Chapter 80 Internship【Please collect and recommend】

Bei Haiyang started his flight internship career again. His last internship experience was five years ago when he first joined Longteng Airlines.

He has been to Tokyo, but he didn't fly there in the cockpit. It was just a very ordinary tour, an event organized by the company.

Bei Haiyang sat on the observation chair behind the captain and co-pilot, studying everything quietly; such a position belonged to flight engineers more than a hundred years ago, but now that technology is advancing with each passing day, it is no longer necessary to add such a position The position, either an intern or an examiner, is basically the same.

Model 959 is a large wide-body airliner, which is generally used on international transoceanic routes. It can carry nearly 500 passengers, much more than the 939 passengers of 200. Compared with 939, the cockpit is much wider and has a good view. No wonder it is young Pilots are willing to fly this type of airliner, that is a completely different feeling!
He was flying with Flight 257. Captain Li Qianqian, in his 50s, has rich experience in piloting large passenger planes. He has flown more than 959 hours on Model 1; Co-pilot Zhou Ting, 2, 35 years old, It can be regarded as the part with the most seniority among the co-pilots. It took only one or two years to climb to the position of captain, and the flight time on the 6 model exceeded 1 hours. It is a very strong cooperation.

In China Eastern Airlines, this flight is often used as a flight for training newcomers, and the two empty seats at the back are rarely idle.

Next to Bei Haiyang is an intern named Shan Xiaofeng, who is a young pilot who passed the same batch of 959 model inspections as him. He is one year older than Bei Haiyang, and they are not very familiar with each other.

In an airline company, pilots have very limited understanding of each other. They fly separately and go back to their homes after get off work. There is no room for intersection; unless they are assigned to work together on the same plane, many of them even meet each other face-to-face. less than once.

During the whole process, Bei Haiyang and Shan Xiaofeng kept silent, and they would never disturb the pilot and co-pilot during their work. This is the rule; if you have any questions, ask after the flight, unless the pilot and co-pilot take the initiative to open their mouths, it depends on the relationship and mood again.

They can be regarded as mature pilots, and have also guided fledgling college graduates. They know very well what others hate. Now it is their turn to be students, and of course they will not knowingly commit crimes.

But one thing is good, Shan Xiaofeng is obviously very familiar with Captain Li Xiangqian, so Bei Haiyang can also benefit from their occasional conversations.

The preparations before takeoff are tense and orderly, and the cooperation of the two experienced pilots is pleasing to the eye; the dialogue is concise and neat, but what Bei Haiyang needs to figure out is the meaning behind each of their words. what do you mean?Why do you say that?

It wasn't until the plane flew to an altitude of [-] meters, which is about [-] feet, after turning on the autopilot and checking that all systems were working normally, that the cockpit came to a relatively relaxed time period.

Civil aircrafts are all cruising in the stratosphere, where there are few particulate matter in the air, few clouds, and high visibility.Domestic flights are between 6800-8000 meters, and international flights are at 9000-11000 meters.

Firstly, it is isolated from short-distance routes, and secondly, the proportion of climbing distance to sailing distance will not be too large. Like Beiyang Haiyang’s previous Syracuse route, it is generally below 9 kilometers, which is different from the current altitude.

Cloudless, like flying under a huge blue curtain!
Li Xiangqian is obviously in a good mood today, "The restaurant at Narita Airport launched a new crab dish some time ago, but I haven't tried it yet. It just so happens that I'm lucky enough to ride with two young and promising Longhang in the future. I'll treat you to eat." Crab cuisine, even if it is for you to catch the wind."

The co-pilot next to him, Zhou, joked, "Is it for me? I don't seem to have tried it!"

Li Xiangqian is obviously very familiar with his old job, so he doesn't have so much fear when joking around.

"You don't count, if you want to eat, you pay for it yourself! When you hear that there is a bargain, you will squeeze in. How much do they earn? How much do you earn? You are also a person who is about to become a captain, so be more open-minded, why don't you come here?"

The two were joking with each other. Shan Xiaofeng is a big-bodied northerner, "Crab dishes? Can you eat enough? I heard that island-style cuisine is famous for its exquisiteness, but the amount is a bit impatient. Why don't the captain treat us to ramen noodles?" Okay, I need two bowls."

Enough is enough for jokes. During the flight, under 3000 feet, that is, under [-] meters, it is not allowed to engage in irrelevant navigation topics, but if it is above [-] feet and is in the autopilot stage, pilots are allowed limited off topic.

The plane flew over the Bohai Sea, the Yellow Sea, the Chaoxian Strait, and entered the RB Sea. The weather conditions at sea this season are good, and the visibility is very high. The fine flocculent white clouds under the plane are endless. Compared with the land, it is not like a clear sky. beauty of.

"Checkpoints every half an hour are the cornerstone of safe cross-ocean flights..." Li Xiangqian said,

Checkpoint is a term specific to aviation flight. It is not a high-speed checkpoint on the ground, but refers to the active inspection of various systems in the cockpit by the pilot every half an hour during a long-distance flight. The systems are all functioning and functioning normally.

It is not necessary for short-distance flights, because when you climb to the predetermined route, you will be ready to land soon, but it is necessary for long-distance flights. Don’t think that you can sit back and relax with autopilot.

The flight time of this flight is about 4 hours, which is barely considered a long-distance category, so Li Xiangqian gave special instructions.

Zhou Ting did not hide his secrets, "One of the key points of Air Transat to ensure safety is to accurately grasp the weather. Here is the sea, which is completely different from flying on the continental shelf.

When flying on the continental shelf, you only need to look at the weather forecast. Basically, it is not a big problem, because it is blocked by mountains, and severe weather changes require a process, and this process may not be completed after you land.

It is different on the sea surface. The special weather conditions are formed very quickly. During the 4 hours of your flight, there may be completely different weather conditions in your flight preparations. The regional air traffic control center will notify you at any time, but you also have to Asking should be proactive, and it should become a habit. "

The two young pilots nodded and accepted the instruction. These things are included in the flight tutorial, but watching the boring tutorial is not the same as listening to the explanations of the seniors on the plane; People with flying experience can tell them which are the most important and indispensable.

This is what an internship is all about.

The two veteran pilots are very responsible, and this is also one of their tasks. Even if it is not a task that is too early in the sequence, in the airline company, undertaking some teaching tasks requires excellent piloting skills, and there are also additional subsidies.
