@@StigAviationI can't agree more. I'd rather spend 20 minutes hanging out with you instead of spending 10 hours with my choice of celebrity/sports star.
Can you imagine how close we could come to a improved world if everyone had this much enthusiasm, commitment to quality, a deep understanding of complexities and an eagle eye for abnormalities or just normality. I have never flown. But that doesn't mean I don't appreciate the men and women who keep them in the air and on the runways. Well done !
@@StigAviationFrom what I recall, they actually have very good takeoff performance for a heavy (err “super”) - this was the longest TO roll I’ve seen in the type. Seemed to wait a while to get TO power set though.
Next chapter? Stig ATCer Extraordinaire? ATC is the Angel wings of every pilot. They keep us safe, gets us to where we are going, and they are a voice when things go wrong. Much respect to the ATC out there. They can also be some of the funniest people out there.
Apart from NHRA drag racing, there is nothing more beautiful than aviation. Thank you Stig for all the knowledge you give us and you energy, it’s hard to find people that truly love what they do 🇦🇺
I just got my dinner and was thinking "man, I wish there was a new stig shift to watch!". I checked my notifications and what do you know, a new stig shift! ❤
What I love about Stig Shifts is how I feel he portrays exactly what I feel about the aviation community: it is full of people filled with a passion born of genuine love and childish wonder. The amount of heart and fun he puts into his job is so genuine. It is for that reason (and people like him) that I believe that the field of aviation is one of the most wholesome and loving communities in the modern world, completely unburdened by the crushing weight of living in the modern world. No matter how bad the world is, there will always be people who are passionate about flight and are open to sharing and embracing that passion with anyone and everyone; it is a passion that transcends political, financial, and various levels of ideological boundaries.
Wow Stig. You must have sat some big exams to know all about the different aeroplanes. Maybe you could speak about the training involved sometime on your videos and how you got there. Meanwhile all credit to you for helping to keep everyone safe.
The training is nonstop and consistent all year-round. We never stop learning, after 25 years of doing this I still learn something new every single day.
I remember 30 some years ago when we had one of those school "take your kid to work day." My dad working the ramp for USAir took us through all the cool access parts of the airport + taking me and my brother outside on top of the terminal to head to ATC tower at SEA. Freaking cool memories. Could only imagine all that you saw in the tower at LAX.
Stig standby. Got to lock my spot. Couple of things. I think the pilots oxygen masks are what’s called “positive pressure” means 1.5 psi above atmosphere in case of a poor face seal. Air will flow out preventing the pilot from breathing smoke. Chicago had a baggage cart get ingested by an engine. Last. Is ground control in the upper tower or down below the glass? Very cool you had a tour. ATC is one of the only jobs with a max age on employment. Used to be 30. Had to be hired by 30 and a mandatory retirement age as well. Thank you friend. Busy episode.
@@StigAviation flying Alaska FLL-SEA as we speak. I’ve been watching for A&Ps checking the planes. They must be very stealthy or get it done while the passengers disembark. Haven’t caught them in action.
That was so cool seeing the airport from the tower. Watching that A380 landing on 24R brought back memories of fulfilling my bucket list of having a hamburger at that particular in n out burger!
Really enjoy your videos. I’m an aviation nerd. Had family friends work for American back in the day. My first flight was on a 727. Never forget the breakfast pancakes with strawberry’s ! Always have had a favorite for American. Yes I’m old😂. Wish my life would have been apart aviation but didn’t work out because of health reasons. So that’s why I watch you and the community! Thanks for the knowledge and passion!
Last week, an F18, now inside the ATC... Crazy! What a beautiful view. And always something New to learn, to the sunset at the sunrise. Thank you and thank for yours friends who's made possible this moment. You're so lucky. Encore une excellente vidéo Monsieur Stig!
I still call those tatic wicks :) I was fortunate to visit KBOS (Class Bravo) and KBED (Class Delta) Control Towers - Impressive ...years ago when I was a student, my CFII/MEI took me up .. he know someone there .. I was facinated by the Weather system AWOS - and ATIS .. the departure and arrival traffic controllers are AMAIZING!! my hats off to them ... like when the guys rampling along .. something like "American xxx you're 10 miles from JERIT, Turn Left Heading 300, Maintain 3000 until establish, you're clear ILS 3-4 for the approach into Boston." - then they will switch them to the tower .. and every aircraft making that approch .. same stuff .. my head was spinning :) God Bless those guys/gyals .. Thanks for Sharing Stig! Another Beauty!
It's incredible seeing this-you’re showing what you love to do and being able to share it with the world, and few are those who both show and pass on that knowledge. A big Obrigado(thanks) from Portugal and keep going I'm loving following the adventures!
Nice to see you got to go visit the control tower. I have had the honour to tour the control towers at London Heathrow and Gatwick. Memories I will never forget

I saw the notification and couldn't wait to watch the latest Stig adventures. How awesome to be able to visit the tower! I visited Sydney's Bankstown airport tower a week ago. While tiny compared to Sydney Kingsford Smith (which is minute next to LAX), Bankstown has almost the same movements for GA as Mascot. It was an awesome visit for an hour or so. Cheers!
I’m joining aim here in Atlanta soon. I really want this career and going to do everything in my power to succeed! I’m going to watch and learn from you I’m happy I found ya page
I’m glad you are joining the school for this job opportunity, I want to tell you something, and it’s to never stop learning and be enthusiastic about your career choice. Don’t ever stop asking questions and make sure to always be open minded. I wish you nothing but the best and don’t hesitate to ask me questions, I’m here to help.
Stig im going through A&P school and your videos give me so much excitement to learn more about aircraft and the amazing systems that go into every aircraft. Keep up the amazing videos thank you!!
Just finished watching this and after hearing about your paranormal experience, reminded me that it is Halloween tomorrow (NZ time). That view from the control tower was so awesome. I have also been in the tower at Queenstown Airport a few years back and also the airport fire station there and at Dunedin airport too.
Brother let me just say that I truly respect & appreciate what you're doing. Wow, I had no idea! This is totally new for me & I really love it. I also like very much the effort you are making to film & work with one hand. I know it’s a real bother as ‘am an oil refinery operator & can’t work with one hand in the field, so more thanks here. I'm from Saudi Arabia and through aviation & I can relate to all aviators around the world & totally agree with your message. Thanks from the bottom of my heart to all aircrafts mechanics around the world & thanks to you Mr. Stig for letting people like me know. ALLAH (God) bless you all. Waiting for the next adventure. Xebec
In all reality, Jake, I am neither smart nor interesting. I am actually very boring and I try to learn as much as possible. I am a regular guy and I’m just happy that I can share my life with you on this platform.
“Stig is in the sky, with diamonds” 😀 Just paraphrasing the Beatles “Lucy” song Seriously, thanks for the tower views! I wish we could see a controller on the radio while seeing her/his screen, But it was a great surprise anyhow!! Thanks Stig, a pleasure to watch you as every week!!! “Later!!” 🏆🏆
I’m very happy you enjoyed it, and I did ask the lovely people if they wished to be in the video they politely declined, but offered me to film anything else that I see within the tower.
@@StigAviation so kind of them indeed 👍 Maybe another time you could focus on their screen for a long time while they talk on the radio so we see how they devide and manage their domain (separate segments for ground and air controllers). Already waiting for your next video 😊
Late to the party but still excited! 13:14 the fun thing about the high resistance is that the high R is a massive safety feature and must have in ESD management systems. If you've ever used an ESD wrist strap or footwear, you've also hooked yourself up to a really high resistance path to ground. Reason being that you generally suck at being a capacitor, and can't carry much charge, so a high R is more than sufficient to discharge you, slowly in a non painful way, but that's not the only reason to have a high resistance. You also need that resistance to protect you from large ground transients (which you are bonded to). For the ESD wicks, I'd imagine the high resistance protects the wick and anyone who should come into contact with it from the extremely high voltages that can accumulate. I'd also imagine that planes also generally suck at being a capacitor, so you probably don't need to worry about discharge speed either
@@StigAviation I’m with you Stig, I had a kitten for many years ❤ What’s the difference between cats and dogs? A dog says “he gets me food and shelter, he must be god” A cat says “he gets me food and shelter, I must be god” 😎😎
@@StigAviationMaybe the cats can do the brake rides! Train them with a laser pointer to release the brakes when asked by the ground crew and set squawk “1344” (cat in charge) 🤪🤪
Stig, if i could mainline your videos, I would!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!..... AI will never, ever be able to replicate your profession!! take heart in that fact!....I'm hoping to be able one day to impress a seatmate on a future flight with some nugget I gleaned from your videos!! Keep on keeping on, Stig! I appreciate you!!!-Leor
Stig going to be so happy, when he gets to work out of his new terminal! There's the Airbus noise makers lol. Were well supplied of oxygen here, there aint no doubt! Body is an insulator, and those discharge rods remove that static, shocking isn't it? Who turned out the lights HEHE? ATC tower has an amazing view, I want to eat food on the balcony and watch the planes takeoff/land. We all need lube to have fun, give that engine oil Stig, so she can be happy. It was really fun watching you change those wheels, I love the professionalism. When the bell rings, its time to break ride, lets go Stig, weeeeeeee.
@@StigAviation Yeah, I figured cause all metal conducts electricity. When you called the body and insulator, it made me think how the passengers and crew are kept insulated from the outer body. I just figured you were going for that approach. At any rate, these flying machines are a marvel of engineering.
Hey Stig! Great video as always. I always enjoy the walk through of everything you do both simple and complex. I feel I would go crazy dealing with things like the water service valve you had to manually manipulate. I did just want to let you know that I did take and pass my O&Ps for my general and airframe licenses. I'm still probationary, but I passed! I am so happy and pumped to keep going in school and learning for my powerplant license. Thank you so much for creating these videos and inspiring me to keep sticking through school because now I am really starting to really enjoy everything mechanic! Keep up the good work!
You are on your final step, finishing your journey of becoming an aircraft technician. Get that power plant license and these beautiful aircraft are waiting for you. Wishing you nothing but the best Dennis.
Hello stig, another interesting video & enjoyed the visit to the control tower, great views. Lovely weather there rain here in the UK. Keep up the great work from Stephen in the UK.
More good system explanations. An oil uplift anecdote, in my early line days in SYD Qantas engineers carried out the transit checks on Pan Am’s 747-100 aircraft with JT9D-3A engines, these engines used lots of oil. We would go to the aircraft with 24 quarts (tins) of oil and usually have to get more tins to fill the oil tanks. Originally JT9D’s had 7 gallon tanks which were quickly replaced with 10 gallon tanks. The sector the aircraft was operating was HNL to SYD, each engine took between 6 to 8 quarts each, that was usual for most JT9D’s. When Qantas got RR RB211-524C2’s the uplift for the same sector was about 2 to 3 quarts. Keep up the good work.
I entered Madrid tower once was a crazy experience. Cameras can’t describe the feeling what it’s actually like being up there. It was due to an opposition for ENAIRE I sadly failed the opposition by 1 test of 9 of the initial. ATC is very rough opposition at least in Europe it’s hard. Lucky during that journey my bro was also doing it and he ended up passing and now he’s controlling the south of Spain. He’s a route controller. I think I didn’t pass the opposition because it wasn’t meant to be. I always wanted to be a pilot and I think that’s my path. Thanks to this I have the upmost respect towards ATC
It’s nice to watch someone else do my job for a change 😂 I was wondering why you were changing them wheels! Also wish I had that valve core remover, looks more fun than needle nose pliers 😂 All the best from LHR, keep it up 🍻
Thank you my friend. Hope all is well at LHR. And here’s the link to the valve stem remover tool if you wish to purchase one for yourself pilotjohn.com/c/aircraft-gse/oxygen-nitrogen/tire-and-strut-service-tools/valve-core-removal-tool
53:36 talk about a perfect shot and transition! Stig, you could be a great film maker! Maybe make your own documentary about aviation maintenance someday.
STIGAMATIC !!! --> I’ve watched all 45 of your STIG SHIFTS, and I’m halfway through watching them AGAIN, love these videos! super-nerdy!! but I can honestly say that all I’ve learned about these ‘ADAROO’ or ‘ADIOS’ (or whatever its called) switches/devices is that it has THREE KNOBS, and apparently YOU are allowed to touch them LOL!! SO WHAT THE HECK ARE THEY??? AND WHY IS THERE 3 OF THEM?? thanks in advance! you rock! Wes/TAMPA
ADIRU. Air data inertial reference unit. This is how you align the aircraft for navigational data. It supplies the aircraft with air data, which is airspeed angle of attack and altitude and inertial reference, position and attitude. There’s three of them because you need redundancy.
I'm in Automotive so we use a new FLUKE 1507 for testing the insulation on our EV's and Hybrids on the HV cables, it will do 50-1000v . Very cool tool for sure.
That ATC tour was cool. In Anchorage they're supposed to start building a new tower I think next year and I don't know if they'll do a tour but it'd be cool even if they just showed the old tower.
Hey Stig, thanks for another great video. Im 49 yrs old, and some of my fondest memories were getting on airplanes when I was a kid. I totally remember PSA airlines with the smile painted on the front! 🫡
Wow this is fun to watch. I'm currently studying to become an electric train technican and I find it interesting how similar the aviation industry is to ours. Greetings from Sweden 😁
That type of oxygen mask actually came out after a tragic disaster that happened when a cargo aircraft I believe it was a Swiss air crash that the copilot couldn’t see because of the smoke in the cockpit so they devised this mask as a replacement. They also have a face shield that comes down from the top of the cockpit that is supposed to highlight all of the instrumentation in case of heavy smoke I don’t know if they have it implemented yet in every aircraft, but they did implement that particular style air mask in every commercial aircraft.
just applied to school in canada for AME.....i came from cars and know nothing about planes. i will be using these to learn more about the industry, thank you!!
Congratulations on starting a new chapter of your life and a new journey. I guarantee you are going to enjoy working on airplanes and learning about them a lot more than cars. Keep me updated. Let me know how it goes. Otherwise study well and ask questions.
Wow that is super cool I sure do enjoy that Tower video part of your regular video I am a subscriber to your channel keep up the good work and I'll follow you week by week😊
Hello there my friend just wanted to say that I think your videos are excellent and informative. I love the 777's you show. Your videos are succinct and yet extremely interesting. Your own enthusiasm comes across with spades. Keep up the good work and good to see such large Airports when living in a small village like mine (Scraptoft , Leicestershire, England 🏴

For the ESD wicks, I'd imagine the high resistance protects the wick and anyone who should come into contact with it from the extremely high voltages that can accumulate. I'd also imagine that planes also generally suck at being a capacitor, so you probably don't need to worry about discharge speed either
Excellent analysis and absolutely fantastic information. Thank you so much Tron.
Good morning stig I injoy information hopefully you have great weekends ❤downtime with fun 😂
Thank you so much, and I’m glad you enjoyed the video.
Omggg. This is the BEST aviation channel. I really love your content. I’ve learned so much from you.
Glad you enjoy it! Thank you for watching.
Proud to be an AME student
Love from India🇮🇳
@@MuhammedNishan.m keep up the great work. Cheers from LAX
Stiggy on a Tuesday? Oh yes, we are in for a treat! Time for the popcorn & learn new things!
A little bit early this week, I hope you enjoyed it
Oh I for sure did! Grabbed the popcorn & enjoyed every minute of this
Love the kitttys on your shoulders..😂 I have 5 of my own..love your videos. Very informative. Be safe stig!.
Thank you, I appreciate you watching! And yes my little fur babies 🐱. Love them so much.
@@StigAviation I’m with you Stig, I had a kitten for many years ❤
What’s the difference between cats and dogs?
A dog says “he gets me food and shelter, he must be god”
A cat says “he gets me food and shelter, I must be god” 😎😎
@@MyTopTalent technically they are my owners… I just pay the rent around here and get them food 🤣🤣🤣
@@StigAviationwell said 😊 they’re very kind to let you use the apartment once in a while 😉
@@StigAviationMaybe the cats can do the brake rides! Train them with a laser pointer to release the brakes when asked by the ground crew and set squawk “1344” (cat in charge) 🤪🤪
Awesome video as always see you on the next adventure.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it
The tower was amazing, what a view. What a responsibility ATC has though.
Directing air traffic and ground taxi traffic on the airport. It’s a fascinating career. You should look it up.
Stig, if i could mainline your videos, I would!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!..... AI will never, ever be able to replicate your profession!! take heart in that fact!....I'm hoping to be able one day to impress a seatmate on a future flight with some nugget I gleaned from your videos!! Keep on keeping on, Stig! I appreciate you!!!-Leor
Thank you for your kind words! And I’m so happy that you’re enjoying the educational aspect of it as well.
This teaches me more than me wandering around the hangar figuring things by myself haha
Glad it’s helpful. 🤙
What an incredible experience! I flew an A380 out of LAX to Australia back when they weren't very old. It was visceral! Keep up the great work!
That’s so awesome that you got to experience the 380, I personally have never flown on it. Hopefully one day I will.
Gooood morning! ❤️
Morning, hope you have a great day.
@@StigAviation thank you so much, and you! I enjoyed 2 coffees enjoying your work this morning!
I enjoy watching your channel, it gives me some really good insight into Aircraft maintenance. 🙏🙏
I’m glad I can help you understand the world of aircraft maintenance, thank you for watching
Amazing video, learned a lot from this vid specially from someone who started in this field🙌🏻
I'm glad it was helpful for you!
Stig going to be so happy, when he gets to work out of his new terminal! There's the Airbus noise makers lol. Were well supplied of oxygen here, there aint no doubt! Body is an insulator, and those discharge rods remove that static, shocking isn't it? Who turned out the lights HEHE? ATC tower has an amazing view, I want to eat food on the balcony and watch the planes takeoff/land. We all need lube to have fun, give that engine oil Stig, so she can be happy. It was really fun watching you change those wheels, I love the professionalism. When the bell rings, its time to break ride, lets go Stig, weeeeeeee.
I should’ve probably rephrase that more properly . Not more of an insulator, but more of a conductor.
@@StigAviation Yeah, I figured cause all metal conducts electricity. When you called the body and insulator, it made me think how the passengers and crew are kept insulated from the outer body. I just figured you were going for that approach. At any rate, these flying machines are a marvel of engineering.
Whoa. Great shot at 55:00. You can see the trucks level themselves before being retracted.
Yup. 👍. Pretty awesome right Nick
@StigAviation I don't think I've ever noticed that before. I'm pretty sure I remember you talking about it. But yeah, pretty awesome for sure!
@@nicklarson2571 i actually have talked about it before. Old video tho. I’ll bring it up again next time
@@StigAviation look forward to it!
Hey Stig!
Great video as always. I always enjoy the walk through of everything you do both simple and complex. I feel I would go crazy dealing with things like the water service valve you had to manually manipulate.
I did just want to let you know that I did take and pass my O&Ps for my general and airframe licenses. I'm still probationary, but I passed! I am so happy and pumped to keep going in school and learning for my powerplant license. Thank you so much for creating these videos and inspiring me to keep sticking through school because now I am really starting to really enjoy everything mechanic!
Keep up the good work!
You are on your final step, finishing your journey of becoming an aircraft technician. Get that power plant license and these beautiful aircraft are waiting for you. Wishing you nothing but the best Dennis.
Hello stig, another interesting video & enjoyed the visit to the control tower, great views. Lovely weather there rain here in the UK.
Keep up the great work from Stephen in the UK.
Many thanks for watching and enjoying Stephen
More good system explanations. An oil uplift anecdote, in my early line days in SYD Qantas engineers carried out the transit checks on Pan Am’s 747-100 aircraft with JT9D-3A engines, these engines used lots of oil. We would go to the aircraft with 24 quarts (tins) of oil and usually have to get more tins to fill the oil tanks. Originally JT9D’s had 7 gallon tanks which were quickly replaced with 10 gallon tanks. The sector the aircraft was operating was HNL to SYD, each engine took between 6 to 8 quarts each, that was usual for most JT9D’s. When Qantas got RR RB211-524C2’s the uplift for the same sector was about 2 to 3 quarts. Keep up the good work.
Those JT9 were notorious for that. If that thing was not leaking oil, then it was out of oil. 😂
and, I love your music bed...it's somehow perfect
Glad it’s a source of relaxation for you.
I entered Madrid tower once was a crazy experience. Cameras can’t describe the feeling what it’s actually like being up there. It was due to an opposition for ENAIRE I sadly failed the opposition by 1 test of 9 of the initial. ATC is very rough opposition at least in Europe it’s hard. Lucky during that journey my bro was also doing it and he ended up passing and now he’s controlling the south of Spain. He’s a route controller. I think I didn’t pass the opposition because it wasn’t meant to be. I always wanted to be a pilot and I think that’s my path. Thanks to this I have the upmost respect towards ATC
They are some incredible individuals, they have a very stressful job.
that was awesome stig thanks for the shift , A380 the flying building 😂
Glad you enjoyed it
It’s nice to watch someone else do my job for a change 😂 I was wondering why you were changing them wheels! Also wish I had that valve core remover, looks more fun than needle nose pliers 😂 All the best from LHR, keep it up 🍻
Thank you my friend. Hope all is well at LHR. And here’s the link to the valve stem remover tool if you wish to purchase one for yourself

Great you got to go up in the tower. In my pilot years I had several tower visits but none at a major airport like LAX. I love how you love your job!
It was a absolutely thrilling experience. Definitely a highlight in my career.
53:36 talk about a perfect shot and transition! Stig, you could be a great film maker! Maybe make your own documentary about aviation maintenance someday.
Wouldn’t it be funny if they actually let me make a movie?
🤣
Thanks for the tower tour. You prove that Professional people working together creat a beautiful symphony. God bless.
You said perfectly Richard. Thank you for watching God bless
STIGAMATIC !!! --> I’ve watched all 45 of your STIG SHIFTS, and I’m halfway through watching them AGAIN, love these videos! super-nerdy!! but I can honestly say that all I’ve learned about these ‘ADAROO’ or ‘ADIOS’ (or whatever its called) switches/devices is that it has THREE KNOBS, and apparently YOU are allowed to touch them LOL!! SO WHAT THE HECK ARE THEY??? AND WHY IS THERE 3 OF THEM?? thanks in advance! you rock! Wes/TAMPA
ADIRU. Air data inertial reference unit. This is how you align the aircraft for navigational data. It supplies the aircraft with air data, which is airspeed angle of attack and altitude and inertial reference, position and attitude. There’s three of them because you need redundancy.
Woot! #1! Stig, I was just there yesterday. Redeye back to MIA.
Hope you had a good flight
Brilliant and Fantastic 😊.
Thank you so much 😀
Another excellent video.Thank you Sir.
Thank you very much
Ratcheting screwdriver. Nice. Might just have to get one. Never have enough spare tools....
Got a Snap On one, and guarantee you it is one of the best tools I own.
Amazing 🤩❤
Glad you enjoyed it
Love your vid's like always be awsome dude, LET'S GO! 😎
Thanks a ton! Cheers 🤙
What an awesome video and awesome guy that works for American Airline truly a great worker . Thanks for sharing , I am a new subscriber
I’m glad you enjoyed it, and welcome to the channel! It’s a pleasure to have you here.
I'm in Automotive so we use a new FLUKE 1507 for testing the insulation on our EV's and Hybrids on the HV cables, it will do 50-1000v . Very cool tool for sure.
@@MayhemCanuck and they are Very expensive as well.
Many thanks from England.
My pleasure. Cheers from LAX
“Don’t worry I noticed it too” NOTHING GETS PAST THE TRAINED EYE OF STIG.
Love watching your videos, feel for you having to do everything one handed....perhaps you should get a chest mount😊
Working on it! Thank you so much for the recommendation.
That ATC tour was cool. In Anchorage they're supposed to start building a new tower I think next year and I don't know if they'll do a tour but it'd be cool even if they just showed the old tower.
It would not hurt to ask, most ATC towers are more than happy to give the public a view of the tower.
Brilliant!! Always look forward to your show Stig
Thank you for being here
The best teacher in the world and the best thing is that it s free thanyou teacher
Thank you 🙏
About to start school to be an Aircraft Mechanic, love your videos!
Wishing you all the best in school, study hard and remember to ask questions. You’re in for a grand adventure.
Hey Stig, thanks for another great video. Im 49 yrs old, and some of my fondest memories were getting on airplanes when I was a kid. I totally remember PSA airlines with the smile painted on the front! 🫡
Those were the days. I’m glad it brought you back Fond memories.
Wow this is fun to watch. I'm currently studying to become an electric train technican and I find it interesting how similar the aviation industry is to ours. Greetings from Sweden 😁
As always, cool videos!!! Thanks
Thank you for watching and enjoying.
Thank you Stig, your videos are always relatable, always heartfelt and always informative. Love your work my brother.
Thank you so much Paul, I appreciate you being here and thank you for enjoying the adventures with me
That type of oxygen mask actually came out after a tragic disaster that happened when a cargo aircraft I believe it was a Swiss air crash that the copilot couldn’t see because of the smoke in the cockpit so they devised this mask as a replacement. They also have a face shield that comes down from the top of the cockpit that is supposed to highlight all of the instrumentation in case of heavy smoke I don’t know if they have it implemented yet in every aircraft, but they did implement that particular style air mask in every commercial aircraft.
I do remember that incident, and I believe you’re right.
just applied to school in canada for AME.....i came from cars and know nothing about planes. i will be using these to learn more about the industry, thank you!!
Congratulations on starting a new chapter of your life and a new journey. I guarantee you are going to enjoy working on airplanes and learning about them a lot more than cars. Keep me updated. Let me know how it goes. Otherwise study well and ask questions.
Wow that is super cool I sure do enjoy that Tower video part of your regular video I am a subscriber to your channel keep up the good work and I'll follow you week by week😊
Happy you enjoy the tower views! 🤙
Hello there my friend just wanted to say that I think your videos are excellent and informative. I love the 777's you show. Your videos are succinct and yet extremely interesting. Your own enthusiasm comes across with spades. Keep up the good work and good to see such large Airports when living in a small village like mine (Scraptoft , Leicestershire, England 🏴
Thank you so much for watching and being here. I’m glad I can share my passion for Aviation with you and all.
Surprise Tuesday video, what a treat! That view from the ATC tower was incredible... best seat in the house! Great stuff!
Glad you enjoyed it!
