What Really Goes On Inside The Grounded Planes and Engineering?

- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- With so many aircraft being grounded during the COVID pandemic, in this video I discover the answer to how do airlines store and re-activate airplanes? I asked Etihad Engineering about the work required to store an airplane, protect the plane from heat, humidity, sand and dust; I also inquired into the processes involved in bringing a stored plane back to service.
Then I took a tour of the Etihad Engineering hangar, observing how the maintenance is carried out. A lot of behind-the-scenes repair and maintenance work goes on in the hangar. Finally, I visited the airline workshop; to see how they manufacture and repair seat covers, engine covers, toilet doors and bulkhead panels. A lot of work is carried out to make sure the planes are well maintained.
I asked a few questions on the future outlook of aviation engineering and the entry requirements for a person looking to get into aviation engineering.
Finally, I would like to thank all the hard-working ground staff and engineers during the pandemic; their work didn't slow down (it actually increased) making sure that aviation remains safe and that standards are being maintained.

As an engineer myself it’s great to see us finally get some mainstream exposure that most people will always forget about! Great video
Massive respect for all the engineers working to keep our aeroplanes safe for everyone.
It's so interesting to note that how innovative Sam has been getting with his content even in these uncertain times!
Unravelling the nittie-gritties of an aircraft and a million small elements that go into a making of an aircraft, the finer aspects that we often tend to overlook while flying normally otherwise!
Thanks for the amaze coverage in this video!
Thank you so much of your appreciation. I believe the content should be balanced. There are still so much in aviation I haven't covered. Lots on my to do list.
@@SamChui How's the flying going ? Do you have any opportunity to advance your training in Dubai ?

Show great respect to these engineering guys behind the scene all over the world during this hard time. Thank you all. As a pilot feeling safe to fly again.
Sam's video is always my greatest therapy after a long and tiring work. It's great that you are able to keep uploading new videos to keep us entertain during this hard time for almost all industries because of the pandemic. Can't wait for the air travel to open up and travel to make travel vlogs soon. Stay safe and healthy, Sam
Thank you for such encouraging words! Hope we all get to enjoy aviation and travel again soon!
This is why I love your channel. You always take a deep dive into all things airplanes. This video was very interesting and teaches one a heck of a lot. I hope all these birds get off the ground flying soon! 🤞🏼🛫
Thank you Michael. I love the varieties in aviation. Engineering deserve more coverage.
@@SamChui sam me too
Sam Chui is one of my fav you tubers. But he’s not only a RUclipsr............. he’s an idol. I’m an Aviation enthusiast and he has taught me everything
🌍🌎🌏🎂
That was insane, the huge workload involved is otherwise unimaginable. Thank you for showing us behind the scenes!
We take good care of our planes, the most supreme care of course
Kim Jong-un that is why they are grounded for 6 months in a year. Mind buying new aircraft?
hahahahahaa
My heartfelt salutations to the supreme leader of north korea for keeping your planes well and also keeping your country free from plandemic corona.
Isee you everywhere lol
Hello Supreme leader! Most glorious master of all
Nice to see more unique aviation content from you! Your videos allow us to see behind the scenes experiences! Love your video editing skills too!
Immediately watched your video when the notification fron your channel comes! You are an inspiration for many #avgeeks
Thank you for your support Justin!
Hi
Sam: How many *hours* does it take to bring it back to service
Engineer: Its takes *3-4 days* 😅
@Thomas Boersma said*
No one likes grammar police.
🤣🤣🤣3 to 4 days working 24 hours a day
Underestimated, also thought about hours haha
10 people 3 shifts for 3-4 days correct
Dear Sam... you are a true motivational.... i am first generation traveling in flight...I travelled in Etihad for the first time as my international travel... that too in Business class what a wonderful experience.... keep up... we will meet soon if time permits... hats off...
i really commend the workers at these grounding sites. they first wrap, then 30 days later they fully unwrap, then test, and finally rewrap the whole plane again.
i hate wrapping presents so this is a nightmare of a process :(
World Leading MRO Etihad Engineering,
One stop for all Aircraft maintenance solutions
I am proud to work as an Aircraft Technician in Etihad Engineering
I'm a newly qualified aircraft engineer and covid could not had come at a worst time for me with many people laid off, and barely employment opportunities. But i know Aviation will go from strength to strength💪
This is what makes your channel unique. You go deep into aviation details rather than doing only flight reviews. Hope all aircrafts are back in the sky soon
Sam, as someone who works in the industry, and a big proponent of STEM education, thanks for these very insightful videos!
_It's very very expensive to mothball a commercial jet, and not just maintaining the storage, but bringing the aircraft back into full flight status. Great channel Sam._
Sam, I always enjoy your content. But this went above and beyond. Instead of showing this as the end of the line for aircraft being stored, you showed it as a positive transition. Not doom and gloom (Quantus 747). Thank you for insipring next generation engineers as well.
Brilliant presentation!
It’s a wonder how any airlines survive with this type of insane detail and cost.
No matter how good they wrap the plane something will happen. They’re made to use.
You are perfectly correct. The detail inspections called for in these 'return to service' checks can often lead to findings that will require more work, and or replacement of very expensive parts. The covering/blanking of every orifice on the airplane is carried out to prevent birds and insects from building nest in them so after removing the covers we have to check very closely and purge the openings and then function the systems to make sure that they operate normally.
There are different kinds of fluids in the plane that needs checking and maybe replacement too, and that includes the fuel in the tank. Fuel tanks are never left empty and dry as this will lead to deterioration of the sealants that lined the insides of the tank. Thats almost wing tip to tip!
Thanks Sam. Great video, very educational. Really sad how new airplanes may be retired due to rust etc. Again, we have to stand strong through this time.
Engineering needs more attention and more coverage. Hope sam will cover it in future 👍👍
Sam this is the greatest video you have ever created. Absolutely astonishing. A massive credit and respect for Ethihad to give you the insight! Just brilliant! ✊🏽
As a aeronautical engineer myself
Thank you for making such vidoes and expecting more in future
Other aviation Vlogger: Only vlog videos about boarding flights with the luxury of First and Business class in any airlines
Sam Chui: Vlog everything and get an education about the aviation materials
You're such a unique aviation vlogger I have ever seen, Mr. Chui. So pls DO NOT stop and keep making more great videos. You're always a most respectable legend ❤❤❤❤❤❤🥰🥰🥰🥰
this type of video content are way more better and informative than those mainstream media.. thanks Sam for this awesome content in aviation. 👍🏻💯
Hi Sam been following you for years absolutely love your channel can’t wait to see what this video has to offer

Another fantastic video Sam it’s great to see the people behind the scenes who look after these planes
I've never seen a similar behind the scenes video. Thanks for sharing the mammoth engineering that goes behind the scenes.
It's very humid in the middle east? I always thought it was a dry desert heat. very interesting! Thanks Sam!
They are by the sea.
Mostly all countries in the middle east are by the sea, so..
Sam, it is a very good and informative content, how the aircraft maintained during grounded in pandemic situation. Even there are some maintenance that had been done in normal condition, like changing the toilet door...and you also put about the future of airlines for every young people. Well done Sam!👍👍🙏🙏🙏
Sam you find one unique thing after another that no other aviation blogger seems to get to and you get to do amazing things. Please keep up the good work sir and God bless.
Very nice and informative video Sam. Usually a common man doesn’t get chance to see these engineering makeovers. Keep it up good work👍
Happy to see how aircraft maintenance engineers works during covid-19 , they all are unsung heroes.....
So sad to see, but really enjoyed this. Let’s pray they get back to flying very soon!
Agree
Amiin
I am agree with you
Amen
Most of them Might not see the clouds again
Great work Sam. It is a good time you start another channel exclusively to cover the engineering aspect of aviation to motivate the youth. Stay safe. Stay blessed.
Thank you Sam for this video. Aviation is lot more. This is real backstage hope travelers appreciate!
Thanks for doing this video, I was wondering what went into the storage of aircraft during this time. As I suspected a great deal of maintenance required to keep them in a fit state to fly. Loved the dive in to the routine maintenance programmes too! Brilliant as always 👍
Your channel and videos have been the main drive for me to do aeronautical engineering. Fortunately I'll be learning about it next year
This was fascinating, and yet a bit sad. I hope that soon these aircraft will be back in the air. Thank you for this behind the scenes look, it certainly brings appreciation to the hard work and dedication of so many.
Thanks mate, 100% better then last weeks crap video you uploaded, looking forward to next Saturday video
Sam as of Sept over 15 different 787-9's have arrived at Bangalore airport as flight ey216 . Great to see these planes back and running
I want to become an aeronautical engineer...thanks for the vid
Castle Gaming Do it, you won’t regret it. It’s the most wonderful job in the world.
@@aerorobots6678 that's why I had chosen it...I thought being a pilot wouldn't be enough from me
Stop watching RUclips.....start studying and working hard
@@LukmanHakim-fq7lw yes I think I must now...
I just got a mechanical engineering degree. It's fucking hard but completely doable.
Way to go Sam!
Your job is out of this world, one of a kind!
Really looking forward to see planes where they should be again!
Fascinating video, Sam. Just finished watching your catering video as well. So much going on in the background. It's opened my eyes to a whole new world of aviation. Good stuff. Thank you.
Etihad,Both plane and seats are GOLDEN
Interiors work shop, design, execution testing under one roof good job
The landing gear are wrapped up to avoid dust getting in, but there's a 20cm gap at the bottom?! Dust could easily get in that way! An interesting video nonetheless cheers.
I want to make my own airline because of the inspirational videos Sam Chui makes!!! Keep it up, Sam!!
Sam, I love every single one of your videos. Being an corporate A&P Flight tech, I appreciate this video more than you can imagine. I am going to link to this on our Facebook page!!! Thank you!!
Aircraft Mechanics the Backbone of the Airlines indu. 🇵🇭
5:02 First time to see the real-world FMC message "NAV DATA OUT OF DATE." It's what that I've always seen in the flight simulator....lol
JPK yep, me too.
Love it when Sam uploads behind the scenes operations. Quite fascinating to watch. Ty Sam
Thanks Sam for showing us all these things you never see of the aviation world.
really happy to see coming back normal
Sam , Those were cargo side wall panels, they are designed to contain fires within the cargo compartment. There can be no rips or holes in these panels.
WELCOME BACK SAM AND THE AIRLINES WE ARE GOING BACK TO FLY AGAIN
Great show Sam!! It would have been great to have such information back when I was young. Hope this inspires the younger generations.
It's scary..... Everything has stopped......It's like world is without humans
Sam I love your channel good work with the subs hope u are safe 🤗
Hi Sam you are my favorite youtuber.You are the only youtuber who always go behind the scenes and give us a overview .. Thanks much for all your efforts ❤️❤️❤️❤️.Lots of love from India
The maintenace crews are the most interesting part of this channel.
The time, effort and cost of doing all this. Amazing video Sam!!
Love these Vids Sam :) Makes us all appreciate flying more all the hard work going on in the background.
Superb documentary Sam. Thanks.
I’ve always been interested in what happens to airplanes when stored or retired.
I really like your videos Sam. Love how you share behind the scene experiences.Don't stop😎
11:40 / This is repairing a toilet door, my gosh, aaa, let me take a photo, very interesting.
Influencers have peaked once again
🤣
No greetings no introduction just taking a look and a photo at the working robot
@James Aston A 'shitter'? Such intellectual verbiage; who's the knuckle-dragger here? FYI, it's called a lavatory in the aerospace industry.

Great behind the scenes video Sam! I’m a mechanical engineer, so I really enjoy this stuff.
Interesting for me would be:
1) Potential impact on the tyres during the expected stand still? (need to be inflated, changed afterwards?)
2) Planning assumption to prove it makes sense storing planes although their value is rapidly declining
LOL that oversized desiccator bag - it's like those sachets you're not supposed to eat in chip bags, but hundreds of times bigger.
One of your most interesting videos Sam. Really eye opening. Thanks for sharing.
First time entertained us about new information on maintanance..love frm tamilnadu india
Those are vertical sidewall linings for Left hand side forward cargo compartment, instead of using to cover the cargo pallets
4:23 Thought someone had taped a space-themed image over the cockpit windows before realizing those are just holes in the cover.
Aren't they supposed to move the plane a few inches every day? This is so tyres do not wear out in parking? This whole COVID is such a mess, planes are meant to fly. What a nightmare it is for the airline industry. So sad !!! Thanks for sharing.
@Sam ! I would personally like to thank you for what you do by making these incredible video's! You have gotten me in loving AIRPLANES! I have not flown on an Air Plane! Since 9/11.
Thank you my friend !
I have been there, crazy hot and crazy humid. I lived over there for work for about three months. Beautiful and cool it its own way...but so much sand all the time, so much brown lol
Hiiii Sam. We all have been following you for years. We all absulatly love your channel.
We all are waiting for more videos of this channel....
Thanks for bringing us along, Sam. That was very interesting!
Great job Sam. That is good information to know how well a company care for their equipment.
WONDERFUL TOUR... THANKS!
Its good to know that the protection actions are repeated every 30 days coz the ductape will get loose. No humidity but lots of wind and sand. Hopefully it doesent penetrate the engines from any side. Otherwise BIG problems when require for re use again.
Wow! Amazing video, and much respect for crews taking care of aircrafts. That's a ton of work!!!
Enormous workload behind the scenes! Very impressive video. 👍
Did you know that transporting the vaccine will require 8,000 B747 freighters? Good hope for a lot of heavies going back to the skies.
Cargo flight will continue to be busy and dominating the sky!
My god to unwrap and wrap around will take huge time
Inspirational,thanks for showing the perspective of engineering.
Aircraft engineer
Loved watching this video. Very informative. Thank you for sharing this information with us. Hope and pray that all these planes are back in the sky very soon.
Awesome vid, I’m currently training to be an aircraft engineer(Doing my Degree and License) and seeing this vid really inspires my ambition. Thanks Sam
Sam your videos during Covid have been so interesting and provide some amazing insights into all aspects of the industry. Thanks
this video is way better then flying around in plane !!!
Terrific catches! It is surprising that a lot of planes are being ground and retired during this pandemic.
Love your vids Sam.
You making days better .
Host is overwhelmed with excitement
I appreciate this a wonderful video Sam 🙏 I am an Aircraft maintenances Engineer student & you gave a hope to do my best for my future career.
Excellent insight Sam during these challenging Covid-19 times, stay well and safe Champ.....
My best wishes from Yorkshire 😊
Thanks Sam, your videos are all great. It gives me insight as to what are happening now to our airline industry as we move forward with this COVID-19 pandemic. :)
This is interesting Sam. But ultimately I still hope that aviation will be back soon. I miss flying. Thank you for this video 😊😊😊
I’m an aircraft engine maintenance technician and thanks for sharing this video :)
Incredible Sam .. wish you the very best . Ravi from india
