Chapter 381: The Risk of Runway Intrusion
"Brother, something seems to be wrong with us." Xu Qing hung up the call with the flight attendant and looked at Zhang Qijun with a stiff face.
"What's the problem?" Zhang Qijun said curiously: "The sky has fallen, is your face like this?" ”
"If I said that I might really have a baby on the plane, brother, what do you think?" Xu Qing squeezed out such a sentence that made Zhang Qijun's scalp tingle.
"What are you kidding, is this the time to joke?" Zhang Qijun smiled stiffly: "You tell you, don't talk nonsense, you have to be careful with this name." ”
What is Xu Qing's name? Can you talk nonsense with such a magical name? What if it comes true!
However, looking at Xu Qing's face, it seems that it is really about to come true......
"It's a joke, right?" Zhang Qijun looked at Xu Qing with a look of hope, looking forward to a positive answer in his heart.
Xu Qing had a cold face, looked at Zhang Qijun, who was deceiving himself, and did not speak.
"Not a joke, not a joke, right, seriously? Hahahaha! It's really the best joke in the world. Zhang Qijun laughed like he was crazy, Xu Qing didn't know what Zhang Qijun had to be happy about.
"Xu Qing! Let me tell you, if you really give birth on the plane, I will take you to the Public Security Bureau tomorrow to change your name, you won't live long with such a name! Zhang Qijun laughed like a fool: "What a big joke, this is going to kill me!" ”
Xu Qing couldn't stand it anymore, is this the demeanor of a captain? Just about to say a few words, I saw Zhang Qijun's smile quickly fade, as if nothing had happened, he immediately pressed the radio transmission button, and said very seriously: "Control, Xingfei 8547, how fast can we fly?" ”
"Xingfei 8547, is there any change in the situation of pregnant women?" The control asked, when Xingfei 8547 reported just now, the tone didn't sound very anxious, why didn't it take long for the tone to be turned upside down, and continued: "Is it serious?" ”
"It's serious, it's a terrible kind!" Zhang Qijun said seriously.
The control was stunned: "What? ”
"How much can you fly at maximum speed?" Zhang Qijun did not answer this question in accordance with the control, but continued to ask about the maximum speed.
"Wait a minute!"
After a pause, the area control asked another plane: "Blue Sky 9421, you guys increase your speed, fly at Mach 0.78?" ”
"We can't fly, we're a little bumpy, we can't fly at that speed!" The Blue Sky crew also complained.
"Then try to ...... as much as you can."
The control wanted to have a good discussion with the blue sky plane, and it would be a different situation when it fell into Zhang Qijun's ears.
"Bump, bump! Thought I didn't know, Lao Tzu is behind your ass, the same height, bumpy? You put a glass of water on top of the center console, you can splash a drop of water, I'll give you the head! Zhang Qijun said excitedly.
The Blue Sky Airlines crew was really eye-opening, and the captain on duty replied: "Brother, don't get excited, this is my economic speed, and I still have to think about the fuel saving award!" ”
"Then don't occupy the road, at a speed of Mach 0.68, you are going to fly until tomorrow!" Zhang Qijun sneered.
"Why are you so angry? It's amazing to have a baby! Okay, control, do you think I can do maneuvers? The captain of Blue Sky Airlines was defeated by Zhang Qijun, but he still couldn't let go of the fuel-saving award, and finally planned to make a maneuver to make his debut for the big guy behind.
The reason why the controller asked him about his speed was that he couldn't go up or down now, so he had to turn another course to make room.
The control was amused by Zhang Qijun's irritable operation, and when he heard that the plane in the blue sky wanted to maneuver, he immediately replied: "That blue sky 9421, you turn right to head to 030." ”
"Turn right to 030, blue sky 9421." Blue Sky repeated.
After commanding the Blue Sky Airlines plane, he turned to contact Star Airlines: "Star 8547, you can maintain maximum speed." ”
At this time, Xu Qing took over the conversation: "Control, you can help me ask the obstetrician at the airport hospital if it is possible to open three fingers within half an hour." ”
Counting the short period of time that the crew didn't notice at first, the pregnant woman went from the beginning of contractions, breaking the amniotic fluid to opening three fingers, and she died for half an hour, which was unheard of.
"Half an hour to open three fingers, you're kidding." The control knew this knowledge, and immediately denied it: "Didn't you say that you are a first-time mother, open three fingers in half an hour, it is impossible!" Even if you are a multiparous woman, it may not be so fast! ”
"Can I ask?" Xu Qing was a little unhappy.
The regional control realized that he had overstepped his authority and immediately agreed.
It didn't take long for the regional control to reply to the airport hospital, and under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for a first-time woman to open three fingers in half an hour.
The airport hospital has already said very implicitly, that is, it is impossible, and of course it has not been said to death. In case there is a natural strange person, what if you open three fingers in half an hour after giving birth, the words are too desperate, in case you slap yourself in the face, isn't it embarrassing?
In the business class, the more the purser thought about it, the more wrong it became, and he was really like a fish in his throat, not vomiting or unhappy.
She hesitated for a moment, but decided to confirm it with the pregnant woman.
When he got to the pregnant woman, the purser asked softly, "Are you sure it's your first pregnancy?" ”
This time the question was different from the last time, and the purser didn't do it on purpose, but just asked casually. But surprisingly, the pregnant woman's answer was different.
"This is my second pregnancy." Pregnant women struggle hard.
The purser had the attitude of treating a dead horse as a live horse doctor at the beginning, but he didn't expect to ask a big news.
Purser: "Then you said you had a baby for the first time!" ”
"I had a difficult birth during my first delivery, and it didn't go well." Said the pregnant woman.
The purser took a deep breath, no wonder!
"What do you say, then what kind of primparous woman is this?" Xu Qingdu was about to curse, although the pregnant woman did not give birth to a fetus smoothly for the first time, but she had experience in opening her fingers, so she was not a first-time mother, no wonder she opened her fingers so quickly!
Xu Qing thought for a moment, his mind turned a thousand times, and suddenly remembered something: "There is still more than half an hour to land, it stands to reason that there is still a period of time before driving to ten fingers, and it should not be delivered on the plane." However, even if there is a 1 in 10,000 chance that you really have to give birth on the plane, if there is a fetal misposition, do not force the delivery, and be careful to pay yourself in. Also, is there a doctor on the plane? ”
"No...... If we had, we wouldn't be where we are now. The purser sighed, even if he is not an obstetrician and gynecologist, other doctors are fine, and he is stunned that he has nothing, all supported by their inexperienced flight attendants.
"Emergency medical kit, purser must remember the use restrictions, you are not authorized to use it." Xu Qing earnestly advised, and confirmed it: "The purser should not make a mistake for half his life!" ”
In addition to the first aid kit on the plane, there is also an emergency medical kit, which can be used by flight attendants, but the use of emergency medical kits is too strict. You must have a doctor's license to use it, and flight attendants are not authorized to use it.
If a flight attendant uses an emergency medical kit, it is ultra vires!
The reason why Xu Qing said this is mainly because the delivery environment and equipment on the plane are far from sufficient, if there is a situation where the fetal position is not correct, the flight attendant cannot forcibly deliver the baby, if it is strong, it will harm others and oneself after all.
At the end of the day, flight attendants are just service personnel who have received simple first aid treatment. Xu Qing means not to do things that are beyond his ability and authority, in this era, good intentions do bad things, many people will not consider whether the cause of the matter is out of good intentions.
And in this society where saliva can drown people, a small flight attendant should not be spared.
The reason why Xu Qing specifically mentioned the emergency medical kit later was because there was an umbilical cord clip in the emergency medical kit, and if the child was born successfully, the umbilical cord clip would be used, however, Xu Qing didn't want the purser to do this.
In the absence of a doctor, the purser was investigated after doing so, who knows what the outcome will be, after all, it is a matter of personal safety, and the bureau's methods have always been extremely tough.
Xu Qing hopes that the purser will stick to the bottom line and not mistake himself!
"What if you actually give birth? We don't care? The purser asked a very sharp question.
Xu Qing was stunned by the question, and only after a while did he hold back a sentence: "I won't let this kind of thing happen." ”
The distance between the plane and the destination airport was originally more than 40 minutes, but in fact, even if it accelerated to the maximum, it could not be faster than a few minutes.
"Xingfei 8547, how is the condition of pregnant women now, do you need to declare a state of emergency?" Area control concerns.
Xu Qing and Zhang Qijun glanced at each other, and saw Zhang Qijun shaking his head, so he replied: "No need for the time being." ”
After answering the regional control, Xu Qing asked Zhang Qijun: "Brother, don't you really need to declare a state of emergency?" It doesn't seem to be in a good state for pregnant women right now! ”
Zhang Qijun pointed to the navigation page: "Isn't it just a straight line?" A state of emergency has been declared, and a shorter path than a straight line can be found? ”
Xu Qing's mind was messed up just now, and he really didn't notice the next segment. As Zhang Qijun said, the subsequent route has been to the five sides of the airport, only when cutting into the five sides there is a turning angle of about 30 degrees, on the whole, the next route is basically a straight line, even if the state of emergency is declared, it still can't change the fact that the straight line is the shortest.
Zhang Qijun's plan is that he can still maintain a high speed, and if he has to slow down and maneuver in the approach stage because of the approach interval, Zhang Qijun will definitely not be able to wait, and at that time, he may have to declare a state of emergency.
"At this time, I felt that the plane was really slow, why did you say that the Concorde plane was grounded? The cruising speed of Mach 2.2 is three times our current speed, and we can get to the airport in about ten minutes. Zhang Qijun sighed.
On the ensuing flight, the pregnant woman was still in the same condition, and as time passed, the pain caused by the opening of her fingers was so great that half of the cabin echoed with her screams.
The business class is located at the front of the cabin, and even through the heavy cockpit door, Xu Qing and Zhang Qijun can faintly hear it.
"It's a good thing I don't have a wife, otherwise, just listening to this sound would blow my head up." Zhang Qijun rubbed his temples, suddenly caught a glimpse of Xu Qing who was nervous next to him, and comforted: "It's okay, isn't this about to land?" ”
"Just thinking about something later." Xu Qing thought that Mei Tingting would be like this in the future, and he was very annoyed.
Fortunately, perhaps it was the result of the painstaking deployment of control, and when Xu Qing and they did not declare a state of emergency, from area control to approach control to tower control, they did not let Xu Qing and them have the slightest maneuver to slow down and maneuver, and always let Xu Qing and them maintain a high speed.
There is still a big difference between local controls, and sure enough, there are thousands of people, and some local controls are enthusiastic.
According to the approach control statement, there is a large lump of planes behind the butt of Xingfei 8547, all of which are grouped together at almost minimal intervals. In order to maintain the maximum speed of Xingfei 8547, the approach control has done its best, even if Xingfei 8547 has not declared a state of emergency. In addition, in order to share the huge flow pressure, the approach control communicated with the control tower and opened Runway 20, which is usually only used for takeoff.
Q City is an airport with two runways, and the division of labor between the two runways is extremely clear, that is, runway 03/21 is mainly for landing. Runway 02/20 is used as a take-off runway.
The overall traffic of Q airport is not large, so there is rarely a mixed use of runways, and the take-off and landing of a single runway is enough to cope with the traffic of Q airport, and only in rare cases will this rule not be followed.
Although the overall flow of Q City Airport is not large, its flow changes have obvious regularity, that is, the traffic of Q City throughout the day is close to 5 to 7 pm, which is the peak of the traffic of Q City Airport, especially the landing aircraft, which is basically the nose of the aircraft attached to the tail. Therefore, it is quite rare that the approach control can spontaneously leave enough spacing for Xingfei 8547. However, because the flow of aircraft is too large, all of them are accumulated on runway 20, and it is difficult to deploy approach control, so it is really benevolent and righteous to divert some aircraft to runway 21.
In the words of approach control, if Xingfei 8547 dares to return to flight, even if they declare a state of emergency, they will not be given priority unreasonably, the aircraft is too dense.
Of course, approach control is a joke. Today, there are no low clouds, no rain, and the wind direction and speed are also very stable, so there is no reason why it can't fall!
With the infinite goodwill of the controllers, Xingfei 8547 gave the green light all the way, the plane intercepted the blind landing, the runway was already in sight, and the crew had no new report, Zhang Qijun's mood became happy, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "It's finally going to end." ”
While waiting for the landing permit, a voice from the tower suddenly sounded from the frequency of the tower: "Long Yue 5433, can you enter the runway?" ”
"Long Yue 5433, there are planes on the five sides, you have to wait a minute!" The tower denied permission for the Dragon Leap aircraft to enter the runway.
"I see that the five-sided plane is still far away, it's okay for me to be faster, we've been delayed for a long time." The crew of Dragon Leap Airlines applied again.
After waiting for two seconds, the control of the tower seemed to have loosened somewhat, and asked, "Long Yue 5433, are you completely ready?" ”
The crew of Longyue Airlines originally just had the attitude of trying it out, but they didn't expect the tower to really relax.
"Totally ready!" The crew of Long Yue 5433 replied.
"Dragon Leap 5433, you can enter the runway, move fast!"
"You can enter the runway, move fast, Dragon Leap 5433!" The Dragon Leap Airlines crew replied.
With permission from the tower control, the captain of Longyue 5433 released the brakes and slightly increased the throttle to prepare to move the aircraft.
"Huh?" The captain of Long Yue 5433 noticed something unusual, the throttle was increased to almost forty, and the plane was stunned and did not move.
"The brakes are loose!" The captain and co-pilot invariably glanced at the indicator light of the stop brake, and found that the stop brake had indeed been released, and the captain did not step on the brake!
The captain was puzzled and muttered, "Is it uphill?" ”
Some of the older airports occasionally had taxiways that were sunken, and there was an uphill climb through them, just like they do now.
"Long Yue 5433, what's your situation?" After only a delay of more than ten seconds, the tower control found that the plane of Longyue Airlines did not move and began to inquire about the situation anxiously.
"I seem to have met an uphill ......" the captain was just about to say that he had encountered an uphill slope, but before the last word could be spit out, the plane moved violently, and the front wheels went uphill. Due to the large throttle, the plane rushed forward abruptly. The captain was caught off guard and the throttle tightened a little slower, causing the plane to slide forward for a short distance.
"Dragon Leap 5433, cancel the order, wait in place, wait in place!" As soon as the control of the tower saw that the situation was different, it immediately canceled the permission to enter the runway. It seems that the plane of Longyue Airlines cannot take off on time, but it cannot affect the landing of the plane behind.
The radio sounded the command of the tower, but the captain of Longyue Airlines did break out in a cold sweat, because he didn't notice it just now, his movements were a little slower, and half of the fuselage of the plane had already entered the runway!
Something is wrong!
