Whether it is his Boeing 767 or the Gulfstream 4 business jet he bought at the beginning, Zhang Nan has entered the cockpit more than once.

Not only did I visit, but I also asked how to fly these two very advanced jetliners at the very basics, and had a very preliminary understanding of the functions of the equipment in the cabin.

Knowing your own plane out of curiosity, you didn't have that kind of opportunity in your previous life, and even if he opened the Rebirth plug-in, you don't expect a high school graduate, grave robber, or antique dealer to disdain jets.

The curiosity of ordinary people drove Zhang Nan to be interested in airplane piloting, and he also had a slight fear of heights, which also prompted him to want to be familiar with the piloting techniques of airplanes.

Since you can't avoid taking a plane, let's get to know it, lest you have to resign yourself to fate!

Moreover, Zhang Nan has almost 30 years of consulting experience than others, and one of the biggest impressions of civil aviation is that once there are special circumstances, pilots often need to check what emergency manuals. This is similar to those who have newly obtained a car license 20 years later, who can only drive but not repair, and only know how to step on the brakes and stop in special situations, and then call someone to help.

In the past two years, even if there will be relevant scenes in some movies and television, there are still many ordinary people who don't know how the pilot will deal with the plane once there is a big accident.

Every time I see the scene of documentaries and movies where thousands of pilots and captains who fly for hours take out a thick emergency manual at a critical moment, Zhang Nan not only feels funny, but even thinks it's a little inexplicable!

Imagine that a twin-engine airliner suddenly fails when cruising and the captain shouts to the co-pilot: "Hurry up and look through the emergency manual to see what we can do!"

What about the engine twin engine air parking?

Still roaring!

"Flip through the manual and see how we restart the engine!"

If you think on your toes, you can think that the pilots should have been trained in this kind of emergency, but that manual seems to be the real lifeline, and the results of training to deal with emergencies do not seem to have become the pilot's instinctive reaction in which discipline films.

Ordinary people are not pilots, maybe the rules for flying planes are like this, there is a manual to turn over in advance, but what about military aircraft?

Zhang Nan remembered that those flying fighters, as a result, had serious accidents and mechanical failures in the air, and then flew the planes back to the base, did the masters also have to flip through the manuals first?

You're kidding me!

Therefore, Zhang Nan has a very special, even harsh and unreasonable requirement for his pilots: when my personal pilot is paid absolutely high, you must first write down and engrave the countermeasures that may occur in various emergency situations in the small piloted aircraft!

All to the extent of conditioned reflexes!

Deal with the special situation first, and then go to the emergency manual.

If you don't want to remember this, it's okay, just go back and forth, there are many pilots in the world who want to get a high salary, especially in the United States, there are many excellent and experienced civil aviation pilots.

And Zhang Nan also reminded those pilots very seriously: never completely believe in any electronic equipment, the simpler the mechanical failure, the smaller the chance of failure, and the more advanced and high-tech mechanical and electronic products, the easier it is to have problems!

Not convinced?

Then think of the Space Shuttle Challenger!

Zhang Nan spared his life, and never wanted to hand over his life to two people whose first reaction was to turn over a book, which can even be regarded as a very slight obsessive-compulsive disorder.

So some of his questions on the phone just now were very awkward, but the four pilots still answered the boss's questions without an emergency manual.

One of the biggest reasons for the accident of the plane that hit the mountain 10 days ago was actually the "mode error" on the autopilot, how did Zhang Nan know about this?

Anyway, it's not calculation, Zhang Nan won't do that kind of arithmetic problem - I watched TV in my last life, documentaries, and discipline films about various air crashes and aviation accidents.

I have watched dozens of episodes before and after, and each episode has an accident, three of which have left a deep impression on him, and the reasons for the accident can be incredible, and the mountain crash of this Air France flight is one of them.

I can't remember what year it hit the mountain and where it hit the mountain, but I remember that there was a small decimal point and ignoring the different mode transitions on the same interface that caused the plane to crash, and the hidden dangers in the design of the equipment reimbursed a bunch of people on the plane plus the head!

Watching TV just now, it evoked the memory in my heart, and after calling my pilot to make sure, it was the crash that I had seen the introduction of the discipline film.

This dinner will be eaten seventy-seven eighty-eight, and a lot of the conversation of the guys in the restaurant has turned to airplanes, and there are many people here who can fly airplanes, especially like a few red devils, they will fly several types of Soviet combat aircraft!

An all-round warrior, although his skills may not be as good as that of a full-time pilot, he can at least fly and actually fly through the events.

10 days ago, the plane crashed because of the wrong autopilot selection mode, this is not the most bizarre accident in everyone's mouth, Paul talked about an even stranger air accident: it happened in Canada in 1983, the model was the latest Boeing 767 at that time, and Zhang Nan's landline belonged to the same large model, but the accident was the initial type.

“... Halfway through the flight, the double engine stopped successively and could not be restarted, and the fuel gauge showed that the fuel was not leaking, and the plane had enough fuel.

Fortunately, with a bit of luck and the skillful crew members, the plane managed to make a forced landing at an old airport with a runway turned into a racing track, and only a dozen or so passengers suffered some minor injuries during the emergency departure..."

Paul told the story, and Chariz Theron listened to it with relish: she was only 8 years old at the time and had never heard of the aviation accident that had occurred in the northern hemisphere.

“... Investigators checked several fuel tanks on the plane and found them empty!"

The girl heard this and asked, "What is the reason?"

Paul smiled and said, "It's actually a problem of not strictly switching between the two modes. The plane needs to be refueled before takeoff, and the ground refueling trucks at the airport are counted in 'liters', which is obviously calculated in terms of volume.

However, the amount of fuel required for the flight is calculated in weight units, which is very important for aircraft with weight restrictions - at that time, Canadian airlines had been used to using imperial 'pounds' as a weight calculation, and ground staff had to go through the conversion between volume units and weight units before refueling to know how much fuel they needed to fill the aircraft..."
