Airport Meow

Chapter 479
There are two more people in the tower control room,

Hirata is a veteran captain of Quanshima Air. Although he has retired long ago, it is impossible for him to leave the flight in his life. Some time ago, he seldom came to the company because of the house issue. Now that the house problem is solved, the company is basically As a family, they come here every few days. The senior management of Quandaokong has a tacit attitude towards this, and they don’t get paid anyway. Come if you want, at least it will be helpful to some young people.

Daimitsu Ito is now the favorite of the whole island, one of the main pilots of the two space flights, carrying the hope of the entire company.

The two of them were chatting at Heyuan before, but when they heard that something happened to Orient Express-01, they naturally followed.

"Theoretically, the load tractor can indeed bear the pressure on the front of the plane..." Ito said softly.

Hirata frowned, "But that's at a low speed! How does the speed of no more than 20 km/h compare to the speed of a hundred knots? The wheel bearings will be worn down..."

The load-carrying tractor is completely different from the ordinary tractors that are everywhere in the airport; the function of the ordinary tractor is to move the plane without starting the engine, so it does not consider the problem of pressure, only considers the low speed The problem of traction, the wheels are quite thick and wide, with strong grip ability, and can easily pull hundreds of tons of aircraft to move around the airport.

The load-carrying tractor is different. It is used to prop up the front landing gear and tow the moving heavy vehicle. It has the capacity to bear weight, but such a situation is rare, so the general airport will only be equipped with one, and it is still vacant for a long time. state.

As Hirata said, speed is key!It is impossible for the tractor to consider the option of how fast to drive. 20 km/h is the limit, and it is impossible for the tractor to pull the plane and fly all over the airport.

Excessive speed requirements will theoretically cause the tractor wheel bearings to be deformed, damaged, smoked, and caught fire due to overheating... This gap is very large, just like the speed of an ordinary car running out of a racing car, the wheel is the key.

"But it's worth a try! If it succeeds, the plane will be saved and the wounded will not be in danger! I don't like ditching at sea, it's all a matter of luck." It's a little presumptuous.

Hirata reminded him, "You are talking about success, if not, no one on the plane will survive!"

Ito disagreed, "Senior, I think the biggest difference between us is that we think about how to succeed, but you always think about how to fail? There is no way to talk about it! If everything starts from the worst case, there is also a possibility of forced landing on the sea. Is it possible for the entire army to be wiped out?"

...The quarrel between Kawara and Bei Haiyang didn't last long. In flight, not to mention the chief pilot, even the prime minister can't influence the decision of a flight captain. This is the core principle of aviation regulations.

Of course, if you don't consider your future career prospects.Bei Haiyang has rich experience in this area, and he is not worried at all that he may be put on small shoes when he is in the empty days of the whole island. This is the benefit of selling goods to three companies.

Ito walked up to Kawahara, "I'll drive the tractor!"

Kawara began to shake his head again, "Are you crazy? If you make a wrong operation, you will be crushed into meat paste!"

Ito didn't care, "Mr. Haiyang has never made a mistake, and he won't do it this time!"

He is very sure, but he won't say the reason, because they had a bet when they flew together on the Daohai flight. The ability to accurately press the yellow line with a width of 15 cm is still incredible to Ito.

Kawara was still insisting, "He only asked for a stationary tractor to park on the runway, nothing else!"

Ito smiled, "He just doesn't want to cause trouble for others! There are three aspects that this tractor must be driven by someone!

First of all, the speed of the aircraft compacting the tractor from a standstill to an instant of [-] knots is the most dangerous moment, and the bearings are likely to have problems!But if the tractor itself is moving and the bearings are rotating, even if the speed is very low, it is much better than starting at a standstill! "

Kawara was still hesitating, but Hirata next to him was beating the side drum, "He's right, it's very important to get the printing car moving!"

With help, Ito became more courageous, "Secondly, someone must hold the steering wheel! Otherwise, there may be a deviation! Overrun the runway!"

Hirata continued to knock on the gong, "It is feasible and necessary to turn the steering wheel slightly!"

Ito smiled, "Finally, Mr. Haiyang and I have cooperated for nearly two years. We have experienced countless take-offs and landings together. He understands me, and I understand him! It is easier to form a tacit understanding."

Hirata went on and on, "Cooperation is the key, mutual trust is the cornerstone of success!"

Kawara stared fiercely at the chattering old man, "What is Hirata making trouble here? I know what you mean, you want to get involved too, right? Let me tell you, your pilot license has been suspended due to age. Revoked! You are at best a consultant now, and you are still not on the register!"

Hirata is old and strong, "I lost my pilot license, but I still have my car license! No one can stop me from driving, right?"

Ito was very dissatisfied, "Senior Hirata, I should drive the tractor, and it takes physical strength to turn the steering wheel!"

Hirata laughed, "But you need someone who can provide you with the status behind! You look at the front, and I look at the back!"
Boy, we were a crew back then, I was the captain, Besan was the co-pilot, and you were the trainee! "

Looking at these two people, He Yuan knew that he had to make a decision immediately, and he couldn't waste time in the quarrel. He found depressed, that he seemed to have no other choice but to agree with their ideas?

The world is crazy!
"Okay, I agree with your approach, and Bei Haiyang and I will bear the responsibility. Damn it, I hate those guys who don't respect their superiors the most!"

Narita Airport began to get busy, the longest runway was emptied, and various flights were rescheduled. Numerous emergency vehicles, fire engines, and ambulances at the airport began to take their positions. Various preparations were carried out in an orderly manner amidst the emergency.

Because he wanted to use up the last bit of fuel, both to reduce weight and to prevent fire, Orient Express-01 began to hover in the air; Bei Haiyang didn't drain the fuel because he wanted to give the ground more time to prepare.

A large orange engineering tractor was driven onto the runway and stopped a kilometer behind the landing point. In order to communicate in real time, the control tower prepared a dedicated communicator for the two of them.

Standing on the passenger seat of the tractor, Hirata shouted into the intercom in high spirits:
"Bei Haiyang, we're here to take you home!"
