00:30The
00:59amount of work that was done on this is incredible, staggering. We just turn up as crew to come
01:06and check it, functional check crew and technical pilots to have a look at it at the end of
01:11the huge amount of work that's been done to make sure this aircraft is in a great condition.
01:16It is in very good condition, probably the best condition when it comes out of this heavy
01:21check. It's done its 12 year check, new landing gear, a lot of components have been taken off
01:27and put back on, a lot of new components so it's in extra conditions, thousands, hundreds
01:32of thousands of man hours have been done. It's good fun for us to do, it's a bit out of the
01:35ordinary for what we normally do and then from there it had a couple of little things to tidy
01:43up which was good and that was done for our ferry today which we took off yesterday for
01:47the next day in 18 hours and got it here.
01:54On the other hand, we had a lot of cópies, it was gone on the bus, so we were out of the
02:00new car and got it all away.
02:02So now let's see, what is the rest of the car?
02:06The new car has been done. It's big enough for us to keep us in the names of these
02:06places. The new cars and the new cars are made up.
02:12The new car has been tuned for the new cars in the car.
02:15Previously, the number two engine has been replaced.
02:39Now we're going to do number three engine this morning, removing the original cow and
02:44replacing it with a modified one.
02:46So all up currently, there's about 155 hours on this pack.
02:51There's some inbound defects that we will look at and then get that all squared away.
02:56This is the big task, the engine replacement.
02:59The rest of it is just rectifying all the faults that occurred on the way here.
03:04So right now we'll get this cowl off, continue on the rest of the maintenance in the pack
03:09and yeah, we'll send it on its way.
03:12Getting the aircraft in Victoria was challenging.
03:14Being in the desert, you expect anything.
03:17We had hot, cold, wind, yeah, we had the works.
03:21However, it was a bit of a satisfaction getting this aircraft out after a lot of work that
03:26has been put in it, yeah.
03:28For myself, it's a sense of satisfaction.
03:30For the company, it's a bit of pride.
03:33Everything just falling into place.
03:36The plane right now is in the A380 hangar, the only A380 hangar in North America.
03:45So the aircraft, it's got that very new plane smell.
03:49So it's beautiful, you know, it's a bit of a difference.
04:01It's beautiful.
04:02It's beautiful.
04:06It's beautiful.
04:11It's beautiful.
