Chapter 188: 737 MAX debuts

"Looks like he's a newcomer, huh?" Teacher Chang scratched his hair and lay down in his chair dejectedly.

The plane on H1 has turned off the taxiing lights, and the crew of that plane has obviously understood the current embarrassing situation, but there is no call from that plane in the apron control frequency, and the plane should still be on the ground frequency, and the two frequencies are different, otherwise they would not have found out so late.

It was also too coincidental that their two planes were transferred to H1 almost at the same time. If there is an obvious sequence, then the probability of finding a taxi command error can be much greater, how can it be so embarrassing now.

An airplane is not a car, but it can't be reversed!

"Master, what should I do now?" Xu Qing has never encountered this situation. Don't Xu Qing. Instructor Chang had encountered a similar situation before, but that time the two planes were on the same frequency, and one plane was discovered early, and he raised questions in the frequency, and Instructor Chang also heard it, only to realize that there was a problem with the taxiing route, and it stopped before the ground control proposed a corrective plan, and did not develop into the current situation.

Instructor Chang hooked the earphones to the side window handle, held his head with both hands, changed to a comfortable position, and said lazily: "What can I do?" Lie down and wait for the trailer! ”

Now the planes on the 9271 and H1 can't turn back, so they can only rely on a trailer to push one of the planes back and make way out.

Because Xu Qing's current location is in one of the main roads taxied out of the nearby parking stand, and part of the tail is still on the S taxiway, resulting in the S taxiway is now unusable, and the taxiing instructions of many aircraft have to be changed, and all of a sudden, the apron frequency has become like a vegetable market.

And Xu Qing found that the voice of the apron control had changed, and it should have been a replacement.

The new apron control issued a series of new directives, directing other planes to avoid Xu Qing. After a pause, he began to ask Xu Qing again.

"Blue 9271, I think you should be able to turn around here, right, do you want to try again?" The new apron control has not given up the hope of letting Xu Qing and them try.

Now is the peak of departures, the trailer is too busy, and the temporary transfer of trailers and maintenance is quite troublesome.

If the Blue 9271 can switch back to the S, everything will be solved.

However, Instructor Chang didn't even think about refusing directly: "What if I turn to the lawn?" ”

Whether it is out of the runway or on the taxiway, even if it is a request made by the control, the decision is up to the pilot, and as long as the pilot accepts the proposal, he must bear all the consequences of this behavior.

The only difference is the issue of shared responsibility.

The other side may also feel that the pilot of this proposal also needs to bear the risk, and the direct cause of the current situation is that they control, and the pilot is not obliged to take the risk for them.

After no longer insisting that the 9271 crew try to turn, the apron control has no choice but to accept the use of trailers.

"Blue 9271, wait a minute, tentatively push the Lotto on H1 back to R." Apron control road.

"Listen to your command!" Faculty members replied.

As for why he didn't push Blue 9271 but pushed Letu, this is a matter for the airport to consider, but Xu Qing doesn't know.

It takes a while to wait for the trailer and maintenance, and the instructor often prevents the crew from knowing the situation and specially talks to the crew to inform them of the current situation.

"Let's hear what they're doing?" At this time, the instructor began to listen to the frequency of the apron control, and at the same time, adjust the frequency of the second part to the frequency of the surface.

The speaker in the cockpit suddenly sounded a chaotic sound, the H1 taxiway between R and S is very short, and part of the H1 taxiway has been occupied by Xu Qing and them, even if most of the fuselage has entered H1, but in order to maintain a safe distance between the two aircraft, part of the tail of the Leto aircraft is still on the R taxiway.

The R taxiway is the main taxiway connecting the north and south aprons, and now R is blocked, and the ground control frequency is also a mess.

After waiting for about ten minutes, the trailer and maintenance vehicle were late.

The trailer pushes the Lotto plane to R, then turns right from R to D, and finally D6 to the apron.

During this period, the color gradually brightened, and Xu Qing had nothing to do, but he found that two Blue Airlines painted planes were parked on an apron behind Q, the main taxiway parallel to the R taxiway.

These two planes caught Xu Qing's attention because their engines were different from all the other planes of Blue Airlines today.

From a distance, the two planes looked more like a 737, but the engine was a full circle larger than the normal 737 engine, and the trailing edge of the engine was jagged, which he had never seen before, at least not the 737-700 or 737-800.

After the plane of Lotto Air left, Xu Qing was instructed to cross R from H1 and turn into Q.

In this regard, the two main taxiways, R and Q, are one-way taxiways, which means that a taxiway can only have one taxiway.

R is from north to south, Q is from south to north, the departure runway used by Xu Qing is No. 21, which is the north runway, and the 120 stand where Xu Qing is located is on the south apron, which needs to be slid from Q to the north runway.

After entering the Q taxiway, getting closer to the two planes, Xu Qing could see more realistically, he could be sure that these two planes had never been seen before, they looked like 737, not 737!

"Master, those two planes are from our company? Why haven't I seen it before, what model? Xu Qing's curiosity was aroused, so he could only ask Teacher Chang.

Instructor Chang looked in the direction Xu Qing pointed, and his mouth grinned: "That, MAX, 737MAX!" ”

"This is also 737? This engine doesn't look like it! Xu Qing is most puzzled by this engine, and the frame of the 737 can be seen in other structures, and the engine is very different.

"Don't look like the engine, the display system inside is not the same, it's all a large display, where is it like 700, 800!" Teacher Chang smiled.

"The company has lost money like this, and there is still money to buy a new plane?" Xu Qing laughed and teased his old club.

Instructor Chang laughed: "The money I paid before, where is the money now, but I heard that the benefits of 737MAX are much better than the normal 700,800, and the company seems to have more 737MAX in the future." However flying this new model requires additional training, thief TM trouble! ”

"This plane is so good, why haven't you heard it before?" Xu Qing said strangely.

"Have you heard of Airbus's 320NEO? Isn't Boeing just to fight against the 320NEO to launch the 737 MAX, hastily leaving the factory, how awkward to look at it! Instructor Chang pointed to the engine that he had never seen before, and said: "This engine seems to be the same as the 320NEO, the Airbus has long legs, and the big engine doesn't matter, don't you think it's strange that our Boeing has short legs and has such a big engine?" ”
