Return to 2000: Captain of the Great Powers

Chapter 2 A Blockbuster

"There are more than 1000 questions in the oral test syllabus, how can you be sure that they are not included?" Wang Qiang laughed.

Xu Cang shook his head resolutely: "The oral test syllabus has a total of 320, [-] and four questions. I read them all last night. There is absolutely no such question. I can be sure."

The corners of Wang Qiang's mouth twitched a few times: "You mean to read all the syllabus of the oral exam in one night?"

"No!" Xu Cang said flatly: "It's not the oral test outline, but the standard operation manual, the crew operation manual, the crew training manual, the operation manual, the quick checklist, and the oral exam outline have all been read."

Xu Cang's memory is astonishing, and he has regained the learning and memory accumulated in the past. As confirmed by each other, he went through a pile of flight manuals at a frightening speed in one night.

He couldn't afford to miss anything in this assessment check.

Xu Cang's extremely arrogant words made Wang Qiang and the first co-pilot next to him fall silent, especially Wang Qiang smiled angrily: "Do you know how many these manuals are? I read them all in one night. Don't you think Is it ridiculous to say something like that?"

Facing Teacher Wang Qiang who was getting a little angry, Xu Cang said a number without changing his expression: "789."

Wang Qiang was taken aback: "What did you say?"

"I mean, of course I know how many these manuals are." Xu Cang was as calm as a pool of water without ups and downs: "The crew manual has the most content, with a total of 789 pages. Next is the crew training manual, 622 pages, and then the quick checklist , p. 372."

Like a precision machine, Xu Cang reported the number of pages in each flight manual.Wang Qiang and the first co-pilot looked at each other, it was the first time they had heard about the number of pages in the manual.

Immediately, the first co-pilot went to the flight box to take out a manual with a white cover, which was a crew manual.He directly turned to the last page, and when he saw the page number of the last page, he looked at Xu Cang in surprise.

Really 789 pages!
He only brought a crew manual with him, but he didn't bring the rest of the manuals, so he couldn't verify whether what Xu Cang said was correct.But seeing Xu Cang's determined look, he probably wasn't talking nonsense.

Seeing the expression of the first co-pilot, Wang Qiang knew that what Xu Cang said was true, but he was only slightly surprised, this kind of trick was nothing.

"It's very rare to read the pages in the manual." Wang Qiang smiled with a feeling of flesh and blood being separated, revealing stiffness everywhere.

It's not that it's rare to read the manual and remember the page number, but Wang Qiang has never seen it before.

"The instructor thinks I read it wholeheartedly?" Xu Cang's face was slightly displeased: "The high-frequency question just now is not included in the syllabus of the oral examination, so naturally it is not included in the scope of this airline inspection. However, if If the teacher asked me purely as a private person and not as an inspector, I can probably answer."

Wang Qiang's eyelids twitched: "You really know?"

Xu Cang was right about some things, for example, this question was indeed not included in the oral test syllabus, because it was purely a whim that Wang Qiang asked.

"On page 231 of the crew manual, there is a description in the content of the communication system in the restricted section, which is 29.489 and 29.490MHZ." Xu Cang seemed rather helpless: "However, teacher, there are several ways to write this kind of problem What's the difference, is it really okay to ask?"

HF 29.489 and 29.490MHZ cannot be used for the same reason as VHF 120.00MHZ cannot be used, because these frequencies will have some adverse effects on aircraft equipment, such as oil pressure gauges and flight management computers.

However, the VHF 120.00MHZ is not available and maybe some pilots know about it.High-frequency communication has not been the main communication method of the 737 for a long time. Many pilots estimate that they may not use high-frequency communication once in a year or two. How would they know the forbidden frequency of high-frequency?
Wang Qiang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled wryly: "It's really a boring question. Forget it, you've passed the oral test, go call a car, we're entering the venue."

When Xu Cang went to the vehicle dispatcher to inquire about the approaching vehicles, the first co-pilot approached Wang Qiang secretly: "Teacher, what he said is right? Why don't I know?"

Wang Qiang sighed: "Of course you don't know, let alone you, some captains probably don't know. He really failed three proficiency inspections, or is there something hidden?"

Wang Qiang is an inspector, and he still knows some inside information about the inspection.In the proficiency inspection, if the inspector is determined not to let the inspected person pass, there are still many ways.

Could it be that this kid offended the company's inspectors who are skilled in inspections, or was annoyed by some leader, and instructed the inspectors to do something wrong?

The first co-pilot scratched his head: "Teacher, I don't know about that."

"Let's see how he flies later. If he flies well, there may be something strange in it." Just from the content of the interview just now, Wang Qiang's impression of Xu Cang is very good, and he started to feel sorry for Xu Cang. .

There was no words all the way, and the whole process of entering the arena presented a strange silence.

Xu Cang was imagining a better life in the future, and Wang Qiang was thinking about how to get justice for Xu Cang if he was really targeted for non-technical problems, while the first co-pilot was just fishing for fish and his mind was empty.

The flight crew did not speak, so the crew behind did not dare to relax too much. The group of eight basically did not speak, and they seemed very stiff.

After getting under the plane, Xu Cang took the seat for this flight, and he went up to prepare the cockpit, while Wang Qiang did the round-the-plane inspection, and the first co-pilot was in charge of refueling.

When Wang Qiang went to the cockpit after completing the check around the plane, he found that Xu Cang was already lying leisurely on the seat in a daze.

After putting away the flight case, pulling out the seat and sitting down, Wang Qiang scanned the panel: "Ready?"

Xu Cang pointed upwards to the rear roof: "Well, after the inertial navigation calibration is completed, I will test the TCAS again."

"So fast?" Wang Qiang was a little surprised when Xu Cang prepared the cockpit.

Cockpit preparation is an essential skill for every pilot.The old co-pilots can basically complete it smoothly, because they have formed their own preparation process and will not make mistakes or omissions.However, the new co-pilot has yet to find his own rhythm.Faced with a large number of switches, buttons, and keys in the cockpit, it is easy to get yourself dizzy.Don't talk about increasing the speed, thank God if you can complete it.

Wang Qiang took off his reflective vest and quickly scanned the panel. There seemed to be no obvious mistakes. Then he checked the CDU. All kinds of data had been entered, including the arrival and departure procedures of the takeoff and landing airports. There are no errors.

When novice pilots face airports with two or even three runways, they are often confused about which runway to take off and land on.Even if you understand the runway for takeoff and landing, there are often multiple entry and departure directions for one runway, and which program to choose is also a checkpoint.

However, Xu Cang's runway and choice of entry and exit are very precise.Not only that, but the weight data, cost index and speed limit he pre-entered showed Xu Cang's sophistication.
