Videos like that never disappoint, by the way I didn't know there were spark plugs in the APU.
It's a miniature jet engine. Jet engines all have igniters to set off of the combustion :) If you listen carefully, you can hear the "tick-tick-tick-tick" of them as an engine starts (not from inside the plane of course).
@@bmused55 appreciate the explanation
Every engine needs a device like this because the fuel must be ignited somehow. I know that diesel doesn't have spark plugs but they have glow plugs 🙂
Thanks! You emphasize ignitor plugs lately . 😊
So clean APU bay!
It will be the last ignition video for a longer period of time 🤣
@zeto.r ,nevermind . And Ignition videos are interested.
Very cool to see, please make more videos like this!
Thank you for your feedback, it is in progress.
You guys are the hardest jobs there is , yes thank you , you made us feel safe for flying , good jobs 👍👍👍
This is the reason why I'm showing all this, to show people that we working hard to keep them in good shape so people don't need to be afraid to fly🙂
Awesome, thank you for the video! Nice to see such a video on LOWW.
We are working hard but it takes a lot of time to record so nobody is really doing it
Thank you for the video! I got a job as an aviation mechanic and I watched this video to help me. I actually never go to school, please post more videos so I can fix plane. I need this job
Boeing use the same method to build them
I really hope this guy is joking… always follow your AMM than relying on you tube videos 💀
Thank you mate. Don't forget to always use AMM, and never rely on videos 😉
Boeing employee
Maybe you should have gone to school.
A job i have always fancied doing,impressive work.
Thank you but most of the time it is team work🙂
Great video. Love the detail.
Thank you
Thank you, brilliant! I used to have a Zetor tractor from the Czechs, excellent engineering!
My nickname is based on it Zeman Tomáš +r😁
The area the APU resides looks quite spacious and actually accessible 👍
You can take a look at my video on how to replace APU and you will see how much space is there🙂
Thanks for sharing such knowledge and experience appreciate
My pleasure 🙂
Nice Work !!
Thank you
Great content very interesting subscribed
Thank you it means a lot for me
thanks for the tutorial
My pleasure 🙂
dobr robota
Ďakujem
Wow super interesting. Always wondered how the APU looked like. Much smaller than I imagined. Many thanks. The igniter plug, is it like a glow plug or like a spark plug?
Take a look at this video: czcams.com/video/V6FQ8VrR3yU/video.html
where you can find how to replace it.
And it works as a spark plug I have also a video about that. 🙂
Great video. I like you have "fenix" written on the head band. That is the A320 I fly in MSFS 🙂I see you comment about the "tick tick tick" sound when starting the APU. I didn't know it came from these two plugs. Thanks for uploading.
Actually it is a brand of headlight, I have a video about it on my channel 🙂. Well almost all my videos are about A320 so take look🙂
We got back from Jamaica to the UK on Monday but after all the problems an Manchester airport when we going out and then the hurricane the tui dream liner after star up which did not sound right to me the was a problem and after 4 engineers and a system check 2h later we got away it's the first in the years I have traveled by air this has happened but in my time I have been driving me cars have had problems and a few brake downs it just proves how you guys look after the aircraft we travel in
I may be wrong but Im pretty sure in the reference manual it does mention to not apply never zeez to the threads that contacts with the ignition lead cause it will cause damage at least for me I work on 737 and it mentions it
yes this is bad on amphenol connectors
It is applied on the outer side of the igniter plug, there is no possibility of getting in touch with contacts
It is applied on the outer surface of the plug there is no chance of getting in touch with contacts. And for your better sleep I checked it again and it is in AMM 😉
@@zeto.r anti seize gets on my pillow. trust nothing with anti seize
@@zeto.r i donno this stuff goes everywhere yout want it including your pillow
Extraordinary videooo, this kind of maintenance task is amazing. Is it performed by B1 or B2 technician?
I'm only B1 so there you have your answer 🙂
Awesome. I would have loved to see the powering down of the airplane.
On Airbus it is easy and you can see it all around 🙂
VIE/LOWW
Best airport 🙂. Thank you
@@zeto.r ja bitte gerne ;-))) I go there plane spotting 🙈👍
Awesome vid. Does using that adapter for the torque wrench on the plug/wire nut not cause a different torque to be applied from the one set? If so does the manual used to get the torque values already adjust for this adapter?
This is a small value and the extension is a solid piece of metal but in case of a bigger value, of course, you must calculate the value. Especially you must calculate the torque when you move away from the center line with the extension
I change the igniter plugs in all my a320s this way
Being an auto tech for 17 years I see I made a career mistake. My ‘69 Mustang 428 took about 2 hours to change plugs you couldn’t even see. Just pulling the plug wires your knuckles were banged up & destroyed not to mention what your back felt like. Aviation is the way to go! BTW, using an extension on a torque wrench changes the actual torque but probably still close enough.
Take a look at my PW1100G plug replacement. If you don't have a proper tool you have no chance to replace them 😁
Wow! I never knew Austrian had an A320 with a HUD!
They are ex-Air Berlin aircrafts
@@zeto.r Ah I see, that makes sense
What 360 camera are you using? The low light capabilities are pretty good
It is old go pro max 🙂
super cool just wondering how did you get into aircraft maintenance i am looking for the same career and any advice would be a lot of help
I'm living my father's dream, he pushed me towards this from the child, so there was no other option for me 😁
@@zeto.r kinda lucky good pay and week respected job
What is the stuff you are putting on the threads? and why do you put it?
It is called never-seez and it is a lubricant designed for industrial applications requiring non-destructive assembly and disassembly where combinations of high loads, high temperatures and low speeds are encountered to reduce friction during the assembly of press-fit components. It holds but it prevents to get stuck
It seems universal that no one has faith in their torque wrenches to stop at the first click.
It is old habit of mine to go always 2x
Do the igniter need to be changed weekly?
For sure no. But what is interval, I'm not sure but it is several months
If your plane isn’t connected to ground power or APU how long do the batteries last?
We are using them only for the start of APU or pilots can use them during an emergency situation, until RAT is deployed or APU started. If you forget them they will be depleted in few hours
He looks so much like misha charoudin. Might as well be his brother who works on jets
Nope I'm from Slovakia, I even had no idea who he is.
@@zeto.r he’s a racing driver who makes videos on the Nurburgring
@@valinaarvokun5259 good to know thank you 🙂
Shouldn't the torque wrench and crowfoot be 90 degrees angle to have the right amout of torque? And what about using anti-seize in combination with the torque wrench? In the production-industries its a no no.. just asking out of curiosity.
Or else you should be using a formula to convert the torque from lets say 45 degrees.
You need to calculate if you are not at 90°. Regarding anti-sieze, It is required by the manufacturer, most probably as a prevention against stuck due to temperature expansion
Why were the plugs replace? A specific maintenance interval or a fault?
As far as I remember it was troubleshooting
no security seals on the panels after closing ?
It is necessary to apply seals only on panels which are reachable from the ground which is not this case🙂
No more laps on the Nürburgring?
😂😂 only realized after reading this comment
Why?😀
@@zeto.r you look like Misha Charoudin! He's a race car driver. Anyways great content man!
@Metaxoid thank you for the explanation 😁
glad to hear that i'm not alone who thought that it's Misha😆
Is this task done by B1 or B2 technician?
same question
@jjjjj0500 , I 'm B.1 . I have never seen avionics guy to change ignitor plugs.
I'm B1 so you have your answer. Too dirty for B2
@@zeto.r Depends on company mate :))) i was B2 avionic engineer and man .. many times i got dirty 🙃😊😁 but yeah never changed APU plugs , anyway great to see someone showing this on youtube 👍
Almost like service on a motorcycle .... engine .... ;-)
Well it is similar 🙂
@@zeto.rYep, and thanks very much for uploading this very interesting video!
@AcysLounge my pleasure 🙂. There are several videos about ignition on my channel 😀
Why all APU turbo shaft engines are using?
Because they are here to drive the generator and compressor. They don't need to provide trust 🙂
APU = small jet engine?
Auxiliary power unit, which provides power/air pressure to start main engines.
Yes it is but it has the function of a supporting device, which means that it provides electricity and air supply for the engine to start and air-condition
is camera moved by someone or some ai sh$t do it for him?
it's a 360 degree camera, view positioning is done in editing to select the frame of view. Some of the movement is motion stabilization. Software can be used to set a reference to follow
I presume you’re watching this video for entertainment purposes from the lack of technical knowledge; 360° cameras can be edited in a way that modulates which lense/cam is viewed from.
I'm using GoPro Max which is 360, it is a lot of work in post-production but I can forget about camera and focus only on work
No apu oil shower 😂strange strange
We are trying to keep our APU without leaks 😂
imagine ryanair engineer just watching this video before changing plugs xD how we do this if we want to change something in our car :D
Well, you can use it but I will never tell values, so in the end you must take a look in the manual 🙂
@@zeto.r yes but what I mean by that is, at least how i think, if you are engineer, you are supposed to know how to do this and if you are given a task, you shouldnt be watching youtube tutorial on how to do this :) unless you are doing something for the first / second time
🤷♂️ehrlich jetzt kennt ihr viele Leute die sowas interessiert 🤔😂😂
Gloves too big for those jobs, areas are very clean !
