  • Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, and this is probably the longest video I have ever made ever, this is a compilation of my daily duties throughout the day that I usually post on Instagram with stories, but I felt the need to share this with you. I want you to see what we do.
    Feel free to leave any feedback and comments as you wish but this is the first time I’m doing this and I’m actually asking your opinion, let me know if you actually enjoyed this type of imagery and content, because I can provide it a lot more.
    Otherwise, thank you all for supporting and watching and being kind hearted to aircraft maintenance, it takes a lot of work to do this, so I appreciate you being here and learning and watching
    Till next time you’re truly
    Stig 🤙

    I am a retired AAL B-777 captain. Knowing that the technicians, working on my plane, had your positive attitude and loved your job this much made it possible to sleep at night. I flew Airbus (A319-320-321) for 19 years and Boeings (737, 757, 767, 777) for 15 years. I loved them all. The 777 was the most capable airplane I ever flew. I could take of from Dallas, fly 17 hours to Hong Kong, and still have 2+ hours of fuel on board. Thanks for taking such good care of all of us.

      If you’re a student you’re not even close to a a and p mechanic. Don’t call yourself a amt. No one uses that term and you’re only saying to make yourself look good. If you can pass both test them I’m proud of you. But until then you’re just a nobody to a real airframe and powerplant mechanic. I can’t tell you how many idiots I’ve had to deal with over the years who weren’t a&p. If you’re planing on doing this work get a nice reliable electric drill that’s light. Saved my life and I’ll never forget using a screw driver my first week with my carry toolbox 😂 I did heavy maintenance for delta, United and boarder patrol. Being stuck in a crj700 hell hole for 20 mins with all avionics running is definitely an experience. Like being born again as an adult

    Aircraft engineers are on another level of genius. Something as simple as putting one rivet in I’ve seen the process. It takes like a solid minute or two. There are like 7 steps for one rivet. I looked at some schematics of a prop plane I think, to see how they designed it to fire in a barrel is just incredible. Amazing stuff I wish I was that smart

    My favorite part is when you said how the biggest thing about being a mechanic is being a troubleshooter, that's exactly it turning wrenches is a quarter of the job. Been a diesel mechanic for 20 years and I spend more time scratching my head than turning wrenches most of the time. Although I have much respect for you guys because I can imagine what it's like trying to troubleshoot one of those birds. Great videos man best wishes.

    Just found your channel and watched this and loved it. I'm an engineering tradesman (not aviation) but have been involved in flying and aircraft restoration so was geeking out. Air New Zealand dabbled in doing BBJ fit outs on the 737. Back in around 2015 or so at their engineering base they had a brand new 737 sitting in a hangar which I was lucky to be allowed to view. It was owned by a Russian Oligarch(probably spelled that wrong!) and it flew from the factory with no interior apart from the cockpit seats! Air New Zealand designed the custom interior which inclued a double bed with a mirror on the ceiling........I kid you not. I got to see the same clean undercarriage bay since she had obnly done maybe five landings? Anyway great video!

    • @StigAviation
      @StigAviation  Před 7 měsíci +1

      The rich will always splurge on their aircraft as always, I have seen many of those types of aircraft. In the old school days, I even saw a classic L 1011 with gold plated delivery across its side, and the interior was almost fit for a king probably was.

    My first job, 24 years ago (makes me feel old), was on a company doing passenger->freiggter conversion on DC-10s and Md-11s, also doing maintenance on 707 AWACS. Believe it or not, after 20+ years, when J get onboard of a plane, I think on how many turnbucles there would be under my feet and I look around myself like a kid in the kindergarden. I believe aviatiom is one of those fiels which gets down in your soul. And I also do believe you deserve MORE (much more) followers on your channel! Keep on going! :-)

And I truly appreciate you for the kind words and wishes… I don’t much look at followers or numbers.. as long as one person can take away some information and quench their thirst for knowledge.. then I did my job right.

    so that would mean the EBAs are supplying 50% force to the brakes with the parking brake set?

      Good question! I discovered the bolt because as I was doing my walk around, I noticed damage on the brake fan itself, so I investigated further, which led me to finding the broken tie bolt. It’s all about attention to detail. The brake works much like your car disc brake, there is a piston that pushes on the discs. An aircraft you have multiple pistons on rotary stacked discs.

    GOD I MISS WORKING ON JETS !! 8 1/2 years in the Navy as an Aircraft Electrician and I got to work on both jets and props so I was fortunate but anyone that has never worked on or around jets will never understand how aviation gets into your blood !! Being on the flight deck of an Aircraft Carrier was the coolest experience of my life and nothing will ever compare. I may go get involved with volunteering up at Oshkosh to maintain older Aircraft and for the EAA Oshkosh Airventure Airshow so I can be around working on Aircraft again !! Thanks for sharing your daily adventures and keep on sharing and posting man cool channel bro !!!!!

    • @StigAviation
      @StigAviation  Před 7 měsíci

      First of all, thank you so much for your service, from what I understand aircraft carrier deck is the most dangerous place on earth and probably the most exciting. That would be an awesome experience if you got to work on those old birds at Oshkosh. I definitely need to go out there to experience it myself one of these days.

    Non-googled guess about EBA is that it stands for Electric Brake Actuator, there are four of those per wheel, and they can be individually set to apply a percentage of max possible force. Maybe it´s an upper limit since I´m assuming that the brake force is modulated depending on autobrake settings and of course how much the pilot pushes on the brakes. I´ll now check the other comments to see how much off target I was. :D
    Edit. Hey, not too far off target! So the value shown is the actual amount applied at any time? And it shows 50% due to the parking brake being applied? That leads to a question back from me. From what I understand hydraulic parking brakes are released when chocks are in place. Are electrical brakes kept on at all times, or was there another reason for having the parking brakes applied on this plane?
    Love your enthusiasm and style of video!

    I believe that you enjoy your job so much because you have a good heart Those closer to God are simply happier people. We're all made in the image and likeness of our Designer, it's just that most aren't aware of that fact because they're victims of the modern age. We've been programmed since birth that we evolved from monkey-fish-frogs, and it simply isn't true. As we become more aware of who we are, we become more aware of Who He is. ❤

    My favorite line maintenance job was in the Australian Airforce at 2FTS. 2FTS was the main training Squadron for guys, and now gals off the street and turning them into pilot's ready to go off to other squadrons for their next aircraft type. We had 60 flights a day in three batches. So we would launch 20 aircraft pretty close together, then sit around the crew room talking shit and drinking coffee for about 1.2 hrs until they all came back. We would then refuel them and do a "turnaround service" and shortly after launch them again. After the third batch of sorties we would do an "after flight" inspection and put them to bed. The day was full of comradery/banter with your mates, instructors and students....it was a great time.

The bonds we form alongside each other while we work is priceless. I want to say thank you for your service at the Australian Air Force. And I’m sure your comrades hold you in high regard. Hold on to those good moments in life and keep enjoying Aviation.

    Your 100% correct, if there is 1 addiction I’ve picked up from aviation it’s coffee. I drink coffee all day long. Aviation runs on coffee!
    I share your love of aviation and this job. I’m blow away every day that I get to work on the airplanes, walking around the airplane puts a big smile on my face everyday!
    Love the 787, it’s an amazing aircraft, my favorite I’ve worked so far, truly an amazing piece of engineering!
    EBA Force is the percentage of brake pressure each Electromechanical Brake actuator is applying to the brake pads. You have 4 indications because there are 4 EBA motor/actuator assembly to each MLG brake assembly. 50% brake pressure indicates you have the parking brake set.

    I graduated amt school back in May, had my full A&P at the end of July. Working at a repair station at a smaller airport. Loving every day. Working mostly citations, gulfstreams, learjets, and king airs. Potentially some pilatus’ soon. Currently working on the nose tires of a citation X. So cool how each plane is different yet so similar. Videos like this make me almost want to quit and go to line maintenance for some sort of airline.
