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

Chapter 305: The C919 hasn’t even obtained its airworthiness certificate, but it can go abroad for cross-border test flights?

"Wow"

At this moment.

Qiu Yue's exclamation broke Lu Qingzhou's "sadness".

"The C919's cabin is so luxurious, with a lot of space and a lot of technology. It's much better than the Airbus we usually fly."

"Yes, yes, it is worthy of being my 'dream machine'."

"Xiao Zhouzi, I have already fallen in love with someone else. From today on, you are no longer my dream man, C919 is."
Yang Hui and Zhou Yawen also exclaimed in surprise.

Even Bi Nan, who is usually steady and mature, was delighted after seeing the C919 cabin for the first time.

Obviously.

The cabin design of the C919 is completely in line with her aesthetic.

When Huang Jia heard the exclamations of the little sisters, he could no longer suppress his curiosity.

He quickly put on his flat shoes and hurried into the cabin.

Just took a first look.

She waved to Lu Qingzhou impatiently, "Little Zhouzi, little Zhouzi, come quickly. The internal structure design of the C919 is so beautiful and technological."

Lu Qingzhou glanced at her and said unhappily, "Do you still need to tell me?"

"I come here almost every day during this period, and I'm already tired of it."

He said "disdain" with his mouth.

But even a fool could tell that he was just showing off.

Huang Jia rolled his eyes at him.

cut!
Just show off.

"Qingzhou, come here. There is a new mission from the dispatch center." At this time, Captain Liu Changjian's head popped out of the cabin door and said to Lu Qingzhou.

Huang Jia, Bi Nan, Zhou Yawen and others saw this.

He hurriedly greeted Liu Changjian, "Good afternoon, Captain Liu."

"Long time no see, Captain Liu."

"Captain Liu is handsome again."
Liu Changjian greeted them and said, "It's been a long time since we last met. Hello."

Done.

He waved to Lu Qingzhou again, "Come here quickly, damn, today's test flight mission seems a bit tricky."

After hearing this, Lu Qingzhou didn't dare to delay any longer.

He climbed onto the hatch in two steps.

Asked, "What's wrong?"

"Let's talk in the cockpit." Liu Changjian said.

Then he turned to Bi Nan and said, "Bi Nan, you guys go about your business. If you have any questions, just ask Xu Yichen."

"Okay, Captain Liu." Bi Nan nodded slightly.

Then he turned his head to look at Huang Jia and the others and said, "Girls, don't just stand there, get busy."

"Look at you all, you are all useless, just like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden. When Sichuan Airlines receives this batch of C919 in two years, I will definitely let you fly enough."

the other side.

Lu Qingzhou and Liu Changjian have already entered the cockpit.

When Liang Dong saw the two people come in, he immediately stood up.

"The dispatch center has notified us." Liu Changjian glanced at the two of them and continued, "It's about our test flight mission today."

He did not keep the suspense, but said directly, "Our test flight mission today is not like usual, where we load various instruments and take off into the air, and then conduct and complete the test at different altitudes."

The aircraft test flight mission is simple, but also complex.

It is to test the reactions of various systems and components of the aircraft at different altitudes, different altitudes, different weather conditions, different climates, and different regions.

Because China is too big.

Not only is it big, but it is also all-encompassing.

China accounts for 11 of the 10 types of landforms in the world. As for climate types?
From tropical to frigid zones, from marine climate to desert climate, almost all are available.

Therefore, even if the C919 is not exported abroad, it will be difficult for it to adapt to the complex and changing domestic environment.

Not to mention that COMAC is ambitious and has long positioned its domestically produced large aircraft as the world's third largest civil passenger and cargo aircraft manufacturer.

Therefore, it is only a matter of time before domestically-made large aircraft are exported abroad.

Since it is going to be exported abroad, why not test all the complex environments?
Do not!
Not once.

But countless times.

Therefore, Lu Qingzhou and his team's usual task is to fly the C919 prototype into the air, and then climb or descend to different altitudes or fly to different areas according to the instructions of the dispatch center.
But Liu Changjian now says that today's test flight mission is different from usual.

Ok?
Isn't this how airplane test flights are done?

What else can the dispatch center do?

Before Lu Qingzhou could ask, Liu Changjian continued, "We have to go abroad today."

Going abroad?

Lu Qingzhou and Liang Dong were stunned.

Isn't it a test flight of C919?
Why are you going abroad again?
"No, it should be that we have to fly this C919 today to send some people out of the country, and then complete the C919's cross-border/national airworthiness flight by the way."

Liu Changjian explained, "The day after tomorrow, which is July 7, the World Civil Aviation Conference will be held in Po County, and the Civil Aviation Administration of China and COMAC will also send delegations to attend the conference."

"Originally this matter had nothing to do with us, but the dispatch center just issued a notice ordering us to fly the C919 to take the delegation to Po County for a meeting."

Lu Qingzhou was stunned.

dispatch center.

No.

It may be that the top management of COMAC is too bold.

Although it has gone through such a long period of flight test and testing, all systems and components of C919 fully meet the design requirements.

In other words, the C919 is already a large aircraft with relatively mature performance.

However, this large aircraft has not yet obtained its airworthiness certificate, let alone passed the acceptance and access of the Civil Aviation Administration of China.

to be honest.

c919 is completely an unstable factor.

But COMAC actually dared to send the C919 to send the delegation abroad.

The destination was Southeast Asia, which was thousands of kilometers away.

Lu Qingzhou and his men dared to fly.

The question is whether the delegation dares to sit down?
Uh!
Since the dispatch center has already issued the notice, it means that the delegation members have been dealt with.

In this case.

What is Lu Qingzhou still worried about?

Anyway, he has flown the C919 so many times and is very confident in this domestically-made large aircraft.

and.

He is now eager to know how this domestically-made large aircraft performs in long-distance flight.

"Captain Chang Jian." Liang Dong frowned and asked, "The range of the C919 is about 5500 kilometers. We are flying from Shanghai to Singapore, and the straight-line distance is about to kilometers. I feel like the fuel is not enough."

Liu Changjian waved his hand and said, "It's okay. We will refuel and maintain at Baiyun Airport in Yangcheng. Mr. Wu and his team have already gone to Yangcheng District for dispatch. A temporary dispatch center has been set up there. We will fly to Yangcheng first, and then fly to Singapore from Yangcheng."

Liang Dong smacked his lips. "No wonder I didn't see Mr. Wu these past two days. It turns out he went to Guangzhou. Tsk tsk, it seems this cross-border test flight was not a spur-of-the-moment decision. But we only found out about it now. The confidentiality work was done very well."

"Normal." Lu Qingzhou interrupted, "The domestic large aircraft project is indeed a key confidential project. What if it is leaked in advance and destroyed? Don't underestimate the foreigners. They play business wars dirty."

Done.

He turned his head to look at Liu Changjian, puzzled, "It's just that the C919 is just a large aircraft under development. It hasn't even obtained the domestic airworthiness certificate. How can it go abroad?"

"Not to mention that we have to pass through the airspace of several countries, even Po County actually allowed us to enter with a test plane?"

Liu Changjian smiled and said, "This is not something we should worry about. Anyway, the dispatch center has given the order, so we just need to execute it."

Lu Qingzhou shrugged, "That's right, just do our job well."
