Chapter 74 Then I’ll fly! (First order requested!)

Xu Cang, who was relatively relaxed at first, heard Jin Fuli's words as soon as he sat down, and his face stiffened. If it was an ordinary simulator cooperation, Xu Cang would really feel nothing, but if it involves someone else's proficiency check, the meaning is different. And

I heard from Jin Fuli that the person on the right was doing his second proficiency test. If he failed, no one would be able to bear the pressure except Xu Cang who had completely failed before.

Now Xu Cang felt some extra pressure on his shoulders, even though according to what Jin Fuli said, he was responsible for doing the chores of reading out the checklist.

When Jin Fuli saw Xu Cang's increasingly stern profile, he couldn't help but feel proud. With his sharp eyesight, he could immediately see that Xu Cang was a soft-hearted guy, and if he was to take advantage of it, he would have to be thoroughly touched.

"There isn't much time left, let's start with the cruise. I'll put the plane in the air, and you can prepare the panel. The destination is still Jianchuan Airport." Jin Fuli said: "Hurry up, don't think about wasting your time,

If it has not landed at the end, it is also considered unqualified.”

The student in the right seat was startled, and the action of setting the panel was a little faster. But whether it was due to time pressure, Xu Cang clearly saw in the left seat that there were problems with the positions of several switches.

Fortunately, the student on the right seat found the wrong switch during a second quick check after getting everything ready. Xu Cang breathed a sigh of relief.

At this point, Xu Cang was really speechless. When he was so sensitive, why did he ask a Boeing pilot to come up and cooperate? Isn't it just putting pressure on him out of thin air?

After waiting for less than five minutes, the co-pilot on the right seat prepared everything and reported to Jin Fuli.

Jin Fuli hummed, glanced at the side of Xu Cang's face, and said, "Then I'll unfreeze, let's start!"

As Jin Fuli pressed the unfreeze button, the simulator resumed operation, and the sound of the simulated engine running instantly filled the eardrums.

Xu Cang, whose scope of work was limited by Jin Fuli before he took the seat, was looking at his nose and heart, as if everything had nothing to do with him. He expected this, and he recited the checklist while the co-pilot safety in the right seat

Landed, passed inspection, everyone was happy.

But while he was still describing the happy ending in Xu Cang's mind, he suddenly felt his surroundings darken. Before he could figure out the situation, a continuous and repeated homophonic warning sounded in his ears.

"CRC warning?" Xu Cang was startled and quickly scanned the panel. He saw that many display devices had been extinguished, and even some of the lighted switches indicating the status of the aircraft looked dim.

Soon, the main warning light came on, and Xu Cang instinctively wanted to call up the system display page, which could show which system had a problem.

However, this action stopped immediately the moment he raised his right hand. It seemed that he was only responsible for reading the checklist and should not interfere with the troubleshooting of the right seat.

It's not that Xu Cang is cold-blooded, but this kind of behavior may arouse Jin Fuli's dissatisfaction, but it will harm the student on the right. Let's wait and see what happens, maybe the student on the right can handle it on his own!

Fortunately, the student on the right seat had the same idea as Xu Cang, and also wanted to bring up the system display page. But the moment he stretched out his hand, the GEN FAULT light and PACK FAULT light came on at the same time. Then, there was a continuous movement like a cavalry.

When it reached my ears, the main warning light that had just been reset began to flash again, and the ECAM popped up a red warning of AUTO FLT AP OFF.

"Autopilot disengaged!"

Xu Cang didn't even need to look at the ECAM. Just by hearing the sound, he knew that the ECAM was disengaged. However, the disengagement of autonomous driving is not scary in itself. The problem is what it means.

Perhaps the student in the right seat was not of a high level, and the two consecutive warnings made him a little flustered. He temporarily gave up calling up the system display page, and first prepared to turn off the main warning light and the CLR button on the ECAM control panel again to clear the ECAM status.

.

But when he was taking action, the plane began to lower its head spontaneously. The student's attention had been completely absorbed by the first two warnings, and he could not care about the changes in the status of the plane. Or to be precise, he couldn't care less.

, but it was not discovered at all.

This is a huge difference between senior pilots and rookie pilots. There is a huge difference in the allocation of attention.

The moment he noticed the aircraft lowering its head, Xu Cang's eyes were drawn to the engine data display. At this moment, the N1 speed of the aircraft was rapidly declining, and at the same time, the N2 speed was not immune.

This is not a good sign, because not one engine, but two engines behave like this.

"Both engines are not working?" Xu Cang's heart skipped a beat and he glanced at the co-pilot on the right seat in confusion. The project of two engines stalling should be prepared for pilots with high-level co-pilots and above. But from what just happened

Judging from the performance, it seems that the technical level of the right-hand passenger passenger is not very high.

Is Airbus's proficiency check so intense? A low-level co-pilot's proficiency check requires both engines to stall, which seems to be too much beyond Boeing's proficiency check.

As if to confirm Xu Cang's idea, after the flight management and guidance system detects engine failure, the system automatically calls up the performance page of the current flight stage. This process does not require pilot operation. But in some special circumstances, this

Such automated changes will not occur, such as before arriving at the diversion point during takeoff or if there is no EOSID procedure in the flight plan.

At the same time, the engine failure clearing option appears in the place corresponding to the right button, and the single-engine long-range cruise prompt appears in the second left button. It is just the single-engine drift speed calculated by the flight computer based on the aircraft performance for the pilot's reference.

However, this single-engine long-range cruise is not unchangeable. On the climb, cruise and descent performance pages, pilots can manually enter a cost index to override the computer-generated "EO LRC".

Of course, if the pilot does not like to use the relevant information, he can press the right button, which will clear all the information related to the engine failure, and then the EO information will be suppressed and the previous flight plan will be restored.

However, at a certain stage, such as an engine failure before taking off to the diversion point, the computer will generate a temporary flight plan for the pilot's reference. Some qualified companies will load the single-engine program of the relevant airport into the computer, so that

Once a single engine occurs during takeoff, the single engine program will pop up automatically. However, most companies are not so kind at this time, and most rely on manual input by pilots during preparation.

Logically speaking, with the aircraft's prompts reaching this level, the co-pilot in the right seat should be able to understand the current situation, right? But what surprised Xu Cang was that the student in the right seat was stunned when he looked at the engine failure information page that popped up.

Don't know how to act.

In the minds of many pilots, Airbus aircraft are indeed more automated than Boeing aircraft, and even a considerable number of Boeing pilots agree with this.

Among all the qualities possessed by Airbus pilots who play more of a role as monitors, analyzing abnormal information prompts generated by the aircraft is an important technical quality. However, the student in the right seat does not seem to have such an ability. At the beginning

, Xu Cang felt that he was a low-level co-pilot, perhaps the lowest level among low-level co-pilots, such as a trainee.

For a civil aviation pilot, the easiest time to fail the proficiency check is the first two times, because there is really no experience at all, and all kinds of low-level mistakes may occur. After that, as the number of times increases, the accumulated experience will start to take effect.

.

Fortunately, although the student in the right seat reacted a little slower, he was not blind after all. If he could not figure out the situation with so many prompts, he would have been stuck in the initial modification stage.

The dimming of the cockpit lights and the disengagement of the autopilot are just symptoms. The root cause is that the two engines have failed.

"Both engines stalled!" As if he had discovered some huge secret, the student on the right pointed at the engine data and excitedly showed off to Xu Cang.

The corner of Xu Cang's mouth twitched. This was really a huge discovery. However, Xu Cang did not show any expression of disgust. All pilots have to go through this stage. Instead, he pointed at the ECAM patiently: "Then just do it.

.”

To be honest, Airbus's ECAM, or Electronic Centralized Aircraft Monitor, is really easy to use. At least it's much more convenient than letting Boeing pilots make their own judgments and find manuals.

ECAM will continuously monitor various systems of the aircraft, such as engines, hydraulics, air conditioning, electricity, APU, etc. There are a total of thirteen pages, each page corresponding to a system. As long as there is a problem with that system, ECAM's warning and memo functions will

The faulty system will pop up, and the pilot can complete the corresponding processing according to the prompts.

However, just when the student in the right seat wanted to deal with it, the aircraft began to lower its head continuously because there was no power support. Xu Cang was also convinced. Is he really just caring about his head and not his butt, controlling ECAM and not caring about the status of the aircraft?

Xu Cang waited for a while. No matter what, the stability of the Airbus aircraft is still good. Even if both engines stall and nothing is done, the plane will not crash immediately, but you can't just let it go.

After waiting for a while, Xu Cang discovered that the guy on the right seat was really stubborn, with no attention span at all, and his eyeballs wanted to be fixed on the SD (system display).

Out of good intentions, Xu Cang, who was inconvenient to do it directly, coughed twice, trying to attract the attention of the seat on the right. As a result, Xu Cang's coughing sound did not alert the seat on the right, but was caught by Jin Fuli behind him.

.

Jin Fuli didn't say anything, but stretched out his foot and kicked the back of Xu Cang's chair. The meaning of this move was self-evident, and Xu Cang didn't dare to remind him anymore.

However, Xu Cang originally thought that the movement caused by Jin Fuli's kick was not small, and it should have some effect. However, the student on the right just raised his head and glanced at Xu Cang in confusion before retracting his gaze.

To be honest, a simulator is a simulator after all, and it is impossible to completely restore the real fault situation. At least when both engines are turned off, the aircraft's nose-down speed is slower than the real one. Such a small amplitude is difficult to allocate attention.

If you don't come here, it's really easy to be ignored by the body.

However, no matter how slow it is, we cannot let it go.

If this person is thinking hard, his field of vision will become narrower. He can clearly see the attitude indicator of the aircraft if he glances to the right, but this guy in the right seat is following a demon and only sees the ECAM warnings and memos.

Display, directly ignoring the outside world.

The two Airbus students standing in the back were almost crazy with anxiety. They were so anxious that they wanted to slap the student in the right seat. But no matter how anxious they were, they did not dare to act. If they did, Jin Fuli might have to do it.

Give each of them a slap in the face first.

Judging from Jin Fuli's kick to Xu Cang just now, his attitude has been very obvious, and he is determined not to let Xu Cang provide help. But with the plane flying like this, he just stared at the ECAM without caring about its status, and the only result was failure.

On the way, Xu Cang can't just sit idly by and do nothing, can he?

"Give it your all!"

This student is already stunned. It is impossible to expect him to discover the problem by himself. Anyway, continuing will be a "dead end", so he might as well take action himself. If Jin Fuli thinks that he has interfered too much and killed the student in the right seat, then he can only

He asked for it.

Xu Cang's mind changed, he cleared his throat, patted the student on the right seat who lowered his head, and said calmly in the doubtful eyes of the students: "You are responsible for handling ECAM, then I will take over the control."

As soon as he said this, Jin Fuli immediately raised his foot, but after thinking about it, he finally put it down.

As I reminded you for no reason just now, this time Xu Cang is considered to have a good reputation. In the division of labor in the cockpit during the special situation, there would originally be one pilot to deal with malfunctions and one pilot to control the aircraft. Xu Cang has finally found one.

Justifiable grounds for intervention.

Jin Fuli was still reasonable and did not force Xu Cang not to accept the manipulation.

Xu Cang originally thought that his act of taking over the control should be a warning to the student on the right, but the student on the right just said yes without even raising his head, which really made Xu Cang laugh out loud.

.

That is to say, his temper has changed a lot since he was reborn. Based on his previous temperament, it is really outrageous that he would attack such an unreasonable student without any hesitation.

However, Xu Cang still suppressed his anger, smoothly grabbed the side stick with his left hand, and began to adjust the attitude of the aircraft.

Xu Cang did not level the plane mindlessly. For both engines to stall, leveling was a very low-level action. Xu Cang, on the other hand, glanced at the total weight of the aircraft on the performance page and then reduced the attitude to a pitched down position.

1.5 degrees.

The Airbus students standing in the back were surprised that Xu Cang, a Boeing pilot, could control the Airbus aircraft seemingly freely, because the control methods of Airbus and Boeing are completely different. For example, a turning movement, in the control of a Boeing pilot

, they need to continue to maintain the slope after the pressure plate forms, otherwise the aircraft will easily deviate from the slope. However, after the Airbus pilot forms the required slope through the side stick, the aircraft will automatically maintain this slope until a new command is generated
