Aircraft Maintenance Education
Hello everyone, and welcome to the wonderful world of aviation. I am an Aircraft Maintenance technician, aka an Aircraft mechanic. I have been fixing aircraft for over 24 years, and I'm here to share with you my passion for aviation. I have worked on many different types of aircraft in my career, and I'll be showing you some of the amazing things that I encounter on a daily basis. I do have other social media pages where I am more interactive; do go check out my Instagram and TikTok for unique Aviation content. Do feel free to ask me questions, as I will be more than happy to explain things to you. Thank you once again, and I hope you enjoy all of the Aviation Fun.

@ 50:00, just before you mentioned it I asked myself if you were going to change both light bulbs. 😀 Makes sense to change both while you're at I think.
I don't fly often, but traveled out of state and back last week and I have to say, killing time at the airport was much more enjoyable seeing first hand all of the little details you teach us in your videos. My family may beg to differ after being taught about 777 main gears and barking dogs against their will, but these little details are what make aviation interesting! I know your videos take a fair bit of effort to produce but they sure do make my day. Keep up the good work and your trademark optimism, Stig!
Even though I am an avgeek, I enjoy your videos because of your positive presentation and your enthusiasm! You are very much appreciated!
this channel is incredible. the details and just showing us what this stuff is in real time.
At 1:04:38 it looks like the engine on the left of the united plane taking off is producing alot of smoke, I found this curious because i thought most planes nowadays are basically completely smokeless, im sure its safe, but do you have any idea what might be causing it?
@@brys6577 look up PW4000 engines. You’ll understand
Hey stig! I just came across a video of someone that captured the exact moment the lightning hit that exact same 777 you inspected. I noticed it was N729AN. The video was posted 16 hour ago by Oryxflyer and its called "LIGHTNING STRIKES MY JET - American B777-300ER Economy Trip Report | London Heathrow - Los Angeles". The strike is at 13:29 during takeoff.
@@nicholasmendonca1808 small world we live in. Isn’t it
@@StigAviation absolutely! And its crazy how electricity works too. Although the char was on the top of the aircraft on that antenna like you showed, the person is recording the right wing and it simply looks like it just hits the wing tip!
Have you ever thought about buying a gopro? Especially for the maintenance side of things. They are a little pricey but even an older generation creates great videos. Let me know what you think!
@@brys6577 I have one but i don’t have time or capacity to set it up. I’m not some influencer or professional videographer. I’m just a mechanic that’s shows you what I see
@@StigAviation that's completely fair. Gopros are also known for losing footage randomly and that would really suck if you were recording all day. Compared to the relative ease of just doing it on phone, so you can record, edit, and upload all from your phone. I just found your channel via this video and I am loving it! My uncle is a pilot and so this is a really interesting thing to see. Thank you.
Why is there a tread difference between the two nose tires @49:00? The RT tire doesn't look like a normal radial for a 737.
I don’t know if you listened to the video. But explain it
Last week in an A330-200 we were hit by lightning on the wing/engine 1, the light inside the cabin and the noise was something, we continued with no evident signs of problems but someone mentioned a black mark on the wing tip and outboard aileron. Scary for a little while, no doubt
Hey stig, what do apprentices do expect washing the planes
Aircraft maintenance Apprentices don’t wash your planes
My motto: routine is good, but troubleshooting is best, especially when it's deep T/S😊
Troubleshooting technicians are the best technicians
Stig, what connections are necessary for the A321 auxiliary cargo fuel tanks? I assume a couple of fuel lines, electricity for the pump, signal line for the fuel sensor and nitrogen for the empty air space. Anything else? (Don't answer if this info is proprietary).
You kind of answered your own question there John 😅
Please share airflow valve complete information
Please be specific
@@StigAviation don't mind.I have problem of claustrophobia little bit.thats why I ask about airflow to clear my mind .
I can't travel in aeroplane easily because of claustrophobia.i see your videos for sending signals my mind that it's normal .it's Ok.if you have any information for helping me please share.
ok - wait a minute. 1:07, that definitely sounded like someone else was onboard with you? :O Was that from a Radio?
Not sure
I was run up/taxi qualified on the 727/767/&757 during my time at AA. I WAS ALSO IN ONE OF THE FIRST 777 GenFam classes at DFW. At that time AA only had 777-200s
Sorry, part of my previous message was not supposed to be alll caps. Noticed it after it posted.
The A350 also has its bulk door on the left side of the aircraft, so definitely could be something to do with the composite design
HGTTG is indeed basically the reference to "Don't panic" signs/stickers/graffities etc out there. Well spotted!
I took my first flight and I love flying!
We routinely flew a 40 year old aircraft. Old girl got us back every time.
Fantastic job! Always look forward to Stig Shift! Never knew that it took so long to examine an airplane after a lightning strike and the amount of inspecting detail that it entails. You're an amazing mechanic and teacher! Well done Stig!
27:15 those are hypercars, they run at the WEC (world endurance championsip) beautiful and really fast cars with hybrid engines
Hi there, I'm new to the world of aviation! Well, I'm limited to a computer with MSFS and a Logitech X52 Pro HOTAS, but the A320N flybywire provides for the game is a beautiful craft and I have spent a lot of time learning all of the controls. Maybe one day I'll learn to fly the real thing. Also, you got another new sub!
love your videos, thank you!
As a person who loves aviation and knows ENG RUS UKR, i found out that the cockpit of AN124 os a copy of C5 Galaxy and the tail was copied from the 747 "Queen". An 225 just extended copy of An124 with 2 more engines
Maybe it's a strange way to start a comment, but who cares? I am 17 yo, gr 11. I'm an immigrant from Ukraine now Im in Canada wanna study aircraft mechanics and to find your channel is the best thing that could happen to me before college bc I'm getting so much information, specific slang with so good explanations and without any slur. So I want to say thank you for your deeds and I was glad to see "our" great machine, unfortunately, one of our dreams already would never be realized, to see an An225 "Mria"
i hope i keep it in my head next time i board a 787 and say 'beautiful plastic princess'
Is this charlotte
LAX
Hay stig white plane it's nice white 747 😅
Am I the only one who thinks the stig sounds like Norm Macdonald?
Milk and orange juice down the galley sink… that’s interesting science
Con means continuous ignition
@@jossefg12 that’s correct 👍 well done
I have a question about turbofan engines, if a airplane comes in with a quick turnaround, does there have to be a time frame to let that engine cool down? Or can they turn around and start it right back up and go? If that makes any sense.
I just recently graduated from school and I’m studying for my written tests. These videos are so cool to watch and very insightful. Thank you for providing us with this
Love the videos dude, I’m from New Zealand and would love to see you plane spot one of our 777’s take off or land please 😀
I watch these videos most of the time late at night before I go to sleep. It helps me relax knowing there are people like you keeping aviation alive
Does aircraft maintenance have any sort of lock out tag out policy? Or do you just pull the breakers and get the work done quick enough?
We do and i did. Just didn’t film it. As I said. I didn’t show every single step of the process
Awesome video thanks
I’m not by LAX I’m more ORD but if there’s an American from LAX I’ll just assume you took care of it
Hey Stig, nice to talk to you again. By the way our kings jet that has the same plane as the Airforce one. It’s a B747-8 . It’s amazing to see the Queen of the skies at my local airport
Got a question for you why is there lights on the back of the airplane showing up to the tail?
Stig, question for you- I have graduated from a part 147 school, completed the general, studying for the airframe. Could you please explain in detail the fire extinguishing colored disks that are visible from outside the fuselage? My school was/is really struggling with material. We missed out on a lot of much needed material.
1957 dual-ghia the highest sale price $685,000 and the last time one sold it was $398,000
Reminds me of the Visible V8. I think it’s still being made
When I was flying RC I built a 5’ wing span trainer on the floor. I used book shelves for the wings. My trainer buddy was shocked how straight & true it flew all trims were centered. Needless to say I was shocked too! Just needed room of course for allowing glue to dry on the spars. They make scale model jet engines now but you wouldn’t want that smell in your apartment.
Stig, are there any form of paper work or practices that airlines have when opening and closing out areas as you did with the light ? Some sort of close out area paper practices for FOD or anything?
awesome videos men!!
Man. I wish when i graduate i will be able to work with people that are willing to teach like you do Stig! So far, reading the comments section gives me alot of hope in this community 😁
My dad worked for American Airlines Freight back in the 70's. Flew on a 747 with the fifth engine. Coolest thing ever he said. Transporting it somewhere. Love your show!
Oh, we do see you. At least some of us like to watch how many ground crew, AMTs surround the plane immediately once it reaches the gate. Last fall had something like an 8 hour delay out of DCA with AA when the 321Neo wasn't playing too well. I supposed it was being fixed at a hangar and then when after 6 hours or so it was finally towed to the gate, it turned out something with the avionics still required attention. Then the boarding started and shortly after - those who were first to board had to be deplaned as the computers were acting up again. Eventually, we boarded the bird and made it to PHX. Every minute I as well as other pax around the gate appreciated what the technicians do in getting our flight airborne. On another occasion, me and my wife walked up to our gate for a long 777-300 hour flight way early, like with 2.5 hrs before boarding or smth. It was late evening I called her up to the window to see the aircraft we would be flying on. There she was - her nose in the darkness with someone in the flightdeck we couldn't make out. It was a busy airport with every other pax going about their stuff and only two of us were staring at the aircraft. This was probably seen from the dark outside and don;t know coincedence or not, when we waved 'Hi' to the aircraft the NLG lights came on! Magic moment ). Thank you guys for all the hard work you do so we can travel.
I spy an Eastern 727 in the background... I worked for Eastern up till 1989, still miss it
