- On this episode of Mega Mechanics, it’s a multimillion-dollar balancing act at hangar 3 for licence aircraft maintenance engineer Steven, that requires brains, brawn and nerves of steel. One false move could see 6 tonnes of pure jet power come crashing down. Repairing worn bearings on a 550-tonne excavator arm would hardly be considered a boring job for fitter and turner, Paul. It takes over 24-hours of preparation to set up, and just 30 very tense seconds to do the job and install the part.
Across Australia, the wheels of industry turn 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. These machines are tough and the teams of people running them are even tougher. From deep underground, to high in the sky, these heavy metal marvels are essential to our daily lives. But, what happens when these massive machines break down? Teams of mechanics, engineers, fitters, and boilermakers step up to battle against tight deadlines, in some of the harshest working environments on the planet.

Uses drill bit to drill through stainless, sprays it with water to keep it from overheating then uses a plasma torch to cut other hole..... Priceless!!!!
I know a guy who was an officer in the USAF and got crushed by a falling jet engine during maintenance. The military patched him up and now he is working for DAPRA, salary, all kinds of benefits from the accident. He is well off but on medication constantly. Quite a dangerous job.
You can be a mechanic and an officer at the same time?
@@henrylawsky7172 He was an officer with a B.E. I think he may even had a master. I do not know what kind of duty you are referring to by a mechanic but I just guess jet engines may need an officer to do something with it. I was not in the USAF.
@@haharrr7018 yeah, I’m getting my bachelors degree and would have gone enlisted, because I want to be a aviation mechanic and use my degree. If I could be an officer and do that I could, but I thought officers were restricted to managing enlisted.
*_4:45_*_ "Got about an _*_inch_*_ to go."_
Well, well, _well!!_ An *_inch,_* you say?
Amazes me that all that thrust from the engine is transferred to the wing/airframe by just a few bolts.
Exactly my thought
My respect to the mechanics.
No doubt there!!👍
Funny fact is that the majority of engine problems happen with new and rebuilt engines shortly after they are installed. That's why most airlines usually just install one at time like they're doing here.
Wrong. One engine is swapped out so that there is always a lower time engine on the aircraft. Also when the engines time out you only need to replace one engine not two.
@@frankbutaric3565 Not entirely. Nothing is "Murphy-Proof" especially in aviation. If it can happen it usually will eventually. Lot better having just 1 quit than both of them inflight.
5:00 It's the Chieftain's tank music! Apparently it's Superstorm by Adam Drake and Tom Jenkins.
You noticed the older guys are clean shaven while the younger ones are all shaggy.
Young reckless drink after work and party on the weekends. Old have your life together have a nice life with a nice wife
@Chad Aries you flucking creep good thing she is your ex
They're doing a C-Check. That mechanic/engineer had already accumulated almost 2 decades of experience and has B1 EASA/FAA license and other rating trainings just to be authorized to dismantle that.
Tell us what u know about aerospace engineering
@@khalitiman5557 im not an aerospace engineer per se, but i am just a aircraft maintenance technician who has barely 2 years of work experience.
@@Joel-bj8om whats your salary
@@wheelfan100 I aint even a licensed AMT due to COVID19. My employment too in a MRO was stopped due to that virus.
@@Joel-bj8om but what's the salary for someone in that profession
The guys drilling the holes need a magnetic drill press or two. They might have to use Iron backer plates since the metal is stainless steel but it would go a lot faster.
which muppet uses a battery drill to make holes in stainless ? of course you get a mag base drill with cutting tools
Did you say use a mag base on stainless🤔
@@stevenkennedy3911 lol , shit that's right
304 stainless is ferromagnetic, 316 is not. Depends on which stainless steel alloy.
@@danhammond8406 Even if it is a magnetic stainless, that pulls way less than on carbon steel and it might not be enough. Plus the curved surface makes it tricky and because the stainless is so thick you can't really use a backer plate either. Its not an easy job but a cordless drill is definitely not the right tool for it. and doubly not at full rip just begging that stainless to work harden and make your life even worse
23:13 You aren’t supposed to loosen fasteners with a torque wrench; it will throw it out of calibration.
Holy shit he really did🤣🤣🤣🤣 I guess he doesn’t have a breaker bar like the rest of us
@@tylerjordan2953 Or I just a regular ratchet. I just expected better for something so critical.
@@MetrologyEngineer right🤨 I work on these all day long, the CF6, CFM’s, PW 4000’s etc and have never had to use anything bigger than a 3/8” breaker on any of em
@@tylerjordan2953 Very cool I’m sure that’s fun. I don’t work on anything more complicated than cars, but since I’m a mechanical engineer I understand how critical it can be for thinks to be properly torqued.
Some skilled mechanics in Australia shown here.
Yes sir!!
Everything about Qantas says "high quality." Which leads me to imagine that they most likely provide better pay/benefits than most any major carrier. Pilot's, mechnics/engineers. FA's. I'll almost bet that there isnt very high turnover. I wonder if they are all Aussies bc I'm sure they recruit the best worldwide.
Aussies, let me know. I'm just very curious.✈✈
I often forget people don't do this every week like I do
Do what
@@Outlaw_j84 Do this
Really enjoyed that, many thanks
hard work boys no sitting in front of the pc for these guys
Not called "Bushes" ....... there called "Bushings"....... 🤦♂️
amazing video!
14:58 I'm not a professional hole driller, but for Gods sake brother...you need a plug in drill at the VERY least !!
Why not a Mag-drill? Oh yeah, it's stainless. Actually, a good cordless battery drill is just as good, and safer.
Huge drag chute! Always thought the A3s were big. This one looks 3 times more!
Make like this more videos
Super interesting
At 8:55, why not just get an air tank and an air hammer?? Would prob cut the time in half instead of beating on it
Do all Aussies really say schedule like that? It's the only thing that bugs me about this show
A Little Life Left so do the english
Are they using a torque wrench to loosen the mounting bolts ?
It depends on the Maintenance manual call-out. Then and there only can they torque wrench it if the manual says so. Plus the maintenance manual has a sub-manual in order to be precise.
if use power tool when it is not instructed in the manual you can cause crack due to overpowered. even a small crack can lead to catastrophic failure in the air.
@@KG-du5rr if you used a powertool not prescribed in AMM and its corresponding specific maintenance manual, better say goodbye to your beloved job and your employers as well. Plus, you can be put to jail due to malpractice, when things go south.
These are all TECHNICIANS - NOT Engineers by US standards anyway.
@@Joel-bj8om Technicians follow the manual. Engineers WRITE the manual. That's the difference.
38:14??? Um gee guy's is this patch in the fiberglass fan shroud part of a "NEW ENGINE", oh ya mate no worries that is where my brother Billy Bob Brucknaggy did some target practice before we stopped him, he was just practicin for the upcomin wabbit season but not to worry we went down to the local autobody shop and got some fiberglass fixins and as you can see it is as good a new......plus ya cant see that from the passenger seats anyhow right mate?...Lol lol.
I think someone needs a magnetic bsae driil press
Why no mag drill !
Watching fr hongkong
There went the cheftian flashback. Thought it was a airbus tank for a second.
Watch out for those airbus engine bearings
I have a good experience with CF6-80 and Trent 700 engine removal and instalation....
Do they understand what I mean about an S turbine blade/wing?
How to make this machine
I haven't watch all of it but it is just 6 minutes planes,and the other heavy equipment??
because the titles is nerves of steels maybe
Those who put out the video does this "clickbait" title shit all the time. It gets the "viewership numbers up and helps the video get on to more peoples You Tube feed.
For instance, I watched a documentary about the USS Ronald Reagan..biggest carrier in existence. Well it turned out to be a video on "RIM-PAC" Naval exercises. It just so happened that the "flagship" for the huge number of participating ships from all over the world was...yep...the USS Ronald Reagan
CF6 is French assembled and core build by GE.
Pretty sure that is a torque wrench . . . .
Pretty sure there is no need to check torque on a fastener you're removing or is everything backward on the other side of the planet?
Strict attention to detail? Check out the use of that open ended wrench on a fluid line at 4:00🤦♂️
“Tradesperson” ? Really ? Have we gone that far.
It’s tradesman, just like a manhole cover.
When they show the guys taking the engine out of the plane why do they keep showing them torquing and tightening bolts and stuff wouldn't they just be losing it not torquing it. Time to check your b-roll guys
Guys i. thinking of starting A&P this May at Vaughn College of Aeronautics. NY. Is it good to start this career at the age of 33. I m in a great confusion.🤔🤔🤔🤔
it depends. How fast can you cope up learning new systems? plus can you take FAA license early?
If you are mechanically inclined, thorough and meticulous when needed you shouldn't have any problems. I know quite a few people who have done it in their early 30's up to 45ish. One of our best A&P's started when he was in his early 40's after a divorce. He does better work than a lot of the younger guys with twice the time on the job.
What type of planes are you looking to work on? I fly for a aerial spray company that does a lot of crop dusting and firefighting so we've got a diverse fleet of aircraft. Some of the guys do really well here and others don't. So deciding what type of operation is also key to making it work and there's all kinds of things from GA planes on up to the big boys. Have you thought about what types you want to work on? Lastly even with the crisis there's still a huge backlog in GA electronics shops.
@@southjerseysound7340 So you handle T.prop and T.shaft type aircrafts? and what are your ratings? AnP?
@@Joel-bj8om I'm a pilot with a little over 10,000 hours and also a CFI. Right now I'm current in the AT-802 on wheels and floats and the BAE-146-200. But with how things are going I don't know how long I'll remain current in the BAE because we did our sim work in Dublin and I don't think there's a Sim in the states. Over the years I've been fortunate to have flown quite an eclectic fleet of aircraft while I was building time to fly with the major airlines. But my time with a regional thankfully caused me to see the light. I started pulling banners in a Cub and Pawnee,patrolled powerlines and pipelines in a C206 and Maule M7 on big tires. I also spent some time in the Caribbean because of a girl where I flew a BN2 Islander, King Air's, Pilatus PC6 Porter and a PC12. I probably would've stayed, but a hurricane put the stop to things there and I took a job flying a Dash 8 and then a CRJ-200 for a regional. Thankfully I realized that the airlines weren't for me and I started working for a aerial spray company flying air tractors and loved it. When the company I work for now purchased the company they kept me on and I was flying the 802's and Aero Commander at first before I got in the BAE-146.
I actually don't have my A&P yet but I'm about to go for it myself pretty soon because I just turned 40 and if I lost my medical I'd be up a creek without a paddle.
@@southjerseysound7340 Wow. Im a trainee at Lufthansa Technik, currently taking Powerplant Rating license. No wonder you have such in-depth idea on how to answer the question. May my fellow AMT and AME keep you safe sir to rack up more flying hours👍
After watching the quantis engine R&R I will definitely for 100% sure NOT be flying with them ever for any reason.
I really like these Spark things, but every time the engine removal crew is shown removing things they are actually tightening bolts. At one point I can hear the torque wrench clicking. Yeah, editors, but still......
Maybe they are just editing it out I hope.
Chieftain inside the hatch music anyone?
As far as I can see, no one did work in any confined space.
The mud filter or whatever was open in both ends, holes large enough for grown men to enter.
That is not a definition of confined space, that is definition of bull shit.
you'll be surprised at whats legally a confined space. its not up to the bosses in most cases
Would love to change a cf6 with that equipment. Sucks to do it outside on ice with rusty hoists while riding a shitty engine stand that’s attached to the shittiest bootstrap kit that’s just made from a bucket of left overs. If that sounds fun come to the U.S....
สวัสดีครับ
Engine nose cowl? You mean engine inlet cowl.
Air inlet Duct?😂
Wrong
23:15 why did they use a torque wrench for removing engine mount hardware? As well as inappropriate methods of not using the proper fulcrum point of the handle?
👍
Foreman says the bore tool is like a lathe except the tool is spinning rather than the part.. Soooo then its more like a milling machine then.......
you can line bore with a lathe with the part mounted on the lathe carriage. The boring bar with cutting tool is mounted between the headstock and tailstock.
@@toma5153 I happen to have a machine shop in my garage. I have a 15X44 gap head lathe and I do a lot on it. Some things a mill is needed. Im going to be indexing a drill spindle on the lathe rather than the milling machine.
Make a cargow ship
The mechanics work out the bugs and let them know what they did wrong
They are very lucky.. because the aircraft is not on jack-up..
We're 10 minutes into the video and still havent seen anything about a "Dangerous Repair At Sugar Mill"
Eh going to find something else to watch
too many repeats,once is all u need
i get this is a tv show, but i really hate how a single job is seperated so much through the show. I only care about the Airbus engine replacement
Exactly why they do it
We have call our planes serviced in China.
No good it bard
.............for the narrator/ translator : stop exaggerating. Please?
The intro alone is so long; i done moved on.
No such thing as clean coal.
After watching them R&R that engine, I can say for sure I will never fly with them.
Vjbjj
l HAVE ALREADY SEEN THIS MONTHS AGO ???
