　　Li Linshuang, a "post-00s generation", is a female maintenance base. She currently works at the Chongqing maintenance base of HNA Aviation Technology Co., Ltd. and is one of the few female maintenance bases at the base.

Locomotive maintenance work has long shift hours, irregular work and rest, and a special operating environment on the airport ramp. Few women join the job. People are often curious about Li Linshuang's career story.

　　"Ever since college, people have kept asking me why I studied this major." Li Linshuang told reporters that because he has had a certain understanding of aircraft maintenance work since he was a child, he feels that being able to "treat" aircraft is very powerful, and he likes to disassemble and assemble. , almost "doomed" her career.

In college, she also majored in general aircraft maintenance, which is "corresponding" to her current job.

　　Flight is a comprehensive project, and aircraft maintenance, as an important part of flight support, requires a wealth of knowledge reserves.

During the theoretical study, Li Linshuang mastered relevant knowledge in physics, chemistry, machinery, electrical, English, aircraft models, etc.

While in school, she obtained a civil aviation maintenance personnel license.

　　"Maintenance is a job that requires lifelong learning." Li Linshuang said that after entering work, the necessity of learning further increases. At work, you will be exposed to a lot of knowledge that cannot be learned in school.

It is reported that from a licensed "rookie" to a mature aircraft maintenance officer, it takes at least 4 to 5 years of learning.

　　Specifically, in addition to knowledge and skills, maintenance work requires practitioners to have good hands-on ability, pressure-bearing ability, emergency response ability, communication and coordination ability, decision-making ability, investigation and research ability and other abilities.

"These require us to continuously accumulate and form them with concentration, care, patience, etc. in our daily work." Li Linshuang said.

　　As a female maintenance worker, Li Linshuang's usual work content is no different from that of her male colleagues.

However, everyone takes good care of her as a "little junior sister" and will help her take on more tasks that require a lot of physical exertion, such as carrying aviation equipment.

　　In Li Linshuang's view, aircraft maintenance is a highly organized job, and all work is carried out in accordance with prescribed procedures.

"It seems to be unchanged, but it is actually full of challenges." Li Linshuang said that the difficulty of these familiar and repetitive tasks is to "complete them with the same high quality."

　　The 2024 Spring Festival that just passed was Li Linshuang's first Spring Festival when she started working.

Next, the civil aviation season will change again, and she is busy and fulfilled.

Aircraft maintenance work is related to the safety of passengers, the happiness of millions of families, and the stability and prosperity of the civil aviation industry. This is also the responsibility of aircraft maintenance workers, which requires them to be serious and careful, and "no carelessness is allowed".

　　In the future, Li Linshuang will continue to work hard, constantly enrich and improve herself through learning and training, gradually master every skill in aircraft maintenance, protect flight safety, and eventually become an outstanding maintenance personnel and realize the career ideal of "aircraft doctor" .
