Edit: ladies and gentlemen, a quick correction on a portion of this video when I was talking about the southwest fan Cowling incident. I mentioned the material the cowling is made of on that particular engine, which is the CFM 56-7B. The corrective statement is that the fan Cowling is made out of aluminum material. My apologies on this. Also a quick side note in regards to when I was talking about the MCAS issue and the 737 max. I’m by no means blaming the pilots. I still put the blame on Boeing. My point was that I think (fyi my opinion) that it could have been prevented. That is all. So please don’t get upset at me for speaking my mind and having an opinion. I’m simply explaining how the aircraft works and what it’s capable of. That is all.

17:07 "... you need people that are proficient in operating that machine ... they need to know what they're doing" You're probably representing a common sentiment in your industry, aiming for balance and nuance against the very strong repeat criticism of Boeing. Often times public criticism is uninformed and absurd. But, sorry, in my opinion in this case, you're apportioning excessive criticism & responsibility for the two 737 disasters on the pilots. Pilot training and a runaway stab trim procedure were not adequate to recover with undisclosed MCAS as it was implemented then -- non-redundant input from one alpha vane, high horizontal stab authority, and repeat pitch down commands at unknown intervals. That version of MCAS was very crude. Test pilots with inside engineering knowledge would have a fair chance, but that is too demanding for above average line pilots. My opinion. You're entitled to your opinion, and also recognizing you know more than almost everyone.

@@collectorguy3919 Stig is right, Boeing chose not to add that detail to the Manual. I did hear one of the tapes, the copilot did turn off the stab trim, but it was too late, and the pilots could not recover the aircraft. Stig mentioned that fact in his comment. The other issue was Boeing relying on one sensor only. That was and is against any and all engineering rules for aircraft design. (Even the automobile industry relies on redundancy). The third issue was Boeing outsourcing the code to India. Aerospace Software Engineers would have instantly recognized the danger of that situation and not have released the code. Saving pennies to spend billions... I hope that culture of bean-counting changes very soon. Passengers, crew and operators don't give a flying fart about investors and shareholders when the plane falls apart at 16000 feet. Boeing shouldn't either.

Another great video. I have to tell you Stig I had a couple firsts in my life recently. I was able to ride in a Platus pc-12 from moses lake to Boeing field Seattle, approx 200mi and only took 40min from wheels up to wheels down. By far the fastest and loundest single engine I've ever been in. Then once at Boeing I was able to be on the tarmac around allot of jumbo's. They look big on video but when I was on the ground by them they are gigantic, even more so then when your in them. It's so much to take in, an experience I'll never forget. You get to do that on a daily basis and now I have even a better understanding why you love your career so much. 😊

Thank you so much and I hope these videos are helping you as well.

I can indeed remember using microfiche when employed by Boeing from 1979 to 2016. Going digital made it SO much easier to find things. I performed final assembly functional test on all the systems in the factory for the 47, 57, 67 and triple 7. Watching your videos bring back many memories. If you know what a Belden braid is, that's not one of the good ones. Lol.

It’s definitely much nicer nowadays with the motor technology and all the digital manuals.

Hey Stig, came across your channel about a month ago and I love that you share your perspective with us! I work in TechOps as well, but on the backend, so I don't often get time in the field. I specialize in cabin lighting systems for most of the fleets that my airline operates, and I was wondering if you could show what your cabin colors look like for the BSI fleets (OEM on later 737NGs and all MAXs). If you have the time, of course. Anyways, love your stuff and your attitude. I have been really happy to meet so many people in the industry that share your interest and enthusiasm.

It was a lovely little surprise with the ladybug. And thank you so much blessings on to you as well.

Love your videos Stig, I watch them religiously. I'm a passenger service agent with an airline and have decided to pursue a career in aircraft maintenance. My course starts in June, hope all progresses well for the eventual switch.

Wishing you all the best in your journey. Don’t hesitate to ask questions. I’m here to help

Thanks! STIG is back and working like crazy. In all kinds of weather, rain, snow and even when it’s hazy! He may take a break for a candy bar or toffee but I think I’ll treat him to a great big coffee! In CA it may by a tiny coffee! 😂😂

I will never say no to coffee, I live on it. Thank you so much for your generosity my friend. I appreciate you.

Excellent stuff! I feel more confident you having experience in a range of aircraft. If you know the difference between them, then you are good to go. ;) Flying the thing is a matter of trust in ones' own capabilities; not so much engineering? One would normally assume that, that,said process had been completed. It is so cool how many views of the world are out there. Here we are sharing them. Real time. I dreamed of this when I was a kid raised on radio. Then there was TV.

Thank you Jeff

My favourite time of the week. Stig-time! Ah yes, the good old microfiche reader. Try carrying that on your hip. My eyes became misty when you said what you said on family and flying, and dedication to maintenance. Of my many hats I used to do emergency vehicle electronics and electrics. People asked why I was so particular about it. My answer is that someone's life may depend on it... Cheers
