Chapter 85 Critical! Thunderstorm Surrounded by Lightning(2/2)
Until more than an hour, the captain could not hold it in his seat, so he slapped in his seat, coughed twice, and turned his head back: "Xu Cang, have you read that notice?"
The captain did not specify which announcement, but Xu Cang knew it in his heart, and just whispered: "I didn't read it, but I heard someone else say it."
At this time, the first co-pilot also turned around with a smile and asked Xu Cang: "Then is the fact that you are looking for the vice president of maintenance directly? I heard it is for 1566?"
When Xu Cang saw the smiling face of the first co-pilot, he felt uncomfortable. He didn't say anything, but nodded softly.
"1566?" The captain was still excited, and his smile on his face became even more serious: "I heard before that you were forced to transfer to a ground position by the company. All the routes were evaluated. As a result, you took off and wiped the tail of the plane during the evaluation. It was 1566 at that time, right? I said Xu Cang, you shouldn't find a reason to wipe the tail of the plane for yourself, right? Also, you wiped the tail of the plane, why did you still ask you to continue flying? What's the way?"
After saying that, the captain looked at each other with the first co-pilot, then laughed loudly. The cockpit was filled with a pleasant atmosphere, which was completely different from the dull feeling not long ago.
In this situation, even a person with a temper like Xu Cang began to turn gloomy.
The captain may have found that choreography of Xu Cang in this way is also an excellent way to enjoy the entertainment. Anyway, Xu Cang is just a second mate, so there is nothing to worry about at all.
"Xu Cang, I'm really wondering how you thought of going to find the vice president of maintenance directly." The captain grinned, looking quite interested: "Do you think the vice president of maintenance is idle or do you think you are very heavy? Don't get me wrong, I just understand your thinking process, because it's really hard for me to understand."
While the captain was talking, the first co-pilot also added: "I've seen this brain circuit for the first time."
After the two of them finished speaking, they burst into laughter again.
"Captain, is this really a funny thing?" Even though he knew that it was inappropriate to say this, Xu Cang still couldn't control himself: "I hope everyone can fly a safe plane. Is this really that funny?"
To be honest, Xu Cang didn't know that as a pilot, it was indeed a bit inappropriate to go directly to the vice president of maintenance. But compared to leaving hidden dangers to the pilots behind, he felt that it was nothing wrong with this.
If he reports layer by layer according to the normal process, he will not even be able to come out of the flight department.
As soon as these words were spoken, the captain immediately heard the dissatisfaction in Xu Cang's words, and also curled his smile and sneered: "It seems that you are not only not good at being a human being, but also not speaking. Your emotional intelligence is really low."
Many times, failure to follow established rules will be regarded as having low emotional intelligence. But is this really a golden rule that can be regarded as a treasure?
However, the captain's attention was quickly attracted by the first co-pilot. The first co-pilot pointed to a large area of weather on the navigation display and asked: "Brother, how do you look around in front?"
The captain glared at Xu Cang fiercely and withdrew his gaze, then looked at the weather display.
In meteorological radar, the front of the aircraft route is blocked by a large piece of bad weather. The weather is roughly in the shape of long strips running north and south, and it contains a large number of red dangerous areas, which is really not easy to circulate.
At this time, the meteorological radar has no automatic mode, so the pilot can only rely on manually changing the scanning angle of the meteorological radar to know the specific weather conditions.
The captain showed that he adjusted the scanning angle of zero degrees, so the originally large-scale weather disappeared a lot, which shows that most of the weather is below the plane, and there are not much weather at the same level as the plane or higher than the plane.
From this perspective, there was a trace of space for flying around the airspace that was originally blocked. Because there was a crack about five to ten nautical miles wide in the area on the right side of the route, which was different from other areas, red or yellow, and it was not displayed at all, and it was so clean.
The captain looked out and looked out. At this time, the plane was in the clouds and could not be seen by the naked eye. He gave up the idea of making decisions with the naked eye.
The captain was very democratic and pointed to the gap and asked the first co-pilot for comments: "Let's go around here, how about it?"
At present, this is indeed the only way to fly around. Of course, if you make up your mind to go around more, you can go around. However, this is not the same as it is.
In this case, the first co-pilot had no objection and agreed to the captain's opinion. Only Xu Cang felt a little problem behind him.
Such a big weather is obviously the kind of stage that has developed and matured, and it should have been completely connected. Why are there such clean gaps?
Seeing that the first co-pilot agreed, the captain did not make a decision immediately, but asked about the regional control in advance: "Wu City, is there any restrictions on the weather around the P37 ahead?"
"Let's go to the right, there's the penalty area on the left."
The captain's plan to fly around was to tilt the right, which was exactly what he wanted, just right: "Then can I fly a 300-round trip? It's about thirty nautical miles."
"Blue Sky 9211, do you want to pass through the weather from the 300 direction? I see that the front plane turned right and headed 350 direction around."
"Tail 350?" The captain thought about the weather display: "Tail 350, how far did they go?"
Heading 350 is to completely bypass the entire weather, not travel through it. But this weather is very big, how far does it take to completely bypass it?
Sure enough, the regional control side gave a pretty amazing number: "The front plane ran around almost 150 nautical miles!"
One hundred and fifty nautical miles, then it will take three hundred nautical miles back and forth, which is an exaggerated distance to fly around.
"When did the front plane pass?" the captain continued to ask.
"About twenty minutes."
"Twenty minutes." The captain thought about it, but still felt that he could not accept the course 350: "Wu City, if the course 350 is too far, and it is still in the lower division. If I go around now, I will probably have to go around 200 nautical miles. If this is too far, I may be nervous. I'd better fly to 300."
The reason why the control actively reminded Lantian 9211 was because he saw the course 300 from the radar, which should have weather. However, the meteorological radar they controlled was not as accurate as the unit, and everything was based on the unit's decision.
"The blue sky 9211 can fly to 300. However, if the flight is 300, it will only have ten degrees of maneuver left and right within 30 nautical miles, and there are small restriction areas on both sides. Is it acceptable?"
The captain thought about it: "Yes! I can guarantee that the maneuvering course is within ten degrees left and right. Wucheng City, then I will turn 300 now."
After the control agreed, the captain was about to change the course, and Xu Cang reminded him later: "Captain, why don't we turn to 350? Will the gap in front be a radar shadow?"
In some areas with extremely abundant precipitation, the signals from the meteorological radar cannot be reflected back, thus forming a shadow area. There is no weather display in this shadow area. It is not that there is no weather here, but that the weather here is too strong.
"Radar Shadow, what are you talking about?" The captain didn't even know the term radar Shadow, and was still complaining that Xu Cang was talking too much.
In fact, it is normal. In this era, the concept of shadows of meteorological radar is not clear, and many pilots do not know it.
Xu Cang immediately said, "Captain, I mean the weather may be stronger ahead, don't fly there."
"Then go around for two hundred nautical miles, and then the amount of oil is not enough?" The captain was obviously annoyed: "Xu Cang, just stay behind with the second mate, don't express some ignorant opinions in a self-righteous manner."
As he said that, the captain completely ignored Xu Cang's suggestion and turned the heading knob directly to 300.
In fact, Xu Cang himself was not sure whether the area in front was a radar shadow. What if it was a clean area developed after the front plane passed?
Moreover, flying around for 200 nautical miles in total, nearly 400 nautical miles will indeed cause great trouble to the aircraft's fuel volume. However, if Xu Cang was the captain, even if he was facing the problem of fuel volume, he would still choose to head 350. At worst, it would not be enough to prepare for landing.
Unfortunately, the captain was not him, so he couldn't make a decision.
When he was about to enter that airspace, Xu Cang adjusted his audio panel transmitter to the passenger radio, notifying the cabin that it was about to encounter bumps and let all the personnel in the cabin sit down.
This matter should have been from the captain, but Xu Cang saw that the captain had no such plan, so he had to prepare for the worst case.
Regarding Xu Cang's behavior of taking the initiative to do passenger radio, the captain only gave four words: "Mediating on other people's business."
No matter what the captain said, Xu Cangcai looked at the radar display intently. The wind barrier was still foggy and could not see anything clearly.
As the plane penetrated into the airspace, for some reason, it was still during the day, even if the clouds and mists were blocked, it was still bright. However, almost in an instant, day and night were reversed, and the outside world became dim in an instant.
Xu Cang's heart tightened, and a bad feeling instantly occupied his thoughts. The moment he wanted to shout for a return, the sky and the earth suddenly flashed, and the entire wind barrier was submerged in the unparalleled light.
The strong light reflected Xu Cang's pale and bloodless face, just like the desperate sound of the sky exploded in his ears!
Xu Cang's mind was gone: "It's over!"
