They want to deactivate it while doing as little work as possible, the switch being there won't affect any operations. Agian also easier to reactivate if that is the desire of the operator.

Was getting sick of digging through the bag of pins in the door for the gear pins, so I created a 3d print model of a gear pin holder to make them easier to find. Made like the ones that come on the 650 not sure if this originally came with the aircraft and was lost or they never had one. Either way this fits the pins quite well, will have to see how it holds after time may need to change material after all the hot and cold cycles.

With the diagram you have shown the airstairs are deactivated most likley by operator request. Either they aren't using them to costly to maintain or any combination of those to.

Deactivation through pulling the CB and applying permanent collar is much easier(cheaper) for MX and also makes reactivation easier if they decide to go that route.

No the C/B are pulled with a permanent collar usually red.

Yeah it's disabled inop because C/B collared.

Never personally seen a 737 with airstairs i have seen some BBJ and other wide body equipped with them as option or Modification after the fact.

Probably disabled because they no longer need it or want to maintain it.

Would like to see it here to be for sure but to me sounds like the triangle (a flag) is showing that a component is inop at time of installation. You will see these or similar alot of STC or engineering drawings for new installations as components will he installed wired up tested but then be INOP or unusable until final approval from authorities. Then revision will be made and inop flag removed.

Could be other reasons but that's the only one I can think of.

I found it very annoying installing the pitot static covers on G650 aircraft especially while on the road. The upper Pitot static ports are just out of reach end up trying to stand on a chock my shirt gets un tucked ect. The gulfstream tool is way to big comes on a giant pole have to store it in the cargo and we are typically max load. I have found this tool much quicker and more convenient. I added an extra extension in case you are shorter. This is version 1 of this tool, I would like to design a handle that folds or extends in and out to make it quicker easier and smaller, but still testing different ideas. I printed mine out of ABS plastic for strength but i feel that any type would be suitable for this print.

Here is a simple tool to help you loosen a cannon plug in a high density area. This should allow you to remove just the cannon plug that you want without having to losses all others just to reach the one that you want. This needs to be printed in either ABS plastic or Nylon/Carbon, PLA is to weak for this application. This is the first iteration of the tool I have seen these before but as I use it I will update the file and try to improve form factor and strength.
