@StigAviation have you ever done an external walk-around video where you tell us in detail what you are inspecting/ looking for? Curious aviation minds want to know!
Ok so the BUSS, Back Up Speed Scale. First fitted to the A380 and was eventually provided as a retrofit to the A320/A330 family. In the event of a situation where the pilots cannot determine which airspeed indicator is giving reliable information (such as frozen pitot tubes) or you have some kind of multiple ADR failure you can activate the BUSS below FL250 and it will provide, as you said, GPS altitude to replace barometric altitude, and instead of the airspeed indicator it will give a coloured band with green in the middle, yellow on either side of that and red either side of that. This uses the AOA sensors to determine if you are flying in a safe zone, as in not flying too slow or too fast. You are basically flying on AOA and all you have to do is “fly the green”. When it was first fitted it was activated by turning off all 3x ADR (the buttons below the ADIRU rotary switches). Once activated it shows on both PFD’s and cannot be deactivated even if you turn all the ADR’s on again. Later models Airbus installed the BKUP SPD/ALT button you showed. This does the exact same thing except it is reversible and independent to that PFD. The idea being you can activate it on both sides then after a period of time one side could turn it off and cross check against the standby instrument to see if reliable airspeed or altitude has returned. Now, here is the interesting part. The label next to the switch says speed monitoring function. This is an even newer version that was first fitted to the A350 and is called DBUS or Digital Backuo Speed. Instead of the coloured band you now get what looks like an airspeed indicator but with the last digit crossed out to denote it’s an approximation (I think it’s accurate to 15-20 knots of the actual IAS). This uses AOA, weight and G Load to calculate an approximate airspeed and is actually used to compare against the 3x ADR speeds. Previously Airbus computer logic worked off the 2 vs 1 rule. If 2 are the same but 1 is different then that value was rejected permanently the remainder of the flight. Now though the speeds are constantly compared to the computed backup speed so if for example 2x ADR’s deviated away from the computed speed but 1 stayed, the 2 that deviated would be rejected by the computers but only whilst the value sits outside of the limit. If they return to the same as backup speed they will be accepted again. The ECAM will warn the pilots if any of the ADR’s are giving unreliable readings and on the status display shows the status of each ADR if any flag up as unreliable. The 787 also has its own version of backup speed via a switch which also uses GPS altitude and AOA plus other data to determine a backup speed. As a bonus the A350 has 5x speeds. 3x ADR speeds, ISIS speed (it has its own pitot tube and static port) which can display on the PFD, and BKUP SPD which uses the DBUS mentioned above and does all the switching automatically. On the A320/A330 it is just the 4x speeds and backup has to be selected manually to display. I don't know if the A380 has the option for DBUS, not seen one with it fitted yet.
Mr. Tom with the epic knowledge drop. You and another Pilot explained exactly the same way and you guys did a perfect job. Thank you so much for this incredible information. I appreciate you sir.
@@StigAviation thank you. That was the first time I'd seen the Speed Monitoring Function label as well, if you hadn't shown that I wouldn't have explained that bit. That was probably one of the newer aircraft.
Jet aircraft are the peak of human ingenuity and genius to me. It blows my mind that humans went from creating a prototype made of wood and fabric to jet liners that could transport people around the world in hours within one lifetime.
I was flying out of LAX 2 weeks ago, and had to taxi out out of the SWA gates all the way 25R. When we taxied past all the American planes, I kept thinking "I wonder if I'll see stig?" lol. ✌
I haven't flown since 1998, nor will I ever board a commercial aircraft again..However.....you sir have done wonders to restore my faith in aviation with your vigilance, dedication and commitment to safety. For this, the industry owes you many accolades. If, for some reason, I am forced to fly, I want it to be on an aircraft that you have deemed safe. TY for this content.
I can’t begin to describe how your words made me feel. Just know I’m smiling while I read this and write this. Thank you so much for such kindness and beautiful words. I truly appreciate you. And if you ever do choose to fly one day , I know you’ll have a beautiful experience. Thank you 🙏
I can always count on you to make me smile! Sig, I have OCD, its in my nature to notice the minute details. I too love the pretty purple color of Skydrol, glad you put the don't get any on you PSA though. I never get tired of you teaching flight controls, your video's are the highlight of my day, bringing sunshine to my heart. Seeing that plane come out of the clouds was amazing. I bet if you asked pilots, they always say, "oh thank God" when coming out of the clouds, seeing them lined up to the runway for a butta smooth landing lol. I love the cowboy mechanic too, he's getting it woohoo! Your welcome, and we love ya Stig, thank you!
Thanks you for spot a French bee, I have trouble speaking English but very well you speak French. Good evening to you ( bonne soirée et oui, très belle atterrissage de french bee)
Thank you for another adventure, Stig and sharing your day/night with us and your philosophical inputs. Must be an interesting feeling being in an aircraft at night when no lighting on.
I absolutely love that American not only carries on its own classic liveries, but it carries on ones from airlines that it's bought out over the years. It's really cool to see some of these classic painted modern birds
Thanks for the video, man. But first and foremost for showing yourself as a humble and empathetic human been. All the support of this world for the people in Florida 💪🏾💪🏾
It's so nice to hear a man that clearly loves what he does, and amazing knowledge of what he does..love watchingyour video, keep them coming...Next time I'm on MSFS2020 and flying the a320 and 737, will think of all the things going on.😊.
Had to send another 57 to the scrappers today Stig 😢 N538US. Even had to manually start it to send her off made it feel even worse. Also, I cannot agree more about the "knowing everything" segment at the end of the video. I used to stress out about not knowing every little detail when I left the Engine shop and transitioned to Line Operational shifts. At some point I realized that the next revolutionary breakthrough in our industry could happen tomorrow and rewrite everything. At that point was able to relax and embrace what we do, Its not about knowing everything, its about knowing where to go to find the information you need (atleast thats how I view it lol...) Stay safe out there My Brother! 🤙
2:00 Yup. Every year we in the Caribbean are always looking Eastward. In fact where I am (Tobago) just barely escaped the eye of Beryl right before it ran through Carriacou island. Frightening thing to be in. I was fearful for some of my family in Orlando and Melbourne, but they're thankfully ok.
Hi Stig, every time you show us the wheel,well it blows my mind. The complexity is incredible, never get tired of learning about these beautiful machines 👍
I absolutely love the diagrams and other things like the Airbus Laws you showed us a few vids back. It's so cool seeing what's actually happening. Like the 737 flap transmission and torque tubes etc etc, it's so cool watching it!!
Great, glad folk like your good self are looking after the aircraft that take us all over the globe, I really do think that aviation has brought everyone together (long before the Internet) and is a force for good in this ball of rock (and wonder😊) we call home, all the best from sunny Troon Scotland ❤
Stig, I'm so jealous of those amazing aircraft you work with, I'm a pilot trained out of Midway airport in Chicago, have not flown in ten years, now flying out of grass field, only one more certification to fly again as pilot in command, I'm 62, met owner of field and made deal i will go in two hours early to help out with maintenance of field and equipment and infrastructure, wish me luck in my old age, like my Dad said to me, I'm a young boy trapped in an old man's body!
Good friends, especially those you make during work, or difficult times, are the strongest bonds. I miss the bonds of friendship I made in the military and I'm sure its similar to the friendships you make in the aviation industry. Hold those people close and nurture those bonds for time is fleating and before you know it, it's gone.
Ran across your channel and immediately got hooked . First and foremost , thank you for all you do to keep people safe in the air and keep those planes flying. As a parts coordinator for a FedEx maintenance hub , I find it fascinating the millions of pieces parts that make up an aircraft. Thanks for all you do !!
I watch you every Friday night. I just subscribed on here with my work pc, but I have been watching you on my home account for a while. I wish their were more people like you in this world, you really care about people and doing the best job that you can. I will say that you do come across very sincere and honest. Your company should be very happy to have you and you make them look good.
Last week I stood for the first time (of many to come) in front of a GE90. incredible. The startup sound from close gives me chills. Love working in aviation.
Really enjoy your channel. My career before i retired was in electronic technology. My uncle was a mechanic for northwest at MSP. I always looked up to him and loved his stories. You remind me a lot of him....
Seeing the marine layer reminded me of the freezing fog at ORD when I used to fly in from LHR 40 years ago. When I started at AT&T my American colleagues told me to bring gloves but being from the UK I couldn't understand why. Then one day I grabbed an exit door handle and my hand stuck to it! It never got that cold in the UK.....
Wishing everybody in Florida, and heck, the South US as a whole to stay safe. British weather might be rubbish, but it doesn't hold a candle to what you guys go through. Wish you all well. 🙏 I'd like to see that Bird Strike video here, if TH-cam will allow it. (They can be a bit finicky with graphic stuff, even if it's educational which is pretty silly.) I actually saw a video recently of someone filming an Aer Lingus A330 taking off, and they encountered a bird strike and had to return. Gnarly watch, but everything was handled very well, passengers didn't panic, the flight crew flew the plane and made announcements, the cabin crew made sure everybody was strapped in. Plane landed safely. Would love to see the maintenance side of something like that. Much like your lightning strike you encountered a while back, I loved the process of what you guys do, really comforting to know how thorough your work is. Makes us nervous flyers feel much more at ease. Great shift as always, Stig! Getting close to that 100k! 🤞😄
Très bien ! Magnifique ! A nother mood with the smog in LA. Thank you for sharing your knowlegde. Who learns not to age.. Encore une excellente vidéo Monsieur Stig
Hi Stig, the first aircraft shown was that retro American Airbus, i happen to be watching a live stream from LAX from a guy you know, "Mr Groucho" and seen that arrive. Nice video as always Stig, and we never get tired in listening to you explaining to us about your work, im a aircraft enthusiast since the age of 12, im now 63, the knowledge is never ending there is still loads i don't know about. Have a good week.
Just found you channel & subbed 1 min in, loving your videos. I wish I had gone in to airplane maintenance or working at a Airport but love seeing how things work behind the scenes.
Sarasota Florida here, took a direct hit, no power and lost most of our neighborhood. Thank you stig for bringing me joy with these videos, I love learning about the airplanes you work on and your videos help bring back some normality and some mental comfort. Thanks brother ❤️
I’m not a massive 737 fan but I must say the 737Max-8 is something else. The winglets, the engine and the cockpit with the big screens it quit nice also the reworked apu tail and slightly enhanced aerodynamics make the please pretty beautiful. But in still an Airbus fan boy hehehehe simply cause it’s more friendly to everyone. Even you guys like the way Airbus tell you the important information :). Love you stig I learn so much from these.
Stig, your videos are inspiring! I am studying at the moment but I realized it's just not what I want, so I started looking and found this amazing universe of working on birds. So, as of end of September I applied for a spot in the Luftwaffe to become an AMT. Your videos assure me more and more, that this is what I wanna do. May god bless ya buddy and keep up the amazing work!
Hey there Stig! That Airbus with a special livery, has a VistaJet logo. VJ is corporate jet company which makes me believe that that aircraft was an Airbus Corporate Jet (ACJ) at one time.
Unrelated to this episode but please Stig, ...Relate again to younger folks interested in Aviation how easy it is to get a ramp agent job and be very up close and personal with the same aircraft you are around. I hired on too late with United at age 67 and my knees and the cargo pits were my downfall. ( I knew it was a long shot for my age but it was something I always wanted to be around) I so wish I had tried to hire on 20 or 30 years earlier ! I use the 'Indeed' job search site and still get daily job offers for ramp agents. Plenty of jobs on the ramp are out there... THANKS STIG, Love your channel !
Aaaannnnddd Stig never disappoints!!😂 Wow DLC, that’s a term I haven’t heard in a long time. Ever heard of the F-14 Tomcat being nicknamed the Turkey? I may be corrected on this but in part due to F-14As problem child, the Pratt & Whitney TF-30 engines causing compressor stalls on approach to the carrier due to continuous power changes, DLC was introduced on the Tomcat in the 1970s to help reduce reliance on engine power to make glide slope corrections. The system has been around a long time but because the LSOs (Landing Signal Officers) would see the wing spoilers and Elevons (or Tailerons) going bananas on approach, the F-14 became known as the flying Turkey. Fun fact!
Prior to, or in addition to, DLC, F-14 pilots would sometimes quickly wiggle the stick left and right a couple of times, causing the spoilers to alternately come up and back down on each wing to drop the plane down onto the meatball. My understanding is that DLC originated on the Lockheed L-1011; on approach it would be armed and the spoilers would float up to 7°, after which the autopilot could adjust them from 0 - 14° to maintain the glideslope, or alternately the pilot could control them manually with a thumbwheel on the yoke.
@@Pupda I’m not surprised the SR-71 would need something like a DLC system due to having no conventional elevator controls. A very old system but no doubt the system on the B737 MAX as in Stigs video may be more complex.
Hello dear friend: I enjoyed a lot today's video and the "🎵🎶🎵" from the 777 turbines. I strongly believe that no one ( at least in TH-cam) has an aviation oriented chanel that covers in deep all the details that you constantly explain to us technicians and amateurs. Definitely you are the Joe Patroni of the XXI Century 😊😊. Have a nice weekend.
@@StigAviation my pleasure. People like you, really dedicated to do their job with such love and care, deserve "the entire treatment" ; said Arthur's choffeur in the movie .
Sting I’m on a cruise ship we just tied up in Guatemala. There is nobody here. It’s crazy. Heading thru the canal in a day or 2. Then home on a AK Max FLL to Portland. Seat 26A. Keep up the great work. You’d love all the systems on these floating cities. Have a great week.
WOOOOHOOOOOO was about to go to sleep and be well slept for my 11 hour work day tomorrow, BUT, a Stig shift on Thursday night means no sleep until its over!!! Stig shift for the win!!! Thank you buddy!!!!!!!
Hi Stig! I've been watching your videos for some time now and just wanted to tell you how much I look forward to each weeks "adventure". There is not video that I haven't enjoyed. Having flown to many places around the world, I love learning about airplanes and your videos are incredibly informative...even if I don't always fully understand what you are talking about. LOL Thankfully you have built a great library to refer back to. Keep up the great work on your job and sharing what you do. BTW...It would be awesome if you were somehow able to take one of those awesome cars out for a quick rip. Legally of course! Be well and stay safe!!
Thank you so much John. It’s a pleasure to have you here and enjoy this adventure. And if you do have questions on the things you see, don’t hesitate to ask my friend
Great video as usual Stig, love the start up of the GE 90 best sound in the world so thank you for that. Id love to photograph the PSA A321 i love that livery pity i cant get over from the UK to photograph it just yet but thanks for showing it Stig. Stay safe my friend and keep the aviation flame burning
so many cool bits in this video that the general public may rarely see, but you experience on the daily (removed lower 737 max winglet, liveries, BUSS, etc.). enjoyed the upload!
oh shoot just realized you're almost at 100k subs! congrats on getting this far, and here's to many more! thanks for all the great content, Stig! you're one of the few channels I have notifications on for!
thanks stig . iwe actually got hit by helene here in georgia but it hit us head on so not to bad. my mom however is in the path of this new storm . but hopefully everyone will be safe . but thanks again for taking time to talk and give your thoughts and prayers for those affected.
I am also an AMT with delta three years experience and i found your videos very enjoyable. Please keep them coming. Many people will benefit from these videos for decades. I promise you on that
Hi Stig, best wishes from Stuttgart/Germany from an old aircraft enthusiast. Despite my advanced age, I still look at every aircraft because I have always been fascinated by them and still am. I regret more and more that I was pretty lazy at school so that I was never able to work on the aircraft I loved or even fly them. Such a shame. And thank you very much for sharing your Stig Shift with us. One of the best, if not THE best channel on TH-cam. Just one or two quick questions: are you not allowed to show your face and hopefully your shift will stay with us for a long time. Stay healthy and nothing bad happens to you. And please forgive me if the translation didn't work out well lol
Thank you so much for being here and thank you so much for enjoying these adventures with me. And to answer your question, yes, I am allowed to show my face. I just choose not to because I don’t want to distract from the airplanes and the beautiful Aviation.
Noticed the single engined taxi at 5:07 . Raised a few small questions. 1) how much slower does the pilot need to taxi / is he or she taxiing slower due to the power coming only from one side? 2) what are the various ways you can tell an engine has been resting for a while Love you stig have a great weekend ❤
The pilot will taxi at normal speeds with one engine or both engines. It’s just amount of thrust they can apply to the engine. In reality, it’s all about momentum. Various ways to tell if an engine has been resting for a while, the most obvious is how hot the engine is, and the oil levels.
The floor heating system is only on the A321s; supposedly all the 321s have the floor strips at the 2 and 3 doors (the doors just ahead of and behind the wing) except the NEOs which don’t have a 2 door to heat. The 321Ts (the transcontinental planes) and the NEOs also have the heated general floor area in the forward boarding/galley area as well. For whatever reason, there is no heating on the 4 doors (aft galley) which flight attendants universally believe is the coldest part of every plane ever made... (When I was a newbie FO we got a call from the cabin; our purser called to tell us that the heated floor wasn’t working; I just looked at the captain like he had put the flight attendants up to this to mess with the new guy, but as it turned out, we really did have a heated floor, and it really wasn’t working.) And because Stig asked… BUSS - the BackUp Speed Scale is primarily - as the name says - a backup in case we lose the airspeed indications, although as Stig mentioned the barometric altitude is also replaced by GPS altitude when BUSS is in use. While altitude is always important, airspeed is, in the moment, more critical as we don’t want to either stall or overspeed the aircraft, or both; think of Air France 447… On the BUSS system the airspeed scale on the left side of the PFD is replaced by an angle of attack scale (the A320 family aircraft all have three AOA vanes), with a green center band for “good” or, for Navy types, “on speed” AOA; above and below that band, red and yellow bands; and outside those areas solid red “no fly” zones. On our newest NEOs the BUSS AOA display has been replaced by DBUS - Digital BackUp Speed - which converts the AOA information into an equivalent airspeed presented on the normal airspeed scale, but with a “BKUP SPD” flag on the speed scale, and all the last digits on the speed and altitude scales crossed out by double amber bars to remind us that we’re actually flying on the DBUS system and not real airspeed. We end up with four types of airplanes: our oldest airplanes have no backup system of any sort and, if they get into this situation, have to fly using a painful set of tables based on specific aircraft type, engine, weight, configuration, altitude, phase of flight, etc, The next group are BUSS planes without the button (these are non-NEOs); the BUSS is forced on by turning off the three ADRs and once triggered, can’t be turned back off. Finally, there are the NEOs which all have the pushbutton and either BUSS or DBUS; on these planes the BUSS/DBUS is turned on and can also be turned back off by using the button. If it makes any potential passengers feel a little safer, for the last several years we have been going through this drill in our annual recurrent simulator training. I’m going to link to an Airbus article from their “Safety First” publication on unreliable speed; on the last page is a picture of what the BackUp Speed Scale looks like. By the way, in the real world this procedure (and its associated tables) take up a full 50 pages of our Quick Reference Handbook. safetyfirst.airbus.com/app/themes/mh_newsdesk/documents/archives/unreliable-speed.pdf
LOVE YOUR VIDS, man! Hey what do you think about that C919? And how does that apply to you maint guys? If your airline was to buy some, would it be mandatory for you to get rated to work on it?
Thank you, as always. Really enjoyed seeing the Allegheny Airlines Livery. Brought back memories as I’m from Western Pennsylvania and would watch them fly over my house from time to time. The airport in the fog is settling in for Halloween! 🎃 see you in the next office!
Aweome video. Gonna miss the 773 F seat, rotating that in-flight and looking directly out the window never got boring. And always retract your IFE remote properly peeps.
57:48 It's this part that scares me a little, Mr. Stig. You may not see anyone there, but you feel their presence and know that there is someone there.
Cargo doesn't disappoint thats for sure as usual. Never seen a Lambo in that color. Usually Red, Black, or White as a common color. I'm still waiting on one of Stigs co workers to jump up from the back and yell BOOO! after parking the plane and shutting down after brake ride. the guy that twirled the rag would be perfect, LOL!
I wish I saw your video yesterday. Got a call to service Hydraulics on a 737 and only having experience working on ERJs and limited Airbus took me a second to find the pump and hose to service it LOL
A really foggy marine layer! Thanks for explaining the GSE markings. Car-GO never disappoints!! As cool as the Countach looked back then, it looks a little funny now. Another great shift Stig 😎🤙!!
I love in your videos looking to see if people have their windows open. If I have a window seat I will be snapping my neck the whole time to see the planes around whatever airport it is. Folks are missin out on the beauty of aviation!
As always, an awesome and informative video! How did an hour go by so fast! And the Laters 🤙🏻 till the next adventure always signify’s our Stigshift episode is over! 😢
10:35 on the flap track transmission on the data tag it had Curtis Wright on it that was a pioneer aircraft manufacturer from way back I didn’t know that they were still around lots of history there. Keep up the great work from an retired A&P👍🏼
You’re very correct on that, lots of history behind that name. I would definitely encourage viewers to read up on that. And thank you as always Remy for watching.
Stig’s favorite words at the start of every video: “GOOOOOOOOOD morning everybody!” Love it!
Let Go 🤙🤙🤙
Me too I love this channel and I'm a girl! An old bird too and I've always loved planes trains and automobiles

Thank you so much for your kind words. And you are absolutely right, you really have to love this to enjoy it.
At this point I scream Good MOOORNANG EVERYBODY! In my head to positively start a day. Thanks so much for this, stig! Keep it up, we love the effort!

Had to send another 57 to the scrappers today Stig 😢 N538US. Even had to manually start it to send her off made it feel even worse.
Also, I cannot agree more about the "knowing everything" segment at the end of the video.
I used to stress out about not knowing every little detail when I left the Engine shop and transitioned to Line Operational shifts.
At some point I realized that the next revolutionary breakthrough in our industry could happen tomorrow and rewrite everything. At that point was able to relax and embrace what we do, Its not about knowing everything, its about knowing where to go to find the information you need (atleast thats how I view it lol...)
Stay safe out there My Brother! 🤙
It’s hard to see a plane go like that. The feeling is mutual, especially for that particular tail number.
2:00 Yup. Every year we in the Caribbean are always looking Eastward. In fact where I am (Tobago) just barely escaped the eye of Beryl right before it ran through Carriacou island. Frightening thing to be in. I was fearful for some of my family in Orlando and Melbourne, but they're thankfully ok.
Hurricanes tornadoes and typhoons are just terrifying to me. It’s just incredible amount of power and destruction they can produces.
Woohoo!! Time for some fun with Stigshift!!
Praying for those in Florida! 🙏
Hope you enjoyed it
@@StigAviation always do! There is something about the brake riding that is so calming. Maybe it’s the views as the beauty is being moved.
Hi Stig, every time you show us the wheel,well it blows my mind. The complexity is incredible, never get tired of learning about these beautiful machines 👍
I’m very happy you enjoyed it
Great to have the weekley video!
Thank you for the awesome conten!
Glad you enjoy it!
I'm never ever tired of the info!! That's what makes your videos the best!! Keep it coming thick and fast!!
Thank you Kev
I absolutely love the diagrams and other things like the Airbus Laws you showed us a few vids back. It's so cool seeing what's actually happening. Like the 737 flap transmission and torque tubes etc etc, it's so cool watching it!!
Great, glad folk like your good self are looking after the aircraft that take us all over the globe, I really do think that aviation has brought everyone together (long before the Internet) and is a force for good in this ball of rock (and wonder😊) we call home, all the best from sunny Troon Scotland ❤
Well said! Cheers to you from LAX
Stig, I'm so jealous of those amazing aircraft you work with, I'm a pilot trained out of Midway airport in Chicago, have not flown in ten years, now flying out of grass field, only one more certification to fly again as pilot in command, I'm 62, met owner of field and made deal i will go in two hours early to help out with maintenance of field and equipment and infrastructure, wish me luck in my old age, like my Dad said to me, I'm a young boy trapped in an old man's body!
Wishing you all the best Norman, and it doesn’t matter how old you are as long as you are loving what you’re doing.
Ocala fl, not bad as storms go, lost power but that is to be expected. Best to you stig
You’re still here and alive. That’s all I care about. I love my Florida people.
Good friends, especially those you make during work, or difficult times, are the strongest bonds. I miss the bonds of friendship I made in the military and I'm sure its similar to the friendships you make in the aviation industry. Hold those people close and nurture those bonds for time is fleating and before you know it, it's gone.
Beautifully said Ryan. 👌
Ran across your channel and immediately got hooked . First and foremost , thank you for all you do to keep people safe in the air and keep those planes flying. As a parts coordinator for a FedEx maintenance hub , I find it fascinating the millions of pieces parts that make up an aircraft. Thanks for all you do !!
Thank you so much for being here and enjoying it all.
Dear Stig thank you very much for what you are doing for us. I really enjoy your videos very much.
Thank you so much for being here and enjoying it
I watch you every Friday night. I just subscribed on here with my work pc, but I have been watching you on my home account for a while. I wish their were more people like you in this world, you really care about people and doing the best job that you can. I will say that you do come across very sincere and honest. Your company should be very happy to have you and you make them look good.
Thank you so much for the kind words Steve, I appreciate you being here and enjoying the adventures.
Last week I stood for the first time (of many to come) in front of a GE90. incredible. The startup sound from close gives me chills. Love working in aviation.
@@MajorManjuw shakes you from the inside out. Pure power
Really enjoy your channel. My career before i retired was in electronic technology. My uncle was a mechanic for northwest at MSP. I always looked up to him and loved his stories. You remind me a lot of him....
I bet he had some real fun stories to tell you. Northwest was a great airline.
Seeing the marine layer reminded me of the freezing fog at ORD when I used to fly in from LHR 40 years ago. When I started at AT&T my American colleagues told me to bring gloves but being from the UK I couldn't understand why. Then one day I grabbed an exit door handle and my hand stuck to it! It never got that cold in the UK.....
Chicago is no joke when it comes to winters. It gets really cold out there. I bet you you brought your gloves next time. 😅
Wishing everybody in Florida, and heck, the South US as a whole to stay safe. British weather might be rubbish, but it doesn't hold a candle to what you guys go through. Wish you all well. 🙏
I'd like to see that Bird Strike video here, if TH-cam will allow it. (They can be a bit finicky with graphic stuff, even if it's educational which is pretty silly.)
I actually saw a video recently of someone filming an Aer Lingus A330 taking off, and they encountered a bird strike and had to return. Gnarly watch, but everything was handled very well, passengers didn't panic, the flight crew flew the plane and made announcements, the cabin crew made sure everybody was strapped in. Plane landed safely. Would love to see the maintenance side of something like that. Much like your lightning strike you encountered a while back, I loved the process of what you guys do, really comforting to know how thorough your work is. Makes us nervous flyers feel much more at ease.
Great shift as always, Stig! Getting close to that 100k! 🤞😄
I’ll definitely get the video on here within the week, and thank you so much.
Très bien ! Magnifique !
A nother mood with the smog in LA. Thank you for sharing your knowlegde.
Who learns not to age..
Encore une excellente vidéo Monsieur Stig
Thank you so much Arturo, I’m happy that you’re enjoying the adventures
The PSA bird really does look genuinely happy.
Always smiling 😊
Genuinely joyous 😊😊
Thanks for another adventure and more knowledge, Stig!
@@BobWolff-m7y my pleasure. Thank you for watching Bob
Learn so much from your awesome channel-huge thanks! I absolutely love it!
Glad you enjoy it!
Hey thanks I got ThruNite TN12 Pro from AmazonI love it.i work as a line aircraft mechanic at iah
I hope you enjoy the flashlight, and just a word of advice for you, do not leave it on on super bright, it gets very hot very quickly
Hi Stig, the first aircraft shown was that retro American Airbus, i happen to be watching a live stream from LAX from a guy you know, "Mr Groucho" and seen that arrive. Nice video as always Stig, and we never get tired in listening to you explaining to us about your work, im a aircraft enthusiast since the age of 12, im now 63, the knowledge is never ending there is still loads i don't know about. Have a good week.
Thank you so much David. I’m very happy you enjoyed this video and I’m glad to see you passionate about this wonderful world of aviation.
Just found you channel & subbed 1 min in, loving your videos.
I wish I had gone in to airplane maintenance or working at a Airport but love seeing how things work behind the scenes.
Thanks for checking out my channel, you're in for a treat. I appreciate you being here
Sarasota Florida here, took a direct hit, no power and lost most of our neighborhood. Thank you stig for bringing me joy with these videos, I love learning about the airplanes you work on and your videos help bring back some normality and some mental comfort. Thanks brother ❤️
@@KjosephB thank you for having time and ability to check in. I’m thankful you are safe and alive.
I’m not a massive 737 fan but I must say the 737Max-8 is something else. The winglets, the engine and the cockpit with the big screens it quit nice also the reworked apu tail and slightly enhanced aerodynamics make the please pretty beautiful. But in still an Airbus fan boy hehehehe simply cause it’s more friendly to everyone. Even you guys like the way Airbus tell you the important information :). Love you stig I learn so much from these.
The Max is definitely a huge evolution within the series of that aircraft, it’s definitely a lot more maintenance friendly then its predecessors
Always love it when I stop by your channel Stig, you’re so close to 100k subs!! 🎉
Thank you for being here Dean. I hope you enjoyed it.
Fun to see how you have fun with your co-workers 😊😊 49:48 team work ❤
Teamwork makes the Dream Work 🫡🛫🤙
Allegheny airlines!!!! The local airline that flew out of my local airport for decades before US Air. Very fond memories of flying them
It was a very good airline. Small but good.
Savior of a night as usual! Was about to get sleepy what’s better than good ol stig with some adventures lessgooo
Cheers. Hope you enjoyed it and got some good rest
Stig, your videos are inspiring! I am studying at the moment but I realized it's just not what I want, so I started looking and found this amazing universe of working on birds. So, as of end of September I applied for a spot in the Luftwaffe to become an AMT. Your videos assure me more and more, that this is what I wanna do. May god bless ya buddy and keep up the amazing work!
, That’s absolutely incredible. I am wishing you nothing but the best.
11:35 Amazing the flaps mechanism. Thank you for this new and interesting video. Always waiting for the next one ✌️👏👏👏👏👏
I’m very happy you enjoyed it sir, thank you so much for watching
Well said with your opening remarks Stig!
Many thanks
I’m just now going to baker in the bus, and I see this amazing video, starting off school with an amazing day!
Have a good time at school and learn as much as you can 🤙
Hey there Stig! That Airbus with a special livery, has a VistaJet logo. VJ is corporate jet company which makes me believe that that aircraft was an Airbus Corporate Jet (ACJ) at one time.
It was actually part of Allegheny. Read up on that it’s actually got a pretty interesting history.
Unrelated to this episode but please Stig, ...Relate again to younger folks interested in Aviation how easy it is to get a ramp agent job and be very up close and personal with the same aircraft you are around. I hired on too late with United at age 67 and my knees and the cargo pits were my downfall. ( I knew it was a long shot for my age but it was something I always wanted to be around) I so wish I had tried to hire on 20 or 30 years earlier ! I use the 'Indeed' job search site and still get daily job offers for ramp agents. Plenty of jobs on the ramp are out there... THANKS STIG, Love your channel !
I am most definitely will talk about this in future episodes. Thank you so much for the recommendation.
Aaaannnnddd Stig never disappoints!!😂
Wow DLC, that’s a term I haven’t heard in a long time. Ever heard of the F-14 Tomcat being nicknamed the Turkey?
I may be corrected on this but in part due to F-14As problem child, the Pratt & Whitney TF-30 engines causing compressor stalls on approach to the carrier due to continuous power changes, DLC was introduced on the Tomcat in the 1970s to help reduce reliance on engine power to make glide slope corrections. The system has been around a long time but because the LSOs (Landing Signal Officers) would see the wing spoilers and Elevons (or Tailerons) going bananas on approach, the F-14 became known as the flying Turkey. Fun fact!
Prior to, or in addition to, DLC, F-14 pilots would sometimes quickly wiggle the stick left and right a couple of times, causing the spoilers to alternately come up and back down on each wing to drop the plane down onto the meatball.
My understanding is that DLC originated on the Lockheed L-1011; on approach it would be armed and the spoilers would float up to 7°, after which the autopilot could adjust them from 0 - 14° to maintain the glideslope, or alternately the pilot could control them manually with a thumbwheel on the yoke.
@@Pupda I’m not surprised the SR-71 would need something like a DLC system due to having no conventional elevator controls. A very old system but no doubt the system on the B737 MAX as in Stigs video may be more complex.
Absolutely loving these facts, thank you so much for this
Stig been watching for well over a year and now a fellow co worker in heavy in CLT keep up the good work as always buddy! Keep ummm flying 👊🏽
Thank you so much Jonathan.
Great channel!!! Im learning such interesting stuff 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you! Glad you're learning something new.
Hello dear friend: I enjoyed a lot today's video and the "🎵🎶🎵" from the 777 turbines.
I strongly believe that no one ( at least in TH-cam) has an aviation oriented chanel that covers in deep all the details that you constantly explain to us technicians and amateurs.
Definitely you are the Joe Patroni of the XXI Century 😊😊.
Have a nice weekend.
Calling me, Joe Petroni is the ultimate compliment. 🙇♂️
@@StigAviation my pleasure. People like you, really dedicated to do their job with such love and care, deserve "the entire treatment" ; said Arthur's choffeur in the movie .
Sting I’m on a cruise ship we just tied up in Guatemala. There is nobody here. It’s crazy. Heading thru the canal in a day or 2. Then home on a AK Max FLL to Portland. Seat 26A. Keep up the great work. You’d love all the systems on these floating cities. Have a great week.
I hope the rest of your cruise goes smoothly. Enjoy the vacation and thank you for watching.
Good morning, Stig. I missed this yesterday before bed. Always a big joy to watch you Stig.
Hope you enjoyed it!
WOOOOHOOOOOO was about to go to sleep and be well slept for my 11 hour work day tomorrow, BUT, a Stig shift on Thursday night means no sleep until its over!!! Stig shift for the win!!! Thank you buddy!!!!!!!
Well, thank goodness it’s only an hour long, thank you so much for being here and watching Mike.
@@StigAviation thank you for the videos my friend
Hi Stig! I've been watching your videos for some time now and just wanted to tell you how much I look forward to each weeks "adventure". There is not video that I haven't enjoyed. Having flown to many places around the world, I love learning about airplanes and your videos are incredibly informative...even if I don't always fully understand what you are talking about. LOL Thankfully you have built a great library to refer back to. Keep up the great work on your job and sharing what you do. BTW...It would be awesome if you were somehow able to take one of those awesome cars out for a quick rip. Legally of course! Be well and stay safe!!
Thank you so much John. It’s a pleasure to have you here and enjoy this adventure. And if you do have questions on the things you see, don’t hesitate to ask my friend
Watching every single video of you from Florida. We made it through the storm… it was really hard and scary but we made it. Thanks for prayers
I’m so happy you’re safe. Thank you for checking in.
Great video as usual Stig, love the start up of the GE 90 best sound in the world so thank you for that. Id love to photograph the PSA A321 i love that livery pity i cant get over from the UK to photograph it just yet but thanks for showing it Stig. Stay safe my friend and keep the aviation flame burning
Thank you so much Chris, and I’m glad you enjoyed the video
Thank you Stig for another awesome video 🎉

Thanks for the invitation, I’ll keep that in mind Tim. I appreciate you being here
Hi Stig, best wishes from Stuttgart/Germany from an old aircraft enthusiast. Despite my advanced age, I still look at every aircraft because I have always been fascinated by them and still am. I regret more and more that I was pretty lazy at school so that I was never able to work on the aircraft I loved or even fly them. Such a shame. And thank you very much for sharing your Stig Shift with us. One of the best, if not THE best channel on TH-cam. Just one or two quick questions: are you not allowed to show your face and hopefully your shift will stay with us for a long time. Stay healthy and nothing bad happens to you. And please forgive me if the translation didn't work out well lol
Thank you so much for being here and thank you so much for enjoying these adventures with me. And to answer your question, yes, I am allowed to show my face. I just choose not to because I don’t want to distract from the airplanes and the beautiful Aviation.
@@StigAviation great answer .Thats why i only show my legs LOL
Noticed the single engined taxi at 5:07 . Raised a few small questions.
1) how much slower does the pilot need to taxi / is he or she taxiing slower due to the power coming only from one side?
2) what are the various ways you can tell an engine has been resting for a while
Love you stig have a great weekend ❤
The pilot will taxi at normal speeds with one engine or both engines. It’s just amount of thrust they can apply to the engine. In reality, it’s all about momentum. Various ways to tell if an engine has been resting for a while, the most obvious is how hot the engine is, and the oil levels.
That Lamborghini contach is one of my dream cars along with the aventador, ford F150 and a H1 hummer
Me too. Such beautiful cars
I use these videos to wake up in the morning.
Cheers 🤙
The floor heating system is only on the A321s; supposedly all the 321s have the floor strips at the 2 and 3 doors (the doors just ahead of and behind the wing) except the NEOs which don’t have a 2 door to heat. The 321Ts (the transcontinental planes) and the NEOs also have the heated general floor area in the forward boarding/galley area as well.
For whatever reason, there is no heating on the 4 doors (aft galley) which flight attendants universally believe is the coldest part of every plane ever made...
(When I was a newbie FO we got a call from the cabin; our purser called to tell us that the heated floor wasn’t working; I just looked at the captain like he had put the flight attendants up to this to mess with the new guy, but as it turned out, we really did have a heated floor, and it really wasn’t working.)
And because Stig asked…
BUSS - the BackUp Speed Scale is primarily - as the name says - a backup in case we lose the airspeed indications, although as Stig mentioned the barometric altitude is also replaced by GPS altitude when BUSS is in use. While altitude is always important, airspeed is, in the moment, more critical as we don’t want to either stall or overspeed the aircraft, or both; think of Air France 447…
On the BUSS system the airspeed scale on the left side of the PFD is replaced by an angle of attack scale (the A320 family aircraft all have three AOA vanes), with a green center band for “good” or, for Navy types, “on speed” AOA; above and below that band, red and yellow bands; and outside those areas solid red “no fly” zones. On our newest NEOs the BUSS AOA display has been replaced by DBUS - Digital BackUp Speed - which converts the AOA information into an equivalent airspeed presented on the normal airspeed scale, but with a “BKUP SPD” flag on the speed scale, and all the last digits on the speed and altitude scales crossed out by double amber bars to remind us that we’re actually flying on the DBUS system and not real airspeed.
We end up with four types of airplanes: our oldest airplanes have no backup system of any sort and, if they get into this situation, have to fly using a painful set of tables based on specific aircraft type, engine, weight, configuration, altitude, phase of flight, etc, The next group are BUSS planes without the button (these are non-NEOs); the BUSS is forced on by turning off the three ADRs and once triggered, can’t be turned back off. Finally, there are the NEOs which all have the pushbutton and either BUSS or DBUS; on these planes the BUSS/DBUS is turned on and can also be turned back off by using the button.
If it makes any potential passengers feel a little safer, for the last several years we have been going through this drill in our annual recurrent simulator training. I’m going to link to an Airbus article from their “Safety First” publication on unreliable speed; on the last page is a picture of what the BackUp Speed Scale looks like.
By the way, in the real world this procedure (and its associated tables) take up a full 50 pages of our Quick Reference Handbook.

Typo my friend. Autocorrect doesn’t like me. Corrected.
LOVE YOUR VIDS, man! Hey what do you think about that C919? And how does that apply to you maint guys? If your airline was to buy some, would it be mandatory for you to get rated to work on it?
I don’t know anything about the C919, haven’t even seen one. But if my airline decides to buy one, yes, I do have to get type rated.
Thank you, as always. Really enjoyed seeing the Allegheny Airlines Livery. Brought back memories as I’m from Western Pennsylvania and would watch them fly over my house from time to time. The airport in the fog is settling in for Halloween! 🎃 see you in the next office!

LAX cargo is literally the best car show I’ve ever seen. They could sell tickets to let people just walk around cargo.
I agree. Some incredible vehicles out there. But in recent weeks I haven’t had time to visit.

Glad you enjoyed it
Stig - Good on you for taking the time to acknowledge or respond to the many comments on your videos!
@@edschoenstein1893 I try my best Ed. Thank you.
Aweome video. Gonna miss the 773 F seat, rotating that in-flight and looking directly out the window never got boring. And always retract your IFE remote properly peeps.
Hopefully the new interior is going to be just as comfortable.
57:48 It's this part that scares me a little, Mr. Stig. You may not see anyone there, but you feel their presence and know that there is someone there.
It is a bit ominous inside of a dark unpowered aircraft.
I have my interview with AAL as an AMT later this month, greatly appreciate the videos.
Wishing you the best. Hope you get the job
Love your stuff! Keep it coming...
Thank you , will do!
Cargo doesn't disappoint thats for sure as usual. Never seen a Lambo in that color. Usually Red, Black, or White as a common color. I'm still waiting on one of Stigs co workers to jump up from the back and yell BOOO! after parking the plane and shutting down after brake ride. the guy that twirled the rag would be perfect, LOL!
@@sailormike1089 they’ve done that so many times 🤣🤣🤣
I wish I saw your video yesterday. Got a call to service Hydraulics on a 737 and only having experience working on ERJs and limited Airbus took me a second to find the pump and hose to service it LOL
😅 well good news is that you know where it is now and you’ll never forget it 🤙
A really foggy marine layer! Thanks for explaining the GSE markings. Car-GO never disappoints!! As cool as the Countach looked back then, it looks a little funny now. Another great shift Stig 😎🤙!!
That’s the second time I’ve ever seen one in my life, I think it’s a beautiful car but totally belongs in the 80s.
A funny thing about the PSA aircraft and the smile…. I have always felt the the DC-8 with the under chin inlets always looked like it was smiling :)
@@edschoenstein1893 you’re right, it does look it on the DC8
I love in your videos looking to see if people have their windows open. If I have a window seat I will be snapping my neck the whole time to see the planes around whatever airport it is. Folks are missin out on the beauty of aviation!
I know what you mean, I love looking out the window too!
Nice explanation of DLC. First used on the TriStar and also on Embraer, called Steep Approach mode.
F-14 also used DLC but as in manual spoiler control because it had so much lift it didn't want to land
My grandpa helped design the cockpit and most systems on the L-1011!
I hope I explained it properly. Thank you

I see you on camera working hard, and I'm reminded of Wilson from Home Improvement. ☺️
That’s one of my favorite shows, I haven’t seen any of the reruns lately.
10:35 on the flap track transmission on the data tag it had Curtis Wright on it that was a pioneer aircraft manufacturer from way back I didn’t know that they were still around lots of history there. Keep up the great work from an retired A&P👍🏼
You’re very correct on that, lots of history behind that name. I would definitely encourage viewers to read up on that. And thank you as always Remy for watching.
