- Welcome back ladies and gentlemen, thank you so much for all being here and taking your time to watch these little mini movies. Because that is exactly what it’s turning into. I am so happy to have all of you here and to create such an incredible community of individuals that are so like-minded. I want you all to be part of this adventure and I want you to learn and I also want you to teach me.
You are all incredible people not only because you love Aviation, because you are also so inquisitive and have the aptitude for knowledge into this line of work and into this industry. I want to applaud you and thank you for participating on this journey with me.
I mentioned it in the video, and I’m going to mention it once again right here, if I have said anything incorrectly in regards to aircraft or aircraft systems, please do not hesitate to correct me. I am a student and will be forever a student to Aviation. I do not know everything But I will share with you what I know.
Thank you all for watching and I hope you enjoyed it

Its the highlight of my week when I get to watch your videos. I work on the ramp at an airport and one of my co workers is currently in school for aircraft maintenance. I told her to start watching your videos because I told her "if there is someone I'd listen to, I would listen to Stig, guys been in the game for a long time". I Absolutely love to learn from you stig. Keep up the great work👍
The iiiiiiiiiiiiiiíuu
Yeah, I also work at an airport as a Check-In and Boarding-Agent in Germany. I am a big avgeek, been doing flight simming for over 15 years now and this channel is just amazing. The love for aviation and his job Stig shows in his videos is just contagious.
It's like the same at work - I absolutly love working together with people like Stig - people that love their job and do it in a safe and professional manner - the day just goes by so much quicker working with people like that.
Great job Stig sharing that passion with people outside the industry! Also gotta appreciate his employer allowing him to do these videos!
I am just very happy I can share my adventures with you and I can share my knowledge. Thank you so much for being here.
@@StigAviationI'm happy you're here stig to educate us on something we all love! And I admire your sense of humor. Be safe
“Her?!” Well, at least she’ll be in maintenance and not in the cockpit (flying). They’re a liability in aviation, hopefully she doesn’t make the same mistake. They’re horrible under pressure. 🤦🏻♂️
A Stig a day keeps the doctor away! It's a beautiful thing to witness a man that loves his job!
Cheers to that Alex 🤙
One other fun fact about those air conditioning packs.
They don't use any refrigerant!
It's all Joule-Thomson cooling!
PV=nRT, ideal gas law states that as a gas is allowed to expand, it cools. And as it is compressed, it heats up. This is why bleed air is so blasted hot, it's just been thru the compressor section of the turbine engine and so it's hot because it got highly compressed. This means there's a lot of energy in bleed air, which is why it's so useful of a power source on an aircraft.
But the opposite is also true. When you allow a gas to expand, it cools.
If you combine those two things, along with some heat exchangers you get a cooling or heating system. Just compression is enough for providing heating.
But if you want cooling, you need more steps for even a rudimentary system to work.
First you compress the gas, like you'd expect. If you just let it expand again without doing anything else you would only get the gas to cool back off to the temperature it started at, you wouldn't get any actual net cooling.
The cooling happens because the next step is to pass the compressed (and now hot) gas thru a heat exchanger, to allow the heat to be moved into another fluid (in this case that's what the heat exchangers in the pack's ram air duct are doing).
Only after the gas has been cooled AFTER compression can you let it expand. This cools the gas well below the temperature it started at, because when it was compressed you took energy out of it by cooling it, and now you have the same amount of gas expanding to the same pressure as it started but it has less energy contained in it, so the temperature must be lower because of the ideal gas law.
The reason the plumbing in the air conditioning pack is so complex is because first off, you have water that needs to be taken care of because the atmosphere always has moisture in it, and also it's trying to be as efficient as possible, so instead of just expanding the gas thru an orifice, they expand it thru a turbine connected via a shaft to the compressor. In HVAC terminology this is more commonly known as a recuperator, because it allows you to capture some of the remaining energy in the gas and use it to perform work compressing more gas. There is actually a lot of energy left in that gas even if only due to its high pressure, so the ability to recover that and force it to do more useful work significantly improves efficiency.
Absolutely fantastic information. Thank you so much for adding your knowledge.
Air when used as a refrigerant is called R-729. ASHRAE defines it as 78.082% N2 (R-728), 20.945% O2 (R-732) and 0.934% argon (R-740). It's a horribly inefficient refrigerant but it works well in aircraft since you have tons of power to drive the cycle. Ian Bennett has a video of a running air cycle machine- he drives it with a small air producer.
@0
OK but "air as a refrigerant" isn't quite what's happening in an air cycle machine (EDIT at least not according to my own definitions of "refrigerant")
The air never changes phase, it never gets condensed or evaporated, only compressed and expanded. Like I said, only ideal gas law driving the thermal transfer.
No phase change, except for the water content (which must be dealt with or some of the heat exchangers ice over which stops the whole thing working).
I spent 23 years in the Air Force as a Crew Chief on KC -135’s. I found this channel by accident. Love your videos showing the modern aircraft.
Thank you for your service 🙏
Thank you for your service David, and I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos

I'm from Poland and I will be starting college this year and studying aircragt maitnece engineering. Thank you for making such good videos that I can treat them as tutorial!❤
It’s my absolute pleasure, I’m glad I am helpful
Hey stig! I usually never write comments under videos but I felt compelled to do so now 😅 I just wanted to say thank you for what you to for the community within the airline industry as well as the community who watch your videos. I’ve been having a really tough time in college and thinking about transferring for many different reasons and the one thing that keeps me sane are your videos. I absolutely love aviation and I question every day why I’m not doing anything to truly get into it. Thank you for the content stig, you’re the best!
Don’t lose hope my friend, sometimes life is a bit challenging and you need to keep a clear head about yourself. It’s the challenge that will make you stronger. Whatever decisions you make, make sure you make it with your future in mind.
UA FA here, 30 year anniversary this week. I love your channel. I always try to thank our tech ops people when they are responding, resolving the issues and keeping things SAFE, but often it's impossible to do so personally as I am stuck in a different part of the cabin etc. Yet know I appreciate your work. I know all my AA colleagues appreciate every thing you do to keep it going and to spec. It's critically important, and even the cosmetic fixes make a huge difference in my work life. Keep the Stig Shift's coming. Learning so much!
We try our hardest to make sure the cabin is fully functional, but as you know, sometimes, it’s quite impossible because of time limitation, as well as part limitations. But we try to make it work as much as we can. I love our cabin crew, and all the people that keep it safe in the sky. Thank you so much for all your hard work, one thing people don’t understand is that flight attendants are one of the most incredibly qualified human beings on the planet. You all are safety, instructors, firefighters, and EMTs at the same time. Not to mention dealing with disgruntled and belligerent passengers sometimes. The airlines need to be paying you double.
I really look forward to these videos Stig! I've said it before but I will say it again. You have the best job in the world. If I could have a "do over" in life it would be a A&P mechanic with one of the majors. Aviation is in my blood like it is yours. The difference between you and me is you answered that calling and I listened to others who told me I wasnt smart enough to be in aviation. Let this be a lesson to every young kid that reads this. Never self select yourself out of anything. Make them tell you no and never listen to the people who tell you that you cant do something or something is too difficult. Follow your dreams!
You said it perfectly my friend 👌
Hey @Stig Aviation, as someone who grew up in socal and flew out of LAX countless times, and flew on American a lot of those times. Never really had a chance to thank the ground crew for what they do, and after watching your videos, you guys do a LOT, so THANK YOU for keeping us safe! ❤ and awesome videos thanks for all the knowledge!
It’s my absolute pleasure, and thank you very much for watching
My grandfather was a mechanic for Continental Airlines at Stapleton from the time he got out of the service (WWII) until the 1980s. Your videos remind me of the stories he would tell me when I was a kid about how he was fixing airplanes. Thanks for sharing!
I’m glad it brought back fond memories Matt. Thank you for watching.
Howdy Stig. Boeing/Airbus guy for many years. Regarding Boeing 757/767/747/787, one thing I always tell the young ones is if they forget the color coding for the hydraulic system plumbing, just look at the nav lights. Left is Red, Right is green. Typically Center is blue, so use process of elimination for that one.
That is a perfect way of memorizing the hydraulic systems 👌
No red port left in the bottle...
8LP/N833AA was my first Dreamliner ride- nice to see her make a cameo at the beginning ❤
She’s a beauty 👌
Love your videos Stig. I wanted to be a pilot growing up. That didn't pan out. I became a middle school math teacher. Watching your videos is my guilty pleasure. Keep them coming. 👍
That is an incredibly honorable job, you are shaping the young minds for a better tomorrow.
I absolutely Love how much you enjoy what you do.. In a world full of so much negative and people hating their jobs, you my friend are a real breath of fresh air...
You commenting on the maintenance and the age, one time I was on a British airways and flew into Heathrow from Munich headed back to the states. I had injured my foot and for whatever reason we didn't pull to a jet bridge. So I had to wait for some poor guy to come with a lift truck to get me off the plane. Anyhow it was almost 30 min . It was an obviously older Airbus but I got to just sit and talk with the captain, first officer, and two stewardesses for that 30 min. I'm sure I may have irritated them but our flight was their last flight to end their shift. Of course I took that opportunity for my aviation child to just enjoy that moment. Very young captain maybe in his late 20s very early 30s. I asked him how many flight hours total on that airframe because I could tell it was obviously an older plane.. He gave me a look of confusion and said, "Honestly I don't know" Now I know as an airline pilot you don't stick with one bird. I still found it odd he didn't know. That would be one if the first things I would look at. I'm not an airline pilot so maybe it's just not something you think about but the nerdy aviation child inside me would want to know. Sorry short story long. Keep the videos coming. Love them!!!!
You know, pilots usually don’t look into the history of the aircraft that deeply. That’s more of a maintenance and engineering portion of the industry. So when the pilot said he didn’t know, they genuinely do not know.
@StigAviation Makes sense. Thank you.
I take my General written exam in 2 days and am shittin bricks with nerves, but stig is always here to bring me back down to reality. Thank you as always!
Don’t stress brother, you got this you’re gonna pass.
@@StigAviation I DID IT STIG THANK YOU FOR BEING SUCH A POSITIVE AND SUPPORTIVE LIGHT IN THE AVIATION COMMUNITY THANK YOU AGAIN!
Stig, we brought in 4 A319’s from Frontier in 2020 and did the conformity checks in CLT. You can tell the ex Frontier airplanes by the N Number which has XF.
Yep, the XF are the frontier birds. Man oh man, were they so mistreated at frontier, I’m glad we got a hold of them and brought them back into shape.
@@StigAviation you’re doing a great job to educate people about what it takes to keep a airplane safe to fly. I really appreciate your videos…thank you!
@@StigAviationhow do they get mistreated? Do they skimp on maintenance and do the bare minimum?
@@Horizon301. I’m not sure mistreated was really correct. I’m a bit biased being retired from AA Tech Ops but American definitely has great Tech Ops capabilities to give each airplane attention with many maintenance stations and great heavy maintenance resources. Frontier is an ultra low cost carrier and must provide a FAA approved maintenance program but I believe AA goes far beyond the minimum to support their aircraft as Stig shows you in his videos.
@@andygibson6196 ah that makes complete sense. From your experience what was the most reliable aircraft in the fleet and did you have aircraft I.e. a single B767 that notoriously had issues more so than the rest of the B767 fleet?
Hey Stig USA i had a chat with Mr May the other day he knows of your channel. Keep up the amazing content.
Thank you so much, and I appreciate you being here
Man stig I love these videos. You have a great attitude
I appreciate that. Thank you for watching Dave.
I’m watching this on my break in Atlanta doing the same job you do except for the “enemy” airline. Love your channel. I learn a lot.
Keep up the good work Tyler, stay safe brother.
Glory hallelujah! Another video from STIG!
Have fun 🤙
@@StigAviation I am. Looking up tail numbers and checking for planes I have traveled on.
STIG! Another great video. As positive as you are, I wonder what your LEAST favorite part of the job is AND what your least favorite task on the flight line is. I know you used to be a tank diver, but even that sounds kind of fun. Thanks and keep being you!
The answer to that question is always toilets, I never enjoy working on toilets 😂
@@StigAviation who does??? God bless plumbers. Wait, you kind of are a plumber sometimes, so god bless you!
20 mph GT-3? Oh boy, we could all pile on that one :) Awesome vid man, thank you
Glad you liked it!
Stig! Again, great video I love the extra technical details you throw in and more importantly (as a pilot) i really enjoy the enthusiasm you show every single time you walk into the airport and up to an airplane. In regards to the ground spoiler interlock valve, and this is a guess, they likely put only one on due to weight savings, a common culprit. We fairly commonly land one wheel at a time though, especially in strong crosswind conditions! In the widebodies their gear can handle the lateral force, called a sideload but in the smaller world, we like our tires aligned, which means one of our wings, and tires, needs to be lowered into the wind. Now if only i knew everything going on in that 737 wheel well...
Thank you so much for adding more information to this. I always enjoy the experiences of the pilot and the knowledge that comes through flying
I love how the British Airline pilot turned off his taxi lights so you guys don’t get blinded by it and turn it back on when they turned to continuing taxi to their destination. Love to see pilots like these❤
It was very polite of them to do so and an enjoyable moment to see that beautiful aircraft
Thanks for bringing us along STIG
My pleasure
it’s a good day when stig uploads
Thank you 🙏
Am a & p from Saudi Arabia nice to see the A318 flying around
Say mashallah stig 😂
I was very happy to see this beautiful aircraft here. Blessings on to you my friend.
@@StigAviation thanks aviation stig ✈️🙏
ماشاءالله 🦦
Great video. I never knew about the red and white balls in the cockpit. Learn something new every day. Thanks!
PS my dad had a twin turbo Porsche like that grey one, except it was black. That was many years ago. Good times. Thanks for the memories.
Glad you enjoyed it and learned something new
Your torch/flashlight sure is an important piece of gear for you, Stig. Looks to produce a very powerful beam of light, too. Rechargeable batteries? Or, how often do you have to change them? Company issue - or your own?
All the flashlights, and all the tooling that you see is mine, I buy it. The company does not provide those kind of things. It is a rechargeable flashlight, and I usually recharge it every night. ThruNite is the brand

Thank you for correcting me
12:35 "Some say ... He was the original design model for the Concorde , Other say that he also has TOGA switch instead of an overdrive , All we know is he's called the STIG ! Amazing video as always Stig , and of course thank you for ur outstanding services !
I absolutely love this, thank you so much Jose
Ur welcome Stig 😎 Glad to see u back !!
The Space X 737 is gorgeous. Love that matte black.
Me too, it definitely stands out
Thanks for showing the nose strut disassembled for service. Of course all modern airliners use Skydrol for their primary hydraulics, but they still use good old 5606 to fill the struts. I maintain 3 corporate CRJ-200s. Every 500 hours we have to jack the aircraft, flush the old 5606 out, refill the struts with new fluid, and repressurize with nitrogen.
You’re absolutely correct my friend. 5606 or a variation of it (strut fluid)
@@StigAviation Might be interesting sometime in one of your videos to discuss the two types of hydraulic fluids… that in the old days aircraft used 5606 for everything but they went to Skydrol because it is much less flammable. Of course it does dissolve plain rubber o-rings and makes a great paint stripper! I actually like the smell of 5606. Skydrol smells like a mixture of isopropyl alcohol and old sweat. AFAIK the reason they still use 5606 in struts is because it is more viscous and unlikely to catch on fire in that application.
I actually do have a video on that, I I go through describing the different fluids on aircraft, it’s a older video
@@StigAviation I’ll look for it!
man not only do you get to see awesome aircraft but really cool cars too.
It’s a win-win situation here 👌
It’s funny I just found your page and I was one of the mechanics from DWH working on 7LK with the strut repack there lol
You guys did a fantastic job. You might’ve ran into me because I was walking around. I had talked to a few of the mechanics. Thank you for your hard work brother and making it airworthy.
My channel of the year 2023/24 👍 It’s like being there on the ground with you… Thanks a lot for showing us around.
Thank you so much for being here
Been working at an MRO and i just started working with AA. I really like it. Paperwork is a lot better than United. I can get stuff done way easier. Once i get licensed they will prolly be good option when i leave
You’re definitely getting some good experience. I highly recommend you get the license better pay for sure.
I never get tired of the main landing gear wheel well.
It’s always beautiful to see the intricacies of aircraft
I aspire to enjoy my job as much as this guy, nothing is fun or easy 100% of the time that's life, but Stig is not only knowledgeable but passionate about aviation and his career. I’ve been enjoying all of your content.
Thank you so much Tyler
I worked on C141A&B aircraft in the 80s. One job was to change a flap jack brake. They never told me why but I found out it was the only part that was safety wired left hand direction . Now maybe they tell you why something is done. It stops the flap from going past it's limit. One side at a time.
That sounds very similar to the wing tip brake mechanism, basically not allowing the flaps not to go out of sync.
We owe a huge debt of gratitude to all the people behind the scenes who make it happen working in all kinds of whether a lot of overnight shifts. And they are the real unsung heroes of the us transportation system.
Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for seeing that.
My gosh it's a far thing from a Cessna 172 that I learned to fly in. All my wonderments on modern aircraft are being explained by a Master of his Trade. Thank you Stig for making this old man happy.
It’s my absolute pleasure Robert. Thank you so much for being here sir.
Stiiiiiggg!!! Thank you, like always, wake up, shower, and while making breakfast and eating it I start to watch your video. It makes always a great start in the day, and I look forward the whole day to finish it in the evening! Thank you so much :))
Thank you so much, and I hope you have a beautiful day.
Stig!! Congrats on 50k on youtube!!! Thank you for always taking the time to bring us along, I can't wait for many more Stig Shifts ❤
Thank you so much, it would not be possible without beautiful incredible people like you.
Stig,
My numbers for the armrest are F5 and 10 on the pedals. You have a great content on your channel! Keep bringing us more curiosities on the A320 on a maintenance perspective, it is an amazing machine!! Pedro
You, my friend are a very tall man, that I can already assume by the numbers. And thank you so much for being here, sir.
In all of Stigs videos we get to see all the Beauties/princesses up close and personal!! Love it!! ❤
Thanks Stig for such awesome videos and where we learn every single time!
Me total avgeek!! 😂
Glad you like them!
@@StigAviation you always make it fun for all of us. Love it!
On the take off configuration warning, I took my grandson on a flight several years ago and he got to visit the cockpit during boarding. The captain allowed him to sit in the left seat and told him to push the throttle handle up. It made the noises and my grandson thought that was so cool. I took a picture of him doing it and it is one of my favorite flying memories!
Thank you Stig for your amazing videos!
I bet he had the biggest smile on his face, that’s how you make future pilots 👌 thank you so much for being here and I’m glad it brought back fond memories
I love how much you take pride in and enjoy your work. I know some days can be rough, but there’s no job like a job you love.
I love this job to the fullest, I couldn’t see myself doing anything else
I work at Gulfstream Aerospace. We manufacture those luxury jets for the top 1% wish we could film what we do but we can’t. Cool content, as an aviation geek and a a/c tech myself, as u know we are always learning everyday. So good stuff.
Thank you Anthony. I appreciate you being here. And you are 100% right. Always learning every day.
Thanks from the Austrian Alps for the new one!
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you for sharing.😊
My pleasure 😊
Thank you for another wonderful video Stig!! That final night shot of the Speedbird A380 taxiing was a real treat.
I am very happy you enjoyed it
Speaking of interesting liveries, I live in Ireland and the other day spotted Aer Lingus showing off their really retro livery, just two lines down the side and a shamrock. Man is it beautiful. Just quaint, simple and heart warming throwback to the good old days. Wish I could upload a photo.
Anyway, thanks guy, loving the channel.
I’ve seen that one as well Bob, I think it’s very beautiful
I love this channel.
I’m happy to share my adventures with you. Thank you for being here.
Hey, I just found your channel. I love planes, especially big one, I watch 74 Gear quite often, which is from a pilots perspective. What I love about your channel, is that I get to see a view of these planes in a way I never have before. Not everyone gets to see just how cool these planes are from your perspective. I am a small engine mechanic, so from one mechanic to another, I love how you teach what everything does. What perhaps amazes me the most about the complexity of these planes, is the redundant systems that they have for safety, I really love that. Please keep doing what you are doing, I appreciate you, and subbed. PS: Nice cars too!
Thank you so much for being here, I appreciate you watching and enjoying these beautiful aircraft, don’t hesitate to ask questions if you see something interesting
Another stig!!! God I love the smell of jet exhaust and jp8… I’d love to see you do more fixing things. Not sure how possible that is though. Like even the toilets that you’ve done in the past.. or the seat back pocket.. love seeing what else you do!
I try to include as much as I can. Remember, it’s just small clips of footage of things I do or capable of showing.
@@StigAviation And we appreciate you for it Love your videos and can't wait for more Stig!
Awesome Stig! I don’t know how you let that Heathrow 777 leave without checking the ever critical fidget spinners though 😂
The good old fidget spinner 😅😂
I love you always take video of them taxing into the gate. They are such beautiful marvels of engineering.. I do believe your channel with be the only channel that I have ever donated to... Only the ones that get it will understand it. I love it and love how much joy you get from being fortunate enough to work with these beautiful birds every day and the absolute massive amount of knowledge you have of the inner workings.. My top channel hands down..
Thank you so much Robert, and it is a pleasure for me to have you here and enjoy Aviation as much as I do.
At LH in Frankfurt they have a whole fleet of Mercedes Benz S Class and Porsche Cayenne for VIP first class Service. Every passenger with first class tickets is entitled to get driven from the first class terminal to the aircraft.
I guess that’s what big money gets you, but it can’t buy you love 🤙
Star Trek over Star Wars any day - you know your stuff, Stig!
Live long and prosper 🖖
Keep up the good work stig. Love watching your videos. Definitely would be ahead of my class from all the knowledge I learned from this channel if I start AMT school. Hope to run into u one day when I fly AA 😊
Much appreciated. If you ever fly through LAX, send me a message.
Thanks for the information and showing how much you love your job. Continue to do a great job and keep everyone safe 🙏.
Thank you James
Hello Stig! My first time commenting here. This has become my absolute favorite aviation channel on RUclips. Im so thankful for the videos you film for us! Always learning cool new stuff about the aircrafts and how they keep on flying from day to day. Also your positivity and passion on what you do just shines through these videos. If only there were more people like you 🙂
On this video my attention caught on the Finnair A350 on the background, if I properly squint my eyes, it looks to be the lovely Moomin Livery (reg OH-LWP, if this was filmed on 16th day)
Getting ready for departing back to Helsinki, Finland. That's why I love airplanes. seeing a little piece of homeland in the other side of the world, especially in your videos, that I so much love to watch. How cool is that?? So far away, but it makes it feel connecting. Stay awesome Stig!! ❤
It’s a wonderful thing to have sense of pride for your nation and it’s absolutely phenomenal how aircraft paint schemes represent that.
Thank you! for fantastic interesting aviation content!
Many thanks!
Middle of the week Stig video is always welcome!!
Hope you enjoyed it!
I just discovered your videos a few weeks ago, and I really enjoy them! I can tell you really love what you do. It’s fun to learn about all of these things in your video and a great way to end my day.
Thank you so much!! And thank you for being here
Stig, I’m jealous of you. I’ve wanted to be in aviation all my life but I’m instead a poor bus driver in London. You just became my favourite celebrity and now you just added to it by claiming to be a fellow Trekkie. I love you and what you do! Top Man…. Please give me a shout out on the channel, Danny the trainee pilot - and I’ll do the same on my digital radio show…. “Later!!!!”
Thank you so much Danny, and being a bus driver is an honorable profession my friend. Cheers to you Danny.
Waited for this all week.
I’m glad you enjoyed it
Seeing a new video pop up tonight made my day!
Thank you for watching
Thanks Stig. Another really informative video. Could watch these all day. These airplanes are awesome!
Glad you enjoyed!
Excellent videos Stig! I am living my midlife crisis through watching your videos! Thank You!
I’m glad you are enjoying them. Thank your Robbie
34:15 I see a jackscrew, and a U-joint. Lots of grease fittings, I love that.
👍
Love this stuff!
Thank you Todd
What I enjoy the most about your videos is that you truly enjoy your job
Thank you so much, and I absolutely love my job. I appreciate you watching.
Great video, Stig! Lots of new and interesting information! Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you again for your great videos. Always so nice to see your passion and enthusiasm while doing your job. Thank you.
My pleasure! And thank you for watching
Funny how you announced yourself getting on the plane,,,i used to do the same back in the day....not to say that planes are hunted but some of them are weird.....Cool...Thanks for the good Flashbacks....👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👋👋👋
I have encountered so many paranormal activities and unusual events with aircraft. Ghost are very real, and I will always give them the respect when I walk on board.
"Stig absolutely love watching your channel and all the information you provide about the different aircraft. Keep it coming, man! Embrace the journey, for every upload is a step towards inspiring, entertaining, and making a difference in someone's life through your unique voice and content."
Thank you so much and I am very happy that you were enjoying it. Thank you for coming along on this journey with me.
Love your style , and knowledge
Thanks
Thank you very much
So glad to have another video to watch. Thank you Mr. Stig.
Thank you for being here and enjoying
I LOVE your content! I appreciate your enthusiasm for your work and for doing things right!
Thank you very much. I appreciate you watching and being here.
Thanx again friend. You are definitely de’ bomb!!
Many thanks 🙏
It’s always a good day when Stig posts! Love your videos Stig! Thanks for keeping my dreams alive and always teaching! Greetings from Norway as usual!😂🙈
Greetings from Los Angeles my friend, and I always appreciate you being here and watching
Soon as I saw you had posted a new video, I got me a hot cup of coffee and settled me down for another Stig class. It was First Class as always. The additions of those gorgeous cars was icing on the cake. Thank you for another interesting, informative journey.
Thank you so much, I’m so happy you enjoyed it
Love your vids. So much knowledge and highly interesting. Please make this a series.
Thank you so much, and I think these are turning into small movies at this point.
Every little thing you explain about these aircraft is awe inspiring.
I’m happy you are enjoying it
Very educational Stig. Thank you. As for the on and off switches well that is the difference between a datson and a ford !Simple!
That’s probably the best explanation. 😆
24:00 From Chris Brady's 737 channel: The 737's chipmonk-shaped engine nacelles are due to the accessories mounted at lower sides for ground clearance. CFM56 engines fitted after -200 series had a larger diameter than the JT8D engines.
I notice you've said "A-OK" a couple of times. You're decades younger than me, and I wonder if you know where the term came from? (Ans. - John Glenn, Mercury astronaut said it when ground control inquired about his status. I mention it because my wife's mid-20's Dr. used it after reviewing her lab test results - I asked him where'd you get that from - he said he picked it from his grandmother; he had no idea who John Glenn was. Gave him a quick history lesson.
BTW - 4K thumbs up can't be wrong - you have a very entertaining and educational channel.
Thank you so much Philip, I appreciate you being here and I appreciate the education. I am not as young as you think I am though. I’m in my late 40s, but I did pick up that term from my father.
Rereading your reply. I'm some 30 yrs your senior.
I really like your videos, I been on aviation for 17 years and I enjoy and live every minute of it.
Thank you very much and I’m very happy you’re enjoying it
Could fall asleep to all the jet sounds of LAX
That sound in the world 👌
Love the videos. Found you a few months ago now look forward to your uploads every week. Keep them coming!
Thank you so much for being here Steve, I’m glad you were enjoying the adventures
Stig i want to know how did you train to become a line technician did you go to university or did you do an apprenticeship and what were the stages of education to get to where you are today. I’m a really big fan of your work and if this could be apart of a video going into detail that would be amazing!!!
I am in the United States and I went to school to get a license called the airframe and powerplant certificate. This is regulated by the FAA. It’s almost 2 years of school, and once you receive that license, you are eligible to apply for work at your choice of airline.
@@StigAviation what would the university equivalent be for that because I’ve applied to study aerospace engineering with pilot studies as im from the uk and im trying to find a more direct option into aircraft maintenance and engineering.
It works a little different in Europe, you will have to look into EASA part 66 programs for that
@@StigAviation oh interesting thanks for the information this genuinely helps narrow it down for me as im a final year of secondary education and I need to choose my path now. I really appreciate the content and it’s helped me see what this type of work really is like
BABE WAKE UP STIG POSTED

5:10 Boeing has optional "up is on" or "down is on" light switches, too. At least on the 747-400.
Good to know. Thank you.
Thank you mate, brilliant again.

Recently found your channel. Absolutely amazing. Makes me much more comfortable flying know how serious maintenance is taken. Your channel is going to blow up. I hope American never stops you from recording and posting.
I am very happy to hear that it is making you more comfortable to fly and conquer your fears. Thank you so much for being here.
In a world of lazy short form content, your video style shines. I look forward to this every week!
I’m very happy you’re enjoying it
