Chapter 50: The Critical Attack of the Voyage Decompression Procedure
The flight preparation card needs to be filled in before each flight, and the person who fills it in is basically the co-pilot, which is the basic responsibility of the co-pilot.
Lu Jing pointed to the preparation card and explained line by line: "The date, flight number, and crew names are all very simple, and the following is the amount of fuel released, which you can find on the release form." ”
Lu Jing took the release slip on the side, pointed to the release amount of oil and said, "This is it, you just fill in this data." ”
Xu Qing leaned in to take a look, and his brows suddenly furrowed, because there were two data on the amount of oil released.
One is a kilogram and one is a pound!
Xu Qing silently calculated in his heart, and converted the data of kilograms into pounds, so the data of the two is the same.
"These two are the same?" Xu Qing asked puzzled.
"That's right, but when you fill it out, it depends on whether the unit of the plane is kilograms or pounds!" Lu Jing explained.
Naturally, Xu Qing's next question came, how to distinguish it?
"737-800 generally uses pounds, 700 is not easy to say, some use kilograms, some use pounds." Lu Jing's finger fell on the 15,600-pound number and said, "There is a trick, if you look at which is the whole number of kilograms and pounds, the plane will use which unit." ”
Sure enough, Xu Qing saw that the pound was an integer at the end, and the kilogram was accurate to a single digit, so according to Lu Jing, the plane flying today used pounds.
That's pretty easy to understand.
"The following is the estimated landing remaining oil volume, you see that there is a landing fuel on the CFP, and the data behind this is the estimated landing remaining oil volume." Lu Jing continued to explain: "There is also this take-off alternate landing field, the route alternate landing field and the destination alternate landing field. ”
"This is still on the release list, you see that the back of the DEP ALTN shows the NIL, that is, there is no take-off alternate landing field. BEHIND ROUTE ALTN IS ALSO NIL, AND THERE IS NO ROUTE DIVERSION FIELD. ONLY THE DESTINATION DIVERSION FIELD DEST ALTN HAS ONE BEHIND IT, WHICH IS THE CITY OF K. So, if there is any problem, let's go back. Lu Jing said: "The back is the weather of take-off, landing, and alternate landing, you just follow the METAR report." ”
Xu Qing nodded again and again, and there was a METAR message in the release data.
"The next thing is fault retention, which is also in the release data, that is, the flight reservation fault ticket. The above lists the reservation failures of the aircraft, some of which have little impact, so you don't need to write them down, just write down the important ones. ”
Xu Qing took a look at the fault sheet, and there was no need to write down any items on the fault sheet that were slightly damaged in the front compartment of the cabin, what passenger seat backrest shaft bushing was missing, and so on.
However, Xu Qing still noticed an item that seemed to be important - the failure of the left ignition!
Xu Qing asked Lu Jing if this had a big impact, and Lu Jing replied that the impact was not very big, but it was not possible to fly to the high plateau airport, and some operating procedures should be appropriately changed.
The ignition system of the aircraft has three positions, L, R and BOTH. Generally speaking, the first flight of the day must be placed on the right ignition (this is to check the backup AC system), and then the ignition system will be moved to the other side when the disengagement procedure is done after landing, which means that the ignition system is used alternately.
However, now the left ignition is not used, so according to MEL, only the right ignition is used when starting, but after the start, the ignition must be transferred to the ALL position.
Xu Qing used to listen to MEL when he was still reciting a list of necessary documents for flying. There's only one thing, but I don't know how to use it. Unexpectedly, today I discovered the usefulness of MEL.
After the fault reservation, there is an important announcement!
"Recently, DAL has built a new taxiway B, but the airport map on the iPad has not been updated, you look for it in the release information, there should be a paper airport map, which is marked with taxiway B. Let's start by comparing it with the airport map on your iPad. This announcement has been a long time, and everyone knows that I am telling you about this mainly because I am afraid that Instructor Wang will ask you questions. He's in the habit of asking the co-pilot questions, so be careful. Lu Jing sympathized.
Xu Qing raised his forehead and sighed, he didn't want the first class to be so exciting, but he couldn't help it when the class was like this.
However, it can only be said that Xu Qing is still upright now, and whatever shift the company schedules, he will fly stupidly. He didn't expect that there was another thing called "shift change".
In some classes, you don't want to fly, others want to fly, as long as the technical level matches and the rest time meets the 121 standard, you can ask for a scheduling shift.
There's no way, the current Xu Qing is just a blank piece of paper, so simple that it can be. In the future, Xu Qing recalled his past years, and he was really fooled by the dispatch too many times.
"Then I checked my recent experience, 90 days with 3 ups and downs, 100 days with 120 experiences. You just flew today, and there is no such problem, but it is not so easy for the second officer to maintain the experience. If you have the opportunity to fly with the instructor in the future, and you happen to meet a very high level of co-pilot, you can ask if you want to land in time. Some of the high-level co-pilots are not very urgent, and you can apply for a seat. However, not today, you are not allowed to fly in the province. Lu Jing said patiently.
"And ......" Lu Jinggang was about to continue to talk to Xu Qing about flying, but when his gaze swept over the entrance of the preparation room, his face changed, and he lowered his voice: "Instructor Wang is here, I slipped away first, he probably remembers me!" ”
Xu Qing also beat the drum in his heart, and the only person who could help share the firepower also slipped away, leaving him to bear it alone.
Instructor Wang also went to the wine test first, and measured his blood pressure by the way, and after everything was done, he went straight to the data seat, scanned the release information on the data seat, and didn't find himself, so he asked: "What about the release data without DAL?" ”
The dispatch pointed to Xu Qing's position and said, "It's been taken." ”
Instructor Wang slowly walked to Xu Qing's side, put the flight box aside, and first glanced at the task book: "Follow-up students? ”
Instructor Wang's sharp gaze climbed on Xu Qing's body, and Xu Qing was uncomfortable.
"Instructor, today is my first class." Xu Qingjian squeezed out a smile and named his rookie identity, hoping to make Instructor Wang a little more tolerant of himself.
Who knew that this would ignite the powder keg of Teacher Wang.
"What, first shift? How is the dispatch arranged? Instructor Wang threw away the task book irritably, and his fingers tapped lightly on the table, making a series of crisp sounds. But Xu Qing felt that Instructor Wang was knocking on his little heart, and not speaking like this made him even more uncomfortable.
Suddenly, the continuous percussion sound stopped abruptly, Instructor Wang pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked: "Do you know the route decompression procedure, where is the decision point, you only show me on the high-altitude map." ”
