In the past two days, the Beijing Winter Olympic Games are in full swing, and the Olympic athletes have won gold and silver.
In another "winter arena", aviation people also have a "tide maker" active in the ice and snow.
"Instantly freeze to the heart!"
The temperature in the early morning plummeted to minus 25°C, and it was another extremely cold weather with a lot of air.
A party-member commando team carrying out C inspection tasks in Shaanxi Fei of the aviation industry ushered in an extremely crucial day. They stepped forward, brightly served as pioneers and shouldered responsibilities as an example, fully demonstrated the responsibility of aviation personnel, and successfully completed the task of unsealing and testing the aircraft.
An outfield environment with a mixture of air and ice
At 6:00 a.m., after a simple wash, the team members rushed to the outside field, instantly freezing cold. The body temperature that everyone had just accumulated instantly "ran" without a trace. Within two minutes of walking, the snow had not reached the knees, and everyone's eyelashes were covered with a shallow layer of frost.
On the eyebrows, on the eyelashes, full of gel cream
Scramble, scramble to get frozen...
"It's so cold!" Everyone muttered in their mouths, hurried to see the plane, even if they had covered it with protective clothing early, they were still afraid that it would "freeze". Arriving at the airport, looking at the plane wrapped thickly in a "white cotton jacket", everyone laughed and joked a few words of "cuteness", and immediately entered the working state.
Stepping up the test task can not be delayed for a moment, "overcoming difficulties, efficient work, and striving to do a good job at one time" has become the consensus of everyone.
In the early hours of the morning, the field support team entered a tense working state
"Let's form a circle and have a brief pre-winding meeting on the spot." Captain Cao Qi observed the scene environment while beckoning everyone to get off the plane.
Live meetings in the snow and ice
"This mission is stressful, the responsibility is heavy, the epidemic situation and the external environment in the station are very severe, we must first pay attention to safety, and secondly, do a good job and do a beautiful job!"
Everyone stomped their feet, sighed, smiled on their faces, and scrambled to "freeze", and the atmosphere at the scene became "hot". Looking at the group of team members who were about to wrap up in "rice dumplings" in front of him, Cao Qi felt funny and distressed.
"After work, have a snow clearing campaign!"
Wheel wars vs extreme cold weather
After skillfully inspecting the aircraft engine, Cao Qi cooperated with Wang Sining to remove the aircraft plug and block the cap, cao Yangang, a hydraulic professional, repeatedly checked the hydraulic pump that had just been reinstalled the day before, Song Hongxin, a high-level professional, carefully inspected the aircraft body and rudder surface, and did not let go of a screw and rivet, Ren Junjie, an electrical major, and An Rui, a radio radar major, carried out aircraft power operations together.
Meticulous and check one by one
Excellent professional skills and excellent maintenance style allow them to maintain an orderly operation process in the harsh outdoor operation of the extreme cold. Inspector Wu Yunsheng, who is nearly 60 years old, meticulously conducts one by one inspections. This is a man with decades of work experience and who has been repeatedly awarded the honorary title of excellent inspector, and in his eyes there is no room for mistakes.
The cold slowed everyone's movements. In order to keep the task node, Zhou Wenjie, Wang Mingjun and Xiao Bin, who were drawn from the assembly plant, the quality control department, and the component company, were not idle for a moment. They either helped to pull ladders, or handed tools, brother unit general representatives and managers actively joined the action, the plane went up and down, good not lively.
On and off the plane, in teams, in an orderly manner
Pressing the start button, the engine unsealed normally, one start, two starts, suddenly, electrician Ren Junjie suddenly captured a subtle sound. The specific position could not be determined for a short time, and the engine had to stop. Everyone looks at the drawings and analyzes the short circuit situation of the line.
Cao Qi, An Rui, and An Xuebin opened the side cover of the engine and held a three-purpose meter waiting for measurement. They stood on the work ladder for 5 minutes, which seemed long and difficult in the cold weather. Unplug the ignition coil for measurement, turn on the ignition circuit separately, check the section by section... The temperature was too low to persist for a long time in this harsh environment, so everyone had to take a "wheel war", taking turns to go up to help, and rotating once every 5 minutes.
Get used to freezing
Cao Qi and Ren Junjie's hats and masks were already covered with a layer of ice, and when the wind blew through, their faces and foreheads were like knives cutting.
An Rui and An Xuebin were shivering with cold, but still insisted on taking the drawings and finding plugs. Cao Yangang and Song Hongxin take turns pushing and pulling the engine work ladder and handing tools. Wang Sining always waited for the engine instructions to power up, power down, turn on, and disconnect, for fear of missing a signal.
They eventually confirmed that something was wrong with the finished product. According to the regulations, it is not allowed to disassemble the cable, and everyone contacts the finished product supporting manufacturer for the first time to inform the specific situation, and they authorize them to check again. "Are you sure?" "Yes!" In the low temperature, everyone's answer was unusually firm. In the end, the fault was successfully eliminated and the test drive returned to normal...
Such a work scene is a daily situation for everyone who is guaranteed in extremely cold weather.
Anrui said: "I get used to freezing." I want to complete the compass calibration, and I often stop in the snow for 1 hour. At the end of each job, both feet were frozen unconscious. And the eyes should still be fixed on the calibrator, and you can't miss any small point. In such a high-precision position, it must be done well at once. ”
Cao Qi had to check the fuel lines on the wings. This position is special and requires work at height. Every time he started his homework, he would come down and become an "old man with a white beard", his hat and mask covered with ice crystals. The electrical major has to complete the installation of 8 DC engines and 4 AC engines, and it is difficult to complete the difficult installation on the engine work ladder wearing thick gloves in such weather. An Xuebin of the mineless group and Cao Yangang of the hydraulic group, the hands and feet from cold to unconscious to tingling numbness, the whole body is frozen, they just ridicule who has better tolerance, who walks in a better posture.
"Split a fork and unclog the bones."
In a foreign country, they have withstood the test of extremely cold weather, and they have fulfilled the promise of an aviation man to the motherland...
