September 14 (Xinhua): I want to fly higher – the General Staff of Army aviation regiment 500,000 hours of flight safety notes

Xinhua News Agency reporter Li Yun, Zhou Jingbo, Zhao Wei

in Shanxi in this remote military airport, military helicopters accompanied by the breeze, lightly off the ground, fly, turn, and a smooth return to the embrace of the earth.

50 million flight hours, more than 3,000 military pilots from here, flying from the sky … … Gaili Army Aviation Air Force General Staff of Army aviation flight training of a group, has 55 years of flight safety, with the level of flight accident did not happen, creating a military flight safety flight record group.

recently, the PLA General Staff Headquarters of the PLA Army Aviation to promote this group to enhance the combat effectiveness while achieving the successful experience with flight safety. “They break a military helicopter flight safety is a worldwide problem, the flight unit of training for the army to provide a good reference and reference.” Evaluation of the General Staff, said Zhang Ming, Minister of Aviation.

Details, details

This is really a trivial matter.

orange apron on the eight coaches roar of the helicopter issue, crew members and professional support personnel are all in place.

a crew suddenly found that one of the helicopters of the toolbox less a piece of rag. Head Chengyan Li explained that each regiment has a number on a piece of cloth, placed in what position are required.

control tower sits flight commander then make a decision: do not find the piece of cloth, the helicopter can not take off.

heat of the sun, the crew full field investigation more than three hours, finally found a piece of grass in the wind to run the cloth, the flight continued.

“If the piece of cloth stuck to a part of the helicopter, it is possible plane crash, it is no longer a minor.” Chengyan Li said, “a piece of cloth could endanger the lives of his comrades , and even threatening a victory in battle. “

flight after the inspection, the mechanic check that the end of the beam 36, a helicopter instructor rivets missing. The helicopter is our own production of the new trainer, was still in the test phase.

next refueling tanker is for the driver saw the helicopter mechanic worried look, said: “Find a rivet installed does not have to?”

mechanic, said: “It is not However rivets to find lost, more important is to find out why the rivets out. “

maintenance group and the full field investigation of over two hours, only to find the sinking off the rivet, is still found at the end of a beam up to 4.5 cm crack – because the tail boom is cracking, leading to rivet off. And the crack in advance and was not found.

whole group immediately organized the models of all the helicopters on the census found that there are three helicopters similar problems.

“If you do not attach importance to these details, these helicopters to fly a few hours before a major accident may occur, think very scared.” Political commissar Wu Tung Kee said, it is precisely because the regiment many times improvements, mass production of these helicopters and troops have been finalized, the performance is very stable.

negative can not be protected security

someone joked, safety is not difficult, to affix seals the whole aircraft, on-line storage library.

head Chengyan Li said: “Safety from the difficult training, from the superb ability to dispose of danger.”

it was 10 years ago in March, the chill, hundreds of pairs of eyes staring nervously down the rickety landing of the air is 42 helicopters, was nervous and closed his eyes.

This is supposedly the regiment pump failure in the context of a certain type of hard-made helicopter without hydraulic flight control subjects landing training.

no hydraulic pressure, it means that two tons of iron lump multiple lost any power in the air, pilots can completely rely on the power to control his arms, is an extremely dangerous air special situations. This group is not assigned to the higher subjects of this training mission.

“including some of the regiment experienced pilots do not understand. This type of helicopter has not yet been fully finalized, flight instructors are still in the stage of conversion training, then training is too dangerous to carry out some aggressive.” Cheng Yanli Introduction said, but the group decided to take this party to win subjects.

determined the reason is because the first few months, the regiment also had a helicopter hydraulic failure of the danger, when the commander to the pilots from the tower was kept.

Fortunately, good luck, the helicopter muddle peace with the land.

“but where they come from so many lucky it? There is no perfect technology, relying on luck is not possible to guarantee safety.” Chengyan Li said. Since then, the regiment requires every skilled flight instructor must complete the operation without hydraulic hard landing.

In fact, excellent technical training played an important role: February 26, 1999, 26 hydraulic machines lost in flight, the pilot calm, hard to manipulate human land safely; 11, 2004 18, Sheng-Cai Li captain flew off 2000 meters, the sudden pump failure, he determined to close the hydraulic pressure, the use of hard to manipulate a safe landing.

years, the flight risk group of 22 subjects to focus on special intelligence research, time and time again to challenge the risk, time and time again to bring up the quality of training. Pilot in training has encountered sudden changes in weather, air stop, throttle failure and other 13 major air danger, usually with the bottom in to dispose of skills trained in special situations saved the day. Disposal of special circumstances have been incorporated into the teaching, so that student pilot flying at the same time in learning, we must study the air handling special situations.

system lies in the implementation of

“you know who I am?”

“understanding, you are political commissar.”

“So why not let us go?”

“because I did not notice.”

This is the airport two years ago in front of this group , sentry duty and the political commissar of the East Wu in mind a conversation.

At that time, Wu Tung Kee led the resident double support work leading group of comrades to observe the flight training, the results of a pedestrian is Duzaimenkou stunned until the sentry was only released at short notice.

military station in accordance with the regulations, to enter the station, the higher must be received notification. “In fact, each unit has a system, the key is able to implement.” Wu Tung-Kee said.

in this group, as such a strict implementation of rules and regulations are numerous examples: the night before the flight left camp accommodation system, from top to bottom for several years without one exception; simple boring pre-flight system of regular meetings, even decades of flying experience with the old mechanics are meticulous strictly implemented.

previous group in the party from a trivial thing to comprehend, to ensure flight safety must be strict rules and regulations, grasping the passive into active safety and accident prevention. To this end, they established a series of scientific work supporting the safety of dynamic preventive mechanism:

– party co-ordination mechanism. Scientific Co-ordination arrangements for the work, strict blocking security holes caused by hectic; insist the security situation analysis system, grasp the safety trends, develop appropriate measures.

– accident prevention and innovative mechanisms. Flight training at any time to crack difficult problems encountered, innovative prevention efforts improve the safety rules and regulations.

– group policy and prevention feedback mechanism. Clear authority, branch, thought the backbone of three feedback channels, build units, social, family Trinity feedback network, formed a catch all safety and accident prevention always a good situation.

– scientific safety assessment mechanism. In the personnel, equipment, management, and other aspects of combat readiness problems to sort out, based on the take “static, dynamic, looking back,” the scientific assessment methods to the base security forces really clear.

scientific safety mechanism for strict implementation of dynamic prevention, promote military training and security work in harmony.

7 28 is the team, “Flight Safety Day.” On this day every year, officers and men of the regiment will be in the helicopter before the vows: “I work error-free, my job, please rest assured.”

flight since the group formed six times been named “Military Training advanced units. ” In particular, they apply at the trial stage, not yet finalized a new coach helicopters, special proper disposal of the air, danger three times, failed to detect defects in 985, the 121 rule out risk of major failure, not only to ensure flight safety, successfully completed flight training mission, the helicopter industry is hailed as the model of “collective flight team.”
