Return to 2000: Captain of the Great Powers

Chapter 18 The Doomed Air Crash

The captain was visibly stunned.When Xu Cang proposed to let him control, deep down in his heart, he was somewhat relieved.The single-shot landing under the strong crosswind put too much pressure on him.What's worse, this is what he has to face.

"Are you the captain or a teacher? I heard from my family that your boarding pass is from Blue Sky Airlines." The captain did not answer Xu Cang's question clearly, but asking this is equivalent to seriously considering what Xu Cang said. The feasibility of the statement.

The flight crew's boarding pass contained information about the airline they belonged to. The staff at the check-in counter informed the company, and Feiyu Airlines asked the captain for advice.With the consent of the captain, Xu Cang was allowed to board the plane.

At least it is certain that Xu Cang is a genuine pilot, but the specific level is unknown.However, in view of Xu Cang's calmness and calmness before, he deliberately classified Xu Cang as a captain or above.

It’s not that the captain’s mental ability is too strong. The external temperament of the co-pilot, captain, and teachers, especially the old teachers, is quite different, and civil aviation personnel with a little experience can tell the difference.

The error in the captain's judgment of Xu Cang is also excusable. Who would have thought that there was another soul hidden in Xu Cang?
Xu Cang was silent for a moment, and finally gave an indistinct answer: "Uh, sort of."

The captain nodded, but didn't say anything else, but called the cabin with a dull head, explaining the situation of the plane and the decision to return.

The ridiculous thing is that the cabin crew didn't even know that an engine had been turned off until the captain informed the cabin that the engine was turned off and the plane was about to return.

The flight attendants sat in the front and rear workrooms during takeoff, and it is understandable that they did not hear the engine clearly.But the front part of the cabin, especially the passengers on the right side who are next to the engine, didn't feel it at all, which is really amazing.

However, this is also a good thing.If the passengers know that an engine has stalled, they will feel some panic in seven or eight out of ten, and it will take some effort to calm them down.

Under the instructions of the captain, the purser revealed that the plane had a "minor" failure and needed to return, and the specific reason is not going to be announced.

The unexpectedly smooth process of appeasing the passengers in the cabin saved the crew a lot of worry. After handling everything, they just waited for the airport's ground support to be in place.

After about eight or nine minutes, the airport tower notified the crew that it was time to join the approach, at the same time gave radar guidance, and began to descend the altitude.

"I'll try it first, and if it doesn't work, let's talk." The captain lowered his head and said this sentence in a low voice.As he spoke, he wiped his face with a small towel, and gave an order to the co-pilot: "Check the altitude, check the speed, flap one!"

Xu Cang understood what the captain meant, he kept loosening and clenching his hands, restraining his restlessness, perhaps it would be his turn to play soon.

At this moment, there is an independent apron near the end of runway 23 at the airport below, which is a dedicated apron for business jets.In this era, domestic business jets are still quite rare.There are only a few business jets parked on the huge independent apron, one of which is a white-painted Gulfstream GIV business jet, which is an ultra-long-range business jet capable of intercontinental voyages.

The door of the front cabin of this Gulfstream business jet leaned against the passenger elevator, and some staff members below were making necessary preparations, and it seemed that it was about to take off.

More than a dozen people can be carried in the business jet cabin.However, the cabin was empty at the moment, only a beautiful woman was flipping through a magazine boredly inside.If Xu Cang were here, he would definitely be able to tell that this woman was the representative of Spring and Autumn Tourism, and she might be Qin Xin, his future wife.

Qin Xin quickly flipped through the last page of the magazine in her hand, and immediately threw it on the small table in front of her. Holding her forehead, she spoke impatiently: "Can't you leave?"

The secretary who was with Qin Xin before immediately ran over from the front cabin, bent over and approached Qin Xin: "Miss, the cockpit said that the airport will not allow you to leave, you need to wait."

"Don't let me go, what's the matter?" Qin Xin raised her eyebrows, "Is the weather in Yangcheng bad?"

This time, her return to her hometown in Yangcheng is a specially approved temporary route. Reasonably, there should be no delay in time. The more reasonable explanation can only be the weather problem.

"It's not a weather problem. It seems that there is something wrong with the airport. Now the planes on the ground are not allowed to take off, and they are all waiting."

Qin Xin became more interested: "What's the problem?"

The secretary's slender jade finger pointed upwards: "In the sky, there is an engine of an airplane in the sky that has stalled. We have to wait for that airplane to land first."

"The engine is off?" Even if Qin Xin had enough concentration, he couldn't help being slightly surprised.

This is no small matter!Although Spring and Autumn Tourism is not involved in the aviation industry, she often deals with airlines, and she can be regarded as half an insider.In this situation, it is estimated that the airport has entered a state of emergency, and it is normal to prevent them from taking off.

"Since we are not allowed to take off, the plane is probably about to land, so let's wait." Qin Xin looked out at the sky through the porthole, as if searching for something.
