Chapter 15 We choose to return
"Can't fall down? Why can't you fall down? You are the captain. You don't think you can't do it before the single shot lands. You don't think you can't do it even if you haven't tried it?" Xu Cang looked at the captain's side face seriously, and suddenly felt something was wrong in his heart.
, this seems not to be a joke, but really has no confidence.
The captain's face was not very sluggish: "I think about it again, I think about it again."
As he said that, he looked at the co-pilot and whispered: "The checklist of "Engine Failure or Shutdown".
No matter what, first do the abnormal checklist and then make a decision on other things.
The co-pilot couldn't help but feel a little panicked when he listened to the conversation between the captain and Xu Cang, but he still obediently started to check the order.
"The engine can only be shut down when the flight conditions allow." The co-pilot stared at the QRH and read: "The automatic throttle, if turned on, disconnected."
The captain was also looking at the QRH. When the co-pilot read the automatic throttle item, he pinched the automatic throttle shutdown button at the top of the thrust lever with both hands, and the A/T switch on the MCP board also disconnected.
"The automatic throttle is disconnected, the checklist continues."
"The thrust handle, affected side, withdraws light."
At this time, the actual speed of the No. 2 engine is gone, but the throttle lever is still in the same position as the No. 1 engine. If you want to turn off the engine, you need to retract the No. 2 engine first.
"You protect one round." The captain let go of the control of the throttle lever of the No. 1 engine and only grasped the throttle lever of the No. 2 engine. The co-pilot understood the procedure and temporarily stopped reading the checklist, but grabbed the first one.
The engine's throttle lever is protected.
This is to prevent the wrong accelerator. I encountered it when an airline abroad encountered a single shot. Moreover, the unit not only collected the wrong accelerator, but also cut the starting handle incorrectly.
In high-pressure environments, you cannot maintain too high expectations for the awakeness of the human brain, even for professionals.
"The thrust handle of the No. 2 engine, verify the light collection."
While speaking, the captain slowly removed the throttle lever of the No. 2 engine. Because the throttle lever has lost its function, there is no change in the attitude of the aircraft during the light collection.
As soon as the throttle lever of the No. 2 engine was removed, the co-pilot took back his left hand and handed over the control of the throttle lever of the No. 1 engine to the captain.
"If conditions permit, let the engine run with slow thrust for three minutes."
The captain glanced at the timer, and there was still one minute left, so he had to wait a little longer: "Wait, ask me how much wind is now?"
"Sure!" Xu Cang's heart skipped a beat. As he expected, the extreme side wind and gusts of this game scared the captain. If the double shots were normal, this might not be easy to deal with, let alone the conditions for single shots.
Under the severity of the aircraft and handling are declining.
The co-pilot took advantage of the waiting time to confirm with the tower, and soon the tower gave bad news.
"Feiyu 6321, the ground wind is 16013 now, and the gust is 14 meters." When the tower control was asked, he realized that the wind was really not easy to deal with: "Feiyu 6321, what decision did you decide, return or prepare for landing?"
The captain raised his hand to stop the co-pilot from speaking and replied: "Let's think about it again, please help me understand the situation at Erhai Airport."
Erhai Airport is the closest airport to Jianchuan Airport. In theory, it is the most suitable reserve site, but the captain's face is still frowning.
"Okay, I'll go find out."
"Is the Erhai Airport given to the takeoff and landing site?" Xu Cang asked incrediblely: "It's the wind season now, and I can't even get off this game. Erhai Airport is even more unbearable. Qingshan, it's really impossible to go to Qingshan Airport
ah."
"Have Qingshan Airport opened?" The captain turned his head in confusion and looked at Xu Cang: "Why haven't I heard that Qingshan Airport is opened?"
Xu Cang was stunned and then realized that he was in 2000. Qingshan Airport, another hub in the southwest, had not been opened yet and would not start operating in about two years. He was stunned and started
Nonsense.
"It's nothing, I remembered it wrong." Xu Cang passed by casually.
The airport density in 2000 was more than half smaller than in 20 years, and most of them were short and narrow runways, which led to very few choices for reserve landing sites.
However, domestic civil aviation will soon usher in a golden age.
Suddenly, a little inspiration flashed in Xu Cang's mind, and he seemed to have grasped some clues about the future path. However, news came from the tower soon.
Erhai Airport is operating today, but the gusts of this event are ten meters. According to the forecast of the meteorological department, the wind speed will continue to increase in the short term in the future.
At this time, the two people sitting in front had just turned off the starting handle of the No. 2 engine. The captain's face was so gloomy that water was almost dripping from the tower.
He also knew that Erhai Airport was windy in spring and summer, and the turbulence over there was famous all over the country. Although the gusts over there were ten meters, it was estimated that the intensity could exceed the 15 meters of gusts at Jianchuan Airport.
.
The co-pilot turned off the component on the right as required by the checklist, which will turn the component working when the flap is closed to the high flow position. After that, the APU will be started.
It took some time for the APU to start, and the captain held his forehead: "I made the checklist after takeoff."
In this gap, the captain was having a fierce ideological confrontation in his mind. Erhai Airport made them the only theoretically suitable airport, but the deadly turbulence there was even more scary than Jianchuan Airport. He gave him a hundred courages.
I dare not land there.
Let alone him, even the old instructors of the company think Erhai Airport is very difficult.
But if you change to a backup airport, there will be only a further Qianxi Airport. But that airport is too far away, and the fuel is very, very dangerous. Especially under single-engine conditions, the aircraft's cruising altitude will be very low and the fuel consumption will be even higher.
It cannot be reduced. If the fuel is insufficient, it will be a good time to stop.
This is the current situation, there are too few choices.
Xu Cang was also very confused when he saw the captain's entangled appearance. In later generations, he happened to have dealt with a single-shot landing. If the captain was unable to land, he might be the time to go.
Even Xu Cang, to be precise, was already the chief pilot of the bureau in later generations, and did not dare to land at Erhai Airport in Fengshi under a single shot.
The wind there is so terrifying!
The frowning captain cooperated with the co-pilot to complete the checklist after taking off, but the APU had not started yet. For a moment, the cockpit fell into strange silence.
Xu Cang finally couldn't help it. Just as he was about to speak, he saw that the captain seemed to have made an important decision. He no longer had his eyes confused and pressed the speech button: "Tower, we choose to return!"
