Return to 2000: Captain of the Great Powers
Chapter 326 Uncontrollable, Incomprehensible, Indescribable!
Chapter 326 Uncontrollable, Incomprehensible, Indescribable!
The operator of the deicing vehicle looked distressed: "Then shall I ask for instructions? If the higher-ups agree, I will release it again?"
At this time, Richard stepped forward and said bluntly: "No, you can release some now. If there is any problem, I will take responsibility."
Richard still has the right to speak in the field of civil aviation, especially as he is the actual leader of many European airlines and airport unions. This deicing vehicle operator knows Richard, so he keeps looking at Richard. De's face.
Seeing that Richard had said so, the operator hesitated for a while, but nodded: "That's fine!"
As he said that, he wanted to return to the operating table, but he just took two steps and remembered something: "Why go a little farther, this stuff doesn't taste very good."
Xu Cang frowned, didn't say anything, but took a few steps back.
In fact, two people are needed to operate the deicing vehicle, one of them is the driver, who is responsible for driving, and the other is the operator who talks to Xu Cang.
Due to the relatively high altitude of many aircraft, especially some heavy aircraft.When spraying anti-icing fluid, it is often necessary to spray the liquid to the entire surface of the fuselage, so at this time, the help of a ladder is needed.
That's right, the deicing truck is specially equipped with a ladder similar to a fire truck.The operator stands on this ladder to control the spraying of de-icing fluid.
But of course there was no need to raise the ladder this time.So, the operator got on the console of the aerial ladder, moved it a certain distance, the nozzle faced a drain, adjusted the flow, glanced at Xu Cang and Richard who had already gone away, and opened the valve.
In an instant, a small amount of misty liquid comes out of the nozzle.
According to Xu Cang, the operator closed the valve less than two seconds after the anti-icing fluid came out.
As the operator said, this stuff has a strong smell, even from a long distance.Xu Cang took a sniff. He didn't frown because of the pungent smell, but because the smell was the smell of standard SAE Type [-] anti-icing fluid.
The composition of the anti-icing fluid is generally the same, but the ratio of the proportion is not the same, which leads to the different smell of the anti-icing fluid.If there is a slight problem with the ratio or the ingredients are wrong, the smell will also change.
Xu Cang's memory is very good. He can clearly distinguish the smell of SAE Type [-] anti-icing fluid, which is completely consistent with the smell of the liquid released just now.
"No problem?" Xu Cang pursed his lips, then looked at the innocent operator, wondering if he was too suspicious.
"No problem? That's no problem?" Richard was taken aback, and suddenly thought of a possibility: "Can you smell it?"
"You can't smell it?" Xu Cang left this sentence, stepped forward, and stood still not far from the drain, staring intently at the anti-icing fluid flowing outward.
There are some tiny foams on the surface of the anti-icing fluid, which are transparent at first glance, but when you look closely, under the reflection of sunlight, you can find that the anti-icing fluid is actually light green in color.
"There's no problem with the color." Xu Cang rubbed his fingers unconsciously.
Of course, just the color and smell cannot fully prove that the anti-icing fluid is not a problem.However, if you want to get to the bottom of it, you have to be busy. Xu Cang doesn't have the time or the leisure to do this kind of thing.
Raising his head, Xu Cang looked at the operating console of the deicing truck.In addition to a dial that controls the up, down, left, and right movement and spraying of the ladder, there are two nozzles on it. The previous anti-icing fluid came out of one of the nozzles.
Xu Cang pointed to another nozzle: "That one sprays deicing fluid?"
"That's right." The operator nodded and pointed to the two nozzles respectively: "This one is for spraying deicing fluid, and this one is for spraying anti-icing fluid."
There are actually two types of deicing fluid, deicing fluid and anti-icing fluid.However, the deicing fluid only has a deicing effect, so for Xu Cang, there is basically nothing worth paying attention to.Now Munich is not under icing conditions. Except for some frosts caused by overnight stays on the plane, it is actually not necessary to spray deicing fluid. What is really important is anti-icing fluid.
This is almost as he expected, and in this case, maybe it is really possible that he is wrong.
Xu Cang didn't worry about it any more, and nodded to the operator, "Excuse me, did you spray the anti-icing fluid together later?"
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm just afraid of being punished by the airport, otherwise I'd have shown it to you." The operator hurriedly waved his hand: "That's right, there is a thin layer of dust on the top of the fuselage and some wings. Frost, it’s better to spray it with deicing fluid.”
"De-icing fluid, that's fine." Xu Cang slightly nodded as he said, "Then I'll trouble you, give me enough spray."
The operator pointed to an airport ground officer standing in the distance: "Someone is watching, I must have sprayed you enough."
Xu Cang looked in the direction the operator pointed, and sure enough, he saw a person wearing a light-emitting vest at the corner of the airfield, who should be a role similar to the airfield supervisor.
"Well, it's troublesome." Xu Cang hummed, then left, and walked towards the passenger elevator.
Richard followed immediately: "No problem?"
"It should be fine." Xu Cang carried his bag and got on the plane. This time it was not a regular flight. In addition to some necessary documents and EASA's special approval documents, he needed to bring an earphone and a flashlight, so Xu Cang didn't bother to bring one. Here comes the box.
As Xu Cang guessed, EASA will not stop Xu Cang at all.Their bureau is also trapped in that manor, life and death are unknown, they may be more anxious than Xu Cang.
As a result, Xu Cang's application had just been sent, and within half an hour, the approval document from EASA came down.Now the airspace up to [-] feet above the entire Alps is a no-fly zone, without a single plane, and EASA does not even need to carry out airspace deployment, so the approval speed is naturally fast.
They even said that not only the flight approval, EASA also specifically asked Xu Cang if there was anything they needed to cooperate with.
However, this kind of thing is Xu Cang's own personal heroism, and EASA can't help at all.However, in order to make the best use of everything, Xu Cang made an agreement with EASA in advance. In order to prevent some unexpected situations, he asked EASA to communicate with Innsbruck, Turin, Milan and Zurich airports in advance, requiring these The airport is always ready to accept their alternate landing.
The original plan was that if there was any problem midway and the landing was abandoned, the plane would return to Munich.However, man is not as good as heaven. Who knows what will happen to the complicated situation in the Alps. If he can't return to Munich, he can only adapt to the situation.
The airports that Xu Cang told EASA were the nearest airports near the flight route.Xu Cang has only one request, as long as he wants, all nearby airports must be able to accept him.
Moreover, compared to the previous Boeing 531 of British Airways Flight 777, the CS300 is much smaller in size and does not have high requirements for airports. The airports mentioned by Xu Cang can all land without any problem.
In fact, it is not a question of whether the airport will accept or not.Instead, those airports were too close to the Alps, and many of them were closed due to the wind and snow.Xu Cang just wanted to pass EASA, so these airports should be guaranteed to be staffed on duty within two hours after dawn. Even if the airports are closed, minimum guarantees should be guaranteed.
In fact, Richard did a lot of work on this matter.
The airport is closed but the staff are on duty, which in itself is an act of overtime, and overtime is a sensitive topic here in Europe.Don't look at what CAAC says in China, but what EASA says in European airports is not the same.
If this is not done well, EASA will also get into labor arbitration trouble.
In the end, it was Richard who personally communicated with the labor unions of those airports, and the matter was settled.No way, Richard is also on the plane, which means that the boss of the union is on it. For this alone, the unions at the airports still have to give some green light.
"There shouldn't be a problem." Richard followed behind Xu Cang, chattering and saying: "These deicing fluids are transferred from the outside, and they must have been checked. How could there be a problem?"
The two sat in the cockpit, Xu Cang was on the left and Richard was on the right.When plugging in the earphones, Xu Cang looked out through the windshield: "It's too quiet, it's so quiet."
"Quiet?" Richard was startled, and soon understood Xu Cang's meaning: "You mean those people didn't do anything?"
Previously, at Xu Cang's request, Richard arranged secret security personnel for Xu Cang in private.However, the night was calm, without Tokyo at all, and there was no sign of the dangerous behavior Xu Cang expected against him.
Richard also plugged in the earphones: "Perhaps, you are really thinking too much? Just like the anti-icing fluid just now. The world may still be better."
"Then you mean that my mind is dark?" Xu Cang joked: "Maybe I really have too much malice towards this world."
Xu Cang put his right hand on the CDU and hesitated for a moment.Seeing Xu Cang's movements, Richard smiled and said, "Can't fight?"
"Things were more complicated than I expected, took more time to deal with other things, the manual was just a cursory scan, about the flight management computer... I remember..."
In Xu Cang's plan, twelve hours is enough for him to do a lot of things, but it is obvious that his plan did not develop in the direction he envisioned, at least he spent too much time and energy thinking about the 180 people. The employee's affairs prevented him from reviewing the content of some key systems.
Although FMC's typing methods are similar, if you haven't tried it at all, it still takes a while to get used to it.Of course, these are small problems, and small problems can naturally be left to Richard.
"You don't need to remember, let me do it." Richard typed the CDU smoothly, looking quite proficient.
"Did you fly the CS300, or only the simulator?"
The CS300 is not only a very new model, but also extremely rare in number. There should be very few people with the qualifications for this type of aircraft, and Richard is quite busy with his affairs, so why would he go out of his way to obtain the qualifications for this rare aircraft?
"If there is no accident, I am the pilot with the longest experience of this model except for the test pilot. I have been flying this aircraft since it was commercialized." Richard said while typing CDU: "In civil aviation, if you want to lead others, you must first convince others technically, otherwise, some people will think you are a bureaucrat. Remember, if you want to make civil aviation, especially flying people, technology is everything Hard indicators. If you want to know the models that others know, you should also know the models that others don’t know.”
"I've come to the point where it's time to look for a successor, but none of them are convincing. Some things can be taught and some things can't, like technology."
When it came to the end, Richard just finished typing the last data, and then looked at Xu Cang, his meaning was self-evident.
Xu Cang was fiddling with the switch on the panel: "I also have many models that don't know it, such as... McDonnell Douglas... MD11?"
"McDonald? Those junk planes don't matter, it's no big deal." Richard pouted: "But it doesn't matter. I heard that MD11 will stop production this year. If it doesn't, then it won't."
Xu Cang didn't really want to continue this topic. He hadn't made up his mind about whether to take over the International Federation of Airline Pilots Association. Talking too much about things he didn't think about would make him feel confused.
Richard is also quite sensible, and it can be seen that Xu Cang doesn't want to pay attention to this topic, so let's stop.
Xu Cang glanced at the lower panel, and couldn't help but marvel at the modern design of Bombardier's cockpit.
Because the style of CS300 is biased towards Airbus, the cockpit is as spacious as Airbus, and there are no prominent P6 and P18 boards.The display screen in the cockpit is larger than that of the 737. Since Xu Cang has seen the 737MAX, the size and distribution of the display screen of the CS300 aircraft are more similar to the 737MAX.
And like the side stick control of Airbus, the CS300 aircraft is also controlled by the side stick, which is not difficult for Xu Cang who is familiar with the A320 aircraft.Xu Cang personally doesn't like the sidestick control method, the reason is an unpleasant experience in aviation school.
In the instrument rating stage of the aviation school, Xu Cangfei did not fly the Cessna with the steering wheel, but the DA20 with the mid-range.
The so-called middle pole is actually not much different from the side pole.The only difference is in the position, the center pole is between the driver's legs.
When he was flying an instrument rating subject, the DA20 propeller he was driving once broke while flying.Due to the asymmetry of the blades, the plane vibrated and almost fell apart. Xu Cang had no choice but to turn off the engine.
That flight was Xu Cang's solo flight, and it was also the first time he encountered a special situation.For a student pilot who has just obtained a private license, this experience is obviously too exciting.
Although Xu Cang finally landed without any risk, Xu Cang refused to use the DA20 aircraft afterwards.It is also for this reason that Xu Cang doesn't like the way the steering column is operated.If Xu Cang hadn't been too eye-catching during the private photo session, otherwise the Flight Academy would not have agreed to change the model.
It is also for this reason that Xu Cang still chooses to stay at Boeing when he can choose the aircraft type now.
However, for most pilots, the human-computer interaction system of the CS300 aircraft is quite perfect.As Xu Cang believes, the CS300 aircraft only needs an opportunity, and at the same time needs to solve its own fatal shortcomings, otherwise the CS300 will be strangled by the throat.
This is not an official flight, so there are not many things to prepare.Within 10 minutes, everything was ready, but there were still footsteps outside the cockpit, which were the footsteps of the loaders who were carrying supplies.
This CS300 has not been modified by a cargo plane, and the cabin cannot be opened, and materials can only be carried into the cabin by manpower.However, large items have already been loaded into the cargo hold via the conveyor belt, and only some fragmentary, relatively light items have been placed into the passenger compartment.
At this time, all the seats in the passenger cabin have been removed, and the cabin is empty. Some of the loading personnel are responsible for carrying and some are responsible for fixing. The division of labor is clear and the speed is quite fast.
"The shipment has already started before you came here. Everything in the cargo hold has been loaded, and now only the cabin is left. It seems that the difference is not too much." Richard said: "Xu Cang, although I believe that you will not be aimless, but I really want to know how you plan to solve the problem of landing distance. I still can't imagine that I can complete a safe landing on a 600-[-]-meter runway where the snow thickness seriously exceeds the standard. As your co-pilot, I think you should have a certain right to know."
Xu Cang rested his right hand on the thrust handle, and pondered for a moment: "The wind at Zhuangzhuang Airport is very strong, which can be exploited."
"I know that the wind is very strong over there, otherwise the helicopter and small fixed-wing aircraft will not be able to fall. I even heard that the rescue team considered airdrops at first. However, the wind is too strong here, and it is impossible to accurately calculate the landing point The manor airport is surrounded by cliffs, as long as the drop point is not on the field, it will not be picked up at all. Moreover, the warm clothes worn by the people in the manor cannot support them to go out for a long time, and there is no possibility of going out for a long time to search. "
"The wind I'm talking about is not the kind of chaotic airflow with an indeterminate direction, but a steady wind." As he spoke, Xu Cang looked ahead of his eyes and gestured to the people standing in front of the nose, signaling them to disperse and wait. When the person walked away, Xu Cang turned on the weather radar and adjusted the radar angle to positive five degrees.
The reason for adjusting the radar angle to positive five degrees is to eliminate the influence of terrain echo.
At this time, the nose of the plane happened to be facing the Alps, and the radar range was adjusted to the maximum range of 360 nautical miles, and a huge cyclone was soon displayed on the navigation page.
"Look!" Xu Cang immediately created a point A in the navigation database according to the longitude and latitude in memory, and the coordinates of this point A are the coordinates of Zhuangyuan Airport.
At this moment, the Manor Airport was almost at the center of the cyclone, which was a coincidence.
"The runway of the Manor Airport is 09/27, which is east-west. According to the satellite cloud image, the cyclone is turning clockwise, and its direction of travel is from south to north. According to the previous average moving speed, about half an hour later, the cyclone The southern inner circle below will be cut at Manor Airport. At this time, when approaching from runway 09, a huge and relatively stable headwind will be formed. I have checked the relevant meteorological data, and the wind speed in the inner circle of the cyclone should be around About [-] kilometers per hour, after terrain reduction, the actual local wind speed should be [-] kilometers per hour."
From the weather radar, the cyclone over the Alps is actually a concentric circle, and there is actually no echo in its center, and what Xu Cang is actually waiting for is the time when the lower part of the inner circle cuts through the field.
In fact, since the inner circle of the cyclone cuts across the field, approaching from No. 09 will be headwind for a long time.However, the closer to the cyclone's periphery, the wind speed became stronger and more chaotic.Only the cyclone in the inner ring area is relatively stable and the wind speed is controllable.
It can only be said that the timing of the cyclone passing the airport is relatively good.If it was earlier, and the sky was still dark, without the help of light, Xu Cang would not be willing to do such dangerous operations in the dark.But if it was later, Xu Cang's state might not be able to maintain.After all, Xu Cang hadn't closed his eyes for a long time. He was human, and he couldn't stand not sleeping for too long.
"Two hundred kilometers per hour against the wind?" Richard was taken aback: "What do you mean, shouldn't it be?"
Who is Richard? As soon as Xu Cang mentioned Dingfeng, he could make a guess.
"Under the action of a stable and strong headwind, the aircraft can reach a critical state where the surface speed is sufficient but the ground speed is infinitely small. In this case, the aircraft can approach normally, but the braking distance for the final touchdown will be very small." Xu Xu Cang explained: "However, this time point is not easy to grasp. We must ensure that we land when the inner circle cuts through the field. At that time, the field is almost only facing the wind. Later, the cyclone moves north, and the airflow in this field will It will become more and more unstable, and there will be extremely strong crosswinds. The aircraft can handle the headwind, but it can easily lose the crosswind. So we only have one chance."
Richard touched his chin, his face was very strange.What Xu Cang said was exactly what he expected, and this kind of thing is theoretically feasible.
The principle of aircraft flight is the pressure difference generated by the airflow over the wing surface.The movement of this airflow is relative, whether it is the movement of the aircraft, the flow of air, or both, as long as there is a relative flow, that is enough.
The wind tunnel test on the ground is the principle.
As long as the headwind is strong enough, the aircraft can maintain a small actual speed. In a sense, it is really similar to a wind tunnel.
"It seems to be feasible in theory." Richard's mouth twitched: "However, this kind of thing is different in theory from reality."
"It's nothing different." Xu Cang said indifferently.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Richard was taken aback.
Xu Cang said calmly: "I mean this is not a theoretical thing."
"Isn't it a theoretical thing?" Richard reacted for a while, and then focused his eyes on Xu Cang: "Isn't it?"
Xu Cang nodded naturally: "That's right, I tried it, and I survived."
Yi Feng and Xiao Lingyun stood together on the hillside outside Erhai Chunxia Aviation Base.Facing the breeze, the two looked at the non-stop airport runway not far away, and couldn't help feeling deeply moved.
"More than a year ago, it was a civilian airport that no one cared about, but now it is so lively." Yi Feng pointed to the new base of Spring and Summer Airlines: "It should have been the base land reserved for us, but I didn't expect it to be here." developed like this."
Xiao Lingyun squinted his eyes, the place was facing the sun, so he couldn't see things clearly.
I saw Xiao Lingyun talking towards a construction site next to the new base: "I heard that a simulator training center will be built there?"
"Well, Xu Cang has already agreed with Muhua Aviation that he will borrow the license of the Muhua Aviation Simulator Training Center. As for the simulator, there is no need to buy it. Before, the scrapped 1566 was refitted to be a good simulator. When the training center is built, the simulator transformation is almost finished."
Xiao Lingyun smiled and said, "He really wants to dabble in everything."
"No." Yi Feng shook his head: "Now is a good time to arrange flight training. Pilot students have begun to be scarce, and with the increase of flight personnel, training facilities will also become scarce. Without tightening the regulations on simulators, Xu Cang entered the game at this time, and the cost is not very high, so there is a lot to do."
Xiao Lingyun raised his eyebrows: "Then according to what you mean, another training center will be built in the future?"
"That's natural!" Yi Feng said: "This simulator center is a shared license plate of Muhua Airlines. When our own simulator center license comes down later, we should build a bigger simulator training center in Jianchuan. Center, there may be related training bases for flight attendants. This one here can only be regarded as testing the waters, to understand the operation method in advance."
"Xu Cang intends to integrate businesses. If you say so, the aviation sector is too big."
"That's right. In the vision of Cangqing Group in the future, although the aviation sector is a pillar business, it does exceed other sectors by too much. This is not a good thing. When Xu Cang comes back, the plan of Cangqing Group needs to be revised." Yi Feng said, as if thinking of something: "By the way, is your insurance company in Shekou still operating? Are you busy at both ends, can you come over?"
"What's too busy?" Xiao Lingyun said with a smile: "There are not many customers over there, but Xu Cang is my biggest customer, so I just send someone to watch over it, and you don't need to bother me usually. It's still Xu Cang The things here are interesting, and it’s not my own money if I lose money, so I don’t feel bad about it.”
Yi Feng laughed: "If Xu Cang hears this, I don't know what he will think."
"What ideas does he have? Just talking, I'm making money now." Xiao Lingyun patted Yi Feng on the shoulder: "Recently, the company may be giving out red envelopes."
Yi Feng raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean, you made a lot of money?"
"It's not a lot of money, just pocket money." Xiao Lingyun said with a smile: "Xu Cang asked me to keep an eye on Korean Air's stock before. As a result, after Muhua Airlines reported that it had cut off its international business cooperation with Asiana Airlines, Korean Air The stock of airlines has been rising all the way, and the outside world is very optimistic that Korean Air will take over Asiana Airlines. We have made a lot of money in this wave. Now Korean Air has officially proposed to acquire Asiana Airlines, and Korean Air’s The stock has also reached its highest point, and it will be ready to harvest again soon.”
As he said, Xiao Lingyun pushed Yi Feng with his elbow: "Mr. Yi, Korean Air should be safe. Don't let Korean Air eat up Asiana Airlines in the end, so let's not talk about red envelopes, I'm afraid It’s about deducting bonuses.”
Yi Feng chuckled: "Don't worry, it's very safe. Just wait for Korean Air's stock to plummet. However, there is one thing I have to remind you, keep your hands and feet under cover, and don't let the Korean financial department think that you are manipulating the stock market and getting into trouble." It's not good."
To be honest, Xiao Lingyun's operation of Korean Air eating two fish is a bit too sharp.If it is not done well, it is really possible to be targeted by the financial sector and be suspected of manipulating the stock market.
However, Xiao Lingyun didn't take it seriously: "Don't worry, it's just a trivial matter, it won't happen. By the way, how can you be sure that the Civil Aviation Administration of Korea will issue a characterization of the Minzhuang air crash in the near future? Don't be afraid that the Korean Air gang will be in the middle." Play some clever tricks, after all, there are many precedents in South Korea."
Yi Feng turned his head: "The most common reason for people to help another person is that after helping others, they will gain benefits, which is the so-called altruism, which is also self-interested. Otherwise, this help will not exist. Under such circumstances, playing tricks and tricks will lead to self-destruction."
Xiao Lingyun was stunned for a moment: "It seems that Mr. Yi has already caught the way of Korean Air?"
Yi Feng smiled contemptuously: "The president of Asiana Airlines is really a frank person, he has provided a lot of information."
In the airspace not far above Munich Airport, a CS300 loaded with supplies is flying towards the Alps.In the cockpit, Richard was manipulating the plane, while Xu Cang was resting with his eyes closed.
At this time, the plane was still some distance away from the cyclone area, but obvious turbulence could already be felt.However, this degree of turbulence is still within the controllable range for Richard. When the plane is close enough to the cyclone area, the control of the plane will be handed over to Xu Cang.
"B1437, at your two o'clock direction, there is a weather balloon at an altitude of [-] feet, pay attention to observation, please strictly maintain the heading altitude." The voice of the Munich area control came over the radio.
"Got it!" Richard replied.
B1437 is not the flight number, but the machine number of this plane.Because this is not a commercial flight, naturally there is no flight number, and the call sign is replaced by the aircraft number.
"B1437, it is expected to enter the no-fly zone in 1 minutes. After entering the no-fly zone, the altitude and heading can be determined by itself, and there is no need to actively notify."
In fact, once you enter the no-fly zone, you almost enter the cyclone zone. At that time, the airflow will be extremely unstable, and it is difficult for the aircraft to strictly maintain the heading and altitude.The control knew this in advance, and directly clarified it with Richard and Xu Cang.
"Got it, B1437."
"B1437, if possible, please avoid the two points of longitude 35 degrees 47 minutes east, latitude 27 degrees 32 minutes north and longitude 47 degrees 22 minutes east, latitude [-] degrees [-] minutes north."
Richard entered these two points according to the instructions of the controller, and the formed points coincided with Innsbruck and Zurich Airport.This time, Richard somewhat understood the meaning of control.
The so-called special circumstances probably only refer to the situation of crashing, which means that if they want to die, they will die elsewhere, instead of crashing into Innsbruck and Zurich.
These two airports are relatively closer, and the rest of Turin and Milan are slightly farther away, and there is a high probability that they will not fall to those two airports.
Richard gave a wry smile, the controllers were really considerate, they even thought about the places to avoid when the crash occurred.Although this is not unreasonable, the words sound harsh.
Richard had a relatively good temper, and coughed twice: "Got it."
The controller may also know that he said too much: "Sorry, you know this is not my original intention."
Richard didn't answer this sentence, but quickly pressed the speaking button to indicate that he understood.Then, I tried to connect to the automatic driving again, but it still failed.
That's right, in this area, the automatic driving can no longer be connected, which shows how turbulent the airflow is.You know, there is still a 10-minute flight from the real turbulence area!
However, even so, Richard was more than capable.He wanted to pick up the autopilot just to be lazy, and it didn't matter if he could pick it up or not.
I have to say that Richard's technique is quite powerful.Changing such a big turbulence would have been a bit of a hassle for an ordinary captain, but it was still easy for Richard. He even had the energy to glance at Xu Cang, as if he had something to say.
After a while, the turbulence became wilder as the plane approached the cyclonic area.Richard also restrained his contempt a little bit, and took a little seriously, but the hesitant look still didn't disappear.
"If you want to say it, say it, don't want mother-in-law and mother." Xu Cang closed his eyes, and suddenly said this.
Richard did not expect that Xu Cang knew that he was looking at him. He was startled by the voice, and the plane immediately lost its stability.However, Richard was very skillful, and it took half a minute to stabilize the plane again.
"Xu Cang, I thought of something just now." Richard said with some confusion.
Xu Cang folded his arms, eyes still closed: "Say!"
"You mean that the wind speed in the inner circle of the cyclone is relatively low and relatively stable. What about the outer circle, what about the wind in the outer layer?" Richard swallowed: "How much wind speed can it reach there?"
Xu Cang slowly opened his eyes and looked at the navigation page.Before takeoff, they printed two lines on the waypoint page to mark the boundaries of the no-fly zone.At this moment, the plane was not far from the no-fly zone, about a dozen nautical miles away.
After passing the no-fly zone, that is the airspace affected by the cyclone.
"You mean the wind speed here?" Xu Cang pointed to the outer spiral arm of the weather radar cyclone image on the navigation page: "You mean here?"
Richard nodded: "Yes."
"It's estimated to reach [-] kilometers per hour. I'm not sure. I won't know until I go in."
"Five hundred kilometers per hour." Richard took a deep breath: "What I mean is, if we want to enter the inner circle or approach the field, we need to pass through the outer circle first."
Xu Cang looked at Richard: "That's what it means."
Richard licked his lower lip: "Is that possible, us?"
"Can't you wear it?" Xu Cang took the second half of Richard's sentence directly.
It's not just Richard, Xu Cang also mentioned this issue when he was on the phone with Bi Lin.Bi Lin expressed concern about Xu Cang's ability to pass through the strong wind belt outside, and Richard also had the same concerns at the moment.
At this time, the plane was approaching the border of the no-fly zone, Xu Cang instinctively grasped the sidestick with his left hand: "Report first, we will cross the border of the restricted area immediately."
Richard pursed his lips, and didn't say anything more about crossing the periphery of the cyclone, but glanced at Xu Cang's left hand holding the side stick: "Are you manipulating?"
Xu Cang hummed: "Take control!"
Like Airbus, if both sides are operated together, the input will be offset and superimposed, which is more dangerous.Therefore, after seeing Xu Cang holding the sidestick, Richard first transferred the control to Xu Cang.
"Hand over control." Richard nodded, then pressed the radio button: "B"
But at the moment when the first letter was said, Xu Cang just clenched the sidestick with his left hand, and the plane was completely overturned to the left without warning, and the magnitude was so large that the plane immediately issued a slope warning.
Almost instantly, the slope of the plane directly increased to more than forty degrees.
Xu Cang's whole body tensed up. The sudden airflow was too violent. He reacted immediately, wanting to push the plane back down.However, Richard suddenly discovered that the nose of the plane started to deviate to the right strangely.
"This" Richard has been flying for so many years, and has never seen such a strange sight.Without any human control input, the plane spontaneously rolled to the left, and then the nose yawed to the right. What kind of weird attitude is this?
However, as the nose of the plane turned to the right, Richard suddenly found that the indication of the plane's sideslip indicator became more and more obvious, which indicated that the sideslip of the plane was increasing.
"Xu Cang, skidding, skidding, the plane is going to flip over!" Richard suddenly shouted.
The large slope increases the sideslip, and this obviously abnormal attitude continues to deteriorate. After such a development, the aircraft will roll over.
Xu Cang's face was extremely solemn at the moment, he just found that the right pressure plate was not in control at all, that is to say, he couldn't correct the left slope of the plane.But following Richard's reminder, Xu Cang also found that the plane was entering an incomprehensible state in an incomprehensible situation.
"Damn it!" Although Xu Cang didn't know whether it was caused by the plane or the environment, intuitively speaking, it was caused by the airflow outside.
They have already approached or reached the outer edge of the cyclone area, but the outer area is already so terrifying, wouldn't it be death if they flew forward?
However, the attitude change of the aircraft is secondary.
Suddenly, Richard's eyes fell on the altimeter, and he suddenly found that the altitude of the plane was falling rapidly, and the rate of descent even exceeded [-] feet per minute.
"Not good! The plane is falling rapidly!" Richard shouted immediately: "Altitude, altitude!"
Xu Cang is currently concentrating all his energy on correcting the plane, not paying much attention to the altimeter, but focusing on the attitude indicator.Hearing Richard's reminder, he almost reflexively wanted to take the stick. However, he suddenly realized a problem. According to the attitude of the plane, it is absolutely impossible for the plane to fall.
So what did Richard mean?
Xu Cang's mind froze slightly, and before he could react to what was going on, he heard Richard shouting eagerly again: "Xu Cang, speed, speed!"
Xu Cang's eyes were slightly concentrated, and when his gaze finally deviated from the attitude indicator and landed on the airspeed indicator, his face suddenly became tense.
Under the circumstances that he couldn't understand, the speed value on the airspeed indicator was decreasing rapidly like diving, and it was about to touch the red and black belt of the stall.
The plane's slope could not be corrected, the nose turned to the right side strangely, the side slip continued to increase, and the height and speed decreased uncontrollably. All these things kept impacting Xu Cang's brain.
"What exactly is going on?"
At this moment, compared to the extremely critical situation in the air, Munich Airport is relatively calm, with a rather calm atmosphere.
In an unnoticed corner of the airfield, a bloated middle-aged man handed a cigarette to a staff member in orange overalls and a reflective vest opposite him.
There is also an icon of Munich Airport on the back of the overalls, which should be the staff of the airport.
The staff member hesitated for a while, but still took the cigarette, but instead of smoking it, he kept holding it.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man smiled and said, "No?"
The staff member nodded: "Not much."
"Not in the habit?"
"No." The staff member scratched his head: "The salary is too low, it's better not to get into this habit."
"Afraid you don't have enough money for cigarettes? Hahaha!" The middle-aged man laughed heartily, taking out a bank card from his pocket and throwing it to the staff: "All the money is in it, and the password is six ones."
The staff hurriedly took the bank card, carefully put it in the pocket of the jacket, and hurriedly thanked the middle-aged man.
Compared with the staff's habit of not smoking, the middle-aged people are smoking, so happy.
Taking another deep breath, the middle-aged man suddenly asked, "Is everything going smoothly?"
The staff nodded vigorously: "There is absolutely no problem, and no one will find out."
"So sure?" The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows and asked quite interestingly.
"I put some anti-icing fluid in the back. If I check afterwards, the amount of anti-icing fluid and deicing fluid will be roughly equal, and I will definitely not be able to find fault."
"Hey, good, good, good." The middle-aged man patted the staff on the shoulder: "The boy is very smart, not bad. You want to take this money and resign?"
"No!" The staff member shook his head: "If I resign at this time, it would be too obvious. I don't have to resign, it's still the same as before, they can't find a reason."
The middle-aged man's eyes lit up: "You are very courageous, you don't even run away, are you sure you are fine?"
The staff nodded heavily: "There must be no problem."
"Okay!" The middle-aged man was quite satisfied: "It doesn't matter, you want to leave or stay with you, it's just a matter of meeting between you and me, a matter of trading."
"Understood, understood! It never happened."
"Well, not bad!" The middle-aged man stamped out the cigarette butt: "Okay, let's go!"
The staff carefully grasped the pocket where the bank card was stored, and planned to leave.But within two steps, a middle-aged man's voice suddenly came from behind: "Has he ever been suspicious?"
The staff paused and turned around: "He asked me to release some anti-icing fluid, probably to determine whether the anti-icing fluid is SAE type [-] or not."
The middle-aged man was taken aback, and then laughed loudly: "Who would foolishly touch the anti-icing fluid directly? Isn't the remaining anti-icing fluid the most direct evidence? They say he is very smart, and he looks good. That's it. , it's okay, let's go."
The middle-aged man waved his hand, indicating that the staff could leave.
The staff member bent down to the middle-aged man, then turned around, revealing an extremely honest and honest face.
If Xu Cang were here, he would definitely be able to tell who this person was.
It was the operator of the previous deicing vehicle!
(End of this chapter)
The operator of the deicing vehicle looked distressed: "Then shall I ask for instructions? If the higher-ups agree, I will release it again?"
At this time, Richard stepped forward and said bluntly: "No, you can release some now. If there is any problem, I will take responsibility."
Richard still has the right to speak in the field of civil aviation, especially as he is the actual leader of many European airlines and airport unions. This deicing vehicle operator knows Richard, so he keeps looking at Richard. De's face.
Seeing that Richard had said so, the operator hesitated for a while, but nodded: "That's fine!"
As he said that, he wanted to return to the operating table, but he just took two steps and remembered something: "Why go a little farther, this stuff doesn't taste very good."
Xu Cang frowned, didn't say anything, but took a few steps back.
In fact, two people are needed to operate the deicing vehicle, one of them is the driver, who is responsible for driving, and the other is the operator who talks to Xu Cang.
Due to the relatively high altitude of many aircraft, especially some heavy aircraft.When spraying anti-icing fluid, it is often necessary to spray the liquid to the entire surface of the fuselage, so at this time, the help of a ladder is needed.
That's right, the deicing truck is specially equipped with a ladder similar to a fire truck.The operator stands on this ladder to control the spraying of de-icing fluid.
But of course there was no need to raise the ladder this time.So, the operator got on the console of the aerial ladder, moved it a certain distance, the nozzle faced a drain, adjusted the flow, glanced at Xu Cang and Richard who had already gone away, and opened the valve.
In an instant, a small amount of misty liquid comes out of the nozzle.
According to Xu Cang, the operator closed the valve less than two seconds after the anti-icing fluid came out.
As the operator said, this stuff has a strong smell, even from a long distance.Xu Cang took a sniff. He didn't frown because of the pungent smell, but because the smell was the smell of standard SAE Type [-] anti-icing fluid.
The composition of the anti-icing fluid is generally the same, but the ratio of the proportion is not the same, which leads to the different smell of the anti-icing fluid.If there is a slight problem with the ratio or the ingredients are wrong, the smell will also change.
Xu Cang's memory is very good. He can clearly distinguish the smell of SAE Type [-] anti-icing fluid, which is completely consistent with the smell of the liquid released just now.
"No problem?" Xu Cang pursed his lips, then looked at the innocent operator, wondering if he was too suspicious.
"No problem? That's no problem?" Richard was taken aback, and suddenly thought of a possibility: "Can you smell it?"
"You can't smell it?" Xu Cang left this sentence, stepped forward, and stood still not far from the drain, staring intently at the anti-icing fluid flowing outward.
There are some tiny foams on the surface of the anti-icing fluid, which are transparent at first glance, but when you look closely, under the reflection of sunlight, you can find that the anti-icing fluid is actually light green in color.
"There's no problem with the color." Xu Cang rubbed his fingers unconsciously.
Of course, just the color and smell cannot fully prove that the anti-icing fluid is not a problem.However, if you want to get to the bottom of it, you have to be busy. Xu Cang doesn't have the time or the leisure to do this kind of thing.
Raising his head, Xu Cang looked at the operating console of the deicing truck.In addition to a dial that controls the up, down, left, and right movement and spraying of the ladder, there are two nozzles on it. The previous anti-icing fluid came out of one of the nozzles.
Xu Cang pointed to another nozzle: "That one sprays deicing fluid?"
"That's right." The operator nodded and pointed to the two nozzles respectively: "This one is for spraying deicing fluid, and this one is for spraying anti-icing fluid."
There are actually two types of deicing fluid, deicing fluid and anti-icing fluid.However, the deicing fluid only has a deicing effect, so for Xu Cang, there is basically nothing worth paying attention to.Now Munich is not under icing conditions. Except for some frosts caused by overnight stays on the plane, it is actually not necessary to spray deicing fluid. What is really important is anti-icing fluid.
This is almost as he expected, and in this case, maybe it is really possible that he is wrong.
Xu Cang didn't worry about it any more, and nodded to the operator, "Excuse me, did you spray the anti-icing fluid together later?"
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm just afraid of being punished by the airport, otherwise I'd have shown it to you." The operator hurriedly waved his hand: "That's right, there is a thin layer of dust on the top of the fuselage and some wings. Frost, it’s better to spray it with deicing fluid.”
"De-icing fluid, that's fine." Xu Cang slightly nodded as he said, "Then I'll trouble you, give me enough spray."
The operator pointed to an airport ground officer standing in the distance: "Someone is watching, I must have sprayed you enough."
Xu Cang looked in the direction the operator pointed, and sure enough, he saw a person wearing a light-emitting vest at the corner of the airfield, who should be a role similar to the airfield supervisor.
"Well, it's troublesome." Xu Cang hummed, then left, and walked towards the passenger elevator.
Richard followed immediately: "No problem?"
"It should be fine." Xu Cang carried his bag and got on the plane. This time it was not a regular flight. In addition to some necessary documents and EASA's special approval documents, he needed to bring an earphone and a flashlight, so Xu Cang didn't bother to bring one. Here comes the box.
As Xu Cang guessed, EASA will not stop Xu Cang at all.Their bureau is also trapped in that manor, life and death are unknown, they may be more anxious than Xu Cang.
As a result, Xu Cang's application had just been sent, and within half an hour, the approval document from EASA came down.Now the airspace up to [-] feet above the entire Alps is a no-fly zone, without a single plane, and EASA does not even need to carry out airspace deployment, so the approval speed is naturally fast.
They even said that not only the flight approval, EASA also specifically asked Xu Cang if there was anything they needed to cooperate with.
However, this kind of thing is Xu Cang's own personal heroism, and EASA can't help at all.However, in order to make the best use of everything, Xu Cang made an agreement with EASA in advance. In order to prevent some unexpected situations, he asked EASA to communicate with Innsbruck, Turin, Milan and Zurich airports in advance, requiring these The airport is always ready to accept their alternate landing.
The original plan was that if there was any problem midway and the landing was abandoned, the plane would return to Munich.However, man is not as good as heaven. Who knows what will happen to the complicated situation in the Alps. If he can't return to Munich, he can only adapt to the situation.
The airports that Xu Cang told EASA were the nearest airports near the flight route.Xu Cang has only one request, as long as he wants, all nearby airports must be able to accept him.
Moreover, compared to the previous Boeing 531 of British Airways Flight 777, the CS300 is much smaller in size and does not have high requirements for airports. The airports mentioned by Xu Cang can all land without any problem.
In fact, it is not a question of whether the airport will accept or not.Instead, those airports were too close to the Alps, and many of them were closed due to the wind and snow.Xu Cang just wanted to pass EASA, so these airports should be guaranteed to be staffed on duty within two hours after dawn. Even if the airports are closed, minimum guarantees should be guaranteed.
In fact, Richard did a lot of work on this matter.
The airport is closed but the staff are on duty, which in itself is an act of overtime, and overtime is a sensitive topic here in Europe.Don't look at what CAAC says in China, but what EASA says in European airports is not the same.
If this is not done well, EASA will also get into labor arbitration trouble.
In the end, it was Richard who personally communicated with the labor unions of those airports, and the matter was settled.No way, Richard is also on the plane, which means that the boss of the union is on it. For this alone, the unions at the airports still have to give some green light.
"There shouldn't be a problem." Richard followed behind Xu Cang, chattering and saying: "These deicing fluids are transferred from the outside, and they must have been checked. How could there be a problem?"
The two sat in the cockpit, Xu Cang was on the left and Richard was on the right.When plugging in the earphones, Xu Cang looked out through the windshield: "It's too quiet, it's so quiet."
"Quiet?" Richard was startled, and soon understood Xu Cang's meaning: "You mean those people didn't do anything?"
Previously, at Xu Cang's request, Richard arranged secret security personnel for Xu Cang in private.However, the night was calm, without Tokyo at all, and there was no sign of the dangerous behavior Xu Cang expected against him.
Richard also plugged in the earphones: "Perhaps, you are really thinking too much? Just like the anti-icing fluid just now. The world may still be better."
"Then you mean that my mind is dark?" Xu Cang joked: "Maybe I really have too much malice towards this world."
Xu Cang put his right hand on the CDU and hesitated for a moment.Seeing Xu Cang's movements, Richard smiled and said, "Can't fight?"
"Things were more complicated than I expected, took more time to deal with other things, the manual was just a cursory scan, about the flight management computer... I remember..."
In Xu Cang's plan, twelve hours is enough for him to do a lot of things, but it is obvious that his plan did not develop in the direction he envisioned, at least he spent too much time and energy thinking about the 180 people. The employee's affairs prevented him from reviewing the content of some key systems.
Although FMC's typing methods are similar, if you haven't tried it at all, it still takes a while to get used to it.Of course, these are small problems, and small problems can naturally be left to Richard.
"You don't need to remember, let me do it." Richard typed the CDU smoothly, looking quite proficient.
"Did you fly the CS300, or only the simulator?"
The CS300 is not only a very new model, but also extremely rare in number. There should be very few people with the qualifications for this type of aircraft, and Richard is quite busy with his affairs, so why would he go out of his way to obtain the qualifications for this rare aircraft?
"If there is no accident, I am the pilot with the longest experience of this model except for the test pilot. I have been flying this aircraft since it was commercialized." Richard said while typing CDU: "In civil aviation, if you want to lead others, you must first convince others technically, otherwise, some people will think you are a bureaucrat. Remember, if you want to make civil aviation, especially flying people, technology is everything Hard indicators. If you want to know the models that others know, you should also know the models that others don’t know.”
"I've come to the point where it's time to look for a successor, but none of them are convincing. Some things can be taught and some things can't, like technology."
When it came to the end, Richard just finished typing the last data, and then looked at Xu Cang, his meaning was self-evident.
Xu Cang was fiddling with the switch on the panel: "I also have many models that don't know it, such as... McDonnell Douglas... MD11?"
"McDonald? Those junk planes don't matter, it's no big deal." Richard pouted: "But it doesn't matter. I heard that MD11 will stop production this year. If it doesn't, then it won't."
Xu Cang didn't really want to continue this topic. He hadn't made up his mind about whether to take over the International Federation of Airline Pilots Association. Talking too much about things he didn't think about would make him feel confused.
Richard is also quite sensible, and it can be seen that Xu Cang doesn't want to pay attention to this topic, so let's stop.
Xu Cang glanced at the lower panel, and couldn't help but marvel at the modern design of Bombardier's cockpit.
Because the style of CS300 is biased towards Airbus, the cockpit is as spacious as Airbus, and there are no prominent P6 and P18 boards.The display screen in the cockpit is larger than that of the 737. Since Xu Cang has seen the 737MAX, the size and distribution of the display screen of the CS300 aircraft are more similar to the 737MAX.
And like the side stick control of Airbus, the CS300 aircraft is also controlled by the side stick, which is not difficult for Xu Cang who is familiar with the A320 aircraft.Xu Cang personally doesn't like the sidestick control method, the reason is an unpleasant experience in aviation school.
In the instrument rating stage of the aviation school, Xu Cangfei did not fly the Cessna with the steering wheel, but the DA20 with the mid-range.
The so-called middle pole is actually not much different from the side pole.The only difference is in the position, the center pole is between the driver's legs.
When he was flying an instrument rating subject, the DA20 propeller he was driving once broke while flying.Due to the asymmetry of the blades, the plane vibrated and almost fell apart. Xu Cang had no choice but to turn off the engine.
That flight was Xu Cang's solo flight, and it was also the first time he encountered a special situation.For a student pilot who has just obtained a private license, this experience is obviously too exciting.
Although Xu Cang finally landed without any risk, Xu Cang refused to use the DA20 aircraft afterwards.It is also for this reason that Xu Cang doesn't like the way the steering column is operated.If Xu Cang hadn't been too eye-catching during the private photo session, otherwise the Flight Academy would not have agreed to change the model.
It is also for this reason that Xu Cang still chooses to stay at Boeing when he can choose the aircraft type now.
However, for most pilots, the human-computer interaction system of the CS300 aircraft is quite perfect.As Xu Cang believes, the CS300 aircraft only needs an opportunity, and at the same time needs to solve its own fatal shortcomings, otherwise the CS300 will be strangled by the throat.
This is not an official flight, so there are not many things to prepare.Within 10 minutes, everything was ready, but there were still footsteps outside the cockpit, which were the footsteps of the loaders who were carrying supplies.
This CS300 has not been modified by a cargo plane, and the cabin cannot be opened, and materials can only be carried into the cabin by manpower.However, large items have already been loaded into the cargo hold via the conveyor belt, and only some fragmentary, relatively light items have been placed into the passenger compartment.
At this time, all the seats in the passenger cabin have been removed, and the cabin is empty. Some of the loading personnel are responsible for carrying and some are responsible for fixing. The division of labor is clear and the speed is quite fast.
"The shipment has already started before you came here. Everything in the cargo hold has been loaded, and now only the cabin is left. It seems that the difference is not too much." Richard said: "Xu Cang, although I believe that you will not be aimless, but I really want to know how you plan to solve the problem of landing distance. I still can't imagine that I can complete a safe landing on a 600-[-]-meter runway where the snow thickness seriously exceeds the standard. As your co-pilot, I think you should have a certain right to know."
Xu Cang rested his right hand on the thrust handle, and pondered for a moment: "The wind at Zhuangzhuang Airport is very strong, which can be exploited."
"I know that the wind is very strong over there, otherwise the helicopter and small fixed-wing aircraft will not be able to fall. I even heard that the rescue team considered airdrops at first. However, the wind is too strong here, and it is impossible to accurately calculate the landing point The manor airport is surrounded by cliffs, as long as the drop point is not on the field, it will not be picked up at all. Moreover, the warm clothes worn by the people in the manor cannot support them to go out for a long time, and there is no possibility of going out for a long time to search. "
"The wind I'm talking about is not the kind of chaotic airflow with an indeterminate direction, but a steady wind." As he spoke, Xu Cang looked ahead of his eyes and gestured to the people standing in front of the nose, signaling them to disperse and wait. When the person walked away, Xu Cang turned on the weather radar and adjusted the radar angle to positive five degrees.
The reason for adjusting the radar angle to positive five degrees is to eliminate the influence of terrain echo.
At this time, the nose of the plane happened to be facing the Alps, and the radar range was adjusted to the maximum range of 360 nautical miles, and a huge cyclone was soon displayed on the navigation page.
"Look!" Xu Cang immediately created a point A in the navigation database according to the longitude and latitude in memory, and the coordinates of this point A are the coordinates of Zhuangyuan Airport.
At this moment, the Manor Airport was almost at the center of the cyclone, which was a coincidence.
"The runway of the Manor Airport is 09/27, which is east-west. According to the satellite cloud image, the cyclone is turning clockwise, and its direction of travel is from south to north. According to the previous average moving speed, about half an hour later, the cyclone The southern inner circle below will be cut at Manor Airport. At this time, when approaching from runway 09, a huge and relatively stable headwind will be formed. I have checked the relevant meteorological data, and the wind speed in the inner circle of the cyclone should be around About [-] kilometers per hour, after terrain reduction, the actual local wind speed should be [-] kilometers per hour."
From the weather radar, the cyclone over the Alps is actually a concentric circle, and there is actually no echo in its center, and what Xu Cang is actually waiting for is the time when the lower part of the inner circle cuts through the field.
In fact, since the inner circle of the cyclone cuts across the field, approaching from No. 09 will be headwind for a long time.However, the closer to the cyclone's periphery, the wind speed became stronger and more chaotic.Only the cyclone in the inner ring area is relatively stable and the wind speed is controllable.
It can only be said that the timing of the cyclone passing the airport is relatively good.If it was earlier, and the sky was still dark, without the help of light, Xu Cang would not be willing to do such dangerous operations in the dark.But if it was later, Xu Cang's state might not be able to maintain.After all, Xu Cang hadn't closed his eyes for a long time. He was human, and he couldn't stand not sleeping for too long.
"Two hundred kilometers per hour against the wind?" Richard was taken aback: "What do you mean, shouldn't it be?"
Who is Richard? As soon as Xu Cang mentioned Dingfeng, he could make a guess.
"Under the action of a stable and strong headwind, the aircraft can reach a critical state where the surface speed is sufficient but the ground speed is infinitely small. In this case, the aircraft can approach normally, but the braking distance for the final touchdown will be very small." Xu Xu Cang explained: "However, this time point is not easy to grasp. We must ensure that we land when the inner circle cuts through the field. At that time, the field is almost only facing the wind. Later, the cyclone moves north, and the airflow in this field will It will become more and more unstable, and there will be extremely strong crosswinds. The aircraft can handle the headwind, but it can easily lose the crosswind. So we only have one chance."
Richard touched his chin, his face was very strange.What Xu Cang said was exactly what he expected, and this kind of thing is theoretically feasible.
The principle of aircraft flight is the pressure difference generated by the airflow over the wing surface.The movement of this airflow is relative, whether it is the movement of the aircraft, the flow of air, or both, as long as there is a relative flow, that is enough.
The wind tunnel test on the ground is the principle.
As long as the headwind is strong enough, the aircraft can maintain a small actual speed. In a sense, it is really similar to a wind tunnel.
"It seems to be feasible in theory." Richard's mouth twitched: "However, this kind of thing is different in theory from reality."
"It's nothing different." Xu Cang said indifferently.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Richard was taken aback.
Xu Cang said calmly: "I mean this is not a theoretical thing."
"Isn't it a theoretical thing?" Richard reacted for a while, and then focused his eyes on Xu Cang: "Isn't it?"
Xu Cang nodded naturally: "That's right, I tried it, and I survived."
Yi Feng and Xiao Lingyun stood together on the hillside outside Erhai Chunxia Aviation Base.Facing the breeze, the two looked at the non-stop airport runway not far away, and couldn't help feeling deeply moved.
"More than a year ago, it was a civilian airport that no one cared about, but now it is so lively." Yi Feng pointed to the new base of Spring and Summer Airlines: "It should have been the base land reserved for us, but I didn't expect it to be here." developed like this."
Xiao Lingyun squinted his eyes, the place was facing the sun, so he couldn't see things clearly.
I saw Xiao Lingyun talking towards a construction site next to the new base: "I heard that a simulator training center will be built there?"
"Well, Xu Cang has already agreed with Muhua Aviation that he will borrow the license of the Muhua Aviation Simulator Training Center. As for the simulator, there is no need to buy it. Before, the scrapped 1566 was refitted to be a good simulator. When the training center is built, the simulator transformation is almost finished."
Xiao Lingyun smiled and said, "He really wants to dabble in everything."
"No." Yi Feng shook his head: "Now is a good time to arrange flight training. Pilot students have begun to be scarce, and with the increase of flight personnel, training facilities will also become scarce. Without tightening the regulations on simulators, Xu Cang entered the game at this time, and the cost is not very high, so there is a lot to do."
Xiao Lingyun raised his eyebrows: "Then according to what you mean, another training center will be built in the future?"
"That's natural!" Yi Feng said: "This simulator center is a shared license plate of Muhua Airlines. When our own simulator center license comes down later, we should build a bigger simulator training center in Jianchuan. Center, there may be related training bases for flight attendants. This one here can only be regarded as testing the waters, to understand the operation method in advance."
"Xu Cang intends to integrate businesses. If you say so, the aviation sector is too big."
"That's right. In the vision of Cangqing Group in the future, although the aviation sector is a pillar business, it does exceed other sectors by too much. This is not a good thing. When Xu Cang comes back, the plan of Cangqing Group needs to be revised." Yi Feng said, as if thinking of something: "By the way, is your insurance company in Shekou still operating? Are you busy at both ends, can you come over?"
"What's too busy?" Xiao Lingyun said with a smile: "There are not many customers over there, but Xu Cang is my biggest customer, so I just send someone to watch over it, and you don't need to bother me usually. It's still Xu Cang The things here are interesting, and it’s not my own money if I lose money, so I don’t feel bad about it.”
Yi Feng laughed: "If Xu Cang hears this, I don't know what he will think."
"What ideas does he have? Just talking, I'm making money now." Xiao Lingyun patted Yi Feng on the shoulder: "Recently, the company may be giving out red envelopes."
Yi Feng raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean, you made a lot of money?"
"It's not a lot of money, just pocket money." Xiao Lingyun said with a smile: "Xu Cang asked me to keep an eye on Korean Air's stock before. As a result, after Muhua Airlines reported that it had cut off its international business cooperation with Asiana Airlines, Korean Air The stock of airlines has been rising all the way, and the outside world is very optimistic that Korean Air will take over Asiana Airlines. We have made a lot of money in this wave. Now Korean Air has officially proposed to acquire Asiana Airlines, and Korean Air’s The stock has also reached its highest point, and it will be ready to harvest again soon.”
As he said, Xiao Lingyun pushed Yi Feng with his elbow: "Mr. Yi, Korean Air should be safe. Don't let Korean Air eat up Asiana Airlines in the end, so let's not talk about red envelopes, I'm afraid It’s about deducting bonuses.”
Yi Feng chuckled: "Don't worry, it's very safe. Just wait for Korean Air's stock to plummet. However, there is one thing I have to remind you, keep your hands and feet under cover, and don't let the Korean financial department think that you are manipulating the stock market and getting into trouble." It's not good."
To be honest, Xiao Lingyun's operation of Korean Air eating two fish is a bit too sharp.If it is not done well, it is really possible to be targeted by the financial sector and be suspected of manipulating the stock market.
However, Xiao Lingyun didn't take it seriously: "Don't worry, it's just a trivial matter, it won't happen. By the way, how can you be sure that the Civil Aviation Administration of Korea will issue a characterization of the Minzhuang air crash in the near future? Don't be afraid that the Korean Air gang will be in the middle." Play some clever tricks, after all, there are many precedents in South Korea."
Yi Feng turned his head: "The most common reason for people to help another person is that after helping others, they will gain benefits, which is the so-called altruism, which is also self-interested. Otherwise, this help will not exist. Under such circumstances, playing tricks and tricks will lead to self-destruction."
Xiao Lingyun was stunned for a moment: "It seems that Mr. Yi has already caught the way of Korean Air?"
Yi Feng smiled contemptuously: "The president of Asiana Airlines is really a frank person, he has provided a lot of information."
In the airspace not far above Munich Airport, a CS300 loaded with supplies is flying towards the Alps.In the cockpit, Richard was manipulating the plane, while Xu Cang was resting with his eyes closed.
At this time, the plane was still some distance away from the cyclone area, but obvious turbulence could already be felt.However, this degree of turbulence is still within the controllable range for Richard. When the plane is close enough to the cyclone area, the control of the plane will be handed over to Xu Cang.
"B1437, at your two o'clock direction, there is a weather balloon at an altitude of [-] feet, pay attention to observation, please strictly maintain the heading altitude." The voice of the Munich area control came over the radio.
"Got it!" Richard replied.
B1437 is not the flight number, but the machine number of this plane.Because this is not a commercial flight, naturally there is no flight number, and the call sign is replaced by the aircraft number.
"B1437, it is expected to enter the no-fly zone in 1 minutes. After entering the no-fly zone, the altitude and heading can be determined by itself, and there is no need to actively notify."
In fact, once you enter the no-fly zone, you almost enter the cyclone zone. At that time, the airflow will be extremely unstable, and it is difficult for the aircraft to strictly maintain the heading and altitude.The control knew this in advance, and directly clarified it with Richard and Xu Cang.
"Got it, B1437."
"B1437, if possible, please avoid the two points of longitude 35 degrees 47 minutes east, latitude 27 degrees 32 minutes north and longitude 47 degrees 22 minutes east, latitude [-] degrees [-] minutes north."
Richard entered these two points according to the instructions of the controller, and the formed points coincided with Innsbruck and Zurich Airport.This time, Richard somewhat understood the meaning of control.
The so-called special circumstances probably only refer to the situation of crashing, which means that if they want to die, they will die elsewhere, instead of crashing into Innsbruck and Zurich.
These two airports are relatively closer, and the rest of Turin and Milan are slightly farther away, and there is a high probability that they will not fall to those two airports.
Richard gave a wry smile, the controllers were really considerate, they even thought about the places to avoid when the crash occurred.Although this is not unreasonable, the words sound harsh.
Richard had a relatively good temper, and coughed twice: "Got it."
The controller may also know that he said too much: "Sorry, you know this is not my original intention."
Richard didn't answer this sentence, but quickly pressed the speaking button to indicate that he understood.Then, I tried to connect to the automatic driving again, but it still failed.
That's right, in this area, the automatic driving can no longer be connected, which shows how turbulent the airflow is.You know, there is still a 10-minute flight from the real turbulence area!
However, even so, Richard was more than capable.He wanted to pick up the autopilot just to be lazy, and it didn't matter if he could pick it up or not.
I have to say that Richard's technique is quite powerful.Changing such a big turbulence would have been a bit of a hassle for an ordinary captain, but it was still easy for Richard. He even had the energy to glance at Xu Cang, as if he had something to say.
After a while, the turbulence became wilder as the plane approached the cyclonic area.Richard also restrained his contempt a little bit, and took a little seriously, but the hesitant look still didn't disappear.
"If you want to say it, say it, don't want mother-in-law and mother." Xu Cang closed his eyes, and suddenly said this.
Richard did not expect that Xu Cang knew that he was looking at him. He was startled by the voice, and the plane immediately lost its stability.However, Richard was very skillful, and it took half a minute to stabilize the plane again.
"Xu Cang, I thought of something just now." Richard said with some confusion.
Xu Cang folded his arms, eyes still closed: "Say!"
"You mean that the wind speed in the inner circle of the cyclone is relatively low and relatively stable. What about the outer circle, what about the wind in the outer layer?" Richard swallowed: "How much wind speed can it reach there?"
Xu Cang slowly opened his eyes and looked at the navigation page.Before takeoff, they printed two lines on the waypoint page to mark the boundaries of the no-fly zone.At this moment, the plane was not far from the no-fly zone, about a dozen nautical miles away.
After passing the no-fly zone, that is the airspace affected by the cyclone.
"You mean the wind speed here?" Xu Cang pointed to the outer spiral arm of the weather radar cyclone image on the navigation page: "You mean here?"
Richard nodded: "Yes."
"It's estimated to reach [-] kilometers per hour. I'm not sure. I won't know until I go in."
"Five hundred kilometers per hour." Richard took a deep breath: "What I mean is, if we want to enter the inner circle or approach the field, we need to pass through the outer circle first."
Xu Cang looked at Richard: "That's what it means."
Richard licked his lower lip: "Is that possible, us?"
"Can't you wear it?" Xu Cang took the second half of Richard's sentence directly.
It's not just Richard, Xu Cang also mentioned this issue when he was on the phone with Bi Lin.Bi Lin expressed concern about Xu Cang's ability to pass through the strong wind belt outside, and Richard also had the same concerns at the moment.
At this time, the plane was approaching the border of the no-fly zone, Xu Cang instinctively grasped the sidestick with his left hand: "Report first, we will cross the border of the restricted area immediately."
Richard pursed his lips, and didn't say anything more about crossing the periphery of the cyclone, but glanced at Xu Cang's left hand holding the side stick: "Are you manipulating?"
Xu Cang hummed: "Take control!"
Like Airbus, if both sides are operated together, the input will be offset and superimposed, which is more dangerous.Therefore, after seeing Xu Cang holding the sidestick, Richard first transferred the control to Xu Cang.
"Hand over control." Richard nodded, then pressed the radio button: "B"
But at the moment when the first letter was said, Xu Cang just clenched the sidestick with his left hand, and the plane was completely overturned to the left without warning, and the magnitude was so large that the plane immediately issued a slope warning.
Almost instantly, the slope of the plane directly increased to more than forty degrees.
Xu Cang's whole body tensed up. The sudden airflow was too violent. He reacted immediately, wanting to push the plane back down.However, Richard suddenly discovered that the nose of the plane started to deviate to the right strangely.
"This" Richard has been flying for so many years, and has never seen such a strange sight.Without any human control input, the plane spontaneously rolled to the left, and then the nose yawed to the right. What kind of weird attitude is this?
However, as the nose of the plane turned to the right, Richard suddenly found that the indication of the plane's sideslip indicator became more and more obvious, which indicated that the sideslip of the plane was increasing.
"Xu Cang, skidding, skidding, the plane is going to flip over!" Richard suddenly shouted.
The large slope increases the sideslip, and this obviously abnormal attitude continues to deteriorate. After such a development, the aircraft will roll over.
Xu Cang's face was extremely solemn at the moment, he just found that the right pressure plate was not in control at all, that is to say, he couldn't correct the left slope of the plane.But following Richard's reminder, Xu Cang also found that the plane was entering an incomprehensible state in an incomprehensible situation.
"Damn it!" Although Xu Cang didn't know whether it was caused by the plane or the environment, intuitively speaking, it was caused by the airflow outside.
They have already approached or reached the outer edge of the cyclone area, but the outer area is already so terrifying, wouldn't it be death if they flew forward?
However, the attitude change of the aircraft is secondary.
Suddenly, Richard's eyes fell on the altimeter, and he suddenly found that the altitude of the plane was falling rapidly, and the rate of descent even exceeded [-] feet per minute.
"Not good! The plane is falling rapidly!" Richard shouted immediately: "Altitude, altitude!"
Xu Cang is currently concentrating all his energy on correcting the plane, not paying much attention to the altimeter, but focusing on the attitude indicator.Hearing Richard's reminder, he almost reflexively wanted to take the stick. However, he suddenly realized a problem. According to the attitude of the plane, it is absolutely impossible for the plane to fall.
So what did Richard mean?
Xu Cang's mind froze slightly, and before he could react to what was going on, he heard Richard shouting eagerly again: "Xu Cang, speed, speed!"
Xu Cang's eyes were slightly concentrated, and when his gaze finally deviated from the attitude indicator and landed on the airspeed indicator, his face suddenly became tense.
Under the circumstances that he couldn't understand, the speed value on the airspeed indicator was decreasing rapidly like diving, and it was about to touch the red and black belt of the stall.
The plane's slope could not be corrected, the nose turned to the right side strangely, the side slip continued to increase, and the height and speed decreased uncontrollably. All these things kept impacting Xu Cang's brain.
"What exactly is going on?"
At this moment, compared to the extremely critical situation in the air, Munich Airport is relatively calm, with a rather calm atmosphere.
In an unnoticed corner of the airfield, a bloated middle-aged man handed a cigarette to a staff member in orange overalls and a reflective vest opposite him.
There is also an icon of Munich Airport on the back of the overalls, which should be the staff of the airport.
The staff member hesitated for a while, but still took the cigarette, but instead of smoking it, he kept holding it.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man smiled and said, "No?"
The staff member nodded: "Not much."
"Not in the habit?"
"No." The staff member scratched his head: "The salary is too low, it's better not to get into this habit."
"Afraid you don't have enough money for cigarettes? Hahaha!" The middle-aged man laughed heartily, taking out a bank card from his pocket and throwing it to the staff: "All the money is in it, and the password is six ones."
The staff hurriedly took the bank card, carefully put it in the pocket of the jacket, and hurriedly thanked the middle-aged man.
Compared with the staff's habit of not smoking, the middle-aged people are smoking, so happy.
Taking another deep breath, the middle-aged man suddenly asked, "Is everything going smoothly?"
The staff nodded vigorously: "There is absolutely no problem, and no one will find out."
"So sure?" The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows and asked quite interestingly.
"I put some anti-icing fluid in the back. If I check afterwards, the amount of anti-icing fluid and deicing fluid will be roughly equal, and I will definitely not be able to find fault."
"Hey, good, good, good." The middle-aged man patted the staff on the shoulder: "The boy is very smart, not bad. You want to take this money and resign?"
"No!" The staff member shook his head: "If I resign at this time, it would be too obvious. I don't have to resign, it's still the same as before, they can't find a reason."
The middle-aged man's eyes lit up: "You are very courageous, you don't even run away, are you sure you are fine?"
The staff nodded heavily: "There must be no problem."
"Okay!" The middle-aged man was quite satisfied: "It doesn't matter, you want to leave or stay with you, it's just a matter of meeting between you and me, a matter of trading."
"Understood, understood! It never happened."
"Well, not bad!" The middle-aged man stamped out the cigarette butt: "Okay, let's go!"
The staff carefully grasped the pocket where the bank card was stored, and planned to leave.But within two steps, a middle-aged man's voice suddenly came from behind: "Has he ever been suspicious?"
The staff paused and turned around: "He asked me to release some anti-icing fluid, probably to determine whether the anti-icing fluid is SAE type [-] or not."
The middle-aged man was taken aback, and then laughed loudly: "Who would foolishly touch the anti-icing fluid directly? Isn't the remaining anti-icing fluid the most direct evidence? They say he is very smart, and he looks good. That's it. , it's okay, let's go."
The middle-aged man waved his hand, indicating that the staff could leave.
The staff member bent down to the middle-aged man, then turned around, revealing an extremely honest and honest face.
If Xu Cang were here, he would definitely be able to tell who this person was.
It was the operator of the previous deicing vehicle!
