In the cabin, Xu Cang's nostrils twitched, but he still didn't smell any so-called gasoline. However, asthma patients are generally more sensitive to abnormal smells than ordinary people, so Xu Cang didn't dare to directly deny the middle-aged man's words.
With the guidance of the middle-aged man, the flight attendant quickly found a spray in the red backpack. He quickly handed it to the middle-aged man, who took a few deep puffs and let out a long sigh as if he had tasted some divine delicacy.
Most of these sprays are short-acting hormone drugs that can greatly inhibit bronchospasm, which is the reason why asthma patients have difficulty breathing during an attack.
Generally speaking, this kind of antispasmodic aerosol drug takes effect very quickly. Within two minutes, the middle-aged man felt much more comfortable, and his breathing gradually calmed down. However, it was not known whether it was due to lack of oxygen or the lingering fear of escaping death, but his face was still as pale as paper, without any blood color.
This man was polite. After he recovered, he first expressed his gratitude to the flight attendant, then patted Xu Cang's arm and said, "Little brother, I'm so sorry for scaring you just now."
He didn't even need to think about it to imagine how scary his breath-short look was just now. He was probably not far from the look of someone dying by hanging.
"It's okay, it's okay." Xu Cang quickly shook his head: "This is indeed quite sudden, but I'm fine."
The most terrifying moment was when the flight attendant turned on the light to illuminate the man's face, but the rest of the time it was okay.
At this time, the flight attendant noticed that the middle-aged man's breathing seemed to have returned to normal, and asked, "Sir, do you need to change seats? There are fewer people in the front row."
The first class and business class were full, but the first three rows of the economy class were not crowded, so it was relatively spacious and probably more comfortable.
Moreover, the location was very close to the front cabin workroom, so she could hear any slight movement. The previous incident really scared the flight attendant, and she didn't want it to happen again.
"Is it okay?" The middle-aged man was still a little embarrassed.
Normally, the flight attendant would definitely try not to let passengers change seats, but now he didn't care so much. He nodded hurriedly: "If you are willing, I will go to the front to make some more arrangements and help you vacate an empty triple seat."
The flight attendant looked at her watch and saw that the plane was stable at the moment. She thought that they would be able to resume cabin service in a short while. At that time, it would be convenient for her to communicate with the passengers in the front row. After all, strictly speaking, she was illegally leaving her seat.
The middle-aged man also hoped that there would be more space around him so that he could sit more comfortably, so he hurriedly thanked her, "Okay, okay, thank you."
"It's my duty." Seeing that the middle-aged man was in a normal mood and spoke clearly, the flight attendant finally felt relieved. After all, he had escaped a disaster.
She had been away from her seat for too long, it was time to go back. She had originally planned to give the middle-aged man some instructions, but when she thought about how he had just had an asthma attack and had lost his basic mobility, she realized that she couldn't rely on him at all. So she noticed Xu Cang sitting next to her and whispered, "Brother, I'll come over in a while, can you help me take a look, ok?"
Xu Cang nodded: "It's okay, you can go back first, you have been staying here for too long."
The flight attendant was very grateful, and after looking at the middle-aged man again, she returned to the front cabin workroom after confirming that he was fine. She had indeed violated the rules by leaving her seat, but depending on the situation, this could be a big or small problem. She had to explain the situation to the flight attendants below her so that they could focus on the relevant personnel in the future.
After the flight attendant left, the middle-aged man leaned back and tried to regulate his breathing. Even at this moment, his heart was still pounding.
Suddenly, Xu Cang's voice came from beside him, asking: "Sorry to disturb your rest. What did you mean by smelling gasoline? I seem to be fine."
The middle-aged man opened his eyes, shook his head, and frowned: "Eh, it seems to be gone. Actually, I'm not sure, I just feel it is there."
"Oh, I see." Xu Cang didn't worry too much. In high-altitude environments, there would sometimes be some strange smells in the cabin, and they weren't necessarily the smell of gasoline.
In fact, there is no gasoline on the plane. The plane uses aviation kerosene, which is called No. 3 fuel in China. Although they are both fuel, there are actually some differences in the smell of the two. It's just that ordinary people can't tell the difference and just generally think it's the smell of gasoline.
I glanced out the window. In the dimly lit sky, the outline of Engine No. 1 was relatively easy to discern. When I listened carefully, the sound of the engine running... seemed normal.
Shaking his head to clear the distracting thoughts in his mind, Xu Cang secretly laughed at himself, thinking that he might be too nervous and was always wondering if the plane was going to crash.
Restraining his vague sense of danger, Xu Cang put his knees on the back of the seat in front of him and curled up again. A few minutes later, just as the flight attendant had said, she finished explaining everything and when the time was almost up, she left the front cabin workroom to coordinate with the passengers in the front row, quickly vacated a seat, and then went to find the asthmatic middle-aged man.
This time, there was also a flight attendant with the chief purser. The chief purser asked his flight attendant to lead the middle-aged man to the new seat in the front, while he had something to say to Xu Cang in private.
At this time, Xu Cang moved his seat to the aisle seat, next to the window, with an inconvenient armrest on one side. As soon as Xu Cang sat down, the flight attendant bent down and asked, "Brother, I just checked the first class cabin, there is still an empty seat. Do you want to sit in the first class cabin?"
"No thanks." Xu Cang refused without even thinking. The first class cabin was full of old men, whom he hated so much that he felt physically uncomfortable breathing the same air with them.
The flight attendant didn't know what happened between Xu Cang and the old pilots in the first-class cabin in front, and thought that Xu Cang was being polite. He immediately advised: "Brother, it's okay. There are not so many restrictions on upgrading the cabin for internal employees of the company."
"No!" Xu Cang knew that the flight attendant had misunderstood and was about to explain it. However, his ears moved slightly and his breathing suddenly tightened. He vaguely felt that there was something unusual about the sound of the engine.
The flight attendant noticed Xu Cang's expression suddenly changed, and subconsciously asked, "Brother, what's wrong?"
"Quiet!" Just as Xu Cang's voice fell, bang! A very obvious and crisp sound came into Xu Cang's ears. Even in the noisy sound of the engine, the sound was very obvious, like the sound of steel cracking.
Almost at the same time, Xu Cang made an incredible sound: "The transmission shaft... is broken!?"
To be honest, it is impossible to accurately judge what happened based on a sound alone. However, Xu Cang thought of the possibility of the engine drive shaft breaking at an almost intuitive speed.
As if in response to Xu Cang's guess, in the instant after the sound of the collapse, the sound of metal colliding one after another almost drowned out the rumbling sound of the engine.
The noise was so loud that even the flight attendant could sense that something was wrong. She stood up straight and looked in the direction of the No. 1 engine in confusion, because she could roughly tell that the noise just now came from that direction.
Not only did the flight attendant hear it, but passengers who were closer to the left engine also noticed something was wrong. The flight attendant became suspicious and asked first, "Brother, what was that noise just now?"
"Fly..." Xu Cang had just uttered a word when the entire plane was lifted up by a huge airflow, vibrating horribly with an extremely exaggerated amplitude. Then, a loud noise that seemed to explode next to the ears resounded throughout the entire cabin.
Xu Cang subconsciously covered his ears at the loud noise. However, he soon discovered that the flight attendant was unstable due to the sudden and violent shaking of the plane and was about to fall down.
The aisle of an airplane is different from the ground. If you fall on the ground, the worst that can happen is a skin scrape. However, the aisle of an airplane is too narrow. If you fall hard and hit the seat parts, I don’t know what will happen.
Fortunately, Xu Cang was quick-witted and grabbed the flight attendant's wrist, then pulled her along. With a cry of delight, the flight attendant sat directly into Xu Cang's arms.
Xu Cang felt nothing at all when the tender and soft beauty came into his arms. He just wrapped his arm around the flight attendant's soft waist to hold it in place.
At the same time, Xu Cang faced the direction of the engine and through the porthole, he clearly saw the tail nozzle of the No. 1 engine spewing out dazzling flames, which was extremely ferocious.
"Did the engine explode?" The sudden explosion just now was too loud, so it was easy to associate it with the engine explosion. Perhaps there was no need for professional judgment, just the passengers who knew nothing could roughly distinguish it.
It’s just worth pondering why the key engine exploded.
After the initial shaking caused by the engine impact, the aircraft body quickly returned to calm without any particularly large changes in state.
Xu Cang thought to himself that it must be because Instructor Shi Qi reacted quickly and quickly controlled the plane that was about to lose control due to the engine explosion.
It must be mentioned that Instructor Shi Qi's technique was really swift and precise. Unlike ordinary engine failures or more similar engine fires, although the final result was the same, the process was completely different.
When the engine explodes, the impact of air will cause the aircraft body to undergo a huge state change in a short period of time. Moreover, this process will be accompanied by a sudden inconsistency in the engine's thrust.
If it is a simple engine fire, then when the fire occurs, the engine thrust may not experience a sudden change in value. In some cases, the engine can even continue to run for a period of time under combustion conditions.
Therefore, a simple engine fire often does not involve a problem of sudden engine thrust difference, but rather it is relatively easy to control the aircraft status.
On the contrary, if the engine suddenly shuts down without warning, the state under differential thrust should be considered to have changed suddenly. However, this does not mean that engine fire is easier to handle than engine failure. In fact, the severity of fire is higher than that of simple engine failure.
This difference is reflected in the way of announcing an emergency situation. When an engine fire occurs, the crew usually announces MAYDAY, but if the engine simply fails to flame out, the crew will usually only announce PANPAN.
PANPAN is an emergency, but it does not threaten life safety immediately. However, MAYDAY has already directly affected life safety, so there is still a difference in the degree of urgency between the two.
In civil aviation flights, no matter what type of aircraft or at what stage of flight, as long as a fire occurs, it is a special situation with extremely high priority and needs to be handled immediately.
In order to land as quickly as possible, even unconventional actions are allowed in some cases, such as landing with excessive weight.
The reason why fire alarms are so urgent is not only that they will cause multiple system failures, but also that fire alarms will extend to a very tricky problem, that is, smoke.
Due to the need for pressurization, if smoke appears in the cabin, you can't just open the windows like a car on the ground. Of course, both Airbus and Boeing aircraft have smoke exhaust programs, but given the special environment of the aircraft, the smoke exhaust efficiency is really worrying, and in many cases the exhaust efficiency is not as fast as the speed of smoke generation.
Under great psychological pressure, coupled with the sudden change in the aircraft's state, there may be control errors or slow reactions. However, except for the uncontrollable attitude changes at the beginning, the aircraft was quite stable in the following period.
Xu Cang tilted his head and glanced forward along the aisle, and found that the cabins in front and behind seemed to be relatively quiet, with no obvious chaos.
Although engine explosions are very rare, the situation seems to have stabilized so far. Moreover, the plane is not far from taking off, so the return trip will not take too long.
In this era, many airports have not been built or opened, and there are not many choices for alternate landing fields. Airports like Qizhou with relatively good runway conditions are even rarer, so being able to return in a relatively short time is a blessing in disguise. Then I listened carefully to the sound of the No. 2 engine, and it was finally normal.
However, Xu Cang couldn't trust his ears too much, as many time failures happened in a flash and it was impossible to predict.
Just as Xu Cang was assessing the situation, he felt a soft body in his arms move slightly. Xu Cang then realized that he was still holding the chief steward.
After reacting, Xu Cang realized that because he was too nervous just now, his right hand was around the waist of the flight attendant, and he was so strong that the flight attendant's body was tightly pressed against Xu Cang.
"Brother, are you okay?" The moment Xu Cang reacted, a voice that seemed to turn steel into soft silk echoed in his ears.
Xu Cang quickly said: "Ah? Oh, it's okay."
So, he immediately loosened his right hand that was hugging the flight attendant. Instead, at this moment, the flight attendant's originally tense body suddenly softened, as if it was made of the smoothest water.
After Xu Cang released his right arm, he thought the flight attendant would stand up on his own. However, after waiting for two or three seconds, he found that the flight attendant was still sitting in his arms, and the place where their bodies touched seemed to be getting warmer and warmer, as if Xu Cang was not holding a body in his arms, but a flame that was about to ignite.
After waiting for a long time, Xu Cang wanted to pat the flight attendant, but he still paid attention and raised his hand to pat the flight attendant's shoulder: "Is there any problem?"
"Ah? No!" The chief flight attendant stood up immediately after Xu Cang asked, and ran hurriedly to the workroom in the front cabin without even turning back.
Xu Cang touched his head: "What?"
…
At this time, in the cockpit, shortly after the explosion of the No. 1 engine, a large amount of ECAM consulting information emerged, and Wu Taiming felt dizzy when he saw it.
As the power source of the entire aircraft, damage to any engine will cause a large number of chain failures, such as electrical, hydraulic, and flight control.
However, the most urgent thing is the engine fire warning light that comes on!
The engine fire caused by the explosion needs to be dealt with urgently, while other situations can be postponed for a while. It is necessary to distinguish the primary from the secondary.
However, Shi Qi did not just focus on the fire on Engine 1. Before taking any action, he instructed Wu Taiming, "Start the APU!"
Wu Taiming was a little dizzy from the huge explosion, but after hearing Shi Qi's calm words, he calmed down a little, said "oh", and immediately started the APU.
Although the aircraft has automatic power switching, the APU power should be connected to the system as quickly as possible to ensure that the aircraft is always supplied by two AC power supplies.
Moreover, the simple action of starting the APU is not complicated and will not take much time.
When an engine exploded, the drastic change in the initial state of the aircraft had already disconnected the autopilot. Shi Qi did not connect the autopilot after correcting the aircraft's state, but took control of the aircraft manually. If it was just a problem with one engine, it would still be manageable for Shi Qi.
After Wu Taiming started the APU, Shi Qi directly put the thrust handle of the No. 1 engine back to the slow speed, and then signaled Wu Taiming: "Turn off the main switch of the No. 1 engine."
This step is somewhat different from Boeing's fire alarm procedure. In Boeing's procedure, this action should be replaced by cutting off the engine starting handle on the corresponding side.
However, in a sense , the Airbus engine main switch and the Boeing starter handle have a lot of overlap in function, so in essence, this step can also be considered the same.
At this time, Wu Taiming was extremely nervous, but he still relied on his instinct to follow Shi Qi's instructions, quickly located the main switch of the No. 1 engine, and then turned it off.
Shi Qi was controlling the aircraft while paying attention to Wu Taiming's actions. After confirming that Wu Taiming had turned off the main switch of the No. 1 engine, he almost didn't stop and gave another order: "Press the fire alarm button of the No. 1 engine."
The engine fire alarm button usually has a transparent cover to prevent the crew from accidentally touching it. Under normal circumstances, the button is pressed. If you press it again, the button will be pushed out. After that, the fire alarm sound warning disappears, and the light will stay on until the fire is extinguished, and the FADEC of the corresponding engine will no longer be powered.
The function of this button is somewhat similar to Boeing's pull-out fire extinguisher handle. It can also pre-position the fire extinguisher bottle explosion cap, close the fuel low-pressure valve, close the hydraulic system fire alarm cut-off switch and the engine bleed air valve, component flow control valve and disconnect the IDG.
Its essence is to isolate the problematic engine from the entire aircraft system, that is, to cut off power, oil and hydraulic pressure.
After that, after the engine fire alarm button popped out, the two fire extinguisher buttons were activated and were in a pre-positioned and available state. After Shi Qi counted down ten seconds, he told Wu Taiming to press the button for fire extinguisher 1.
The reason for waiting for ten seconds is to allow N1 to drop to a small enough level so as to reduce the ventilation of the engine nacelle. Otherwise, if the airflow in the nacelle is too strong, the fire extinguishing agent may be blown away, thus greatly reducing the fire extinguishing effect.
Thirty seconds later, after observing that the engine's fire alarm signal had not been extinguished, the button for fire extinguishing agent 2 was also pressed. If the fire had not been extinguished, the crew would be powerless.
"Wait a moment, and then execute the shutdown procedure." Shi Qi licked his cracked lips. In this case, don't think about restarting the engine. You can still wait for the effect of the fire extinguishing system. Before executing the shutdown procedure, Wu Taiming still has one thing to do.
Shi Qi glanced at the fire alarm panel and sighed: "Let's declare MAYDAY. Let's go back to Qizhou and apply for radar guidance."
…
At this moment, at Shandong Airlines's operation control center, the phone on duty suddenly rang. The security duty manager, who had been leisurely, picked up the phone and asked, "What's the matter?"
A man's voice came from the other end of the line: "Hello, this is the National University Headquarters Operation Control Center. We have detected an alarm in the key system of flight 1241. You can get the relevant information."
"1241?" The safety manager immediately took his feet off the table and asked, "Can you tell me what the problem is?"
Guoda Transportation Control apologized: "Our monitoring system cannot distinguish the specific situation at present. You need to understand it yourself."
"Okay, got it." After saying that, the security manager hung up the phone.
The safety manager was actually not familiar with the aircraft number 1241, because it was the number of the Airbus planes that Guoda Airlines forced on Shandong Airlines.
Airbus has done one thing very well, that is, the linkage of information systems is very good. When a certain aircraft has a problem, the operation control of the airline to which it belongs can receive relevant alarms. However, being able to alarm is already the limit. It is impossible to further subdivide which system has a problem or which fault, because it is not yet so advanced.
However, since those Airbuses had only recently arrived at Shandong Airlines and had not yet been connected to Shandong Airlines' operation control system, the responsibility for safety monitoring still rests with the original airline's National Aviation Operations Control Center.
The security manager thought for a moment and shouted to the worker at the workstation in front of him, "Can you check what flight flight 1241 is on now?"
The staff member in front of him typed on his computer for a while, then quickly turned around and answered the security manager: "This should be the Qizhou to Hanjing section, flight number 9451, which just took off not long ago."
"If it was not long after takeoff, it should still be within the Qizhou regional control area." The security manager scratched his chin and immediately picked up the phone to call the Qizhou regional control room.
The call was quickly connected, and the safety manager immediately said, "Hello, this is Shanhai Airlines' Operation Control Center."
When the other side heard that it was Shandong Airlines, their attitude was very good. After all, in Qizhou, Shandong Airlines was quite generous to the control units and had a very good reputation.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
The security manager was relieved when he heard the relaxed tone of the people in the control room. It seemed that the problem was not too serious, otherwise the control room would have exploded first. However, he quickly said, "It's like this. We have detected a problem with a plane. The flight number is 9451, the aircraft number is 1241, from Qizhou to Hanjing. The plane did not leave the Qizhou area, right?"
"Wait a minute!" said the person in the control room. About half a minute later, the person in the control room spoke again: "We haven't left the area yet! There is a problem with this plane, but we haven't received any report from the crew yet..."
The safety manager was relieved now. "Hello, could you please contact the crew to ask for details? I'll be waiting for your call."
"That's no problem!" The people in the control room were very straightforward.
However, just as the safety manager was about to thank the person and hang up, he heard a burst of noise from the other end of the line. Before he could figure out what was going on, a voice from the control room on the other side of the line rang out: "Oh no, 9451 has issued an emergency code. I'm going to take care of the plane first, and I'll contact you if there's any follow-up information."
The security manager wanted to say a few more words, but just as the words came to his lips, the phone was disconnected with a beep.
The safety manager was stunned for a moment, then he slammed the phone shut, wanting to curse. The guy in the control room was saying everything was fine one second, and the next second the plane had an emergency code. It was so unlucky.
After thinking for a while, the safety manager patted the subordinate in front of him and told him to keep an eye on the phone in the Qizhou regional control room, and then he hurried to the office of the general manager of the flight department upstairs.
This is the first time that an emergency code has been issued since Shandong Airlines was founded more than a year ago.
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 went up the stairs directly. When he opened the door of the general manager of the flight department's office panting and was about to explain the situation, he swallowed the words that were on his lips.
I saw another woman in the office of the general manager of the flight department. It turned out to be Shi Lingling who had been collecting reporting materials in the Shandong Airlines building these days. Some time ago, the Education Center planned to do a special report on Shandong Airlines, and Shi Lingling was the person in charge. During this period, she had interviewed many leaders of Shandong Airlines, and now it seemed to be the general manager of the flight department's turn.
The safety manager was a little embarrassed in such an embarrassing situation. Being able to appear in the publicity materials of the mission center was still a bit of a face-saving thing, but it seemed not good to interrupt the interview of the general manager of the flight department.
The general manager of the flight department was open-minded and not annoyed. He waved to the safety manager and motioned him to come in: "What's wrong? What happened?"
The safety manager glanced at Shi Lingling, who was sitting opposite the general manager of the flight department, and seemed to be hesitant to speak. He didn't know whether he should tell the emergency situation in front of the representative of the bureau.
Seeing the awkward look on the safety manager's face, the general manager of the flight department guessed most of what was going on. He had no intention of hiding it, as he would have to submit a detailed report to the bureau afterwards anyway, and now that the bureau's representative was here, perhaps he could save himself the trouble.
This is the confidence of Shandong Airlines. They believe that even if there are representatives from the authority present, they can handle special situations in an orderly manner without leaving any loopholes.
"Tell me, what's going on?" said the general manager of the flight department.
Now that his boss had spoken, the security manager no longer had any concerns and immediately said, "Flight 9451 just issued an emergency code."
The general manager of the flight department was stunned. Even though he was mentally prepared, he still didn't expect that an emergency code would be required. He couldn't help but get nervous: "What's the problem? Do you understand?"
"I don't know yet." The security manager said, "I've asked Qizhou Control to ask."
Just as the general manager of the flight department and the safety manager were asking and answering each other, Shi Lingling, who had been silent all this time, suddenly exclaimed, " Did you just say flight 9451? It's flying to Hanjing, right?"
The security manager nodded: "Yes, Miss Shi, how did you know?"
Shi Lingling's face suddenly changed: "My dad is up there!"
…
In the cockpit of Flight 9451, an old man with white hair and beard was sitting in the originally empty observer seat. It turned out to be Instructor Wang Baotian who had previously visited Xu Cang.
This time he was one of the 23 meritorious pilots who went to Hanjing to file a complaint. The explosion just now really alarmed them, and since it was closely related to their lives, Wang Baotian was elected as a representative to enter the cockpit to understand the current situation.
Wang Baotian was born in Boeing and had never flown an Airbus. In his eyes, the Airbus was like a mystery, because the first Airbus 320 in China was introduced by Sichuan Airlines only 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 take a look at the specific situation of the plane and the crew's assessment attitude towards the special situation.
At this moment, the plane had already begun to turn back to Qizhou Airport. Before Wang Baotian entered the cockpit, Shi Qi and Wu Taiming had already completed the shutdown procedure, which meant that the plane was about to land with a single engine.
Wang Baotian looked around at the instruments, but he didn't ask one by one what the warning lights were for. He knew better than to interrupt in areas he didn't understand, and if he talked too much, it would affect Shi Qi's work rhythm.
At this time, the cockpit was relatively harmonious. Due to the single engine, many flight data needed to be changed after returning to Qizhou, such as cruising altitude and speed, alternate landing fuel, etc.
Most of these tasks were handled by Wu Taiming, while Shi Qi was mainly responsible for making decisions and controlling the status of the aircraft.
After waiting for a while, Shi Qi tried to connect the automatic driving again, but it still didn't work, which made Shi Qi a little strange.
"Is it because the automatic driving cannot be connected?" Wang Baotian saw that Shi Qi had tried to press a button for the third time, and he had a rough guess in his mind.
Shi Qi did not hide it: "Yeah! But it is also very strange. Logically speaking, a problem with one engine should not cause the automatic driving to fail."
Wang Baotian can understand this point, which is actually the same concept as Boeing. In the case of a single engine, the automatic throttle may not be very useful, but the autopilot can still be connected, which can greatly reduce the control pressure of the pilot, so that more attention can be paid to the fault itself.
"That's indeed strange. Is it because of the hydraulics?" Wang Baotian guessed.
Shi Qi didn't understand what was going on, so he just ignored it: "Forget it, if I can't take it, then I won't take it. I can just fly by myself."
"Yeah." Wang Baotian nodded. The air clearance and airflow environment of Qizhou Airport are relatively good, unlike some plateau and high plateau airports in the southwest or northwest. In those places, let alone single-engine, even twin-engine some pilots can't fly, which is fatal.
After waiting for a while, Wang Baotian asked, "Can the plane land?"
This question was also the main reason why Wang Baotian came in. He didn't want to hear Shi Qi's long speeches, he just wanted an attitude. Shi Qi's technical level can be seen in the mission book of the flight crew. Class C instructor is the ceiling of the pilot's technical level. The company inspectors, bureau inspectors, etc. behind are not technical levels, but positions.
Logically speaking, at Qizhou Airport, if there were no special circumstances, a Class C instructor should be able to land the plane. However, he needed Shi Qi to say it himself.
When this question was asked, even Wu Taiming, who was re-entering the flight data, pricked up his ears and listened carefully.
Shi Qi was full of confidence: "If that's the case, then there should be no problem falling down."
Shi Qi was quite responsible in what he said, and did not speak without thinking. So far, he could still control the status of the aircraft , but if there were any strange failures in the future, he could not guarantee that he would be able to handle them.
"Okay, your words are enough!" Wang Baotian did not ask too many questions. Now Shi Qi was the only Airbus captain on the entire plane, and they could only choose to believe Shi Qi.
At the same time, the crew who received the cockpit information had already started to get busy. On the one hand, they needed to comfort the passengers, and on the other hand, they had to prepare for the return flight to Qizhou. According to the information provided by the cockpit, the plane was estimated to land in more than 20 minutes, so time was still quite tight.
While the crew was busy, Xu Cang grabbed the chief flight attendant who was walking by and asked in a low voice: "When you contacted the front just now, did the cockpit say anything else?"
For some reason, the flight attendant's face flushed red as soon as he saw Xu Cang, and he lowered his head and replied, "Brother, I didn't say anything before, just give us an estimated landing time."
"You didn't even tell me about the planned evacuation?"
The flight attendant shook his head: "No!"
"Well, go ahead and get busy!" Xu Cang clicked his tongue, and after the purser left, he said to himself, "It doesn't look like the problem is that big."
However, there was one thing that concerned Xu Cang, that was that he had just realized that there was something odd about the flight number 9451. Wasn't the flight number of the so-called cursed flight 1549 in his memory just the reverse of the flight number?
Although Xu Cang didn't care about ghosts and gods, he still found it difficult to let go of the fact that he had been reborn. If there was really some connection between the two, even Xu Cang would feel the pressure doubled.
No, it should be a feeling of inevitable death!
The reason why Flight 1549 was called the cursed flight with no solution was not because it was impossible. Xu Cang had participated in several simulations, but they had never been successful, not to mention that there was only one chance in the actual flight.
"I hope I'm just worrying too much!" Xu Cang prayed.
