WEBVTT 00:01.040 --> 00:04.620 the purpose of my job in the purpose of 00:04.630 --> 00:06.797 my flights job . And all the personnel 00:06.797 --> 00:09.400 here are to ensure that aircraft 00:09.400 --> 00:11.770 arriving apart safely from Ramstein Air 00:11.770 --> 00:14.460 Base without the members of the 86 00:14.470 --> 00:16.710 Airfield Operations Flight Ram signs 00:16.710 --> 00:19.140 mission couldn't take off . So they're 00:19.140 --> 00:21.251 foot operations . Flight is comprised 00:21.251 --> 00:23.473 of three different FCS , so we have air 00:23.473 --> 00:25.640 traffic controllers . We have airfield 00:25.640 --> 00:27.807 management personnel and we have radar 00:27.807 --> 00:27.650 airfield on weather assistant 00:27.650 --> 00:30.460 technicians . So all of those three FCS 00:30.460 --> 00:33.980 come together to expedite the flow of 00:33.990 --> 00:36.690 operations for Ramstein Air Base in the 00:36.690 --> 00:39.450 local area . Every career field is 00:39.450 --> 00:41.617 missing essential here on this space . 00:41.617 --> 00:43.839 So air traffic controllers , if they're 00:43.839 --> 00:46.006 not at work if they're not controlling 00:46.006 --> 00:48.006 aircraft , we don't not have flight 00:48.006 --> 00:50.172 operations on Ramstein Air Base or air 00:50.172 --> 00:49.660 food management personnel . If they're 00:49.660 --> 00:51.882 not at work and they're not maintaining 00:51.882 --> 00:54.830 the airfield , they will not be able to 00:54.840 --> 00:57.190 keep the airfield in a safe condition 00:57.200 --> 00:59.930 for flight operations . If there is 00:59.940 --> 01:02.350 equipment left on a runway , if there 01:02.360 --> 01:04.630 is cracks forming and a surface careful 01:04.630 --> 01:06.963 management , someone's identify that on , 01:06.963 --> 01:08.963 we'll suspend runway operations are 01:08.963 --> 01:11.074 close to run away for safety purposes 01:11.074 --> 01:13.019 on their radar air foot on weather 01:13.019 --> 01:15.074 systems for those technicians or the 01:15.074 --> 01:16.908 one that maintain all of our air 01:16.908 --> 01:19.130 traffic control and landing systems and 01:19.130 --> 01:21.297 navigational aids . So , for example , 01:21.297 --> 01:23.408 and poor weather like we have today , 01:23.408 --> 01:25.574 if aircraft wanted to part , they need 01:25.574 --> 01:27.686 to use certain navigational aids that 01:27.686 --> 01:27.150 need to be function at all times if 01:27.150 --> 01:29.150 they're not functional , if they're 01:29.150 --> 01:31.150 working in properly and correctly , 01:31.150 --> 01:33.206 that's a hazard to flight safety and 01:33.206 --> 01:34.872 can cause serious mishaps are 01:34.872 --> 01:37.990 situations that are unsafe due to their 01:37.990 --> 01:40.110 importance . Thes members work around 01:40.110 --> 01:43.160 the clock . The work tempo is very high 01:43.160 --> 01:45.382 in their foot operations . Flight s air 01:45.382 --> 01:47.327 traffic control . Um , typically , 01:47.327 --> 01:49.190 they're working 24 7 way , have 01:49.200 --> 01:51.422 different shifts throughout the day and 01:51.422 --> 01:53.478 the night , but our airfield remains 01:53.478 --> 01:55.589 open at all times , So that means our 01:55.589 --> 01:57.700 mission remains active at all times . 01:57.700 --> 01:59.867 Careful management personnel also 24 7 01:59.867 --> 02:01.867 facility . Since their food doesn't 02:01.867 --> 02:03.922 close , they need to be out there at 02:03.922 --> 02:06.200 all times a day . Morning . Night . Uh , 02:06.200 --> 02:08.089 Thio , evaluate the safety of our 02:08.089 --> 02:10.033 airfield and then radar airport on 02:10.033 --> 02:12.033 weather system technicians or Roz . 02:12.033 --> 02:14.144 They're always on call to come in for 02:14.144 --> 02:16.311 any type of outages . So if our radios 02:16.311 --> 02:18.367 air down and air traffic controllers 02:18.367 --> 02:20.589 can talkto aircraft , they get recalled 02:20.589 --> 02:22.700 immediately so they can go toe work . 02:22.700 --> 02:24.922 And I bring those systems back online . 02:24.922 --> 02:26.978 So as long as aircraft are flying on 02:26.978 --> 02:29.089 Ramstein are people are gonna be busy 02:29.089 --> 02:30.350 maintaining that operation Mhm .
