Chapter 141: The Thoughts of the Past(2/2)
While controlling the state of the plane, Shi Qi paid attention to Wu Taiming's actions. After confirming that Wu Taiming closed the main power gate of the No. 1 engine, he almost did not stop and issued another command: "Press the No. 1 engine fire alarm button."
The engine fire alarm button usually has a transparent cover on it to prevent the unit from touching by accident. Under normal circumstances, this button is pressed, and as long as it is pressed again, the button will be pressed out. After that, the sound warning of the fire alarm disappears, and the light will be on until the fire goes out, and no longer supplies power to the FADEC of the corresponding engine.
The function of this button is somewhat similar to Boeing's pull-out fire extinguishing handle. It can also pre-position the fire extinguishing bottle explosion cap, close the fuel low-pressure valve, close the hydraulic system fire alarm cut-off valve and the engine air induction valve, component flow control valve and disconnect IDG.
The essence is to isolate the engine that has problems from the entire aircraft system, that is, to cut off power, oil, and hydraulic pressure.
After that, after the engine fire alarm button pops up, the two fire extinguishing agent buttons are activated, which is in the pre-position available state. After ten seconds of time, Shi Qi ordered Wu Taiming to press the fire extinguishing agent 1 button.
The reason why I waited for ten seconds was to reduce N1 to a small enough level to reduce ventilation in the engine nacelle. Otherwise, if the air flow in the nacelle is too thick and strong, the fire extinguishing agent may be blown away, which greatly reduces the fire extinguishing effect.
Thirty seconds later, after observing that the engine's fire alarm signal had not yet been extinguished, the button of fire extinguishing agent 2 was also pressed. If it was not extinguished later, the unit would be powerless.
"Wait a moment, and then execute the shutdown procedure." Shi Qi licked his chapped lips. In this case, don't think about restarting the engine. You can still wait for the effect of the fire extinguishing system in the future. Before executing the shutdown procedure, Wu Taiming still needs to do one thing.
Shi Qi glanced at the fire alarm panel and sighed: "Announce MAYDAY, let's go back to Qizhou and apply for radar guidance."
At this moment, at the operation control center of Shanhang, the phone number of the safety duty seat suddenly rang. The safety duty manager who had been leisurely picking up the phone and asked: "What's the matter?"
A man's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, this is the Operations and Control Center of the National University headquarters. We have monitored the alarm of the key system of the 1241 aircraft. You can learn about the relevant information."
"1241?" The safety manager immediately took away his feet on the table: "Can you know what the fault is?"
Guoda Movement Control apologized: "Now our monitoring system cannot tell the specific situation, you need to understand it yourself."
"Okay, I understand." After that, the security manager hung up the phone.
The safety manager is actually not familiar with the number of the aircraft 1241 because it is the number of the Airbus aircraft that National University of China forced to Shanhang.
One thing Airbus has done is that the linkage of the information system is very good. After a certain aircraft has a problem, the operation control of its airline can receive relevant alarms. However, it is already the limit to achieve alarms. If you can subdue which system has a fault, don't think about it, it has not reached such an advanced level.
However, since those Airbus have just arrived in Shanhang and have not yet been connected to Shanhang's operation and control system, the responsibility for safety monitoring is still the responsibility of the National Airline Airline Operation and Control Center of the former airline.
The safety manager thought for a moment and shouted to the staff at a work station in front: "Check what flight 1241 is currently on?"
The staff in front of him chatted around the computer and quickly turned around and answered the safety manager: "Now it should be the section from Qizhou to Hanjing, with flight number 9451, which has just taken off not long."
"If it's not long after taking off, it should be still in the territory of Qizhou regional control." The security manager scratched his chin and immediately picked up the phone and called the Qizhou regional control room.
The phone was connected soon, and the security manager immediately said: "Hello, my place is Shan Shipping Control Center."
When I heard that it was from Shanhang, my attitude was quite good. After all, in the territory of Qizhou, Shanhang is quite generous to the control units and has a good reputation.
"What's wrong, is there any problem?"
The safety manager heard the people in the control room's tone relaxed, and first felt relieved. It seemed that the problem was not very big, otherwise the control room would have to explode first. However, he said quickly: "That's right, we have a problem with a plane monitoring. The flight number is 9451, the number is 1241, and the flight number is flying to Hanjing in Qizhou. Is this plane not out of the Qizhou area, right?"
"Wait!" said the person in the control room. After about half a minute, the person in the control room spoke again: "The area has not yet been left! It was the plane that broke down, but we have not received the crew report here."
Now, the safety manager relaxed again: "Hello, can you please contact the crew on your own initiative? Ask for the specific situation, I'll wait for your phone number here."
"This is fine!" The people in the control room were very pleased.
However, just as the security manager was about to thank him and hung up the phone, he heard a burst of noise from the other end of the phone. Before he could figure out the situation, a sound rang out of the control room opposite the phone: "It's not good, 9451 is hung up the emergency code. I'll go and take care of the plane first, and contact you if you have any subsequent situation."
The security manager wanted to say a few more words, but as soon as the words reached the mouth, the phone rang out with a beeping sound.
The security manager was stunned for a moment, then he snapped the microphone on the phone, trying to curse. The guy in the control room was still saying that it was okay one second, but the next second the plane hung an emergency code, which was so unlucky.
After thinking about it, the safety manager patted his subordinates in front of him and told him to stare at the phone number from the Qizhou Regional Control Office, and then hurriedly ran to the office of the general manager of the flight department upstairs.
This is the first time that Shanhang has hung an emergency code in more than a year since its establishment.
The office of the general manager of the flight department was on the upper floor of the operation control center. The safety manager did not take the elevator, but climbed the stairs directly up. When he opened the office door of the general manager of the flight department panting, he was about to explain the situation, and he swallowed his words when he reached the mouth.
I saw that there was a woman in the office of the general manager of the flight department. It turned out that Shi Lingling, who collected reporting materials in the Shanhang Building these days. A few days ago, the missionary center planned to make a special report on Shanhang, and Shi Lingling was the person in charge. During this period, she has interviewed many leaders of Shanhang, and now it seems that it is the turn of the general manager of the flight department.
In such an awkward scene, the safety manager was a little embarrassed. It would be a bit shameful to be able to attend the publicity and distribution materials of the propaganda center. It seems that it is not good to disturb the interview with the general manager of the flight department.
The general manager of the flight department was out of sight and was not annoyed. He waved to the safety manager and signaled him to come in: "What's wrong? What's wrong?"
The safety manager glanced at Shi Lingling, who was sitting opposite the general manager of the flight department, and wanted to speak but stopped. He didn't know whether he should tell the emergency situation when the bureau representative was present.
Looking at the awkward appearance of the safety manager, the general manager of the flight department guessed it. He had no idea to hide it. Anyway, he had to submit a detailed report to the bureau afterwards. Now that the bureau representative is here, it may save you some trouble.
This is Shanhang's confidence. He believes that even if the representative of the bureau is present, he can handle the special situation in an orderly manner without leaving any flaws.
"Tell me, what's going on?" said the general manager of the flight department.
Now that the boss spoke, the safety manager had no worries and immediately said: "The emergency code was hung on Flight 9451 just now."
The general manager of the flight department was stunned. Even though he was a little mentally prepared, he still didn't expect that he needed to hang an emergency code. He couldn't help but feel nervous: "What's the fault? Do you understand?"
"I don't know yet." said the security manager: "I have asked Qizhou's control."
Just as the general manager of the flight department and the safety manager asked and answered questions, Shi Lingling, who had not spoken, suddenly exclaimed: "Did you just talk about Flight 9451? It's from Hanjing, right?"
The security manager nodded: "Yes, Miss Shi, how do you know?"
Shi Lingling suddenly changed her expression: "My dad is on it!"
In the cockpit of Flight 9451, there was an old man with white hair and beard on the empty observer seat. He turned out to be a teacher Wang Baotian who had gone to Xu Cang before.
This time he was one of the twenty-three meritorious pilots who went to Hanjing to file a lawsuit. The explosion just now really alarmed them. Given that it was closely related to his life, Wang Baotian was elected as a representative to enter the cockpit to learn about the current situation.
Wang Baotian was born in Boeing and had never flew an Airbus plane. In his eyes, this Airbus plane was really like a book of heaven, because the first Airbus 320 in China was introduced by Sichuan Airlines five years ago, and it was barely considered a new product.
However, Wang Baotian did not plan to fly by himself. He just wanted to see the specific situation of the plane and the crew's attitude towards the special situation.
At this moment, the plane had begun to turn back to Qizhou Airport. Before Wang Baotian entered the cockpit, Shi Qi and Wu Taiming had completed the shutdown procedure, which meant that the plane had to land a single-shot.
Wang Baotian looked around the instruments, but he did not ask the warning lights one by one. He still knew that he would not interrupt in any areas he didn't understand, and saying too much would affect the working rhythm of Shi Qi who was present.
At this time, the cockpit was quite harmonious. Due to the appearance of single shots, after returning to Qizhou, there were many flight data that needed to be changed, such as cruise altitude and speed, backup fuel, etc.
Most of these tasks are under the responsibility of Wu Taiming, while Shi Qi mainly makes decisions and controls the status of the aircraft.
After waiting for a while, Shi Qi tried to connect some autonomous driving, but still failed, which made Shi Qi a little strange.
"Is it because I can't handle the autonomous driving?" Wang Baotian saw that it was Shi Qi's third attempt to press a button, and he probably had a guess in his mind.
Shi Qi did not hide it: "Well! But it's also very strange. To be honest, if there is a problem with an engine, it won't be impossible to get the autonomous driving."
Wang Baotian can understand this, which is actually the same as Boeing. In a single-shot situation, the automatic throttle may not be easy to use, but autonomous driving can still be connected, which can greatly reduce the pilot's control pressure so that more energy can be paid to pay attention to the fault itself.
"That's really strange. Is it the hydraulics cause?" Wang Baotian guessed.
Shi Qi didn't understand what the situation was, so he simply ignored it: "Forget it, if you can't answer, just fly by yourself."
"Yeah." Wang Baotian nodded. The clearance and airflow environment of Qizhou Airport is relatively good, unlike some plateaus and high plateau airports in the southwest or northwest. Not to mention single-shots, even if some captains of the double-shots cannot fly, that is a fatal death.
After waiting for a while, Wang Baotian asked: "Can the plane fall down?"
This problem is also the main reason why Wang Baotian came in. He didn't want to listen to Shi Qi's big talk, just one attitude. On the mission book of the crew, you can see Shi Qi's technical level and C-class instructors, which is already the ceiling of the pilot's technical level. The company inspectors, bureau inspectors, etc. behind them are not technical level, but just positions.
To be honest, if there are no special circumstances at Qizhou Airport, a C-class instructor should be able to land the plane. However, he needs Shi Qi to say it in person.
When this question was said, even Wu Taiming, who was re-entering flight data, pricked up his ears and sounded carefully.
Shi Qi was full of confidence: "If that's the case, then it should be fine if it falls."
Shi Qi was quite responsible in his speech and did not speak nonsense. So far, he could still control the status of the plane, but if there were any strange failures in the future, he would not be sure to handle it.
"Okay, just say this with you!" Wang Baotian didn't ask too much. Now, Shi Qi is the captain of Airbus on the entire plane, so they can only choose to believe Shi Qi.
At the same time, the crew that received the cockpit information was already busy. On the one hand, they needed to appease the passengers, and on the other hand, they had to prepare for returning to Qizhou. According to the information provided by the cockpit, the plane was estimated to land in more than 20 minutes, and the time was still relatively tight.
While the crew was busy, Xu Cang grabbed the flight attendant who was walking past and asked in a low voice: "When you contacted the front just now, what else did the cockpit say?"
For some reason, the flight attendant turned red when he saw Xu Cang, and he lowered his head and replied: "Brother, I didn't say anything before, I'll give us an expected landing time."
"I didn't even say that I expected to evacuate?"
The flight attendant shook his head: "I didn't say it!"
"Okay, go and do it!" Xu Cang tsk his mouth, and after the flight attendant left, he said to himself: "That doesn't seem to be a big problem."
However, there was one thing that Xu Cang cared about, that was, just now he realized that the flight number 9451 of this flight was a bit strange. Isn’t the curse flight 1549 in his memory, which claimed to be dead, the flight number 1549, was reversed?
Although Xu Cang didn't care about ghosts and gods, he even encountered rebirth, and this situation still made it difficult for him to let go. If there was really some connection between the two, even Xu Cang felt that the pressure was doubled.
No, it should feel like death!
The reason why Flight 1549 was an unsolvable curse flight is not a big deal. Xu Cang has participated in several simulations, but he has never succeeded, let alone only one chance in actual flight.
"I hope I'm over-thinking!" Xu Cang prayed.
Chapter completed!
