Chapter 18 The Doomed Air Disaster
Chapter 18 The destined air crash
The captain was obviously stunned. When Xu Cang proposed that he take control, deep down in his heart, he felt a little relieved. The pressure of the single engine landing in the strong crosswind was too great for him. It was fatal.
The thing is, this is what he still has to face.
"Are you the captain or the instructor? I heard from my family that your boarding pass says you are from Blue Sky Airlines." The captain did not answer Xu Cang's question clearly, but asking this was equivalent to seriously considering what Xu Cang said.
The feasibility of the statement has become clear.
The flight crew's boarding pass contained information belonging to the airline. The check-in counter staff informed the company of this, and Feiyu Airlines sought advice from the captain. With the captain's consent, Xu Cang was allowed to board.
Machine.
At least it is certain that Xu Cang is a genuine pilot, but the specific level is unknown. However, in view of Xu Cang's previous calmness and calmness, he deliberately classified Xu Cang as a captain or above.
It’s not that the captain’s brainstorming ability is too strong, the external temperament of the co-pilot, captain, instructor, especially the veteran instructor is quite different, and even a civil aviation person with a little experience can tell the difference.
The captain's error in his judgment of Xu Cang is excusable. Who would have thought that there was another soul hidden in Xu Cang?
Xu Cang was silent for a moment, and finally gave a vague answer: "Well, that's right."
The captain nodded, but didn't say anything else. Instead, he called the cabin with his head sullenly, explaining the situation of the plane and his decision to return.
What's ridiculous is that until the captain informed the cabin that the engine had stalled and the plane was about to return, the cabin crew didn't even know that an engine had shut down.
The flight attendants were sitting in the front and rear workrooms during takeoff, so it was understandable that they did not hear the engine clearly. However, the passengers in the middle and front of the cabin, especially those on the right side who were right next to the engine, did not feel anything at all.
It's really amazingly tight.
However, this is also a good thing. If the passengers know that an engine stalls, they will most likely feel a little panicked, and it will take some effort to comfort them.
Under the instructions of the captain, the flight attendant revealed that the plane had a "minor" malfunction and needed to return. The specific reason was not disclosed.
The unexpected smoothness of the process of comforting the passengers in the cabin made the crew less worried. After handling everything, they were waiting for ground support from the airport to be in place.
About eight or nine minutes later, the airport tower notified the crew that they could join the approach, and at the same time gave radar guidance and began to descend.
"Let me try it first. If it doesn't work, let's talk." The captain lowered his head and said these words angrily. As he said that, he wiped his face with a small towel and gave the order to the co-pilot: "Verify the altitude.
Speed check, flaps one!"
Xu Cang understood what the captain meant, and he kept loosening and clenching his hands, calming down his restlessness. Maybe it would be his turn to play soon.
At this moment, there is an independent apron near the end of Runway 23 of the airport below. This is a dedicated apron for business jets. In this era, domestic business jets are still quite rare. On the large independent apron, there are only
There were only two business jets parked, one of which was a white-painted Gulfstream GIV business jet, which is an ultra-long-range business jet capable of intercontinental navigation.
The front cabin door of this Gulfstream business jet is close to the passenger stair car. There are some staff below making necessary preparations. It seems that it is about to take off.
The cabin of the business jet can carry more than a dozen people. However, the cabin is empty at the moment, with only a beautiful woman flipping through a magazine boredly. If Xu Cang were here, he would definitely be able to tell that this woman is the representative of Spring and Autumn Tourism.
, is probably Qin Xin, his future wife.
Qin Xin quickly turned the magazine in her hand to the last page, and immediately threw it on the small table in front of her. She held her forehead and said impatiently: "Can't we leave yet?"
The secretary who had been following Qin Xin immediately ran over from the front cabin, bent down and approached Qin Xin: "Miss, the cockpit said that the airport is not allowed to leave, so we need to wait."
"You're not allowed to leave, what's wrong?" Qin Xin raised her eyebrows: "Is the weather in Yangcheng bad?"
This time she returned to her hometown in Yangcheng on a specially approved temporary route. Logically speaking, there should be no time delay. The only reasonable explanation is weather problems.
"It's not a weather problem, it seems there is a problem at the airport. The planes on the ground are not allowed to take off now. They are all waiting."
Qin Xin became more interested: "What's the problem?"
The secretary's slender jade finger pointed upward: "In the sky, there is a plane in the sky whose engine has stalled. We have to wait for that plane to land first."
"The engine stalled?" Even though Qin Xin was calm enough, he couldn't help but be slightly surprised.
This is no small matter! Although Spring and Autumn Travel is not involved in the aviation industry, she often deals with airlines, so she is considered half an insider. In this situation, the airport is probably in a state of emergency, and it is normal not to allow them to take off.
.
"Since we are not allowed to take off, I guess the plane is about to land, so let's wait." Qin Xin looked through the porthole to the sky outside, as if searching for something.
