Chapter 141 The Thoughts of the Past! (Please subscribe!)
In the passenger cabin, Xu Cang's nose fluttered, but he still didn't smell the so-called gasoline smell.However, asthma patients are generally more sensitive to abnormal smells than ordinary people, and Xu Cang did not dare to directly deny the middle-aged man's words.
With the guidance of the middle-aged man, the purser quickly found a spray from the red backpack.Quickly handing it out, the middle-aged man took a few deep breaths, as if he had tasted something delicious, and let out a long breath.
Most of these sprays are short-acting hormonal drugs, which can greatly inhibit bronchospasm, which is the crux of the difficulty in breathing in asthmatic patients.
Generally speaking, the effect of this anti-spasmodic aerosol drug is very fast. Within 2 minutes, the middle-aged man felt much more comfortable, and his wheezing gradually calmed down, but he didn't know whether it was caused by the lack of oxygen just now, or There was lingering fear in his escape, his face was still as white as paper, without any blood.
This man was polite, he took his time to express his gratitude to the chief purser, and then patted Xu Cang's arm: "Little brother, I'm so sorry, I scared you just now."
He didn't even need to think about it to imagine how frightening his out of breath look was just now, probably not far from the hanged dying look.
"It's okay, it's okay." Xu Cang quickly shook his head: "It's really sudden, but I'm fine."
The moment when the purser turned on the light to illuminate the man's face was the scariest moment, but the rest of the time was fine.
At this time, the flight attendant saw that the breathing sound of the middle-aged man seemed to be normal, and asked, "Sir, do you need to change the seat? There are fewer people in the front row."
The first class and business class are full of people, but there are not too many people in the first three rows of the economy class. It is relatively spacious and more comfortable.
Moreover, that location was very close to the front cabin workshop, so she could hear any movement.That moment just now really scared the purser, she doesn't want to do it again.
"Can you?" The middle-aged man was still a little embarrassed.
Normally, the flight attendants would definitely try not to allow passengers to change seats, but now they still care so much, and nodded hurriedly: "If you want, I will go to the front later to coordinate and help you vacate an empty triple seat. "
The purser looked at his watch and found that the plane was very stable now, and they thought they would be able to carry out cabin services normally in a little while.At that time, it was convenient for her to communicate with the passengers in the front row. After all, strictly speaking, she is now performing an illegal operation of leaving her seat.
The middle-aged man also hoped that there would be more space around him and that he could sit comfortably, so he thanked him in a hurry: "Yes, yes, thank you."
"It should be." Seeing that the middle-aged man was in a normal mood and spoke clearly, the purser was finally completely relieved, after all, he had escaped a catastrophe.
She's been away from her seat for too long, it's time to go back first.Originally, she planned to give the middle-aged man a few words of advice, but when she thought that he had lost his basic mobility when he had an asthma attack just now, she couldn't count on it at all, so she noticed Xu Cang who was seated next to him, and whispered: "Brother, I'll come back in a while, you can take a look for me, okay?"
Xu Cang nodded: "It's okay, you go back first, you've stayed here for too long."
The purser was very grateful, and then he glanced at the middle-aged man, and after confirming that there was no problem, he went back to the front cabin workshop.She is indeed leaving her seat in violation of the regulations, but depending on the situation, this problem can be big or small.She had to explain the situation to the flight attendant below her when she went back, so that she could focus on the relevant personnel in the follow-up.
After the purser left, the middle-aged man lay his head back, trying to adjust his breathing.Even at this moment, his heart is still beating wildly.
Suddenly, Xu Cang's questioning voice came from beside him: "I'm sorry to interrupt your rest. What did you mean when you said you smelled gasoline? I seem to be fine."
The middle-aged man opened his eyes, shook his head, and frowned unconsciously: "Hey, it seems to be gone. Actually, I don't know for sure, I just feel it."
"Is that so." Xu Cang was not too entangled. In the high-altitude environment, sometimes there will be some strange smells in the cabin, and it may not necessarily be the smell of gasoline.
In fact, there is no gasoline on the plane, and the plane uses aviation kerosene, which is called the third fuel in China.Although they are both fuel oil, the smells of the two are actually somewhat different, but ordinary people are not very good at distinguishing them, and they just generally think of them as the smell of gasoline.
Looking out of the window, the outline of the No. [-] engine is relatively easy to distinguish in the faintly bright sky. After listening carefully, the sound of the engine running seems to be normal.
Shaking his head, to get rid of distracting thoughts in his mind, Xu Cang secretly mocked that he might not be nervous, and he always doubted whether the plane would have an accident.
Restraining his vague perception of danger, Xu Cang put his knees on the back of the seat in front of him, and curled up again.Within a few minutes, as the purser said before, she explained everything, and when the time was almost up, she left the front cabin workshop to coordinate with the passengers in the front row, and the seat was quickly vacated, and then went to find the asthmatic middle-aged man.
This time, there was another flight attendant with the chief purser. The chief flight attendant asked his flight attendants to lead the middle-aged man to the new seat in front, while he had something to say to Xu Cang in private.
At this time, Xu Cang moved his seat to the one next to the aisle, next to the window, and the armrest on one side was inconvenient.As soon as Xu Cang sat down, the purser bent down and asked, "Brother, I just checked the first-class cabin, and there is still an empty seat. Do you want to sit in the first-class cabin?"
"No need." Xu Cang refused without thinking, the first class cabin was full of those old men, he hated it so much, he would feel physically uncomfortable breathing the same air with them.
The purser didn't know about the matter between Xu Cang and the old first-class pilots in front, so he said that Xu Cang was being polite, and immediately persuaded: "Brother, it's okay, there are not so many restrictions on the upgrade of internal personnel in the company."
"No!" As soon as Xu Cang heard it, he knew that the purser had misunderstood, and was just about to explain.However, his ears moved slightly, his breathing tightened suddenly, and vaguely, how did he feel that the sound of the engine running was a little abnormal?
Seeing Xu Cang's sudden expression change, the purser subconsciously asked, "Brother, what's the matter?"
"Quiet!" The moment Xu Cang's voice fell, boom!A very clear and crisp sound came into Xu Cang's ear, even amidst the noisy engine running, the sound was very clear, like the sound of steel cracking.
Almost at the same time, Xu Cang uttered an incredible voice: "The transmission shaft is broken!?"
To be honest, it is impossible to accurately judge what happened with just one voice.But Xu Cang thought of the possibility of the engine drive shaft breaking with an almost intuitive speed.
As if in response to Xu Cang's conjecture, the sound of gold and iron clashing one after another almost overwhelmed the rumbling noise of the engine in an instant after the sound of breaking.
There was so much movement here that even the chief purser could sense something was wrong.She stood up straight, and looked in the direction of the No. [-] engine suspiciously, because she probably could tell that the movement just now came from that direction.
Not only the purser heard it, but the passengers who were a little closer to the engine on the left basically sensed something was wrong.The purser became suspicious, and asked first, "Brother, what was the sound just now?"
"Fat" just as Xu Cang uttered a word, the whole plane seemed to be stirred up by a huge air current, and it produced a terrifying vibration with an extremely exaggerated range of motion, followed by a loud noise that seemed to explode in the ear echoed throughout the cabin.
Under the loud noise, Xu Cang subconsciously covered his ears.However, he soon discovered that due to the sudden violent shaking of the plane, the purser was unable to stand steadily and was about to fall down.
The aisle of an airplane is not the same as that on a flat ground. A fall on a flat ground will cause the skin to be scratched, but the aisle of an airplane is too narrow.
Fortunately, Xu Cang had quick eyes and quick hands, grabbed the purser's wrist, and then pulled it along. With a tender cry, the purser directly sat in Xu Cang's arms.
Xu Cang didn't feel the warmth and soft jade in his arms at all, but just wrapped one arm around the soft waist of the purser and fixed it.
At the same time, Xu Cang faced the direction of the engine, and through the porthole, he clearly saw the No. [-] engine tail nozzle spraying out the target flame, which was extremely ferocious.
"The engine exploded?" The sound of the out-of-the-box explosion just now was too loud, and it was easy to associate it with the engine explosion.Perhaps no professional judgment is required, passengers who know nothing can roughly tell the difference.
It's just that why the key engine exploded is worth pondering.
After experiencing the initial shaking of the aircraft under the impact of the engine, the body of the aircraft quickly returned to calm, and did not produce any particularly large state changes.
Xu Cang thought to himself, it should be Teacher Shi Qi's quick reaction, and he controlled the state of the plane that was about to get out of control under the engine explosion in a short time.
I have to mention that Teacher Shi Qi's technique is really swift and precise.Unlike ordinary engine failure or more similar engine fires, although the final result is the same, the process is completely different.
Under the engine explosion, due to the impact of the air, the aircraft body will undergo a huge state change in a short period of time.Moreover, this process will be accompanied by sudden inconsistencies in the thrust of the engine.
If it is a simple engine fire alarm, the thrust of the engine may not change suddenly when the fire alarm occurs, and even in some cases, the engine can continue to run for a period of time under combustion conditions.
Therefore, a simple engine fire alarm often does not have the problem of too sudden difference in engine thrust, but it is relatively easy to control the state of the aircraft.
On the contrary, if the engine suddenly shuts down without warning, it is necessary to consider the sudden change of the state under the differential thrust.However, this does not mean that an engine fire alarm is easier to handle than an engine failure. To a considerable extent, a fire alarm is higher than a simple engine failure and flameout.
This difference is reflected in the way of announcing an emergency state. When the engine fire alarm, the crew generally announces MAYDAY, and if it is only the engine flameout failure, usually the crew will only announce PANPAN.
PANPAN is an emergency, but not an immediate threat to life.But MAYDAY has already directly affected the safety of life, and there is still a gap in the degree of urgency between the two.
In civil aviation flight, no matter what type of aircraft it is, no matter what stage of the flight it is, as long as there is a fire, it is a special situation with a high priority and needs to be dealt with immediately.
In order to land as soon as possible, even in some cases, behaviors beyond the norm are allowed, such as overweight landing.
The reason why the fire alarm is so urgent is not only that it will cause various system failures, but also that the fire alarm will extend a very difficult problem, that is, smoke.
Due to the need for pressurization, if there is smoke in the cabin, the windows cannot be opened like the cars on the ground.Of course, both Airbus and Boeing aircraft have smoke exhaust procedures, but in view of the special environment of the aircraft, the efficiency of smoke exhaust is really worrying. In many cases, the exhaust efficiency is not as fast as the speed of smoke generation.
Under tremendous psychological pressure, coupled with sudden changes in the status of the aircraft, there may be manipulation errors or unresponsive situations.But apart from the initial uncontrollable attitude changes of this aircraft, the aircraft became quite stable in the subsequent period.
Xu Cang turned his head sideways and looked forward along the aisle, and found that the front and rear cabins seemed to be fairly quiet, with no apparent confusion.
While engine explosions are rare, so far the situation appears to have stabilized.Moreover, it is not too long before the plane takes off, and the return journey will not take too long.
In this era, many airports have not yet been built or are not open, and there are actually not so many options for air route alternates. There are even fewer airports with relatively good runways like Qizhou, so it is unfortunate to be able to return in a relatively short period of time. Fortunately.Then listen carefully to the sound of the No. [-] engine, it is finally normal.
However, Xu Cang can't trust his ears too much. Many time failures happen in an instant, so it's impossible to say for sure.
Just as Xu Cang was assessing the situation, he only felt a soft body in his arms move slightly, and then Xu Cang realized that he was still holding the purser.
After reacting, Xu Cang noticed that because he was too nervous just now, his right hand was around the purser's waist, and he exerted so much force that the purser's body was tightly attached to Xu Cang.
"Brother, are you alright?" The moment Xu Cang came to his senses, a voice that seemed to turn Bailian Steel into soft fingers echoed in his ears.
Xu Cang hurriedly said, "Huh? Oh, it's all right."
So, he immediately let go of the right hand that was embracing the purser.Rather, at this moment, the originally tense body of the purser suddenly softened, as if made of the smoothest water.
After Xu Cang let go of his right arm, he thought that the purser would stand up on his own, but after waiting for two or three seconds, he found that the purser was still sitting in his arms, and the place where his body touched seemed to be getting warmer and warmer, as if Xu Cang is not holding a body in his arms, but a flame that is about to ignite.
After waiting for a long time, Xu Cang wanted to pat the purser, but he still paid attention, and raised his hand to pat the purser's shoulder: "Is there any problem?"
"Ah? No!" The purser stood up immediately after Xu Cang asked, and hurriedly ran to the front cabin workshop without even turning his head.
Xu Cang touched his head: "What?"
At this time, in the cockpit, shortly after the No. [-] engine exploded, a large amount of ECAM consultation information appeared, and Wu Taiming felt dizzy when he saw it.
As the power source of the entire aircraft, the damage of any engine will cause a lot of failure chains, such as electricity, hydraulic pressure, and flight control.
First thing to do, though, is the engine fire warning light that comes on!
The engine fire caused by the explosion needs to be dealt with urgently, and the rest of the situation can be postponed for a while, so it is necessary to distinguish between the primary and secondary.
However, Shi Qi didn't completely focus on the fire alarm of the No. [-] engine, but ordered Wu Taiming before doing anything: "Start the APU!"
Wu Taiming was a little dizzy just now from the shock of the huge explosion, until he heard Shi Qi's calm words, he calmed down a little, oh, and immediately went to start the APU.
Although the aircraft has automatic power switching, the power of the APU should be connected to the system as soon as possible in the follow-up to ensure that the aircraft is always under the supply of two AC power sources.
Moreover, the simple action of starting the APU is not complicated and will not delay a lot of time.
In the event of an engine explosion, the initial drastic change in the state of the aircraft had caused the autopilot to be disengaged.Shi Qi did not turn on the autopilot after correcting the state of the plane, but manually took over the control of the plane. If it was just a problem with one engine, it could still be handled by Shi Qi.
After Wu Taiming finished starting the APU, Shi Qi directly put the thrust handle of No. [-] engine to the idle car, and then signaled Wu Taiming: "The main switch of No. [-] engine is closed."
This procedure is somewhat different from Boeing's fire alarm procedure, where this action should be replaced by cutting the engine starter handle on the corresponding side.
However, in a sense, Airbus's main engine switch and Boeing's starter handle have a lot of overlapping functions, so in fact, in essence, this step can also be considered the same.
At this time, Wu Taiming was already extremely nervous, but he still followed Shi Qi's guidance by instinct, quickly located the main switch of No. [-] engine, and then turned it off.
While controlling the state of the plane, Shi Qi paid attention to Wu Taiming's movements.After confirming that Wu Taiming had turned off the main switch of the No. [-] engine, he hardly stopped, and then gave an instruction: "Press the No. [-] engine fire alarm button."
The engine fire alarm button usually has a transparent cover on it to prevent the crew from accidentally touching it.Under normal circumstances, this button is pressed, as long as it is pressed again, the button will be pressed out.Thereafter, the audible fire warning disappears and the light remains on until the fire is extinguished and power is no longer supplied to the FADEC of the corresponding engine.
The function of this button is somewhat similar to Boeing's pull-out fire extinguishing handle, which can also pre-position the fire bottle explosion cap, close the fuel low-pressure valve, close the hydraulic system fire cut-off switch and engine bleed valve, component flow control valve and disconnect IDG.
Its essence is to isolate the engine in question from the entire aircraft system, that is, power off, oil off, and hydraulic pressure off.
Afterwards, after the engine fire alarm button pops up, the two fire extinguishing agent buttons are activated, which belongs to the ready state.Shi Qi told Wu Taiming to press the fire extinguishing agent 1 button after ten seconds had elapsed.
The ten second wait is to allow N1 to drop low enough to reduce engine nacelle ventilation.Otherwise, if the airflow in the nacelle is too rough, some of the fire extinguishing agent may be blown away, which greatly reduces the fire extinguishing effect.
After 30 seconds, after observing that the fire alarm signal of the engine has not been extinguished, the button of fire extinguishing agent 2 is also pressed.
"Wait for a while, and then execute the shutdown procedure." Shi Qi licked his chapped lips, and in this case, don't think about restarting the engine.In the future, we can still wait for the effect of the fire extinguishing system. Before executing the shutdown procedure, Wu Taiming still needs to do one more thing.
Shi Qi glanced at the fire alarm panel and sighed: "Announce MAYDAY, let's go back to Qizhou and apply for radar guidance."
At this moment, at the operation and control center of Shandong Airlines, the phone of the safety duty seat suddenly rang. The safety duty manager who had been leisurely picked up the phone and asked, "What's the matter?"
A man's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, this is the Operation Control Center of the National University Headquarters. We have monitored the key system alarm of the 1241 aircraft. You can learn about the relevant information."
"1241?" The safety manager immediately took his feet off the table: "Can you know what the fault is?"
NUS Express apologized: "Now our monitoring system can't tell what's going on, and you need to understand it yourself."
"Okay, got it." After finishing speaking, the security manager hung up the phone.
The safety manager is actually not familiar with the aircraft number 1241, because this is the number of the Airbus planes that China National Airlines forced to give to Shandong Airlines.
One thing that Airbus has done well is that the linkage of the information system is very good.After a certain aircraft has a problem, the operation control of the airline to which it belongs can receive relevant alarms.However, the alarm is already the limit, and if you can subdivide which system has a fault, then don't even think about it, it has not reached such an advanced level.
However, since those Airbus planes have only come to Shandong Airlines not long ago and have not been connected to Shandong Airlines' operation control system, the responsibility for safety monitoring is still the responsibility of the original airline's National University Aviation Operation Control Center.
The safety manager thought for a while, and shouted at the staff at the front desk: "Can you check what flight 1241 is currently flying?"
The staff in front flicked around on the computer, and quickly turned around to answer the safety manager: "Now it should be the section from Qizhou to Hanjing. The flight number is 9451. It didn't take long before it took off."
"If it wasn't long after takeoff, it should still be within the border of the Qizhou Regional Control." The safety manager scratched his chin, and immediately picked up the phone to call the Qizhou Regional Control Office.
The call was connected soon, and the safety manager immediately said, "Hi, this is the Operation Control Center of Shandong Airlines."
The person on the other side heard that it belonged to Shandong Airlines, and their attitude was very good. After all, in the border of Qizhou, Shandong Airlines is quite generous to the control units and has a good reputation.
"What's the matter, is there a problem?"
Hearing the relaxed tone of the people in the control room, the safety manager was relieved at first. It seems that the problem is not too big, otherwise the control room would have exploded first.However, he still said quickly: "That's right. We have monitored a problem with a plane here. The flight number is 9451, and the aircraft number is 1241. Qizhou is flying to Hanjing. This plane didn't leave the Qizhou area, right?"
"Wait a minute!" The person in the control room said, and after about half a minute, the person in the control room spoke again: "I haven't left the area yet! It's the plane that broke down, but we haven't received any information yet." crew report"
Now, the safety manager is a little more relaxed: "Hello, can you please contact the crew? Ask about the specific situation. I'll wait for your call here."
"This, no problem!" The people in the control room were very cheerful.
However, just when the safety manager was about to hang up the phone after thanking him, he heard a burst of noise from the other end of the phone. 9451 is linked to the emergency code. I will take care of the plane first, and I will contact you later.”
The safety manager wanted to say a few more words, but as soon as the words reached his lips, there was a beeping sound of hanging up on the phone.
The security manager was stunned for a moment, and then snapped the receiver on the phone, wanting to curse.The guy in the control room was still saying it was okay one second, and the next second the plane hung up the emergency code, which was really bad luck.
After thinking for a while, the safety manager patted the subordinate in front and told him to keep an eye on the phone of the Qizhou regional control room, and then hurried upstairs to the office of the general manager of the flight department.
Since Shandong Airlines was established more than a year ago, this is the first time that the emergency code has been hung up.
The office of the general manager of the flight department is on the upper floor of the operation and control center. The safety manager did not take the elevator, but climbed the stairs directly.When he opened the door of the office of the general manager of the flight department panting, he was just about to explain the situation, but his words were swallowed back.
I saw another woman in the office of the general manager of the flight department, and it turned out to be Shi Lingling who was collecting report materials in the Shandong Airlines building these days.A few days ago, the mission center planned to do a special report on Shandong Airlines, and Shi Lingling was the person in charge.During this period of time, she has interviewed many leaders of Shandong Airlines, and now it seems that it is the turn of the general manager of the flight department.
Under such an embarrassing scene, the security manager was a little embarrassed.It is a bit of a face to be able to go to the publicity materials of the mission center. It seems that it is not good to interrupt the interview with the general manager of the flight department.
The general manager of the flight department could see it, but he was not annoyed. He waved to the safety manager and motioned him to come in: "What's the matter, what happened?"
The safety manager glanced at Shi Lingling, who was sitting opposite the general manager of the flight department, hesitant to speak, he didn't know whether he should tell the emergency in the presence of the bureau representative.
Seeing the awkward appearance of the safety manager, the general manager of the flight department guessed a lot.He had no intention of hiding it. Anyway, he had to submit a detailed report to the bureau after the incident. Now that the representative of the bureau is here, it may save trouble.
This is the confidence of Shandong Airlines, which believes that even with the presence of representatives from the bureau, it can handle special situations in an orderly manner without leaving any flaws.
"Tell me, what's going on?" said the general manager of the flight department.
Now that the boss has spoken, the safety manager has no worries, and immediately said, "Flight 9451 has an emergency code just now."
The general manager of the flight department was taken aback. Even though he had some mental preparations, he still didn't expect to need to hang the emergency code, so he couldn't help but get a little nervous: "What's wrong, do you understand?"
"I don't know yet." The security manager said, "I've asked Qizhou control to ask."
Just as the general manager of the flight department and the safety manager were asking and answering questions, Shi Lingling, who had been silent all this time, suddenly let out a light snort: "Did you mean flight 9451 just now? It was flying to Hanjing, right?"
The safety manager nodded: "Yes, Miss Shi, how do you know?"
Shi Lingling's face suddenly changed: "My dad is on top!"
In the cockpit of Flight 9451, an old man with white beard and hair was sitting on the observer seat that was originally empty. He turned out to be Teacher Wang Baotian who had gone to see Xu Cang before.
This time he was one of the 23 meritorious pilots who went to Hanjing to sue.The explosion just now really alarmed them. Since it was closely related to his own life, Wang Baotian was elected as a representative to enter the cockpit to understand the current situation.
Wang Baotian was born in Boeing and has never flown an Airbus plane.In his eyes, this Airbus aircraft is really like a book from heaven, because the first Airbus 320 in China was introduced by Sichuan Airlines five years ago, and it is barely a new product.
However, Wang Baotian didn't plan to fly by himself, he just wanted to see the specific situation of the plane and the crew's assessment attitude towards the special situation.
At this moment, the plane had already started to turn back to Qizhou Airport. Before Wang Baotian entered the cockpit, Shi Qi and Wu Taiming had already completed the shutdown procedure, which meant that the plane had to land with a single engine.
Wang Baotian looked around at the various instruments, but he didn't ask one by one what was the reason for those warning lights.He still knows not to intervene in areas he doesn't understand, and talking too much by himself will affect the work rhythm of Shi Qi present here.
At this time, the cockpit is relatively harmonious.Due to the emergence of a single engine, after returning to Qizhou, there are many flight data that need to be changed, such as cruising altitude and speed, alternate fuel and so on.
Wu Taiming was in charge of most of these tasks, while Shi Qi was mainly in charge of making decisions and at the same time controlling the status of the aircraft.
After waiting for a while, Shi Qi tried to connect some autopilots again, but still didn't connect, which made Shi Qi a little strange.
"Is it because the autopilot can't connect?" Seeing that Shi Qi had tried to press a certain button for the third time, Wang Baotian probably had a guess in his heart.
Shi Qi didn't hide anything: "Yeah! But it's also very strange. Reasonably, if there is a problem with one engine, it won't prevent the automatic driving from being connected."
This is still understandable for Wang Baotian, and it is actually a concept with Boeing.In the case of a single engine, the autothrottle may not be very easy to use, but the autopilot can still be connected, which can greatly reduce the pilot's control pressure so that more energy can be allocated to the fault itself.
"That's really strange, is it because of the hydraulic pressure?" Wang Baotian guessed.
Shi Qi also didn't understand what was going on, so he simply ignored it: "Forget it, if you can't pick it up, don't pick it up, just fly by yourself."
"En." Wang Baotian nodded. The clearance and airflow environment of Qizhou Airport are relatively good, unlike some plateau and high plateau airports in the southwest or northwest.Not to mention those places with single engines, even with twin engines, some captains can’t fly here, that’s fatal.
After waiting for a while, Wang Baotian asked, "Can the plane land?"
This problem was also the main reason why Wang Baotian came in. He didn't want to hear what Shi Qi said, he just wanted an attitude.Shi Qi's technical level can be seen in the task book of the plus crew, a C-category instructor, which is already the ceiling of the pilot's technical level.The company inspectors behind, bureau inspectors, etc., are not technical grades, but just positions.
Reasonably speaking, at Qizhou Airport, if there are no special circumstances, a class C instructor should be able to land the plane.However, he needs Shi Qi to say it himself.
When this question was asked, even Wu Taiming, who was re-entering the flight data, pricked up his ears and listened carefully.
Shi Qi was full of confidence: "If this is the case, then it should be no problem to fall."
Shi Qi spoke responsibly and did not ramble.So far, he can still control the state of the plane, but if there are any strange failures in the future, he can't guarantee that he will be able to deal with them.
"Okay, as long as I have your words!" Wang Baotian didn't ask too many questions. Now that Shi Qi is the Airbus captain on the whole plane, they can only choose to trust Shi Qi.
At the same time, the flight crew who received the cockpit information had already started to get busy.On the one hand, they need to appease the passengers, and on the other hand, they have to prepare for the return flight to Qizhou.According to the information provided by the cockpit, it is estimated that the plane will land in more than 20 minutes, and the time is still relatively tight.
When the flight crew was busy, Xu Cang grabbed the chief flight attendant who was passing by, and asked in a low voice: "Did the cockpit say anything else when you contacted the front?"
For some reason, when the purser saw Xu Cang, his face turned red, and he lowered his head and replied, "Brother, you didn't say anything earlier, just give us an estimated landing time."
"You didn't even say you planned to evacuate?"
The purser shook his head: "I didn't say that!"
"Well, go get busy!" Xu Cang clicked his tongue, and after the purser left, he said to himself: "It seems that the problem is not too big."
However, there is one thing that Xu Cang is very concerned about, that is, he just realized that the flight number 9451 of this flight is a bit strange.Tell him that the cursed flight 1549, which is said to be mortal, is the flight number reversed?
Although Xu Cang didn't care about ghosts and gods, he even encountered rebirth, and this situation still made him very hard to let go.If there is really some connection between the two, even Xu Cang will feel the pressure doubled.
No, there should be a feeling of death!
The reason why flight 1549 is called an unsolvable cursed flight is not for nothing.Xu Cang has participated in several simulations, but he has never succeeded, let alone only one chance in the actual flight.
"I hope I'm worrying too much!" Xu Cang prayed.
(End of this chapter)
In the passenger cabin, Xu Cang's nose fluttered, but he still didn't smell the so-called gasoline smell.However, asthma patients are generally more sensitive to abnormal smells than ordinary people, and Xu Cang did not dare to directly deny the middle-aged man's words.
With the guidance of the middle-aged man, the purser quickly found a spray from the red backpack.Quickly handing it out, the middle-aged man took a few deep breaths, as if he had tasted something delicious, and let out a long breath.
Most of these sprays are short-acting hormonal drugs, which can greatly inhibit bronchospasm, which is the crux of the difficulty in breathing in asthmatic patients.
Generally speaking, the effect of this anti-spasmodic aerosol drug is very fast. Within 2 minutes, the middle-aged man felt much more comfortable, and his wheezing gradually calmed down, but he didn't know whether it was caused by the lack of oxygen just now, or There was lingering fear in his escape, his face was still as white as paper, without any blood.
This man was polite, he took his time to express his gratitude to the chief purser, and then patted Xu Cang's arm: "Little brother, I'm so sorry, I scared you just now."
He didn't even need to think about it to imagine how frightening his out of breath look was just now, probably not far from the hanged dying look.
"It's okay, it's okay." Xu Cang quickly shook his head: "It's really sudden, but I'm fine."
The moment when the purser turned on the light to illuminate the man's face was the scariest moment, but the rest of the time was fine.
At this time, the flight attendant saw that the breathing sound of the middle-aged man seemed to be normal, and asked, "Sir, do you need to change the seat? There are fewer people in the front row."
The first class and business class are full of people, but there are not too many people in the first three rows of the economy class. It is relatively spacious and more comfortable.
Moreover, that location was very close to the front cabin workshop, so she could hear any movement.That moment just now really scared the purser, she doesn't want to do it again.
"Can you?" The middle-aged man was still a little embarrassed.
Normally, the flight attendants would definitely try not to allow passengers to change seats, but now they still care so much, and nodded hurriedly: "If you want, I will go to the front later to coordinate and help you vacate an empty triple seat. "
The purser looked at his watch and found that the plane was very stable now, and they thought they would be able to carry out cabin services normally in a little while.At that time, it was convenient for her to communicate with the passengers in the front row. After all, strictly speaking, she is now performing an illegal operation of leaving her seat.
The middle-aged man also hoped that there would be more space around him and that he could sit comfortably, so he thanked him in a hurry: "Yes, yes, thank you."
"It should be." Seeing that the middle-aged man was in a normal mood and spoke clearly, the purser was finally completely relieved, after all, he had escaped a catastrophe.
She's been away from her seat for too long, it's time to go back first.Originally, she planned to give the middle-aged man a few words of advice, but when she thought that he had lost his basic mobility when he had an asthma attack just now, she couldn't count on it at all, so she noticed Xu Cang who was seated next to him, and whispered: "Brother, I'll come back in a while, you can take a look for me, okay?"
Xu Cang nodded: "It's okay, you go back first, you've stayed here for too long."
The purser was very grateful, and then he glanced at the middle-aged man, and after confirming that there was no problem, he went back to the front cabin workshop.She is indeed leaving her seat in violation of the regulations, but depending on the situation, this problem can be big or small.She had to explain the situation to the flight attendant below her when she went back, so that she could focus on the relevant personnel in the follow-up.
After the purser left, the middle-aged man lay his head back, trying to adjust his breathing.Even at this moment, his heart is still beating wildly.
Suddenly, Xu Cang's questioning voice came from beside him: "I'm sorry to interrupt your rest. What did you mean when you said you smelled gasoline? I seem to be fine."
The middle-aged man opened his eyes, shook his head, and frowned unconsciously: "Hey, it seems to be gone. Actually, I don't know for sure, I just feel it."
"Is that so." Xu Cang was not too entangled. In the high-altitude environment, sometimes there will be some strange smells in the cabin, and it may not necessarily be the smell of gasoline.
In fact, there is no gasoline on the plane, and the plane uses aviation kerosene, which is called the third fuel in China.Although they are both fuel oil, the smells of the two are actually somewhat different, but ordinary people are not very good at distinguishing them, and they just generally think of them as the smell of gasoline.
Looking out of the window, the outline of the No. [-] engine is relatively easy to distinguish in the faintly bright sky. After listening carefully, the sound of the engine running seems to be normal.
Shaking his head, to get rid of distracting thoughts in his mind, Xu Cang secretly mocked that he might not be nervous, and he always doubted whether the plane would have an accident.
Restraining his vague perception of danger, Xu Cang put his knees on the back of the seat in front of him, and curled up again.Within a few minutes, as the purser said before, she explained everything, and when the time was almost up, she left the front cabin workshop to coordinate with the passengers in the front row, and the seat was quickly vacated, and then went to find the asthmatic middle-aged man.
This time, there was another flight attendant with the chief purser. The chief flight attendant asked his flight attendants to lead the middle-aged man to the new seat in front, while he had something to say to Xu Cang in private.
At this time, Xu Cang moved his seat to the one next to the aisle, next to the window, and the armrest on one side was inconvenient.As soon as Xu Cang sat down, the purser bent down and asked, "Brother, I just checked the first-class cabin, and there is still an empty seat. Do you want to sit in the first-class cabin?"
"No need." Xu Cang refused without thinking, the first class cabin was full of those old men, he hated it so much, he would feel physically uncomfortable breathing the same air with them.
The purser didn't know about the matter between Xu Cang and the old first-class pilots in front, so he said that Xu Cang was being polite, and immediately persuaded: "Brother, it's okay, there are not so many restrictions on the upgrade of internal personnel in the company."
"No!" As soon as Xu Cang heard it, he knew that the purser had misunderstood, and was just about to explain.However, his ears moved slightly, his breathing tightened suddenly, and vaguely, how did he feel that the sound of the engine running was a little abnormal?
Seeing Xu Cang's sudden expression change, the purser subconsciously asked, "Brother, what's the matter?"
"Quiet!" The moment Xu Cang's voice fell, boom!A very clear and crisp sound came into Xu Cang's ear, even amidst the noisy engine running, the sound was very clear, like the sound of steel cracking.
Almost at the same time, Xu Cang uttered an incredible voice: "The transmission shaft is broken!?"
To be honest, it is impossible to accurately judge what happened with just one voice.But Xu Cang thought of the possibility of the engine drive shaft breaking with an almost intuitive speed.
As if in response to Xu Cang's conjecture, the sound of gold and iron clashing one after another almost overwhelmed the rumbling noise of the engine in an instant after the sound of breaking.
There was so much movement here that even the chief purser could sense something was wrong.She stood up straight, and looked in the direction of the No. [-] engine suspiciously, because she probably could tell that the movement just now came from that direction.
Not only the purser heard it, but the passengers who were a little closer to the engine on the left basically sensed something was wrong.The purser became suspicious, and asked first, "Brother, what was the sound just now?"
"Fat" just as Xu Cang uttered a word, the whole plane seemed to be stirred up by a huge air current, and it produced a terrifying vibration with an extremely exaggerated range of motion, followed by a loud noise that seemed to explode in the ear echoed throughout the cabin.
Under the loud noise, Xu Cang subconsciously covered his ears.However, he soon discovered that due to the sudden violent shaking of the plane, the purser was unable to stand steadily and was about to fall down.
The aisle of an airplane is not the same as that on a flat ground. A fall on a flat ground will cause the skin to be scratched, but the aisle of an airplane is too narrow.
Fortunately, Xu Cang had quick eyes and quick hands, grabbed the purser's wrist, and then pulled it along. With a tender cry, the purser directly sat in Xu Cang's arms.
Xu Cang didn't feel the warmth and soft jade in his arms at all, but just wrapped one arm around the soft waist of the purser and fixed it.
At the same time, Xu Cang faced the direction of the engine, and through the porthole, he clearly saw the No. [-] engine tail nozzle spraying out the target flame, which was extremely ferocious.
"The engine exploded?" The sound of the out-of-the-box explosion just now was too loud, and it was easy to associate it with the engine explosion.Perhaps no professional judgment is required, passengers who know nothing can roughly tell the difference.
It's just that why the key engine exploded is worth pondering.
After experiencing the initial shaking of the aircraft under the impact of the engine, the body of the aircraft quickly returned to calm, and did not produce any particularly large state changes.
Xu Cang thought to himself, it should be Teacher Shi Qi's quick reaction, and he controlled the state of the plane that was about to get out of control under the engine explosion in a short time.
I have to mention that Teacher Shi Qi's technique is really swift and precise.Unlike ordinary engine failure or more similar engine fires, although the final result is the same, the process is completely different.
Under the engine explosion, due to the impact of the air, the aircraft body will undergo a huge state change in a short period of time.Moreover, this process will be accompanied by sudden inconsistencies in the thrust of the engine.
If it is a simple engine fire alarm, the thrust of the engine may not change suddenly when the fire alarm occurs, and even in some cases, the engine can continue to run for a period of time under combustion conditions.
Therefore, a simple engine fire alarm often does not have the problem of too sudden difference in engine thrust, but it is relatively easy to control the state of the aircraft.
On the contrary, if the engine suddenly shuts down without warning, it is necessary to consider the sudden change of the state under the differential thrust.However, this does not mean that an engine fire alarm is easier to handle than an engine failure. To a considerable extent, a fire alarm is higher than a simple engine failure and flameout.
This difference is reflected in the way of announcing an emergency state. When the engine fire alarm, the crew generally announces MAYDAY, and if it is only the engine flameout failure, usually the crew will only announce PANPAN.
PANPAN is an emergency, but not an immediate threat to life.But MAYDAY has already directly affected the safety of life, and there is still a gap in the degree of urgency between the two.
In civil aviation flight, no matter what type of aircraft it is, no matter what stage of the flight it is, as long as there is a fire, it is a special situation with a high priority and needs to be dealt with immediately.
In order to land as soon as possible, even in some cases, behaviors beyond the norm are allowed, such as overweight landing.
The reason why the fire alarm is so urgent is not only that it will cause various system failures, but also that the fire alarm will extend a very difficult problem, that is, smoke.
Due to the need for pressurization, if there is smoke in the cabin, the windows cannot be opened like the cars on the ground.Of course, both Airbus and Boeing aircraft have smoke exhaust procedures, but in view of the special environment of the aircraft, the efficiency of smoke exhaust is really worrying. In many cases, the exhaust efficiency is not as fast as the speed of smoke generation.
Under tremendous psychological pressure, coupled with sudden changes in the status of the aircraft, there may be manipulation errors or unresponsive situations.But apart from the initial uncontrollable attitude changes of this aircraft, the aircraft became quite stable in the subsequent period.
Xu Cang turned his head sideways and looked forward along the aisle, and found that the front and rear cabins seemed to be fairly quiet, with no apparent confusion.
While engine explosions are rare, so far the situation appears to have stabilized.Moreover, it is not too long before the plane takes off, and the return journey will not take too long.
In this era, many airports have not yet been built or are not open, and there are actually not so many options for air route alternates. There are even fewer airports with relatively good runways like Qizhou, so it is unfortunate to be able to return in a relatively short period of time. Fortunately.Then listen carefully to the sound of the No. [-] engine, it is finally normal.
However, Xu Cang can't trust his ears too much. Many time failures happen in an instant, so it's impossible to say for sure.
Just as Xu Cang was assessing the situation, he only felt a soft body in his arms move slightly, and then Xu Cang realized that he was still holding the purser.
After reacting, Xu Cang noticed that because he was too nervous just now, his right hand was around the purser's waist, and he exerted so much force that the purser's body was tightly attached to Xu Cang.
"Brother, are you alright?" The moment Xu Cang came to his senses, a voice that seemed to turn Bailian Steel into soft fingers echoed in his ears.
Xu Cang hurriedly said, "Huh? Oh, it's all right."
So, he immediately let go of the right hand that was embracing the purser.Rather, at this moment, the originally tense body of the purser suddenly softened, as if made of the smoothest water.
After Xu Cang let go of his right arm, he thought that the purser would stand up on his own, but after waiting for two or three seconds, he found that the purser was still sitting in his arms, and the place where his body touched seemed to be getting warmer and warmer, as if Xu Cang is not holding a body in his arms, but a flame that is about to ignite.
After waiting for a long time, Xu Cang wanted to pat the purser, but he still paid attention, and raised his hand to pat the purser's shoulder: "Is there any problem?"
"Ah? No!" The purser stood up immediately after Xu Cang asked, and hurriedly ran to the front cabin workshop without even turning his head.
Xu Cang touched his head: "What?"
At this time, in the cockpit, shortly after the No. [-] engine exploded, a large amount of ECAM consultation information appeared, and Wu Taiming felt dizzy when he saw it.
As the power source of the entire aircraft, the damage of any engine will cause a lot of failure chains, such as electricity, hydraulic pressure, and flight control.
First thing to do, though, is the engine fire warning light that comes on!
The engine fire caused by the explosion needs to be dealt with urgently, and the rest of the situation can be postponed for a while, so it is necessary to distinguish between the primary and secondary.
However, Shi Qi didn't completely focus on the fire alarm of the No. [-] engine, but ordered Wu Taiming before doing anything: "Start the APU!"
Wu Taiming was a little dizzy just now from the shock of the huge explosion, until he heard Shi Qi's calm words, he calmed down a little, oh, and immediately went to start the APU.
Although the aircraft has automatic power switching, the power of the APU should be connected to the system as soon as possible in the follow-up to ensure that the aircraft is always under the supply of two AC power sources.
Moreover, the simple action of starting the APU is not complicated and will not delay a lot of time.
In the event of an engine explosion, the initial drastic change in the state of the aircraft had caused the autopilot to be disengaged.Shi Qi did not turn on the autopilot after correcting the state of the plane, but manually took over the control of the plane. If it was just a problem with one engine, it could still be handled by Shi Qi.
After Wu Taiming finished starting the APU, Shi Qi directly put the thrust handle of No. [-] engine to the idle car, and then signaled Wu Taiming: "The main switch of No. [-] engine is closed."
This procedure is somewhat different from Boeing's fire alarm procedure, where this action should be replaced by cutting the engine starter handle on the corresponding side.
However, in a sense, Airbus's main engine switch and Boeing's starter handle have a lot of overlapping functions, so in fact, in essence, this step can also be considered the same.
At this time, Wu Taiming was already extremely nervous, but he still followed Shi Qi's guidance by instinct, quickly located the main switch of No. [-] engine, and then turned it off.
While controlling the state of the plane, Shi Qi paid attention to Wu Taiming's movements.After confirming that Wu Taiming had turned off the main switch of the No. [-] engine, he hardly stopped, and then gave an instruction: "Press the No. [-] engine fire alarm button."
The engine fire alarm button usually has a transparent cover on it to prevent the crew from accidentally touching it.Under normal circumstances, this button is pressed, as long as it is pressed again, the button will be pressed out.Thereafter, the audible fire warning disappears and the light remains on until the fire is extinguished and power is no longer supplied to the FADEC of the corresponding engine.
The function of this button is somewhat similar to Boeing's pull-out fire extinguishing handle, which can also pre-position the fire bottle explosion cap, close the fuel low-pressure valve, close the hydraulic system fire cut-off switch and engine bleed valve, component flow control valve and disconnect IDG.
Its essence is to isolate the engine in question from the entire aircraft system, that is, power off, oil off, and hydraulic pressure off.
Afterwards, after the engine fire alarm button pops up, the two fire extinguishing agent buttons are activated, which belongs to the ready state.Shi Qi told Wu Taiming to press the fire extinguishing agent 1 button after ten seconds had elapsed.
The ten second wait is to allow N1 to drop low enough to reduce engine nacelle ventilation.Otherwise, if the airflow in the nacelle is too rough, some of the fire extinguishing agent may be blown away, which greatly reduces the fire extinguishing effect.
After 30 seconds, after observing that the fire alarm signal of the engine has not been extinguished, the button of fire extinguishing agent 2 is also pressed.
"Wait for a while, and then execute the shutdown procedure." Shi Qi licked his chapped lips, and in this case, don't think about restarting the engine.In the future, we can still wait for the effect of the fire extinguishing system. Before executing the shutdown procedure, Wu Taiming still needs to do one more thing.
Shi Qi glanced at the fire alarm panel and sighed: "Announce MAYDAY, let's go back to Qizhou and apply for radar guidance."
At this moment, at the operation and control center of Shandong Airlines, the phone of the safety duty seat suddenly rang. The safety duty manager who had been leisurely picked up the phone and asked, "What's the matter?"
A man's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, this is the Operation Control Center of the National University Headquarters. We have monitored the key system alarm of the 1241 aircraft. You can learn about the relevant information."
"1241?" The safety manager immediately took his feet off the table: "Can you know what the fault is?"
NUS Express apologized: "Now our monitoring system can't tell what's going on, and you need to understand it yourself."
"Okay, got it." After finishing speaking, the security manager hung up the phone.
The safety manager is actually not familiar with the aircraft number 1241, because this is the number of the Airbus planes that China National Airlines forced to give to Shandong Airlines.
One thing that Airbus has done well is that the linkage of the information system is very good.After a certain aircraft has a problem, the operation control of the airline to which it belongs can receive relevant alarms.However, the alarm is already the limit, and if you can subdivide which system has a fault, then don't even think about it, it has not reached such an advanced level.
However, since those Airbus planes have only come to Shandong Airlines not long ago and have not been connected to Shandong Airlines' operation control system, the responsibility for safety monitoring is still the responsibility of the original airline's National University Aviation Operation Control Center.
The safety manager thought for a while, and shouted at the staff at the front desk: "Can you check what flight 1241 is currently flying?"
The staff in front flicked around on the computer, and quickly turned around to answer the safety manager: "Now it should be the section from Qizhou to Hanjing. The flight number is 9451. It didn't take long before it took off."
"If it wasn't long after takeoff, it should still be within the border of the Qizhou Regional Control." The safety manager scratched his chin, and immediately picked up the phone to call the Qizhou Regional Control Office.
The call was connected soon, and the safety manager immediately said, "Hi, this is the Operation Control Center of Shandong Airlines."
The person on the other side heard that it belonged to Shandong Airlines, and their attitude was very good. After all, in the border of Qizhou, Shandong Airlines is quite generous to the control units and has a good reputation.
"What's the matter, is there a problem?"
Hearing the relaxed tone of the people in the control room, the safety manager was relieved at first. It seems that the problem is not too big, otherwise the control room would have exploded first.However, he still said quickly: "That's right. We have monitored a problem with a plane here. The flight number is 9451, and the aircraft number is 1241. Qizhou is flying to Hanjing. This plane didn't leave the Qizhou area, right?"
"Wait a minute!" The person in the control room said, and after about half a minute, the person in the control room spoke again: "I haven't left the area yet! It's the plane that broke down, but we haven't received any information yet." crew report"
Now, the safety manager is a little more relaxed: "Hello, can you please contact the crew? Ask about the specific situation. I'll wait for your call here."
"This, no problem!" The people in the control room were very cheerful.
However, just when the safety manager was about to hang up the phone after thanking him, he heard a burst of noise from the other end of the phone. 9451 is linked to the emergency code. I will take care of the plane first, and I will contact you later.”
The safety manager wanted to say a few more words, but as soon as the words reached his lips, there was a beeping sound of hanging up on the phone.
The security manager was stunned for a moment, and then snapped the receiver on the phone, wanting to curse.The guy in the control room was still saying it was okay one second, and the next second the plane hung up the emergency code, which was really bad luck.
After thinking for a while, the safety manager patted the subordinate in front and told him to keep an eye on the phone of the Qizhou regional control room, and then hurried upstairs to the office of the general manager of the flight department.
Since Shandong Airlines was established more than a year ago, this is the first time that the emergency code has been hung up.
The office of the general manager of the flight department is on the upper floor of the operation and control center. The safety manager did not take the elevator, but climbed the stairs directly.When he opened the door of the office of the general manager of the flight department panting, he was just about to explain the situation, but his words were swallowed back.
I saw another woman in the office of the general manager of the flight department, and it turned out to be Shi Lingling who was collecting report materials in the Shandong Airlines building these days.A few days ago, the mission center planned to do a special report on Shandong Airlines, and Shi Lingling was the person in charge.During this period of time, she has interviewed many leaders of Shandong Airlines, and now it seems that it is the turn of the general manager of the flight department.
Under such an embarrassing scene, the security manager was a little embarrassed.It is a bit of a face to be able to go to the publicity materials of the mission center. It seems that it is not good to interrupt the interview with the general manager of the flight department.
The general manager of the flight department could see it, but he was not annoyed. He waved to the safety manager and motioned him to come in: "What's the matter, what happened?"
The safety manager glanced at Shi Lingling, who was sitting opposite the general manager of the flight department, hesitant to speak, he didn't know whether he should tell the emergency in the presence of the bureau representative.
Seeing the awkward appearance of the safety manager, the general manager of the flight department guessed a lot.He had no intention of hiding it. Anyway, he had to submit a detailed report to the bureau after the incident. Now that the representative of the bureau is here, it may save trouble.
This is the confidence of Shandong Airlines, which believes that even with the presence of representatives from the bureau, it can handle special situations in an orderly manner without leaving any flaws.
"Tell me, what's going on?" said the general manager of the flight department.
Now that the boss has spoken, the safety manager has no worries, and immediately said, "Flight 9451 has an emergency code just now."
The general manager of the flight department was taken aback. Even though he had some mental preparations, he still didn't expect to need to hang the emergency code, so he couldn't help but get a little nervous: "What's wrong, do you understand?"
"I don't know yet." The security manager said, "I've asked Qizhou control to ask."
Just as the general manager of the flight department and the safety manager were asking and answering questions, Shi Lingling, who had been silent all this time, suddenly let out a light snort: "Did you mean flight 9451 just now? It was flying to Hanjing, right?"
The safety manager nodded: "Yes, Miss Shi, how do you know?"
Shi Lingling's face suddenly changed: "My dad is on top!"
In the cockpit of Flight 9451, an old man with white beard and hair was sitting on the observer seat that was originally empty. He turned out to be Teacher Wang Baotian who had gone to see Xu Cang before.
This time he was one of the 23 meritorious pilots who went to Hanjing to sue.The explosion just now really alarmed them. Since it was closely related to his own life, Wang Baotian was elected as a representative to enter the cockpit to understand the current situation.
Wang Baotian was born in Boeing and has never flown an Airbus plane.In his eyes, this Airbus aircraft is really like a book from heaven, because the first Airbus 320 in China was introduced by Sichuan Airlines five years ago, and it is barely a new product.
However, Wang Baotian didn't plan to fly by himself, he just wanted to see the specific situation of the plane and the crew's assessment attitude towards the special situation.
At this moment, the plane had already started to turn back to Qizhou Airport. Before Wang Baotian entered the cockpit, Shi Qi and Wu Taiming had already completed the shutdown procedure, which meant that the plane had to land with a single engine.
Wang Baotian looked around at the various instruments, but he didn't ask one by one what was the reason for those warning lights.He still knows not to intervene in areas he doesn't understand, and talking too much by himself will affect the work rhythm of Shi Qi present here.
At this time, the cockpit is relatively harmonious.Due to the emergence of a single engine, after returning to Qizhou, there are many flight data that need to be changed, such as cruising altitude and speed, alternate fuel and so on.
Wu Taiming was in charge of most of these tasks, while Shi Qi was mainly in charge of making decisions and at the same time controlling the status of the aircraft.
After waiting for a while, Shi Qi tried to connect some autopilots again, but still didn't connect, which made Shi Qi a little strange.
"Is it because the autopilot can't connect?" Seeing that Shi Qi had tried to press a certain button for the third time, Wang Baotian probably had a guess in his heart.
Shi Qi didn't hide anything: "Yeah! But it's also very strange. Reasonably, if there is a problem with one engine, it won't prevent the automatic driving from being connected."
This is still understandable for Wang Baotian, and it is actually a concept with Boeing.In the case of a single engine, the autothrottle may not be very easy to use, but the autopilot can still be connected, which can greatly reduce the pilot's control pressure so that more energy can be allocated to the fault itself.
"That's really strange, is it because of the hydraulic pressure?" Wang Baotian guessed.
Shi Qi also didn't understand what was going on, so he simply ignored it: "Forget it, if you can't pick it up, don't pick it up, just fly by yourself."
"En." Wang Baotian nodded. The clearance and airflow environment of Qizhou Airport are relatively good, unlike some plateau and high plateau airports in the southwest or northwest.Not to mention those places with single engines, even with twin engines, some captains can’t fly here, that’s fatal.
After waiting for a while, Wang Baotian asked, "Can the plane land?"
This problem was also the main reason why Wang Baotian came in. He didn't want to hear what Shi Qi said, he just wanted an attitude.Shi Qi's technical level can be seen in the task book of the plus crew, a C-category instructor, which is already the ceiling of the pilot's technical level.The company inspectors behind, bureau inspectors, etc., are not technical grades, but just positions.
Reasonably speaking, at Qizhou Airport, if there are no special circumstances, a class C instructor should be able to land the plane.However, he needs Shi Qi to say it himself.
When this question was asked, even Wu Taiming, who was re-entering the flight data, pricked up his ears and listened carefully.
Shi Qi was full of confidence: "If this is the case, then it should be no problem to fall."
Shi Qi spoke responsibly and did not ramble.So far, he can still control the state of the plane, but if there are any strange failures in the future, he can't guarantee that he will be able to deal with them.
"Okay, as long as I have your words!" Wang Baotian didn't ask too many questions. Now that Shi Qi is the Airbus captain on the whole plane, they can only choose to trust Shi Qi.
At the same time, the flight crew who received the cockpit information had already started to get busy.On the one hand, they need to appease the passengers, and on the other hand, they have to prepare for the return flight to Qizhou.According to the information provided by the cockpit, it is estimated that the plane will land in more than 20 minutes, and the time is still relatively tight.
When the flight crew was busy, Xu Cang grabbed the chief flight attendant who was passing by, and asked in a low voice: "Did the cockpit say anything else when you contacted the front?"
For some reason, when the purser saw Xu Cang, his face turned red, and he lowered his head and replied, "Brother, you didn't say anything earlier, just give us an estimated landing time."
"You didn't even say you planned to evacuate?"
The purser shook his head: "I didn't say that!"
"Well, go get busy!" Xu Cang clicked his tongue, and after the purser left, he said to himself: "It seems that the problem is not too big."
However, there is one thing that Xu Cang is very concerned about, that is, he just realized that the flight number 9451 of this flight is a bit strange.Tell him that the cursed flight 1549, which is said to be mortal, is the flight number reversed?
Although Xu Cang didn't care about ghosts and gods, he even encountered rebirth, and this situation still made him very hard to let go.If there is really some connection between the two, even Xu Cang will feel the pressure doubled.
No, there should be a feeling of death!
The reason why flight 1549 is called an unsolvable cursed flight is not for nothing.Xu Cang has participated in several simulations, but he has never succeeded, let alone only one chance in the actual flight.
"I hope I'm worrying too much!" Xu Cang prayed.
