Joining Sichuan Airlines starts with rescuing the captain of a powerful country

Chapter 190 On a foggy day, the plane is about to land at Milin Airport
It’s rainy in Linzhi.

The annual precipitation can even reach more than 700 mm.

However, the rainfall in Linzhi is not even, mainly concentrated in the months from May to September.

So entering May means entering Linzhi's 'rainy season'.

In addition to abundant rainfall, Linzhi is also foggy.

Especially in spring and autumn.

As long as there is rain or snow, it will inevitably be accompanied by white fog.

Although there are only 70 or 80 days of foggy weather in one day, which is far less scary than the more than 100 days in the "Fog City" mountain city, the foggy days in Linzhi are mainly concentrated in spring and autumn.

Therefore, the foggy days in these two seasons are much denser than usual.

What a coincidence.

The weather conditions in Linzhi today are very bad, with heavy rain first and then heavy fog with visibility less than 50 meters.

Based on feedback from weather stations.

Now there is a thick fog covering the entire Linzhi city.

Although Milin Airport is still about 20 kilometers away from the city, it is still within the "sphere of influence" of this thick fog, but the visibility is slightly higher than that in the city. The visibility can reach to meters, which is barely possible for landing. category.

"The weather is so bad, what should we do? Return to Chengdu?" Chen Bingbing asked with some frustration.

Normally, she would not interrupt at will.

Especially during the flight, she will not 'make trouble' at will.

But she had been looking forward to this 'Lingzhi trip' for a long time.

Seeing that Linzhi is very close, it would be a shame if we were forced to return due to weather conditions.

Lu Qingzhou turned to look at her, smiled and comforted, "Don't worry, Linzhi's Milin Airport is the only airport in China where all aircraft takeoffs and landings must implement RNP (AR) flight procedures, so even if there is a knife from the sky, we Also able to land on time.”

Chen Bingbing's face was full of questions, what the hell is the RNP (AR) flight procedure?

No wonder pilots’ salaries are high.

Just these messy and numerous professional names can make people dizzy.

However, Chen Bingbing's doubts disappeared as quickly as they came.

Although she is a curious baby, she really doesn't have much interest in such too professional questions.

As long as I can land at Milin Airport in Linzhi on time, that's fine.

I have always heard that the snowy plateau is a good place to cleanse the soul.

I also heard that Linzhi is located in the south of Tibet on the snowy plateau, and the scenery is particularly beautiful.

Today I was finally able to 'see the true face'.

Chen Bingbing could hardly contain her excitement.

Others in the cockpit were not as happy as she was.

Bad weather has always been a pilot's worst enemy.

The key is that many times, even though the pilot knows that the destination is experiencing bad weather, he still has to fly the plane and rush in without hesitation.

This is the same as playing games. We know that the big boss is difficult to deal with, but the players still keep fighting the monsters one after another?
Because the big boss is a stumbling block on the way to upgrade.

Only by killing the big boss can you become stronger. Bad weather is also a stumbling block for pilots. If they cannot overcome it and can only avoid it, then the pilots will never grow up.

This is not about risking the lives of other people on the plane.

It's about the amount of bad weather a pilot will encounter in his career.

Problems cannot be solved by running away.

Only by winning in battle can one be truly powerful.

However, 'monster killing' does not mean being reckless, but requires strategies and methods.

More importantly, we must act within our capabilities.

There are equipment, skills, teamwork, etc. .

In this way, the chance of success of 'spawning monsters' can be greatly increased.

The same goes for flying an airplane.

Encountering bad weather requires the captain's superb skills and rich driving experience, as well as the close cooperation of the first officer and second captain, as well as command from the ground.

Equipment is equally important.

For example, all passenger planes flying to Linzhi Milin Airport have all been upgraded with ILS blind landing systems. The ordinary ILS blind landing system has been upgraded to RNP (AR) flight technology. This has greatly improved the accuracy of the aircraft when landing. Landing at an airport with low visibility helps a lot.

This is the importance of equipment.

"According to feedback from the Rongcheng District Survey, the current weather in Linzhi is heavy fog, accompanied by light to moderate rain. The edge of this fog has covered Milin Airport. The good news is that there is no windy weather in Linzhi today, and Milin The airport is located upwind of Linzhi, so we don’t have to worry about strong winds moving the center of the fog to Milin Airport. But the bad news is that the fog won’t clear for a while. In other words, when we arrive at Linzhi , you still have to land when the visibility is less than 100 meters." Lu Qingzhou turned his head, looked at Liang Dong and Xu Yichen and sighed.

"Today is our first day flying the 'High Plateau' route. I didn't expect to receive such a 'big gift' on the first day. God really thinks highly of us."

Xu Yichen said with some worry, "The visibility at Milin Airport is too low. There is not even 100 meters of visibility. The plane is so fast. If you are not careful, the plane can easily overrun the runway."

He had never landed in foggy weather in his career.

So it’s reasonable to be worried.

Liang Dong frowned slightly and said, "The weather in Linzhi is like this. Captain Wang Feng and I also flew over Linzhi before. The fog that time was even worse than today. However, because all the passenger planes flying to Linzhi have been upgraded to ILS. With the landing system and Captain Wang Feng’s experience, the landing was smooth.”

Lu Qingzhou raised his eyelids, looked at Liang Dong and asked, "Brother Liang has flown RNP (AR) flight technology before?"

Liang Dong nodded, "Flyed twice."

"That's okay." Lu Qingzhou patted his thigh and said immediately, "Brother Liang, you and Xu Yichen will change places, and you will be the co-pilot and help me complete the landing procedure. What do you think?"

Liang Dong nodded directly without any hesitation, "I think it will work."

Xu Yichen opened his mouth.

Although he felt a little aggrieved, the two captains had reached an agreement. Even if he, the first officer, had any objections, he could only hold them in.

Lu Qingzhou looked at his wife's aggrieved look and couldn't help but smile and said, "It's not that I don't trust you, but the RNP (AR) flight technology is more complicated than the ordinary ILS blind landing system. Brother Liang has this expertise." experience, so having him assist me is the best choice.”

"It just so happens that you should study hard. Although you have flown a simulator and have flown RNP (AR), simulation and reality are completely different things, do you understand?"

Xu Yichen forced out a smile.

He said to Lu Qingzhou, "Captain, don't worry, I won't have to worry."

"Yes." Lu Qingzhou nodded slightly and said, "Okay, now we are only about two hundred kilometers away from Linzhi, so be prepared."
