Omygosh!! Stig is on!! Let’s stay up and watch the video!!! Who needs sleep 😴!!!!
"Stig is on....Stig is o-on..."
Yeah it’s 10pm for me but I’m staying up to watch this!
True
AGREED
Oof. It’s 3 AM here. What’s another 58 minutes anyways. GOOOOD MORNING EVERYBODY
Absolutely amazing words for your mum. Well said. You only have 1 set of parents.
She is my protector and everlasting teacher in life.
You are absolutely correct with the Merc @ 25:48 being very rare. It's a 560 SEC AMG. Part of why it's so rare and unique is the interesting relationship between AMG and Mercedes at the time. Some of you may or may not recall, that AMG used to be a separate tuning company that overhauled already manufactured cars. You couldn't order an AMG SEC from a Mercedes dealer like you can now (Well, technically you can't order an SEC anymore, but you get the point). You had to order a regular SEC and then put up another order with AMG and deliver your car to them for an overhaul. The process involved multiple mechanical modifications to increase the power and improve the handling, but also hacking up the body to give it the flared fenders and sometimes even repainting the whole car while they were at it. The conversions were very well made, looking and working like that was the way the cars left the factory. When you were too rich for a regular SEC, this is what you got to impress your friends.
That’s absolutely phenomenal information, thank you so much for letting everybody know. That was awesome. 🤙
Oh I thought it was a Hammer. TY
Hi Stig, thanks for your kind words at the end of video. Learning so much from you, you open the knowledge gate of aviation for me with such a easy way, just watching your video's. Thanks again...
My pleasure! Thank you for being here.
Thanks for sharing! I pray the next generation will share Your enthusiasm.
Thank you for being here and watching. I wish the same for the next generation. I will do my best to pass the knowledge.
Hey Stig, absyloved this video. Your presentations are like fine wine, you get better with age. Technical explanations along with videos and photo clips make your presentations very educational and enjoyable to watch. My grandkids are now great viewers. Keep'em coming brother. From Sydney, Australia 🇦🇺
Thank you so much Rob, sending you greetings from LAX. I appreciate you watching and I appreciate the grandkids watching. Cheers
Thank you sir. And everyone involved in aviation that keeps the sky safe!! It’s quality how engineering can bring people together. 👍🙏🙏
Well said Barry. Thank you for watching
At (24:04). Man, those Tesla trux look like Martian landers or something. Goofy looking.
They look very futuristic, I wonder if this is where the design is going in future days.
What a treat. We get the barking dog, and a bonus kitty cat. Cheers Stig!
Cheers. Thank you for watching
@@StigAviation Kitty cat called?
Unsure if you've already done something like this, but I (and surely many others) would be very interested to watch a video about your journey in becoming an aircraft mechanic for the airlines. Watching through your series of videos has honestly made me seriously consider line maintenance as a potential career, so any insight you can provide into the process would be truly invaluable. Not that you are obliged, though! Every episode of Stig Shift is enough of a blessing as is.
One of these days, I’m going to sit down and make a very long video and talk about the path I took, and where my career led me. I would need to gather my thoughts and hopefully jog my memory. It’s been 25 years since I started, I’ve done a lot. I’ve seen a lot. Putting that into a video is a bit difficult, but I will do it.
I’ll be 66 on May 25 th. You continue to teach this old dog new tricks! I ‘bout melted on the floor when I saw that awesome Maserati. What a gorgeous car. Thank you, be safe, take care.
Thank you so much for being here and I am happy that me and you both can learn new things. Wishing you a happy birthday. 🎁🎂🎊
@@StigAviation Thank you! I feel younger every year.
Wise words at the end for all the senior technicians and trainees. In my field(automotive) , I had some very poor teachers and a couple of very good ones.
You are in the very good class!
Excellent videos 🎉
Thank you so much, we got a pass down our knowledge.
Hello Stig. I've been an aviation enthusiast for more than 20 years, and I've piloted two types of aircraft you are servicing. Even though I have been through FCOMs, FCTMs, and AMMs my whole career, I have learned more from your videos in a few months than I have from these books in 20 years. :D Keep up the good work.
Thank you very much, and much like you. I am always a student of aviation. I’m always learning.
Beautiful shout out to your Mum! She really did an amazing job Stig!! Happy Mother’s Day to her. 🌹
Thank you so much ☺️
@@StigAviationyou are very welcome! ☺️
Stay belted! Here is one where ALL were belted and there were FEW injuries, way more dramatic, and damaging to plane, 1985. Plane dropped, out of control 30,000 FEET!
On the 19th of February 1985, a China Airlines Boeing 747 one engine of 4 lost power, and due to pilot inattention, they allowed the plane to roll, then stall. Mind you, this plane can fly with ONE engine, and 3 were working fine. It was pilot error! They did not pay attention to speed or bank angle, while troubleshooting the ONE engine. Pieces began to tear off the jet as it tumbled toward the sea. And then, just when it seemed all hope was lost, the captain regained his bearings and leveled the plane - after falling more than 30,000 feet in two and a half minutes, they pulled out just in time. The crew nursed the crippled 747 to an emergency landing in San Francisco, and the 274 passengers and crew disembarked with only a few serious injuries. The media hailed the captain as a hero. But what was the real story? The proper procedure for dealing with a hung engine was to close the bleed air valves on that engine before attempting to increase power, and this probably would have fixed the problem; however, Wei was allowed to perform the procedure without reference to the checklist, and while working from memory he forgot to perform this minor but critical step. The engine did resume power, they went about it all wrong. Part, but not all of the horizontal stabilizer was broken off, but it FLEW fine, landed safely. That plane far exceeded it's design limits.
Thanks for the info
I just have to say Stig one of the things you do that we appreciate the most as viewers is the way you interact with us in the comments and showing us things we ask about during your videos. That makes a world of difference in setting you apart from every other creator on this platform who doesn’t do it. You are our biggest fan, but we are your biggest fans!
Thank you very much and it’s a pleasure to have you here and enjoy the adventures with me.
Planes, cats and cars - what could be better?
Thank you for watching. Glad you enjoyed it
What I always appreciate about airliner redundancies is that these aren't just duplicates or backups but webs of asymmetrically configured overlapping systems. It would take multiple of failures of different types in multiple places from multiple causes to get to a catastrophic situation. And also, rather than binary failures there are degrees of capability degradation. Many people smart people have thought about these things. I especially like the Airbus hydraulics design.
That’s exactly the way I see it as well. This is why I love airplanes, it’s pure engineering perfection.
Thanks again Stig! I’ll never tire of learning about these beautiful machines. Lovely words for your Mother there. Family is important. Always remember where you came from. 🫡
Absolutely, I am incredibly thankful for my mother.
Stig is a great teacher.
Stig, I’m currently an apprentice getting my engineering license and your videos are massively helpful to develop my knowledge and aid my understanding on different systems and processes. Thank you for taking your time to make these videos, it’s highly appreciated 💪
I am wishing you the best success in your career as an engineer, and I’m very happy these videos are helping. Cheers 🤙
Always love the airbus barking of the hydraulics beautiful and always great vid :)
Thank you very much Justin
That jet blue landing was impeccable
Absolutely 👌
@@StigAviation I know, right? Straight Down The Center-Line. Smooth-Smooth-Smooth. Stopped ON a white line. Ten out of Ten.
I finally got to see the barking dogs. We sat on the tarmac once while those things ran over and over again. Finally, we returned to the gate where something was repaired, and we finally left over an hour late.
By any chance was this in LAX at gate 41 that you had the delay?
@@StigAviation Nope, Dallas, on United.
My only excuse to ever stay up late, glad to be early to this one! Great work stig!
Hope you enjoyed it, and thank you for being here
I'm glad to see your channel . Lots of thing's to know and learn tnkx
It's my pleasure. Thank you for being here
I think I spotted you several times while I was on holiday in LA last week (spent 95% of the holiday planespotting of course)
The respect this man deserves for not only making awesome videos and keeping people safe, but he includes respect to his mom in his video. It’s sad to say that it’s difficult to find those people who respect family. o7
Thank you so much for the kind words sir. I truly appreciate it.
Love love love your videos and your incredible passion. Thank you!
Thank you so much!
"Aaand the Weather Radar will make pancakes!"
love your work, Sir ❤
Thank you 🤙 cheers
Another awsome stream. Amazing how the flaps work, so many mechanisms in place that need to work together. My sincerest thank you for your educational shows
It’s my pleasure William. Glad you enjoyed it
Stig, thanks immensely for another awesome video. I am hooked! I truly appreciate you for taking the time to explain an array of aircraft concepts and systems. Take care and be safe!
My pleasure Gregory. Thank you for taking time and watching.
Stig the man is back with another amazing upload, this guy never fails to impress us with his videos. Keep up the great work and can't wait for the next one.
Thank you so much Aiden
You are the most wonderful person..my friend..The video was great,but even better was what you said about your Mom...May God bless you my friend
Thank you so much, it’s a pleasure to have you here.
Also, it was cool to see the Rezvani, I have not seen one before. However, I couldn't help but notice that this half-million-dollar car doesn't even have a spare tire 24:43, not even a donut!
Now that you mention it, you’re right where was the spare tire? 😅
Hope all is well with you Stig. Always good to see your content and a pleasure to watch. Keep up the fantastic work my man.
Thank you very much and it’s a pleasure to have you here.
Never a dull moment my friend. ThankYOU!
Many thanks 😊
Stig, you caught me a bit late 😂 will watch in the morning, now i’ve got something to look forward to!
My friend. Rest. It will be here when you have time.
Cool and inspiring🤙 Always learn and share knowledge and experience with colleagues, that's really nice point, Stig!!!
Thank you. Glad you are like minded
I am speechless!!! This is one of the best video I watched up to now, at your channel. Shiiit, you are making me happy and hungry for mooore knowledge everytime I watch your videos. Plus, I extremely appreciate the quality, postproduction, narration recorded during editing process... Very time consumpting in my opinion. When I was recording me playing guitars and putting it all together, it also took certain amount of time.
Stig - please, never stop! 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Plus, I am always improving my knowledge of the english language, right with your help.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK AND PASSION👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you so much Marcel. it’s a pleasure to have you here.
Stig, you are a good dude. Thank you for sharing your amazing aviation world 👍
Thank you so much for the kind words. I appreciate you for being here and watching.
Great as ever! Thank you, Stig!
Many thanks 🙏
Absolutely mind boggling and some more !!
Glad you enjoyed it
This is an awesome video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge about this industry.
It’s my pleasure James, thank you for watching
Stig, you are by far my favorite aviation channel on TH-cam right now. As a pilot myself I love seeing the maintenance side of aviation cause without you guys I wouldn’t be doing what I’m doing haha. Keep up the amazing work and content 😎🤙
I appreciate you the kind words. thank you for being here
Hi Stig, Totally agree with you on sharing your knowledge, knowledge is power if you share it. Too many people think that keeping it to themselves makes them stronger, that is simply not the case! Keep up the great channel, your enthusiasm is so powerful. I found the best way to know your trade and skills is being able to teach others. Best to you and your Mum (Mom), sorry i'm a Brit!
Thank you so much sir, and I once again 100% agree with you, passing on a knowledge, not only teaches the future generation but also teaches me. Cheers 🤙
That was cool getting to see the working mechanisms that operate the flaps, bark for me dog, ruff ruff lol. I think its pretty cool how the flight computer shows the open and closed doors/hatches on the plane. And just when I wondered what that speaker looking thing was, you answered the question without me asking it, the ACT system for central tanks. I absolutely loved that sweet message that you gave to your mom, I 100% agree with everything you said, because even I know its true, as I also thank your mother for bringing you into this world, because you bring us such joy, she raised you right indeed.
Thank you so much for the kind words and as always, I appreciate you being here and watching.
The touching message to your mom for mother's day was lovely 👍
Thank you so much.
You’re the best always looking forward for your videos. God bless you and your family.
Thank you so much Joseph.
Thank you Monsieur Stig for all yours videos. It's alway a good opportunity to learn something. You have another fan in France.
It’s a pleasure having you here Arturo. Greetings from LAX.
This is the first video I watched on your channel. Love these videos. I plan on starting school for my a&p on august hopefully. Learning how these machines operate gets me even more excited! Can’t wait! 🙏
I am very excited for you, you’re gonna have a great time and make sure to ask lots of questions and study well. Feel free to go through the videos and ask me questions on something that you see that is interesting.
My goodness this was a good one Stig. Thank you for talking about the airbus Nose gear faults! My goodness how cool is that 777 built in test function? You would think the EICAS would be enough but that maintenance access computer is amazing!!! Wow!!!!
You know the 777 maintenance terminal runs on Windows XP, takes a long time to boot up into the OS. But once its running, its solid, provides all the information that a maintenance engineer needs, to fix a plane, or figure out whats wrong with it. I saw him do a more thorough video on that terminal from start to finish in an older video, thats how I know that. But the 787 Dreamliner plastic princess has the maintenance terminal all built into the main flight computer, so no need for a separate terminal.
I am very happy you enjoyed it, and to show you on the next one, the 787 has integrated it built in test functions into the EICAS 👍
Stig, what a great video. All your videos are so informative! The landing gear at 90 degrees info is really interesting and impressive! So cool! Thanks Stig you're awesome!
It’s my pleasure. Thank you for watching.
Always learn and enjoy watching Stig video!!!....Thanks!!!......A real professional A&P
Thank you so much Allan
Stig, you have the heart of a teacher. Thank you for all of the knowledge that you share. I learn so much with every video. I have no doubt that your Mother is incredibly proud of you!
Thank you so Jon. I appreciate you sir.
Another great knowledge based video, you're a very humble guy stig, thanks for sharing.. 🤙🤙
Thank you so much Scott
Live the videos.
Look forward to another "Name that price" episode.
Thanks
I’ll try to get one together Frank.
12:01 Love the L-1011! (and your cat :p)
Definitely one of my favorite models.
One more wonderful video as always Stig. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge with us my friend.
It’s my pleasure Robert, thank you for being here
I really appreciate the diagrams showing the systems. Helps a lot in understanding things. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful Tom 👌
Hey Stig. Another brilliant, brilliant episode. Showing us and explaining the inner workings of the flaps in action was absolutely amazing and then the nose gear explanation with the diagrams was so cool, techno mumbo jumbo at it's fascinating finest and its this level of detail that makes your videos so great. Aircraft truly are the most incredible machines mankind has ever created. I just wanted to say that it's really because of you that the channel is growing. Once you combine our enthusiasm and willingness to learn with your knowledge and own infectious enthusiasm and willingness to teach, the result is truly amazing and captivating videos. You have a brilliant way of explaining things, and you are giving us exactly what we want in your videos. I'm pretty sure we're all here for way more than just looking at aircraft, at the very least, I am anyway. We want to know what, why, and how, and like I said, that's exactly what you're giving us, so in truth, it really is us that should be saying the thank yous 🖖
Thank you so much Kev. I really appreciate it. Cheers
Hello, from the MIA FO! Look forward to seeing you again, Stig! Now, on to your video!
How are you my friend, always a pleasure to see you. Let me know when you’re in LAX. I’ll try to stop by.
this is _ incredible _ content, I'm learning so many interesting things - and presentation is simply amazing, not to mention fun! :D many thanks
Thank you very much. I’m happy you are enjoying it
Another great rime experience watching Stig
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you
That cat..catches my attention 😅😊
😅 🐱
Amazing how small the area of intake is to the compressors, compared to the N1 fan. Makes sense why near the root of the N1 fan blade, its stright in line to the intake airflow, so not to impede flow.
Ya gotta a dream job Stig, and your knowledge is impressive to say the least.
Thank you very much for the kind words, and yes, and the design of these engines are quite impressive
Every video gets better and better. Taking my comps for Generals rn and you give me the motivation to keep studying hard to pass my o&p
I’m wishing you all the best my friend, let me know how it goes
Thank you so much for taking us on your journey!
My pleasure. Thank you for watching
Flying on your awesome airplanes again tonight...such great service...
I’m so happy to hear that, wishing you a beautiful flight ✈️
Thanks for share your knowledge with us. I’m studying mechanic aircraft here in Brazil
I hope soon to be work that I always liked . Aviation is my passion
Keep up the good studies Paulo. You are gonna do great 👍
54:07 You are gem of a technical person. Enabling others and working to make them great. That’s the way i learned. You are a gift. 20 years from now others will come back and say you’re one of a select few that made them what they are. Marvelous. Wonderfully done.
I’m just happy I can get back to the Aviation industry, it has given me so much. It’s my duty to help the future generations. Thank you so much for being here.
Absolutely love the information having to do with the fuel systems. I’m an airline fueler at my home airport, we have 35-40 AA flights per day. 75% are E170’s by Republic and Envoy, and there are one or two CRJ2’s by Air Wisconsin and a few RJ9’s by PSA thrown in there. Our mainline service is mostly 737-800 and A319/20/21 aircraft. I always enjoy learning about the fuel systems in these planes, how they operate. Keep up the great work, love your content!
Don’t forget the coffee! ☕️
I am very happy you’re enjoying it, thank you for watching and keep that coffee hot 🤙
The first time stig has been lost for words! G'day from Tasmania!
Cheers and greetings from LAX. It’s a pleasure to have you here.
Awww. Your cat is cute. What's his or her name? Gotta' love The Stig Adventures.
That’s the boy. His name is Zoro
Such an amazing vid, totally my fav TH-cam channel!!
Thank you very much. I’m glad you enjoyed it
2:30 That was a great perspective to give on how control surfaces are powered. Awesome footage!
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it
Thank YOU for sharing your knowledge. Very much appreciated
My pleasure Carlos. It’s a pleasure to have you here.
another great upload, thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
Hey Stig! Thank you so much for these type of videos. I am 18 years old and I’m looking into the aviation industry. You really are expanding my knowledge and trust with these type of videos. Fair well ❤
I am very happy that it is helping, thank you so much for being here
@@StigAviation You're welcome!
Thanks for another amazing Stig adventure. I hope your mom watches your videos as I’m sure she loved your comment to her. Look forward to your next Stig adventure.😊
She did indeed watch it and she was very happy. Thank you as always Terry.
Awesome indepth video's. Must see for aviation-addicts
Thank you Dennis 🤙
Greetings! I just want to say that I love your videos!! It is always interesting to see things from another airline's perspective, I am from SWA my self. Cheers and keep up the great work!!!
Thank you so much Josh. Always a pleasure to have you here, stay safe out there my friend.
@@StigAviation Thank you and you too!
Oh yes! Straight in and face to face with the Airbus Barking Dog !
🐶
THATS what that weird noise is when youre on an A321....Great video. Love your vids.....keep posting all those great shots.
Yup. That’s it. The PTU (aka barking dog) 👍
Fantastic to get idea how flaps etc work.
Great content as usual.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Ah yes new Stig video! Love these!!!
Hope you enjoyed it
@@StigAviation I always love them ❤
I always respected you for being exactly what you are. I respect you even more for sharing, teaching & showing us & your coworkers; and I will tell you why. When I worked @Sony there were certain people (asskissers, brown nosers to be nicer) that were always picked for product training even when it wasn’t their product & to perform a ‘knowledge transfer’ upon their returning to the people who actually had the hands on experience but never sharing to hold others back or to ‘have the power’ over others so they kept it to themselves. I applaud you for your respect of others & not be on a higher level than you coworkers. I could not think of a better man than YOU I’d rather be in a foxhole with. Your Mom did a wonderful job with you!
Thank you so much Jeff for these beautiful and kind words. I appreciate you from the bottom of my heart.
Another great and super informative video! I am curious, with the recent Airbus 330 electrical fire at Sea/Tac airport, could you explain for us the policies/procedures for ground support folks, as well as A&P mechanics, when a fire is discovered involving a aircraft? In the TH-cam video, there appeared to be quite a bit of confusion. Thanks again for everything you do!
I believe that was an Airbus 321 and when something like that happens, there is usually a very quick response time from emergency crews. In such emergency situations, the most important part is peoples safety, if safety is compromised, then people need to get away from that area. But that being said if there is somebody that can respond quickly, because there are fire extinguishers all over the place, without putting themselves into danger then they would have. as a technician if I see something like that, I will try to save the aircraft, but I will not put my life into immediate danger unless I saw somebody else in danger, then I would do my best to save them or help them. If the airplanes gonna burn down but nobody has been hurt, then let it burn down. It’s just metal. People are more important to me, I’ll save people not the aircraft. Hope that made sense 😅
Love your Videos, please keep posting.
Will do. Thank you for watching
16:16 Learned there is an "anti shimmy accumulator" in the nose wheel. Not very scientifically, but accurately described by Airbus 😃
That AMG Benz I believe is a 600 SEC!! Wow 👍😎🤙
It’s interesting sometimes how they write the manuals and the wording they use. You have to kind of stop and say to yourself…. What!?! 🤣🤣🤣
Very very nice words at the end of the video, it is nice to see your work, your way of working, your jokes and as an aviation employee and spotter I learn a lot more. I'm a bit like you, when I see something on a plane and I don't understand what it is or do I ask a mechanic and they always love to tell you about it, because like you Stig you like your job and to teach others. Keep up the nice video. Cheers from Danny aka PiPo
Thank you Danny, always a pleasure to have you here and never stop being enthusiastic and always keep that inquisitive mind
thanks Stig! have a nice week!
Thank you. 🙏
After 2years since i went down the Rabbit hole i absolutely love this guy. My chill out time 🙂 Keep going Stig!😉
Thank you for being here Gari. 🤙
Stig, I love your videos, you remind me of my dad who used to be an aircraft mechanic. Thank you for making such entertaining videos
Thank you so much for being here and I am really happy that you’re enjoying it. Cheers to you and your dad 👍
Stig! I joyfully am on a trip this week, and as I was sitting in my airplane seat watching the ground crew prepare for pushback I thought, "I would love it if Stig talked about what it took to go through schooling and become an aircraft mechanic." Keep up the awesome content!
One of these days, I will make a video just for that, a journey of how to become an aircraft mechanic.
Another Stig Shift!!!!
Dutch Roll is a stability issue. Occurs with strong lateral stability, but weak directional stability - Yawing motion out of sync with rolling motion.
Works like so:
1) Aircraft initially disturbed in Yaw, causes roll in the same direction.
2) As aircraft yaws back, it rolls in the opposite direction. (Aircraft yaws past the original position)
3) The cycle repeats.
Fantastic information. Thank you so much
Loving the videos and information mate. From a fellow aviation nut and ramp trainer in Australia
Many thanks Greg. Thank you for being here.
At 54.00 onwards you're words mean so much and are so true. Thank you Stig for these videos, I'm useless at tech, I can't even change a plug but as an avgeek I love these videos, I really like that I learn something new everytime.
The best Aviation channel.........................................................in the world!❤
Thank you so much for the kind words my friend. I truly appreciate them. It’s a pleasure to have you here Stephen.
Thanks!
Thank you so much Philip
Awesome Stig. Always great videos. Can you talk about the fuel tank inspection windows on the lower side of the A320 wing. The black discs with white crosses in them. What’s the significance of the white cross and how does the system work. Keep up the good work. 👍🏻 love it.
I have talked about that in previous videos Gavin. Those are over Pressure burst discs.
omg I want to fly for the airlines (finishing my flight instructor certificate) but now you are making me want to learn the mechanics side of aviation where I am reading the FAA handbooks for fun lol
I’m very happy you’re enjoying a Tyler, keep on your studies and become an amazing pilot.
