Return to 2000: Captain of the Great Powers

In the VIP lounge of Jianchuan Airport, Xu Cang, Mo Shangyun and Tan Heling gathered to rest on one side, while the other people on the plane sat on the other side.

Because the 9951n incident happened so quickly, it took only 10 minutes from takeoff to landing, so the Jianchuan Supervision Bureau didn't have time to send people over.

Although this incident seemed extremely dangerous, miraculously, after evacuating from the plane, it was found that no one was injured, so there was no need to go to the hospital.

With such a big incident, someone from the Supervision Bureau will definitely come over, followed by the Southwest Administration Bureau, and maybe someone from the General Administration will come later.

For Mo Shangyun and Tan Heling, the bureau's arrival was always a bit of pressure.However, for Xu Cang, he was already a regular visitor to the bureau, and he was very familiar with it, so there was no pressure at all.

Of course, compared to the investigation pressure brought by the Bureau, Mo Shangyun and Tan Heling still have more time to think about what happened on the plane afterwards.

In fact, from take-off to wiping the tail of the plane to the rear tail explosion and finally to the first landing, during this period of time, although the situation is relatively critical, it is generally still controllable.

However, from the first go-around to the second landing, what was experienced in just three to four minutes was something that many pilots would never encounter in their lifetime.

First, the plane was pitched and stuck at the position of the maximum attitude, but Xu Cang saved the plane by making a sharp turn and lowering the flight.But all this is far from over, the existence of FOD on the runway and the aircraft going on and off the taxiway A are all factors that can ruin the entire aircraft at any time.

However, Xu Cang is like a prophet, all actions are at the forefront.

Opposite Mo Shangyun, Xu Cang poured himself a cup of hot tea, and kept pointing his fingertips on the wall of the cup, as if to test the problem of the tea.

However, Mo Shangyun's eyes were vicious, he clearly saw Xu Cang's right hand on the table trembling slightly.

"Xu Cang, is your hand alright?" Mo Shangyun asked with concern.

He could tell that Xu Cang was really a scholar with no strength to restrain his hands, but the operation on the plane just now was not only extremely energy-consuming, but also a great test of physical strength.With Xu Cang's physique, it was really difficult for him to do those manipulations.

Xu Cang noticed that Mo Shangyun was looking at his hand, so he retracted his right hand embarrassingly, and put it on his knee, with a little shame: "I made the teacher laugh. After flying for a while, artificially recovering the hand feels a little awkward." Can't stop."

I'm in my 20s and I'm at the peak of my mental and physical strength, but I really don't have much strength in my hands, and it's really not something to brag about.

Just after Xu Cang put his hands on his knees, he could feel the muscles in his hands spasm unconsciously, which was a sign of loss of strength.

"Physical strength is easy to practice, but technique is not easy to practice. You have nothing to make me laugh." Mo Shangyun said seriously: "Shall we stay here? Why don't we go to the base?"

Xu Cang rolled his eyes: "There are too many people over there that annoy me, so I don't want to go. Anyway, the Supervision Bureau won't ask too many questions, and we should be able to leave soon."…

Mo Shangyun was puzzled: "How do you know that the Supervision Bureau won't ask many questions?"

Xu Cang grabbed a handful of nuts casually, with a very relaxed expression: "How can they ask too much about things they don't understand?"

"No." Mo Shangyun responded for a moment, but immediately understood Xu Cang's meaning, and said with emotion: "Yes, how can they understand such things as flying 737 upside down?"

Just like when the 747s2 was switched on and off before, Xu Cang flew the plane back blindly by mentally calculating the flight path.This miraculous method has gone beyond the comprehension of most bureau personnel, so the investigation of the s2 switch incident was very perfunctory in the end, and the investigation ended faster than everyone imagined.

Based on this inference, this incident is likely to be the same.Flying the 737 upside down, which has the guts to pierce the sky, is probably an incomprehensible part. This investigation is not easy to do.

However, when talking about flying the 737 upside down, Mo Shangyun suddenly remembered something: "Xu Cang, just now you said on the plane that someone had done this kind of maneuver. But since I got off the plane, I have been thinking about it. , I never thought there would be such a precedent. To be fair, if someone really succeeded in flying the 737 upside down, it should be regarded as a research case, and it is impossible to be unknown.”

Mo Shangyun is not the kind of old teacher who stops studying at an early age, he is still more keen to understand domestic and foreign civil aviation news.Cases such as flying the 737 upside down, no matter whether it is successful or not, must be recorded in the history of civil aviation.What's more, according to Xu Cang's intention, that person succeeded, how could this not be known?
Upon hearing this, Tan Heling, who was sitting next to him, also pricked up his ears.In fact, he was also thinking about this matter, but since what he did on the plane just now didn't seem to have any positive effect, he shut his mouth quite wisely and didn't speak.

But as soon as Mo Shangyun talked about the 737 flying upside down, Tan Heling's curiosity was aroused. He wanted to hear which fairy character did the unprecedented deed of flying the 737 upside down.

However, this question baffled Xu Cang. He couldn't say that the pilot who made the maneuver to fly the 737 upside down was probably still breastfeeding, right?
Mo Shangyun was careful, he could see Xu Cang was in a dilemma, raised his eyebrows, and coughed lightly: "Xu Cang, you must be talking nonsense, right?"

Xu Cang's complexion became thicker and thicker, and he took advantage of the slope to get off the donkey, and laughed: "Teacher, don't tell me if you see it!"

These words fell into Tan Heling's ears, the muscles at the corners of his mouth twitched several times, and he really wanted to give Xu Cang two punches right now, cooperating with Xu Cang really relied on his recklessness to gamble.

However, someone like Mo Shangyun, who is used to wind and rain, took a deep look at Xu Cang.

Xu Cang was furiously stared at by Mo Shangyun, and he smacked his lips guiltyly: "I said teacher, what kind of eyes do you have, it's so scary."

Mo Shangyun took a sip of tea with a half-smile and said nothing.

When Xu Cang was talking, there was a rush of footsteps at the door, and an old voice hurried in. Xu Cang looked at the door, and it turned out to be Si Weimin, the chairman of Muhua Airlines.

As soon as Si Weimin entered the lounge, he immediately located Si Linglong who was sitting in the corner, and hurried over, hugging Si Linglong, almost crying. …

It can be seen that Si Weimin regards this granddaughter as a treasure.However, this time Xu Cang suffered a disaster.After asking a few words, Si Weimin, who was relieved to find that his granddaughter was not injured, directly turned his attention to Xu Cang on the other side.

Leaning on crutches, Si Weimin walked quickly to Xu Cang's side, raised his crutches and slapped Xu Cang's back fiercely, making Xu Cang jump up from his seat like a monkey.

"Grandpa, isn't your granddaughter just sitting there, why are you hitting me, ouch." Xu Cang shouted while running away, but he didn't dare to fight back.This guy is getting old, if he fights back, something bad will happen, the people of Muhua Airlines will have to fight him hard?

Regardless of Si Weimin's age, his legs and feet are very agile, and Xu Cang is jumping up and down after chasing him.

"You still have the nerve to say that my Linglong just went out with you, and my life was almost confessed, and you still have the nerve to shirk responsibility with me?" Si Weimin yelled: "See if I won't break your hands and feet today. "

Xu Cang was chasing each other with Si Weimin in the lounge, but he was chased so impatiently that he shouted at Si Linglong who was watching the show, "Si Linglong, are you just watching?"

Si Linglong covered her mouth and smiled lightly, but she still stepped forward to hold Si Weimin who was angry.

Seeing that Si Weimin had finally rested, Xu Cang held his chest while leaning on the table and gasped for breath: "Master, let me tell you, the place here is small and I can't use it well. If I go outside to open , I disappeared as soon as I slipped away, trying to catch me, there is no way!"

Now, Si Weimin could see that Xu Cang's mouth was stronger than his flying skills.He just sneered and said, "I said little baby, compared to me, an old man in his 80s, you won't see much glory if you win."

Xu Cang just felt that his face was completely lost, and his soul was almost lost after being chased by such an old man. He wished he could find a crack in the ground and sneak in.

Indeed, Ferrari racing with a wheelchair won't make you lose face, on the contrary, it's quite a shame.

"I've been neglecting to exercise recently." Xu Cang was still trying to make up for himself.

"You can pull it down. It's better not to talk. Be careful not to catch your breath." Seeing Xu Cang in such a mess, Si Weimin really laughed angrily. He pulled Si Linglong over and patted his granddaughter's hand: "Linglong Ah, we still don’t want this son-in-law, because he’s not as strong as you.”

After hearing this, Xu Cang almost fainted from anger.

But Si Linglong stomped her feet severely: "Grandpa, let me make it clear to you. I have nothing to do with him. I just want to find a place where I can realize my value. Can you stop thinking about it?"

"Muhua, the National University can't realize your value, so go to realize your value with him?" Si Weimin sneered: "I heard that the conditions in his Erhai base are very difficult, can you bear it?"

"How will you know if you don't try?" Si Linglong said firmly.

Si Weimin's head suddenly became dizzy: "Linglong, he only has one plane, and he can't fly now. If you follow him again, where will you realize your value?"

It can be seen that Si Weimin has conducted a serious investigation of Xu Cang, and almost found out the details of Xu Cang. 1566 is the only plane in Xu Cang Aviation Base today, this plane can't fly now, so isn't Xu Cang's aviation base going out of business? …

However, as soon as Si Weimin said this, he turned around and found that Xu Cang had approached him at some point, and looked at Si Weimin innocently: "Old man, since you know how pitiful I am, can you Tell me about the leased plane?"

"What are you talking about, I don't know what you're talking about!" Si Weimin snorted coldly.

Xu Cang grinned: "Of course it is to lease the plane to us as soon as possible. We do not have any planes, so we will point to the plane that you have leased. Didn't we all agree?"

"Okay, it's a procedure. I can't leave it to you tomorrow."

"Follow the matter urgently. If you always keep an eye on it yourself, the procedures will definitely go through quickly." Xu Cang is still persuading: "As for the bureau, I will greet you well."

Si Weimin looked at Xu Cang up and down: "Can you still establish a good relationship with the bureau?"

Aircraft leasing needs to be prepared at the bureau. Si Weimin can manage the procedures at Muhua Airlines, but the bureau may not be able to manage the procedures.

However, Si Weimin quickly figured it out: "Oh, it's the master of your deputy bureau, it's really useful."

It's not a violation of discipline to shorten the aircraft leasing process as soon as possible, and it's not a big deal to ask my master for a favor.

"Yes, yes, so as long as the old man is willing, then we can get things done quickly."

At this moment, Si Linglong began to shake Si Weimin's arm, and finally shook Si Weimin very helplessly: "Girl, if you shake it like this again, your hand will have to be shaken off by you. Oh, okay, okay , I will personally intervene in a while, and help you handle the matter as quickly as possible. However, I have agreed in advance that you will manage the bureau yourself, and I will not intervene."

Xu Cang hurriedly said: "I know, I know, the bureau will not bother the old man."

At this moment, a person came in at the door, Xu Cang made a little distinction, he was still an acquaintance, it was the Director of Aviation Safety of Jianchuan Supervision Bureau, Xu Cang remembered that he had the same surname as himself.

As soon as Director Xu came in, he saw Xu Cang and Si Weimin. He knew Si Weimin, so he greeted Si Weimin first: "Why is the old man here?"

Si Weimin pointed at Xu Cang: "You are here to look for him, so I won't bother you."

After finishing speaking, Si Weimin took Si Linglong to another place, leaving only Director Xu and Xu Cang.

"It is said that the chairman of Muhua Airlines has a weird temper, and he seems to be right." Director Xu looked at Xu Cang, saw Mo Shangyun and Tan Heling sitting not far away, and said with a smile: "You three People are the crew?"

"No, to be precise, the two of them are the crew, and I'm the passenger." Xu Cang corrected: "It's just that I got started this time."

Not far away, Mo Shangyun and Tan Heling didn't recognize Director Xu's identity at first, but seeing him talking to Xu Cang, they kept an eye out, and soon found the work card hanging on Director Xu's chest, Immediately reacting, he was ready to come and speak.

However, Director Xu raised his hand to stop the two of them: "Sit over there, I have something to say to Xu Cang alone."...

Mo Shangyun and Tan Heling didn't know why, but they followed Director Xu's wishes and returned to their original positions.

Director Xu glanced at Mo Shangyun and Tan Heling, and quickly closed his eyes again, with a slightly embarrassed look on his face: "Xu Cang, you are really going to give us problems. Fly 737 backwards, how do you think we should investigate?" ?”

"It's how you do it." Xu Cang smiled and said: "Of course, it's similar to the 747s2 switch last time, and that's the best."

Director Xu was dumbfounded: "Just as perfunctory as last time?"

Xu Cang's eyes lit up: "Is it possible?"

Xu Cang was not worried about the investigation, but was annoyed that the investigation was too complicated and would waste a lot of his time.Now he has a lot of things to do, how can he have the time to cooperate with the bureau's investigation all day long?
Director Xu restrained his smile, neither agreed nor refused.Of course, not expressing one's position is equivalent to expressing one's position in many cases.

Seeing this, Xu Cang still knew the truth of accepting as soon as he was offered, he quickly changed the subject and asked, "Director Xu, I just want to ask you something."

While talking, Xu Cang pulled Director Hangan to a corner, looking mysterious.

This also aroused a little interest from the Director of Air Safety: "What's the matter, it's so mysterious."

"Director, it's like this. I plan to register an airline by myself, and the territory is in Erhai Lake. However, I remember that there is no supervision bureau in Erhai Lake. Is the supervision bureau here in Jianchuan responsible for the initial review?" Xu Cang asked : "Also, what materials do you need to register as an airline company?"

Xu Cang is good at technology, but he doesn't know much about establishing an airline company.Now I just caught a professional, why don't I ask?

"Do you want to register as an airline company?" Director Xu is a good person, and he can answer Xu Cang's questions: "It is true that there is no supervision bureau in Erhai Lake, but it is not accepted by us. After you prepare the materials, go to the Southwest Administration Bureau to apply. , After the Southwest Administration Bureau passes the initial review, it will be publicized for 20 days. As long as there is no problem with the publicity, it will be reported to the General Administration, which will complete the final approval. "

"It's the regional administration that came for the preliminary review. I thought it was the regional regulatory bureau that did the preliminary review." Xu Cang slapped his head, thinking that he had found the right person. Based on the principle of using people to the end, he continued to ask: "The materials, I will prepare those materials."

Director Xu was amused by these words: "If you want to set up an airline company, you have to do all the registration matters yourself. But I can't remember the specifics. You can refer to the General Administration's Order No. 39. There is a list of registered airline companies. But Xu Cang, airline companies have quotas, and if you don’t get a quota in advance, you won’t be able to pass the preliminary review by the Regional Administration.”

"Yes, yes, then there must be." Xu Cang responded casually, and secretly recorded the information of the General Administration's No. 39 Order. In fact, he has never heard of what the No. 138 Order is. Anyway, he will consult it later. But, it's not a big deal.

"You already have an airline company?" Director Xu was stunned: "I remember that the number of airline companies in Southwest China is already full this year. Haven't you heard that there is a company in Erhai?"

Xu Cang laughed aloud, he was not very willing to tell about the fact that he occupied the Muhua Aviation Jianchuan base: "Oh, I just got it anyway."...

Director Xu is also a human being, so it's better not to ask such private secrets, so he changed the subject: "Xu Cang, how many planes do you have now?"

"Um..." Xu Cang looked at the 1566 parked on the airport apron in the distance, with the fuselage tilted, and said with a little embarrassment on his face, "Let's fly one by one."

"One?" Director Xu clicked his tongue, "If it's one, then things will be difficult."

Originally, Xu Cang thought Director Xu was just asking casually, but unexpectedly, he found an omission in the question, and his heart tightened: "How should I say it?"

"What do you say, Xu Cang, one of the conditions for establishing an airline company is to have at least three aircrafts. You haven't even met the minimum standard. Even if you have an airline company, it's not easy for you."

"Ah!" Xu Cang's mind went blank: "There really are such rules."

Before, he often heard the saying that foreign countries start with an airplane, so he instinctively believed that an airplane can also establish an airline company.

But it seems that there are differences in the approval methods for the establishment of airline companies at home and abroad.

"Doesn't the General Administration have the "Basic Conditions for Approval of Air Transport Enterprises and Detailed Rules for Undertaking Procedures"? You can just read it. By the way, this is Order No. 39, and all the qualifications required are listed in it. Let's take a look at some time." Director Xu said: "However, I heard that the General Administration seems to be discussing to update the rules. However, no matter how it is changed, the bottom line of the three planes will not change."

Xu Cang was silent for a moment: "Can the three planes be leased or purchased?"

"Yes, the bureau doesn't care whether it is rented or bought, as long as there are three." Director Xu nodded: "Xu Cang, I think you should take a good look at the details, I think you seem a little Ideas don’t match reality.”

"En." Xu Cang agreed very seriously.If it wasn't for Director Xu's reminder this time, there would definitely be a big joke later on.

However, it is better to know now that it is late than to find out after everything is ready.If there are three planes, there are still two gaps.

However, if all goes well, the 737-900 plane that Li Rongcheng promised will arrive in two or three months, so there is only one plane left.

Where is this plane supposed to come from?

Thinking about it, Xu Cang was a little distracted, but he was awakened by the phone ringing. He took out the phone and saw that it was Li Rongcheng's number.

"Sorry, I'm going to answer the phone."

Director Xu nodded: "Go ahead, come back after answering the phone, I still have some routine questions to ask."

"Okay, no problem." Xu Cang hurriedly left the lounge, waited outside, and immediately connected the phone.

As soon as the phone was connected, Li Rongcheng's voice quickly came from the other side: "Xu Cang, what you asked me to inquire about has some clues. You said that there is no problem with the control input of the plane, but the speed of the plane's actual head-up rate is far behind. Is it much higher than the artificial input? I consulted the technical department, and the answer they gave was that there may be some logic errors in the elevator sensory centering device. The signal generated by the steering wheel is controlled by the elevator sensory centering device. It is enlarged. Their advice to me is not to fly that plane again for the time being. If it is convenient, I can contact the technicians from the Boeing factory in the neighboring country to come and have a look.”…

Li Rongcheng said a lot, and felt a little problem while talking, so he asked: "Xu Cang, are you listening to me?"

"Yes, I'm listening." Xu Cang said calmly: "What else, finished?"

"It's over, anyway, just don't fly that plane, it's very dangerous."

Xu Cang smiled and said, "But what should I do if I'm already flying?"

"Ah?" Li Rongcheng was startled: "Is there any problem?"

Xu Cang smiled even more presumptuously: "Is there any problem, if there is a problem, I can't answer your call now."

"That's good." Li Rongcheng said, "Xu Cang, I will arrange for Boeing's technicians to come over as soon as possible."

However, Li Rongcheng was rejected by Xu Cang halfway through his speech: "No need, it's not so necessary."

"It's not necessary, what do you mean?" Li Rongcheng was a little confused: "Then the plane has been dealt with?"

Xu Cang hissed: "It's about the same. Sixty to seventy percent of it is scrapped. I don't think there is any need for maintenance. Remove some useful and valuable aviation materials, and the rest can be sold as scrap iron."

The person on the phone fell into a long silence, and finally Li Rongcheng had infinite doubts: "Xu Cang, what are you talking about?"

"What the hell am I talking about? I almost told you just now that it's that broken plane." Xu Cang immediately started yelling: "I said, what kind of shitty plane is your Boeing? According to your maintenance procedures, you can't find the feeling of the elevator. There is a problem with the centering device. The structural strength of the tail is as strong as that of a paper lake, and a lot of parts can fall off one after another. Is your plane built by saving?"

Although Xu Cang didn't elaborate, Li Rongcheng seemed to understand a little bit: "Xu Cang, that plane had an accident, because the elevator felt the centering device?"

Xu Cang didn't want to swear anymore at this time, to be honest, this matter had nothing to do with Li Rongcheng, he only wanted to know one question now.

"I said Li Rongcheng, like this kind of flight accident caused by the defect of your aircraft's own components, you Boeing will lose money for this kind of loss?"

When this 1566 had an accident, it was still under the Erhai base's wet lease period, and the losses were all caused by the Erhai base, and it had nothing to do with Blue Sky Airlines.If Boeing doesn't admit it, it will be a huge loss, Xu Cang can't accept it at all.

Li Rongcheng didn't answer immediately, but asked a question: "Very serious?"

"I almost died young, do you think it's serious?" Xu Cang said angrily, "Don't talk to me about it. Boeing will pay for it or not."

"If it turns out that it is really caused by the error of the elevator sensor centering device, and your maintenance procedures are correct, then you should be able to compensate."

Hearing this, Xu Cang suppressed his anger a little: "How much will you pay?"

"It's the loss of the plane. It needs to be evaluated later."

"Then what about the mental damage costs of our aircraft crew, a series of expenses such as subsequent flight cancellations caused by the scrapping of the aircraft, and the damage to the image of our company base, don't these count?" Xu Canghen He said with hatred: "It's all because of your elevator's sensory centering device. If something goes wrong, you can't find it out according to your procedures, so you can't bear full responsibility?"...

Li Rongcheng was a little helpless: "Xu Cang, let me tell you this. It's not that I care about Boeing, but that the civil aviation industry recognizes an acceptable failure rate. You can't bring up the infinite failure rate just because of a black swan incident. The claim for compensation will not be upheld."

The so-called acceptable failure rate is a default rule derived from objective reality.Even if the safety is guaranteed in the process, it will definitely not be [-]% safe.

But as long as it is not concentrated and a large number of problems occur, the existence of certain cases does not mean that the aircraft manufacturer has huge technological problems.Therefore, even if there is a problem, its liability for compensation is limited.

And like the previous emergency landing in Qizhou, there was a problem with the short fuel supply pipe of the cfm56 engine, and the same problem also existed in the same batch of engines later, so this is not a case of black swan, but it does exist Defects in workmanship.

Therefore, Shandong Airlines can file more compensation claims against Airbus.

But Xu Cang's case is different, the elevator feels that the high probability of the centering device is just an extreme case, a very low probability of failure that cannot be eliminated by manpower.

For the compensation in this case, Boeing should only be limited to its aircraft itself, and the resulting extended compensation tasks are not what Boeing needs to undertake.

Although it has not been confirmed yet, from the bottom of his heart, Xu Cang actually thinks that this incident is just an isolated case.But this doesn't mean that Xu Cang is about to swallow his breath.

I almost have to confess my life, why don't I take this opportunity to squeeze Boeing's wool again?
"It's true that you can't get unlimited compensation for individual problems, but if there are defects in the handling procedures, isn't it a general problem?" Xu Cang said.

Li Rongcheng was taken aback: "Xu Cang, what do you mean, our operating procedures are flawed, isn't it possible?"

"What's impossible?" Xu Cang snorted, "There is a problem with your procedure for wiping the tail of the plane, which directly leads to the deterioration of the follow-up special situation. This is your inescapable responsibility!"
