Opened TH-cam with hope of your new video and guess what ❤😊
I hope you enjoyed it, thank you so much for being here.
❤❤😊😅
8:20 for anyone wondering what it does: EGPWS (enhanced ground proximity Warning system) operates in 5 modes total. The mode important here is Mode 4 more specific Mode 4b. EGPWS Mode 4 is "Unsafe terrain clearance when not in the landing configuration" and it issues a warning (caution level) should the aircraft be not fully configured and descend below 245ftRA, whereas 4a is for flaps down and gear up, 4b is gear down but flaps not down and on newer aircraft there is a 4c which is active during takeoff triggers when insufficient terrain clearance and either landing gear up or flaps not down.
Back to topic: Obviously, it wouldn't be very helpful to receive a "too low flaps" warning when you have planned a Flap 3 Landing for the remaining ~250ft constantly. So Landing Flap 3 inhibits this very warning by disabling only EGPWS Mode 4b and only then when the flaps are in position 3, while while keeping Mode 4a active, which is quite important. If the flaps are in position two, one, or up you will still be issued Mode 4b warnings. (This is where Flap Mode comes into play, this one disables Mode 4b for good, so only use that when you cannot extend the flaps for whatever reason!)
Now, some might say "but I selected Flap 3 in the MCDU" That is correct but this is only for performance calculation purposes, such as Vapp, Vls, vref, etc and the configuration check on the Landing Memo. EGPWS is a completely independent system and not connected in any way to the MCDU.
So in fewer words: The Landing Flap 3 button indicates to the EGPWS that the plane isn't in a flap full config on purpose and there's no need to be worried if the flaps are only in config 3 at 245ftRA.
As to the question, what happens if the inbound crew forgets to turn it off after arrival and swapped out for a new outbound crew: Nothing really. The cockpit preparation in an airbus is literally "see any white lights on the overhead? turn them off!" So the new outbound crew wouldn't be able to forget to turn it back off.
1:04:37 time to change the paper :'D
That was incredible. Thank you so much for all this beautiful knowledge. And you have some sharp eyes, you caught the pink stripe on the edge of the ACARS paper roll 😅 👌
Your neighborhood Bus driving colleague here. Just to expand on what you said about feedback on the stick at 21:58 ish, since I know some gamers especially will make some assumptions regarding "force feedback", there's no feedback at all when it comes to flight forces, it just feels like hydraulic damper tension, or a much more heavily damped version of a gaming joystick. Air, ground, fast, slow, doesn't matter. It's always the same feeling. And honestly, it does actually feel very video-gamey, personally I don't mind it and to an extent I prefer it.
It's so much less of a work out from what I came from, which were Embraers (145/175). Those were a real workout in a crosswind, especially in the 145 since the elevators are completely manual and cable operated just like in a freaking Cessna, and the controls are really heavy despite them being small planes, especially the 145 (which is still probably my favorite jet to fly, with the bus close behind). But landing the bus in gusty or crosswind conditions is takes so much less effort. I will say though, I don't like how some guys "churn butter" as they say with the joystick, for those pilots that tend to over-control things, it seems to make it worse for them. I see this a LOT with many Airbus youtube pilot "iNfLuEnCeRs" and as a former check airman it drives me nuts. But I digress.
With the Airbus (and any plane really) less control = more control. Smooth, minute and precise inputs, no need to go to the stops even in the gustiest conditions. I maybe use 25% of the available stick travel on any given flight, you really don't need much more usually, and they get exponentially more firm much further out from that point to discourage over-controlling. A handful of pilots I've flown with (usually old timers coming from Boeings and about to retire) say they don't like how they can't "feel" what the plane is doing. I don't miss it, and planes I've flown that don't have fly by wire, but that have hydraulically boosted controls still feel pretty artificial to me so I think their point is moot. It's also nice to not have a yoke bouncing around in turbulence. Maybe it's because I'm from the Nintendo and Flight Simulator generation, but the Airbus joystick is by far my favorite way to fly a plane.
I love those pilots who adjust the thrust every half second or toss the stick / yoke around in not particularly turbulent conditions.... the intertia of all those components will lead to exactly 0 change in attitude, roll and thrust output :'D
@@boahneelassmal Or the guys that treat the throttle like an on/off button. Saw that a lot too at the regionals (not autothrottles).
As always with the fantastic knowledge drop, you are phenomenal. Thank you so much for the detailed information and perspective from a professional pilot point of view.
@@StigAviation no, thank YOU for keeping us safe. I haven't swung by LAX in forever but I'll be sure to say hi if I do
Stig I saw the Lufthansa 747 hard landing at LAX airport last week. The episode was captured in many videos. What inspections and checks would maintenance do in these situations? I think it could be an idea for a future video. It could be an opportunity to show us how maintenance keeps people safe in the sky and how mechanics get angry when pilots bring them a broken aircraft😂.
You are a special person. You deserve a big thanks, big like an a380, becouse you answer to ALL our comments. You have never missed one. Thank you stig.
You’re a nerd just like me when it comes to airliners. Love it Stig, keep it coming so I can learn more.
Thank you so much my friend 🤙✈️🫡🔧
Ooh, a rare Thursday upload!
Hey, I think the people watching love aviation and all want your job, so a little redundant information is no problem for us! We just want to tag along and look at all the cool aviation tech. Every bird is beautiful and each one is different from each other. We want to see it all!
I am so happy that you’re enjoying it and I’m glad I can show you these beautiful machines.
Stig your pretty spot on with the reasoning of Flaps 3 vs full. At my company now we almost always use flaps full unless there's an potential for wind shear. Having flaps 3 allows us to carry more energy into the landing in case we needed it for the wind shear escape maneuver. Keep the content coming man! I learn so much about my fleet from watching your videos, we pilots dont get to see many of the things you show on here! Thanks!
Thank you so much, I hope I did OK on the explanation, there are other people within the comment section that explained it very thoroughly as well
I love the amazing airplane mechanic and stig shift @stig aviation keep up the great content and amazing work rock on man
This guy is doing more for American Airlines and Boeing than anybody.
Thank you so much, I appreciate you being here and coming along on these adventures with me.
@@StigAviationhow are you sir?
@@StigAviationcan you please guide me about an aircraft mechanic?
@@StigAviationI have mentioned you earlier and I have completed an Aerospace engineering course from pia training centre completed 2021 December
Stig don’t worry about the rerun factor. It helps us amateur maintenance fans ride with you.
I’m glad you enjoy it. Thank you
Bellevideohenri😊😊😊
The best part of the week with the latest Stig adventures. No apologies needed for repeating yourself! I could listen all day. Cheers
Thank you so much, I appreciate you being here.
Wow Stig, thank you. Your videos are just getting better and better, mesmerising, in fact. So informative and detailed. Please, please, please don't ever stop making these brilliant, captivating videos 🙏🏻. I'm not being hyperbolic, and I'm sure I can speak for many people when I say you really are the best aviation channel on TH-cam.
Thank you so much for your kind and beautiful words Kev. I appreciate you.
We truly appreciate you to good sir 🖖
Perfect timing!! Yay! A new Stig Shift!! Woohoo!!
🤙🤙🤙
I heard a story about one of the classic 737s, I believe it was the 200 series. For some reason, the aircraft was ridiculously underpowered. The -100s had the JT8D-7 engines which put out about 14,000 lbs of thrust. Not nearly enough. The -200 was a little better using the -9 which put out an additional 1000 lbs on top of that but they were still a bit of a pig. On short field takeoffs, pilots became intimately familiar with a technique known as bleeds off takeoff. What this did was it kept the bleed air that was used for air conditioning and pressurization in the engines to be used as thrust. So, the APU had to remain running through rotation which required some complex adjustmens to the bleed systems on both the engines and the APU to avoid causing damage. This was especially prevalent during hot weather and short runways. The downside was if pilots forgot to readjust the bleeds to normal after takeoff, they'd get a rubble jungle in the back! Whoops
MAX is the same on shorter fields. Having the APU power the AC and all engine air towards thrust.
That is very interesting, I’m gonna have to look this up. I want to read about this too.
STIG your channel is growing. Almost 70k subscribers. Before you know it you'll have 100k. We love you stig, a true guardian angel of aviation
Thank you so much my friend. I appreciate you and all here with all my heart.
Thanks you for this weeks Stig Adventure. Your knowledge and ability to articulate it so well each week is impressive. I like the music as it is so mesmerizing like ASMR.
Glad you enjoy it Terry
As a lifelong aviation enthusiast I really enjoy your insights and perspective. Thank you for making these videos!
My pleasure Roger. Thank you for being here.
Stig, I was an appliance technician for 38 years. I went from a totally mechanical guy to an electronics technicians at the end of my career when I retired. You’re obviously an old school-electronically savvy guy now. I totally enjoy your videos because you are a step by step guy like me. Keep wrenching and producing videos. Outstanding.👊🏼
Repeat away Stig, redundancy is the backbone of Air Safety is it not? Mb.
You are 100% right on that. Thank you for the encouragement 🤙
Always waiting for your videos to drop
I appreciate that Jose.
Well, it's 3.50 am here and I was just on my way to bed. Now I'm most definitely not!!
Get some sleep Kev, the video will be here for you tomorrow 😅
I absolutely stayed up and watched every last second of with my eyes wide open!! I didn't need to get up at anytime the following morning. My far superior other half went out for the say with her mum and the cat had me pinned to the sofa too. Not that I'd ever need anymore reason to watch your videos 😊
Aviation and Engineering from a different perspective. I love this Channel❤ Thank You, Stig 👏
I am very happy you’re enjoying it, it’s a pleasure to have you here
Great video quality
Glad you enjoyed it
Stig, you never have to feel bad about being redundant, redundancy is what keeps planes in the air, and we all need a little refresher. At the end of the day, I love listening to you, being educated by you, and being shown all these marvelous things by you. I also feel that this episode was especially special, because you shown us a few new things, and did some unique things as well. Hanging out with you is the highlight of my week, thank you from the bottom of my heart, for being so amazing, never forget the magic that is you. ♥
Thank you so much. I’m grateful to have you here
Stig! Thanks a lot for your videos.
I'm 4th year student in university in Russia, studying aircraft maintenance
We don't have much practice and the lectures are pretty outdated, but your videos really help to see what it's all really about! I'm huge fun of you!
I have already worked on An-2 and L-410 during my practices, and this year I'll work on a320 family in Ural Airlines, your videos really help
Just honestly appreciate your work, man
Thank you so much for being here and I am wishing you all the best in your career. Don’t hesitate to ask questions, I’m here to help.
@@StigAviation
Of course, thanks
One of cool things in my university is the ability to see Soviet aircraft. I once saw Mill-26 helicopter and It's just a flying building. Once it stood next to Embraer E-175, and the helicopter was bigger. Bigger than regional jet plane. It's just insane.
And once I worked on aircraft which was 48 years old and it's all just fine
Aviation is truly a miracle made by human mind
Another great Stig class.
Glad you enjoyed it
Stig, you pass so much information for everyone. I think it's better that you do repeat yourself in your videos. I appreciate it and I'm sure others do also. Thanks for helping everyone stay safe.
I appreciate that James. Thank as always for the kind words.
I looked into the Air Helios flight 522 disaster a couple years ago. That one flight attendant was a true hero.
Absolutely. That flight attendant was indeed an incredible person.
I actually find the refreshers great, aircraft are all very complex and it's hard for a layperson to remember everything. Keep up the good work, man.
I feel the same way, even though I remember most things it’s always good to refresh yourself with the information, sometimes even new information comes out of it.
That story behind the Helios Airways flight sends a chill up my spine every time i read or hear about it. It's almost harrowing how that plane flew itself for several hours until it finally ran out of fuel.
That flight attendant saved so many lives on the ground.
That British Airways 777 in the beginning has a wonderful livery. So great to have another video to enjoy...
Glad you enjoyed it
love your videos, thank you for sharing...
Thanks for watching Paul 🤙
You the best stig 👍
I appreciate you.
Do different manufacturers engines use different spec oils or is one enough? Tell us more!
It depends on the carrier, for example, all of our engines use the same oil. We do that for standardization so we do not create a potential cross-contamination.
Thanks Stig, you are doing great work... I'm really enjoying it. I feel we are there with you. Such as an adventurous job..
Many thanks for being here.
Nice Video especially where you explained the feed back of the side and the yoke
Thank you very much. I’m glad you enjoyed it
Stig, you have made me get into aviation again and I am currently saving up for my pilot training. Thank you!
That sounds fantastic, I am wishing you all the best in your future career 🫡✈️
Hey Stig, thanks so much for your informative videos. I am just starting my journey to become a pilot, and your videos really help me understand more about the planes and their components. Thank you so much for inspiring me to work in the aviation field!
I’m wishing you all the best and all the success in your career, and I am very happy that I can help Bruno. Cheers
29:00 iirc, the same pilot that crashed Crossair 3597 was training a F/O in, i believe, a Saab 340. He told the F/O, "if you pull the gear up on the ground it wont go up" and he got the F/O to pull the lever up. The gear, did in fact, go up. The Saab was written off.
Definitely not a good idea to put the gear handle up, especially if the aircraft is running and alive
Awesome push back video and explanation. 👏👏👏
Glad you liked it Kevin 🤙
Stig, you’re spot on with description of Flap 3 usage of the airbus 👍
Thank you so much, actually there are a couple of incredible people that even added to the topic. Check them out in the comments they put in so much more detail than I did. It was incredible.
Love your chilled out nature Stig(with your calming music ). Your humour and of course insights great fun. Always look forward to your videos.
Thank you for being here. I appreciate you
Thanx for allowing us to fly with you. PS-the more technical you get the better!! For me anyway.
I appreciate that!
Love your work sir. Amazing content!
Much appreciated!
Thank you for taking us kids through the candy store. :)
Any time! Thank you for being here and enjoying.
Oh, Stig! I’ve learned a new meaning for WOW! Wowweeee, that was cool. Learned a few new things, proving that old dogs can learn new tricks. Thank you, so very much. Take care and be safe.
It’s my absolute pleasure, thank you for watching Joanie.
I recently found your channel, and I love seeing this point of view on aircraft maintenance. I'm currently in college, getting my A&P license, and this helps me see how line maintenance operates. Thank you for all the wonderful explanations and tips. It also helps me learn new things I never knew about aircraft.
It is my absolute pleasure and I am very happy that I can be of service. Wishing you all the best in your career.
been into avions for decades, your video production quality on visuals, audio and commentary is second to none!!! I have learnt so much more than ever before and it's all because of you and this video. THANK YOU. I am now, you fan and subscriber :)
Thank you so much Raul. I’m very happy you are enjoying it all
Thanx again for sharing. It’s been fun
Thank you for watching Jeff
Heck yeah, i love learning from your videos! if you can keep posting!
Will do 🤙
Great video content as always. I love the amount of care you take into maintaining every airplane and taking the time to explain things to us no matter how small or mundane. Have you ever thought of putting together a video of a “sights & sounds”? Meaning a video that just has the airport sounds and visuals as airplanes roll in or go by or as you guys are working on them? It makes it feel like we are there with the sights and sounds of the tarmac.
That’s a fantastic idea, kind of like ASMR but airport edition. I’ll try to put something together like that.
Camber and chord. Slats and flaps increase camber and chord, which increases lift and drag, which is necessary to lower stall speed upon approach. The 727 is an excellent example. Triple slotted flaps and leading edge slats.
That is a very perfect example, especially on the 727 👍
I love your channel so much. Im a huge av geek and your channel delivers
Thanks so much Mike 🤙
@@StigAviation thanks for the reply! Your job is the coolest job ever btw
Yes, another Stig Shift! I am wondering, clear air turbulence is becoming increasingly common and getting bumpier these days. I'm curious if the aviation industry is readying itself for these turbulent times. Awesome videos, Stig! Keep up the excellent work!
I wouldn’t be worried about turbulence, aircraft are designed to withstand even the worst turbulence. Lately the weather is also been pretty harsh, hopefully summertime will improve.
Stig love the videos I can't get enough of the technical info keep up the fantastic work 🛩
Much appreciated Nick 🤙
Absolutely Love the channel!!!!! Thank You for taking the time to make these videos!!!!!
Thank you for taking time and watching. Much appreciated
I love your videos man! Came across it randomly and I’m glad I did. I’m a little nervous since I have a long flight in a 737 MAX soon, and the news has me a little paranoid. But if we have people like you who are knowledgeable and diligent then I trust the aircraft.
It’s a pleasure to have you here, I am glad you’re enjoying the videos, and I hope you have a beautiful flight.
Great video as always ..keep enlightening with your aviation knowledge
Thank you 🙏
Well hey Stig! Opened TH-cam this Friday night here, and this was just the cherry on top for a great evening! Thank you, keep them coming and I’ll keep learning😉❤
Thank you so much, I appreciate you being here
Love your videos, Stig.
Thank you kindly
Im an aviation geek. Love your vids...you can repeat yourself all you want.😁🤣✈✈✈
Thank you Mike 👍
Loved watching the pushback! Nice work by the driver!
Glad you enjoyed it!
AWESOME TECH STUFF!
Thanks! 👍
Wow now in glory 60fps! It looks a lot better now, thank you Stig, you are the best :)
Thanks to your suggestion, I hope you enjoy the improvement 👍
@@StigAviation It looks a lot better! Even someone else mentioned it in the comments! Thank you :)
Felt so familiar seeing that SAS RSE A350.
I was so lucky to be jumpseating both start and landing from Copenhagen to Tokyo last year. Had no idea as my boss had setup the surprise with his friend who happened to be flying that day.
The best thing ive ever experienced.
That’s absolutely amazing. You got to experience the 350. Bravo 🙌
such great videos! your job is fascinating. thank you for keeping the aircraft we fly in ship-shape and for sharing these great videos, as always :)
My pleasure! Thank you for watching
Keep talking, we're listening, don't worry about repeating your self, still found it very interesting 👍.
Thank you very much. Glad you enjoyed it
thanks for your videos. i work for the same company different city. I am constantly learning new stuff by watching your videos.
It’s a pleasure to have you here, thank you so much for all your hard work and I’m glad I can help in anyway I can.
Another fantastic Stig Shift!
This is definitely the highlight of my week by far.
Love the explanations - even the repeated ones!
Also nice to see the lighter mornings and blue skies 😎
Glad you enjoyed it!
I like the way you regularly give the throttles a whack. Love your enthusiasm too👍
It’s an old habit, from the old days to make sure the throttle is an idle . Thank you for watching.
I love this channel with all my heart, keep it up my man
I appreciate that Danial. Thank you for being here.
I watch your videos from Bolivia. I work as AMT in te Avro RJ-85, but it's amazing to know about many airplanes that you work!! Incredible videos, go ahead!!! 💪🏻⚙️✈️
Thank you very much for being here. I appreciate you. Cheers from LAX
Stig every airline has 737. Anytime you are working on them, please don't leave out details. As you just did here in this awesome video. Much obliged!
I will try my best to give you as much detail as I can my friend. Thank you for watching.
Love your content
Thank you William
About to fly on a British airways triple 7 today 👍🏻
Have a beautiful flight Ross 🤙
@@StigAviation nice one stig 👍🏻 when I landed at JFK a truck pulled up with cans of oil for the engines and it reminded me of you 😂
Anothe great video Stig. Not sure if you noticed but as the nose of the British Airways A380 came into view I spotted not one but two Air New Zealand 777's and at the end of your video as the 787 taxied in there was a plane flying overhead with a vapour trail behind it.
I just noticed that when you pointed it out. Thank you
another week another great video
Glad you enjoyed it
Stig! Love the video man, coming from corporate MX seeing big planes like this is always cool to watch.
Thank you so much, and I wish you all the best in your career as well. One thing I’ve never done is worked on corporate jets. They always fascinate me.
Thanks for showing the video on how the window shades work on the 787
My pleasure 🤙
You are the best dude, i wish to had a job and type of work like you do i have a bachelor in MIS, but my mentality are locked about airline jobs. All the best to you and keep it up 👍 🙏🥳
Thank you so much and I wish you all the best in your career.
Good work Stig.....always learn from your video.....a must watch.....Thank You!!!......Old A&P
Glad you enjoyed it Allan
The intro with that 777 was epic :)
You kinda get the scale of that beast.
Massive aircraft
Stig! Never apologize for repeating information brother! Your video's are some of the best out there purely because of your wealth of knowledge and the fantastic way you explain everything! Keep it up man 🤟
I appreciate that!
@StigAviation Man your videos are great! even though i have the ecsact same job but on another continent(i work at AMS). I still love watching your videos when they come out, and its also really interesting to see the differences in the way another airlines handles theyre maintenance even though i work line aswell!
Thank you for being here my friend. Even though we are in different parts of the world, I still consider you a colleague because we do the same job. We keep aircraft safe.
Glad to be back! keep it up
Many thanks 🤙
thanks A&P , lov to listen you saying something again and again coz its necessary not to forget a real things , plz keep repeating things for us, i love to here some thing my old scool boss always told us on Ramp, seams like we all A&P have same language even if we all are working 10000 miles aways , thanks again for sharing ur job
Glad I could help
This is always a weekly treat!
Thank you James 👍
We deserved this video to end the busy work week 😊 them 777s are huge!
Hope you enjoyed it Alex. 🤙
The camera you use is super clear mate. Fantastic video again.
Thank you very much. The camera is simply my iPhone 👍
As a some one in A&P school I really love watching your videos and see what I learn in the real world, keep it up!
I’m glad all this is helping. Keep up the good studies and don’t hesitate to ask questions
Firstly i love your video's. Out of interest, does oil still get pumped to the bearings when the fan is free spinning in the wind?
There’s residual oil still within the bearings
Looks like I’m not going to bed early now. Lol
😅 looks like you’re not the only one, it seems like I’m keeping everybody up.
Thanks Stig. That was epic I learned a lot👍
Glad you enjoyed it
hey stig, im a huge aviation enthusiast and i love the ptu(barking dog) on the older airbus, its funny when im on one and the passengers that dont know about it always say poor dog or where is the dog lol. blue skies stig!!!
It’s funny sometimes sometimes to see peoples reaction when the PTU sounds off 😅
The knowledge on here is beautiful, what a fabulous following you have on here stig. Oh, I have serious tool belt envy 😂👍
Thank you so much, and the name of the toolbelt is tough built, small electricians pouch.
Hello Stig. I am a new subscriber to your channel, after seeimg just two videos. I may sound little melancholic now, but I am happy for you and your job, because that's what I've always wanted to do for a living, but never did. I am enjoying every minute of your videos, your narration, your positive mood. Thank You for that! Your videos are like a treat for me👏🏻
Regards,
Marcel from Slovakia.
Thank you so much Marcel. It’s a pleasure to have you here, and I’m very happy that you’re enjoying these videos and the adventures.
@@StigAviation My pleasure, sir💪🏻 I love the airplanes since my childhood and You are showing us really very interresting things, so whenever I start any of your videos, here is quiet, I have my coffe in my hand, foot on the table... I appreciate that you are filming this content for us and even find fhe time to reply! That is very cool.
Let me wish You nice rest of the week and pretty weekend🤟🏻
11:00 dude as we always know in aviation, redundancy is key, love all the info and repeating it is honestly better especially for remembering
I’m glad I can help, sometimes it even helps me remember more things and learn new things.
Glad i found your channel 💙
Pleasure to have you here.
1:05:00 The Dark Knight.....

and his weapons (toolkit).......
Excellent shot!
For … Aviation 🤙
Dunno if you can answer this or not, but why don't some newer engines like the GEnx on the 787 and 747-8 sometimes not have the white spiral on the spinner? I've even seen some AAL 787s like this, so maybe you could help me out here
I have also noticed that, my assumption would be just discoloration or worn out paint from the spinner
I love these vids!
Thank you 🙏
Woohoo, new video. Thank you !
My pleasure. Thank you for watching
