passenger, I'm afraid you won't
feel our presence during all the flights, but my colleagues and I will silently escort you in places you can't
see, no matter how high or how far, just to protect your safe journey.
this is a lonely career. On the first day of work, teacher < P > Fu told me that if I want to be a qualified air traffic controller, then I must be able to stand loneliness.
In my later work practice, I discovered that the master's words are really
the wisdom of a hundred tempering makes steel. The flight is 24
hours a day, and the controller's work naturally does not distinguish between day and night. For us, weekends and legal holidays
are almost meaningless. On the contrary, the more ordinary people get together with their families
, the busier we are. In the busy
work, every flight is the focal point that we should pay attention to, and our companions are only the flashing screen
and the radio in our hands, so day after day, year after year
. When the flight is busy, attention needs to be highly concentrated for a long time. Those complicated procedures and instructions all involve the safety of passengers' lives and property. The fatigue that rises from the bottom of my heart sometimes makes me feel like a soul. When busyness has become a habit,
then leisure makes people feel miserable. It's a long night, and there are only a few flights left to return home. All we can do is
wait silently, waiting for the signal of the captain's return in the long silent radio channel
. I don't know whether I feel lonely
because I am lonely, or whether I feel lonely
because of loneliness. In those countless days and nights, my colleagues and I stuck to this position, and I
endured loneliness, and we also kept the peace for every
passenger coming and going to Yantai Airport. No matter whether you are sailing or
returning, our air traffic controllers will protect you every minute of the 86,4 seconds of the earth's rotation.
high risk is a major feature of this profession. Long ago, the sky in front of
was open and free, and all kinds of aviation
aircraft shuttled freely in the air. People enjoy the freshness and convenience brought by modern science and technology, but they don't realize that
the sky above us is becoming more and more chaotic. Finally, one day in the middle of the twentieth century, two planes collided head-on over the United States. At this time, people realize that the traffic in the sky should be managed and restricted just like the traffic on the ground, so as to form a certain order, so as to ensure flight safety. Yu
is a new profession-air traffic controllers are born
. It can be said that the birth of this profession is accompanied by pressure and
risk. As an air traffic controller, even if you have successfully
dispatched one million planes, if you make one mistake,
the result will be disaster. Therefore, compared with the occupation of air traffic controller, there are not many occupations whose risk performance < P > exceeds it. In fact, many people don't know that although the sky is vast, < P > the space available for flying is very limited. Civil aviation
flights generally fly along the
route set up by radio navigation equipment, and once they deviate from the route, they may get lost
or encounter danger. Every day, thousands of planes shuttle back and forth on the route
, rising and falling. In order to ensure that the planes don't have the risk of collision, controllers need to provide a certain interval and height between them. Only when the specified height is greater than the specified interval, the plane will be considered safe.
heavy workload is another major feature of this profession.
The crew members conduct strict qualification examination every day according to the flight plan
submitted by airlines. The main contents of the examination
include the nationality, registration number, model, route direction,
flight altitude, operation time, flight rules to be used, etc.
Only the flight plan approved by the Civil Aviation Administration of China will
be allowed to be implemented. Dealing with this huge amount of information is undoubtedly a
headache. But this is only the tip of the iceberg in the daily air traffic control < P > work. After reviewing the flight plan application,
the flight plan of the corresponding
flight needs to be worked out on the intelligent information processing system. Immediately before each flight
takes off, a fixed-format pilot
plan must be sent to all units participating in
air traffic control along the route within the specified time limit. This will ensure that every controller involved in the control of this flight
can get the detailed information of the flight, and then
make the command and dispatch accurate. After the plane takes off, the pilot
flies the plane along the established route according to the instructions of the controller. The controllers closely monitor
the flight dynamics of each plane through the monitoring equipment, and issue various instructions to the pilot through the radio communication equipment, including flight altitude,
speed and heading, etc. When busy, the controller needs to command and dispatch as many as a dozen or more planes at the same time, and
he must pay attention to every detail, because any mistake
may cause irreparable consequences. Therefore, to become a
qualified controller, besides being alert, calm, decisive, responsible and psychologically competent, you need to have
rich professional knowledge and superb business skills.
Now my master has been in this obscure post for 26 years, dedicating the best years of her life to this lonely post. At first, I
couldn't understand what made generations of air traffic controllers willing to
spend their youth for this lonely post. After working for many years
, I gradually realized that the reason why they stick to their posts and endure loneliness
is only because of their love in their hearts and their persistent love for air traffic controllers
. As a disciple of my master, I am more and more tolerant of loneliness now ...
