1 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:06,019 In the spirit of capable airmen concept . 2 00:00:06,030 --> 00:00:08,086 We're trying to get our air crews to 3 00:00:08,086 --> 00:00:10,141 where they can be a little more self 4 00:00:10,141 --> 00:00:12,252 sufficient . Should they have to land 5 00:00:12,252 --> 00:00:14,474 in a location where they don't have any 6 00:00:14,474 --> 00:00:13,840 crew chief support or don't have crew 7 00:00:13,850 --> 00:00:16,059 chiefs with them . So I basically took 8 00:00:16,069 --> 00:00:18,340 them from landing in their aircraft at 9 00:00:18,350 --> 00:00:21,540 a location with little or no support to 10 00:00:21,549 --> 00:00:23,716 being able to through flight their own 11 00:00:23,716 --> 00:00:26,010 aircraft to be able to put fuel on the 12 00:00:26,020 --> 00:00:28,242 airplane , to inspect it for any damage 13 00:00:28,242 --> 00:00:30,409 or anything that keep them from flying 14 00:00:30,409 --> 00:00:32,631 again and to put gaseous oxygen on it . 15 00:00:32,631 --> 00:00:36,590 Should they need to do that ? A lot of 16 00:00:36,599 --> 00:00:39,500 that stuff as booms , we are certified 17 00:00:39,509 --> 00:00:41,453 and qualified on . But we have the 18 00:00:41,453 --> 00:00:43,509 luxury of 90% of the time when we go 19 00:00:43,509 --> 00:00:45,509 somewhere , we do have a crew chief 20 00:00:45,509 --> 00:00:47,909 with us . So now that this is becoming 21 00:00:47,919 --> 00:00:50,849 more prevalent , it is very beneficial 22 00:00:50,860 --> 00:00:53,027 to be out with the crew chiefs and the 23 00:00:53,027 --> 00:00:55,249 guys that are doing this routinely on a 24 00:00:55,249 --> 00:00:57,416 daily basis just to help get some reps 25 00:00:57,416 --> 00:01:00,479 for us . Yeah , their boom operators 26 00:01:00,490 --> 00:01:03,770 are air crew . So chances are in real 27 00:01:03,779 --> 00:01:05,779 world scenario if they were just to 28 00:01:05,779 --> 00:01:08,001 land someplace like this . Probably the 29 00:01:08,001 --> 00:01:07,819 pilots would be pretty busy with 30 00:01:07,830 --> 00:01:09,830 whatever they have going on and the 31 00:01:09,830 --> 00:01:12,052 boom operator would probably be the guy 32 00:01:12,052 --> 00:01:14,274 that comes downstairs and will be doing 33 00:01:14,274 --> 00:01:13,930 some of the maintenance task , getting 34 00:01:13,940 --> 00:01:15,107 ready to fly again . 35 00:01:17,819 --> 00:01:20,559 I say the biggest thing would be just a 36 00:01:20,569 --> 00:01:22,650 refueling panel down there . How old 37 00:01:22,660 --> 00:01:26,349 the switches are this jet being so old ? 38 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,582 It's still sometimes . So you learn new 39 00:01:28,582 --> 00:01:30,870 things and it's nice how simple some of 40 00:01:30,879 --> 00:01:32,990 the stuff is like nowadays , a lot of 41 00:01:32,990 --> 00:01:35,157 things we try to over complicate . And 42 00:01:35,157 --> 00:01:37,268 one of the lectures that we have with 43 00:01:37,268 --> 00:01:39,268 this is it's very straightforward . 44 00:01:39,268 --> 00:01:38,730 What you see is what you get . 45 00:01:38,739 --> 00:01:40,961 Everything is laid out as the same as a 46 00:01:40,961 --> 00:01:42,961 fuel panel up here , which we're as 47 00:01:42,961 --> 00:01:45,183 booms used to looking at where the fuel 48 00:01:45,183 --> 00:01:47,406 are , how the body tanks and everything 49 00:01:47,406 --> 00:01:49,572 is laid out , laid out pretty much the 50 00:01:49,572 --> 00:01:51,850 same downstairs as far as the switches . 51 00:01:53,589 --> 00:01:55,811 Actually , there's been , I think times 52 00:01:55,811 --> 00:01:58,033 where they've landed and they've had to 53 00:01:58,033 --> 00:02:00,256 at least check their own oil , which is 54 00:02:00,256 --> 00:01:59,419 one of the tasks that we went through 55 00:01:59,430 --> 00:02:01,430 today where they've had to actually 56 00:02:01,430 --> 00:02:03,374 check their own oil . And the nice 57 00:02:03,374 --> 00:02:05,430 thing about our unit is a lot of the 58 00:02:05,430 --> 00:02:07,597 guys have roots in maintenance or have 59 00:02:07,597 --> 00:02:09,652 been prior maintenance . So a lot of 60 00:02:09,652 --> 00:02:11,763 those guys have the ability to recall 61 00:02:11,763 --> 00:02:11,529 some of that training and do that stuff 62 00:02:11,539 --> 00:02:13,428 for themselves . But some of them 63 00:02:13,428 --> 00:02:15,595 haven't . And our goal is to make them 64 00:02:15,595 --> 00:02:15,660 as self sufficient as possible .
