What Does an Aviation Inspector Do?

Aviation personnel are divided into flight attendants-flight attendants, including pilots, navigators, flight mechanics, flight communicators, flight attendants; ground personnel-ground personnel, including civil aircraft maintenance personnel, air traffic controllers, flight dispatchers, Aviation Radio Correspondent.

Aviation personnel

Article 39 of the "Civil Aviation Law of the People's Republic of China" The aviation personnel referred to in this Law refers to the following air and ground personnel engaged in civil aviation activities:

Article 40 Aviation personnel shall receive special training, pass the assessment, and obtain a license issued by the competent civil aviation authority of the State Council before they can perform the work specified in their license. Before obtaining the license, the air crew and air traffic controller shall also be inspected by a medical examination unit recognized by the competent civil aviation authority of the State Council, and shall obtain a medical examination certificate issued by the competent civil aviation authority of the State Council.

Article 41 When performing flight missions, air crew members shall carry their licenses and physical examination certificates, and shall be subject to inspection by the competent civil aviation authority under the State Council.

Article 42 Aviation personnel shall undergo the scheduled or irregular inspections and assessments by the competent civil aviation authority under the State Council: those who pass the inspections and assessments may continue to perform the tasks specified in their licenses. Air crews should also participate in regular emergency procedures training. If the flight crew's intermittent flight time exceeds the time limit prescribed by the competent civil aviation authority of the State Council, it shall be subject to inspection and assessment; flight crew members other than the flight attendant shall also be flown. Only those who pass the inspection, assessment and take flight can continue to perform the work specified in their license. ^[1]

Article 43 The crew of a civil aircraft consists of the captain and other air crew members. The pilot-in-command should be a pilot with the skills and experience to independently pilot this type of civil aircraft. The composition of the crew and the number of personnel shall comply with the regulations of the competent civil aviation authority under the State Council.

Article 44 The operation of a civil aircraft is the responsibility of the pilot-in-command. The pilot-in-command shall strictly perform his duties to protect the safety of the civil aircraft and the persons and property carried on it. The order issued by the pilot-in-command within his authority shall be executed by the personnel carried by the civil aircraft.

Article 45 Before the flight, the captain shall conduct necessary inspections of the civil aircraft; he shall not take off without inspection. The captain has the right to refuse to take off if he finds that civil aircraft, airports, weather conditions, etc. do not meet the requirements and cannot guarantee flight safety.

Article 46 In flight, the captain has the right to take any action that undermines the civil aircraft, disrupts the order within the civil aircraft, endangers the safety of the human shell or property carried on the civil aircraft, or otherwise endangers the safety of flight Necessary appropriate measures. In flight, in case of special circumstances, the captain has the right to dispose of the civil aircraft in order to ensure the safety of the civil aircraft and its personnel.

Article 47 If the captain finds that the crew members are unsuitable for flight missions, he has the right to propose adjustments to ensure flight safety.

Article 48 When a civil aircraft is in danger, the captain has the right to take all necessary measures and direct the crew and other personnel on the aircraft to take rescue measures. In an emergency where the distressed civil aircraft must be evacuated, the captain must take measures to first organize passengers to leave the civil aircraft safely; the crew must not leave the civil aircraft without the captain's permission; the captain should leave the civil aircraft last.

Article 49 In the event of an accident on a civil aircraft, the pilot-in-command shall report the accident to the competent civil aviation authority of the State Council in a timely manner, directly or through an air traffic control unit.

Article 50 The pilot-in-command receives a distress signal from a ship or other aircraft, or discovers a distressed ship, aircraft, and its personnel, shall report the distress situation to the nearest air traffic control unit in a timely manner and provide possible reasonable assistance.

Article 51 If the captain is unable to perform his duties for any reason during the flight, the pilot-in-command is second to the pilot in command; before the next stopover takes off, the owner or charterer of the civil aircraft shall designate a new aircraft Chief takes over.

Article 52 For a civil aircraft that has only one pilot and does not need to be equipped with other air crew members, the requirements for the captain in this section apply to that pilot. ^[1]

Reasonable diet and nutrition are of great significance for maintaining the health of aviation personnel, enhancing their physique, improving flight endurance, extending flight time and ensuring flight safety.

During high-altitude and high-speed flight, it is often encountered the combined effects of hypoxia, low pressure, acceleration, noise and vibration, which will have certain effects on the body's digestive and metabolic functions. Presented by reduced digestive gland secretion, prolonged gastric emptying time, abnormal taste and flatulence. During high altitude hypoxia, heat metabolism increases, and the previous standard of heat supply was too high, which caused many pilots to develop obesity, hyperlipidemia, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, which affected pilots' health, flight endurance, and flight years.

The right amount of protein and B vitamins can improve flight endurance.

You should not consume too much fat before the flight, as bile is reduced during the flight and fat digestion will be affected.

Pilot diets should be high in carbohydrates, low in fat, and moderate in protein. A high-carb diet can increase the body's endurance to low pressure and hypoxia.

Avoid fasting to prevent hypoglycemia and reactive hypoglycemia during flight.

Supplementing a certain amount of vitamins, such as vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin C, etc., can increase the enzyme activity in cells during hypoxia, strengthen tissue respiratory function and utilization of oxygen, and improve flight endurance.

Control your food intake. You must not eat before taking the flight, but you must not eat or drink to reduce and prevent airsickness.

Eat less foods containing cellulose and more gas, such as soy products, potatoes, leek, celery, etc.

Do not eat greasy foods, such as fried fish, roasted chicken, roast duck, etc. These foods are high in fat and high in protein. They are not easy to digest after eating and will increase the burden on the stomach and intestines. You should eat as little as possible or not.

You can eat some light and delicious foods rich in sugar and protein, such as bread, snacks, noodles, green leafy vegetables, lean meat, honey, etc. When the plane is taking off or landing, small foods such as chocolate, apple, hawthorn, and orange can be contained in the mouth, which can keep the air pressure on both sides of the eardrum of the ears balanced and change the discomfort.

Food should be easy to digest and less and refined to increase appetite.

Non-flight days are three meals, and flight days are four meals.

Reasonably arrange meal times. Breakfast is usually served 1 to 1.5 hours before the flight. Lunch should be served two hours before the flight. It is forbidden to fly on an empty stomach or immediately after a meal.
