When lifting the captain, the keywords that can be associated are "professional", "rigorous", "responsibility", and "safety". In every minute and second they are engaged in flight, they are fulfilling their supreme commitment to life and safety. In China , China Eastern Airlines , the "five-star captain" needs to fly safely for 4,000 hours and a total of 13,000 hours after becoming the responsible captain. This is not only a simple title, but also a strong affirmation of the captain's flight history.
At 14:39 and 14:42 pm on September 26, two flights MU5475 (Kunming-Hefei) and MU6410 ( Zhanjiang -Hefei) landed smoothly at Hefei Xinqiao Airport. The flight careers of the two "five-star captains" of China Eastern Airlines, Deng Qingfeng and Sun Dazhen, came to a successful end on the same day. Amid the warm applause of the crew, the two captains came to the apron to shake hands and greet each other, took photos with the crew members, and accepted everyone's most sincere blessings.
At 6:30 am on September 26, Deng Qingfeng had a pre-stop preparation meeting with the crew members, carefully studied the navigation weather data, route data, etc., clarified the precautions, and made plans in advance. For the two captains, the morning light and bright lights are both normal work, and ensuring absolute safety in flight is a lifelong pursuit. Over the past 40 years, Deng Qingfeng flew safely for 22,004 hours, with 5,479 take-offs and landings; Sun Dazhen flew safely for 23,600 hours, with 5,678 take-offs and landings. The long list of numbers is the most powerful proof of their love for the blue sky and protecting safety.
Created many "earliest"
0Sun Dazhen is the first five-star captain of China Eastern Airlines and the winner of the China Civil Aviation Gold Medal. In 1979, Sun Dazhen left his hometown Changde, Hunan to participate in the Air Force flight recruitment. After layers of selection, he entered the Air Force's 14th Aviation School ( China Civil Aviation Flight Academy ). He was assigned to Anhui in May 1982 to start the civil aviation flight career. He has been engaged in safety management at the Anhui Supervision Bureau of Civil Aviation since 2004. He was one of the earliest transport aircraft pilots at the beginning of the establishment of the Anhui Branch of China Eastern Airlines.
Sun Dazhen's flight skills are superb, and he has run the air 5, 14, 7, 24, DC-9, MD82, MD90, A320 models. In Sun Dazhen's flight career, the label of "earliest" is particularly eye-catching. He was one of the earliest pilots in Anhui to carry out the Y7 aircraft and one of the earliest flight instructors of the Y7 and MD82 aircraft. He has taught countless pilots, and has trained and delivered a large number of excellent pilots. Sun Dazhen was also one of the earliest pilots and televisors to fly regional routes by China Eastern Airlines. Since the summer of 1989, Sun Dazhen and his colleagues came to Shanghai to start learning English for one and a half years. In the early 1990s, he frequently traveled between domestic routes with Hong Kong, Macao, Japan and South Korea. During his flight career, Sun Dazhen also carried out a special mission of a political expert in an African country, and conducted a test flight of the Y7 aircraft in Yanliang, Xi'an.
The backbone of public welfare
Deng Qingfeng is from Liuyang, Hunan. After graduating from the 14th Air Force Aviation School (China Civil Aviation Flight Academy), he was assigned to the 13th Civil Aviation Flight Brigade of China. A year later, he went to the 14th Civil Aviation Flight Brigade of China and started his flight career for more than 40 years in Anhui. Deng Qingfeng flew through the Y5, Y7, MD82, MD90, and A320 models, and won the Civil Aviation Administration's first-class flight medal and the honorary title of China Eastern Airlines Five-Star Captain. While completing the flight mission, Deng Qingfeng held management positions in multiple departments of the Anhui Branch of China Eastern Airlines. What he talked about most was that during his work in the Communist Youth League, he won the title of Outstanding Communist Youth League Member of China Civil Aviation and the title of Outstanding League Cadre of China Eastern Airlines Group. In June 1998, Deng Qingfeng, as a delegation representative, attended the 14th National Congress of the Communist Youth League of China. This experience made him feel extremely glorious and he still cherishes old photos of the meeting at that time. In 1997, the Anhui Branch of China Eastern Airlines established the Anhui Hope Primary School in Jinzhai County, Lu'an City. Deng Qingfeng personally experienced it from the naming of the primary school to the establishment.In his opinion, the name of Hope Primary School "Anhui" is not only a coincidence that the "Anhui" flight attendance demonstration team of the Anhui Branch of China Eastern Airlines was rated as the National Youth Civilization Number, but also a symbol of China Eastern Airlines' roots in , Jianghuai . Over the past 20 years, the Anhui Branch of China Eastern Airlines has carried out more than 30 "Love in China Eastern Airlines" donation activities to Hope Primary School. A Eastern Airlines sergeant has also emerged from Hope Primary School. The children of "An Yan" have become "An Yan" who really soared in the blue sky.
Flight pursuit of safety is also science
"Since I graduated from high school at the age of 16 or 7, I have handed over my entire life to the civil aviation industry. The flying career is my lifelong pursuit." Talking about my 42 years of insight, Deng Qingfeng said: "Flight is a meticulous job, and safety is the top priority of flight; flight is also a rigorous science, and we must face every job in the flight process with a scientific attitude."
Also when reviewing his flight career, Sun Dazhen said that he focused on flying for more than 20 years and adhered to the bottom line of belief of "safety first"; he has been engaged in safety management for more than 20 years and explored scientific methods of safety management. Sun Dazhen said that he has witnessed the rapid development and growth of China's civil aviation with his personal experience, and has also contributed his own strength to the safe operation and safety supervision of civil aviation. In the future, with the arrival of domestic large aircraft of C919 and C929, China will truly embark on the road to becoming a strong civil aviation country.
Young people should set lofty ideals
Message to young people. Deng Qingfeng believes that people should "have ideals and pursuits" in order to have direction and goals for action. September 26th was of great significance to Sun Dazhen. Not only did he complete the farewell flight, his son also began his first flight and inherited his flying career. Sun Dazhen said: "My son has a flying ideal from beginning to end, and he has never given up even if he has already worked." His son seized the opportunity to successfully recruit flights, and became a pilot with his own efforts. He will soon officially start the civil aviation flight career. Sun Dazhen is proud of his son. The father and son completed the relay in the blue sky of the motherland and continued to contribute to the civil aviation cause.
