Since the ambush
Nanchang, Jiangxi Province continues to have high temperatures
Hot weather
It's prohibitive
On the apron of Nanchang Changbei International Airport
The take-off and landing of planes are very busy
Ground crew, air crew, maintenance and other departments stick to their posts
Ensure that every aircraft leaves the port safely
Escort every passenger safely
In everyone's eyes
Civil aviation pilots are one
A mysterious and enviable profession
The work is chic and handsome
Hot days
And how do they ensure that their flights fly safely?
Yang Mingming is a captain of Jiangxi Airlines. At this time, he was preparing for the pre-flight flight of flight RY6679 - Nanchang to Chengdu. At the scene, Yang Mingming introduced the whole process of flight preparation to reporters, including dress code, alcohol test, check-in and so on. At the same time, pilots also need to pay attention to flight take-off and landing information, flight area control areas, weather, routes, etc.
Captain Yang Mingming of Jiangxi Airlines: As we have just said, the flight has been affected by the "Gemei" weather and has dissipated. However, there is still some weather in the last third of our route, so pay attention to this thunderstorm.
After the pre-flight preparations, the flight crew and cabin crew will enter the venue. After boarding, Yang Mingming quickly put on a reflective vest and got off the plane for an off-board inspection, while the co-pilot had to check the basic equipment in the cockpit.
Captain Yang Mingming, Jiangxi Airlines: We usually start from this place, and then do a round-the-plane inspection to check that our configuration and structure are complete, and whether some of our parts are damaged or not.
Wan Yun, co-pilot, Jiangxi Airlines: In our cockpit, our co-pilot mainly cooperates with the captain to ensure the safe operation of the flight.
Under the scorching sun, the ground temperature reached more than 40 °C, and Yang Mingming's eyes were always focused on all parts of the aircraft, such as the landing gear, tires, engines, various panels, and various lines. From the nose to the tail, from the right wing to the left wing, every part and every link is checked one by one.
Captain Yang Mingming of Jiangxi Airlines: We are checking the brakes, as well as the configuration of our wheels, whether there is any oil leakage, and we want to check its integrity. We have to check the blades of the engine for some bending, bird strikes and the like, and we have to check that all the structures are intact when we fly.
The engines of the aircraft emit a huge amount of heat, which can instantly heat the surrounding air to more than 80°C, and it can make people sweat when they get closer. In order to ensure that the flight takes off on time, the aircraft detour inspection should generally be controlled within 15 minutes, which requires Yang Mingming to complete the inspection within a limited time to ensure the safety of the flight.
Captain Yang Mingming of Jiangxi Airlines: It is not allowed to have problems anywhere on our plane. There is no small matter in our flight, and we must carry it out carefully and conscientiously in every check.
Yang Mingming has not forgotten the sense of honor and responsibility given to him by this profession when he became a pilot. He said with a smile that although the inspection time around the machine is short, it is also hard work. After a few laps, his clothes were soaked.
Yang Mingming, captain of Jiangxi Airlines: The pressure of summer transportation has been very high recently, and the environment is more complicated. Typhoon Gemei has just dissipated, bringing a lot of moisture, and we will have some thunderstorms in the aviation to make a roundabout. It's hard work, but it's fun to be part of the flight.
