- B777-300 brake riding.
If you been wanting my stories I put this up a few weeks ago, I figured I’d make it a post so you can enjoy the process of moving aircraft.
Aircraft was needed to be repositioned from International Gates at LAX to domestic Gates. Someone has to be in the flight deck to ask for clearance as well as brake ride it. It’s standard procedure for safety in case there is a malfunction on the ground while being moved.
As always thank you for watching… to my fellow mechanics in the world, You are incredible people.. we are all brothers and sisters in this community of aviation. Take care.. till next time.. yours truly Stig 🤙

I’m so jealous. Again thanks Stig. Keep ‘em coming, please!!!
More to come! And thank you
I would disagree that it’s not exciting. I would find that job Super exciting! Like being a kid in a candy store!
Then me and you think alike. I love this job. Always a pleasure to be working on these beauties
Hey Stig! Came across your channel about a month ago and didn't realize you work at AA. I retired from AA as an A&P after 25+ years in 2013. Sure wish you'd had been my instructor when I was in school ... LOL. Love watching your videos and it sure brings back a lot of memories. You're spot on with all the information you describe. Simply loved working at AA and miss it at times but I REALLY enjoy retirement. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much and I as well have been enjoying being at AA for the past 20 years now. I appreciate you being here and thank you for all your years of hard work keeping the metal moving.
@@StigAviation your very welcome my friend and thank you for keeping those birds flying. I worked in Tulsa at the maintenance base. Long story short when I got hired the only openings they had at the time was for building cleaners and just to get my foot in the door I accepted the position. After my 6 month probation I was able to get into the structure shop working on the 727 engine cowls. I learned so much working in that shop. Then after working in that shop for 5 years I wanted a change of scenery so I went to the hanger working on what few 727' s AA had at the time and then when those faded out started working on the old work horse MD80's. Then after 10 years working on the docks I was getting to the age where I developed knee and back issues and dealing with the brutal Oklahoma heat I bid on the APU shop and stayed there until I retired. Loved that shop especially being a climate controlled shop. I was in heaven... LOL
I've flown on 7LD. It's a beautiful aircraft!!!
She’s a solid bird. All our 777-300 are incredible.

Thank you Stig, so good to see the way things are done with these immensely valuable machines to ensure safety.
Couldn't agree more! Safety always comes first, and the enjoyment follows after. It’s an incredible career

Your laughing is too good 😂😂
😂🤣
So cool Stig 😎🤙!!
Glad you enjoyed it 🤙
The 777 is such a huge sexy beast
Such an incredible aircraft. One of the most sophisticated aircraft ever built.
Ive experienced being in the flight deck twice on a 787 when they are moving the plane. The the second one being only like 5 hours ago
I bet you had a good time 👍
@@StigAviation absolutely
Thank you so much Stig. I like watching your videos. Can i ask you a question? I am studying aeronautical engineering in Turkey. I want to do internship with american airlines or whatever other company possible. Can you help me about this?? I passed the second grade. I would be very happy if you can help
I wish i could help you on this, but the problem is that most companies that have internship required legal residency in the usa, also the issue of different aviation governing bodies. In the USA its ran by FAA.. I'm not sure how that would work...especially regarding the A&P licence that's required for that.
This was awesome to see you taxi in the captains seat. Interesting to note however, seems you got taxied the whole way by a tug, you didn't use the engines at all? At the end you should have said, I'm at the gate, have my coffee ready for me when I get out. LMAO!
It was such a small distance from one gate to the other gate. It’s not needed to run engines, so that’s why they use a tug. But there are other times where we are repositioning aircraft under its own power.
Love the triple 777 but still have a soft spot for the 707 and 727
727 was the first aircraft i ever worked, so I'm with you on that one.
Stig, I occasionally go spot at Dallas love field and a few times it seems that they've started an engine and used a follow-me car. Why would they mes with starting an engine rather than towing it across the field?
Time to time we have to taxi the aircraft under its own power. Depending on who is moving the aircraft. Most times maintenance will taxi and ramp will usual use the tug and tow it. Sometimes maintenance also needs to perform operational duties as well, so they will taxi the aircraft for those reasons too
@@StigAviation very interesting, thank you!!
I ass-ume you aren't allowed to start the engines and use those as forward propulsion to move the aircraft.
Actually i am allowed, im rated for taxi and high power run ups on all our fleets. So if this was a reposition from hangar to the Gate, i would have taxied under aircraft power (ran the engines and move the aircraft)
Glorious!
😂 always late to the gate JK
lol we do our best for no delay
