Chapter 307: A Great Tribulation Comes
Airplanes are indeed quite safe, but the world is so big that the odds can be extended to the point where even the smallest can be extremely obvious.
Now is the era of information explosion, and if there is a plane crash in any country in the world, the news can cover the whole world in the blink of an eye. There will be an air crash every once in a while around the world, and the public will not question the safety of the plane itself except for regret. After all, there are so many flights in the world that it can't be completely eliminated, but this time the situation is a little different.
First! The air crash that occurred this time was quite tragic, and only one of the more than 100 people on the plane survived, which was already a disaster. Then people in various countries will pay more attention and have a greater impact.
Second! This is the most fatal point! The crashed plane is a new MAX model! Linked to Xu Qing's special situation of almost passing by the plane crash half a month ago, the safety of MAX will be questioned.
When Wan Qian got the news of the MAX crash abroad, his first thought was to ask if the cause of the crash had been found. According to the person on the other end of the phone, he is still looking for a black box, and it will take some time for data analysis. However, according to the control at the time, the crew of the crash reported that the plane had problems with handling before the crash.
"Manipulation of the problem ....." This is the last thing Wan Qian wants to see.
If the culprit of this foreign air crash is the so-called manipulation problem, the same manipulation problem that Xu Qing encountered, then it will be a disaster for MAX.
Once the MAX went wrong, China Airlines, which had purchased a large amount of MAX, was the first to bear the brunt. Even Blue Air, which does not purchase a lot of MAX, is under tremendous pressure. Blue Sky Airlines' plate is so small that it can't help but toss a little.
Now all Wan Qian can do is pray that the analysis data of the black box has nothing to do with the mobile feature enhancement system, otherwise, everyone will have to finish the game.
......
Xu Qing's home......
Xu Qing, who got up early in the morning to go to the company, exchanged words with Yu Qi again, threw off his boarding pass and work permit and went home directly.
When she first arrived at home, Mei Tingting had just gotten up to cook a pot of porridge, and when she saw Xu Qing going and returning, Mei Tingting, who didn't know it, looked confused.
After an explanation, Xu Qing unceremoniously took the porridge that Mei Tingting had just served and ate it by herself. If you wake up too early in the morning and haven't eaten, put your stomach on the cushion and then go back to sleep.
Mei Tingting didn't care much about Xu Qing's "robber" behavior, and went to serve another bowl by herself. She heard that Xu Qing had a falling out with Blue Sky Airlines, and she was still a little happy in her heart. Xu Qing is now determined to make a career in flight, and he can't be persuaded anymore. However, if Xu Qing can jump to Li Xianyi's brother-in-law's company, it will be convenient to take care of it. He privately asked Li Xianyi to arrange some shifts for Xu Qingshao, and he could fly for more than 30 hours a month. If you fly less like this, then the chance of problems is much smaller.
Xu Qing likes to play with his mobile phone when he eats, Mei Tingting said that he has said several times, but he has never been able to change it, and finally Mei Tingting also gave up. On the contrary, Mei Tingting was influenced by Xu Qing, and sometimes she would swipe her mobile phone Weibo when she ate.
This time, Xu Qing got up too early and quarreled with Yu Qi, and his brain was still groggy until now, so he was not in the mood to play with his mobile phone during dinner.
Mei Tingting saw that Xu Qing didn't have much energy, so she didn't disturb him to eat, and let him drink the porridge with peace of mind and go back to make up for sleep. No one spoke, Mei Tingting was a little idle, so she took her mobile phone to see if there was any interesting news.
Mei Tingting brushed boredly for a while, and suddenly found that she looked stunned, and stuffed her phone under Xu Qing's nose: "Look at this." ”
Xu Qing was sleepy early in the morning, and was forced by Mei Tingting to watch some news, and he was very unhappy. However, Mei Tingting insisted on it, and Xu Qing had to reluctantly glance at it.
"You showed me the news of the plane crash, and you still think I'm not unlucky enough?" Xu Qing only glanced at it and found that the news that Mei Tingting showed him was that a plane had crashed abroad just now.
Mei Tingting saw that Xu Qing didn't care at all, and explained: "This is MAX, the plane that crashed is MAX!" ”
“MAX? What's wrong with that? Xu Qing didn't understand what Mei Tingting was nervous about.
Mei Tingting really convinced Xu Qing's thick cranial nerve, and said helplessly: "Don't you think it's strange? There was a problem on your side, and it didn't take long for a problem abroad. It's no coincidence, right? ”
"It's just a coincidence!" Xu Qing said impatiently: "Is the MAX airworthiness audit a joke? No problem with the plane! ”
"You see it clearly. According to the news, the crew of the control response plane had reported problems with the handling of the aircraft before it crashed. Mei Tingting said hurriedly.
At this moment, Xu Qing's drowsiness disappeared instantly: "Manipulation problem, what is the specific?" ”
Mei Tingting said angrily: "It's only been a long time, and the black box hasn't been found yet!" ”
"Isn't it the maneuvering problem that the maneuvering feature enhancement system is also the fault of?" Xu Qing had already realized the seriousness of the problem at this time.
If, in a short period of time, there is a problem with the same system of the same type of aircraft, which also leads to an extremely dangerous situation, then the seaworthiness of the MAX is really a big question mark.
It takes time to find the black box, and it takes a while to analyze the data, but it shouldn't take long.
At this time, Mei Tingting suddenly said: "If the loss of control with you last time is a reason, what will happen to MAX?" ”
Xu Qing didn't think much about it, and said bluntly: "It's not good to say." But if it's really the same reason, then this model is definitely defective. Boeing has previously informed airlines of their plans for dealing with problems in the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System, but it is still going to be problematic. That shows that there is a design flaw in the maneuvering characteristic enhancement system. If the cause of the crash is the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System, I feel that for safety reasons, the bureau will temporarily suspend the MAX model. ”
"What about airlines that have MAX aircraft? Will they agree? Mei Tingting asked.
Xu Qing: "Just kidding, the aircraft bureau with this potential safety hazard will only agree to let it continue to fly if it is crazy." Civil aviation safety is the first priority, and the bureau will never tolerate threats to safety. As for the losses suffered by airlines due to the grounding of MAX, that is also something to be considered later. ”
"It's useless to talk so much now, and we have to wait for the accident investigation report to see if it is the cause of the maneuvering characteristic enhancement system." Xu Qing said.
Seriously, Xu Qing is really just a pure pilot, and the consideration is limited to the safety of the MAX model. But it's different when it comes to Mei Tingting, if MAX is grounded, the joke she and Yang Jiyue made at dinner a few days ago may really come true.
