00:00.240 --> 00:04.040
Uh huh . Today we're doing

00:04.040 --> 00:06.720
aircraft alignment checks after the

00:06.720 --> 00:08.720
aircraft suffered a hard landing in

00:08.720 --> 00:10.890
february . This is the last step in

00:10.890 --> 00:13.001
making sure that the aircraft is safe

00:13.001 --> 00:14.946
for flight . We want to ensure the

00:14.946 --> 00:17.001
aircraft is aligned within technical

00:17.001 --> 00:18.890
parameters so that it doesn't fly

00:18.890 --> 00:20.946
crooked so that the air crew doesn't

00:20.946 --> 00:23.168
have to use an excessive amount of trim

00:23.168 --> 00:25.500
to fly straight and level . C . Was

00:25.510 --> 00:27.510
gracious enough to bring over their

00:27.510 --> 00:29.288
total station , which is a more

00:29.540 --> 00:32.670
advanced piece of technologies and our

00:32.680 --> 00:34.910
transit and they're actually showing us

00:35.540 --> 00:38.280
how to use that to make sure the

00:38.280 --> 00:40.970
aircraft is level and it's not out of

00:40.970 --> 00:44.550
alignment . We got five individuals

00:44.550 --> 00:46.883
from Grissom that are here to assist us .

00:47.170 --> 00:50.510
They they've done this task before . We

00:50.510 --> 00:52.399
have nobody here that's done this

00:52.980 --> 00:55.270
aircraft alignment tasks . So they are

00:55.270 --> 00:58.090
here to help us train and get our guys

00:58.090 --> 01:00.423
qualified so we can do it in the future .

01:00.640 --> 01:03.190
I've been on 1 10 years ago and I

01:03.190 --> 01:05.940
haven't seen one since the guys here

01:05.940 --> 01:08.620
training us from Grissom . I think four

01:08.620 --> 01:10.676
years ago was the last time they did

01:10.676 --> 01:13.460
one . So it's not a very common task ,

01:13.840 --> 01:15.618
so we try to get as many people

01:15.618 --> 01:18.640
involved as possible . Yeah .
