Welcome back everybody on another adventure with me. I am thankful to have you all here and I hope you guys enjoyed this one. As always, I will encourage you to comment and give your thoughts and opinions throughout the video, feel free to correct me if I said something wrong. Otherwise thank you so much for being here and I hope you have a beautiful day
Edit;, ladies and gentleman, a quick correction When I was talking about the 737 Cowling incident, I mentioned the material of the cowling for that particular engine. A quick correction that particular cowling on CFM 56-7B is mostly made of aluminum. Sorry about that. 
Also a quick side note in regard to when I was talking about the MCAS issue and the 737 max. I’m by no means blaming the pilots. I still put the blame on Boeing. My point was that I think (fyi my opinion) that it could have been prevented. That is all. So please don’t get upset at me for speaking my mind and having an opinion. I’m simply explaining how the aircraft works and what it’s capable of. That is all.

  • Edit: ladies and gentlemen, a quick correction on a portion of this video when I was talking about the southwest fan Cowling incident. I mentioned the material the cowling is made of on that particular engine, which is the CFM 56-7B. The corrective statement is that the fan Cowling is made out of aluminum material. My apologies on this. Also a quick side note in regards to when I was talking about the MCAS issue and the 737 max. I’m by no means blaming the pilots. I still put the blame on Boeing. My point was that I think (fyi my opinion) that it could have been prevented. That is all. So please don’t get upset at me for speaking my mind and having an opinion.

    • 17:07 "... you need people that are proficient in operating that machine ... they need to know what they're doing" You're probably representing a common sentiment in your industry, aiming for balance and nuance against the very strong repeat criticism of Boeing. Often times public criticism is uninformed and absurd. But, sorry, in my opinion in this case, you're apportioning excessive criticism & responsibility for the two 737 disasters on the pilots. Pilot training and a runaway stab trim procedure were not adequate to recover with undisclosed MCAS as it was implemented then -- non-redundant input from one alpha vane, high horizontal stab authority, and repeat pitch down commands at unknown intervals. That version of MCAS was very crude. Test pilots with inside engineering knowledge would have a fair chance, but that is too demanding for above average line pilots. My opinion. You're entitled to your opinion, and also recognizing you know more than almost everyone.

    • @@collectorguy3919 i deeply appreciate you for your thoughts and intellectual response. If I sounded overly critical, I just want to say that it wasn’t my intention. Thank you once again for your comment.

    • @@collectorguy3919 Stig is right, Boeing chose not to add that detail to the Manual. I did hear one of the tapes, the copilot did turn off the stab trim, but it was too late, and the pilots could not recover the aircraft. Stig mentioned that fact in his comment. The other issue was Boeing relying on one sensor only. That was and is against any and all engineering rules for aircraft design. (Even the automobile industry relies on redundancy). The third issue was Boeing outsourcing the code to India. Aerospace Software Engineers would have instantly recognized the danger of that situation and not have released the code. Saving pennies to spend billions... I hope that culture of bean-counting changes very soon. Passengers, crew and operators don't give a flying fart about investors and shareholders when the plane falls apart at 16000 feet. Boeing shouldn't either.

Ditching survival rates not hi tho people have done it if conditions are right. Lotta luck. Strong wind parallel to wave crests (rare), slow the plane way down. Lotta Iuck is really what it is.

What makes you so special is that you went onto say that everyone onboard my as well be your brother or sister...THAT is the dedication that you put into the job. BRAVO-and I am so PROUD of you STIG to TELL US!! Thank you as a flying member of this community - I feel safer because of YOU. And between you and I and a couple thousand friends - pass this attitude onto all your other mechanics in ALL airlines please! Thanks for the shows - I love them.

Seeing that 787 APU door open had me doing a flashback to when I was on a cleaning crew for a 767. We used air stairs on the R4 door. It was in the winter time, blowing snow, really high winds. A crew member of mines hat got blown off and almost went into the inlet. Needless to say, we never used that side any more after that.😂

I was able to ride in a Platus pc-12 from moses lake to Boeing field Seattle, approx 200mi and only took 40min from wheels up to wheels down. By far the fastest and loundest single engine I've ever been in. Then once at Boeing I was able to be on the tarmac around allot of jumbo's. They look big on video but when I was on the ground by them they are gigantic, even more so then when your in them. It's so much to take in, an experience I'll never forget. You get to do that on a daily basis and now I have even a better understanding why you love your career so much. 😊

Thanks for going over the Southwest incident, I hadn't seen that yet, and thanks for explaining the causes, I always appreciate your in depth explanations with your expert knowledge. While I prefer to not get rained on, something about rain falling day and especially night while you do your inside/outside walkthroughs of the planes, makes it feel so much more calm ambiance, especially when you see the planes reflection in the pools of water. 😍 Take pride in your work, because your work will reflect who you are, Stig 2024.

I specialize in cabin lighting systems for most of the fleets that my airline operates, and I was wondering if you could show what your cabin colors look like for the BSI fleets (OEM on later 737NGs and all MAXs). If you have the time, of course. Anyways, love your stuff and your attitude. I have been really happy to meet so many people in the industry that share your interest and enthusiasm.

If you know the difference between them, then you are good to go. ;) Flying the thing is a matter of trust in ones' own capabilities; not so much engineering? One would normally assume that, that,said process had been completed. It is so cool how many views of the world are out there. Here we are sharing them. Real time.
