Joining Sichuan Airlines starts with rescuing the captain of a powerful country

Chapter 22 The plane turned left. Did it want to land at Suzhou Meiyou International Airport?

The weather conditions in Jiangnan area are not bad today.

Cloudy to clear.

Visibility is great.

Great for taking off and landing aircraft.

13:30 pm Capital time.

Flight 3u8874 is still more than kilometers away from Hongqiao Airport in the magical capital.

At this time, the Airbus A319 passenger plane was maintaining a cruising speed of 800 kilometers per hour, so the distance of more than kilometers only took ten or twenty minutes.

Click.

The cockpit door was pushed open.

The co-pilot Liang Dong walked in with a yawn.

"When I was passing by the first class cabin just now, I found that there was still a seat that was not occupied, so I just dozed off for half an hour. Where were I?!" Liang Dong asked.

"It's okay. You can go to sleep for another ten or twenty minutes. I'll call you when the plane lands." Lu Qingzhou said angrily.

Liang Dong took a look at the navigator.

I was immediately startled.

“Damn it, we’re about to enter the Southern Jiangsu region!?”

He quickly sat back in his seat and buckled his seat belt.

Then he smiled and said, "Aren't I afraid that I would disturb you two? I just saw that you two were chatting enthusiastically, so I specially made room for you."

"Go away and talk nonsense again." Lu Qingzhou's face was filled with black lines.

Chen Bingbing also had blushing cheeks and looked shy.

"That's right!" Liang Dong laughed and scolded, "It's okay to treat good intentions like donkey's liver and lungs. I often do good deeds without leaving my name behind. I just want to have a clear conscience."

"Get out of here." Lu Qingzhou said angrily, "Stop talking nonsense, we are about to go downhill."

Talking.

Lu Qingzhou pinched the radio headset and contacted the cabin crew, "The plane is about to arrive at Hongqiao Airport in the magical city. Please check all passengers' seat belts! Oxygen machines! All flight attendants will return to their seats immediately after 5 minutes and prepare themselves before landing. All preparations."

Bi Nan's voice immediately sounded in his earphones, "Copy that."

Bi Nan hung up the call with Lu Qingzhou, immediately pulled up the intercom and started broadcasting: "Dear passengers, we are about to arrive at the destination of this flight - Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport. The plane is about to descend. Please return to your original seat. Okay, fasten your seat belt, stow away the floorboards, and adjust the seat back to the normal position. All personal computers and electronic devices must be turned off. Please confirm whether your carry-on items are properly placed. Later, we will Dim cabin lights.”

When she made the announcement in English again, the other flight attendants had already begun to check one by one, not letting anyone go.

All the flight attendants took their seats, and Bi Nan pulled the intercom in the captain's cab.

"Captain Qingzhou, all 146 passengers have been retrieved."

"Understood." Lu Qingzhou replied.

Chen Bingbing quickly looked at the time, it was exactly 5 minutes.

At this time, the voice of the Modu District controller sounded on the communication channel again, "Sichuan Airlines 8874, you are about to arrive at Modu Hongqiao Airport. Please descend to altitude 6300 and maintain, FM 132.5, contact Modu approach."

Liang Dong immediately repeated, "Sichuan Airlines 8874 received, maintain altitude 6300, frequency modulation 132.5, contact Magic City approach."

This scene immediately stunned Chen Bingbing.

She just thought that the plane was arriving at Hongqiao Airport in the magical capital. Then Lu Qingzhou told the cabin to prepare for landing, and the crew contacted the controller to apply for a descent.

Unexpectedly, the controller took the initiative to contact the crew and asked them to descend.

How did Lu Qingzhou know that the controller would contact him at this point! ?

Otherwise, why would he have given the order to the cabin crew 5 minutes ago? !

Could he predict the future? !
  But now the plane has entered the landing procedure.

Lu Qingzhou and Liang Dong both became busy.

So even if Chen Bingbing has doubts in her heart, she can't disturb others at the moment.

So I can only hold it in my heart for the time being.

at this time.

Liang Dong has successfully switched the communication channel.

"Hello, approaching Shanghai, Sichuan Airlines flight 8874, maintain altitude 6300, Tongbo received."

"Sichuan Airlines flight 8874, approaching from Magic City, I have seen you on the radar, clear wave is valid, GUGAM06 approach, estimated 04R, blind landing x approach."

"Sichuan Airlines flight 8874 received, clearing is valid, GUGAM06 approach, estimated 04R, blind landing x approach." Liang Dong repeated the instructions of the Magic City approach controller.

Why do pilots repeat instructions given by controllers? !

This is not only to convey to the captain, but also to tell the controller by 'repeating instructions' that 'I' have understood your instructions.

"Sichuan Airlines 8874, lower the standard air pressure to 4500 and maintain it." The approach controller once again issued a new instruction. Liang Dong immediately repeated, "Hold the standard air pressure at 4500, and receive it at 8874."

Lu Qingzhou was not idle either.

now.

He had switched the plane's driving mode from automatic to manual.

After receiving the command to lower the altitude, immediately lower the push rod and release the throttle.

The nose of this Airbus A319 passenger plane was slightly downward again. While the speed slowed down, the altitude also dropped from 6300 to 4500.
  The airport is the parking lot for airplanes.

But getting in and out of a 'parking lot' is much more complicated than a car.

Every aircraft taking off and landing requires strict implementation of complex procedures.

Take Sichuan Airlines flight 3u8874 as an example.

When we were about 200 kilometers away from the airport and there were still about 20 minutes left, the crew needed to remind the flight crew to prepare for landing.

Then the controller will take the initiative to contact the crew.

Let him descend and contact the approach controller.

If the district traffic controller is a highway traffic policeman, then the approach controller is equivalent to the traffic policeman on the street.

It is necessary to guide the plane to queue up to 'wait for the traffic lights', then circle around which airport to land at, etc.

Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport is one of Xia's eight regional hub airports, and numerous planes take off and land from this airport every day.

Therefore, the take-off and landing procedures are even stricter.

When the altitude of flight 3u8874 dropped to 4500 meters, Lu Qingzhou turned to look at Liang Dong and said, "Turn on the APU, landing lights, and turn off the cabin lights."

"Okay." Liang Dong was not slow and quickly completed the above operation.

At this moment.

The approach controller's voice sounded again on the communication channel, "8874, slow down to 300, arrival sequence."

Liang Dong immediately repeated, "Speed ​​to 300, arrival sequence, 8874."

"Sichuan Airlines 8874, maintain altitude 3900."

"Go down to 3900 and hold, 8874 understands."

"Sichuan Airlines 8874, maintain the lower altitude at 2100, and correct the sea pressure to 1020."

"The lower altitude is maintained at 2100, the sea pressure is corrected at 1020, and 8874 is received."

"Sichuan Airlines 8874, reduce speed by 220."

"Slow down 220 hold, 8874 received.".
  This scene.

Chen Bingbing watched it with gusto.

She never thought flying a plane could be so fun and tedious.

No wonder it usually takes more than two people to fly an airplane.

Unless a person has two heads and four arms.

otherwise.

Where can I get busy?

"Sichuan Airlines 8874, maintain altitude at 1500, slow down at 180." Less than a minute later, the approach controller's voice rang out again.

"Maintain altitude 1500, slow down 180, received at 8874." Liang Dong was like an emotionless repeater, repeating the approach controller's instructions over and over again.

"Sichuan Airlines 8874, turn left to heading 140." the approach controller said again.

Liang Dong repeated again, "Turn left to route 140, 8874 received."

Lu Qingzhou immediately moved the operating lever to the right and said to Liang Dong, "Adjust the flap landing configuration to state 3."

"Ok."

Just after Liang Dong completed the above operation, the nose of the Airbus A319 passenger plane slowly turned to the left.

Spoken by someone looking down from a high altitude.

It must feel very strange.

Because after flight 3u8874 turned its nose to the left, it did not fly to Hongqiao Airport not far away.

Instead, he headed towards Suzhou, which is adjacent to the Magic City.

Well known.

There is no airport in Suzhou.

Flight 3u8874 turned left at this time. Could it be that it wanted to land at Suzhou Meiyou International Airport?
