During the New Year's Day holiday, Xiamen Gaoqi Airport ushered in a small peak of passenger flow, with nearly 500 passenger planes entering and leaving the port every day. On the tarmac, whenever a plane stops, Liu Fanggui, a maintenance engineer of Xiamen Air Soaring Aircraft, and his team need to conduct a "physical examination" on them. He knows the "health" of each aircraft well.
Liu Fanggui, 42 years old this year, is a team leader in a grassroots management position, and is also a post expert, since he has always adhered to the work concept of "the sky must be safe, and hidden dangers remain on the ground", and has been deeply involved in front-line aircraft maintenance work for more than 20 years, escorting the life safety of passengers.
Each inspection is strict and meticulous, not letting go of a crack or a rivet
An airplane is a large-scale complex with a high degree of sophistication and complexity. The car broke down halfway, and it was still parked on the side of the road waiting for help. But the plane is operating at an altitude of 10,000 meters, and it must be foolproof. For example, if the blades of an aircraft engine are damaged, the blades may be in an unsafe state of operation due to unbalanced loads when the aircraft is running, which is very dangerous. In Liu Fanggui's eyes, this job does not tolerate the word "improvised": "A loose rivet, a small crack, or even a pit the size of a pin's eye on the plane may threaten the safety of aviation flight, so every inspection must be strict and meticulous." ”
From screws and covers, to the entire aircraft wing, skin, fuselage, engine blades, ......Every link of the pre-flight inspection requires a high degree of mental concentration, both hands and eyes, and dare not be negligent for a moment - on the docked stand, the bottom of the aircraft is only about 1 meter away from the ground, in the narrow space, Liu Fanggui almost groped all the way to the bottom of the aircraft in the way of "squatting" to explore the key points of maintenance at the bottom of the aircraft, and to complete such a round of pre-flight inspection, it is normal for work clothes to be soaked with sweat.
New Year's Day holiday flight volume increased Chinese New Year's Eve once again became a "night watchman".
Check the work card checklist one by one, this is the last step of Liu Fanggui's review before the plane, each work point that needs to be paid attention to on the test sheet, do one, sign one, this stroke is not only for the professional Yan Jin, but also for the awe of life.
With the full recovery of the civil aviation industry, the number of flights during this year's New Year's Day holiday has increased significantly. For us, this means that our work should not only ensure safety, but also focus on service and efficiency, so that we can ensure the safety and punctuality of our flights, and live up to the trust that passengers trust us. ”
Flights do not stop, work does not stop, Chinese New Year's Eve Liu Fanggui once again became the "night watchman" of Xiamen Gaoqi Airport, in Liu Fanggui's heart, his perseverance is for passengers to arrive better.
