Chapter 223: The Ultimate Art of the Dao! Suppress Everything!
Xu Cang only focused his attention on the podium for a moment. When he found that Di Qingquan and Bi Lin did not pay attention to him, he thought about the agreement with Qin Yi with peace of mind.
The various difficulties that Qin Xin had mentioned before did need to be faced. Whether Erhai City could accommodate the surge in tourists was not something Xu Cang could influence. He could only do his job well.
In the first quarter of the future, nothing can be done. The problem of completing the work of the fourth quarter in the third quarter does exist, but the increase in capacity and routes is a problem. Even if the capacity problem is solved in the future, how to significantly increase the Erhai-Yangcheng route is also a question worth considering.
Now it seems that Qin Xin’s strong reaction at that time is understandable. It seems that no matter from which angle, the agreement with Qin Yi is a dead end.
However, compared to the agreement with Qin Yi, Xu Cang was more curious about the existence of Qin Yi. That's right, even though Xu Cang and Qin Xin were married in the future, he had no idea about the existence of Qin Yi.
Not only that, Qin Xin seemed to have never mentioned Xu Cang's brother-in-law, which was extremely strange.
Just as Xu Cang was thinking about these things, a voice suddenly exploded in his ears, and it was his own name. Xu Cang's heart suddenly tightened, and he raised his head suddenly, just in time to see Bi Lin on the podium looking at him. Moreover, not only Bi Lin, most of the people in the venue looked at Xu Cang.
Xu Cang's breath was caught, just like when he was a kid and was caught by the teacher for being absent-minded in class. To be honest, he didn't even listen carefully to what was said in the previous meeting, he just knew roughly that it was about the verification of the single-engine procedure of Qitai Airport.
However, what does the single-engine procedure verification have to do with me? There are many experienced captains and instructors in the field, and it is not my turn to do this anyway.
"Dean!" Xu Cang asked with a guilty conscience, "Is there...any problem?"
Subconsciously, Xu Cang first thought of his clothing problem. But then he thought, a big shot like Bi Lin wouldn't call someone out on the spot just for a piece of clothing. He shouldn't be so narrow-minded, right?
Fortunately, Bi Lin did not hide anything and said in a deep voice: "Xu Cang, what do you think of the single-engine procedure verification at Qitai Airport?"
Xu Cang was stunned. He wanted to say that he had no opinion and that he could just treat himself as a nobody. However, facing Bi Lin, Xu Cang really didn't dare to say that. He could only smile and said, "Qitai Airport has a lot of wind and snow in this season. It is located on the northern slope of Tianshan Mountain, and the surrounding terrain is complex. If we conduct a single-engine procedure verification, it will still be quite difficult and there is a little risk."
Qitai Airport is located near the northern foot of Tianshan Mountain, with an altitude of nearly 8,000 feet. Although it is not as exaggerated as Aden Airport, it is still quite high. Such a high altitude will have a relatively large negative impact on aircraft performance.
What's more, what's even more terrible is that because Qitai Airport is too close to Tianshan Mountain and is affected by the remnants of Tianshan Mountain, the airspace conditions near the airport are extremely poor, which is different from Daocheng Yading Airport.
Although Daocheng Yading Airport is at a high altitude, the surrounding terrain is not as complex as Qitai Airport. So, if it really comes to a single-engine flight, Daocheng Yading Airport may be a little easier to fly.
At the same time, the air flow at Qitai Airport is extremely unstable, and it snows all year round, the road surface is slippery, and it is a short runway. For pilots, approach is quite difficult, not to mention under single-engine conditions.
"Hmm." Bi Lin did not comment on Xu Cang's words. Originally, these were things that everyone could see clearly. Xu Cang repeated them again, and there was no new insight at all. It could be seen that Xu Cang had no desire to participate.
Xu Cang felt that with Bi Lin's experience, after his answer, he would be able to understand his thoughts, and in the end he could just go with the flow and let him go.
As a result, what Xu Cang never expected was that Bi Lin suddenly asked: "Then if you fly, is there any risk?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Cang cried out in disbelief. The moment his name was called, he had a bad feeling. How could it come true?
"Dean, I'm just a co-pilot, this shouldn't happen to me, right?" Xu Cang said innocently.
Even if the sky falls, there will always be tall people to hold it up. How can a person with three bars stand in front of a group of people with four bars?
"Who said you were young?" Bi Lin laughed, which was rare. "Except for you, the average age here is almost fifty. In other harsh environments, if they encounter some special problems, they won't be able to withstand it."
Bi Lin did not specify what the special situation was, but some special situations of the aircraft would indeed put a great burden on the pilot's physiology. If the two pilots above were both elderly, even if they had good skills, it would be useless if their bodies could not bear it.
Therefore, Bi Lin wanted the young Xu Cang to go up, just in case.
This was understandable, but for Xu Cang, it was like a bolt from the blue. Ever since he came to Hanjing, he had never had the slightest thought of wanting to participate. Just now, it seemed that a teacher had volunteered, and Xu Cang thought that it was enough to let him go, why did he have to be the one to do it?
Even if he is a brick, he can be moved wherever he is needed, but he still needs to take a break. Xu Cang is not a masochist, he just doesn't like to take risks.
"Dean, my physical fitness may not be as good as that of the teachers." Xu Cang was still thinking about how to escape: "Besides, my altitude sickness is quite severe, so I can't go to Qitai."
"Qitai's altitude is less than 8,000 feet. It's okay, it's okay." The middle-aged man who introduced the situation earlier said with some relief.
"No, this is really bad!" When encountering such a thing, Xu Cang had to sort it out clearly, otherwise something serious would happen: "I can't even jog a hundred meters without gasping for breath. My physical fitness is really not that good."
Although there is some exaggeration in Xu Cang's words, it is also true that Xu Cang's physical fitness is average, and it is not a complete exaggeration.
Bi Lin obviously didn't want to talk nonsense with Xu Cangdong, so he said directly: "What if I really want you to go?"
After this was said, before Xu Cang spoke, another teacher stood up and said, "Mr. Bi, if you think Chen Guoli is too old, then I am not even fifty yet, and I have thought about joining."
"I want to go too." Another teacher stood up.
Obviously, even if they know there is a little danger, some people are still willing to go, and they seem to be very willing. Qitai Airport single-engine procedure verification is indeed dangerous, but not big.
At the beginning of the design process, it was completely based on the performance of the passenger aircraft. The design institute cannot come up with a program that exceeds the performance of the aircraft. If something goes wrong, the design institute will be responsible. Moreover, the program has been verified by simulation, and its safety has been further confirmed, so overall, this single-engine program is still safe.
In addition, if you take the initiative to participate in this single-engine verification, you will definitely be favored by the General Administration, and your career will basically be smooth sailing. In addition, some pilots are not just for profit, but like Chen Guoli, they are military-to-civilian, and they still have a sense of responsibility for this kind of thing.
Of course, whether it was out of considerations of interests or a sense of responsibility, the situation presented to Xu Cang was that in a short period of time, seven people stood up, and some of those who did not stand were also eager to try.
Sure enough, as soon as Bi Lin mentioned letting Xu Cang participate, it directly took up a spot. How could the people below wait any longer?
Many people were extremely anxious, but Xu Cang was the only one who was overjoyed. With so many people stepping forward, he had less reason to participate.
The teachers stood up one after another, which made Di Qingquan happy and worried. He was happy that so many people wanted to participate, so there would be no shortage of people to use him. But he was worried that Xu Cang didn't seem to be interested.
Xu Cang was overjoyed and took advantage of the situation to back off: "Dean, the teachers are so enthusiastic, so I..."
What you mean is, I'll withdraw?
Originally, Xu Cang thought that there were so many people available, so there was no need to keep an eye on him, right?
However, as soon as Xu Cang finished speaking, Bi Lin directly said: "You decide on one position first, and they fight for the other one."
"This..." Xu Cang's face changed. Why was it decided so hastily? It seemed that he had not agreed to it yet.
However, compared to Xu Cang's reaction, the others seemed more intense. Admittedly, there was a little risk this time, but the rewards were much greater, so much so that many people thought they needed to strive for it.
As a result, after just a few words, before the situation was clarified, one of the places was given away, and those teachers who attached great importance to this could not accept it.
"Mr. Bi, this isn't a good idea. I admit that Xu Cang has great skills, but after all, he's only in his twenties and hasn't experienced many things yet. We can't judge him as perfect based solely on his ability to handle special situations, right?" said one of the instructors.
A pilot's skills are a reflection of his comprehensive abilities. When it comes to handling special situations, even this instructor cannot underestimate Xu Cang. However, Xu Cang is still young and lacks experience, which is a flaw.
However, the instructor was quite polite, and only used "not so perfect" to describe Xu Cang, which was actually a high evaluation. After all, many instructors in the field were involved in the administrative work of their respective airlines, and knew Xu Cang inside and out, unlike many grassroots pilots who only knew part of the situation.
Xu Cang's legendary rise was undeniable. The instructor was self-aware of this. The only thing some airlines, people of this age would have just joined the company as trainees.
"Yes, Xu Cang is not even 30 years old yet, he still has a bright future..." Another teacher spoke, this one was even more polite, halfway through his speech, he turned around and discussed with Xu Cang: "Xu Cang, I don't have a problem with you, it's just that we are really old and can't wait any longer. You still have more than 30 years of professional career, why don't you... give it to us?"
This teacher looked less than fifty years old, at least his hair was not gray yet. In this situation, he would definitely have no problem working for another ten years. So, for him, this was an opportunity worth fighting for.
On the contrary, pilots who are about to retire in one or two years are not very motivated unless they are driven by a sense of responsibility like Chen Guoli. Therefore, many of those who show strong desire are instructors around 50 years old who still have a lot of room for advancement.
No matter which industry or matter, as long as the benefits are sufficient, there will be many responses.
The teacher had already lowered his attitude. He did not dare to directly refute Bi Lin's decision and could only beg Xu Cang to give up. Although Xu Cang had no interest in the first place, he felt a little embarrassed when the teacher spoke like this.
"That's right, Xu Cang." Some teachers echoed: "You are famous now, and you will have a good career in the future with your achievements. Why bother to compete with us for this opportunity? For you, there is still a long way to go and there are many opportunities. We are different. If we miss this time, there may not be a next time."
"That's right. It's good for young people to develop their own style. It will be beneficial in the future."
Xu Cang also thought so in his heart. With so many backbones of airlines here, it would definitely be beneficial for him to go with the flow and voluntarily withdraw, leaving a good impression on the old instructors. After all, the flying circle is not large, and they will definitely have intersections in the future.
But the problem is that the person above has to convince Bi Lin first.
Finally, Chen Guoli couldn't help but ask, "Commander, have you decided on Xu Cang from the beginning?"
This was originally a rather offensive question, but Bi Lin didn't try to hide it at all and directly admitted: "That's right!"
These words made the teachers in the audience feel uncomfortable. They knew that Xu Cang was very powerful, but in Bi Lin's heart, Xu Cang's position was a little too high. After all, Xu Cang was only in his twenties, and young people had an impulsive temperament. Could he really gain such high trust?
Among them, Chen Guoli had mixed feelings. Bi Lin was a talented pilot before, so he preferred genius pilots. However, genius pilots were scarce, so Bi Lin could only slowly turn to looking for pilots who could make up for their shortcomings with hard work.
However, for Bi Lin, Xu Cang is the most perfect pilot he has been looking for. This makes Chen Guoli, who has always wanted to get Bi Lin's recognition, feel very complicated. Why is the gap between people so big?
Chen Guoli only followed Bi Lin's advice. Since Bi Lin had said so, he could not say anything. But the other instructors were not happy. One of them said, "Mr. Bi, we are not arguing about Xu Cang's age. Flying does require experience. Otherwise, why is the standard for hiring a captain to have nearly 3,000 hours of experience, rather than just passing the corresponding technical inspection? That shows that technology is not everything. Xu Cang is still very young, and he needs to accumulate experience."
I have to say that this instructor is quite capable. Take the standard for hiring a captain, for example. If it only looks at the skills, then it only requires passing the captain's technical inspection. Why is there a requirement for nearly 3,000 hours of experience?
This means that even on a global scale, in the civil aviation industry, it is recognized that a pilot needs to have experienced a variety of things before he can be hired, rather than a single technical indicator.
"You said it takes experience?" Bi Lin raised his eyelids and said, "Then let me ask you experienced pilot instructors, if you are on a single-engine downwind approach and the only remaining engine also experiences severe surge and the aircraft spins, what should you do?"
After listening to this, Xu Cang felt somewhat familiar. Wasn't this the same situation he encountered above Yulong Airport?
Compared to other special situations handled by Xu Cang, the incident at Yulong Airport was not made public for some special reasons. If it were not possible to check, or if there were no special channels, it would not necessarily be known. At least many people in the field did not know that the situation described by Bi Lin corresponded to the situation Xu Cang encountered over Yulong Airport.
Bi Lin raised the question, but it was obviously too difficult. Even these captain instructors who had been flying for more than 20 years found it extremely difficult.
As we all know, a spin is also a type of stall, but recovery from a stall requires altitude, and it is difficult to say whether it can be recovered at the altitude of the third leg. Moreover, under single-engine conditions, the working engine will also die, which means that even if it is recovered, there is no possibility of a go-around, which is simply an unmanageable situation.
Sure enough, one of the teachers asked doubtfully, "Mr. Bi, can this situation really be solved?"
After this person spoke, the others did not intend to refute him, and seemed to basically agree with his point of view. Bi Lin's eyes moved and fell on Chen Guoli: "Guoli, what do you think we should say?"
Chen Guoli's expression changed, and he finally sighed: "I don't know."
Di Qingquan, who knew everything, couldn't help but sigh. So many teachers in the field felt helpless, but Xu Cang solved it. This is the gap.
“So, is it really useful to go through all this?”
Bi Lin's words were like thunderbolts to the ears of the crowd. One of them seemed unconvinced: "Mr. Bi, do you mean this matter can be resolved?"
Bi Lin did not speak, but turned his head slightly and glanced at the middle-aged man beside him. The middle-aged man quickly understood, and took out a card reader from somewhere and plugged it into the computer on the podium, and soon the projector in the conference hall turned on.
"Everyone, here is a video clip of what happened over the Yulong Airport in Yunshan Province. It is exactly what Mr. Bi said."
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he clicked on a folder, and there was indeed a video in it. After playing it, it was Chen Huaxin’s onboard video, and the content was naturally about Xu Cang’s various experiences over Yulong Airport.
Many people present had not seen this video. It must be said that the quality of Chen Huaxin's onboard video was quite impressive. One could clearly see the scene of Xu Cang's plane falling sideways at that time, and one of the engines was spewing black smoke at irregular intervals. This was the most intuitive manifestation of engine surge.
As the person involved, Xu Cang now has a different feeling when watching this video from a third-person perspective.
Compared to Xu Cang's relatively relaxed mentality, most people in the field cried out in surprise when the plane fell upside down. This situation meant death.
However, what happened next shattered everyone's worldview.
The plane that was tilting sideways went into a spiral without any surprise, but there was no sign of the plane turning out. Just when everyone was wondering what the crew was doing, after turning twice, the plane's turning speed suddenly slowed down.
"The crew is making changes!"
These veteran instructors all have extremely sharp eyesight and can even capture the changes in the speed of the aircraft's rotation in the picture in the first instant.
"No, it's too late now. Even if we can correct it, we can't pull it up." Another instructor shouted. Because during the turn, the tail nozzle of the only remaining engine had obvious fire, which undoubtedly announced the death of the engine.
Both engines were inoperable, and even if the crew turned the plane out of the spin, it would still crash. But then he thought, what was the point of Bi Lin showing them a video of a plane crash?
However, he really couldn't believe that there was any possibility of survival in this situation.
But then, everything changed!
After slightly slowing down the speed of rotation, the plane actually cut into the fifth side of the runway without any error in the last half circle. Its accuracy was simply incredible.
“How is it possible!?”
More than half of the teachers stood up suddenly and looked at the video screen in disbelief.
"The crew can control the position of the spin recovery, it's impossible!" An instructor was extremely excited: "Is it a coincidence?"
However, at the moment when this person finished speaking, it could be clearly seen from the picture that the plane's attitude was constantly expanding, so that even when both engines were shut down, the plane did not crash directly, but maintained a state of flying almost close to the ground and rushed straight over the runway.
When approaching the runway, the plane suddenly fell off an unknown part. However, almost three seconds later, the plane landed directly on the runway.
hiss!
For a moment, the entire venue was filled with gasps.
It was so shocking and terrifying! Even the most expansive thoughts could not describe such a picture.
Two and a half spirals and five straight cuts to the ground, this technique is extremely terrifying.
"Is this true?"
The more these instructors recalled it, the more they felt they admired him. Not to mention his completely incomprehensible ability to control the position of the spin recovery, just the fact that he could come up with a method of recovering from a spin and cutting off five sides to the ground directly in an emergency situation was beyond the limits of human reaction. Some instructors couldn't believe that this was something a human could do, and thus questioned the authenticity of the video.
The middle-aged man closed his notebook and said expressionlessly: "The video is of course real, and the person involved was right there."
"What?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar, and they looked around, wanting to know who had done such a shocking and heart-wrenching thing.
In the eyes of these people, if they can perform such an operation, then as a pilot, they have already touched the ceiling and their life is worth it.
However, in their eyes, they only saw the confusion of the people around them, and it seemed that no one met the identity of the person involved.
The middle-aged man did not deliberately hide his feelings, and his eyes fell on Xu Cang at the end: "Mr. Xu Cang, are you really not going to say a few words?"
As soon as the voice fell, there was silence for a moment, and then there was a loud explosion, and all eyes fell on Xu Cang. Compared with the last time, everyone's eyes were full of shock this time.
"Xu...Xu Cang is really you?" Chen Guoli said blankly.
Xu Cang's eyes fell on Bi Lin on the rostrum, and he sighed slightly: "It's me!"
Just as Xu Cang admitted it, Bi Lin spoke up: "Experience? That just gives you time to grow. However, his starting point is your end point, so why does he need to grow? Naturally, he doesn't need any experience."
At this time, Di Qingquan spoke up: "When the Yulong earthquake happened, Xu Cang was summoned, and I was the person in charge at the time. However, this matter involved the Yulong earthquake, so it was not made public. It is normal that you don't know about it."
With the endorsement of the General Administration's chief pilot, the authenticity of this video is no longer in dispute.
However, the more this happened, the more people could not believe that someone could really complete such an operation. Not to mention these people, even Bi Lin only started paying attention to Xu Cang after watching this video.
Even for Xu Cang, this operation was the result of all his skills, and he completed it in an indisputable state. I am afraid that there will never be a second time in this life. Anyone who sees it will be amazed at Xu Cang's unpredictable skills.
"Who among you still has any objections now?" Bi Lin's eyebrows gradually returned to their previous slightly closed state. Once this video came out, it was the ultimate magic that could suppress everything. Who would dare to question Xu Cang?
Now that the situation has been decided, no one dares to speak out!
Bi Lin said softly: "In that case, Xu Cang's place has been decided, you can pick the remaining one."
After saying this, Bi Lin almost closed his eyes. He only wanted Xu Cang, as long as Xu Cang was there, he didn't really care who the other person was.
However, just as Bi Lin finished speaking, a clear voice rang out in the silent meeting room: "No, I object!"
