Chapter 43: Five-Sided Fire
"Let's do it again!" Instructor Chang's cold voice made the temperature in the simulator seem to drop a little.
The go-around flight is the pilot's last resort to ensure safety, and it must be taken to the death.
If Xu Qing did not stabilize the plane, resulting in an excessively large attitude of the plane and a sharp decrease in airspeed for a short time, it can be said that he was unprepared.
Because he had never done a go-around before, he didn't know that the state of the plane would change so drastically when he go-around. Caught off guard, messed up, and it was still acceptable to not suppress it reluctantly.
However, the matter of putting away the landing gear first is something that the instructor does not understand.
What is clearly written on the SOP go-around program, is it possible that there is still a statement that you can't read?
How many people in the company are planted on this, and Teacher Chang doesn't want Xu Qing and the others to follow in their footsteps.
……
Instructor Chang directly pulled the plane to five sides and six nautical miles, reconstructed the landing form, and adjusted the weather to CAVOK, cloudless, "Fly directly and see, do it for me this time!" ”
The simulator thawed again, this time controlled by Xu Qing from the beginning.
It's not a single shot, and there is no limit big crosswind, so it is naturally difficult for Xu Qing to manipulate, Xu Qing even has the spare strength to silently recite the operation procedure of the go-around flight in his heart, and Diao Jie's share is also counted.
If it hadn't been for Teacher Chang interrupting Diao Jie just now, Xu Qing might have followed Diao Jie's words and shouted "Collect the wheel". He knew in his heart that he had almost no ability to think at that time.
Speaking of which, today, thanks to Teacher Chang for Diao Jie to carry the pot twice, Xu Qing also inexplicably saved face.
With a height of about 800 feet, Xu Qing habitually moved his buttocks, trying to find a more comfortable position.
Just as Xu Qing's buttocks moved, the alarm bell of ding, ding, ding, ding, and the eye-catching red fire alarm light lit up in front of Xu Qing, and Xu Qing looked down to the left.
The fire alarm panel was just below the starting handle, and Xu Qing saw at a glance that it was the second fire extinguishing handle that lit up.
Second fire!
Xu Qing was about to cry for a moment, Teacher Chang was too caring today. He only saw the procedures for handling the fire on the five sides yesterday.
The corners of his mouth gradually raised a hint of "perverted" arc. Here's my Xu Qing's "show time"!
1000 feet is a cut-off point, and the disposal procedures are different for those above 1000 feet and below 1000 feet. At this time, the altitude of the aircraft is less than 1000 feet, and the SOP recommends not handling the fire.
"Cut off the alarm bell and reset the main alert!" Xu Qing shouted confidently.
Diao Jie was just surprised by Xu Qing's inexplicable excitement for a moment, and then perfectly picked up his identity as a tool man.
"Auto-brake, MAX!"
Since it is a fire alarm, it is natural to stop as soon as possible, whether it is extinguishing the fire or evacuating, it is a race against time, so the automatic brake needs to be adjusted to the maximum.
The automatic brake has four gears: 123 and MAX. There is no obstacle to the selection of the knobs of the three gears of 123, the only thing to note is that if you want to choose the MAX gear, you must first pull out the knob before you can rotate it to MAX.
At first, Xu Qing was afraid that Diao Jie didn't know about the joint of automatic braking, and wanted to remind him. Who knows that Diao Jie's kid skillfully pulled out the automatic brake and chose the MAX position.
"This little thing can do it!" Xu Qing secretly complained to himself: "Report the tower, request to occupy the runway, and request ground support." ”
Diao Jie immediately announced that MAYDAY, and the regular instructor played the role of the tower, and the ground support would be quickly restored.
Diao Jie, this kid, then didn't need Xu Qing's command at all, and he used PA to broadcast and inform "the crew is ready"!
This is to inform the cabin crew that they may need to evacuate later.
Although the second fire alarm, it did not lose thrust in a short period of time, and after Xu Qing controlled the plane to land safely, he quickly handed over the control. At the same time, the flap 40, the exhaust flap is fully opened, allowing the aircraft to release pressure as soon as possible.
After the plane came to a standstill, Diao Jie set the stop brakes.
"Engine Fire Memory Project!"
"Autothrottle (if on), disconnect!"
……
"Rotate the extinguishing handle to the stop position and hold for one second!"
On the far right of the extinguishing handle there are three zigzag fire extinguishing bottle release lights. As soon as the fire extinguishing bottles are released, they will glow green.
After 30 seconds, if the extinguishing handle is still on, turn it back to the stop position.
End of the Memory Project!
And then there's the Evacuation checklist!
The two of them have done the "Evacuation" checklist before, so they are naturally familiar with it. From the 800-foot fire alarm bell to the completion of the evacuation, Xu Qing and the two completed it smoothly and seamlessly, and they couldn't find a trace of fault.
Teacher Chang couldn't help but fall silent, he miscalculated!
Before that, he deliberately said "one more time" just to paralyze Xu Qing and the others, and wanted them to feel that this time it was still a return flight. In this way, if a fire alarm below 1000 feet comes unexpectedly, it is very likely that he will make a mistake in a hurry, so he can logically "reprimand" them.
After getting along for a period of time, Xu Qing and the two were in awe of him from the beginning to now feel a little "old fritter".
Although Teacher Chang is not the kind of person who likes to put on a show, he still has to have the necessary majesty, so he was caught and reprimanded by him for doing a bad job just now. I was about to rely on this five-sided fire alarm to set up another wave of prestige, but I didn't expect that wishful thinking didn't calculate that these two little guys could handle this fault cleanly.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Xu Qing is the leader. From the beginning, he almost did not hesitate to make the decision to "continue to approach and land as soon as possible". What does this mean, he had never been out of this subject before. It shows that Xu Qing is still studying in his spare time!
In addition, Diao Jie's role as a collaborator is becoming more and more proficient.
When Diao Jie's kid was flying, Xu Qing took him with him, and he couldn't make any big mistakes. Instructor Chang has always been worried about his cooperation.
Now it seems that he has readily accepted the setting that he is a tool man.
Even Instructor Chang obviously saw that Xu Qing had actually forgotten to inform the cabin. However, this time Diao Jie took the initiative to fill this loophole.
After landing, skillfully handover and manipulation, there is no sense of hindrance in role reversal.
Comfortable, the whole program looks comfortable!
Seeing Xu Qing re-prepare the panel with his eyebrows fluttering in front of him, Teacher Chang retracted the idea of wanting to praise them.
"They must be rectified today!" Teacher Chang was determined to train them again!
"Or return to take-off form!" Instructor Chang commanded, and his mind was already thinking about what the next fault would be.
Manual recovery? Xu Qing's kid manipulated the jam to fall, and it was difficult to recover manually.
After takeoff, the twin engines fail? Isn't it a bit too much?
Suddenly, Teacher Chang had a flash of inspiration and had an idea!
