Return to 2000: Captain of the Great Powers

Chapter 3 Wipe the Tail

Xu Cang didn't look like a rookie co-pilot at all, but rather a senior co-pilot who had been flying for many years.

Xu Cang, who was lying leisurely, glanced at the calibration light on the navigation panel and it was off. The expression inertial navigation has been calibrated, and he was about to test the TCAS system, but Wang Qiang raised his hand to stop it.

"Xu Cang, don't test that thing yet, I have something to ask you." Wang Qiang considered his words: "Did you offend any company leaders or inspectors?"

"I don't seem to have it in my impression." Xu Cang didn't dare to be too absolute.He had only been reborn not long ago, and some of his memories were still fuzzy.

Who knew that Wang Qiang turned serious, with an extremely serious face: "Xu Cang, you don't have to be afraid, someone really deliberately targeted you, and I will help you get justice. The company hasn't reached the point where some people can cover the sky with one hand! "

From the preparations in the cockpit, Wang Qiang was almost certain that Xu Cang was definitely not as outrageous as the company's rumors, and he must have been targeted.Wang Qiang didn't believe what Xu Cang said, he thought it was because Xu Cang was afraid of being retaliated afterwards.

But how did he know that Xu Cang didn't hide it, he really couldn't remember who he had offended.Although his memory is not completely clear, it is basically certain that he was doing badly before, and he can't blame others.

However, Xu Cang couldn't tell Wang Qiang that he was reborn, so he smiled awkwardly and didn't say anything else.

In Wang Qiang's eyes, Xu Cang's appearance is clearly the image of a poor novice co-pilot who is oppressed, which directly makes Wang Qiang, who has a sense of justice, feel more necessary to support Xu Cang.

Xu Cang could probably understand Wang Qiang's thoughts.At this moment, he is like the heroine of Shuangwen's novel. Everyone thinks he is a bug walking in the mud, but in fact he is a dragon swallowing clouds and fog.Even Xu Cang, who has experienced it for a lifetime, can't help feeling refreshed all over his body.

The world is vast, let me roam, and Xu Cang, who is extremely happy, subconsciously holds the steering wheel.In a while, he will show Wang Qiang what the strength of a chief pilot is!
The only problem is that due to the huge problems of the MAX series after the 737NG series, the 737 aircraft encountered a serious crisis of trust, and then fell into a slump, and even withdrew from the ranks of mainstream models.

Although Xu Cang was said to be the chief pilot later, the 737 has basically stopped flying, and the handling feels a little strange.However, Xu Cang is confident that the problem should not be serious.

Wang Qiang, who had already been convinced by Xu Cang for the most part, had a better and better attitude towards him, and the atmosphere in the entire cockpit also began to become more relaxed.Since then, Xu Cang has carried out his work in an orderly manner.

Roll out, start, taxi, all the way to alignment on the runway.

"Blue sky 9433, ground wind 23001, runway 21, ready to take off. After takeoff, the wave will be automatically released at 124.35." Tower control gave the takeoff permission.

Xu Cang replied: "Runway 21, ready to take off, 124.35!"

After finishing the recitation, Xu Cang held the steering wheel with both hands and shouted: "Take control, traffic signal."

Wang Qiang stepped on the parking brake, put his right hand on the throttle lever: "Hand over the control, connect to the communication, let's go!"

"Set takeoff thrust."

As Xu Cang's voice fell, Wang Qiang pressed the TO/GA switch, and the auto throttle was added to the set hypothetical temperature minus thrust value.At this time, Xu Cang was controlling the plane, but the throttle was still under Wang Qiang's control.

After a while, the thrust values ​​of the two engines stabilized and were basically equal to the limit values ​​on the CDU.

"Takeoff thrust setting, 95.1!" Wang Qiang shouted.

Xu Cang used the rudder to control the taxiing direction of the plane, and at the same time allocated part of his energy to receive Wang Qiang's standard shouting content.After hearing the take-off thrust setting, Xu Cang replied calmly: "Check, continue."

Wang Qiang raised his eyebrows. Hearing Xu Cang's tone, it seemed that he had more than enough energy to allocate.At this time, some novice pilots put all their energy on maintaining the taxiing direction, and they can't hear the standard shouts of the people next to them, let alone respond.

When the plane accelerated to [-] knots, Wang Qiang reminded: "[-] knots!"

This is an important node of takeoff, which is related to the decision to cancel the takeoff.

"Check, continue!" Xu Cang still said the same words, indicating that he had heard the prompt from the left seat.

As the aircraft accelerates, the rudder effect begins to increase, and the crosswind turbulence begins to have a significant impact on the aircraft's taxiing direction.Although the ground wind reported by the airport is not strong, the crosswind component is almost zero, and it seems to be calm.But in fact, the report given by the tower is often different from the actual wind.At least, when Wang Qiang saw the windbags on the side of the runway that were blown almost parallel to the ground during the sliding phase, he knew that the wind in this field was definitely more than one meter.

However, Xu Cang's correction of the sliding direction was very precise.He will stop the deviation in time at the moment of correction, instead of waiting until the deviation is obvious before resorting to rough methods to correct it.

Although such a correction method is easy to say, many pilots cannot see the initial deviation. They can only perceive it when the deviation is large enough.But by that time, the correction will be a little late.

It takes talent and method to detect deviations.For a pilot like Xu Cang who has never flown a few times, Wang Qiang doesn't think he can sum up his own method, it can only be that Xu Cang is naturally sensitive.

It was this short skating process that made Wang Qiang more and more satisfied with Xu Cang.

In fact, not only Wang Qiang was very satisfied with Xu Cang, but also himself.Flying the 737 again after so many years, I can still get it with my hands. Sure enough, I am a flying genius.

Just when Xu Cang was secretly happy, Wang Qiang suddenly shouted: "V1!"

After passing this speed, the aircraft cannot interrupt the takeoff, which is a key decision point.

As the speed of the plane exceeded V1, Xu Cang restrained his relaxed mind and tensed his muscles.Because the rotation speed Vr is usually only a few knots different from V1.

"I'll show you what a perfect takeoff is." Xu Cang thought to himself.

Sure enough, within two seconds, Wang Qiang suddenly shouted: "Turn the wheel!"

As if he had been stimulated by some kind, at this moment, Xu Cang seemed to return to the control feeling of the business jet he preferred at the back.

However, the next moment, cold sweat broke out on Xu Cang's back, it's over!He is used to flying business jets, and he used the head-up technique of business jets on the 737.

Most business jets are extremely powerful, extremely maneuverable, and have a relatively short fuselage.Sometimes, the speed is enough, and the plane can almost go straight into the sky at a vertical angle.

But large passenger planes are different, and passenger planes will have problems if they do this.

However, Xu Cang found a problem, the nose of the plane was too fast.Even if I lifted it a little faster in a moment of excitement, I would definitely not get up so fast.

There seems to be something wrong with this plane!
But before Xu Cang figured out whether it was a problem with himself or the plane, he vaguely heard a muffled sound, the fuselage trembled, and the steering wheel seemed to be stuck suddenly.

Wipe the tail!

Due to Xu Cang's excellent performance in the sliding stage in the early stage, Wang Qiang's vigilance was slightly relaxed.The moment Xu Cang lifted the wheel, he didn't even notice the problem. When he formed a posture of leaving the ground, Wang Qiang realized that something serious happened.

But as soon as this idea appeared, the movement of the tail rubbing was transmitted to the cockpit.

Wang Qiang's face turned pale in an instant, and he suddenly shouted: "Xu Cang, what are you doing?"
