Just as the Xu Cang plane is in Incheon, South Korea, in its airspace thousands of miles away, a spring-summer airplane is about to land in the airspace located thousands of miles away from Binjiang Airport terminal area in the northeast.

At this moment, although it was already March, I don’t know if it was late spring cold or what it meant. It was snowing heavily above the Binjiang Airport. Looking around, the earth was covered in silver and was particularly charming.

However, compared to the bitter cold wind outside, the inside of the plane is tightly warm and the air conditioner is quite powerful.

At this time, the plane had intercepted the glide and was descent at a relatively uniform speed at a descent rate of more than 800 feet per minute. The snow fell heavily in the sky, but the wind was not heavy. Once the autonomous driving was connected, the plane would not shake.

After obtaining the landing permission of the tower, the captain habitually picked up a semi-wet towel to wipe his face, and wiped off the sweat of his palms and hands. Looking at the track that had already caught his eyes, he opened the windshield wiper to a high position, adjusted the seat, and said, "Do you bring a down jacket?"

"No, Jianchuan is not that cold either. I didn't look at the weather when I took off." The co-pilot said speechlessly: "But it doesn't matter. Anyway, I'm not flying when I go back, so I'll wait for the plane."

The Binjiang flight from Jianchuan is a large class, and it can take more than five and a half hours in a single section. If a set of groups cannot fly back and forth, they can only be divided into two sets. Now the two people in the cockpit fly away, and then they will directly convert to add a unit after landing, and then add a return flight back and forth.

This is actually something that pilots don’t like. To be precise, they don’t like adding a crew. Because adding a crew is very little, but they have to take a plane of the same time as the person flying in front of them, so it’s better to carry out a flight.

However, Xu Cang is a pilot and understands the psychology of pilots. Therefore, the subsidy for additional crews for Spring and Summer Airlines is 50% higher than that of most airlines.

In this way, although it is still not as good as the execution flight, it has increased by nearly half and everyone has fewer complaints.

Of course, in terms of actual cost, if the pilot does not add a crew, it can be allowed to stay overnight. After the crew on the trip lands, they will get off the plane and go to the local hotel to rest. They will be replaced by another crew that has already rested in the local hotel in the front, and then they will take back tomorrow's plane, and go back.

Of course, this is just one of the combinations, and there are actually many ways to schedule shifts.

However, if you include the pilot's overnight fee, hotel accommodation fee, meal allowance, and some miscellaneous fees, it is actually much higher than the expenses of adding crew members.

However, there is one advantage of doing this, that is, it does not consume too much of the pilot's duty period.

Although the flight is not a flight, it is also considered on duty and cannot be considered as rest.

For example, if a pilot flew from Jianchuan to Binjiang in the morning, if he stayed there overnight, then the duty period would be when he got off the plane and arrived at the hotel, and the rest period would be followed. In this way, he could perform a morning shift tomorrow, and the rest period would be enough.

However, if the pilot returns to the crew and waits for him to fly over and then adds it back, it may be late or even evening when he returns to Jianchuan. His duty period does not end in Binjiang, but will not end until he returns to Jianchuan. In this way, he will not be able to fly some particularly early flights the next day because the rest period is not enough. This situation will lead to a slight waste of crew capacity, which actually needs to be converted to the cost.

In comparison, both adding units and staying overnight have their own advantages and disadvantages. However, this spring and summer airline has not yet reached such a lack of capacity, so it is chosen to add units with lower intuitive costs.

If there are too many routes behind and the capacity is tight, it is better to rest on the spot in the long run to preserve the strength of the crew.

"I forgot. This is the first time I have flew such a large single section." The captain scratched his head. He used to be Muhua. Apart from international routes, he had never flew such a large single section. This level is probably only comparable to Shanghai-Ukrainian market: "You can feel how big our country is if you fly like this. If it were South Korea next door, it would take an hour to drive to the sea from south to north, hehe."

For a moment, the cockpit was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

It’s not a big surprise that the captain didn’t feel nervous. The snow outside was indeed heavy, but when the windshield wipers were opened, it basically did not affect the field of view. It’s not at night now, and the light field is very good, so there is basically no impact.

Moreover, the airflow on the five sides is very stable and quite comfortable.

However, it is the same thing to laugh at the front. When it is about to land, you still have to cheer up. So, after making the final fine-tuning of the seat, the captain released the thrust handle with his right hand and placed it in the front in an approximate position: "If you want to fly again later, add the throttle to this position, and then fine-tune the thrust later. First, retract the flap to fifteen, then retract the wheels, and the order cannot be wrong. After four hundred feet, add the standard recycle procedure, you should immediately turn right and fly to Gaoyaotai, with a height of 1,800 meters."

The co-pilot nodded: "I understand."

"Okay!" After explaining some risks, the captain directly disconnected the autonomous driving.

"Automatic driving disconnects, FD mode."

Not long after the automatic driving was disconnected, the captain disconnected the automatic throttle and entered full manual operation. However, as I felt before, after the aircraft entered manual operation, the aircraft was still stable.

"Is the airflow so stable?" The captain seemed a little surprised. He had not experienced such a stable airflow environment for a long time. After adjusting the balance, the captain even slightly released the driving wheel: "Look, you don't have to move."

"The tower still reported a meter of wind."

"That's comfortable enough. Are the five sides of Binjiang so comfortable? In fact, it's a pity for the students to practice." The captain took off his hands and grabbed the wheel again for a second or two.

"The height is one thousand feet, the landing form is completed, the approach is stable, the lights are fully opened, and the landing command is available."

"Check, continue!"

"The height is five hundred feet, the course is good, and the downhill is good."

"Check, continue!"

"One hundred will make a decision! The runway can be seen, right in front of you."

"Decisively high, the runway is right in front!"

"Okay, keep going!" Two hundred feet above the ground, the captain's eyes moved forward in the distance. At this moment, the runway of Binjiang Airport had been cleared, and there were a lot of snow on both sides of the road surface, like a dam.

Perhaps because the snow was falling too hard, a small part of the runway that was originally cleaned was dyed white again. However, according to the tower reaction, the brake effect of the runway was still good, so there should be no problem.

"I will fall heavier later. Don't worry about sinking a little faster." At the lower level, the captain could already see the details on the runway. There seemed to be some water and snow on the road surface. In this case, it would be better to land solidly, so as to avoid the plane skidding.

The captain was quite responsible and communicated with the co-pilot in advance. Because the solid landing was to deliberately land a little heavier, breaking the water film while breaking through. If the co-pilot did not communicate in advance, the co-pilot could see that the plane was sinking too fast. In extreme cases, it would be embarrassing to call for re-flight after losing the conditions for normal landing.

In principle, whether the crew members in the cockpit are the captain or the co-pilot who shouts to fly again, they must fly again.

"I understand!" the co-pilot responded.

Just as the co-pilot finished speaking, the plane entered the runway, with a height of fifty feet.

Then, the subsequent plane leveled normally. However, when it was about to land, the captain artificially placed the plane, causing grounding to occur with a relatively obvious load.

As soon as the plane is grounded, the captain immediately pulls up the speed plate and controls the direction of the plane's skiing.

The co-pilot immediately reported the system changes: "The speed reduction plate is raised, the anti-spray is unlocked, and the anti-spray is 81."

"Yeah." The captain smiled, his eyes falling on the runway: "It seems that there is no water. Let's see how much it has fallen later, so don't give me a warning."

"It shouldn't be that it's soft at most, and it doesn't matter if it's soft." The co-pilot said: "The automatic brake is released, and the ground speed is 60."

The captain looked at the exit from the road, then glanced at the ground speed, and estimated it slightly, thinking that he could slow down to a ground speed of twenty knots at the next road.

"Just the one in front."

Twenty-six ground speed is definitely not a risk, it is a very common operation, so the co-pilot had no objection and said no.

"Roll up the air conditioner temperature." The captain pointed to the cabin temperature adjustment panel. After confirming that the ground speed was less than twenty knots, he saw the right time, abandoned the rudder, and began to change direction with his handwheel.

In low-speed environments, the rudder surface effect is not good, and the sliding direction is not accurately controlled, and the deflection angle is also limited, so it needs to be changed to a handwheel.

The captain's operation was absolutely no problem, so the co-pilot did not pay much attention to the outside, so he raised the air conditioner temperature a little according to the captain's request.

However, the moment the captain left the rudder and turned into a handwheel, he suddenly discovered a problem, and the handwheel was stuck and could not move.

At first, the captain thought he didn't use enough force, but after exerting force, the handwheel just moved slightly to the left. At this moment, the captain immediately realized that it was not his own problem, but a problem with the front wheel turning device.

At this time, the plane had already deflected slightly, and was in an embarrassing situation where it could neither turn to the road nor return to the runway. At this moment, the captain's reaction was also very quick, and then he stepped on it and wanted to stop the plane.

However, although the runway surface was not as slippery as expected, it was also a wet runway after all, and the brake effect was definitely affected. In a hurry, the plane did not immediately reduce the speed, and it was only barely stopped until it approached the edge of the road surface.

But at the last moment, as the plane moved slightly, the captain and co-pilot suddenly heard a bang, which was the movement of the front wheel crushing the side lights. Then the nose of the plane suddenly sank and finally stopped.

However, the captain and co-pilot's hearts also sank to the bottom.

The front wheel entered the grass!

On flight 552, Professor Wang Jingming had already sat on the seat next to Xu Cang. Perhaps he felt a little uncomfortable when he suddenly upgraded the cabin, and Professor Wang Jingming seemed a little cramped.

"Little brother, it doesn't matter if I sit here. I have an economy class ticket."

Xu Cang smiled and said, "It's okay, just sit down."

"Oh. Little brother, you just said that you can solve the turning point, how can you do it?" For some reason, in this conversation, Xu Cang seemed more like an elder, while Wang Jingming seemed a little restrained and his role changed.

"Professor, after landing, just buy a ticket from the latest time."

"But the key is that I don't have that much money." Wang Jingming said helplessly.

In fact, he was not as good as not being able to buy a plane ticket at all. But after buying it, his pockets would be almost empty, and there was still something behind him.

"It's okay, this kind of thing is Muhua Airlines' mistake. They will bear your ticket money. You can contact Muhua Airlines' customer service in the future." Xu Cang said, looking at the flight attendant who was still standing in the corridor: "Is that right?"

The flight attendant was stunned for a moment. What was the matter related to Muhua Airlines? However, the flight attendant responded very quickly and said quickly: "Sir, can you leave a contact information? We will contact you separately in the future. Just keep the ticket voucher, and we will be responsible for compensation."

Wang Jingming was overjoyed when he heard this, and wrote down his mobile phone number on a cleaning bag and handed it over to the flight attendant.

The flight attendant confirmed that there was no problem, and he looked at Xu Cang and went back to the front cabin workroom.

Although Wang Jingming was very satisfied with getting a ticket again and waiting for the next flight, he had to wait in the waiting hall for a long time to get such a result.

"Little brother, it's really thanks to you this time, otherwise I really don't know what to do." Wang Jingming said gratefully.

Xu Cang waved his hand: "Professor Wang, my name is Xu Cang, just call me Xiao Xu. It is my honor to solve problems for a great scientist like you."

"What a great scientist, I'm just a material science researcher." Wang Jingming always put himself in a relatively low position. Perhaps this was not just about Xu Cang, but about his previous life and work, he was so trembling and cautious.

For some reason, Xu Cang felt a sour feeling in his heart.

"Xu Cang, are you simply curious or are you also engaged in related fields?"

Xu Cang smiled and said, "I am a aviation engine."

"Oh! Look at you're over 20 years old, you're participating in the development of Aeronautical Engine. The younger generation is terrifying, and the younger generation is terrifying." After talking about science and technology, Wang Jingming was not as terrified as before, and he seemed a little relaxed: "Which direction should Aeronautical Engine go?"

For example, engines or other similar studies, the higher the level, the more detailed the research direction. For example, when studying the entire engine in undergraduate studies, only focusing on high-pressure systems when studying for masters, and only studying high-pressure turbine blades when studying for doctoral studies.

In fact, Wang Jingming asked casually, and he felt that Xu Cang should be involved in the overall direction of aircraft engines, and has not yet reached the point of subdivision of disciplines.

However, Xu Cang said: "I plan to build a team for aviation development."

Wang Jingming was stunned. After half a minute, after confirming that Xu Cang was not joking, he laughed dryly: "Young people are really big ambitions."

To be honest, Wang Jingming didn't know how to take Xu Cang's words just now.

If Xu Cang is not watching a joke, it is crazy about gaining and losing. However, Xu Cang helped him after all, so Wang Jingming still said it more implicitly.

"Professor Wang, do you think I'm whimsical?"
