"Transfer to Airbus!" Xu Cang was stunned on the spot, not knowing what to say for a long time, and finally squeezed out a sentence: "I am on secondment, how can I transfer to Airbus?"
Back then, when he was at Blue Sky Airlines, he was spotted by Jin Fuli, the captain of the Airbus fleet. It took a lot of effort to dispel the "talent" of the old comrade Jin Fuli, but how come Shandong Airlines was forced to change its aircraft type as soon as it arrived here?
Xu Cang came to Shandong Airlines not to really take root here, but to feel the vigor and vitality of Shandong Airlines and to kidnap Wu Taiming and others. After all, he still has to go back to Blue Sky Airlines! If he doesn't go back, what will happen to the Erhai Base? This matter is the starting point of Xu Cang's struggle.
In fact, Xu Cang had no objection to the aircraft type change itself. It made no difference whether he flew an Airbus or a Boeing. He had rejected Jin Fuli before because he promised Qin Xin that he would become a third-level co-pilot within two months. How could he have time to change aircraft types midway?
Of course, the agreement between him and Qin Xin was not fulfilled in the end, but it was reached in another way.
Xu Cang was scheduled to stay at Shandong Airlines for a maximum of three months. If he changed the aircraft type, from taking theoretical classes to flying the Airbus initial modification simulator, then after he obtained the Airbus aircraft type qualification, he would basically have to return to Blue Sky Airlines. He really accomplished nothing! Then, after returning to Blue Sky Airlines, he would have to change back to the Boeing model, because he had to go to the Erhai Base, and the Erhai Base would only have one Boeing 737. Where would he get an Airbus aircraft to fly?
This back and forth not only failed to accomplish anything, but also made Xu Cang exhausted to death.
"Where are you seconded from?" asked the Feibiao manager naturally.
Xu Cang immediately said: "Blue Sky Airlines."
"Blue Sky Airlines? Do we have any cooperation with Blue Sky Airlines?" Fei Biao Manager fell into silence for a short time. However, such a small matter did not confuse Fei Biao Manager for too long. Anyway, he was too lazy to care about why his company borrowed pilots from Blue Sky Airlines. Fei Biao Manager smiled and said, "I heard that your Blue Sky Airlines operates both Boeing and Airbus models. If you change to Airbus here, you can go to your Airbus fleet later. You can even save the modification fee!"
Xu Cang was completely speechless: "Then do you want to ask for the consent of my company?"
"What are you asking for? Do you know what secondment means? During the secondment period, any technical training our company conducts to enable you to perform your duties is reasonable, and these terms are written in the contract." In fact, Manager Feibiao had not read Xu Cang's secondment contract, but the contents of secondment contracts were similar. Wouldn't it be easy to find some content to shut Xu Cang up?
At this point, the Feibiao manager shook his head and said, "I know you're annoyed. I'm annoyed too! But Guoda Airlines forced the Airbus plane on us, so we had no choice but to accept it. After all, Guoda Airlines is one of our shareholders."
Although Guoda Airlines is only the third largest shareholder, the largest shareholder of Shandong Airlines is the provincial government, which usually does not intervene in matters, so Guoda Airlines still has some say. Moreover, Guoda Airlines provided a lot of help to Shandong Airlines at the beginning of its establishment, and this favor must be repaid, so this time it can only hold its nose and take it.
Some people may wonder, how can you be happy with a free plane? But in fact, in civil aviation, the more planes the better, but the right number is the best, that is, the number of planes should match the number of crew members and the number of routes.
Even though Shandong Airlines has grown rapidly in recent years, it has only a few routes and its current fleet size is just right. Most aircraft can be fully utilized, with extremely high efficiency and very little cost waste.
However, when Guoda Airlines forced Airbus aircraft into the fleet, Shandong Airlines not only had to set up a dedicated Airbus team, but also could not obtain more routes to support the extra aircraft after the number of aircraft increased. This resulted in a double increase in labor costs and aircraft maintenance costs.
It’s not without cost if the plane doesn’t fly. Just parking it on the tarmac means burning money every minute. Only by letting the plane fly can you make money.
After optimizing their own fleet, Guoda Airlines also found that these Airbus aircraft were a burden, so they passed them on to Shandong Airlines. This is because although the airline executives can grasp the general direction of the civil aviation market, there will always be times when they miscalculate. For giant aviation groups, passing some of the burdens on to subsidiaries is also a way to suck blood.
For example, international routes are very popular at certain times. Large airlines introduce a large number of wide-body aircraft. However, the international route market is cold later, and these redundant wide-body aircraft are money-eating monsters and hot potatoes. Therefore, some large airlines will pass the wide-body aircraft to their subsidiaries. In this way, the accounts of the headquarters will look good, and the losses will be borne by the subsidiaries.
This is roughly what NUS Airlines is doing to Shandong Airlines now!
"But you don't have to drag me in too. One more or one less won't make much difference!"
The Feibiao manager sneered, "We at Shandong Airlines are fair, even if we say nothing else! All trainees and first-level co-pilots are converted to Airbus. Some old instructors and leaders' children also converted. There is no difference between us! I believe you can see clearly that the cost of converting trainees and first-level co-pilots is the lowest. It is not that the leaders deliberately targeted them."
Xu Cang certainly knew that the lower the level, the lower the cost of changing aircraft models. Of course, if he waited to hire a captain, then changing aircraft models would be quite cost-effective.
Seeing that Xu Cang still looked unhappy, Manager Feibiao came to a conclusion directly: "Don't blame others. There is nothing you can do about your bad luck. Besides, the company will provide corresponding subsidies for the modification of the Airbus co-pilot. It is not necessarily a bad thing. That's it!"
After that, the Feibiao manager no longer paid attention to Xu Cang, but announced again to all the Feibiao staff: "Everyone heard what I said just now, and it will be done before the end of get off work tomorrow."
This was the final word, and Manager Feibiao left after giving his instructions. Xu Cang could not accept his fate, so he quickly asked the staff who filed his files, "Is the file okay?"
The staff member was distracted by the flying manager's matter just now, and actually forgot that there was a meritorious pilot in Xu Cang's award record. He nodded directly: "It's no problem. Come over tomorrow to complete the entry procedures, and remember to bring your ID."
However, before the staff member could finish his words, Xu Cang ran out of the office and caught up with the Feibiao manager who had just left.
Xu Cang stopped the Feibiao manager and looked at the name tag on his chest. It turned out that the manager's name was Hu Guangbi. Xu Cang immediately said, "Boss Hu, if there is no way to change the model, can we speed up the progress?"
Hu Guangbi had a good temper. He was not annoyed by Xu Cang's blocking. Instead, he was puzzled: "What do you mean, speed up the progress?"
"I mean..." Xu Cang organized his words a little: "It's just... Actually, I... I know a little bit about Airbus. I was thinking if I could skip the usual process and simplify the steps, or just cut off the learning cycle and go straight to the theoretical test and the modified simulator inspection?"
Hu Guangbi squeezed half of his face together: "Didn't you just say that you fly Boeing? How do you know about Airbus?"
"This... is just my personal hobby. I like to study other aircraft models!" Xu Cangtian lied shamelessly: "Boss Hu, if I follow the normal process to do the aircraft change training, then I won't be able to do anything during my secondment and will just focus on training."
Hu Guangbi rolled his eyes. "What nonsense are you talking about? You still like to study other models? Then let me ask you, what is the priority of FMGS to update FM positions?"
"IRS-GPS, IRS-DME/DME, IRS-VOR/DME, IRS only!" Xu Cang answered without even thinking, and even commented at the end: "Mr. Hu, the order of updating the position information is the same for Airbus and Boeing, and it is not representative."
"Wow!" Hu Guangbi became interested: "What is the full name of FADEC?"
"Full Authority Digital Engine Control."
“What does it control?”
"Starter valve, igniter and high pressure fuel valve."
“What starting protection does it provide?”
"Hot start, hang start, stall, ignition failure, low starting air pressure, start time exceeded and thrust handles not in idle position."
Xu Cang's answer was quite smooth, almost blurted out. After a brief surprise, Hu Guangbi smiled and said, "It's quite interesting."
Xu Cang's eyes lit up: "Boss Hu, is this all right?"
"What do you mean? What are you dreaming about?" Hu Guangbi snorted, "The training outline is all in accordance with the regulations of the bureau. If you want to simplify the training process, you can, just go and get a special permit from the bureau."
If it were an ordinary person, the conversation would end here. But when Xu Cang heard this, his eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "We just need to get permission from the bureau, right?"
"Ah?" Hu Guangbi was stunned. He repeated, "Brother, you are fine. You are asking the bureau for a special permit."
Xu Cang nodded seriously: "I know, I'll go and have a look!"
After saying that, Xu Cang ran away. It was not until Xu Cang was almost out of sight that Hu Guangbi realized something was wrong with him: "Is there something wrong with this guy's brain?"
…
In Yangcheng City, in Ma Cheng's office at the Muhua Aviation headquarters building, Liu Minxue was looking at a document sent by Boeing and exclaimed in amazement: "Old Ma, did you really get this done? When did Boeing become so easy to talk to?"
This document is Boeing's final decision on the production capacity allocation of the 300 aircraft, that is, the 300 aircraft will be equally divided, with the three major airlines each getting 100 aircraft.
"How can I have such a big face? Boeing is not a good person who is easy to talk to. It's just a deal." Ma Cheng took a sip of tea and said, "Old Liu, don't you have acquaintances in the Southern Bureau?"
"Yeah!" Liu Minxue didn't hide it: "There are a few people I have a good relationship with, what's the matter?"
Ma Cheng put down his teacup and said seriously, "Blue Sky Airlines is interested in a route, Erhai - Yangcheng. If it is convenient, can you go to the Southern Bureau to negotiate? If necessary, you can use the name of our Muhua. If necessary, the company can provide corresponding assistance."
"Wait a minute!" Liu Minxue put down the document, raised his hand to stop Ma Cheng from speaking, and asked incredulously: "Did I hear correctly? It's not our company that wants to apply for the route, it's for Blue Sky Airlines. Ma Cheng, are you okay? Have you become a saint by fasting and chanting Buddha recently?"
Ma Cheng was amused by Liu Minxue's sarcastic remarks. He pointed at the document in Liu Minxue's hand and said, "Aren't you surprised that Boeing is willing to increase the production capacity to 100 aircraft? I just said that I don't have such a big face, and Boeing hasn't changed its mind. Do you really think it's a pie in the sky?"
Liu Minxue narrowed his eyes: "What do you mean?"
"I mean, it's just a deal!" Ma Cheng confessed, "I made a deal with Xu Cang. He helped me settle the capacity quota issue, and I applied for the Erhai-Yangcheng route for him."
"You mean Xu Cang got Boeing?" Liu Minxue immediately smelled something unusual: "What about Xu Cang? Do we still need him?"
Ma Cheng sighed: "Lao Liu, as part of the deal, I have made it clear to the senior management of Blue Sky Airlines that I will not pursue Xu Cang. He probably won't come!"
"What did you say?" Liu Minxue was immediately furious: "Ma Cheng, you didn't tell me about this big thing in advance, and you just decided on your own?"
Ma Cheng took out a letter from his desk drawer and threw it to Liu Minxue: "It was sent by Boeing. All airlines that have placed orders for the 777 have received it. In the future, they plan to conduct three extreme tests of the 777. One of them is tentatively scheduled to be held at Daocheng Yading Airport in China. That one is also the most difficult one."
Liu Minxue didn't even look at it: "Why are you talking about this?"
“Do you know who flew the test at Daocheng Yading Airport?”
Liu Minxue frowned: "What do you mean?"
Ma Chengyi shrugged: "One is Ye Xian, and the other is...Xu Cang! Can't you see clearly? Xu Cang has already thrown himself into the arms of Boeing. Isn't the reason we want Xu Cang to trade with Boeing? Now that they have come together, what's the point?"
"You..." Liu Minxue really couldn't agree with Ma Cheng's extremely profit-oriented style of doing things: "Do you think people all have clearly marked prices?"
Ma Cheng thought for a moment: "If it's about work, then it's true . Everyone has their own value. I said before that Xu Cang is just a pilot. He just added value when the wind blew. Now that the wind has stopped, he has returned to his original value position. However, fortunately, he was able to solve a big problem for us at the end, which is not bad."
"Forget it, forget it, I can't talk to you about work. My blood vessels are going to burst." Liu Minxue really couldn't listen any more and waved his hand: "Let's go, let's go!"
Seeing Liu Minxue was about to leave, Ma Cheng shouted at Liu Minxue's back: "You must remember the route."
However, the only response to Ma Cheng was a cold snort from Liu Minxue.
…
"Hey, Chief Engineer, you've already become the Chief Pilot, can't you handle such a small matter?" In a stairwell of Shandong Airlines, Xu Cang was complaining to Di Qingquan.
The reason is simple, Xu Cang wants to simplify the process of changing models! ?
Hu Guangbi refused to give in and insisted that he needed the authority's permission. However, this was normal. Any qualification training of an airline company must comply with the authority's training outline. If it does not comply, not only will the training results be invalidated, but the authority will also punish them in the future. Therefore, Hu Guangbi did not embarrass Xu Cang, but told the truth.
When asking for special permission from the bureau, Xu Cang first thought of his master. But as Chen Xiangdong himself said when they met before, a deputy position is just a sinecure, and he doesn't usually take care of things. If he went to Chen Xiangdong, it might cause trouble for his master. So, he turned to Di Qingquan.
In the Yulong transportation mission, he risked his life to help Di Qingquan, so it should not be too much to ask Di Qingquan for a small favor.
However, after a phone call, Di Qingquan said that it was a bit difficult to deal with, which made Xu Cang really annoyed.
"I am indeed the chief pilot, but I am not in charge of the training outline." Di Qingquan did not dislike Xu Cang asking him for help, but he really could not help: "I think we should contact the Flight Standards Department for this matter. They formulated the training outline, so if we want special permission, we naturally have to ask them for their approval."
"Flight Standards Department?" Xu Cang thought about it carefully. At this time, he didn't seem to know anyone in the Flight Standards Department.
"Give me some time. I'll go ask the people from the Flying Standard Division. After all, you've been through life and death with Yulong, so it should be acceptable to make an exception this time. However, the process can be simplified, but the final inspection cannot be waived. This is a principle."
Xu Cang immediately said: "I didn't think about not taking the exam, it's better for me to take the exam directly!"
"That's good!" Di Qingquan hummed, "I'll talk to the Flight Standards Division later and contact you when it's ready. Also, since you've switched to Airbus this time, why not apply for dual-model qualifications for you so you don't have to keep switching back and forth."
"Ah? Is this okay?" Xu Cang was indeed tempted. He had a lot of talents in his later lives, but after his rebirth, they were all gone. He had to change them back and forth, which was really troublesome.
Compared to getting the Aircraft Standards Bureau to agree to simplify Xu Cang's training process, applying for dual-model qualifications for Xu Cang is much easier. Di Qingquan said directly: "This is easy, I will do it for you as soon as I arrive. After you obtain the Airbus qualification, you don't need to change your license, you can directly give you a dual-model endorsement."
"Sure, sure!" I originally wanted to get a franchise, but I didn't expect to get an unexpected gain.
"Oh, there's one more thing." Di Qingquan said, "The reward for Yulong Transportation has been approved. Give me a card number and I'll call you."
"Here... the money is here!!!" Upon hearing this, Xu Cang's eyes glowed like flashlights: "I'll give it to you right away, hahahaha, our bureau is really generous. Our company promised me a reward of tens of thousands of yuan before, but there's still no action until now, how stingy!"
What Xu Cang was complaining about was the promise made by Wang Xuan to him during his emergency landing at Tianshan Mountain in exchange for a slight whitewash for the captain on duty, Tan Heling. As a result, a long time had passed since the incident, and there was no news at all, as if nothing had been heard from. Xu Cang strongly doubted whether Wang Xuan's words were true or not.
In the end, the bureau was indeed straightforward. Not only were they generous, but once the incident was concluded and confirmed, the reward was given directly, without any ambiguity.
With this money, Yuanye Pharmaceutical should be able to survive for a while. However, I still have to go to Yuanye Pharmaceutical in person to check the progress of the immunosuppressant development, so as not to make any mistakes.
Di Qingquan was so excited when he heard this on the other end of the phone, and he also showed a slightly relieved smile. People like Xu Cang who have made contributions should not be neglected, otherwise it would be disheartening.
"And more!" Di Qingquan suddenly said, "Just yesterday, we received a formal application from Boeing, requesting to test the 777 at Daocheng Yading Airport. They even attached a list of testers. Xu Cang, I see you are in it."
Xu Cang gradually stopped smiling: "Yeah!"
"Xu Cang, you have never done any test flight training, and you have never flown the 777, right? Just relying on the temporary training during this period, you dare to participate in the test of the 777?" Di Qingquan asked.
Xu Cang laughed and said, "I don't have time to participate in any 777 training."
"What did you say?" Di Qingquan was confused by this: "Didn't you admit that you would participate in the test of 777? How can you participate in the test if you don't learn how to operate 777?"
"Chief Engineer, you may have made a mistake about something." Xu Cang said seriously, "How do you know that I can't drive a 777?"
…
The next day, Feibiao called Xu Cang to inform him that the filing had been completed. Xu Cang immediately went to the company to complete the entry procedures. It can only be said that Shanhai Airlines is indeed remarkable in terms of humanized services.
Considering that Xu Cang had just arrived, Feibiao even arranged a special person to accompany Xu Cang and guide him to various departments to complete the procedures.
The Shanhang building was not big, and with someone to show the way, the formalities were handled incredibly quickly, and everything was done in less than half an hour. After everything was done, Xu Cang had a meal in the Shanhang cafeteria before returning to Longcheng Community.
Although Xu Cang did not agree to join Shanhang completely, but only agreed to be seconded, Shanhang still arranged a house for Xu Cang in Longcheng Community, with two bedrooms and one living room, for single living, and also equipped it with a lot of furniture and electrical appliances, which was quite good.
Moreover, Shandong Airlines not only has a canteen at the company base, but they even set up a small canteen in Longcheng Community, which is a specially renovated house. All meals are free for Shandong Airlines employees to eat.
In addition, Shandong Airlines also specially contracted a dry cleaning shop in the community to provide related services to its employees at a price lower than the average market price, because the pilot's jacket is not easy to wash with water and can only be dry cleaned.
Finally, there are service points in the community specifically for employees to store their belongings, as well as to send and receive express deliveries. Xu Cang even heard that Shandong Airlines intends to jointly establish a half-branch school near Longcheng Community with a good primary school in the city, so that employees can solve their children's schooling problems.
Just after these few days, if Xu Cang didn't have his own dream of an aviation empire, he would really want to stay in Shandong Airlines. It's so cool here, it's a paradise on earth for pilots.
Three days later, after receiving the theoretical training notice from Feibiao, Xu Cang rushed to the company that day. He did not go to the training classroom immediately, but went directly to Feibiao. In the Feibiao office, Xu Cang also met Chen Jian, who worked part-time at Feibiao.
Xu Cang sighed in his heart, he is indeed the future director of the Flight Standards Department of the General Administration, and this part-time job choice is so professionally suitable.
Chen Jian remembered Xu Cang, but the relationship between them was not that close. When they met, Chen Jian just nodded to Xu Cang.
Without worrying about Chen Jian's affairs for the time being, Xu Cang immediately found the staff of Feibiao Management Theory Training and asked, "Did the bureau send an email?"
Last night, Di Qingquan told Xu Cang that the Feibiao Division had agreed to Xu Cang's application for a concession for simplified training, and that they would send an email to Shandong Airlines the next day.
"Email, which one?"
Xu Cang said excitedly: "I am Xu Cang, this is a special email about my simplified training."
"Ah? There's this!" The staff member quickly went to the mailbox and looked through it, and actually found it. Since it was an unprecedented concession, the staff member confirmed it word by word, and finally called his senior to ask about it, and finally called the General Administration of Flight Standards to confirm it, which ensured that there was no problem.
After a series of operations, Xu Cang saw that the email was correct and he breathed a sigh of relief. He hurriedly said, "Is this all right?"
The staff looked at Xu Cang in disbelief, wondering who on earth was this guy, and how could he even get such a special license? However, the email also emphasized that the practical inspection of theory and modification could not be exempted, which made the staff quite confused.
If the training can be exempted really through connections, then why is the most critical exam not exempted?
However, the staff member did not dwell on it too much. Xu Cang's identity had nothing to do with her. So, the staff member took out a teaching log and pointed to a signature column: "When the ground instructor comes, you can ask them to sign, and the theoretical training will be over. However, the bureau requires that you cannot be exempted from the theoretical examination. When can you arrange it? Do you need to set aside some time for review?"
"No need!" Xu Cang said directly: "If possible, it would be best to arrange it for me today."
"Ah?" The staff member doubted his ears: "Don't you need to read the book? Our Shandong Airlines has strict requirements for make-up exams. You should be more confident before taking the exam."
To be honest, this staff member was pretty nice and was kind enough to remind Xu Cang.
As a result, Xu Cangtou shook his head like a rattle: "No, no! I will go find the instructor to sign right away. Please arrange it for me as soon as possible. It would be best if it can be scheduled today."
"Okay, okay!" The staff member scratched his head and said, "You're too fast. I'm not sure if the test paper is out yet. Go find the teacher to sign first. I'll ask about the test paper later."
"Sure, sure!" Xu Cang picked up the teaching diary and ran outside. The theoretical training was about to begin, so he went to find the instructor to sign. Then, if he was lucky, he could take the written test at the same time. The pace was really tight.
The training classroom was in the corridor opposite the Feibiao office. When Xu Cang arrived, there were still about five minutes before the training started. As soon as he came in, Xu Cang found three plain-clothed employees standing on the stage in front, and more than 20 co-pilots participating in the theoretical training were sitting below the stage, all in uniform.
The three employees in casual clothes were probably teachers, two men and one woman. One of the men was a little younger, while the other two looked older.
At this time, the older middle-aged man stepped over his two colleagues, put his hands on the podium, glanced at the twenty or so co-pilots below, and shouted, "The three of us are the teachers for this ground theory class. This ground theory class will last for a month, and the three of us will teach for ten days each. The theory test will be held the day after the theory class, and 80 points are required to pass, so you'd better stay alert during this month. If you fall behind a little, it will be difficult to keep up."
The audience fell silent. Most of them had just gone through the initial Boeing modification. For any pilot, the initial modification was not a good experience. When they thought about having to go through it again, many people's faces fell.
The middle-aged teacher nodded in satisfaction when he saw that everyone below was silent. However, he soon noticed Xu Cang standing in the corner behind him, and found that he was holding a document in his hand, so he asked in confusion, "What do you want?"
"Ah? Oh, instructor, hello!" Xu Cang hurried to the podium, took out his teaching log, and whispered to the instructor: "Instructor, it's like this. I got a special permission from the bureau to be exempted from one month of ground theory teaching. The flying mark asked me to come here and ask you to sign it."
Xu Cang deliberately lowered his voice because he didn't want the co-pilots in the audience to hear him. After all, this was not something worth publicizing. The two instructors standing in the back also heard what Xu Cang said. They looked at each other, and the female instructor asked, "Are you saying that the Aviation Standards Department of the Bureau has granted permission? Exempting ground teaching is against the training syllabus. Only the Aviation Standards Department can grant permission."
"That's right!" Xu Cang nodded: "Feibiao has already received the email from the bureau, so they asked me to come over to sign."
"You..." The teachers looked at each other in bewilderment. This was the first time they had heard of this. However, they did not doubt what Xu Cang said. This place was only a few steps away from the flying dartboard. If they asked if there was an email from the bureau, they would know. How could Xu Cang lie?
"What do you mean?" The female teacher first looked at the middle-aged male teacher. It seemed that the older male teacher was the backbone.
However, the instructor snorted coldly and did not take the teaching log in Xu Cang's hand at all: "I have taught ground theory courses in Guoda Aviation for thirteen years, and I have never met someone like you. I didn't expect that you, Shandong Airlines, would be so open-minded as soon as I arrived. You must have a strong relationship to be able to use the back door of the bureau, but I can't sign this."
These three instructors are not local instructors of Shandong Airlines. Shandong Airlines does not have Airbus aircraft, so where would the Airbus theoretical instructors come from? They were all temporarily brought in from China National Aviation Corporation to teach.
To be honest, this middle-aged instructor has a bad temper. However, he also has his own reasons. Guoda Airlines is the top airline in China, and there are many people with strong connections there, but they still finished the ground course obediently under him. However, in a second-rate small airline like Shandong Airlines, he met a bold person like Xu Cang right away, which really made him unhappy.
There are many turtles in shallow water. This is what the middle-aged instructor feels about Shanhang.
The female teacher was in a better mood and asked, "Little brother, will you still take the next exam?"
"Take the test!" Xu Cang nodded.
"That's it!" the female teacher advised, "You still have to take the exam, but it's not like you can be exempted from the exam, right? Just listen to the class and be casual."
The female teacher's meaning was very clear. They would give face to the bureau and let Xu Cang do it for show. They would not make it difficult for Xu Cang in the subsequent exams. This would be good for everyone.
However, Xu Cang did shake his head: "I'm sorry, teacher! I really don't have time to attend the class. Besides, I can't listen to anything."
The middle-aged teacher raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean? Are you saying that you don't need to attend the class anymore, because you know everything?"
Xu Cang nodded naturally: "You can say that."
"Okay!" the middle-aged teacher shouted, "You are so arrogant! You want my signature? Fine! I will test you carefully. As long as your answer satisfies me, I will make an exception and sign for you."
After saying that, the middle-aged instructor shouted to the co-pilots below: "You guys should bear witness to this. Do you hear me?"
It seems like this middle-aged teacher has no other hobbies besides teaching. His voice is so loud that when he yells, the ears of the people below are buzzing.
However, all the co-pilots below looked at Xu Cang with curiosity. Xu Cang was a stranger, and no one knew where he came from, daring to argue with the ground instructor.
The tone he spoke just now was extremely arrogant!
The female teacher and the young teacher behind her all smiled bitterly. This middle-aged teacher had a very bad temper. They didn't dare to persuade him because they didn't have enough qualifications. In the end, they had to let him test Xu Cang.
But the female instructor didn't understand why Xu Cang, who looked quite smart, spoke without thinking. There was a vast sea of ​​aircraft theory, and even Airbus itself might not know everything. How could a co-pilot like him have such courage?
"Then let me ask you, what is the EPU under the navigation of the IRS alone?"
Xu Cang didn't even think about it: "The first thirty minutes, eight nautical miles per hour. The next sixty minutes, zero nautical miles per hour, the next thirty minutes, four nautical miles per hour, the next sixty minutes, zero nautical miles per hour, and then two nautical miles per hour."
"Huh?" A hint of surprise flashed across the middle-aged teacher's eyes. Xu Cang's answer was exactly the same.
The female teacher and the young teacher at the back were also very surprised. It seemed that Xu Cang still had some energy left and he answered the questions very easily.
"What about IRS-DME/DME?" the middle-aged teacher asked.
"0.1 nautical mile plus 0.05 times the DME distance, the minimum is 0.28 nautical miles." Xu Cang's answer was still very calm.
The middle-aged instructor pursed his lips and said, "Then let me ask you what factors affect the optimal target speed?"
Xu Cang smiled slightly: "Cost index, cruising altitude, gross weight, wind and temperature modules, and performance coefficient."
"How many ways does the engine have to slow down? What are they?"
"There are three types: modulating slow, approach slow, and reverse slow."
“What system determines the position of the compressor variable vanes?”
"VSV system!"
As soon as this question was answered, the middle-aged teacher's expression suddenly changed. This question was already considered an extremely unpopular one, and it turned out that Xu Cang was not stumped at all.
As for the co-pilots below, they were watching Xu Cang's magical performance. They had not received any theoretical training, and they didn't know whether Xu Cang was right or not. They could guess it by looking at the middle-aged instructor's increasingly strange expression.
The middle-aged instructor gritted his teeth and said, "Then do you know where the FADEC is installed?"
After these words came out, even the two teachers behind them were confused. They knew what FADEC was and what functions it had, but who would think about where it was installed?
To be honest, asking this question is already a bit unethical. Some questions are meaningful, and some are meaningless. If you just rely on being unpopular, even if you stump people, it's still a bit shameful.
However, Xu Cang just smiled softly: "Teacher, I didn't expect you were still thinking about this?"
The middle-aged teacher was a little annoyed: "Just tell me if you know something, don't talk nonsense."
At this time, the female teacher wanted to intervene to mediate the situation, lest the news spread and make everyone look bad. After all, this problem was too difficult, and even their fellow teachers didn't know the answer.
Xu Cang's smile widened, and he answered leisurely: "It's in... the fan casing, right, teacher?"
