Return to 2000: Captain of the Great Powers
Chapter 219 Behind the scenes!
In the cockpit, time passed in a flash, and he had already reached the fifth edge of the Los Angeles Airport and passed the final approach positioning point.
In the past four hours, Xu Cangzhen relied on the main electric trim to always control the pitch of the aircraft.Even in the terminal area, where the control even had requirements on the descent rate, Xu Cang was able to meet the control's requirements quite accurately, and the precision of his maneuvering directly stunned Chao Ning and the co-pilot.
The crew did not change shifts for the last four hours.However, Chao Ning asked the co-pilot to notify the other captain, but the captain said he had no objection and followed Xu Cang's instructions.
It can only be said that the new captain of Muhua Airlines is a little too obedient. He is really doing his role as a tool man and will not express any opinions of his own.
For Xu Cang, this kind of cooperative person is naturally the best.However, for other ordinary pilots, this kind of captain is actually not very responsible.
However, Xu Cang was not bored enough to care about other people, anyway, the runway was close at hand, and in a few minutes, his tormenting journey would be over.
At a height of [-] feet, the tower had already given permission to land. Xu Cang didn't even put his left hand on the thrust handle, but lay on the steering wheel with his chin resting on the middle of the steering wheel. His right hand was directly hanging down. Holding it up, my right hand is really sore.
Naturally, the left hand replaced the right hand. Xu Cang's left hand passed through his chin, crossed and grasped the steering wheel armrest on the right, and adjusted the main electric trim with his left index finger very casually.
Seeing Xu Cang's state of extreme laxity, not even caring about the thrust handle, the corners of Chao Ning's eyes twitched a few times.He could understand Xu Cang's state. After all, he had been flying manually for more than four hours, and no one could stand it.But after all, it is about to land, so we should be more cautious, how can it be so casual?
However, Chao Ning did not raise any opinions, because even though Xu Cang used such an awkward maneuver, the plane remained on the standard glideslope very neatly, without the slightest deviation.
Five hundred feet high!
Xu Cang yawned, and caught a glimpse of Chao Ning beside him out of the corner of his eye: "You put the accelerator on. Although I think it's impossible, if something unexpected happens and you have to go around, I'm afraid your left hand won't be able to catch up. If you want to go around, you can It’s not difficult to be responsible for adding the gas pedal, right?”
It's not difficult to just add the accelerator, Chao Ning nodded smoothly: "Is it time to listen to your password when going around?"
Xu Cang withdrew his gaze: "Yes. If there is nothing wrong, listen to my password and turn off the accelerator for me."
When Chao Ning heard this, it was clear that Xu Cang really didn't want to move his right hand, and he wanted to keep this position to finish the landing.
However, Chao Ning still complied.
"Don't I need to step up the accelerator before landing?"
This method of moving the throttle is a common method of pitch jamming and landing, that is, on the eve of touchdown, the throttle is sharply increased, and under the sudden increase in thrust, the nose of the aircraft will naturally tilt up to establish a grounding attitude. After that, the throttle was quickly withdrawn, most of which were directly closed, and then waited for the plane to fall by itself.
This kind of landing method usually has a relatively large ground load, because after all, there is no process of establishing a softer attitude and reducing sinking.
However, under special circumstances, a heavier landing is only a trade-off.As long as it is not too exaggerated, neither the company nor the bureau will cause trouble.
However, Xu Cang just shook his head slightly for this tacit and conventional approach: "No, let's land normally."
Chao Ning didn't quite understand: "Is that still a one-shot? Do you want me to watch the plane sink and cooperate with the throttle?"
If it lands normally, then the establishment of the aircraft attitude and the accelerator need to cooperate together, otherwise how can it be called a normal landing?
"No, if I give the password to close the throttle, just close it."
Xu Cang even straightened up, and glanced slightly out of the windshield: "That's the decision. You only have two actions, go-around with full throttle, or landing with full throttle, don't have your own ideas."
The corner of Chao Ning's mouth twitched, Xu Cang really regarded himself as a tool man without self-awareness.However, to be honest, it is still difficult for him to pitch and block the landing.
Even in the simulator, the landing has always been relatively good, but it is a simulator, and there is no psychological pressure, how can it be the same as the actual flight?If Chao Ning is really allowed to land the plane alone now, Chao Ning will be under a lot of pressure.
Although from the bottom of his heart, Chao Ning felt that Xu Cang didn't take pitch jamming too seriously, but in view of Xu Cang's miraculous deeds before, he still felt that it was more reliable to trust Xu Cang.
Therefore, Chao Ning no longer has any objections, and is only responsible for being his own tool.
At an altitude of [-] feet, the aircraft entered the visual phase below the decision altitude.However, Xu Cang did not raise his head, but still drooped his head, looking at the PFD in the cockpit.
Until the radio altimeter reported fifty feet, Xu Cang finally looked outside.Normally at this time, you can try to bring the stick a little bit to establish the landing attitude.
However, the height of [-] feet is still a bit high, even if you start to establish a posture, you should not move too much, just tentatively.If everything is normal, the attitude of the aircraft can be officially increased by a relatively large amount at about thirty feet.
However, whether you carry more or less, you are increasing the attitude of the aircraft, so as to gradually reduce the descent of the aircraft, remove the energy of the aircraft, and prepare for the touchdown.
But Xu Cang did the opposite. At fifty feet, he even moved forward a little to balance.This action directly made Chao Ning look stupid. How could he go forward to balance when he was about to land?Everyone is reducing the sinking, isn't this speeding up the sinking if you adjust the balance forward, how can this land?
Could it be that Xu Cang had been flying for four hours and was so tired that he was already delirious?
As soon as this thought appeared, it was impossible to contain it, and it was true that this possibility did not exist, after all, this operation was really against common sense.
"Should I take over the manipulation?" Chao Ning thought to himself.
However, I don't know if Xu Cang has the ability to read minds. The moment Chao Ning's thoughts arose, Xu Cang's lazy voice sounded: "Don't be distracted."
Chao Ning was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed suddenly.This did not come from Xu Cang's words, but because the plane descended to a radio altitude close to [-] feet, and the accelerated sinking of the plane he expected did not appear.
At a height of thirty feet, the ground effect is already very obvious for the Boeing 737, which has a wingspan much larger than that of the 777, and it has to be said that the Boeing 777 is the latest model after all, so the aerodynamic layout must be better than that of the old aircraft such as the 737. The model is better, which can be seen in the approach speed.
The approach speed of an aircraft as large as the Boeing 777 is actually not much larger than that of the Boeing 737. This shows that the two have advantages and disadvantages in terms of aerodynamic layout.
However, it is not that Boeing does not have the ability to upgrade in the field of narrow-body aircraft such as the 737. Everything is based on interests.Change the layout of the 737, that is, more than 20 billion U.S. dollars of research and development investment will be invested, and the 737 can be used to drag it. Who would dislike saving less than 20 billion U.S. dollars in capital investment?
It is precisely because of the world-leading aerodynamic capability of the Boeing 777, coupled with the increasingly obvious ground effect.In the meantime, after Xu Cang moved forward to trim, the plane seemed to be lifted by something, and there was no particularly obvious sinking at all.
Moreover, because Xu Cang was holding the accelerator.To be reasonable, at this moment, the throttle should be lowered a bit. After all, Xu Cang's entry height, energy, etc. are all fine.If the throttle is closed late, the accumulated energy of the aircraft will not only be unable to be removed, but will also increase, which will easily cause the aircraft to always hold the ground, otherwise it will not be able to get off.
It is for this reason that Xu Cang needs to be trimmed a little forward at a low altitude, otherwise the plane will not only be unable to descend at an ultra-low altitude, but may even float upwards.
But, the reason why Xu Cang wanted to do this was to put the plane into a state of high energy, so that he could operate the throttle later.
When landing normally, the throttle should be released softly and consistently when the aircraft is out of attitude, which is a process.However, due to the pitch jamming, it is not easy for the aircraft to take out the attitude smoothly. This has nothing to do with the technology, but because of the difference in the way the pitch trim and the elevator work. Xu Cang didn't think about using his own technology. To smooth out this difference, so I thought about changing the method.
Previously, Xu Cang told Chao Ning that he had to stop the accelerator when he landed.Under normal circumstances, this way of closing the throttle is used when the energy is too high, and then hold the stick and touch the ground with a relatively small attitude.
For a skilled pilot, this is generally not the case. Only when the visibility is poor will he deliberately choose this method of going down with a large amount of energy against the plane.why?Because when the visibility is poor, the pilot needs to be ready to go around at any time.
At a slightly higher altitude, it doesn't matter.But in a low-altitude environment, a more extreme problem must be considered, that is, a zero-altitude go-around.
Don't look at the 737 manual stating that this aircraft has the ability to go around at zero altitude, but it doesn't mean that go-around at zero altitude is an operation that can be accepted casually.In any airline, any flight instructor is very cautious about go-around at zero altitude, because it involves extremely acute issues such as go-around after touchdown and tail strike.
The problem with the zero-altitude go-around is that the thrust increase of the turbofan engine has a lag, that is, the throttle is added, but it takes a certain amount of time for the engine thrust to be added.This leads to the fact that at ultra-low altitudes, if the pilot decides to go around, even if he presses the accelerator, it will take a short while for the engine to really push up, which will cause the aircraft to continuously lose altitude.
This altitude is usually [-] to [-] feet. For the aircraft that is about to land, this loss of altitude will easily make the aircraft touch down first, and the amount of the go-around belt is too large, and it is easy to rub the tail of the aircraft, which is quite dangerous.
Therefore, in such a situation where visibility is low and a go-around at low altitude is possible at any time, the pilot will deliberately keep the aircraft with an excessive amount of energy.In this way, if there is a go-around, since the aircraft itself has enough energy and strength, even if the thrust is a little delayed, it will not drop much altitude, which reduces some of the dangers brought about by ultra-low altitude go-arounds.
Of course, this method of pushing down the pole will also cause some problems. The most common one is that for pilots who are not skilled in the technique, it is extremely easy to cause a long distance of flat float.On some runways with a distance of more than 4000 meters, it is not a big deal to drift far away. At worst, you will be issued a hard warning of long flat drift distance and be reprimanded by the quality center.
But if it is floating like this on a short runway, there will be a big problem.
So ah, flying is a thing that has something to give up, and it depends on a lot of hard work, and it can't be faked for a moment.
Others purposely made the plane more powerful in order to create a good energy state for the go-around, but Xu Cang did it because the throttle would only be closed in one go, so this is like making dumplings for a plate of vinegar.Although it's a bit of putting the cart before the horse, it doesn't hurt, as long as nothing goes wrong.
Sure enough, Xu Cang pressed the accelerator and pushed the nose of the plane down, and the speed of the plane started to increase all of a sudden.However, this process can't last for too long, of course, Xu Cang didn't intend to let this state of excess energy last for too long.
At about thirty feet, Xu Cang started to play back and forth to balance, non-stop.However, since the pitch trimming stroke is much smaller than the direct control of the elevator, the pitching input in the world is not that big despite the whirling of the trim wheel.
Not long after the trim wheel turned back, at a height of about twenty feet, Xu Cang suddenly ordered: "Shut up!"
Chao Ning didn't hesitate, and turned off the accelerator all at once.At the moment Xu Cang was on the accelerator, he paused to trim, and when the sound of the engine had obviously subsided, Xu Cang started to adjust the trim again.Since then, Xu Cang's main electric trim has not stopped.
Due to the high energy of the aircraft before, closing the throttle will not cause the aircraft to release its power quickly, but the attitude of the aircraft will gradually increase under the action of pitch trim.After Xiaopiao for three or four seconds, Xu Cang felt that the posture was almost out from the visual point of view, so the trimming stopped.
Miraculously, at the moment when the trim wheel finished turning, the landing gear of the aircraft just landed on the runway.
As soon as the plane landed, Xu Cang let go of the steering wheel immediately, and spread his left hand towards Chao Ningping: "Hand over the controls!"
Where did Chao Ning dare to relax, he immediately took over the controls, pushed back, and used all the speedbrakes.
Xu Cang leaned back, put his right hand on his knee, trembling slightly.The right hand in front has been playing trim for nearly four hours, and his hand is numb.I thought that the Boeing 777's transoceanic flight would be easy and comfortable, but I didn't know it was so hard.
However, no matter how you say it, it landed safely, and there were no problems during the period.After gliding to a far plane, Chao Ning asked impatiently with all the engines: "I feel that I can imitate the normal leveling process. At [-] feet, I should be able to cooperate with the trimming." top balance."
"Cooperate with what?"
"Bring the stick back softly and consistently. Isn't the trim just right to meet this requirement? I'm also the captain, and I can see that the throttle is sinking, and the value of the throttle can be corrected."
Xu Cang shook his right hand and said casually: "Recall, did you really lead the stick softly and consistently when you landed? Have you ever pulled the stick? I have too. Many people say this is a bad habit, but this Does it mean that the landing in the actual flight will not be soft and consistent at all? Even in a calm wind environment, how many times the aircraft can maintain the same sinking? We need to use the elevator to control the sinking of the aircraft, but Some people's movements are rough and violent, so they have the phenomenon of pulling the lever."
"The elevator responds very quickly, can the pitch trim be done? Can it be done so finely? No. Then reduce the amount of control it has, and only have continuous input for the last twenty or thirty feet. You know, why would I Do you choose to land with great energy?" Xu Cang asked back.
Chao Ning could still see it clearly: "You just let me close the gas pedal in one go, then I can only go down with a lot of energy."
"Have you ever thought that the travel speed of pitch trim is much lower than that of the elevator. So, when I start trimming back from thirty feet to the landing, the actual pitch input is not large, which means the touchdown attitude It will be relatively small. What kind of aircraft state can you touch down with a small attitude?" Xu Cang smiled and said: "However, this is not difficult, and you can do it if you think about it, right?"
Chao Ning was thoughtful, but he didn't expect that there was also the consideration of the small pitch and trim input. He didn't think of this joint at all. It can only be said that in terms of realm, the gap between him and Xu Cang is a bit big .
Regardless of the so-called mysterious and mysterious realm, just in terms of technology, Xu Cang can fly the plane as if there is no problem just by using the pitch and trim. On the other hand, the levels of the two are not the same.
"It's really a gap in all aspects." Chao Ning sighed.
At this time, Xu Cang had already unbuckled his seat belt.The passenger ladder car on the apron is approaching the plane, and the shuttle bus is also ready.Xu Cang had slept for a long time, so he shouldn't be sleepy anymore, but the last four hours were really exhausting, and once his nerves relaxed, he felt sleepy again.
Suddenly, Xu Cang asked: "Does your Muhua have a backup crew in Los Angeles?"
"Yes! Because this flight is overnight, in order to prevent some unexpected situations, there is a spare crew in the overnight hotel, what's the matter?" Chao Ning asked strangely.
"What's the matter, of course I contacted you, Muhua, to change people on the flight back. Why, do you still want to fly back?"
Chao Ning was taken aback: "Feifei go back, what's wrong?"
"What's the matter?" Xu Cang patted the steering wheel: "Just as this didn't happen? For the sake of the company's interests, why didn't you report to the control, but anyway, we violated the regulations, and from your perspective If there is a potential safety hazard, then you have to accept the investigation according to the procedure. Why, let alone the control, now you have to hide it from the company and the bureau?"
It is true that the interests of the company have been safeguarded, but it is also true that concealment and non-reporting should be punished.After all, in the eyes of ordinary pilots, what Xu Cang did was a potential safety hazard. Of course, Xu Cang didn't think there was any danger, but there was no decisive significance for Xu Cang.
"Then in the end, we still have to be punished." The co-pilot was speechless: "Then why should we hide it?"
Chao Ning's mind is still turning quickly: "If we report to the control, this matter will easily leak out and be out of control. However, if we report to the company and the bureau, it is an internal incident, which is resolved internally, and the scope of influence is much smaller. , there is still a big difference. But”
Xu Cang pulled the seat back: "Just what? Don't worry, Muhua will protect you. Even if you have to accept punishment from the bureau in the end, your company will compensate you elsewhere if you want to come. Don't you understand?"
In a sense, if this crew is punished by the bureau, it will be a protection for the company.Although some unscrupulous companies will take it for granted even if their employees block the knife, Muhua Airlines still has a bottom line. At least from the consideration of comprehensive interests, the final compensation for this crew should be greater than the punishment loss.
In any case, an airline is a commercial organization, and interests are placed in a very important position.As long as you understand this, everything is actually very simple.
"It's really all right?" Chao Ning was still a little uncertain.
Xu Cang waved his hand: "I think Mu Hua still belongs to the type who wants to show some face?"
The co-pilot sitting in the back seemed to have eaten a fly, and choked out a sentence for a long time: "It's hard to say!"
Xu Cang was stunned: "Huh?"
Chao Ning also looked worried: "Our company has some face, but... not much."
There is face, but not much!What a painful realization.
"You really are." Xu Cang pointed to the panel: "Is it really good to say that? CVR is recording it."
Upon hearing this, Chao Ning and the co-pilot turned pale.Seeing Xu Cang was overjoyed, he laughed loudly: "Don't worry, it's fine."
At this moment, the cockpit door was suddenly knocked twice. The co-pilot opened the monitor in the front cabin workshop and found that the maintenance was at the door, so he opened the door.The maintenance staff rushed in, first to find out where the captain was, and then said anxiously to Chao Ning: "Captain, I found a lot of ice in the gap between the elevators, did you have any problems with the control when you were flying just now?"
"Uh..." Chao Ning hesitated for a while, but in the end he didn't lie, and said truthfully: "It seems to be stuck in the elevation, but there are no other problems."
"The control is stuck!?" The maintenance scalp felt numb.
This maintenance is Muhua's station maintenance, and he feels very nervous when he encounters such a big problem.It is not a trivial matter to encounter control jams during the flight. Not only will it be reported to the company, but also to the bureau. Moreover, if the report is late, it will be punished.
The maintenance staff was puzzled: "I haven't received a notification here either."
Generally speaking, if a problem is found during the flight, the crew will respond to the control, and the control will notify the maintenance in advance so that the maintenance can be prepared.But no one notified him in advance, which is rather strange.
Mentioning this, Chao Ning's expression was a little unnatural, and he coughed twice: "That. We didn't report to the control."
"Didn't report to the control?" The maintenance's expression froze suddenly: "Such a big incident happened, and you didn't report to the control, so you just flew back?"
"Yeah, I flew back just like that." Xu Cang smiled: "It's not a big problem, won't it land safely? After carefully checking the condition of the plane, just report the truth."
The maintenance staff looked at Xu Cang who was not wearing a pilot's uniform, and couldn't figure out the situation for a moment.Chao Ning saw the confusion of the maintenance staff, and explained: "He is still the supervisor of this flight. You just listen to him and report the truth. Apart from the ice accumulating between the elevators, are there any other problems?"
The maintenance staff shook his head: "That's not true. It seems that there is something wrong with the route you came here. I heard that many planes on that route reported serious ice accumulation, and several of them have diverted to Anchorage. .”
"That's because of the weather." Hearing this, Chao Ning breathed a sigh of relief.If this is a problem with the Boeing 777 itself, the subsequent transoceanic flight pressure will be more troublesome.It now appears that it was simply an environmental factor.
Chao Ning waved his hand: "Okay, go get busy. We will also report to the company here."
Since the flight crew will also report, the maintenance has no scruples, nodded, and went to work again.
After the maintenance went out, Xu Cang slumped on the seat: "I have to catch up on sleep when I get back to the hotel."
Chao Ning was also careful, when he saw Xu Cang's right hand resting on the steering wheel, he would unconsciously tremble intermittently.
About 10 minutes later, the cockpit door opened, and the purser leaned in: "It's over."
Xu Cang got up quickly, no matter what time it was, getting off work was always easy and pleasant.
Seeing Xu Cang's impatience, the co-pilot quickly put away the seat to make way for Xu Cang.
As soon as Xu Cang got out of the cockpit, he was about to go to the cabin to get his luggage. Just after passing the front cabin door, a deep male voice suddenly came from outside the cabin: "Mr. Xu!"
Xu Cang paused, looked outside the cabin, and found two medium-sized white men standing on the cabin door passenger elevator car, both of them were wearing black suits and sunglasses, looking like secret agents.Among them, a man who is slightly taller is half a body ahead, and seems to be the leader.
However, compared to his cool appearance, this man's Chinese accent is really unflattering, which completely destroyed his temperament and made him a bit nondescript.
Xu Cang tilted his head: "Looking for me?"
The man standing in front stepped forward again and nodded slightly: "I am a representative of Boeing headquarters. If Mr. Xu doesn't mind, I have some things to discuss with Mr. Xu."
"Don't mind? No, I don't mind." Xu Cang smiled, and rushed into the cabin regardless of Boeing's people.
The representative of the Boeing headquarters was stunned on the spot, and there is such a lack of face for Boeing?However, he only hesitated for a moment, and shouted at the people behind him: "You are right here."
So the Boeing headquarters representative went straight into the cabin.However, according to regulations, idlers are not allowed to enter the cabin, so the purser hurried over to stop them.
"Sir, I'm sorry, you can't go in!"
The representative of the Boeing headquarters directly took off his ID card and slapped it in the hands of the purser. Then, he passed the purser and went into the cabin to chase Xu Cang.
At this moment, Chao Ning just came out of the cockpit, saw a person who didn't look like a crew member going into the cabin, and saw the flight attendant looking at the certificate in his hand, and was curious for a moment: "What's wrong?"
The purser pointed to the representative of Boeing headquarters who entered the cabin, and showed the ID in his hand to Chao Ning: "It seems to be from Boeing."
Chao Ning came closer and saw that it was really Boeing's work ID: "What are the people from Boeing doing here?"
"Look for that Xu Cang, I don't know what's the matter."
"Looking for Xu Cang?" Chao Ning frowned, looking into the cabin.
At this time, the Boeing representative had already caught up with Xu Cang. When he was approaching Xu Cang, he hurriedly said, "Mr. Xu, we really have something very important."
"I know, otherwise you wouldn't come to the airport to block me." Xu Cang took his bag off the luggage rack: "However, whether it's important or not is for you, it has nothing to do with me."
Seeing Xu Cang’s reluctance, the Boeing representative was so anxious that he almost got angry: “Mr. Xu, it’s not a difficult task, let alone embarrassing you. Just one thing, 1566 FDR, we are willing to bid 1000 million US dollars. Our people have already discussed with the boss of your company, and she said that everything is up to you. Mr. Xu, buying an FDR of a scrapped aircraft for 1000 million US dollars is not a loss-making business, right? "
Xu Cang's action of taking the bag suddenly stopped, and after a moment of contemplation, he immediately figured out the relationship.
The most fatal research report that has caused Boeing to be in a difficult position today concerns the structural strength of the 737 airframe.Even if Boeing proves that the fuselage damage caused by the pressurization after wiping the tail is not directly related to the structural strength of the aircraft, it will not help.
If you want to get rid of the current predicament, you must first solve the source problem, otherwise everything will be in vain.Since the current contradiction lies in the structural strength of the 737's airframe, it is enough to prove that the 737's airframe is strong enough.
How to prove the structural strength of the fuselage of 737?
No matter how much data is listed, it is not as convincing as a shocking super maneuver. Recently, there happened to be such an event that can reflect the strength of the Boeing 737 fuselage, that is, the 1566 Jianchuan 737 flew upside down!
My large civilian airliner can still fly backwards, and it has not disintegrated in the air. Is this iron-like fact not much more powerful than some pale explanation?
However, just presenting this fact is not enough, not deep enough, not final enough.After all, Xu Cang flew the 737 upside down and there was no clear video evidence.Moreover, even if there are videos, the image processing technology in this era is quite developed, and a single video is not convincing enough.
Boeing has already contacted Jianchuan Airport, and retrieved the footage from the airport surveillance, but the picture quality is slightly worse.Therefore, Boeing still needs the flight data of 1566.They not only have to present the fact that the 737 is flying upside down, but also break it down and explain it in conjunction with the flight data, and strive to make this unprecedented upside down flight in the history of airliners into a textbook-like promotional material, so as to eliminate the outside world. Doubts about the structural strength of the Boeing 737 fuselage.
With the video and the flight data, the two correspond, and the outside world can't help but believe it.
Now that the video is done, the only thing missing is the flight data, and, compared to the video, the flight data is more important.It is for this reason that Boeing is willing to pay a high price of 1000 million US dollars for a flight data recorder.
In terms of price, Boeing is indeed quite sincere, but this does not mean that Xu Cang is about to agree.
"I heard that you have been suffering recently!?" Xu Cang asked suddenly.
The face of the Boeing headquarters representative was quite ugly: "There is a research report that is very unfavorable to us Boeing, including the safety incident of the aircraft number 1566 that Mr. Xu experienced before."
The representative of the Boeing headquarters stopped talking halfway through, which made Xu Cang laugh: "Are you doubting me?"
"No! To be honest, that research report is just a pretext. Someone deliberately messed with us in the future. That's the key." The representative of Boeing headquarters said coldly: "But, no matter what, we must solve the source to save ourselves. Xu Sir, we believe that you have nothing to do with this matter, and also believe that Mr. Xu, you are a good friend of our Boeing"
Having said that, the meaning of the representative of Boeing headquarters is already very clear.If Xu Cang is willing to help Boeing, then Xu Cang has nothing to do with the research report, and will be a good friend of Boeing, and this matter will be over.
But if Xu Cang is unwilling to help, then for Xu Cang who is not a good friend, it is necessary for Boing to pursue him.
It seems that Boeing is really pushed into a hurry and has already started to make threats.
In fact, from a rational point of view, Xu Cang should agree to Boeing.Not only can you get a lot of money, but you can also make Boeing owe yourself a favor, and at the same time get the promise of forgetting all things, all you have to do is pay for a flight data recorder of a scrapped aircraft.
However, Xu Cang fell into hesitation, he couldn't make this decision.
Seeing that Xu Cang was still hesitating, the representative of the Boeing headquarters said urgently, "Mr. Xu, what are you thinking about? You really want to be our enemy, isn't this an option?"
"You said that the research report was just a pretext, and the real reason was that there was a mastermind behind it?"
The representative of Boeing headquarters froze for a moment, a little impatiently: "What do you mean?"
"That man behind the scenes can rely on a report that is not fatal to you to make your Boeing so difficult, which shows how powerful the man behind the scene is. If I give you something, doesn't it mean that I broke that man's Good thing?" Xu Cang's eyes shone cautiously: "Then what if he targets me?"
In the past four hours, Xu Cangzhen relied on the main electric trim to always control the pitch of the aircraft.Even in the terminal area, where the control even had requirements on the descent rate, Xu Cang was able to meet the control's requirements quite accurately, and the precision of his maneuvering directly stunned Chao Ning and the co-pilot.
The crew did not change shifts for the last four hours.However, Chao Ning asked the co-pilot to notify the other captain, but the captain said he had no objection and followed Xu Cang's instructions.
It can only be said that the new captain of Muhua Airlines is a little too obedient. He is really doing his role as a tool man and will not express any opinions of his own.
For Xu Cang, this kind of cooperative person is naturally the best.However, for other ordinary pilots, this kind of captain is actually not very responsible.
However, Xu Cang was not bored enough to care about other people, anyway, the runway was close at hand, and in a few minutes, his tormenting journey would be over.
At a height of [-] feet, the tower had already given permission to land. Xu Cang didn't even put his left hand on the thrust handle, but lay on the steering wheel with his chin resting on the middle of the steering wheel. His right hand was directly hanging down. Holding it up, my right hand is really sore.
Naturally, the left hand replaced the right hand. Xu Cang's left hand passed through his chin, crossed and grasped the steering wheel armrest on the right, and adjusted the main electric trim with his left index finger very casually.
Seeing Xu Cang's state of extreme laxity, not even caring about the thrust handle, the corners of Chao Ning's eyes twitched a few times.He could understand Xu Cang's state. After all, he had been flying manually for more than four hours, and no one could stand it.But after all, it is about to land, so we should be more cautious, how can it be so casual?
However, Chao Ning did not raise any opinions, because even though Xu Cang used such an awkward maneuver, the plane remained on the standard glideslope very neatly, without the slightest deviation.
Five hundred feet high!
Xu Cang yawned, and caught a glimpse of Chao Ning beside him out of the corner of his eye: "You put the accelerator on. Although I think it's impossible, if something unexpected happens and you have to go around, I'm afraid your left hand won't be able to catch up. If you want to go around, you can It’s not difficult to be responsible for adding the gas pedal, right?”
It's not difficult to just add the accelerator, Chao Ning nodded smoothly: "Is it time to listen to your password when going around?"
Xu Cang withdrew his gaze: "Yes. If there is nothing wrong, listen to my password and turn off the accelerator for me."
When Chao Ning heard this, it was clear that Xu Cang really didn't want to move his right hand, and he wanted to keep this position to finish the landing.
However, Chao Ning still complied.
"Don't I need to step up the accelerator before landing?"
This method of moving the throttle is a common method of pitch jamming and landing, that is, on the eve of touchdown, the throttle is sharply increased, and under the sudden increase in thrust, the nose of the aircraft will naturally tilt up to establish a grounding attitude. After that, the throttle was quickly withdrawn, most of which were directly closed, and then waited for the plane to fall by itself.
This kind of landing method usually has a relatively large ground load, because after all, there is no process of establishing a softer attitude and reducing sinking.
However, under special circumstances, a heavier landing is only a trade-off.As long as it is not too exaggerated, neither the company nor the bureau will cause trouble.
However, Xu Cang just shook his head slightly for this tacit and conventional approach: "No, let's land normally."
Chao Ning didn't quite understand: "Is that still a one-shot? Do you want me to watch the plane sink and cooperate with the throttle?"
If it lands normally, then the establishment of the aircraft attitude and the accelerator need to cooperate together, otherwise how can it be called a normal landing?
"No, if I give the password to close the throttle, just close it."
Xu Cang even straightened up, and glanced slightly out of the windshield: "That's the decision. You only have two actions, go-around with full throttle, or landing with full throttle, don't have your own ideas."
The corner of Chao Ning's mouth twitched, Xu Cang really regarded himself as a tool man without self-awareness.However, to be honest, it is still difficult for him to pitch and block the landing.
Even in the simulator, the landing has always been relatively good, but it is a simulator, and there is no psychological pressure, how can it be the same as the actual flight?If Chao Ning is really allowed to land the plane alone now, Chao Ning will be under a lot of pressure.
Although from the bottom of his heart, Chao Ning felt that Xu Cang didn't take pitch jamming too seriously, but in view of Xu Cang's miraculous deeds before, he still felt that it was more reliable to trust Xu Cang.
Therefore, Chao Ning no longer has any objections, and is only responsible for being his own tool.
At an altitude of [-] feet, the aircraft entered the visual phase below the decision altitude.However, Xu Cang did not raise his head, but still drooped his head, looking at the PFD in the cockpit.
Until the radio altimeter reported fifty feet, Xu Cang finally looked outside.Normally at this time, you can try to bring the stick a little bit to establish the landing attitude.
However, the height of [-] feet is still a bit high, even if you start to establish a posture, you should not move too much, just tentatively.If everything is normal, the attitude of the aircraft can be officially increased by a relatively large amount at about thirty feet.
However, whether you carry more or less, you are increasing the attitude of the aircraft, so as to gradually reduce the descent of the aircraft, remove the energy of the aircraft, and prepare for the touchdown.
But Xu Cang did the opposite. At fifty feet, he even moved forward a little to balance.This action directly made Chao Ning look stupid. How could he go forward to balance when he was about to land?Everyone is reducing the sinking, isn't this speeding up the sinking if you adjust the balance forward, how can this land?
Could it be that Xu Cang had been flying for four hours and was so tired that he was already delirious?
As soon as this thought appeared, it was impossible to contain it, and it was true that this possibility did not exist, after all, this operation was really against common sense.
"Should I take over the manipulation?" Chao Ning thought to himself.
However, I don't know if Xu Cang has the ability to read minds. The moment Chao Ning's thoughts arose, Xu Cang's lazy voice sounded: "Don't be distracted."
Chao Ning was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed suddenly.This did not come from Xu Cang's words, but because the plane descended to a radio altitude close to [-] feet, and the accelerated sinking of the plane he expected did not appear.
At a height of thirty feet, the ground effect is already very obvious for the Boeing 737, which has a wingspan much larger than that of the 777, and it has to be said that the Boeing 777 is the latest model after all, so the aerodynamic layout must be better than that of the old aircraft such as the 737. The model is better, which can be seen in the approach speed.
The approach speed of an aircraft as large as the Boeing 777 is actually not much larger than that of the Boeing 737. This shows that the two have advantages and disadvantages in terms of aerodynamic layout.
However, it is not that Boeing does not have the ability to upgrade in the field of narrow-body aircraft such as the 737. Everything is based on interests.Change the layout of the 737, that is, more than 20 billion U.S. dollars of research and development investment will be invested, and the 737 can be used to drag it. Who would dislike saving less than 20 billion U.S. dollars in capital investment?
It is precisely because of the world-leading aerodynamic capability of the Boeing 777, coupled with the increasingly obvious ground effect.In the meantime, after Xu Cang moved forward to trim, the plane seemed to be lifted by something, and there was no particularly obvious sinking at all.
Moreover, because Xu Cang was holding the accelerator.To be reasonable, at this moment, the throttle should be lowered a bit. After all, Xu Cang's entry height, energy, etc. are all fine.If the throttle is closed late, the accumulated energy of the aircraft will not only be unable to be removed, but will also increase, which will easily cause the aircraft to always hold the ground, otherwise it will not be able to get off.
It is for this reason that Xu Cang needs to be trimmed a little forward at a low altitude, otherwise the plane will not only be unable to descend at an ultra-low altitude, but may even float upwards.
But, the reason why Xu Cang wanted to do this was to put the plane into a state of high energy, so that he could operate the throttle later.
When landing normally, the throttle should be released softly and consistently when the aircraft is out of attitude, which is a process.However, due to the pitch jamming, it is not easy for the aircraft to take out the attitude smoothly. This has nothing to do with the technology, but because of the difference in the way the pitch trim and the elevator work. Xu Cang didn't think about using his own technology. To smooth out this difference, so I thought about changing the method.
Previously, Xu Cang told Chao Ning that he had to stop the accelerator when he landed.Under normal circumstances, this way of closing the throttle is used when the energy is too high, and then hold the stick and touch the ground with a relatively small attitude.
For a skilled pilot, this is generally not the case. Only when the visibility is poor will he deliberately choose this method of going down with a large amount of energy against the plane.why?Because when the visibility is poor, the pilot needs to be ready to go around at any time.
At a slightly higher altitude, it doesn't matter.But in a low-altitude environment, a more extreme problem must be considered, that is, a zero-altitude go-around.
Don't look at the 737 manual stating that this aircraft has the ability to go around at zero altitude, but it doesn't mean that go-around at zero altitude is an operation that can be accepted casually.In any airline, any flight instructor is very cautious about go-around at zero altitude, because it involves extremely acute issues such as go-around after touchdown and tail strike.
The problem with the zero-altitude go-around is that the thrust increase of the turbofan engine has a lag, that is, the throttle is added, but it takes a certain amount of time for the engine thrust to be added.This leads to the fact that at ultra-low altitudes, if the pilot decides to go around, even if he presses the accelerator, it will take a short while for the engine to really push up, which will cause the aircraft to continuously lose altitude.
This altitude is usually [-] to [-] feet. For the aircraft that is about to land, this loss of altitude will easily make the aircraft touch down first, and the amount of the go-around belt is too large, and it is easy to rub the tail of the aircraft, which is quite dangerous.
Therefore, in such a situation where visibility is low and a go-around at low altitude is possible at any time, the pilot will deliberately keep the aircraft with an excessive amount of energy.In this way, if there is a go-around, since the aircraft itself has enough energy and strength, even if the thrust is a little delayed, it will not drop much altitude, which reduces some of the dangers brought about by ultra-low altitude go-arounds.
Of course, this method of pushing down the pole will also cause some problems. The most common one is that for pilots who are not skilled in the technique, it is extremely easy to cause a long distance of flat float.On some runways with a distance of more than 4000 meters, it is not a big deal to drift far away. At worst, you will be issued a hard warning of long flat drift distance and be reprimanded by the quality center.
But if it is floating like this on a short runway, there will be a big problem.
So ah, flying is a thing that has something to give up, and it depends on a lot of hard work, and it can't be faked for a moment.
Others purposely made the plane more powerful in order to create a good energy state for the go-around, but Xu Cang did it because the throttle would only be closed in one go, so this is like making dumplings for a plate of vinegar.Although it's a bit of putting the cart before the horse, it doesn't hurt, as long as nothing goes wrong.
Sure enough, Xu Cang pressed the accelerator and pushed the nose of the plane down, and the speed of the plane started to increase all of a sudden.However, this process can't last for too long, of course, Xu Cang didn't intend to let this state of excess energy last for too long.
At about thirty feet, Xu Cang started to play back and forth to balance, non-stop.However, since the pitch trimming stroke is much smaller than the direct control of the elevator, the pitching input in the world is not that big despite the whirling of the trim wheel.
Not long after the trim wheel turned back, at a height of about twenty feet, Xu Cang suddenly ordered: "Shut up!"
Chao Ning didn't hesitate, and turned off the accelerator all at once.At the moment Xu Cang was on the accelerator, he paused to trim, and when the sound of the engine had obviously subsided, Xu Cang started to adjust the trim again.Since then, Xu Cang's main electric trim has not stopped.
Due to the high energy of the aircraft before, closing the throttle will not cause the aircraft to release its power quickly, but the attitude of the aircraft will gradually increase under the action of pitch trim.After Xiaopiao for three or four seconds, Xu Cang felt that the posture was almost out from the visual point of view, so the trimming stopped.
Miraculously, at the moment when the trim wheel finished turning, the landing gear of the aircraft just landed on the runway.
As soon as the plane landed, Xu Cang let go of the steering wheel immediately, and spread his left hand towards Chao Ningping: "Hand over the controls!"
Where did Chao Ning dare to relax, he immediately took over the controls, pushed back, and used all the speedbrakes.
Xu Cang leaned back, put his right hand on his knee, trembling slightly.The right hand in front has been playing trim for nearly four hours, and his hand is numb.I thought that the Boeing 777's transoceanic flight would be easy and comfortable, but I didn't know it was so hard.
However, no matter how you say it, it landed safely, and there were no problems during the period.After gliding to a far plane, Chao Ning asked impatiently with all the engines: "I feel that I can imitate the normal leveling process. At [-] feet, I should be able to cooperate with the trimming." top balance."
"Cooperate with what?"
"Bring the stick back softly and consistently. Isn't the trim just right to meet this requirement? I'm also the captain, and I can see that the throttle is sinking, and the value of the throttle can be corrected."
Xu Cang shook his right hand and said casually: "Recall, did you really lead the stick softly and consistently when you landed? Have you ever pulled the stick? I have too. Many people say this is a bad habit, but this Does it mean that the landing in the actual flight will not be soft and consistent at all? Even in a calm wind environment, how many times the aircraft can maintain the same sinking? We need to use the elevator to control the sinking of the aircraft, but Some people's movements are rough and violent, so they have the phenomenon of pulling the lever."
"The elevator responds very quickly, can the pitch trim be done? Can it be done so finely? No. Then reduce the amount of control it has, and only have continuous input for the last twenty or thirty feet. You know, why would I Do you choose to land with great energy?" Xu Cang asked back.
Chao Ning could still see it clearly: "You just let me close the gas pedal in one go, then I can only go down with a lot of energy."
"Have you ever thought that the travel speed of pitch trim is much lower than that of the elevator. So, when I start trimming back from thirty feet to the landing, the actual pitch input is not large, which means the touchdown attitude It will be relatively small. What kind of aircraft state can you touch down with a small attitude?" Xu Cang smiled and said: "However, this is not difficult, and you can do it if you think about it, right?"
Chao Ning was thoughtful, but he didn't expect that there was also the consideration of the small pitch and trim input. He didn't think of this joint at all. It can only be said that in terms of realm, the gap between him and Xu Cang is a bit big .
Regardless of the so-called mysterious and mysterious realm, just in terms of technology, Xu Cang can fly the plane as if there is no problem just by using the pitch and trim. On the other hand, the levels of the two are not the same.
"It's really a gap in all aspects." Chao Ning sighed.
At this time, Xu Cang had already unbuckled his seat belt.The passenger ladder car on the apron is approaching the plane, and the shuttle bus is also ready.Xu Cang had slept for a long time, so he shouldn't be sleepy anymore, but the last four hours were really exhausting, and once his nerves relaxed, he felt sleepy again.
Suddenly, Xu Cang asked: "Does your Muhua have a backup crew in Los Angeles?"
"Yes! Because this flight is overnight, in order to prevent some unexpected situations, there is a spare crew in the overnight hotel, what's the matter?" Chao Ning asked strangely.
"What's the matter, of course I contacted you, Muhua, to change people on the flight back. Why, do you still want to fly back?"
Chao Ning was taken aback: "Feifei go back, what's wrong?"
"What's the matter?" Xu Cang patted the steering wheel: "Just as this didn't happen? For the sake of the company's interests, why didn't you report to the control, but anyway, we violated the regulations, and from your perspective If there is a potential safety hazard, then you have to accept the investigation according to the procedure. Why, let alone the control, now you have to hide it from the company and the bureau?"
It is true that the interests of the company have been safeguarded, but it is also true that concealment and non-reporting should be punished.After all, in the eyes of ordinary pilots, what Xu Cang did was a potential safety hazard. Of course, Xu Cang didn't think there was any danger, but there was no decisive significance for Xu Cang.
"Then in the end, we still have to be punished." The co-pilot was speechless: "Then why should we hide it?"
Chao Ning's mind is still turning quickly: "If we report to the control, this matter will easily leak out and be out of control. However, if we report to the company and the bureau, it is an internal incident, which is resolved internally, and the scope of influence is much smaller. , there is still a big difference. But”
Xu Cang pulled the seat back: "Just what? Don't worry, Muhua will protect you. Even if you have to accept punishment from the bureau in the end, your company will compensate you elsewhere if you want to come. Don't you understand?"
In a sense, if this crew is punished by the bureau, it will be a protection for the company.Although some unscrupulous companies will take it for granted even if their employees block the knife, Muhua Airlines still has a bottom line. At least from the consideration of comprehensive interests, the final compensation for this crew should be greater than the punishment loss.
In any case, an airline is a commercial organization, and interests are placed in a very important position.As long as you understand this, everything is actually very simple.
"It's really all right?" Chao Ning was still a little uncertain.
Xu Cang waved his hand: "I think Mu Hua still belongs to the type who wants to show some face?"
The co-pilot sitting in the back seemed to have eaten a fly, and choked out a sentence for a long time: "It's hard to say!"
Xu Cang was stunned: "Huh?"
Chao Ning also looked worried: "Our company has some face, but... not much."
There is face, but not much!What a painful realization.
"You really are." Xu Cang pointed to the panel: "Is it really good to say that? CVR is recording it."
Upon hearing this, Chao Ning and the co-pilot turned pale.Seeing Xu Cang was overjoyed, he laughed loudly: "Don't worry, it's fine."
At this moment, the cockpit door was suddenly knocked twice. The co-pilot opened the monitor in the front cabin workshop and found that the maintenance was at the door, so he opened the door.The maintenance staff rushed in, first to find out where the captain was, and then said anxiously to Chao Ning: "Captain, I found a lot of ice in the gap between the elevators, did you have any problems with the control when you were flying just now?"
"Uh..." Chao Ning hesitated for a while, but in the end he didn't lie, and said truthfully: "It seems to be stuck in the elevation, but there are no other problems."
"The control is stuck!?" The maintenance scalp felt numb.
This maintenance is Muhua's station maintenance, and he feels very nervous when he encounters such a big problem.It is not a trivial matter to encounter control jams during the flight. Not only will it be reported to the company, but also to the bureau. Moreover, if the report is late, it will be punished.
The maintenance staff was puzzled: "I haven't received a notification here either."
Generally speaking, if a problem is found during the flight, the crew will respond to the control, and the control will notify the maintenance in advance so that the maintenance can be prepared.But no one notified him in advance, which is rather strange.
Mentioning this, Chao Ning's expression was a little unnatural, and he coughed twice: "That. We didn't report to the control."
"Didn't report to the control?" The maintenance's expression froze suddenly: "Such a big incident happened, and you didn't report to the control, so you just flew back?"
"Yeah, I flew back just like that." Xu Cang smiled: "It's not a big problem, won't it land safely? After carefully checking the condition of the plane, just report the truth."
The maintenance staff looked at Xu Cang who was not wearing a pilot's uniform, and couldn't figure out the situation for a moment.Chao Ning saw the confusion of the maintenance staff, and explained: "He is still the supervisor of this flight. You just listen to him and report the truth. Apart from the ice accumulating between the elevators, are there any other problems?"
The maintenance staff shook his head: "That's not true. It seems that there is something wrong with the route you came here. I heard that many planes on that route reported serious ice accumulation, and several of them have diverted to Anchorage. .”
"That's because of the weather." Hearing this, Chao Ning breathed a sigh of relief.If this is a problem with the Boeing 777 itself, the subsequent transoceanic flight pressure will be more troublesome.It now appears that it was simply an environmental factor.
Chao Ning waved his hand: "Okay, go get busy. We will also report to the company here."
Since the flight crew will also report, the maintenance has no scruples, nodded, and went to work again.
After the maintenance went out, Xu Cang slumped on the seat: "I have to catch up on sleep when I get back to the hotel."
Chao Ning was also careful, when he saw Xu Cang's right hand resting on the steering wheel, he would unconsciously tremble intermittently.
About 10 minutes later, the cockpit door opened, and the purser leaned in: "It's over."
Xu Cang got up quickly, no matter what time it was, getting off work was always easy and pleasant.
Seeing Xu Cang's impatience, the co-pilot quickly put away the seat to make way for Xu Cang.
As soon as Xu Cang got out of the cockpit, he was about to go to the cabin to get his luggage. Just after passing the front cabin door, a deep male voice suddenly came from outside the cabin: "Mr. Xu!"
Xu Cang paused, looked outside the cabin, and found two medium-sized white men standing on the cabin door passenger elevator car, both of them were wearing black suits and sunglasses, looking like secret agents.Among them, a man who is slightly taller is half a body ahead, and seems to be the leader.
However, compared to his cool appearance, this man's Chinese accent is really unflattering, which completely destroyed his temperament and made him a bit nondescript.
Xu Cang tilted his head: "Looking for me?"
The man standing in front stepped forward again and nodded slightly: "I am a representative of Boeing headquarters. If Mr. Xu doesn't mind, I have some things to discuss with Mr. Xu."
"Don't mind? No, I don't mind." Xu Cang smiled, and rushed into the cabin regardless of Boeing's people.
The representative of the Boeing headquarters was stunned on the spot, and there is such a lack of face for Boeing?However, he only hesitated for a moment, and shouted at the people behind him: "You are right here."
So the Boeing headquarters representative went straight into the cabin.However, according to regulations, idlers are not allowed to enter the cabin, so the purser hurried over to stop them.
"Sir, I'm sorry, you can't go in!"
The representative of the Boeing headquarters directly took off his ID card and slapped it in the hands of the purser. Then, he passed the purser and went into the cabin to chase Xu Cang.
At this moment, Chao Ning just came out of the cockpit, saw a person who didn't look like a crew member going into the cabin, and saw the flight attendant looking at the certificate in his hand, and was curious for a moment: "What's wrong?"
The purser pointed to the representative of Boeing headquarters who entered the cabin, and showed the ID in his hand to Chao Ning: "It seems to be from Boeing."
Chao Ning came closer and saw that it was really Boeing's work ID: "What are the people from Boeing doing here?"
"Look for that Xu Cang, I don't know what's the matter."
"Looking for Xu Cang?" Chao Ning frowned, looking into the cabin.
At this time, the Boeing representative had already caught up with Xu Cang. When he was approaching Xu Cang, he hurriedly said, "Mr. Xu, we really have something very important."
"I know, otherwise you wouldn't come to the airport to block me." Xu Cang took his bag off the luggage rack: "However, whether it's important or not is for you, it has nothing to do with me."
Seeing Xu Cang’s reluctance, the Boeing representative was so anxious that he almost got angry: “Mr. Xu, it’s not a difficult task, let alone embarrassing you. Just one thing, 1566 FDR, we are willing to bid 1000 million US dollars. Our people have already discussed with the boss of your company, and she said that everything is up to you. Mr. Xu, buying an FDR of a scrapped aircraft for 1000 million US dollars is not a loss-making business, right? "
Xu Cang's action of taking the bag suddenly stopped, and after a moment of contemplation, he immediately figured out the relationship.
The most fatal research report that has caused Boeing to be in a difficult position today concerns the structural strength of the 737 airframe.Even if Boeing proves that the fuselage damage caused by the pressurization after wiping the tail is not directly related to the structural strength of the aircraft, it will not help.
If you want to get rid of the current predicament, you must first solve the source problem, otherwise everything will be in vain.Since the current contradiction lies in the structural strength of the 737's airframe, it is enough to prove that the 737's airframe is strong enough.
How to prove the structural strength of the fuselage of 737?
No matter how much data is listed, it is not as convincing as a shocking super maneuver. Recently, there happened to be such an event that can reflect the strength of the Boeing 737 fuselage, that is, the 1566 Jianchuan 737 flew upside down!
My large civilian airliner can still fly backwards, and it has not disintegrated in the air. Is this iron-like fact not much more powerful than some pale explanation?
However, just presenting this fact is not enough, not deep enough, not final enough.After all, Xu Cang flew the 737 upside down and there was no clear video evidence.Moreover, even if there are videos, the image processing technology in this era is quite developed, and a single video is not convincing enough.
Boeing has already contacted Jianchuan Airport, and retrieved the footage from the airport surveillance, but the picture quality is slightly worse.Therefore, Boeing still needs the flight data of 1566.They not only have to present the fact that the 737 is flying upside down, but also break it down and explain it in conjunction with the flight data, and strive to make this unprecedented upside down flight in the history of airliners into a textbook-like promotional material, so as to eliminate the outside world. Doubts about the structural strength of the Boeing 737 fuselage.
With the video and the flight data, the two correspond, and the outside world can't help but believe it.
Now that the video is done, the only thing missing is the flight data, and, compared to the video, the flight data is more important.It is for this reason that Boeing is willing to pay a high price of 1000 million US dollars for a flight data recorder.
In terms of price, Boeing is indeed quite sincere, but this does not mean that Xu Cang is about to agree.
"I heard that you have been suffering recently!?" Xu Cang asked suddenly.
The face of the Boeing headquarters representative was quite ugly: "There is a research report that is very unfavorable to us Boeing, including the safety incident of the aircraft number 1566 that Mr. Xu experienced before."
The representative of the Boeing headquarters stopped talking halfway through, which made Xu Cang laugh: "Are you doubting me?"
"No! To be honest, that research report is just a pretext. Someone deliberately messed with us in the future. That's the key." The representative of Boeing headquarters said coldly: "But, no matter what, we must solve the source to save ourselves. Xu Sir, we believe that you have nothing to do with this matter, and also believe that Mr. Xu, you are a good friend of our Boeing"
Having said that, the meaning of the representative of Boeing headquarters is already very clear.If Xu Cang is willing to help Boeing, then Xu Cang has nothing to do with the research report, and will be a good friend of Boeing, and this matter will be over.
But if Xu Cang is unwilling to help, then for Xu Cang who is not a good friend, it is necessary for Boing to pursue him.
It seems that Boeing is really pushed into a hurry and has already started to make threats.
In fact, from a rational point of view, Xu Cang should agree to Boeing.Not only can you get a lot of money, but you can also make Boeing owe yourself a favor, and at the same time get the promise of forgetting all things, all you have to do is pay for a flight data recorder of a scrapped aircraft.
However, Xu Cang fell into hesitation, he couldn't make this decision.
Seeing that Xu Cang was still hesitating, the representative of the Boeing headquarters said urgently, "Mr. Xu, what are you thinking about? You really want to be our enemy, isn't this an option?"
"You said that the research report was just a pretext, and the real reason was that there was a mastermind behind it?"
The representative of Boeing headquarters froze for a moment, a little impatiently: "What do you mean?"
"That man behind the scenes can rely on a report that is not fatal to you to make your Boeing so difficult, which shows how powerful the man behind the scene is. If I give you something, doesn't it mean that I broke that man's Good thing?" Xu Cang's eyes shone cautiously: "Then what if he targets me?"
