Blue Sky Airlines staff canteen.
The cafeteria here is a two-story building, and the lower floor is outsourced to a restaurant elsewhere. The dishes there are more varied, but the prices are a bit higher. In addition, there are also places like a canteen and a laundry room to meet the needs of the crew members living in the company's attendance building.
The second floor is where the staff have their meals, but it is also equipped with a small gym, which was considered pretty good in that era.
Not all people gather together for meals. Pilots have their own special restaurant. In addition to the same dishes as ordinary employees, there are also many additional dishes. In addition, desserts and drinks are also provided upon entry, which is considered a much better treatment. Moreover, buffets are launched from time to time, and a large number of new dishes are launched on the same day. Ordinary employees can also come in, but the price will be much higher. On the contrary, as long as you are a pilot, the price will not change.
Although everyone believes that all men are created equal, the reality of society is that people are really different. When it comes to food expenses, pilots always have the best. When going out overnight, flight attendants must share a room with two people, while pilots always have a single room. Sometimes when a car is needed to add a crew, the fleet often asks the flight attendants to wait for other crews to arrive, and then take a ride in. But if the pilot needs to add a crew to the airport, the fleet can basically send a separate car to take them in.
That's the difference!
This kind of exaggerated inequality in treatment, coupled with the fact that pilots' salaries are much higher than those of ordinary people, has caused resentment among many ground staff, resulting in a poor relationship between pilots and ground administrative staff.
However, this situation also occurs in other airlines and is not unique to Blue Sky Airlines.
When he got off work in the afternoon, Lu Jinghua, general manager of the flight department, did not drive home immediately. Instead, he went to the flight crew restaurant in the cafeteria to have a meal and then went back after eating.
Recently, Lu Jinghua was so busy that he was confused. Not to mention the 9811 incident, the joint operation with Muhua Airlines was completely cancelled along with 9811, and the mess left behind still had to be cleaned up by Lu Jinghua.
When the people above come up with an idea, the people below have to work hard to execute it. It was Luo Yong who was in charge of this matter, and when it was completed, all the credit went to Luo Yong. Now that there is a problem, Lu Jinghua has to find ways to fill the gap, while Luo Yong just sits there and does not care. Moreover, because a lot of money was invested in the joint venture project, it has all gone down the drain, resulting in extremely bad financial conditions for the company, which has attracted people from the finance department to run to the flight department for no reason, and they are almost blocking the door and cursing, which has made Lu Jinghua's mentality on the verge of collapse.
"Damn it, they get all the good things, but when something goes wrong, I have to take the blame." Lu Jinghua swiped his ID at the door of the restaurant, muttering to himself.
It's not just the Finance Department that is resentful. Because of the 9811 incident, the authority is likely to cut flights again and suspend some of the route applications that have been submitted, which completely touches the core interests of the people in the Marketing Department.
The main responsibility of the marketing department is to sell more tickets and apply for more routes. As a result, there are fewer flights now, so where can we sell tickets? There are problems applying for routes, and the performance pressure of the marketing department for this year is very high. If the designated performance target is not achieved, not to mention the year-end bonus, tomorrow's event budget will also be affected. Isn't this a vicious cycle?
However, compared to the Finance Department's brutal action of directly blocking the door, the Marketing Department was a little more moderate, limited to the confrontation between the leadership, and did not make the conflict public. However, at the department meeting, the Marketing Department leader pointed at Lu Jinghua's nose and scolded him for a full half an hour. Lu Jinghua not only had to greet him with a smile, but also had to serve tea and water to the Marketing Department leader who was tired of scolding him. The Marketing Department leader was so embarrassed that he didn't even want to return the favor.
It’s not that the people in the marketing department are really good-tempered. Unlike the finance department which holds everyone’s purse strings, those people are very arrogant. The main reason is that although the marketing department is a ground department, it has deeper conflicts with the flight department.
There was a time when there was a deep rift between the marketing department and the flight department. Once, the marketing department got a good route, but after the test flight, the flight department defined it as a complex route, which meant that only specific personnel could fly this route, and the value of this route was greatly reduced.
The marketing department could have made a good note of this route in their performance book, but it ended up like this, and their efforts were basically wasted. At that time, the marketing department strongly suspected that the flight department was taking revenge and deliberately defined the route they applied for as a complex route. However, whether a route is a complex route is up to the flight department, and the marketing department cannot interfere.
This shows that if the flight department is really pissed off, they have the ability to flip the table. After that, even if the marketing department is very upset with the flight department, they will restrain themselves a little.
However, the so-called restraint means not to go too far in public. The leaders can still scold as they please. I just ran into the marketing department again on the way to dinner. However, there were many employees around, so Lu Jinghua was just given a cold stare, and he had to put on a smile.
During this period, Lu Jinghua felt that he was not the general manager of the flight department, but a grandson.
As soon as he entered the restaurant, before he even picked up his plate, he saw Luo Yong, who was frowning, eating in a corner. To be honest, Lu Jinghua was reluctant to pay attention to his boss. At least 70% of the situation where he was treated like a grandson everywhere was caused by Luo Yong. However, it was too much for Lu Jinghua not to say hello when they were already here.
However, before Lu Jinghua walked over, Luo Yong also noticed Lu Jinghua. Luo Yong was obviously stunned for a moment, and the expression on his face was slightly more interesting. It seemed that like Lu Jinghua, he was also somewhat embarrassed to meet his subordinates.
Finally, Luo Yong forced a smile and waved to Lu Jinghua: "Come and sit down."
Lu Jinghua also had a fake smile on his face. He picked up some dishes and brought them over. As soon as he sat down, he greeted him warmly: "Mr. Luo."
Luo Yong nodded: "Thank you for your hard work during this period."
"It's not hard, it's not hard, it's what I should do." Lu Jinghua said hurriedly.
If someone who didn't know the inside story saw the two people's current behavior, they would think that they really had a harmonious relationship between superiors and subordinates. But in fact, who knows what the two people were saying in their hearts that was unbearable to hear.
"I heard that the money for the simulator last quarter has not been settled yet. I have told Mr. Zeng that you should find time to go to the Finance Department to clarify the cost of the simulator so that the Finance Department can transfer the money as soon as possible." Luo Yong suddenly said.
Mr. Zeng is the financial director of Blue Sky Airlines. He has a very bad temper. Not to mention Lu Jinghua, even Luo Yong would be a little scared when he meets him.
Lu Jinghua looked as if he had eaten a dead fly. He carefully confirmed, "Boss Luo, you did tell Boss Zeng about this, and did Boss Zeng agree?"
"Of course!" Luo Yong said expressionlessly, "Just go there with peace of mind."
As Luo Yong's subordinate for many years, Lu Jinghua knew that he was overthinking just by looking at Luo Yong's expression. Luo Yong must have not reached a consensus with the financial director. If he went to the financial director, he would probably be scolded.
Previously, the Finance Department had calculated that the joint operation with Muhua Airlines would lose a lot of money. However, this loss was in batches every month, but who knew that the 9811 incident would directly lose all the money for more than half a year, leaving them with no money to pay for the simulator, so they had to shamelessly apply to the Finance Department for more money.
It was just that Luo Yong obviously wanted Lu Jinghua to go to the Finance Department and get a good scolding in exchange for extra budget. When it came to pitting his subordinates, Luo Yong was really the best.
Lu Jinghua fell silent. He didn't know how to answer.
However, Luo Yong said righteously: "Jinghua, you are the head of the flight department. Now is the low period of the flight department, you have to stand up."
“This…” Lu Jinghua’s face darkened. In his heart, he cursed all of Luo Yong’s ancestors, but he still had a nonchalant smile on his face: “I understand, Mr. Luo.”
Seeing that Lu Jinghua was quite sensible, Luo Yong was quite satisfied. However, his face was still filled with worry: "I asked someone to inquire about the 9811 incident this time. It seems that the bureau has no major objections to the handling of the incident..."
"Of course they have no objection. They can't even fly out, so why should they have any objection?" Lu Jinghua sneered.
Luo Yong knew that Lu Jinghua was mocking the bureau on the surface, but in fact he was expressing his dissatisfaction to him. Lu Jinghua was not a fool. How could he not see that he was being used as a gun? It would be strange if he didn't have a temper.
Luo Yong ignored the emotions expressed by Lu Jinghua and continued to say quietly: "However, Xu Cang had previously found Yu Fengtian and pointed out the hidden dangers of the 747's door locking system, and the authorities knew about this. Although strictly speaking, Yu Fengtian did nothing wrong, the authorities believe that we are not vigilant enough for safety and will still punish us. Some time ago, the authorities lifted the penalty order against us, but now the flight reduction has to continue. In addition, we have encountered too many problems during this period, and we will be at a disadvantage in applying for routes in the future. The company will have a difficult time in the future. We plan to reduce the board and lodging standards and subsidies for flight crews. At that time, you will be responsible for calming the emotions of the flight crew."
Lu Jinghua could no longer control his expression. He asked Luo Yong, "Boss Luo, this involves too many things. I'm afraid I can't do anything about it."
Luo Yong's so-called reduction of accommodation and boarding standards and subsidies has already affected the core interests of pilots. This means that those who used to be able to stay in a four-star hotel will have to downgrade to a three-star hotel. The meal allowance of 65 yuan per meal will be reduced to 55 yuan. Overnight subsidies, commuting subsidies, communication subsidies, plateau subsidies, and fuel-saving subsidies will all be reduced. If he is asked to appease the pilots' emotions, it will clearly make him the opposite of the pilots. Lu Jinghua can't do this anyway.
Communicating with the Finance Department would only result in a scolding, but Lu Jinghua would accept it. However, Lu Jinghua would never accept the idea of ​​reducing the pay of pilots.
Lu Jinghua's clear refusal made Luo Yong feel a little embarrassed. He was used to ordering Lu Jinghua around, so he wanted Lu Jinghua to be the villain as well, but in the end, he failed to fulfill his wish.
"Let's talk about this later." The pilot's salary is a huge bomb. It seems that Lu Jinghua can't fool people. It's better to think about it in the long run.
Luo Yong thought for a moment and suddenly said, "You seem to have a good relationship with Xu Cang?"
"Huh?" Lu Jinghua was startled: "What's wrong?"
"The company is having a hard time right now, and we really need the premium route of Muhua Airlines. If possible, go and persuade Xu Cang to go to Muhua with peace of mind." Luo Yong said seriously, "Besides, he should have a better development in Muhua, and this is also for his own good."
Bang!
Lu Jinghua's chopsticks were slammed on the table, making a very loud noise, attracting surprised looks from the people around him.
"Mr. Luo..." Lu Jinghua looked directly at Luo Yong, his eyes flashing with some special meaning. But just when Lu Jinghua wanted to continue speaking, he suddenly felt the table seemed to be shaking slightly, and then the sound of porcelain bowls colliding continuously came.
Lu Jinghua's face suddenly changed. He looked around and saw that everyone nearby was surprised. However, some people still reacted and shouted, "It's an earthquake!"
…
At the same time, in the hospital ward, at the moment of the earthquake, Xu Cang's slightly closed eyes suddenly opened. He sat up in shock and looked around.
"What's wrong?" Beside the bed, the bureau's investigators looked at Xu Cang, who had suddenly become alert, with some surprise: "Is there any problem?"
"Earthquake?" Xu Cang was not sure and didn't know if it was an illusion.
"Well, was there an earthquake just now?" The investigators from the bureau didn't seem to feel anything either.
Xu Cang scratched his head: "Maybe I'm wrong."
"It's probably some error in spatial perception due to ear injury." The bureau's investigator guessed.
There is an organ in the inner ear that senses spatial positioning. If it is injured, it may cause people to have some false sense of space. Xu Cang thought about it and felt that this was a possibility, so he didn't pay too much attention to it.
"It should be." Xu Cang lay down again: "Sorry, please continue asking."
"There's nothing to ask, actually. We've already made a conclusion about you, and this is just a formality. You've already explained everything, so we won't ask any more questions." The bureau's investigator laughed. This was the first time he had such a relaxed interview. Since the conclusion had already been made, the process was really just a formality.
Xu Cang was stunned: "Is it over? What about Blue Sky Airlines?"
"As far as I know, before the 9811 incident, you once mentioned to the vice president of maintenance of Blue Sky Airlines that there was a problem with the door locking system of the 747-400." The investigator did not directly answer Xu Cang's question, but asked Xu Cang in return: "If it is convenient, can you tell how you knew that there was a problem with the door locking system of the 747-400?"
In the 9811 incident, the authorities were amazed at Xu Cang's unparalleled operation, but also puzzled by his foresight. The S2 main control locking system is a part that even professional maintenance personnel may not have a deep understanding of, but Xu Cang, a pilot, discovered its design flaws, which is incredible.
Xu Cang smiled bitterly and said, "Can I say it's inconvenient?"
"This..." The bureau investigator was stunned for a moment. He rarely heard a pilot explicitly say that he wanted to cover up something during an interview with the bureau.
Xu Cang's heart skipped a beat, and he asked carefully, "Is this question crucial?"
He could prepare a set of excuses to get away with it, but one lie would require ten lies to cover it up. If the authorities uncovered it, it would be difficult to say what would happen next.
Rather than creating some difficult situations for yourself, it is better to speak up now.
The bureau investigator was silent for a while, and finally smiled and said, "It's okay, if you don't want to talk about it, forget it. We are not at the point where we need to know everything. By the way, we have never encountered a special situation like 9811 before. As a witness and also the person who handled it, do you have any experience or suggestions for us?"
Civil aviation has made progress through lessons and summarization, especially for special situations such as 9811, which have never been experienced before, so it is even more necessary to accumulate experience.
Xu Cang had no need to hide this. He organized his words a little and said softly, "In fact, the main reason why the 9811 incident became unmanageable was that the two pilots present became incapacitated after the decompression..."
"We also learned about this matter later. The captain on duty had a tooth extracted not long ago, and when the pressure was released, the healed wound at the place where he had the tooth extracted broke open again. The co-pilot's lung function was poor due to long-term smoking, and his hypoxia reaction during the pressure release was more obvious. However, he did put on an oxygen mask afterwards, but because he was too panicked, he hyperventilated instead." The bureau investigator recounted what he knew.
Xu Cang asked doubtfully, "They have no problem with the air defense?"
"We checked the aviation and health records and they meet the standards." The bureau investigator frowned and said, "You mean to improve the aviation and health standards? Hey, we need to think about this carefully."
Changes to aviation standards cannot be made in a single word, and require extensive hearings and discussions. However, the physical performance of the two pilots present during the 9811 incident does not match the public's perception of the pilot's physique.
"As for the rest..." Xu Cang was just about to continue speaking when the cell phone in the bureau investigator's pocket rang.
"Sorry, wait a moment." The bureau investigator apologized, took out his cell phone, looked at the number, and answered the call: "What's the matter?"
Xu Cang naturally couldn't hear what the other party was saying, but he could see that the bureau investigator's expression was becoming increasingly ugly.
About five minutes later, the call was hung up, and the bureau investigator's face was as gloomy as water.
Although he knew it might not be good, Xu Cang still asked curiously, "Did something happen?"
"You're right!" The inspector put away his phone and sighed, "That's all for today. I have to go back! There was an earthquake in Yulong."
…
Three days later, the Blue Sky Airlines flight department conference room was packed with people, and a large number of flight technical backbones gathered there. From Vice President of Operations Luo Yong to General Manager of the Flight Department Lu Jinghua, to Chief Pilot Wang Xuan, Airbus Captain Jin Fuli, Boeing Captain Luo Jingyun, and all squadron leaders, and finally the elite pilots with a technical level of Class C instructors. Even the ground theory instructor Zeng Wei came!
Such a strong flight lineup was only assembled after the company specifically informed the planning room control team, otherwise there would not be so many flight backbones who would be off duty at the same time.
The group of people gathered around a large round table. On the table were three maps: one was the approach map of Yulong Airport, one was the blind landing map, and the other was the terrain map around Yulong Airport.
Luo Yong, the leader, looked around and said in a very low voice: "I think everyone has heard in the past two days that there was an earthquake in Yulong. Now the Yulong area has been severely affected, but the only road leading to the outside world has been damaged. We can only rely on air transport to send supplies and rescue personnel in."
The southwest region is full of mountains and valleys, and basically all roads and railways need elevated roads and tunnels. This has led to an exponential increase in the cost of land transportation here, and most provinces in the southwest are underdeveloped and simply cannot support an overly dense road and railway network. Therefore, most of the land transportation in various regions is connected by a single line. If a natural disaster occurs and the road is damaged, it is likely that a certain area will be completely cut off from the outside world. This is exactly the case in the Yulong area.
At this time, air transport becomes the only option.
In the crowd, Jin Fuli was leaning against the edge of the table, and blurted out, "I don't understand. There are only Boeing companies here. What am I, an Airbus company, doing here?"
In fact, there is one person who flies Airbus among these people, and that is Luo Yong, the vice president of operations. However, Luo Yong is now focusing on administrative work and has not flown in person for a long time, so he is naturally not considered.
"We can't help it. Airbus doesn't have aircraft with short-runway performance." An old Boeing instructor said sarcastically, "The runway at Yulong Airport is partially damaged due to the earthquake. We can't land on the entire runway. We can only rely on our SFP aircraft."
Short-field performance, or 737SFP, is an enhanced improvement package introduced by Boeing. With the help of winglets, it increases the lift coefficient under the same conditions, that is, reduces the stall speed.
At the same time, the lift angles of the inner ground spoiler and the flight spoiler have increased, while the outer ground spoiler remains unchanged.
In addition, the engine approach idle to ground idle transition time was reduced from five seconds to two seconds, which is more conducive to deceleration. Finally, the flap position logic has also changed, that is, on SFP aircraft, the leading edge flaps are sealed in the gears of flaps 10, 15, and 25, while non-SFP aircraft are slotted.
Aircraft with SFP can improve takeoff and landing performance. For example, after landing, SFP aircraft can stop in a shorter distance, which is a great advantage when Yulong Airport cannot land on the entire runway.
"Then what else is there to say?" Jin Fuli shrugged and made a gesture to leave: "You guys can talk slowly, I won't participate."
Seeing Jin Fuli was about to leave, Luo Yong became anxious: "Master!"
However, as soon as these two words came out, Jin Fuli shouted angrily, pointing at Luo Yong fiercely: "I don't have an unworthy disciple like you! I haven't settled the score with you for Xu Cang's matter yet!"
Before, the news that Luo Yong wanted to sell Xu Cang to Muhua Airlines at the price of a boutique airline was only circulated in a very small circle. But that day, Xu Cang confronted Yu Fengtian and finally broke the window paper. Jin Fuli found out after a little inquiry.
Jin Fuli had high hopes for Xu Cang. He didn't expect that Luo Yong would actually think of selling out Xu Cang. How could he not be furious?
Luo Yong knew he was in the wrong, so he dared not argue. Of course, this was not the time to argue, so he hurriedly said, "Team Leader... Captain Jin, you are the first flight crew of our company's Yulong Airport, and your opinions are of great reference value."
"For reference, what reference?" Jin Fuli pointed at a group of people and said, "Yulong Airport is not a complicated airport. How many of these people have never flown at Yulong Airport? Do you think Yulong Airport is difficult to fly at?"
After Jin Fuli finished speaking, no one responded, because what Jin Fuli said was the truth, there was indeed nothing difficult about flying to Yulong Airport.
Suddenly, Jin Fuli saw Zeng Wei, the theoretical instructor, in the crowd. He immediately noticed something unusual: "Speaking of which, when will it be our turn to perform such a glorious task of disaster rescue? Where is Muhua Airlines?"
Muhua Airlines has a base in Jianchuan. For such a big thing, Muhua Airlines should be the first to take charge.
"Muhua Airlines refused." Luo Yong said gloomily.
Jin Fuli narrowed his eyes: "Why?"
"Captain Jin, our company is in such a difficult situation right now. We must rely on cooperating with the disaster relief efforts this time to restore our image in the eyes of the bureau." Luo Yong said anxiously.
"Luo Yong!" Jin Fuli shouted, "I don't want to hear your nonsense. I just want to know why Muhua Airlines refused."
Luo Yong gritted his teeth and winked at Zeng Wei beside him. Zeng Wei nodded and took over Jin Fuli's words: "Captain Jin, in addition to the partial damage to the runway of Yulong Airport, the fundamental reason why Muhua Airlines refused is that the earthquake changed some of the terrain around Yulong Airport."
Zeng Wei took a step forward and pointed to a hill on the Yulong Airport topographic map. "According to the information provided by the bureau, this hill has tilted due to earthquake activity..."
Jin Fuli glanced at the location Zeng Wei pointed out and couldn't help but frowned: "Isn't this on the approach route of Runway 21? No, you mean that the terrain on the approach route has changed and the original approach procedure can't be used?"
Zeng Wei slightly corrected Jin Fuli's statement: "To be precise, some changes are needed."
"What the hell is the change? The approach route of Runway 21 of Yulong Airport is all through the ravines. The margin is very small to begin with. Now the terrain has changed. What's the point of flying?" Jin Fuli got angry: "What about Runway 03 at the other end?"
The terrain on the approach direction of Runway 03 is flatter, so there may still be a chance.
However, Zeng Wei directly rejected this idea: "Runway 03 is not possible, as the damaged part of the pavement is close to the entrance of Runway 03."
"So what? Isn't it the same if we move the touchdown point forward?" an instructor asked at this time.
"Instructor, you may not know this. Theoretically, the remaining runway at Yulong Airport cannot reach a normal braking distance..."
Zeng Wei hadn't finished speaking when the crowd in the field started to get noisy. One of the Class C instructors asked sternly, "The runway isn't even long enough, and you're still asking us to fly?"
Zeng Wei explained with his hands pressed together: "So we have to use Runway 23, because if we land on Runway 23, there will be a 30-degree angle escape route connecting to the parallel main taxiway."
"You..." Lu Jinghua, who had been silent the whole time, had a twinkling look in his eyes: "Do you mean to include the exit road and the main taxiway in the braking distance?"
Zeng Wei nodded: "We calculated that even if we take into account the 15% margin, plus the escape route and the remaining main taxiway, the distance is sufficient."
"Enough for your mother!" A younger Class B instructor cursed directly: "If you want to fly, fly by yourself, don't go crazy here."
Wang Xuan didn't swear, but said coldly: "The braking effect of the main taxiway and the departure way is different from the runway surface."
"I know!" Zeng Wei said, "So, we set the braking effect of the main taxiway and the exit path to medium, and the distance is sufficient."
"What about the procedure? How about the entry procedure? You can't change it now, right?" Lu Jinghua interrupted. He didn't dwell too much on the issue of braking distance, but asked about the entry procedure.
Zeng Wei heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the problem of braking distance was temporarily solved, so he quickly pointed to the approach map of Runway 23: "The place where the mountain deflection occurred is near the 250 radial line 11 nautical miles of Yulong VOR station. According to the original approach procedure, the altitude at this point should be 13,300 feet, and then maintain a turning angle to the final approach positioning point. However, due to the terrain changes at this point, we certainly cannot follow the original restricted altitude. To be on the safe side, we maintain the MSA altitude of Yulong Airport before this point, which is 5,700 meters. Wait until you pass this point before starting to descend..."
As soon as Zeng Wei finished speaking, Jin Fuli sneered: "Five hundred and seven hundred meters, that is 18,700 feet. After passing that point, we will be five thousand feet higher than the standard altitude. How can we intercept the blind landing at such a high altitude?"
"Then slow down in advance and establish the landing configuration." Luo Yong said.
"Bullshit!" Jin Fuli didn't give Luo Yong any face in front of everyone. He pointed at Zeng Wei and said, "You are good at calculations. Tell me, what descent rate should we maintain after passing the point to intercept the glide path?"
Zeng Wei coughed twice and said, "Maybe we need to maintain a descent rate of 1,500 feet to an AFE of about 600 feet."
"That's it! Aren't there any mountains on the fifth side of Yulong Airport? If we maintain a descent rate of 1,500 feet, do you think the terrain will make us cry?" Jin Fuli asked in return, "There are still 600 feet to stabilize. Does that mean we don't have to worry about the standard of stabilized approach?"
If the standard descent rate cannot be achieved until the AFE altitude is 600 feet, it is definitely not in compliance with the stable approach standard. Moreover, the excessive descent rate in the final descent stage is also very likely to trigger a terrain warning. No matter how you think about it, this is not a normal method.
However, if we could use normal means, we wouldn't have to call in so many flight backbones to discuss it together.
"Oh, special matters should be handled specially." Luo Yong said: "We will also explain this matter to the authorities, and I believe they will understand."
"Whether the bureau understands or not is none of our business?" a teacher shouted, "The key is that this method is not feasible."
Luo Yong's eyes instantly turned cold. He looked directly at the teacher and asked coldly, "Then can you give me a feasible solution?"
The teacher was speechless for a moment, and everyone was whispering to each other, but no one could come up with a feasible plan.
Luo Yong snorted: "Okay, since..."
Before he could finish his words, the door to the conference room was pushed open. Xu Cang walked in slowly and said seriously, "If it doesn't work from the top, then why not walk from the bottom?"
Zeng Wei was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean?"
Many other teachers didn't know Xu Cang yet, and they thought he was that young teacher. However, they didn't understand what "walking from below" meant.
"The approach procedure for Yulong Airport states that the area is all U-shaped river valleys. The terrain in the valleys is flat, and even at the lowest point, the width of the valley is greater than the wingspan of a 737. Since we have to fly over the top of a sloping mountain, the height is difficult to handle, so we can fly over the valley bottom, and after passing the sloping mountain, we will rise to an altitude of 12,300." Xu Cang said calmly.
Everyone's faces were filled with excitement, especially Wang Xuan, who shouted coldly, "The width of the valley floor is barely wider than the wingspan. If you're not careful, the wing tip will scrape against the mountain. How can you use such a dangerous method?"
"It's not dangerous!" Xu Cang spread his hands: "As long as we ensure sufficient flight accuracy, it will be fine!"
"The wind in the valley is fierce and the airflow is unstable, so it is difficult to ensure the accuracy of the flight. Your method is even more dangerous than what Zeng Wei just said." An old instructor squinted his eyes and looked at Xu Cang: "But who are you? Does our company have such a young Class B instructor?"
Wang Xuan sneered: "Instructor, he is not a Class B instructor, he is just a second mate."
The whole audience was in an uproar. The old instructor who had just spoken looked at Xu Cang in surprise and astonishment: "What are you, a second mate, doing here? Please get out. We have something important to discuss here."
Some teachers with bad tempers had already begun to scold Xu Cang for being disrespectful. Lu Jinghua in the crowd was very surprised that Xu Cang had come back, but the current occasion was indeed not suitable for Xu Cang, so he waved to him and signaled Xu Cang to leave the meeting room first.
"I am indeed a second mate, and I am definitely not as good as you instructors." Xu Cang said sincerely, "I just want to contribute to the disaster relief."
" It's enough that you have this intention." The old teacher was good-tempered: "Go, go, this is not the place for you to come."
Xu Cang nodded. He was indeed ready to leave, but before leaving, he glanced at Luo Yong: "Boss Luo, do you think my plan is feasible?"
"The instructor has just said that the airflow in the valley is unpredictable and it is difficult to ensure flight accuracy. Your method is too dangerous," Luo Yong said.
Hearing this, Wang Xuan smiled coldly, somewhat complacently.
Xu Cang hummed: "Okay, sorry to bother you all!"
Xu Cang was quite straightforward and just pretended to leave.
However, before he could take a step, Luo Yong stopped him: "Your plan is indeed extremely dangerous and cannot compare to Zeng Wei's method. But if you are willing to fly, I can consider it."
The whole place was in an uproar. Luo Yong actually wanted to adopt this dangerous flying method, and he wanted to bet everything on a second mate. It was ridiculous!
Could it be that Luo Yong has gone insane?
Many teachers wanted to dissuade him, but Luo Yong raised his hand to stop them. Luo Yong stared at Xu Cang with burning eyes: "Xu Cang, are you willing?"
