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.
When I was working for my local airline, I really admired you guys....pilots always get me starstruck though, childhood dream 😅😎 * Dried off under 737 NG packs many days😂
OMG What you said about PW engines.. Jesus Christ they are the worst.. And I'm talking about the newest PW1100. Everything in the hot section..Have to open the hot section just to read the IDG Oil level, then they go and place cables in the way of the IDG Filters. Then you need a wrench to close the Reverser doors with that flimsy closing mechanism they installed...Horrible engine.
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! :)
Thank you very much Captain, I appreciate you being here and expanding your knowledge. As a mechanic, I also love to talk to my pilots and learn how they operate the aircraft in the sky. I also have fun with them and give them different scenarios and see how they react. We all learn from each other, it’s a wonderful feeling.
I was an A-6 Intruder plane captain in the U S Navy back in the early 1970’s & our jets had the J-52 Pratt & Whitney engines. We did our daily inspections before each days flights. We also did turnaround inspections for second flight of the day. We fueled them hot ( while running ) & cold ( after shutdown ) in the fuel pits. We also walked around with the pilot while he did his preflight inspection. Then we strapped him & the bombarder in their seats. We then started the bird & went through the hand signals to make sure all the physical & electrical components worked. Then we saluted the pilot & sent them on their way. And if something bad happened to the bird it was our ass that would get hung.
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!
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! 🇳🇴
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!.
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. 👍🏻
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
Thank you so much Dennis. I truly appreciate you being here and I most notably, appreciate your love and passion for Aviation. Do not hesitate to ask any questions, I am here for you, and I am here to show you this side of Aviation. Thank you for being here sir.
Found your site by reference from Juan Browne, the Blancolirio Channel. And just spent 49 minutes watching your Christmas special. Fascinating. I'm hooked.
Thank you so much for your kind words, I tried to do my best and showing the little tidbits of aircraft maintenance information. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
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.
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!!
Oh, trust me, I went through the same mergers, Might as well put Velcro on my chest and keep on swapping company names. 😂 and you are absolutely correct, mechanics need to understand component location, and description and operation. I highly encourage young mechanics to read the manual.
Thank you for keeping us safe . Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas and Happy new year. I enjoy your videos and your knowledge. I meat so much from you . I feel safe flying
Love it! Keep doing videos. I hope your channel grows tremendously because it’s excellent. Merry Christmas and thank you for your detailed and precise practices to make sure of the safety of flight.
Stig ,I just came across your channel,so lucky I did . What an informative and interesting channel put in layman’s terms by someone you can tell loves their work . Can’t wait for the next one . Happy new year to you .
Merrrry Christmas. Thank you for posting all of these shift videos. You are the only one that does and it is so interesting especially for people like me who are wanting to go into this field.
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.
Thanks so much for the excellent video. After working for the airlines for 42 years, I am now retired since 2020 but for 35 years I worked as a Sheet Metal Mechanic then as a Line Mechanic. The last six years were the best even though I was a dummy . You are doing excellent work. Thank you again and I look forward to watching more videos from you.
Thank you Wayne for being here and thank you for all your hard work throughout the years. Sheet metal mechanics are pure artists. I wish I knew more about it.
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.
Loved it Stig fantastic. Hope you still had a good christmas & wish you a happy new year & although I've never been on a plane not even a short flight here in uk thanks for doing your job & keeping people safe.👍
Kevin, you need to get on a flight and enjoy the joy of Aviation the day that you do you will be smiling from ear to ear. Thank you for the warm wishes. I hope you have a beautiful holiday. Wishing you all the best.
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.🙏
Hey Stig…. I was just watching ur other video & received notification of ur new video. Love ur work man. Really appreciate ur hard work & amount of information u share in ur videos. There is always something new to learn.I can literally listen to u all day. I really wish I could work with u someday… btw Im a Junior Mechanic from India. Lots of love & support ❤❤❤
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.
The green light on the side of the "flat bed seats" indicates if the seat is in a safe configuration for Taxi, Take-off & Landing (TTL light). It comes on to show that "an internal lock is engaged" to hold the seat in the upright position for TTL. Without the lock, the seat would not be able to hold itself up in the event of an emergency (on the ground). Love the content...thanks!
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!
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!
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...
Happy new year and merry Christmas my friend. Thank you so much for the kind and beautiful words. And the whole point of this is not to get rich the whole point of this is to educate and allow the future generation to understand what these aircraft are capable of. I’m here solely for the passion and love of Aviation. I am blessed to have a an amazing job where I enjoy every aspect of it.
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. 🙂
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!
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 really appreciate your kind and thoughtful words, thank you for being here. In regards to my employer recognizing me? Well, they do know what I do but I don’t know if they really appreciate it. 😅 walking up in line but I’m still happy that I can show what I can.
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!
Thank you Steve. I appreciate you choosing to fly with us, it’s people like you that put food on my table. And I’m proud to maintain these birds and keep you safe in the sky. Thank you for being here sir.
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. 😅
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
Hey Stig, really enjoy your channel. As a 38-year fellow airline mechanic, I really appreciate your passion and professionalism. I have experience with the PW 4000 and agree it is a true pain in the butt to work on, but have never seen the oil tank on the hot section of the engine as you mentioned, only on the fan case. Keep up the good work!
The oil tank on the PW 4000 is in the aft portion behind the bypass, remember how you had to service it, that pesky little panel. And thank you so much for 38 years of hard work, I appreciate everything that you do. Keep them airworthy my friend.
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.
Thank you so much for watching especially to the end. I am very happy you’re enjoying it. And if you have questions that can relieve your fear of flying, please don’t hesitate to ask.
@@StigAviation Me too I worked in the reservation center here in Phoenix when I started it was America West and I was there for the US Airways merger. When the merger with American Airlines started I left. Here a fun fact when it was AWA they had a hanger in Phoenix and they would allow us to park there and even give us ride of the terminal. Thanks for putting out the video it cool to see the maintenance side.
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 💫
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.
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!
