Chapter 257: MAX Training Advanced

Compared with Blue Air's sincere fear, the reaction of the bureau and the new owner China Airlines to the matter was not as great as expected, and after reporting to the bureau, the bureau also agreed with the results of Blue Air's handling, and China Airlines' senior management also did not make any adjustments to the leadership of Blue Sky Airlines because of this matter, which made the frightened leaders of Blue Sky Airlines finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The company's leaders thought that the reason why this matter did not cause an overreaction from the bureau and China Airlines was that the matter did not spread, and the secrecy work was done well, and the actual impact was not large. In line with the principle of turning major incidents into small matters, the results of this incident were not publicized, and only the parties were notified. Blue Sky is all about drowning in this matter over time, and it's best not to make a splash.

Xu Qing just had some pity for Zhao Shanshan's handling of the result, and the rest had no opinions. However, this incident has come to this, and both sides have paid the price, but it is a pity, but it is only a small episode.

After the alarm turmoil, Xu Qing began to shift his focus to the civil aviation friendship, mainly the e-sports competition.

Originally, there were still a few days before the competition, Xu Qing thought about gathering to practice in the past few days, grinding the gun in battle, and it was bright if it was not fast. As a result, the flying standard notified MAX that the theoretical training was advanced, and the time was set for these days, which means that the time of the MAX theoretical training overlapped with the time of the team's training.

Now Xu Qing is very unhappy, didn't he say that the theoretical training of MAX was half a month later? Why did he disagree so much in advance, and suddenly disrupted his schedule. Anyway, the team competition is also for the honor of the company, not for himself.

Annoyed by Xu Qing's questioning, the staff in charge of training matters secretly told Xu Qing that it was the company's leaders who temporarily decided to advance the first flight of MAX.

Blue Sky Airlines officially handed over after the civil aviation friendship, and the leaders wanted to complete the first flight of MAX on the second day after the handover, which was a small gift to the new owner.

Not to mention Xu Qing, the flying standard also has a headache, the whole set of theoretical training plans to be rearranged, and the planning room must be contacted to temporarily control the relevant personnel of the training. Anyway, the leader wants to come out of it, and in the end, it's not the employees who work hard.

Xu Qingzhen served the leaders of Blue Sky Airlines, and didn't think about how to run the company well, thinking all day long about how to keep his one-third of an acre of land, or how to curry favor with the new owner. This kind of behavior made Xu Qing feel a little physiologically disgusted.

But Xu Qing is not easy, in order to point the points of quantitative assessment, he even said shameless words such as fighting for honor for the company. Of course, if the flying standard can cancel his MAX theoretical arrangement due to a schedule conflict, it will be a pie-in-the-sky event.

If Xu Qing doesn't have to fly the MAX anymore, then Instructor Chang can return to the big family of 737NG as long as he takes the captain who flies the MAX a few times, which is perfect.

However, it turns out that Xu Qingzhen is daydreaming!

Team competition, the company doesn't care? Care about!

MAX theoretical training, the company is not interested? Heart!

You can't have both, but the company wants both, and Xu Qing is the one who suffers in the end.

Feibiao rejected Xu Qing's application to cancel the MAX training, and the fleet and the union also vetoed Xu Qing's request to quit the team, and stated that if he quit the team, not to mention extra points, he would have to deduct points. Xu Qing suddenly felt that he had the meaning of getting on a thief ship, and he was dumb and ate Coptis chinensis, and he couldn't say anything about his suffering.

In order to take care of the team's scheduled afternoon training, Feibiao even transferred the original afternoon training to the morning, for the company's care, Xu Qing really wanted to thank their family.

After the instructor finished the MAX simulator training, he rushed back to K City to participate in the theoretical training. Originally, Instructor Chang also expected Xu Qing to study on his own for a few days, so that he could help himself during theoretical training when he had a foundation. Now that the theoretical training has been advanced by half a month, I heard that Xu Qing is going to participate in some competition of the Civil Aviation Friendship Association, and he still has to train these days, so he has no time to read books. Isn't Xu Qing as shirtless as himself? It's really embarrassing for him to pity him for his age, and to memorize some theoretical things again.

In fact, there is not much theoretical training at MAX, it can only be regarded as differentiated training, so the whole course only lasted two days. MAX theory instructors are still sent by China Airlines. As the first airline in China to introduce the 737 MAX, China Airlines is second to none in China in terms of operating the 737 MAX. Blue Airlines has changed the owner of China Airlines, at least there are traces in the operation of MAX, and many detours will be avoided.

Since the instrument panel of the 737 MAX follows the 787 style, with two large PFD displays, a display that integrates ND and EI-CAS panel functions and an ECAM display, while the classic display mode of the 737 is six small DUs, the overall data display is a sea change.

Because of the expansion of the display screen, the position of some knobs on the original DU was squeezed, and even with the automatic brake, the N1 knob, and the speed reference knob were moved to the original lower DU position. At the same time, the landing gear handle has been made smaller, and the neutral position has been removed, which means that the MAX landing gear has only two positions, the retracted position and the lowering position.

At the same time, the starting procedure has also changed due to the new engine. Xu Qing listened to the instructor say that MAX normally takes about five minutes to fully start, which is far more than the starting time of NG, and there are more data references involved in starting than NG. Xu Qing couldn't figure out why it was becoming more and more troublesome when it was supposed to be more and more advanced technology.

The only thing that can be regarded as technological progress of these two new engines is the high thrust-to-weight ratio, low fuel consumption, and the economy is indeed much better than the old engine.

In addition, the MAX has added some new features, such as a landing correction system. Xu Qing always felt that these changes were flashy, and there was an illusion of change for the sake of change.

Some of the so-called new functions added by MAX are completely useless, but they are replaced with a new engine, but they cannot come up with a new body mechanism to match the new engine, resulting in the problem of new wine in old bottles.

The 737's fuselage is on the low side, and the new engine is a lap larger than the old one, which results in the engine being too little away from the ground. Such a change leads to a lot of extension problems.

For example, pavement debris is more likely to suck into the engine, and if there is a landing roll, the MAX is more likely to rub the engine than the NG aircraft.

However, according to the instructors, Boeing has made some small changes so that the distance between the engines and the ground clearance has not changed. This made Xu Qing suspect that he was not looking at MAX's illusion, after all, he had seen MAX's real machine several times.

At first, Xu Qing heard that the 737MAX and 320NEO used the same engine, and after attending this training course, Xu Qing knew that it was a rumor.

The 320NEO ditched the original CFP's LEAP-1A engine in favor of a larger, ducted PW1100G with a larger drawpass ratio, reaching 81 inches. The 81-inch engine can't fit on the 737's short legs at all, so the 737MAX's engine is still CFP's, and the size is only 78 inches.

Due to the congenital defect of the short landing gear, the engine and overall fuselage structure of the 737MAX are still somewhat nondescript.
