    Hey Stig, great video as always! FYI you probably already knew but didn't mention for people, the other reason for dual stab trim switches is for prevention of a trim runaway in case of a faulty trim switch. For other people reading, a trim runaway is where the aircraft gets an uncommanded tendancy to pitch nose-up or down, it is very rare but dangerous as it can lead to upset attitudes, loss of terrrain separation etc. So both switches have to close to actuate the trim, in case one gets stuck closed/shorts during flight.

It ended up being an ATC error. But can you imagine him (the load master), the mechanic, the handlers... All who couldn't sleep for DAYS thinking "what did I do wrong?"

    Stig, it take a real man with integrity to say flying is not for you. Let's face it. Not everyone is cut out to be a pilot. Not everyone is cut out to be a aircraft mechanic but it takes real integrity to admit when something isnt for you after spending money and time committed to that subject rather then force it or try and make it work. I know plenty of pilots that shouldnt be pilots and they hate flying. Can you imagine going to your doctor for care and your doctor hates his or her job? Same thing with pilots. How safe would you feel flying with a pilot that hates their job. I think you get my point. I have even more respect for you now then I did before you shared this story and I had a lot of respect for you before so your stock just went up in my opinion.
    I would like to hear the story of your bad experience if your willing to share it? It may help others. You never know.
    Thanks for the great video as always my man. 👍

      Agreed 100% they're rare but they're out there. In 20 years of flying, instructing and doing the check airman thing you can tell right away when somebody isn't truly into it. Or only into it for the wrong rea$on$. Those are the worse guys\gals to fly with. Fortunately most of them weed themselves out eventually.

    (12:45) The position of the overwing exit’s operating mechanism in part drives the way the window shade retracts (downwards) but there’s another issue that’s just as important (since not every exit has the mechanism above the window), and that’s the Flight Attendants. We’re all familiar with the FAs coming through the cabin before takeoff and landing and checking the emergency exit window shades are open; they have to be able to see outside the exit row windows in the event of an evacuation - that’s an FAA regulatory requirement...and also common sense. (That’s the same reason the Airbus has those ridiculously tiny windows in all the doors.)
    The window shades are held in position only by friction. If the shades retracted upwards but weren’t staying up, they would obviously slip down and close, blocking the window; that’s not an issue for most windows but is a no-go item for the exit rows. We can defer the window shades for any window except the exit rows; if the exit row window is obstructed by anything at all including the shade, we have to ground the plane until maintenance can come and pull the paneling and remove the window shade.
    If on the other hand the exit row window shade retracts downwards, if friction isn’t holding it up, as long as it slips - or is positioned - fully down (as it normally would be on any takeoff or landing anyway) we can defer it and be on our merry way.
    (25:50) While having a split trim switch reduces the chances of bumping the trim, what really drives the two-part or split trim switch is preventing trim runaways. If we had single switches, and the switch got stuck or the contacts inside shorted, we would get a trim runaway - think Boeing MAX and the infamous MCAS debacle*. By having a split switch, we are effectively requiring two switches to mechanically stick and/or electrically short in order to force a trim runaway - the odds become much much smaller.
    Fun fact - while I’m not sure about the newer Boeings, back in the day only the right side of the split trim switch actually trimmed the horizontal stabilizer. The two halves were wired in series, with the left half simply providing power to the right half; the right half is what actually controlled the stabilizer. If the left half was out of the center/neutral position in either direction, power was provided to the right half; it didn’t matter which direction the left half was moved, but it did for the right half.
    So for example it was possible to push the top of the split switch for nose down trim, and the stabilizer would move nose down; then, with some manual dexterity that challenges most of us (probably requires using both hands), continue holding the top of the left half (i.e. still nose down) but now push the bottom of the right half; the elevator would trim nose up.
    Or you can do it the other way - push the top of the split switch for nose down trim, then while holding the top of the right half, now push the bottom of the left half; the plane will continue to trim nose down regardless of which way the left half is pushed.
    It's probably best not to try this experiment in fight...😉
    * Remember that in its original configuration, MCAS had two sensors but only looked at one at a time - essentially a single switch. One bad sensor → nose-down trim runaway, and destroyed aircraft....

      @@NoName-zn1sb nope - it's a possessive of a singular, not a plural as in the operating mechanism that belongs to/in the overwing exit. There are many many operating mechanisms on airplanes; these mechanisms are associated with, or belong to, the overwing exits.
      If we were playing the plural game, we would need to pluralize "operating mechanism" as well, as in "the overwing exits' operating mechanisms."

    I don't know how my parents did it, but we always somehow managed to get on flights non-rev'ing for trips during the summer once we were out of school. Today, I bet it's easy with the internet and the instant flight info. From around 89 to late-ish 90s before the internet boom, I remember my mom or dad having to call the employee number to reserve seats and hopefully be the first one on the list with the highest seniority. It was always suspenseful when waiting to board, not knowing if there'd be bumped passengers from other flights or late arrivals.
    Thank you for bringing up some wonderful memories for me Stig!👍

    Howdy again Stig, random tidbit @10:35 one annoying thing about this sensor is if the sun is hitting it directly, next thing you know it starts freezing in the flight deck. I've made it a habit to look at it if it suddenly feels like a cold snap. Alternatively, since in a lot of the fleet there's that storage pocket for safety cards, sometimes if they stick up too far they can get sucked up against the sensor, making it go all wonky as well. We like setting the temp to 72F in all 3 zones. Most of the fleet keeps it pretty accurate, and it seems to be the temperature people complain the least about, until we get that post menopausal senior-momma FA that is.
    @27:45 You've covered all the top level stuff. Honestly no point going into the nitty gritty, plenty of other specialized videos on that in the tubes. I will say the Ipad version seems lightning fast compared to this built-in EFB, that looks painfully slow.
    @44:50 Kudos for having the integrity and honesty with yourself about not pursuing flying further. Sometimes it just doesn't work out, or just isn't what you thought it would be, or whatever reason and there's no shame for that. As a former CFI and check airman I saw waaaaay too many people pressure themselves into being pilots when they really had no business being up there, but they were already in too deep financially, or gave in to peer pressure and/or they convince themselves they had to see it through for whatever foolish reason. They're the minority, but by and large these were the worse pilots to teach/fly with. So good on you for not becoming one of "those" guys.
    I also had a couple of dozen hours teaching primary students in those redbirds sims, didn't care for them at all. The springiness of the controls was atrocious, and I didn't really see them being useful for anything other than very basic primary training (ie right before a student's first ever flight just to get a basic feel) or for instrument stuff, at which point I rather use a fixed base FTD at that level. The motion system is garbage too, I found it distracting and just a gimmick. But hey they sell well, every flight school worth mentioning has one and they're FAA certified (shockingly), just looks pretty on the marketing brochure for the flight schools I guess. /rant
    As always thanks for all you do!

    • @StigAviation
      @StigAviation  18 дней назад +1

      Thank you so much my friend. That was very beautifully said. And I completely understand the thing with the flight deck temp sensor, but you just taught me something new… never knew the sun hitting it would affect it. That just got added to my troubleshooting tactics 🤙
