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

Chapter 361 The first cross-border flight mission officially begins

"Hey boy, I gave you a chance but you didn't use it!"

Sun Jie patted Lu Qingzhou's shoulder with a look of regret on her face, "There are so many people who want me to tutor you, but I like handsome and young students like you."

"why?"

"Because you look like a good student."

"But you are just an embroidered pillow, good-looking but useless."

"Haha." Lu Qingzhou laughed dryly, "The water of remedial lessons is too deep, I'm afraid I can't grasp it, so I'd better leave this opportunity to Captain Chang Jian."

Sun Jie glanced at Liu Changjian, whose face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.

He quietly stuck out his tongue.

"Giving Bao Qingtian extra lessons? I'm afraid he'll chop my head off with a dog-head chopper."

Liu Changjian said unhappily, "Don't just joke around, go around the plane and check it, and notify the passengers to board the plane after the inspection."

The two of them gave up.

Got off the plane.

The Airbus A350 passenger plane was then fully displayed in front of Lu Qingzhou.

The Airbus A350 is a twin-engine long-range wide-body aircraft that has only been on the market for less than three years.

It is Airbus's new generation of medium to large wide-body aircraft series for medium to ultra-long range, replacing the earlier Airbus A330 and A340 series models.

So this passenger aircraft is improved based on the Airbus A330.

The purpose is to increase range and reduce operating costs.

It is also intended to compete with the newly designed Boeing 787.

XNUM X Year X NUM X Month.

Airbus A350 has officially entered the domestic market.

In other words.

Lu Qingzhou is actually one of the first pilots in China to obtain an Airbus A350 flight license.

However, after obtaining the flight license for this type of aircraft, he no longer continued to fly this type of aircraft, but was sent by the company to fly other domestic routes.

From January to now.

The Airbus A350 has withstood the test of a full ten months.

Judging from the current data and feedback from pilots, the Airbus A350 is indeed a large aircraft with excellent performance and a high safety factor.

Abroad,
Some pilots even praise it as the safest large aircraft in the world.

Compared with its 'predecessors' a330/340, the a350 is lighter.

This is because the A350 uses a new carbon fiber material.

Light weight does not mean a decrease in safety factor.

and.

The a350 has more power, so it does a better job of saving fuel than the a330/340.

The fuselage of the A350 is much smaller than that of the "sky giant" A380.

However, the length of this aircraft still reaches 67 meters, and the wingspan of the two pairs of wings is more than 64 meters.

Although it looks smaller than the A380, it can still be regarded as a small air fortress.

This aircraft is specially designed for cross-country/intercontinental routes.

So it can carry up to 350 passengers.

When fully fueled, the flight range can reach more than 14,000 kilometers.

With such a long range, it can reach almost any corner of the world.

That's why Lu Qingzhou felt that it was a real pity to use such a good plane to fly to India.

Not a moment later.

He has completed the walk-around inspection.

And the fuel tank is already full.

Only then did he sign and confirm the maintenance list and refueling receipt handed over by the maintenance staff.

Because there are not too many passengers flying from Chengdu to India, they have to go to Guangzhou first.

Therefore, the plane needs to be fully fueled at Tianfu Airport, so that after arriving at Baiyun Airport, some of the refueling time can be reduced.

After returning to the plane, the crew had completed all preparations before takeoff.

Liu Changjian led Sun Jie to stand at the boarding gate.

After seeing Lu Qingzhou coming up.

Then he said, "It's very close to take off now. If there's nothing else, let's get on board."

"Again, because the situation on this flight is somewhat complicated, both the flight attendants and the pilots must be fully prepared mentally."

"While serving passengers well, we must also pay attention to protecting our own rights and interests."

"All right."

"Come in, guests!" he said.

He nodded to the chief flight attendant and then turned and entered the cockpit.

Lu Qingzhou smiled and added, "I still say that. If you have any problems, come to the cockpit to find me."

"I'll fly on the way there, and you'll fly on the way back"

Lu Qingzhou just entered the cockpit.

Liu Changjian asked.

Lu Qingzhou nodded and said, "You can arrange it however you want."

Today he is the second pilot in command and needs to obey the captain's command unconditionally.

As for the co-pilot.

Of course it’s Sun Jie.

Cross-border/intercontinental routes generally require at least three pilots because of the long distance and time span.

This is because new aircraft models have been launched into the market one after another and various functions have been increasingly improved, which has greatly reduced the number of pilots.

If it is an early flight, whether it is domestic or international, the number of pilots is at least four.

They are the captain, co-pilot, navigator (communicator) and random maintenance engineer.

Except for the captain, who can only be one person, other positions can be occupied by multiple people.

However, because the operating mode of the new models is no longer cumbersome, the number of passengers even on international flights has been greatly reduced.

Even intercontinental flights.

There are only five or six people at most.

The Airbus A350 keeps the number of pilots strictly controlled to less than three.

However, sometimes the aircraft will carry one or more junior pilots or trainee pilots (observers), so the number of people will increase greatly.

But whether they are low-level pilots or trainee pilots, they are not considered real pilots.

At best, he can only be considered a flight trainee.

Precisely because the number of pilots has decreased, the small cockpit has become slightly more spacious.

Capital time.

It's ten o'clock sharp in the morning.

Sichuan Airlines flight 3u7887 has completed all preparations before takeoff.

The cabin door is closed.

The inside and outside of the plane are completely separated into two "worlds".

Following the order from the tower.

Liu Changjian was seen gently pushing the throttle lever.

Release the brakes and push the rudder.

He slowly drove this huge aircraft weighing hundreds of tons to the take-off waiting area.

A few minutes later.

The Airbus A350 passenger plane suddenly erupted with a deafening roar.

The plane also began to taxi on the runway.

The speed is getting faster and faster.

faster and faster.

After the speed exceeded the v1 decision speed, Liu Changjian immediately pulled the operating lever lightly.

Pull rod.

look up.

The nose of the Airbus A350 was pulled up slightly.

Then continue to climb in a very smooth manner.

Lu Qingzhou sat in the cockpit.

I can already feel my feet leaving the ground.

But what surprised him was that the sound insulation of this aircraft was indeed very good.

So much so that I was not distracted by the roaring sound on the plane.

Another few minutes passed.

The plane finally reached the designated altitude.

Then the nose of the plane completed the turn and roared towards Guangzhou.

Lu Qingzhou’s first cross-border flight mission.

This is the beginning of the story.
