Have you ever looked out on the Boeing 737 wing and wondered what those white, large "pods", were?
In todays video I will be giving you all the information you need about this subject.
I will also be talking more about the trailing edge Flap system, how we pilots deal with Flap problems problems and much, much more.

As a licensed commercial driver I recognize the necessity of a pre-trip inspection and the importance of a working knowledge on all of the systems and sub systems to be checked. So even for pilots and aspiring pilots, videos such as this could be invaluable! I vote you continue doing more of these type videos! I see now that I’m a lil late to the party tho...lol

His English is so clean and to the point were he can explain a complex concept to an uneducated audience and still have them learn something from him. The ability to do that requires a very refined communication skillset. With some, listening to them is a painful ordeal as they meander. He is clearly educated in his ability to explain a concept to be immediately understood as opposed to contemplating his presentation at a later time. There are not that many who can speak so clearly and is almost entertaining to hear any presentation.

They took us into the landing gear bay just to show us the manual fire suppression release, but I also remember these huge motors and a maze of hydraulic lines. Working out on the ramp with these aircraft was the best job I ever had. We flew the DC-9, MD-80, 727-200, 737-200 & 300, and our big daily was an Airbus A300. Thanks for the video, I never new they hid the motors in those fairings.

The drive motors are located in the wheel well and turning motion,( torque) is transferred out to the jack screws through a series of torque tubes and gear boxes . Even the gear boxes and torque tubes are located in the aft wing wells and not the canoe fairings.

  • Again, very interesting!! I already knew those pods were housings for the flap mechanisms, but I did not know that they were driven by one motor. I've been designing electronics for safety critical systems for cars, and I had to implement monitor systems similar to the FSEU, so I found that specially interesting!! Thanks again for teaching me new things!

    • Sometimes, or most of the time they are hinged. Along with a control linkage in the form of push rods and bell cranks that move the canoe when the flaps are moved.

    • They are, but they have a class full of kids and some dweebs choose to be twats and the teacher spends the lesson dealing with the dickheads while you miss out on what they could impart. It’s easy on KZhead, this guy can talk and his audience can’t affect anyone, so you get a one on one. Just think before leaping. Teachers cop it in the neck because the government keeps the idiots at school instead of pissing them off to boot camp or disciplining them.

  • the flap track farings in slang are often called "canoes" due to their appearance. the forces involved by such actuators is quite significant and the reason why such are "pinned" during maintenance operations to avoid potential fatal accidental actuation during maintenance operations (such pins being treated as surgical instruments during medial operations and carefully accounted for so as to prevent being left behind before aircraft is put back into service)
