1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,060 So what would you do if you need to 2 00:00:03,060 --> 00:00:06,170 load an Apache helicopter on a plane 3 00:00:06,470 --> 00:00:08,760 and the winch was broken , he would 4 00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:10,816 attempt to order another winch . But 5 00:00:10,816 --> 00:00:13,038 when there's no more winches , you have 6 00:00:13,038 --> 00:00:14,982 to come up with a solution to that 7 00:00:14,982 --> 00:00:17,204 problem . We have created a M . C . S . 8 00:00:17,204 --> 00:00:19,093 First winch repair facility . The 9 00:00:19,093 --> 00:00:21,260 importance of the winch and what makes 10 00:00:21,260 --> 00:00:23,260 them so valuable for us is anything 11 00:00:23,260 --> 00:00:25,038 that has wheels that's not self 12 00:00:25,038 --> 00:00:27,240 propelled uh Nasa satellite and Apache 13 00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:30,120 helicopter , a chinook age equipment , 14 00:00:30,130 --> 00:00:32,430 all that stuff needs to be winched on 15 00:00:32,430 --> 00:00:34,652 the aircraft . So without the winches , 16 00:00:34,652 --> 00:00:36,430 you're , You know , essentially 17 00:00:36,430 --> 00:00:38,374 crippling the mission the C5 has . 18 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,240 So during the implementation of the 19 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:44,462 departure , which there was a couple of 20 00:00:44,462 --> 00:00:46,629 issues with the cable , the cable with 21 00:00:46,629 --> 00:00:48,796 knife and the Air Force's solution was 22 00:00:48,796 --> 00:00:51,018 to turn it into supply and order anyone 23 00:00:51,018 --> 00:00:53,184 knifing has caused on these uh winches 24 00:00:53,190 --> 00:00:55,910 from the top layer of cable being drug 25 00:00:55,910 --> 00:00:59,330 down below the layer below it . And 26 00:00:59,330 --> 00:01:00,941 then it will create a not so 27 00:01:00,941 --> 00:01:03,052 essentially like tying your shoes put 28 00:01:03,052 --> 00:01:05,108 on a winch . When that happens , the 29 00:01:05,108 --> 00:01:07,163 winch is now useless , it'll only go 30 00:01:07,163 --> 00:01:09,386 one direction and that is in um there's 31 00:01:09,386 --> 00:01:11,608 no way to fix that except for to remove 32 00:01:11,608 --> 00:01:13,497 the rope and to restore the winch 33 00:01:13,497 --> 00:01:15,470 happened so often that we ended up 34 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,710 depleting the entire stock . Uh There 35 00:01:17,710 --> 00:01:19,932 are no more , they don't make no more , 36 00:01:19,932 --> 00:01:22,030 there's no support for these . So we 37 00:01:22,030 --> 00:01:24,141 had to come up with their own ideas . 38 00:01:24,141 --> 00:01:26,680 The first thing we thought of was why 39 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,910 can't we do this when when there's 40 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,087 originally started breaking , we would 41 00:01:31,087 --> 00:01:33,680 turn them into supply is bad . They get 42 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,736 shipped somewhere to get a brand new 43 00:01:35,736 --> 00:01:37,791 winch . I'm an off Roader myself . I 44 00:01:37,791 --> 00:01:39,680 have a winch on my vehicle . If I 45 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,902 damage my winch or my winch cable , I'm 46 00:01:41,902 --> 00:01:43,958 not replacing the entire winch , I'm 47 00:01:43,958 --> 00:01:46,210 replacing a cable . So we went up to to 48 00:01:46,210 --> 00:01:48,130 engineering and we went up to AMC 49 00:01:48,130 --> 00:01:50,410 Leadership . Hey , let us just replace 50 00:01:50,410 --> 00:01:53,490 the cables . Save , save some money . 51 00:01:53,590 --> 00:01:56,080 There are over 120 winches that were 52 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,191 made for the C . Five there either in 53 00:01:58,191 --> 00:02:00,191 service currently or in a warehouse 54 00:02:00,191 --> 00:02:01,969 broken . We acquired the proper 55 00:02:01,969 --> 00:02:04,080 documentation , we require the proper 56 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:05,840 waivers and we created our own 57 00:02:05,850 --> 00:02:07,906 procedure on how to respond to these 58 00:02:07,906 --> 00:02:10,810 winches correctly . Every C . Five 59 00:02:10,810 --> 00:02:13,032 which could potentially go through this 60 00:02:13,032 --> 00:02:15,143 shop depending on how long they're in 61 00:02:15,143 --> 00:02:18,130 service . We are the only place in AMC 62 00:02:18,130 --> 00:02:20,352 that's doing this right now . We're the 63 00:02:20,352 --> 00:02:22,463 only people that have made our own uh 64 00:02:22,463 --> 00:02:25,840 equipment to do so . So if they stay in 65 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,340 service long enough and they just knife , 66 00:02:28,350 --> 00:02:30,572 keep knifing or break down , they might 67 00:02:30,572 --> 00:02:32,628 come all come through currently with 68 00:02:32,628 --> 00:02:34,850 what we've repaired and what we have on 69 00:02:34,850 --> 00:02:36,850 hand repaired . We've saved the air 70 00:02:36,850 --> 00:02:36,770 force over $10 million 71 00:02:36,770 --> 00:02:41,520 $30 72 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,450 million . Mhm
