots on the bottom is a one time function. That means if you press it that is it one time function cannot disengage Once again I’m sorry about that. I messed up editing. Hopefully you all see this.

I JUST DISCOVERED THIS CHANNEL. ITS THIS BEST AVIATION CHANNEL ON RU-vid. VERY INFORMATIVE.

"Enough of the technicsl mumbo jumbo". No Stig, that's why we're here!

Never seen aircraft walk around video in such impressive detail. Good work

Genuinely made my week when I came across this channel. The image quality, the way you narrate and the sheer expertise is enthralling!

Hey Stig! Just found your channel and I’ve been binge watching for several hours now. I’m a 737 pilot up in Canada and find your videos incredibly interesting and informative! Most pilots love listening to our maintenance guys talk because they’re so full of knowledge. You’re proving that with these videos! Keep them coming! :)

I seriously can’t get enough of these long videos, they are so inspiring and I love love seeing these beautiful machines! Keep them coming, as always many greetings from Norway! 🇳🇴

Found your site by reference from Juan Browne, the Blancolirio Channel. And just spent 49 minutes watching your Christmas special. Fascinating. I'm hooked.

Wow! Im glad the algorithm showed me this! I love airbus planes and thought i knew a lot. I love your videos! Please keep them coming for as long as you can!

OMG, one of the most fascinating and informative videos I've seen in years!!! Definitely looking forward to checking out many others. Thank you!

Stig your channel is the perfect love letter to your profession! Simply amazing and educational i imagine this is exactly what RU-vid's creators wanted to see put on it!.

Please dont stop with tech explanation. Thank you always! ❤

Thank you Stig for giving us a different view of commercial aviation. Good for us, and your company.

Beautiful ending

So many beutiful kites. Thanks for the insights!

Uff! I’m insanely hooked to your channel, Stig 😅 I’ve been loving planes since decades but now you’re helping to grow that passion to the next level. I love to see how the big birds have to overshoot the parking line and then start to turn for final stop. So elegant. Oh man, how cool is that. Thanks a lot for share so nice content with us. Merry Xmas and happy new year!

Merry Christmas Stig, enjoy your down time when you get it. Love the view of the IAE engines on the Airbus and the hi ratio hi bypass engines like the Leap 1A/Bcool to see how much thrust comes from the air passing through, take my friend

Just discovered your channel. Fascinating! I love the detailed walkthroughs & explanations. Keep up the good work!

Another fantastic video, Stig.

Merry Christmas and thank you for your service especially this time of year. Im not travelling by air unfortunately yet again but so many others are

Thanks for the poem!!!

Thank You for sharing P😎😎

Very nice...Thankyou...subscribed

Great video; very informative.

Been in the aviation industry for a while but a new line mechanic for a major. Love watching these videos.

I love learning about the 777's, my favorite aircraft. Thanks for sharing.

After a long day of family and friends and a full belly of Christmas roast its nice to relax this evening and watch your video. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas with your family and friends. 🙂

Thanks Stig , I just found what i have been looking for, internal parts of an aircraft, your video so amazing , thank you for sharing , Happy new year.

Right on man. Thanks for doing what you do.

This channels awesome, being able to see these planes from so close up in such detail is amazing. Thank you!!!!

Love it your video ❤😊

I really enjoyed you video. I love it when someone enjoys their work and loves the explain it. 😉

That 737-800 Max was so clean and new!!

That's a nice poem at the end. I need to remember that and write it on little cards to hand out next time I'm flying during the holidays!

I just discovered your channel a few days ago and have watched alot of your videos now and this particular video I wish I could give you multiple thumbs up!! I love your attitude and enthusiasm and you obviously love your job. I almost never comment on a video but you deserve it! I love all things aviation related and your content is some of the best on you tube ( and I've seen alot). Stay safe and thanks!

Stig - thanks for your attention to detail. AA is lucky to have you working on our aircraft. Learned so much in this video!

Stigg- this is an awesome channel. I am a pilot and flight sim enthusiast and your informative videos go a long way to making us pilots SAFE pilots too! I can tell your commitment to it. You hear it in your voice. You could work for me doing anything you wish! We need more people with your commitment sir! Good for you, I hope you get rich doing this you deserve it! Thanks Happy New Year and Merry Christmas a day late...

WOW! I just found your channel & I'm hooked after just 10 min. I'm a 72YO Disabled & Retired fellow but I 1st started to fly as a HS Junior as I was also a Lineboy. Loved aviation lifelong & your friendliness + great explanations are refreshing. You do have a knack ya know, True fan here & SUBD

Great video. I like all of the technical information.

Love your channel ❤️

Love this! And Happy Holidays, Stig! 🤙

Real thanks to you Stig for these wonderful videos you make, I'll take it as a christmas gift☺. I like the way how you explain the feature/Functions of everything, I learnd alot of you, btw I'm a future flight Technician 😎 I'm Learning from YOU more than from my College (Kiddning) you both are amazing. Merry Christmas 💫

Amazing video. It’s amazing to see and learn about all the behind the scenes aviation that passengers don’t get to see. Thank you for the great videos. 👍🏻

I like the subtle music you play when doing your voiceovers it sounds vaguely like an engine but also kinda sci-fi

Hey Stig, Merry Christmas, very sad to see a bunch of aviation workers having to work on Christmas. Hope you had a great year and let's have another good year!

Thank you very much for caring so much for everyone's safety when flying 😎🇨🇦🙏

Another example of fantastic RU-vid content. I learn so much more with each of your videos. Very well done, and your enthusiasm is refreshing. I’m an ‘87 Skipper in Canada, often searching for interesting information about our industry beyond my flight deck office, and your content is exactly what I’m looking forward to. Keep it up!

Excellent HDR

Great channel !

This is a great video. I hope all your others are as good as this.

New to the channel, love it!

amazing machines

Hey Stig...Just found your channel and loving it! I'm a general aviation pilot and aircraft owner so I'm enjoying your insights into the big birds and love the technical aspects of your channel. Also an AA Executive Platinum customer / flyer, I have to say your attitude and personality should be recognized by AA. It's great to know folks like you are tending to the airplanes I fly in. Thank you!!

I've never seen any of this before, super cool

Good channel

Wow thank you for your video so educational

Your positive attitude always makes my day go better and I always look forward to learning new tidbits about the aircraft you maintain 😊

AWESOME VIDEO!!!!!

Great input! Cheers from Malaysia 🇲🇾

Merry Christmas to you too and a safe, prosperous Happy New Year. Another great video, Stig. It is like having your own personal tour (haha). The GE90 is my favorite long-haul engine hands down.

Love the videos. Thanks for taking the time to explain what the components mean and how they work. I work in aviation too. Just not in the line maintenance environment.

Merry Christmas!!!

Like your content Stig..I was a ramper in the early 70's

Merry Christmas🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

Thank you for great video !! I am from the UK and don't know much about Plane technicalities but your videos are very informative, thank you for your work.

Is this the correct answer? 😅Based on Bard (Google's AI): The dots on the buttons on the Airbus A320 cockpit are called "locator dots." They are used to help pilots identify the buttons in the dark or when they are wearing night vision goggles. The locator dots are also tactile, so pilots can feel them with their fingers even if they cannot see them. There are two types of locator dots on the Airbus A320 cockpit: Top locator dots: These dots are located on the top section of the button face. They are usually used for buttons that are not often used, such as the radio and autopilot buttons. Bottom locator dots: These dots are located on the bottom section of the button face. They are usually used for buttons that are used more frequently, such as the engine controls and landing gear controls. The reason for this is that pilots are more likely to look for buttons with locator dots on the top of the button face when they are trying to find a specific button in the dark. This is because the top section of the button face is usually the first thing that pilots see when they glance at the panel. The bottom locator dots are used for buttons that are used more frequently because pilots are more likely to be able to feel them with their fingers. This is because the bottom section of the button face is usually the part that pilots rest their fingers on when they are operating the controls. The use of locator dots is just one example of how Airbus has designed the A320 cockpit to be as easy to operate as possible, even in low-light conditions. Bard is stupid sometimes, for instance, it mentioned that the type of the A/C which was A320, and then said: when the pilots wearing the night vision goggles, etc. It thinks that it is a military aircraft. 😅

I love that poem at the end, like I didn't even realize this video was almost an HOUR long. I thought it was 15 mins long. I love your passion and rants about technical stuff I'll never get to see on my flight. I' love planes but I have a fear of flying so this helps a lot.

I love this

👌👍🤙🌲Merry Christmas!!

Nice work

Is a beautiful plane

Dude your my #1 channel now… excellent videos, keep explaining everything I love the knowledge that you are providing…🤙🏽

Love the video's. love the passion. Keep them coming! I have a family history of aircraft engineers and when the first Gulf War arrived I was lined up to do work experience at school with a major carrier. Unfortunately, due to security, that was scrapped and I never ended up doing that. Instead I had to choose a second choice and with that choice it became my career for the next 30 plus years. Funny how things work out, still love aircraft, love flying, love watching videos on engineering and I often reflect on what would have been had Saddam Hussein stayed clear of Kuwait!

Very informative, thanks for posting. A&P myself, but for the past 20+ years been through two mergers (maybe with you=)) and getting parts in and out! A lot of new people could learn a thing or two from watching where the parts are (FCOC/ACOC), what they do, and how AMTs interact with them. Keep posting and thanks for working the holiday!!

Thankyou so much for a very well informed Video fellow Aviator.I thought I was going to just watch a little,but ended up watching the whole Video,coz it was so captivating with clear explanations from you.🙏

As someone who flys on American all the time, and who just generally loves flying, I can confidently say I think you have the coolest job in the world. Thanks for all you do!

As an engineer - love this stuff!! Super interesting seeing this side of things, thanks for sharing!

Fantastic content sir. Many thanks from a cold Uk.

Brilliant vlog! I’m a newbie here but will become a regular. Admire your knowledge . Good to know these wonderful machines are so well cared for. Fly American777 London to Raleigh every year. A great service.

Stunning video! ✈️ 😍 Just subscribed. ✈️

Just found your site per recommendation from AVL. Great content and love how you explain everything so anyone can understand. I have designed & analyzed many different types of airplanes on the engineering side so it's very interesting to see mechanic's side of things. Keep up the great work!

Muchas gracias por tus videos, aprendo muchísimo, eres muy buen maestro. Te deseo muchos éxitos en el 2024 y sobre todo que continues con tus intersantes videos.
