Jianchuan Aircraft Simulator Training Center, No. 23 737NG simulator.
Today is the proficiency check for Blue Sky Airlines chief pilot Wang Xuan's refresher training. For other ordinary pilots, this proficiency check should be taken seriously, because if you fail, you will not only have to be grounded, but also need to undergo various supplementary training.
After that, he will be listed as a key surveillance personnel for at least three months, which is quite troublesome.
However, Wang Xuan has never been worried about this. To be precise, as a company leader, no inspector would be stupid enough to betray his own chief pilot, especially for those young inspectors who have just taken up the position.
.
When you check other ordinary pilots, you are a selfless person. When you check the leader of the flight department, you are checking people and sophistication. Many people can still understand this.
The inspector who inspected Wang Xuan this time was hired just two days ago. An inspector with such qualifications was very respectful in front of Wang Xuan. People who didn't know better thought it was Wang Xuan inspecting him.
Due to the company's default rules, he even signed Wang Xuan's approval before the inspection even started, which can be said to be extremely true. What's more, what's even more terrible is that about half a month later, he himself will have to re-apply.
Training, and the inspector is Wang Xuan. Given various factors, how dare he not let Wang Xuan fail?
Although some of them seem dirty, the fact is that in all walks of life there are some customary rules that are independent of the rules, and many times these rules are contrary to the rules on the surface, but everyone turns a blind eye and turns a deaf ear.
Since this proficiency check is a complete formality, it is natural for Wang Xuanfei to do whatever he wants. Anyway, in this era, although the simulators also have video recordings, basically no one will check, and it is very lax.
Wang Xuan was stubborn and tried Xu Cang's operation on Feiyu Flight 6321 before landing several times. Still unable to achieve the effect he was satisfied with, he simply stopped trying. After trying a few more times, he felt that his
My mind is about to explode.
Wang Xuan directly pulled the seat back, pointed to the co-pilot, and let the co-pilot fly up and down by himself, while he lay down on the chair.
Such behavior did not arouse any scolding in the eyes of the inspector. Instead, he thought it was an extremely normal thing and even prepared to chat with Wang Xuan to liven up the atmosphere.
However, Wang Xuan was in a bad mood and was too lazy to waste time with the inspector. Instead, he asked a question that the inspector did not understand.
"Are there any inspectors who were found unqualified last year?" Wang Xuan asked.
The inspector was stunned and thought for a moment: "It seems that Teacher Zheng Yue did not meet the requirements and was investigated by the bureau. Mr. Wang, why are you asking this?"
The airline's inspectors must meet a certain number of failure rates every year, that is, they will fail the number of people who meet the standard. If there are fewer people who fail, the authority will have to investigate them. If they fail, the inspector's qualifications
will be revoked.
However, it is relatively simple for inspectors to arrest people, and the situation where not enough people are arrested is relatively rare.
"Zheng Yue?" The image of this good old man immediately appeared in Wang Xuan's mind. This so-called teacher Zheng Yue has a good temper and a soft heart, so in many inspections, he will basically not hang up people because of his personal likes and dislikes, and he has a standard
It's not particularly strict. As a result, the number of people accidentally hanging up is not up to standard.
"It's okay!" Wang Xuan did not answer the inspector clearly, but was about to close his eyes and rest.
The co-pilot next to him was flying up and down hard by himself. Looking at the leisurely and contented Wang Xuan, he couldn't help but feel envious.
Seeing that Wang Xuan wanted to rest, the inspector even thoughtfully prepared to dim the lights in the simulated cabin. However, just as Wang Xuan closed his eyes, he suddenly heard what sounded like an alarm.
"What's the sound?" He clearly felt that the entire simulated cabin was shaking.
The inspector was also very surprised. He got off his seat and looked outside through the peephole of the hatch. He was even more puzzled: "Mr. Wang, the ladder is down."
"What?" Wang Xuan sat up straight: "Why did you put the ladder up?"
"No, I didn't put it there." The inspector looked outside again: "Huh? It seems like someone from the Safety Supervision Department is outside."
"Ah? People from the Safety Supervision Department are here, are you going to conduct random checks on the simulator?" Although the restrictions on simulator training in this era are very loose, they don't ignore it completely.
The Safety Supervision Department and the Flight Department occasionally organize personnel to come to the simulator training center for surprise inspections to check whether the personnel are on duty, whether they have brought all their equipment and certificates, whether the training inspection items comply with the outline, etc.
However, even if it is said to be an indiscriminate random inspection, there is still a way to do it. People from the safety supervision department and the flight department will know the list of relevant personnel in advance during the inspection and try to avoid company leaders or senior instructors.
Wait, anyway, it’s just a matter of picking the weak ones, and those who are inspected are basically ordinary pilots with no power or background.
To be fair, it's not his first day as chief pilot. Is there anyone in the Safety Supervision Department who doesn't know about him?
With a sound of metal hitting, and a burst of footsteps, the door of the simulated cabin was opened, and two men came in. Wang Xuan looked at the cabin door and raised her eyebrows. She was really from the Safety Supervision Department.
"What are you doing here?" Wang Xuan was not afraid and asked calmly: "A checkup?"
One of the men saw Wang Xuan: "Mr. Wang, why don't you answer the phone?"
"What?" Wang Xuan frowned: "My mobile phone is turned off during training. What is going on?"
"Mr. Wang, not long ago, the radar signal of our company's flight 9211 disappeared in the Urumqi control area, and the control team could not contact the crew. We have been calling you just now, but no one answered." The people from the Safety Supervision Department looked over.
Eye Examiner and Co-Pilot: "Why can't you two get through on the phone?"
The inspector and the co-pilot had bitter expressions on their faces. How could they dare to use their mobile phones while training with someone like Wang Xuan?
Wang Xuan asked in disbelief: "You mean a plane from our company has disappeared?"
"Yes!" Someone from the Safety Supervision Department hurriedly said to Wang Xuan: "Mr. Wang, please come back to the company with me quickly. The working group of the Jianchuan Supervision Bureau is about to enter the company, and you need to go and make contact."
"So fast?" Wang Xuan quickly took off his seat belt. He knew that this matter was really shocking. If there was an accident, Blue Sky Airlines would probably close down due to its size.
Under the confused gazes of the inspector and the co-pilot, the people from the Safety Supervision Department and Wang Xuan quickly left the simulator center. Wang Xuan drove here by himself, and he asked another person from the Safety Supervision Department to open the company
He left a person from the Safety Supervision Department to sit in his car with him and explain the specific situation.
When walking to the parking position, Wang Xuan asked casually: "Who is the crew on the plane?"
The people from the Safety Supervision Department quickly replied: "The captain is Tan Heling, the first officer is Wang Tian, and the observer is Xu Cang!"
Wang Xuan's steps suddenly stopped and he turned to look at the people from the Safety Supervision Department: "Who do you think the observer is?"
In the cockpit of Lantian 9211, even Xu Cang was still immersed in the shock of the damage to the display screen and the degaussing of the water compass. As the first officer said, shortly before Xu Cang entered the cockpit, the aircraft seemed to have been hit again.
A lightning strike.
After the lightning strike, an abnormal white color began to appear on the display screen. He was not sure whether the water compass was degaussed because of this, because he did not continuously pay attention to the operation of the water compass.
After the first officer said this, everything made sense. When he was explaining things to Xia Shuyue just now, he encountered an extremely fierce lightning, and the thunder was also quite close. In this way, things became clear.
That's right, it's the thunder just now!
"Damn, why is everything broken?" Even someone as calm as Xu Cang felt extremely troubled at this time.
Now that the communication has failed, the navigation page on the display component screen cannot be used, and the only remaining original water compass has also been degaussed. Doesn't that mean they have lost all means of navigation?
Is it possible to return to the most primitive visual navigation?
However, the most important thing now is not the so-called navigation, but the engine!
"Captain, I just went to the cabin and heard a surging sound from the engine. I guess the engine won't last long. Put the throttle back and lower the altitude!" Xu Cang made a quick decision: "We have to take action!"
The first co-pilot said subconsciously: "If we lower the altitude, wouldn't it be easier for the plane to stall?"
"Engine surge has to be controlled by closing the throttle. We have no choice!" Xu Cang advised: "Captain, I can't wait any longer!"
"Didn't you just say that the control can't see us? Now that we lower the altitude, does it really have no impact?"
However, Xu Cang did not hesitate at all and said directly: "If the controllers can't see us, they will move all the nearby aircraft away. It has been a while now, enough time has passed for the controller to free up the airspace, and now there is a large area near us.
There will be no other aircraft in the area."
The captain was stunned, and suddenly felt that Xu Cang had really planned everything, taking into account all the factors that might affect the flight. With Xu Cang, he felt that he and the first co-pilot were idiots who didn't care about their heads.
The captain gritted his teeth and closed the throttle for nearly half of the journey, but not all the way. In such heavy rain conditions, holding the throttle to idle is not a good choice.
In the memory item of engine surge, it is only required that the throttle be reached to the appropriate position to stop the engine surge, and it is not mentioned that idle must be reached.
However, now that they do not have a DU display, they cannot judge from the N1 speed and EGT whether the engine is still surging after closing the throttle. But according to Xu Cang's experience, the throttle position received by the captain is also close to idle, so there is no need to overdo it.
Calculate.
As the plane descended, the captain looked at the palm-sized mechanical backup instrument. Because it was so small and the cockpit was so dark, it was difficult to see clearly. In the end, the first officer had to open it.
The captain had to shine the flashlight on his cell phone to see clearly.
It was obviously daytime, but the light was so thin, showing how thick the rain clouds were.
After the plane crossed 7,200 meters, the plane suddenly turned slightly to the left. This change was very slight, but Xu Cang caught it.
His heart skipped a beat, and he listened carefully, as if the sound of the engine seemed to be a little weaker.
"No, the No. 1 engine stalled!" Xu Cang's hair stood on end. Even if he was somewhat confident in his subsequent actions, it didn't mean that he wouldn't be indifferent to the engine stalling at this moment!
"Well, what did you say?" Since the throttle is set very low, even if one engine stalls, the inconsistency in the thrust generated is not very obvious. In addition, there is turbulence interference during the descent, so the captain actually stopped at the first place.
Time was not noticed.
The first officer's face turned pale. He heard what Xu Cang was saying. He pointed at Xu Cang blankly: "Brother, he just said that the No. 1 engine stalled."
"What?" the captain screamed, panicking, and immediately ordered the first officer: "Quick, start the APU again!"
The first co-pilot was about to pull down the APU starter switch with his left hand without thinking at all. However, as soon as he raised his left hand, Xu Cang suddenly shouted: "No!"
The first officer was scolded by Xu Cang and instinctively retracted his left hand. The captain was overwhelmed with anxiety at this moment. He was afraid that the other engine would also stall, so how could there be any delay?
"Xu Cang, you were the one who asked us to descend just now. Now you won't let us start the APU. What the hell do you want to do?" The captain roared angrily. He glared at the first officer: "What are you waiting for?
, start it quickly, can’t you hear me?”
However, Xu Cang stood up directly, grabbed the first officer's left wrist, and said coldly: "You can't think calmly now, and the plane can no longer be left to you alone."
As he said that, he looked at the first officer: "Get up!"
"This" the first officer suddenly fell into confusion. He never expected that at this juncture, the cockpit would be involved in a struggle for command.
