Return to 2000: Captain of the Great Powers

Chapter 80 I'm Unsure About This Matter (Please Subscribe!)
Blue sky aviation cabin audio monitoring room.

This is where the safety supervision department and the quality center usually check the cabin sound of the flight.However, in this era, the company's requirements for cabin sound are not very strict.It is still much worse than the high-pressure state of later generations who wish to monitor the whole process.

It is precisely because of such a relaxed environment that most of the time there is no one in the cabin sound monitoring room.Today, there was someone in there, and it was Boeing instructor Mo Shangyun.

He occasionally works part-time in the Safety Supervision Department, and today he was assigned to listen to the cabin sound. There was no specific requirement, and he did as he pleased, listening as much as he wanted.

After casually listening to a few passages, Mo Shangyun had no interest in listening any more.So he took out a stack of paper QAR data, and at the same time turned on the phone to play the audio, which turned out to be Xu Cang's voice.

After careful identification, it was the recording that he and Xu Cang asked Xu Cang to comment on in the cockpit after they returned from Lushui Airport to make up shifts.And that stack of data is the QAR data of the flight at that time.

Originally, he should have compared the recording and QAR data long ago, but he was delayed because of something. Today, he just had nothing to do to see if Xu Cang was talking nonsense.

The QAR data is very detailed, so Mo Shangyun followed Xu Cang's recordings and compared them one by one.

"Radio altitude 54 feet, engine speed 53, descent rate 120. Radio altitude [-] feet, engine speed [-], descent rate [-], speed [-] five"

Xu Cang's voice rang through the player on the mobile phone. After finishing speaking, Mo Shangyun paused first.Then go to the QAR data to find the engine speed, descent rate and speed at the corresponding altitude.

Mo Shangyun works part-time in the Safety Supervision Department. Looking at the QAR data, he found the relevant data very quickly: "The radio altitude is 53 feet, the engine speed is 53, and the rate of descent is 120. At [-] feet, the speed is [-], and the rate of descent is [-] feet. Seven hundred, speed [-] four"

The flight data on the QAR data is really the same as what Xu Cang said.

This is not the scariest thing, the scariest thing is that from the leveling stage, at that fleeting moment, Xu Cang gave far more detailed information than at a higher altitude.

From the aircraft's radio altitude, engine speed, changes in wind direction and wind speed, to the final aircraft attitude change, Xu Cang seemed to be able to extend this time infinitely in just a few seconds from leveling out to touchdown, and all changes become slow and clear.

"He has already graduated!" Mo Shangyun threw the information on the table, with a wry smile on his face: "Just started, and then he graduated from this kid."

As for when it is time to land, Mo Shangyun told his apprentice more than once: "When, starting from leveling out at fifty feet, my mind is no longer blank, and I can clearly perceive the changes in the state of the plane. Once you understand how to respond to changes in status, that is the time to work.”

Many co-pilots with poor skills have nothing in their minds when they are about to touch down, they just level off mechanically, so what will happen in the end depends on God's will.

However, Xu Cang has obviously managed to keep his eyes on all directions and his ears on all sides, taking it easy.

Suddenly, Mo Shangyun's cell phone rang, he glanced at the number, and quickly took it to connect.

As the phone was connected, a man's voice came from the opposite side: "Instructor, the 1566 plane you asked about before has been checked, and no problems have been found, and it has been approved to resume operation."

"No problem. Didn't the crew react abnormally?" During this time, Mo Shangyun was also a little concerned about the plane 1566, especially after Xu Cang's Jianchuan-Yingli flight. up.

He did know that the company had stopped 1566 for a period of time for inspection, which was considered more serious, but he didn't expect that it would be fine after inspection.

The people in the maintenance department were actually very strange. When they asked Xu Cang's crew to understand the situation, the crew said that it was a horror, but after repeated inspections, they didn't find any problems at all.

"I don't know about this. Anyway, we checked according to the procedure, more than once." The person in the maintenance department thought about his words: "Maybe it was the crew's operation error at that time?"

"Really?" Mo Shangyun hung up the phone without saying anything.After thinking for a long time on the chair, he finally sighed: "So he is not a fairy either."

At this time, in the office of Lu Jinghua, the general manager of the flight department, he also received information about the 1566 aircraft from the maintenance department.

"That means the plane is fine, right?" Lu Jinghua confirmed with the staff of the maintenance department with a gloomy face.

The staff of the maintenance department quickly replied: "Mr. Lu, we checked 1566 many times and found no problem."

Lu Jinghua hummed, didn't say anything, and hung up the phone directly.

As the phone was hung up, Xu Cang who was beside him asked impatiently, "Brother Lu, what did the maintenance department say?"

Lu Jinghua put the phone on the table, and said weakly: "After checking many times, the plane resumed operation without any problems."

"No problem, how could the plane be fine?" Xu Cang just felt incredible, the panic they experienced at the time of take-off was real.

Perhaps because of his own experience, Xu Cang was a little agitated, but Lu Jinghua didn't really care, but understood Xu Cang.

Jin Fuli, who was sitting on the sofa, persuaded: "Xu Cang, the maintenance side has already reached a conclusion, let's forget about this matter, there is no result."

"Yeah, maybe Captain Zhu Jian was really taking it too fast at that time?" Lu Jinghua also echoed.

It's not their flight department that has the final say on whether there is a problem with the plane, but the maintenance department's maintenance department. They can only passively accept this conclusion.

To be reasonable, this inspection is not a routine inspection, but a special inspection by the company. It is an inspection after the crew responded to serious problems. The maintenance side will definitely attach great importance to it and will not be perfunctory.

Moreover, if there is a problem with the plane, the maintenance cannot escape afterwards.As long as people with a normal brain circuit don't have to play tricks on it.

Seeing that Xu Cang couldn't accept the result, Lu Jinghua added: "The maintenance side told me that they checked and tested more than once, and there is absolutely no problem."

"Absolutely no problem?" Xu Cang gritted his teeth: "Brother Lu, I felt that there was something wrong with the 1566 plane when I wiped the tail of the flight route assessment. So when I was flying with Zhu Jianji, I observed from the back. Be very careful, Captain Zhu Jian's movement with the lever must be fine."

Just when Xu Cang was halfway through his words, Wang Xuan, who was leaning against the door with his arms crossed all the time, suddenly said sullenly: "Then what if your eyesight is not good enough to tell whether it is fast or not?"

"Impossible!" Xu Cang shouted suddenly, his emotions were abnormally high.But soon he realized that he was too excited, and bowed his head slightly apologetically towards Wang Xuan: "I'm sorry, Mr. Wang, I was excited just now."

Wang Xuan just smiled and didn't say anything.

Although Xu Cang has been the chief pilot of the General Administration in later generations, his nature is quite casual in many cases.Because except for the death of his mother due to illness in later generations, he has never encountered any real setbacks.Even though he was expelled from Part 121 because of poor performance, he returned to Part 121 with unparalleled talent, and has been promoted all the way since then, becoming the fastest promoted chief pilot in the history of domestic civil aviation.

Unlike most officials, Xu Cang's behavior is indeed somewhat informal.But when it comes to certain major issues, such as flight safety, Xu Cang absolutely cannot tolerate problems.

Of course, Xu Cang is not that kind of rigid person, so the so-called absolute safety is not in line with realistic logic.However, the abnormal head-up problem like the 1566 aircraft is no longer a problem that can be ignored. It is a major event that may cause the plane to crash and kill people. As a result, the maintenance side reported that the plane was fine, which is simply a big joke!

Could it be that the frightening scene between him and Captain Zhu Jian that day happened in a dream?
"Xu Cang, the maintenance has already been fixed, and it can't be changed. Besides, I heard that the plane has been parked for several days for inspection. The company really pays attention to it, and it may really be fine." Jin Fuli said: "Or, the abnormal lift of the nose at that time was due to the influence of the airflow? It's no use for the maintenance staff to lie about it."

Lu Jinghua followed suit: "Yes, you are the second officer, don't meddle in this matter."

"Then what if the fault is hidden deeply? What if this kind of ordinary inspection can't find it?" Xu Cang gritted his teeth: "What if something happens again?"

Lu Jinghua persuaded patiently: "Xu Cang, the Boeing 737 is not as sophisticated as you think. Sometimes the plane has a draft, and no matter how you check it, you can't find it out."

It wasn't that Lu Jinghua deliberately belittled the Boeing 737 in order to persuade Xu Cang, but he felt from the bottom of his heart that the 737 was rough from the inside to the outside, just like a diesel tractor.

The various systems in the Boeing 737 are intertwined and complicated. It is not impossible that the wind caused the plane to lift abnormally due to the wind in that part. It is not impossible to find out afterwards.

And such problems are usually quite rare.The airline can't stop the plane forever because of a problem that can't be found out, can it?

You can choke to death if you drink water, so why not drink water?
Xu Cang naturally knew that the 737 aircraft sometimes had some unresolved problems, but Xu Cang did not think that the problem of abnormal nose lift was an occasional black swan incident, but that the aircraft did indeed have faults, but Hidden very deep.

"Brother Lu!" Xu Cang pondered for a long time, and suddenly said: "What if I apply for a D-check on the 1566 aircraft?"

"DD inspection!" Lu Jinghua almost yelled: "Xu Cang, listen to me. It doesn't matter if you are here with me today or you complain to me. But, outside, you must not tell 1566 Airplane D-checks, especially for senior leadership."

Hearing that Xu Cang wanted 1566D inspection, Wang Xuan couldn't help laughing: "Let him talk, it's best to tell the maintenance vice president, only he can confirm the D inspection list."

Lu Jinghua was already upset, but when he heard Wang Xuan fanning the flames beside him, he became angry immediately: "Wang Xuan, shut up!"

Jin Fuli was also frightened by Xu Cang, and quickly said: "Xu Cang, the D inspection is out of the question, it will be a taboo. 1566 is a new aircraft, and the normal D inspection time is six years later, where is it?" There is a D-check of an aircraft that has been flying for less than a year. Moreover, the cost of D-check is several million, and it needs to be parked for nearly two months. The loss is too terrible, and no one will agree to it.”

Xu Cang said with a cold face: "The cost of the D inspection increases according to the age of the machine. The 1566 is very new, so the cost should not be that high."

"Yoho, do you still know about the cost of D-examination?" Wang Xuan smiled slightly: "I said Mr. Lu, since he is so researched, follow him. Xu Cang, turn right from the central elevator on the ninth floor and the third office is The vice president of maintenance, you can tell him what you think, and see how he responds."

Lu Jinghua shouted angrily, "Wang Xuan, get out!"

He had had enough of Wang Xuan's behavior of inciting Xu Cang's emotions, and he was too lazy to talk kindly to Wang Xuan at this time.

Lu Jinghua is sure that as long as Xu Cang dares to tell the vice president of maintenance about the D inspection, then Xu Cang will not be able to stay in this company in the future.

Wang Xuan spread his hands, not caring about Lu Jinghua's anger, and left the office calmly.

Lu Jinghua restrained his anger, and said to Xu Cang in a good voice: "Xu Cang, you are not a big shot, you are just a small second officer, this is not your responsibility, you can just pretend that none of this happened. Is it? If you have a psychological shadow on the 1566 plane, I will ask the planning room not to arrange tasks for this plane for you in the future. Xu Cang, whoever does what, can you just be an ostrich?"

"Then this incident just passed away, so we pretend it never happened?" Xu Cang smiled feebly: "But if it happens again, they can't change it?"

Lu Jinghua was also anxious: "Isn't there a greater probability that it won't happen? Xu Cang, this is not your business, so just leave it alone."

"That's right, I can avoid that plane forever, but what about the other crew members and other passengers?" Xu Cang shook his head, his eyes were steadfastly shining like never before: "This matter is unknown, I feel uneasy. "
