Chapter 107 Legend is in full bloom!Here comes the hero! (Please subscribe!)
In the cockpit of Blue Sky Flight 9811, after the cockpit preparations last night, the two pilots were leisurely waiting for the boarding to end.
Compared with the less than 737 passenger capacity of the 747, the passenger capacity of the Boeing 747 is directly doubled, and the boarding time is naturally much longer.And what they are flying now is not the old-fashioned Boeing 100-400, but the [-] model with upgraded avionics. Otherwise, the entire cockpit will basically be covered by various switches, all of which are mechanical instruments, which need to be added later. A dedicated follow-up engineer.
The upgraded Boeing 747-400 has simplified the avionics system to be similar to the 737NG behind it.However, although the avionics systems of Boeing's various series of aircraft are similar, there are still many differences when you look closely. It may not be clear for a while to get the pilots of the 737 up.
In fact, this point is different from Xu Cang's memory.Because in Xu Cang's memory, the Boeing 747 that had the accident was an old model of 100, but in fact this plane was a model of 400.However, when Xu Cang tested the master locking system of the S2, he didn't get on the plane to take a look in the cockpit. He hadn't found the difference in the sub-models of the plane yet.
The preliminary work was basically completed, and the two crews began to chat indiscriminately, and the topic of chatting turned to Xu Cang, who was adding the crew.
"I heard that Xu Cang said there was a problem with our plane. He stopped the vice president of maintenance of Blue Sky Airlines in public yesterday. He was really brave." The first co-pilot pushed the back of the seat to the lowest position, basically The whole person is in a half-lying state, extremely comfortable.
To be honest, it’s no wonder that they are not comfortable when they get almost double their wages a month and all the ground personnel pay for them.At the beginning, he and the captain were very disgusted with coming to Jianchuan. They felt that although the salary would be higher, they had to adapt to the new working environment, and the security work of a small company might not be good. Earn that extra salary.
After arriving here, many problems do exist, but Blue Sky Airlines has given too much. For the sake of money, many things can be tolerated.
I don't have many friends here, to be honest, it's a bit boring after a long time.As a result, Blue Sky Airlines made such a big fun on its own.Some time ago, the flight attendant was found to have AIDS, which attracted a group of people to investigate, and yesterday, the pilots stopped the leader in public.
Speaking of this, the captain was also overjoyed: "Unfortunately, we were not at the scene yesterday. I heard that the vice president of maintenance was about to be so angry that he beat someone. It seems that the vice president of operations of Blue Sky Airlines is also there. The pilot is really You are so bold that you don't give the two leaders any face at all."
Don't look at these two people who are now working for Blue Sky Airlines in name, but they don't feel that they are from Blue Sky Airlines at all, and they talk like outsiders.
"It's a small company, there are still many strange things." The first co-pilot smiled happily, but when he mentioned the problem of the 747 that Xu Cang mentioned, there was still a little worry on his face: "Brother , do you know what the person said about our plane? After all, he is also a pilot, so he won’t be aimless, right?”
I don't know if he was affected by the emotions of the first co-pilot, the captain also restrained his smile: "I heard that it is the S2 master locking system."
"S2 master locking system, what is this, I have never heard of it." The first co-pilot tried hard to recall, and confirmed that there should be no so-called S2 master locking system in his knowledge base. of.
The captain blushed imperceptibly. In fact, he didn't know it at first, but asked his friends in Feibiao privately to know what the S2 master locking system is.
"It seems to be about the opening and closing of the cabin door." Even if the friend of Feibiao explained it, the captain still half understood it.There's no way, even some professional maintenance personnel can't understand this thing, it's really a bit out of the way.
"Hatch door?" The first co-pilot thought it was something related to an important system, but it turned out to be the hatch door, and said with a smile: "So it's the hatch door, why, according to what he meant, the hatch door can still be in the air. Can't it be opened?"
The corner of the captain's mouth twitched: "From what he said, it seems to be true. To be honest, I have inquired about what he said, such as the S2 switch, the C-shaped latch, the L-shaped retainer, and the power-off of the locking system. Actually, it sounds very complicated. I don’t know how this kid figured it out.”
"I have no skills and I like to think about it." The first co-pilot didn't take it seriously, he really didn't think that a second co-pilot could come up with anything of value.
The captain's expression became a little brighter: "Did you hear about the 9211 incident of Blue Sky Airlines some time ago? It turned the northwest airspace upside down."
"Then I must know. Didn't the front of the fleet issue documents for learning traditional navigation? I haven't learned this for many years."
In many cases, the civil aviation industry has grown through accumulating experience and lessons. For example, the portholes of the aircraft fuselage were originally square, but the corners of the square cracked later, and they were replaced with round portholes or the corners Designed as a circular arc.
Whenever there is any special situation in the industry, the airline must analyze it, and then issue learning materials for the reference of the flight crew.If there are deficiencies in the aircraft or regulations, even the aviation bureau, aircraft designers, and manufacturers have to get involved.
The first co-pilot smacked his lips: "Brother, why are you bringing this up?"
"Because that Xu Cang was on that flight 9211."
"Oh!" The captain's nervous look just now made the first co-pilot also nervous.But when he heard that this was it, he laughed loudly: "Brother, you should know what the second officer does! Isn't it just to make up the numbers? The 9211 matter should be because the captain is so good, he just sits in the back and messes around. After a while, do you really expect him to make a big effort?"
Regarding this point, the captain really felt that there was no problem. Most of the time, the second officer just made up the numbers. It was useless, and he started to sleep as soon as he took off.
Although they all said that the second officer would help to verify whether the two people present were wrong, but the actual situation was not like this.What is in the books, what outsiders think and what is in reality are often different.Of course, as the later stage became more and more standardized, such a loose cockpit atmosphere became less and less common.
However, what the captain wanted to express was not about the second officer, and an unknown expression flashed across his face: "Do you know why he stopped the maintenance vice president?"
The first co-pilot was stunned: "Isn't it the S2 master locking system? Didn't I just say that?"
"Just now we have been saying that the failure of the S2 main control locking system was all Xu Cang's delusion, but just yesterday morning, Boeing seems to have sent a technical bulletin to Blue Sky Airlines, the content is about the S2 main control locking system systematic."
"Impossible!" The first co-pilot yelled directly: "Why didn't Boeing send a notice to us?"
The captain's eyes were also full of confusion: "I don't know, I just mentioned it casually when the maintenance came up. It seems that Boeing suggested replacing the aluminum retainer with a steel one."
The face of the first co-pilot suddenly changed: "What the hell does this mean? Since the notice was issued, it means that what Xu Cang said is correct, so why are we still arguing?"
"The problem also lies in that notice!" The captain lowered his voice: "The notice only suggested replacing the retainer, without any mandatory measures."
The first co-pilot was dumbfounded when he heard this: "Isn't this a double act? If there is no problem, why is the retainer replaced? If there is a problem, why is it not mandatory in the notice? What kind of notice is this? Not fully released?"
In the eyes of the first co-pilot, Boeing should be a company with a very rigorous spirit. It is really unprofessional that such a plausible announcement can be issued.
Speaking of which, the first co-pilot had tasted something, and for the first time there was a little worry in his tone: "Brother, there is no real problem, right?"
The muscles on the captain's face froze. Originally, they were just chatting about gossip, but the more they chatted, the more weird the atmosphere in the cockpit became.
"Stop talking nonsense! The 747 is not a new aircraft, so what could happen?" the captain said, and his eyes drifted silently to the MFD.After hesitating for a while, he still pointed to the MFD: "After flying for a while, please pay attention to the status of the hatch."
Unlike the 737's door display that uses conventional light bulbs, the Boeing 747-400's door status is an integrated display that is presented on the MFD.
The first co-pilot cursed in his heart: "Aren't you afraid?"
Thinking of this, the first co-pilot also regretted talking to Xu Cang, which made the two of them feel uncomfortable.
At this moment, on the business apron near the end of runway 23 of Jianchuan Airport, various ground personnel are "serving" around a Gulfstream business jet. The plane will soon take off and return to Shanghai for listing.
On the roof of the passenger elevator, outside the cabin door, Qin Xin leaned on the railing, looking at the flat plain of the airport, with the cool wind blowing, there was no smile on her face.
Behind her, the secretary with a hot body waited for a long time, but finally couldn't help it: "Miss, you don't need to come so early, there is still a long time before take-off!"
If they follow the correct takeoff time, they can almost delay their arrival by nearly an hour.Jianchuan Airport has an independent business jet building, which is dedicated to security inspection of passengers and crews of business jets, and there are also special vehicles in the infield to pick up and drop off at a very fast speed.
"I'm a little confused, and I want to come here to blow some air."
Three thousand black hairs were hanging down, dancing with the wind, showing a little mess, but Qin Xin, who always liked to be tidy, didn't tidy her hair up, just letting the wind blow her hair away.
There was a trace of solemnity on the secretary's face. Since last night, Qin Xin has hardly smiled.To be honest, she has been with Qin Xin for some years, but she has never seen such a situation.
However, even if you have doubts in your heart, some things still need to be clarified.She took a step forward and asked softly, "Miss, what about the cooperation with Blue Sky Airlines?"
Qin Xin didn't answer the secretary directly, but asked rhetorically, "Is San San Hang still not letting go?"
"Miss, you know that there will be no compromise from the three major airlines."
Qin Xin raised a little anger in his heart: "Yes, if it's the same price, who would choose Blue Sky Airlines?"
As a state-owned enterprise, even if there are all kinds of weird problems, there is one thing that you don’t have to worry about, that is, you will definitely get things done for you, and if you don’t do it well, you will make up for the losses yourself.
If possible, Qin Xin would of course want to choose the three major airlines as a partner.However, the prices of the three major airlines are really too high, a full [-]% higher than that of Blue Sky Airlines, and they will not let go.As long as the prices of the three major airlines are not so outrageous, if it is [-]% higher, Qin Xin can accept it, but [-]% is really too much.
The one billion contract on the Blue Sky Airlines side can definitely feed and drink the entire company, but it can be placed on the three major airlines.
State-owned enterprises are good at everything, but they like to carry them. No matter what, airs and face are indispensable.If the price was lowered for the sake of the contract, wouldn't it appear that the quality of the company has dropped?
"Miss, apart from the three major airlines, Blue Sky Airlines is pretty good among the second-tier airlines." The secretary reminded.
Qin Xin was upset when he heard that: "I know! But the news about AIDS was even published in the newspapers. Blue Sky Airlines' emergency response capabilities are really terrible, and the public relations are also poor. With such a partner Colleagues may trip us up one day.”
Speaking of this, Xu Cang's face suddenly came to Qin Xin's mind. She pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you think it is very possible if we set up an airline company by ourselves?"
The secretary was stunned: "Why does Miss have such an idea? Not to mention whether it is cost-effective, the Civil Aviation Administration of China is extremely strict in reviewing the number of private capital participating in the establishment of an airline company, and we may not be able to apply for the qualification to form an airline."
"Then what if the local government is asked to come forward?" Qin Xin said suddenly.
The secretary thought about countless proposals that Qin Xin might propose, but she never thought of this anyway. She was stunned for a long time, but still couldn't figure out what Qin Xin meant: "Miss, you mean to let the local government communicate with the Civil Aviation Administration? This... this How to do it?"
The secretary couldn't understand why the local government would coordinate with the Civil Aviation Administration instead of them.
Qin Xin turned her head, looked at the secretary who was still in a daze, and shook her head imperceptibly: "Forget it, I'm just talking casually."
Sure enough, people are different.
Xu Cang proposed the method of getting the local government to communicate with the Civil Aviation Administration.Some time ago, when Xu Cang chatted with Qin Xin, because of his emotional excitement, he said a lot of thoughts hidden in his heart, including how to obtain the qualification to form an airline company in the future.
In Xu Cang’s plan, according to the relatively conservative domestic policy changes, it will take some time for private capital to enter the civil aviation industry in the future. The vast blue ocean market.
Due to policy restrictions, a large amount of private capital has been unable to enter the civil aviation market, virtually blocking a large number of competitors for them.However, a small amount of private capital that has entered civil aviation, such as Blue Sky Airlines, has not jumped out of the traditional profit-making model of civil aviation, and is thinking about how to fight against the three major airlines.
The three major airlines have policy support and the benefits of scale effects. If you follow their path, you will only be able to smell their exhaust for a lifetime.Only by opening up markets in other places can there be some vitality, such as the low-cost airline concept proposed by Xu Cang and Qin Xin, which is to tap a huge sinking market.
Of course, in Xu Cang's blueprint, low-cost airlines are only one part, and it also includes air freight, especially express delivery.After 2000, the domestic economy will experience explosive growth.At that time, people would not blindly pursue low prices for the transportation of goods, but began to favor the demand for speed.There is no doubt that air transportation is the fastest way of transportation.
Xu Cang remembered that at about this time, there was already an express company in the south of China, but it had only been operating regionally, but in the future it would develop into a giant in the domestic logistics industry.When Xu Cang was reborn, that logistics company even had a fleet of [-] planes. The company's operating philosophy was fast and efficient, and air transportation played a crucial role.
According to Xu Cang's calculations, that express logistics company has not even started to lay out a nationwide logistics network, and it is still a bud.According to Xu Cang's prediction, they can swallow that express company before it rises and use it for themselves, and the price required is not high. If it really grows up, it will not be beautiful.
Moreover, Xu Cang knew that many years later, because of certain events, the passenger transportation market around the world would be extremely sluggish, but the freight transportation market would usher in a prosperous period. If the layout is made in advance, it is precisely to seize this historical opportunity.
In this way, the fleet can realize the ultimate utilization rate of cargo, passenger transportation and outsourcing of tour groups.In Xu Cang's plan, at least for the next 30 years, he will be able to come to the forefront.
Xu Cang said that the future he depicted was so real, Qin Xin was so agitated and couldn't hold himself back.As for how to enter the civil aviation market, Xu Cang gave two methods.
The first one is that the dove occupies the magpie's nest and grabs the place of Blue Sky Airlines.The Civil Aviation Administration is extremely conservative on the entry of private capital, but does not prohibit existing airlines from making equity changes.That is to say, through the acquisition of Blue Sky Airlines, it is possible to enter the civil aviation market in a disguised form, and Xu Cang even predicted that Blue Sky Airlines would encounter a crisis in the future, so it is possible to take advantage of it.
However, this method is too expensive.A lot of capital is staring at the civil aviation market. If Blue Sky Airlines has the idea of bringing in other capital for emergency, it must be surrounded by wolves, not to mention whether it can win the top spot. Even if it succeeds under the congestion, the cost will be huge. Yes, the loss outweighs the gain.
The other is what Xu Cang said about getting the local government to step in.For official affairs, let the official people coordinate, and there will often be unexpected results.
Xu Cang even had a systematic procedure for where the local government should come forward, and how to make the local government willing to come forward. At that time, Qin Xin was taken aback.
"It's a pity!" The more Qin Xin thought about it, the more painful she felt.
Xu Cang has already broken his face with Blue Sky Airlines, and he must not be able to stay any longer.No matter how good the blueprint is, what's the use of the architect, what's the point?
Time, fate!
In the cockpit of flight 9811, the plane had already taken off for more than 20 minutes, and the altitude was rising from 100 meters to 500 meters.At the beginning of take-off, the captain and the first co-pilot still had some psychological shadows due to the chat ahead, and glanced at the MFD display from time to time, but when it was almost time to cruise, they finally calmed down and cursed themselves scare myself.
During the climb, the first co-pilot untied his shoulder straps early on, put the back of the seat back, and lay down comfortably: "Brother, should I ask home if there are any doors on this plane?" What's the matter?"
The home the first co-pilot mentioned was not Blue Sky Airlines, but Muhua Airlines.When things happen, they are still more willing to trust Muhua Airlines.
In the final analysis, some things have been exposed, and if you don't figure it out, you will be stuck in your throat, so it's better to figure it out.
The captain hummed: "I think it's the same reason. If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't talk about it. Now it's like a cat's paw scratching my heart. I don't feel comfortable anywhere."
Intellectually speaking, they do not believe that there will be any problems with the classic Boeing 747.It's just that the plausible announcement issued by Boeing is really arousing people's imagination, so it's better to find out more.
After a short period of silence, the first co-pilot suddenly smacked his lips, took a deep breath, and looked at the captain with some doubts: "Brother, do you feel chest tightness?"
"No?" The captain smiled and said, "Did you smoke too much, kid, and your lung function is failing. How about lowering the rate of ascent and going up slower, it should be more comfortable."
"Should be!" The first co-pilot agreed deeply. He is an old smoker. Smoking too much will indeed affect lung function. Even if the plane has a pressurization system, the air pressure altitude is basically maintained at about [-] feet. , People with weak lung function will still feel uncomfortable.
Therefore, the first co-pilot manually adjusted the rate of ascent to about [-], which is considered a relatively small rate of ascent.
"Why do you smoke so much at such a young age? Which chest X-ray can't pass? It depends on where you are going." The captain persuaded.
The first co-pilot hurriedly nodded in agreement, he didn't want to quit smoking, but if this thing was really so easy to quit, he wouldn't have to fight and lose repeatedly.
While chatting with the captain, the first officer casually glanced at the cockpit altitude gauge of the pressurization system after the plane's ascent rate had slowed down, which indicated the rate of ascent or descent of the cockpit altitude.
Generally speaking, the pressurization system will control the altitude change of the cockpit to a relatively gentle level, such as an extra [-] feet per minute. Under normal circumstances, it will not be higher than [-] feet per minute. If it exceeds, it will be relatively large. The probability is that there is a problem with the booster system.
Just as the ascent rate of the plane is maintained at around [-], the ascent rate of the cockpit should be within [-].But when the first co-pilot saw the cockpit altitude rate indicator, it showed that the aircraft's cockpit altitude rate was close to [-].
"Huh?" The first co-pilot knocked on the cockpit altitude control table: "Brother, this thing is so fast, is it normal?"
"What is it?" The captain looked at the cockpit altitude indicator in the direction pointed by the first co-pilot, and he let out a light sigh: "Yeah, why are you going up so fast? It's almost approaching the rate of ascent of the plane. The change in cabin altitude should be minimal."
The pressurization system of Boeing aircraft has its own working logic. Its pressurization method has a certain correlation with the ascent rate of the aircraft itself, but it is not linearly related.Moreover, the plane is already at an altitude of [-] feet at this moment, and there is not much room for the cabin to rise. It is normal for the pressurization system to be adjusted to a relatively small rate of rise.
However, some talked about the roughness of the Boeing aircraft itself.Sometimes there is a discrepancy between what is written in the manual and the actual situation. It is common for some systems to fail occasionally.
Therefore, the captain was not too flustered. He just unfastened his seat belt and wanted to get up to check the pressure of the pipes on both sides. As long as the components work normally, there is basically no problem. It was the plane that was "naughty".
The first co-pilot was also very calm. He glanced at the cockpit altimeter. According to the comparison table between the flight altitude and the cockpit altitude, according to the current altitude, the cockpit altitude should be maintained at about [-] feet.However, after the cockpit altitude reached [-] feet, the rate of ascent only decreased slightly, but did not return to zero.
"Huh? What does this mean?" According to the working logic of the pressurization system, the rate of ascent of the cabin altitude should be zeroed or reduced to a very small level at this time. Why is it still maintained at more than [-] feet per minute? In terms of rate of rise, this does not conform to the logic of the supercharging plan of the supercharging system.
At this moment, the captain had already unbuckled his seat belt, grabbed an iron pull ring on the visor panel with his left hand, and used this to pull himself up, and his right hand was ready to touch the panel.
However, when the captain's hand just touched the panel knob, the first co-pilot clearly saw that the pointer of the cockpit altitude indicator was only maintained in the range of [-] to [-], but for some reason, almost instantly, The needle passed straight back, over a thousand feet per minute, then two thousand feet, and finally in the unmarked area, reaching the maximum rate of ascent.
The heart of the first co-pilot seemed to stop beating at this moment, and he was too familiar with this change in lift rate, because he would see it in every decompression training of the simulator.
Just when the head of the first co-pilot was blank, a muffled subwoofer sounded into the cockpit, as if a heavy hammer hit the hearts of the two of them.
"Not good!" The co-pilot's loss of consciousness only lasted for a moment. After hearing the muffled sound, he immediately knew what happened at this moment.
Almost as soon as the co-pilot realized something was wrong, the constant beeping of the cabin altitude warning sounded.As soon as the captain touched the knob, the cockpit altitude warning sounded, and his body shrank back like a conditioned reflex, still shouting: "Relieve the pressure, wear an oxygen mask."
This action is basically the pilot's instinct. After releasing the pressure, put on the oxygen mask first regardless of other things.
But knowing it is one thing, being able to do it is another.In the training of the simulator, it is impossible to simulate the body's reaction to the explosive decompression of the cockpit. Naturally, I put it on when I want to, but when I really encountered it, the situation was different.
The captain was originally in a half-up position, but just now he sat back and was still touching the oxygen mask with his left hand, but he felt a sharp pain in his mouth, which made the captain almost lose his breath.
Everyone said that toothache is not a disease, but it can kill people. Now the captain understands the profoundness of this statement.In the case of decompression, the brain's response slowed down due to the severe hypoxia, and the sudden pain directly caused the captain to lose his ability to think.
He instinctively covered his mouth, only to feel wetness between his right fingers, saliva mixed with blood flowing down, and he couldn't stop it.
The captain had a porcelain tooth in his mouth, and he was usually fine, but under the action of the explosive decompression at high altitude, due to the change in air pressure, the flesh and blood of that tooth burst open and began to bleed profusely.
The severe pain planned to occupy all the captain's rationality, but he still endured the pain and kept fumbling for the oxygen mask with his left hand.I don't know if it was because of the change in air pressure. The touch of the fingers of the captain's left hand began to become numb, and he could no longer feel the protruding part of the oxygen mask.
Unlike the captain's situation, the first co-pilot seemed to be strangled by someone at the moment the plane was depressurized, unable to breathe at all.
When the pressurization was temporarily normal, the cockpit went up a little faster, and he felt a little uncomfortable. Now that the cockpit altitude of the plane rose directly to more than [-] feet per minute, how could he bear it?
However, the co-pilot was also calm in the face of danger. He touched the oxygen mask and put it on quickly when he was almost asphyxiated.The terrifying feeling of drowning just now made the co-pilot's heart almost jump out, but the oxygen mask gave him a little sense of peace of mind.
The first co-pilot instinctively took a few deep breaths. He suddenly discovered that the captain was not wearing an oxygen mask, but was slumped on the seat, with one hand resting on his chin. Half of his body was covered in blood. The captain's eyes were half-closed, and he seemed to have lost consciousness.
The first co-pilot's heart was beating wildly. He didn't understand why the captain became like this. He was shocked and frightened. His first thought was to help the captain put on the oxygen mask first, otherwise he would have to go out. fatal.
But as soon as he unfastened his seat belt and stood up for a while, he felt dizzy, he couldn't stand firmly for a while, and sat back on his buttocks.
At this moment, the heart of the first co-pilot was beating wildly like an engine running at full power.He took a deep breath and tried to get up again.However, with this movement, the vision in front of him began to blur, his head was heavy, and he seemed to be about to fall asleep.
"What's going on, how did this happen?" At this time, even the first co-pilot was unresponsive and understood that the development of the matter seemed to be different from his expectation.
The situation he encountered just now was very similar to the symptoms of hypoxia, but he had already put on an oxygen mask, so how could he still be hypoxic?
Could it be that there is something wrong with the oxygen system in the cockpit! ?
In the history of civil aviation, there have been problems with the oxygen system in the cockpit. There have been oxygen leaks in the cockpit, and the embarrassing problem that there was no oxygen available when the accident happened.
But that time the plane released the pressure slowly, the pilot's physiological reaction was not strong, and there was still some reaction time to control the plane to make an emergency descent.But his explosive decompression caused a sharp change in the surrounding air pressure, which could easily cause the body fluid to boil, and the pilot would feel great physiological discomfort because of this, making it much more difficult to deal with related special situations.
At this time, the head of the first co-pilot was already confused. Without oxygen in the high-altitude environment, people would soon lose consciousness.Now the captain can't count on him. If he is unconscious, the people on the plane will be in danger.
In fact, the oxygen mask is still supplying oxygen, as long as you feel it carefully, you can feel the slight airflow blowing out.It's just that the panicked thinking inertia of the co-pilot has already determined that there is no oxygen in the oxygen mask.
However, there was no difference in all of this. The more frightened the first co-pilot was, the more dizzy he felt. Repeatedly, the fear quickly swallowed the first co-pilot like a nightmare.
He has lost the ability to assess his own state!
At this moment, he had already given up trying to save the captain, and if he did, everyone on the plane would have to be buried with him.Even, the first co-pilot gave up manually closing all the outflow valves, because in the abnormal procedure, it is necessary for all the outflow valves to be in the closed position.
He knew exactly what the muffled sound just now represented. It was almost certain that somewhere in the body was damaged. Only large-scale damage to the body would cause such an explosive release of pressure.
Passenger oxygen, seat belt signal lights, emergency codes, he didn't even do it!He just wanted to let the plane descend, and then go up again, the plane just looked at the abyss and rampaged.
At this moment, the plane is still in the state of autopilot, which is a blessing in misfortune.With the current state of the first co-pilot, it would be impossible for him to fly manually if the autopilot was disconnected.
According to the normal situation, if you have not received the controller's emergency descent permission, you need to turn right [-] degrees and deviate from the route.The first officer intended to declare an emergency while beginning the descent.He knew that his current behavior might cause great trouble to the controller, but he couldn't care less, his life was the most important thing.
However, the first co-pilot had just raised his left hand, and before he pressed the radio button with his right hand, the MCP board had already started to appear double in his field of vision, and he couldn't even find the altitude knob.
In the case of an emergency descent, if you want to drive automatically, you should choose a lower altitude, and then press the FLCH button. You can adjust the speed as much as possible according to the situation, especially if the fuselage is damaged. in the case of.
FLCH is Flight Level CHange, and its function in autopilot is similar to that of Boeing 737's level change Level CHange.
The first co-pilot was in a cold sweat, the MCP board fell into his eyes and he was already confused, how could he make an emergency descent.If he was flying manually with the autopilot disconnected, he could ignore the change in the altitude window.But the problem is that his current state is completely in a situation where one plus one is equal to a few seconds. How can he control the plane?
In fact, it was the first co-pilot who was out of his mind.Although emergency descents require the use of an automatic method of altitude change in principle, it is not a rigid rule.
The same is to descend, and you have to worry about the way of descending at a critical moment?
If you change the descent method, use the vertical speed method, because the predetermined height has not yet been reached. If you directly introduce a descent rate, the automatic driving can ignore the higher height and continue to descend.
However, this alternative method requires a turn even when the head is clear, let alone when the mind is unconscious.
The first co-pilot could feel that his consciousness was passing away quickly, he knew that the moment of life and death had come, and his next actions would determine the life and death of the whole plane.
He gave up and continued to fumble on the MCP board, which would only waste his remaining energy.The first officer slowly removed his left hand from the MCP panel and instead fumbled for the cockpit door switch on the center console.
With a crisp sound, the cockpit door locking system is disengaged.Since the aircraft was still in a climbing state at this moment, the aircraft pitched and raised its head naturally, which caused the cockpit door to open spontaneously as soon as it was unlocked.
The moment the cabin door opened, the first co-pilot yelled at the back with all his strength: "Call someone, call someone!"
There are so many, can you vote?
(End of this chapter)
In the cockpit of Blue Sky Flight 9811, after the cockpit preparations last night, the two pilots were leisurely waiting for the boarding to end.
Compared with the less than 737 passenger capacity of the 747, the passenger capacity of the Boeing 747 is directly doubled, and the boarding time is naturally much longer.And what they are flying now is not the old-fashioned Boeing 100-400, but the [-] model with upgraded avionics. Otherwise, the entire cockpit will basically be covered by various switches, all of which are mechanical instruments, which need to be added later. A dedicated follow-up engineer.
The upgraded Boeing 747-400 has simplified the avionics system to be similar to the 737NG behind it.However, although the avionics systems of Boeing's various series of aircraft are similar, there are still many differences when you look closely. It may not be clear for a while to get the pilots of the 737 up.
In fact, this point is different from Xu Cang's memory.Because in Xu Cang's memory, the Boeing 747 that had the accident was an old model of 100, but in fact this plane was a model of 400.However, when Xu Cang tested the master locking system of the S2, he didn't get on the plane to take a look in the cockpit. He hadn't found the difference in the sub-models of the plane yet.
The preliminary work was basically completed, and the two crews began to chat indiscriminately, and the topic of chatting turned to Xu Cang, who was adding the crew.
"I heard that Xu Cang said there was a problem with our plane. He stopped the vice president of maintenance of Blue Sky Airlines in public yesterday. He was really brave." The first co-pilot pushed the back of the seat to the lowest position, basically The whole person is in a half-lying state, extremely comfortable.
To be honest, it’s no wonder that they are not comfortable when they get almost double their wages a month and all the ground personnel pay for them.At the beginning, he and the captain were very disgusted with coming to Jianchuan. They felt that although the salary would be higher, they had to adapt to the new working environment, and the security work of a small company might not be good. Earn that extra salary.
After arriving here, many problems do exist, but Blue Sky Airlines has given too much. For the sake of money, many things can be tolerated.
I don't have many friends here, to be honest, it's a bit boring after a long time.As a result, Blue Sky Airlines made such a big fun on its own.Some time ago, the flight attendant was found to have AIDS, which attracted a group of people to investigate, and yesterday, the pilots stopped the leader in public.
Speaking of this, the captain was also overjoyed: "Unfortunately, we were not at the scene yesterday. I heard that the vice president of maintenance was about to be so angry that he beat someone. It seems that the vice president of operations of Blue Sky Airlines is also there. The pilot is really You are so bold that you don't give the two leaders any face at all."
Don't look at these two people who are now working for Blue Sky Airlines in name, but they don't feel that they are from Blue Sky Airlines at all, and they talk like outsiders.
"It's a small company, there are still many strange things." The first co-pilot smiled happily, but when he mentioned the problem of the 747 that Xu Cang mentioned, there was still a little worry on his face: "Brother , do you know what the person said about our plane? After all, he is also a pilot, so he won’t be aimless, right?”
I don't know if he was affected by the emotions of the first co-pilot, the captain also restrained his smile: "I heard that it is the S2 master locking system."
"S2 master locking system, what is this, I have never heard of it." The first co-pilot tried hard to recall, and confirmed that there should be no so-called S2 master locking system in his knowledge base. of.
The captain blushed imperceptibly. In fact, he didn't know it at first, but asked his friends in Feibiao privately to know what the S2 master locking system is.
"It seems to be about the opening and closing of the cabin door." Even if the friend of Feibiao explained it, the captain still half understood it.There's no way, even some professional maintenance personnel can't understand this thing, it's really a bit out of the way.
"Hatch door?" The first co-pilot thought it was something related to an important system, but it turned out to be the hatch door, and said with a smile: "So it's the hatch door, why, according to what he meant, the hatch door can still be in the air. Can't it be opened?"
The corner of the captain's mouth twitched: "From what he said, it seems to be true. To be honest, I have inquired about what he said, such as the S2 switch, the C-shaped latch, the L-shaped retainer, and the power-off of the locking system. Actually, it sounds very complicated. I don’t know how this kid figured it out.”
"I have no skills and I like to think about it." The first co-pilot didn't take it seriously, he really didn't think that a second co-pilot could come up with anything of value.
The captain's expression became a little brighter: "Did you hear about the 9211 incident of Blue Sky Airlines some time ago? It turned the northwest airspace upside down."
"Then I must know. Didn't the front of the fleet issue documents for learning traditional navigation? I haven't learned this for many years."
In many cases, the civil aviation industry has grown through accumulating experience and lessons. For example, the portholes of the aircraft fuselage were originally square, but the corners of the square cracked later, and they were replaced with round portholes or the corners Designed as a circular arc.
Whenever there is any special situation in the industry, the airline must analyze it, and then issue learning materials for the reference of the flight crew.If there are deficiencies in the aircraft or regulations, even the aviation bureau, aircraft designers, and manufacturers have to get involved.
The first co-pilot smacked his lips: "Brother, why are you bringing this up?"
"Because that Xu Cang was on that flight 9211."
"Oh!" The captain's nervous look just now made the first co-pilot also nervous.But when he heard that this was it, he laughed loudly: "Brother, you should know what the second officer does! Isn't it just to make up the numbers? The 9211 matter should be because the captain is so good, he just sits in the back and messes around. After a while, do you really expect him to make a big effort?"
Regarding this point, the captain really felt that there was no problem. Most of the time, the second officer just made up the numbers. It was useless, and he started to sleep as soon as he took off.
Although they all said that the second officer would help to verify whether the two people present were wrong, but the actual situation was not like this.What is in the books, what outsiders think and what is in reality are often different.Of course, as the later stage became more and more standardized, such a loose cockpit atmosphere became less and less common.
However, what the captain wanted to express was not about the second officer, and an unknown expression flashed across his face: "Do you know why he stopped the maintenance vice president?"
The first co-pilot was stunned: "Isn't it the S2 master locking system? Didn't I just say that?"
"Just now we have been saying that the failure of the S2 main control locking system was all Xu Cang's delusion, but just yesterday morning, Boeing seems to have sent a technical bulletin to Blue Sky Airlines, the content is about the S2 main control locking system systematic."
"Impossible!" The first co-pilot yelled directly: "Why didn't Boeing send a notice to us?"
The captain's eyes were also full of confusion: "I don't know, I just mentioned it casually when the maintenance came up. It seems that Boeing suggested replacing the aluminum retainer with a steel one."
The face of the first co-pilot suddenly changed: "What the hell does this mean? Since the notice was issued, it means that what Xu Cang said is correct, so why are we still arguing?"
"The problem also lies in that notice!" The captain lowered his voice: "The notice only suggested replacing the retainer, without any mandatory measures."
The first co-pilot was dumbfounded when he heard this: "Isn't this a double act? If there is no problem, why is the retainer replaced? If there is a problem, why is it not mandatory in the notice? What kind of notice is this? Not fully released?"
In the eyes of the first co-pilot, Boeing should be a company with a very rigorous spirit. It is really unprofessional that such a plausible announcement can be issued.
Speaking of which, the first co-pilot had tasted something, and for the first time there was a little worry in his tone: "Brother, there is no real problem, right?"
The muscles on the captain's face froze. Originally, they were just chatting about gossip, but the more they chatted, the more weird the atmosphere in the cockpit became.
"Stop talking nonsense! The 747 is not a new aircraft, so what could happen?" the captain said, and his eyes drifted silently to the MFD.After hesitating for a while, he still pointed to the MFD: "After flying for a while, please pay attention to the status of the hatch."
Unlike the 737's door display that uses conventional light bulbs, the Boeing 747-400's door status is an integrated display that is presented on the MFD.
The first co-pilot cursed in his heart: "Aren't you afraid?"
Thinking of this, the first co-pilot also regretted talking to Xu Cang, which made the two of them feel uncomfortable.
At this moment, on the business apron near the end of runway 23 of Jianchuan Airport, various ground personnel are "serving" around a Gulfstream business jet. The plane will soon take off and return to Shanghai for listing.
On the roof of the passenger elevator, outside the cabin door, Qin Xin leaned on the railing, looking at the flat plain of the airport, with the cool wind blowing, there was no smile on her face.
Behind her, the secretary with a hot body waited for a long time, but finally couldn't help it: "Miss, you don't need to come so early, there is still a long time before take-off!"
If they follow the correct takeoff time, they can almost delay their arrival by nearly an hour.Jianchuan Airport has an independent business jet building, which is dedicated to security inspection of passengers and crews of business jets, and there are also special vehicles in the infield to pick up and drop off at a very fast speed.
"I'm a little confused, and I want to come here to blow some air."
Three thousand black hairs were hanging down, dancing with the wind, showing a little mess, but Qin Xin, who always liked to be tidy, didn't tidy her hair up, just letting the wind blow her hair away.
There was a trace of solemnity on the secretary's face. Since last night, Qin Xin has hardly smiled.To be honest, she has been with Qin Xin for some years, but she has never seen such a situation.
However, even if you have doubts in your heart, some things still need to be clarified.She took a step forward and asked softly, "Miss, what about the cooperation with Blue Sky Airlines?"
Qin Xin didn't answer the secretary directly, but asked rhetorically, "Is San San Hang still not letting go?"
"Miss, you know that there will be no compromise from the three major airlines."
Qin Xin raised a little anger in his heart: "Yes, if it's the same price, who would choose Blue Sky Airlines?"
As a state-owned enterprise, even if there are all kinds of weird problems, there is one thing that you don’t have to worry about, that is, you will definitely get things done for you, and if you don’t do it well, you will make up for the losses yourself.
If possible, Qin Xin would of course want to choose the three major airlines as a partner.However, the prices of the three major airlines are really too high, a full [-]% higher than that of Blue Sky Airlines, and they will not let go.As long as the prices of the three major airlines are not so outrageous, if it is [-]% higher, Qin Xin can accept it, but [-]% is really too much.
The one billion contract on the Blue Sky Airlines side can definitely feed and drink the entire company, but it can be placed on the three major airlines.
State-owned enterprises are good at everything, but they like to carry them. No matter what, airs and face are indispensable.If the price was lowered for the sake of the contract, wouldn't it appear that the quality of the company has dropped?
"Miss, apart from the three major airlines, Blue Sky Airlines is pretty good among the second-tier airlines." The secretary reminded.
Qin Xin was upset when he heard that: "I know! But the news about AIDS was even published in the newspapers. Blue Sky Airlines' emergency response capabilities are really terrible, and the public relations are also poor. With such a partner Colleagues may trip us up one day.”
Speaking of this, Xu Cang's face suddenly came to Qin Xin's mind. She pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you think it is very possible if we set up an airline company by ourselves?"
The secretary was stunned: "Why does Miss have such an idea? Not to mention whether it is cost-effective, the Civil Aviation Administration of China is extremely strict in reviewing the number of private capital participating in the establishment of an airline company, and we may not be able to apply for the qualification to form an airline."
"Then what if the local government is asked to come forward?" Qin Xin said suddenly.
The secretary thought about countless proposals that Qin Xin might propose, but she never thought of this anyway. She was stunned for a long time, but still couldn't figure out what Qin Xin meant: "Miss, you mean to let the local government communicate with the Civil Aviation Administration? This... this How to do it?"
The secretary couldn't understand why the local government would coordinate with the Civil Aviation Administration instead of them.
Qin Xin turned her head, looked at the secretary who was still in a daze, and shook her head imperceptibly: "Forget it, I'm just talking casually."
Sure enough, people are different.
Xu Cang proposed the method of getting the local government to communicate with the Civil Aviation Administration.Some time ago, when Xu Cang chatted with Qin Xin, because of his emotional excitement, he said a lot of thoughts hidden in his heart, including how to obtain the qualification to form an airline company in the future.
In Xu Cang’s plan, according to the relatively conservative domestic policy changes, it will take some time for private capital to enter the civil aviation industry in the future. The vast blue ocean market.
Due to policy restrictions, a large amount of private capital has been unable to enter the civil aviation market, virtually blocking a large number of competitors for them.However, a small amount of private capital that has entered civil aviation, such as Blue Sky Airlines, has not jumped out of the traditional profit-making model of civil aviation, and is thinking about how to fight against the three major airlines.
The three major airlines have policy support and the benefits of scale effects. If you follow their path, you will only be able to smell their exhaust for a lifetime.Only by opening up markets in other places can there be some vitality, such as the low-cost airline concept proposed by Xu Cang and Qin Xin, which is to tap a huge sinking market.
Of course, in Xu Cang's blueprint, low-cost airlines are only one part, and it also includes air freight, especially express delivery.After 2000, the domestic economy will experience explosive growth.At that time, people would not blindly pursue low prices for the transportation of goods, but began to favor the demand for speed.There is no doubt that air transportation is the fastest way of transportation.
Xu Cang remembered that at about this time, there was already an express company in the south of China, but it had only been operating regionally, but in the future it would develop into a giant in the domestic logistics industry.When Xu Cang was reborn, that logistics company even had a fleet of [-] planes. The company's operating philosophy was fast and efficient, and air transportation played a crucial role.
According to Xu Cang's calculations, that express logistics company has not even started to lay out a nationwide logistics network, and it is still a bud.According to Xu Cang's prediction, they can swallow that express company before it rises and use it for themselves, and the price required is not high. If it really grows up, it will not be beautiful.
Moreover, Xu Cang knew that many years later, because of certain events, the passenger transportation market around the world would be extremely sluggish, but the freight transportation market would usher in a prosperous period. If the layout is made in advance, it is precisely to seize this historical opportunity.
In this way, the fleet can realize the ultimate utilization rate of cargo, passenger transportation and outsourcing of tour groups.In Xu Cang's plan, at least for the next 30 years, he will be able to come to the forefront.
Xu Cang said that the future he depicted was so real, Qin Xin was so agitated and couldn't hold himself back.As for how to enter the civil aviation market, Xu Cang gave two methods.
The first one is that the dove occupies the magpie's nest and grabs the place of Blue Sky Airlines.The Civil Aviation Administration is extremely conservative on the entry of private capital, but does not prohibit existing airlines from making equity changes.That is to say, through the acquisition of Blue Sky Airlines, it is possible to enter the civil aviation market in a disguised form, and Xu Cang even predicted that Blue Sky Airlines would encounter a crisis in the future, so it is possible to take advantage of it.
However, this method is too expensive.A lot of capital is staring at the civil aviation market. If Blue Sky Airlines has the idea of bringing in other capital for emergency, it must be surrounded by wolves, not to mention whether it can win the top spot. Even if it succeeds under the congestion, the cost will be huge. Yes, the loss outweighs the gain.
The other is what Xu Cang said about getting the local government to step in.For official affairs, let the official people coordinate, and there will often be unexpected results.
Xu Cang even had a systematic procedure for where the local government should come forward, and how to make the local government willing to come forward. At that time, Qin Xin was taken aback.
"It's a pity!" The more Qin Xin thought about it, the more painful she felt.
Xu Cang has already broken his face with Blue Sky Airlines, and he must not be able to stay any longer.No matter how good the blueprint is, what's the use of the architect, what's the point?
Time, fate!
In the cockpit of flight 9811, the plane had already taken off for more than 20 minutes, and the altitude was rising from 100 meters to 500 meters.At the beginning of take-off, the captain and the first co-pilot still had some psychological shadows due to the chat ahead, and glanced at the MFD display from time to time, but when it was almost time to cruise, they finally calmed down and cursed themselves scare myself.
During the climb, the first co-pilot untied his shoulder straps early on, put the back of the seat back, and lay down comfortably: "Brother, should I ask home if there are any doors on this plane?" What's the matter?"
The home the first co-pilot mentioned was not Blue Sky Airlines, but Muhua Airlines.When things happen, they are still more willing to trust Muhua Airlines.
In the final analysis, some things have been exposed, and if you don't figure it out, you will be stuck in your throat, so it's better to figure it out.
The captain hummed: "I think it's the same reason. If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't talk about it. Now it's like a cat's paw scratching my heart. I don't feel comfortable anywhere."
Intellectually speaking, they do not believe that there will be any problems with the classic Boeing 747.It's just that the plausible announcement issued by Boeing is really arousing people's imagination, so it's better to find out more.
After a short period of silence, the first co-pilot suddenly smacked his lips, took a deep breath, and looked at the captain with some doubts: "Brother, do you feel chest tightness?"
"No?" The captain smiled and said, "Did you smoke too much, kid, and your lung function is failing. How about lowering the rate of ascent and going up slower, it should be more comfortable."
"Should be!" The first co-pilot agreed deeply. He is an old smoker. Smoking too much will indeed affect lung function. Even if the plane has a pressurization system, the air pressure altitude is basically maintained at about [-] feet. , People with weak lung function will still feel uncomfortable.
Therefore, the first co-pilot manually adjusted the rate of ascent to about [-], which is considered a relatively small rate of ascent.
"Why do you smoke so much at such a young age? Which chest X-ray can't pass? It depends on where you are going." The captain persuaded.
The first co-pilot hurriedly nodded in agreement, he didn't want to quit smoking, but if this thing was really so easy to quit, he wouldn't have to fight and lose repeatedly.
While chatting with the captain, the first officer casually glanced at the cockpit altitude gauge of the pressurization system after the plane's ascent rate had slowed down, which indicated the rate of ascent or descent of the cockpit altitude.
Generally speaking, the pressurization system will control the altitude change of the cockpit to a relatively gentle level, such as an extra [-] feet per minute. Under normal circumstances, it will not be higher than [-] feet per minute. If it exceeds, it will be relatively large. The probability is that there is a problem with the booster system.
Just as the ascent rate of the plane is maintained at around [-], the ascent rate of the cockpit should be within [-].But when the first co-pilot saw the cockpit altitude rate indicator, it showed that the aircraft's cockpit altitude rate was close to [-].
"Huh?" The first co-pilot knocked on the cockpit altitude control table: "Brother, this thing is so fast, is it normal?"
"What is it?" The captain looked at the cockpit altitude indicator in the direction pointed by the first co-pilot, and he let out a light sigh: "Yeah, why are you going up so fast? It's almost approaching the rate of ascent of the plane. The change in cabin altitude should be minimal."
The pressurization system of Boeing aircraft has its own working logic. Its pressurization method has a certain correlation with the ascent rate of the aircraft itself, but it is not linearly related.Moreover, the plane is already at an altitude of [-] feet at this moment, and there is not much room for the cabin to rise. It is normal for the pressurization system to be adjusted to a relatively small rate of rise.
However, some talked about the roughness of the Boeing aircraft itself.Sometimes there is a discrepancy between what is written in the manual and the actual situation. It is common for some systems to fail occasionally.
Therefore, the captain was not too flustered. He just unfastened his seat belt and wanted to get up to check the pressure of the pipes on both sides. As long as the components work normally, there is basically no problem. It was the plane that was "naughty".
The first co-pilot was also very calm. He glanced at the cockpit altimeter. According to the comparison table between the flight altitude and the cockpit altitude, according to the current altitude, the cockpit altitude should be maintained at about [-] feet.However, after the cockpit altitude reached [-] feet, the rate of ascent only decreased slightly, but did not return to zero.
"Huh? What does this mean?" According to the working logic of the pressurization system, the rate of ascent of the cabin altitude should be zeroed or reduced to a very small level at this time. Why is it still maintained at more than [-] feet per minute? In terms of rate of rise, this does not conform to the logic of the supercharging plan of the supercharging system.
At this moment, the captain had already unbuckled his seat belt, grabbed an iron pull ring on the visor panel with his left hand, and used this to pull himself up, and his right hand was ready to touch the panel.
However, when the captain's hand just touched the panel knob, the first co-pilot clearly saw that the pointer of the cockpit altitude indicator was only maintained in the range of [-] to [-], but for some reason, almost instantly, The needle passed straight back, over a thousand feet per minute, then two thousand feet, and finally in the unmarked area, reaching the maximum rate of ascent.
The heart of the first co-pilot seemed to stop beating at this moment, and he was too familiar with this change in lift rate, because he would see it in every decompression training of the simulator.
Just when the head of the first co-pilot was blank, a muffled subwoofer sounded into the cockpit, as if a heavy hammer hit the hearts of the two of them.
"Not good!" The co-pilot's loss of consciousness only lasted for a moment. After hearing the muffled sound, he immediately knew what happened at this moment.
Almost as soon as the co-pilot realized something was wrong, the constant beeping of the cabin altitude warning sounded.As soon as the captain touched the knob, the cockpit altitude warning sounded, and his body shrank back like a conditioned reflex, still shouting: "Relieve the pressure, wear an oxygen mask."
This action is basically the pilot's instinct. After releasing the pressure, put on the oxygen mask first regardless of other things.
But knowing it is one thing, being able to do it is another.In the training of the simulator, it is impossible to simulate the body's reaction to the explosive decompression of the cockpit. Naturally, I put it on when I want to, but when I really encountered it, the situation was different.
The captain was originally in a half-up position, but just now he sat back and was still touching the oxygen mask with his left hand, but he felt a sharp pain in his mouth, which made the captain almost lose his breath.
Everyone said that toothache is not a disease, but it can kill people. Now the captain understands the profoundness of this statement.In the case of decompression, the brain's response slowed down due to the severe hypoxia, and the sudden pain directly caused the captain to lose his ability to think.
He instinctively covered his mouth, only to feel wetness between his right fingers, saliva mixed with blood flowing down, and he couldn't stop it.
The captain had a porcelain tooth in his mouth, and he was usually fine, but under the action of the explosive decompression at high altitude, due to the change in air pressure, the flesh and blood of that tooth burst open and began to bleed profusely.
The severe pain planned to occupy all the captain's rationality, but he still endured the pain and kept fumbling for the oxygen mask with his left hand.I don't know if it was because of the change in air pressure. The touch of the fingers of the captain's left hand began to become numb, and he could no longer feel the protruding part of the oxygen mask.
Unlike the captain's situation, the first co-pilot seemed to be strangled by someone at the moment the plane was depressurized, unable to breathe at all.
When the pressurization was temporarily normal, the cockpit went up a little faster, and he felt a little uncomfortable. Now that the cockpit altitude of the plane rose directly to more than [-] feet per minute, how could he bear it?
However, the co-pilot was also calm in the face of danger. He touched the oxygen mask and put it on quickly when he was almost asphyxiated.The terrifying feeling of drowning just now made the co-pilot's heart almost jump out, but the oxygen mask gave him a little sense of peace of mind.
The first co-pilot instinctively took a few deep breaths. He suddenly discovered that the captain was not wearing an oxygen mask, but was slumped on the seat, with one hand resting on his chin. Half of his body was covered in blood. The captain's eyes were half-closed, and he seemed to have lost consciousness.
The first co-pilot's heart was beating wildly. He didn't understand why the captain became like this. He was shocked and frightened. His first thought was to help the captain put on the oxygen mask first, otherwise he would have to go out. fatal.
But as soon as he unfastened his seat belt and stood up for a while, he felt dizzy, he couldn't stand firmly for a while, and sat back on his buttocks.
At this moment, the heart of the first co-pilot was beating wildly like an engine running at full power.He took a deep breath and tried to get up again.However, with this movement, the vision in front of him began to blur, his head was heavy, and he seemed to be about to fall asleep.
"What's going on, how did this happen?" At this time, even the first co-pilot was unresponsive and understood that the development of the matter seemed to be different from his expectation.
The situation he encountered just now was very similar to the symptoms of hypoxia, but he had already put on an oxygen mask, so how could he still be hypoxic?
Could it be that there is something wrong with the oxygen system in the cockpit! ?
In the history of civil aviation, there have been problems with the oxygen system in the cockpit. There have been oxygen leaks in the cockpit, and the embarrassing problem that there was no oxygen available when the accident happened.
But that time the plane released the pressure slowly, the pilot's physiological reaction was not strong, and there was still some reaction time to control the plane to make an emergency descent.But his explosive decompression caused a sharp change in the surrounding air pressure, which could easily cause the body fluid to boil, and the pilot would feel great physiological discomfort because of this, making it much more difficult to deal with related special situations.
At this time, the head of the first co-pilot was already confused. Without oxygen in the high-altitude environment, people would soon lose consciousness.Now the captain can't count on him. If he is unconscious, the people on the plane will be in danger.
In fact, the oxygen mask is still supplying oxygen, as long as you feel it carefully, you can feel the slight airflow blowing out.It's just that the panicked thinking inertia of the co-pilot has already determined that there is no oxygen in the oxygen mask.
However, there was no difference in all of this. The more frightened the first co-pilot was, the more dizzy he felt. Repeatedly, the fear quickly swallowed the first co-pilot like a nightmare.
He has lost the ability to assess his own state!
At this moment, he had already given up trying to save the captain, and if he did, everyone on the plane would have to be buried with him.Even, the first co-pilot gave up manually closing all the outflow valves, because in the abnormal procedure, it is necessary for all the outflow valves to be in the closed position.
He knew exactly what the muffled sound just now represented. It was almost certain that somewhere in the body was damaged. Only large-scale damage to the body would cause such an explosive release of pressure.
Passenger oxygen, seat belt signal lights, emergency codes, he didn't even do it!He just wanted to let the plane descend, and then go up again, the plane just looked at the abyss and rampaged.
At this moment, the plane is still in the state of autopilot, which is a blessing in misfortune.With the current state of the first co-pilot, it would be impossible for him to fly manually if the autopilot was disconnected.
According to the normal situation, if you have not received the controller's emergency descent permission, you need to turn right [-] degrees and deviate from the route.The first officer intended to declare an emergency while beginning the descent.He knew that his current behavior might cause great trouble to the controller, but he couldn't care less, his life was the most important thing.
However, the first co-pilot had just raised his left hand, and before he pressed the radio button with his right hand, the MCP board had already started to appear double in his field of vision, and he couldn't even find the altitude knob.
In the case of an emergency descent, if you want to drive automatically, you should choose a lower altitude, and then press the FLCH button. You can adjust the speed as much as possible according to the situation, especially if the fuselage is damaged. in the case of.
FLCH is Flight Level CHange, and its function in autopilot is similar to that of Boeing 737's level change Level CHange.
The first co-pilot was in a cold sweat, the MCP board fell into his eyes and he was already confused, how could he make an emergency descent.If he was flying manually with the autopilot disconnected, he could ignore the change in the altitude window.But the problem is that his current state is completely in a situation where one plus one is equal to a few seconds. How can he control the plane?
In fact, it was the first co-pilot who was out of his mind.Although emergency descents require the use of an automatic method of altitude change in principle, it is not a rigid rule.
The same is to descend, and you have to worry about the way of descending at a critical moment?
If you change the descent method, use the vertical speed method, because the predetermined height has not yet been reached. If you directly introduce a descent rate, the automatic driving can ignore the higher height and continue to descend.
However, this alternative method requires a turn even when the head is clear, let alone when the mind is unconscious.
The first co-pilot could feel that his consciousness was passing away quickly, he knew that the moment of life and death had come, and his next actions would determine the life and death of the whole plane.
He gave up and continued to fumble on the MCP board, which would only waste his remaining energy.The first officer slowly removed his left hand from the MCP panel and instead fumbled for the cockpit door switch on the center console.
With a crisp sound, the cockpit door locking system is disengaged.Since the aircraft was still in a climbing state at this moment, the aircraft pitched and raised its head naturally, which caused the cockpit door to open spontaneously as soon as it was unlocked.
The moment the cabin door opened, the first co-pilot yelled at the back with all his strength: "Call someone, call someone!"
There are so many, can you vote?
