  • Look what is going on here is the mechanic is doing a starter bypass. The engine's start valve is probably MEL'ed and you have to do a manual open and close of the valve. The hand signals are for him to close the valve after the captain has a good start. This is not a very common occurrence, but it is something that is done on aircraft. The only reason that its not common is that the aircraft would require mechanics at all the cities it flies to. As mechanics are the only ones that do this.

  • i would love to have a job like that

  • go side wards

  • me too i will love to have his job

  • Hey colorado dude. These engines can suck a fucking massive luggage cart into the intake at startup.... This fucking guy was in a very dangerous place at that RPM.

  • Where the hell was this? Bakalavia? The engine wad held on w/ duct tape..

  • @coloradopast LMFAO!!!! thats what i was thinking.... that or a couple of donkeys.

  • whats wrong with the teenagers filming this? This isnt anything spectacular, its pretty common - they sound like a couple of retarded stoners.

  • I swear to god I saw him pull out his phone to text lol

  • The only dangerous place is in front of the intake or directly behind the jet pipe, unless of course the starter motor spits it's compressor blades out. I've seen quite a few 'Hamilton Standard' starters do this and they are devastating when they let go!

  • I don't know why so many people give this a thumbs down... it's not the videographer's fault that this is dangerous... it's a very interesting video!

  • its too cold for him
