  • Welcome back everybody, hope everyone has been doing well and here we go with another adventure in aircraft maintenance.
    If you see something interesting within the video, don’t hesitate to ask questions and if you see something that’s being said incorrectly, don’t hesitate to correct me. I’m only human and I’m learning just like you are. I’m just grateful I can share my experiences with you in the beautiful world of aviation.
    Hope you all enjoyed the video, thank you so much for watching.

    Stig, you gotta stop with the “I hope it’s not too boring” comment. YOU ARE THE ONLY PERSON WHO THINKS THAT. You have a loyal core here of avgeeks, engineers and general enthusiasts. We live for this. You are probably inspiring a fraction of the next generation of aircraft maintenance engineers

      Totally agree and was going to say something similar myself. Never too boring. Never too much. Never too repetitive (love to see it again and again!).
      Stig, you manage to do a combo of things few others have done or could do: being a seasoned aircraft mechanic + being an avid avgeek (like most of us following you I assume) + share your knowledge as unbiased and factual as possible + good at explaining things + post videos with good quality and that is very well narrated + spread a positive vibe and look on life.
      Actually, the latter is what gets me really going, especially when having a rough time. If aircrafts don't cheer up themselves, someone just being happy about things in general and aircrafts in particular, definitely do.

    Stig, while I immensely enjoy all the technical minutiae you impart in your videos, my favorite part about today's episode was when you flung that water on the exhaust tube of the 737 to watch it turn to steam. That sums up exactly who you are: A guy who loves his work and has the gift to convey that enthusiasm. Don't ever change that, it's what attracts us to your channel.

    This is why mechanics and people in the trades are the backbone of this world. It’s one thing to create such a beautiful thing such as an airplane but no matter what you do, it will always break down or require maintenance in some fashion. It’s inevitable and that’s just a fact of life. Seeing how these beautiful creations are serviced and maintained makes me have even more of a passion for commercial aviation.

I maintained it, and kept it in good shape. Ended up selling it to my friend 15 years later for $500 with 290k miles on it. He drove it to 350k miles before someone t boned him.

    Stig, this video is by far one of my favorites that you’ve made. That GENx engine breakdown was fantastic. Thank you again for making these awesome videos.
    A little tidbit for you: if you are curious about Lucid, they are by far one of the most innovative and engineering-focused companies in the EV space. The way they combine advanced packaging techniques with clever engineering solutions really puts them a cut above, IMO. They have a lot of great technical information on their RUclips channel that I think you would find fascinating (about their unique motor design, for instance).

    Another great video. I love how each video it’s always something new. I look forward to each week you post a new one. One thing I really love about your videos is when you go down to the cargo area. It’s always neat seeing what over size freight is waiting to be loaded.

    A tug essentially is a tractor. Trac as in traction. So more contact surface, more or larger tyres, more better. Always looking forward to your videos, many thanks!

    Thx for my next dose of aviation! When it comes to the Nissan @ 16:06, you pretty much said it all. It's a factory (As in official Nissan) race version of the new Z400 that is made to a GT4 specification. For those that don't know - GT4 is a touring car racing category that sits below GT3 in the hierarchy. Those cars usually rely a lot less on downforce and are less powerful, than their GT3 big brothers, but for a lot of drivers, this is how you progress into the most serious of touring car racing categories. I believe that GT4 is more popular here in Europe, but given that those cars can usually run in multiple series, you guys in the states probably have a use for those too.

    12:16 The first time I ever experienced a RTO was on an American A320-232, one of the VSV actuators crapped out on takeoff. V2500s seem to be more temperamental engines, maybe anecdotal, but things I've heard and limited personal experience has given me the impression that the CFM56 is the more robust of the two A320ceo engines. For context I do have some mx experience on the 320, did contract line mx for Frontier for about a year back in 2022. Their aircraft only had CFM powerplants, CFM56 on their classics and LEAP-1A26 on their neos.

    • @StigAviation
      @StigAviation  2 месяца назад

      And you are absolutely correct the V 2500 engine is a very temperamental beast, but it’s actually a very well and beautifully designed engine. You need to take care of that engine, it requires attention and care, but it’s still a good engine. Poor thing is underpowered, but works great when it’s working. The CFM on the other hand is bulletproof, that thing is just the Toyota of engines.
