"On the apron, I really saw that the tail nozzle of the second engine of the Xingfei Airlines plane was spewing fire, I went, the engine was really spewing fire!" In the ramp control frequency, the pilot who saw the fire in the tail nozzle of the No. 2 engine of the Starfly Airlines plane was about to shout!

It is estimated that he has never seen such a spectacle, and even the pilot is so shocked that his eyes are about to fall out, so he does not control his volume well.

Don't look at the pilot's flight simulator, all kinds of failures can be encountered, it seems that it is not strange. But in reality, aircraft failures are still a minority, not to mention major events, such as engine failure, even if it is some minor problems, such as flap failure, etc. Not everyone is Xu Qing, and he encounters failures that others may not necessarily encounter in his life.

In the world, Xu Qing is unique!

The engine tail nozzle is not serious, and the scene alone is really scary!

People who don't know still think that the civil aircraft is not equipped with a turbofan engine, but a turbojet engine, just like a rocket on the right side of the plane.

This ......

"I saw it too, the apron, I saw it too, it's really the engine tail nozzle spitting fire,!"

"I'm really ...... It's really an engine spitfire, it's an eye-opener! ”

"Where, where! It's on the east apron, why didn't I see it, the brother who saw it pointed to a location! I want to see it too! ”

"Brother of Xingfei Airlines, your engine tail nozzle is spewing fire, don't you know?"

The apron frequency, which was quiet a moment ago, suddenly exploded, just like the vegetable market, full of exclamations.

There are those who are shocked, there are those who are excited, there are those who are worried, there are those who watch the excitement, there are those who eat melons, and there are also those who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and what pushes this carnival to a climax is a sentence from the apron control: "Xingfei 8773, your engine tail nozzle is spewing fire!" ”

A sentence from the apron control instantly ignited all the crews listening to this frequency, and the official spoke, then the matter should be true, it is simply explosive news.

The ramp control frequency is going crazy all of a sudden, and it's all about the Xingfei aero engine tail nozzle spitting fire.

In the cockpit of Xingfei 8773, when the first person said that Xingfei Aviation's tail nozzle was spitting fire, Xu Qing heard it. He immediately wondered if it was his own plane, and with the abnormal display of the previous EGT, Xu Qing's heart seemed to be scratched hard.

There won't be another accident!

This word "again" is really sad!

"It can't be us, can it?" At this time, Cheng Zhen also noticed that something seemed to be wrong, and turned his head to look at Xu Qing, who was full of worry.

Xu Qing looked at Cheng Zhen and understood that the captain must have known that something was abnormal, and the muscles and skin of his whole body contracted, which was an instinctive reaction to feel danger.

Subconsciously, Xu Qing leaned to the right window to see what the situation was with the second hair.

However, this behavior does not see what is going on behind the second engine.

"I'll ask about the maintenance!" Cheng Zhen is going to contact the following maintenance to see what the situation is.

Xu Qing opened the right window, wanting to stick his head out, so that he could see the situation behind the No. 2 engine. Xu Qing didn't believe the words of those people on the radio, only his own eyes and data instructions.

Just before he looked at engine two, he glanced at the engine instructions, and it was clear that the EGT indicated by engine number two had stabilized, but there was a difference. Usually after the engine is started and stabilized, if the thrust handle is kept at a slow run, the EGT should not change significantly. However, after the completion of the No. 2 engine start, the EGT did not stabilize, and the EGT index, which fluctuated a little during the starting stage, has continued to the present.

This phenomenon of EGT going up and down seems to be a bit like engine surge, and one of the consequences of engine surge is not the engine tail nozzle fire?

Now, Xu Qing already knows something in his heart!

Although Xu Qing's level is not high now, the engine failures he encounters can be published, but it is the first time he has encountered problems in the engine starting process, and he is still a little nervous.

If it is true that the tail nozzle is spitting, even if the index has not exceeded the standard now, it will still cut off the engine, and who knows if the EGT will exceed the limit in the next moment.

Just when Xu Qinggang was about to stick out his head and Cheng Zhen was about to contact the ground maintenance, the ground maintenance contacted the cockpit first.

"Captain, captain, the tail nozzle of engine No. 2 has seen the flames, the flames have been seen!" It was also the first time that the engine tail nozzle had seen a fire, and his words were full of anxiety, and even the words were repeated.

"There's a flame!" Cheng Zhen was taken aback, and his eyes fell on the EGT indication of the lower DU, and found that the EGT of the No. 2 engine not only had unstable fluctuations, but also increased upwards. That is, the EGT is not only unstable, but also rising.

At this time, Xu Qing had already poked his head out, and only glanced back, and saw that there was indeed a flame behind the No. 2 engine, although he couldn't get a glimpse of the whole picture, but there was a flame.

"Captain, there is indeed a flame behind engine two." Xu Qing reported.

Then the following operation is very clear!

"Grass!" Cheng Zhen cursed: "Then I'll cut the No. 2 engine." ”

The No. 2 engine must be cut off in this case, which is undoubted, and when Cheng Zhen said this, Xu Qing did not have any objections.

Chengzhen did not have to ask Xu Qing's consent to cut the No. 2 engine, but habitually said the key operation of cutting the engine starting handle.

At the moment when Xu Qing's head retracted, Cheng Zhen directly cut the starting handle of the No. 2 engine to the shut-off position. Xu Qing habitually started the timer, which was the need for a cold-turning engine. However, in fact, it was a problem for Xu Qing to start timing immediately, because when Cheng Zhen cut off the starting handle, the starting electric door had automatically jumped to the OFF position. This kind of starter jumps to the OFF position by waiting for N2 to drop to 20%, then turning the starter to the ground position, then cold-turning the engine for 60 seconds, and finally turning the starter to the OFF position.

Although Xu Qing's action is meaningless, it does not affect it, and he only needs to re-time it according to the checklist, and it will not cause any substantial harm.

This action will not be harmful, but when Xu Qing pressed the timer, his head was tilted to the right, so that he could not see Chengzhen's movement.

When Cheng Zhen cut the starting handle of the No. 2 engine, the frequency was full of the sound of various pilots shouting the tail nozzle of the Xingfei Aero aircraft engine, especially the control was shouting along.

Cheng Zhen's mind was full of the noise of his engine breathing fire, and his psychological pressure rose sharply, and his brain went blank at this moment.

At the moment when the starting handle of engine No. 2 was cut off, but time hit the moment when Sung Jin lost his ability to think. The outside world coaxed Cheng Zhen to put strong pressure, and the word "fire-breathing" echoed in his ears.

What should I do if there is a fire? What is the instinctive answer? Extinguish the fire!

Instinct is like this, but instinct is not necessarily right sometimes, like now......

A captain can't do things completely according to instinct, because sometimes the operating procedures are different from instinct. But at this time, Cheng Zhen was completely unable to think about problems as a qualified captain or a qualified pilot under huge psychological pressure.

Slightly flustered, Cheng Zhen completely followed his instinctive thinking, and even the restriction of not being able to lift the fire extinguishing handle normally without a fire warning did not make him sober up.

In the absence of a fire warning, the fire extinguishing handle can not be lifted up normally, and if you want to lift the fire extinguishing handle in this case, you must first press the override button, otherwise no matter how much force you have, it is useless.

This design is designed to prevent pilots from mishandling the fire extinguishing handle without a fire warning. The fire extinguishing handle is something that can't be moved at will, and that's why the plane is designed this way.

But this kind of insurance design can't stop Cheng Zhen from losing his mind, and Cheng Zhen's mind at this time is already full of the idea of extinguishing the fire.

When Xu Qing went to press the timer, a clear sound of snapping away suddenly sounded in his ears. Xu Qing chuckled in his heart, the sound of this bayonet jumping away was too familiar to him, wasn't it the sound of the fire extinguishing handle jumping away?

Xu Qing turned his head to look down at the fire extinguishing panel, and at this time, Cheng Zhen's right hand had already lifted the fire extinguishing handle.

The goosebumps all over Xu Qing's body rose, his scalp was numb and itchy, and he even stopped breathing nervously. Even when he heard the engine tail nozzle spitting fire just now, Xu Qing didn't have such a big reaction.

"Don't turn!" Xu Qing's shrill whistle almost broke through the sky, but it was still a step too slow, and before Xu Qing could speak, Cheng Zhen turned the fire extinguishing handle to the side.

As the fire extinguisher release light turned on, the cold sweat on Xu Qing's forehead oozed out, and a breath of cold air almost suffocated Xu Qing to death.

Waiting for the fire extinguisher release light to turn on, Xu Qing's throat had just fallen, it was this stimulus, Cheng Zhen came back to his senses in an instant, looked at the fire extinguisher release lamp that had been lit up, and the hand holding the fire extinguishing handle was shaking.

Xu Qing rushed to the Tianling cover with enthusiasm, his eyes were red, he was really going crazy, and suddenly yelled: "What are you doing?" ”

This voice completely brought back Chengzhen's sanity, and Chengzhen quickly released the fire-extinguishing handle as if he was holding a soldering iron.

"What are you thinking, what are you thinking? How can you twist the fire extinguishing handle, how can you! Are there fire warnings, are there fire warnings? TM！ Xu Qing was about to lose his mind at this moment, just now, tens of millions of engines were scrapped!

Not to mention that the merger of the two companies has been finalized, Xingfei Airlines has his daughter-in-law's share, and the tens of millions of engines are explained like this, Xu Qing almost suffered a cerebral hemorrhage in anger.

One of the phenomena of engine surge is the tail nozzle fire, which is really written in the checklist, but there is no fire extinguishing measure in the checklist about engine surge.

The only way to extinguish a fire is a fire warning!

There are two independent loops for engine fire detection, and the cockpit fire warning will only sound when both detection loops detect fire information.

Why is the fire warning triggered so harshly? Because the engine is too expensive!

A 737 engine costs tens of millions, and the two engines together account for nearly half of the value of the entire aircraft.

With a twist of the fire extinguishing handle, no matter whether the fire is extinguished or not, the engine is basically useless. Even if some of them are lucky, they can still be repaired, but the cost of repair is so expensive that you can buy a new one with almost a little money, and it is better to scrap it!

Just because Cheng Zhen's brain was hot, and with a shake of his little hand, tens of millions of banknotes flew away.

Chengzhen's face was gloomy, and now that he calmed down, he knew that he had caused a big disaster, and the fire warning had not sounded from beginning to end. Not only was there a problem with the disposal process, but the consequences were severe.

"Captain, did you put out the fire?" Just by looking at the engine, the following mechanics can see that the cockpit has turned on fire extinguishing measures. It's just that according to his experience, this engine is still a bit like a surge, and he can clearly hear the intermittent sound of "boom" and "boom" below, which are all obvious characteristics of surge. And the engine surge does not need to be extinguished!

Of course, his speculation was only limited to theoretical knowledge, and he had not seen the actual engine surge with his own eyes, so it was difficult to judge.

Cheng Zhen replied coldly, that is, he stopped talking, now he was upset, thinking about the company's investigation and finding that it had extinguished the engine without a fire warning, didn't it want to peel off his skin?

At this time, Xu Qing knew that it was pointless to rub around here, so he immediately contacted the apron: "Apronoid, Xingfei 8773, we have some problems with the engine, and we request to tow it back to the original position." ”

"Xingfei 8773, I saw that the flame of your engine disappeared here, is the problem solved?" Ramp control cares.

Before Xu Qing could answer, other pilots interjected in the frequency: "Brother, is it the engine surge, or the engine fire?" ”

It's very rude to talk like this, but some pilots really can't resist the curiosity in their hearts, just want to know whether this melon is sweet or not. A group of melon-eating pilots in the frequency each pricked up their ears to listen to Xu Qing's explanation.

How could Xu Qing reply to such a boring question, if he didn't keep his mouth tight now, Xingfei Airlines would become a laughing stock.

A captain scared himself out of his tens of millions of engines, and this kind of shameful thing spread out and could be laughed at for a lifetime.

"Xingfei 8773, our side has temporarily disposed of it, and the application is towed back to its original position." Xu Qing said again.

Apron: "Xingfei 8773, it can be towed back to its original position, and I will be notified as soon as possible if there is any decision." ”

At this time, Cheng Zhen, who came back to his senses, pushed Xu Qing and said angrily: "What do you mean, who is the captain?" Did I let it drag it back? ”

Sungjin feels that his captain's authority has been seriously challenged!

Xu Qing sneered: "Just you? From the moment you turn the fire extinguishing handle, you're not the captain anymore! ”

With this sentence, the atmosphere in the cockpit instantly dropped to freezing. Cheng Zhen knew that he had made a big mistake, and his heart was already complicated, so at this time, Xu Qing directly crossed him, notified the apron control, and applied to be towed back to the original position. This is blatant disregard for him and his authority as a captain.

Just now, he was coaxed by the other pilots in the apron control frequency to lose his mind, and then he came to his senses, and now he was angered by Xu Qing's behavior, and his brain began to jam again.

Is it time to argue with the co-pilot about who is the cockpit boss? Chengzhen has no brains anymore!

"As long as the technical committee doesn't dismiss me, I'm still the captain! As long as I'm the captain, this plane will listen to me. Cheng Zhen said viciously.

To be honest, Cheng Zhen's current behavior is a bit like being angry because of the low-level mistake just now.

"But it turns out that you don't have the brain to be the captain, and I just took my eyes off it, and you made me sick? I don't think you deserve to be captain right now. Xu Qing said coldly.

Yesterday, Xu Qing said that he was disgusted with Chengzhen's personality, but he didn't expect to tear his face directly at that time, thinking that he would deal with Chengzhen according to his own plan later.

It's no wonder that a well-known character like Chengzhen can get a high score in the co-pilot group, so Chengzhen can also be dealt with justifiably.

Xu Qing doesn't like to point at other people's noses and scold people, but it doesn't mean that Xu Qing will always endure it, and the low-level mistake just now has touched his bottom line.

"I'm not worthy? Then do you have a third-level co-pilot? Cheng Zhen was like a mad dog, chasing Xu Qing and biting.

Why did Chengzhen react so much? That's because Xu Qing's words hit his sore spot, just his low-level mistake, taking out the captain is the most basic. It was one thing for him to know in his own heart, and it was another thing for Xu Qing to point it out, and he felt that he was offended.

"Captain, what do we say now?" Just when Cheng Zhen stared at Xu Qing and wanted to devour Xu Qing alive, the ground machine couldn't sit still. No matter what the situation of the No. 2 engine is, whether it is a surge or an engine fire, now that the flame of the tail nozzle has disappeared, this situation will definitely not be able to fly. However, after waiting for a while, the cockpit still did not instruct, and they did not know what to say next?

Cheng Zhen didn't care about the questions of the ground maintenance at all, just stared at Xu Qing, as if this was the only way to maintain the majesty of his captain.

"Retarded!" Xu Qing didn't hide it, and directly said those two words, and then regardless of Chengzhen, he contacted the ground maintenance by himself: "You call the trailer to come over, let's tow it back to the original position." ”

Cheng Zhen was directly driven crazy by the two words Xu Qing said, and pushed Xu Qing's shoulder fiercely: "Even if the captain behind me is removed, it will be a matter for the future, what are you pretending to be a co-pilot?" I'll take care of this myself, and it has something to do with you? Just do your co-pilot's job. ”

This is the second time that Cheng Zhen has pushed Xu Qing, this time Xu Qing didn't plan to endure it any longer, so he directly grabbed Cheng Zhen's collar and pulled him over: "It has nothing to do with me?" TM, the engine you scrapped has half the money of Lao Tzu! ”
