Inside Aircraft Heavy Maintenance - Flying Azul Embraer + A330neo

  • I took a flight from one of the most spectacular airports; Santos Dumont in Rio de Janeiro to São Paulo Campinas with Azul Embraer 195. The captain explained about the special operation in and out of Santos Dumont, it required manual precision landing and full power short field takeoff. Watch how my flight departed the airport with just 1,320m long runway!
    In Campinas Airport, I visited Azul Airlines maintenance and engineering facility. I was shown an Azul A330 on jacks without wheels and going through landing gear maintenance and changes. Mr Jorge, a manager at the facility showed me carbon fiber and composite materials, repairs of interiors and components such as nose, elevator, engine reverser, wiring, batteries and paint hangar. If you’re interested in aircraft engineering, this is the place for you!
    In the evening, I flew out of Campinas for Lisbon on Azul A330neo with brand new interior. Watch how the pilot flies the A330neo from the camera in the cockpit.

    Great video! I didn't realise the LEAP engine has carbon fibre fan blades! Also just for anybody that might have been a little confused about the copper mesh being integrated into the carbon fibre @ 7:13 ish, it's just to enure that if the plane is hit by lightning the energy wont be absorbed by the carbon fibre, it will pass through the copper and away from the plane, causing minimal damage if it's all bonded together properly. Great video.

Congratulations! And sorry for our terrible English, it's a big problem here, even though the maintenance center guy did really well.

The current safety levels in aviation are due to all these men and women who work tirelessly to ensure the safety of all passengers and crew, not only in Brazil, but throughout the world. And by the way, welcome to my home country, Portugal. I hope you enjoy your time in Portugal.

    Thank you very much, respected Mr. Sam chui , for this video and all the episodes he presents for the sake of community service. We hope to devote an episode to the people who give advice when they sit near a person and are crowding others. Every person giving advice must buy a card for two people so as not to crowd others, and we suffer from this phenomenon in America. Canada, Europe and other countries, unfortunately, with regard to aviation maintenance, companies have begun to think only about money, and for the sake of collecting money, not for the safety of society.

Muito bom, na realidade bem melhor que o do tripulante do Embraer. A estrutura da Azul é sensacional, uma pena que os salários ofertados para os profissionais da manutenção não são atrativos, muitos profissionais deixando a empresa para outras (internacionais) e alguns até mesmo para trabalharem como motorista de aplicativo, onde são menos exigidos e muitas vezes tem uma remuneração melhor.
