Generally, in a week, Chu Shiqing spends half of his time in Guangzhou.The so-called "staying" means staying overnight. In terms of time spent, pilots spend more time in the cockpit.It is rare that there is a holiday when the company will require them to receive training, meetings, and a series of other things.Therefore, it is actually difficult for pilots to have a decent "life".

On Friday, Chu Shiqing had to hold a training meeting at the Guangzhou headquarters, so the Guangzhou-Zhengzhou flight every Friday was taken by another captain with Liu Pengfei.

When Chu Shiqing flew back from Guangzhou with Liu Peng, Liu Peng kept talking along the way.

Start by making a checklist.

"Check the lower part of the single line before starting." Chu Shiqing shouted according to the manual.

"Finish."

Chu Shiqing nodded, and pressed the start button of No. [-] engine: "Start No. [-] engine."

Liu Peng stared at the engine status display and snorted coldly.

"Damn it, Zhengzhou approach is really not a thing." Seeing that everything was normal on the monitor, he gestured to Chu Shiqing, "The oil pressure is rising."

"What's the matter? Start the number two engine."

Liu Peng shook his head: "The oil pressure is rising. When we went on Friday, the weather was bad. The time slot given by CDM was obviously only delayed by 15 minutes, but they insisted that there were military activities, so they made us go around all of a sudden. Half an hour.—starter disengaged."

"Maybe there are military activities... But what you said is true. The military always only informs them when there are activities. Of course they want to say what it is." When Chu Shiqing remembered that he was forced to apologize, he felt that Very unpleasant, "Post-start checklist."

"electric."

"Generator on."

"Heating switch."

"open."

"Anti-icing."

"close."

"Air conditioner supercharging."

"Set."

"Isolation trap."

"AUTO."

"Start the controller."

Chu Shiqing pushed the starter handle to confirm that it was locked: "Slow train is in place."

"Ground equipment."

"Remove."

"Seat belt shoulder straps."

After Liu Peng finished speaking, he touched the buckles of the seat belt and shoulder belt.

"Buckle it up." Chu Shiqing shifted his center of gravity and sat in a more comfortable position, "Thinking about last time, I couldn't fucking swallow this breath."

"There was no way to do that last time. We can't do that again in the future. What should we do if something goes wrong?"

Chu Shiqing tilted his head: "That's right."

The two couldn't leave after completing a bunch of checklists, because they had to wait for the dispatch to deliver the materials.After waiting for a long time, Chu Shiqing was very annoyed.Liu Peng simply played with his mobile phone on the sidelines. Chu Shiqing wanted to go back to meet Yao Lin, so he was not in a more relaxed mood than Co-pilot Liu.After waiting for a while, Chu Shiqing opened the communication channel with dispatch and started looking for trouble.

"We have already launched the regulatory application, and if you don't come, the time slot will be wasted."

"The person who delivered him is already on his way." A female voice answered him, jabbing in the channel, "Wait a little longer, he left more than ten minutes ago."

"Fuck, how do you guys do your work?"

"Don't worry," the dispatcher's tone was actually not good, "I'm too busy right now, there are a lot of delays. The maintenance side said that they need to check something, so we can only send the documents back first. .”

While he was talking, the purser knocked on the cockpit door, and a young dispatcher who was running panting, with sweat on his forehead, handed things over.

"Sorry, I was delayed on the road just now—"

Chu Shiqing waved his hands impatiently: "Okay, okay, go down quickly."

The dispatcher's expression changed, but he went down without saying anything.

In the operation and control hall of China Southern Airlines headquarters, dispatcher Yang Lili looked at the text message sent to her saying that the things had been delivered, and scolded Chu Shiqing and Liu Peng in her heart as idiots.

Then she couldn't hold back, and complained in a group of a few good friends at the university.The result immediately ushered in a series of echoes, saying that many pilots simply cannot work together.At the end, Yang Lili felt her mood calmed down, so she said "Not all flights are like this, I've seen particularly good ones" to ease the atmosphere.

Cheng Yang, who never spoke much in the group, replied "yes".

Only then did she remember that Cheng Yang was in Zhengzhou air traffic control, and 3007 was also flying in Zhengzhou, so she half-jokingly asked Cheng Yang to let 3007 do two more laps.Cheng Yang's reaction was to ask "Is it the flight of 3007?" After Yang Lili confirmed it, he replied after a while, "Now it's the CDM that has the final say, and what we say doesn't count."

Yang Lili was out of anger anyway, so she didn't care anymore, she threw her phone on the table and started to watch the flight plan.

After Cheng Yang became a teacher, the corresponding control seats would have fewer classes.If it weren't for the fact that there are not enough people in the area today, and he was asked to help, he should actually be able to paint at home with peace of mind.

The controller's salary is indeed not high, but Cheng Yang really feels that money is not everything in life.At a well-off level, he is confident that he is living better than most people-mainly in terms of spirit and quality of life.This point is also well-known in the unit. In the eyes of more than 200 people in the control department and the agency, the word Cheng Yang is basically equal to omnipotence.

Beginning in 2012, the high-altitude control area in Zhengzhou was further brought back to Beijing.In this way, the high-altitude area above 7800 meters will be connected to Beijing and Shanghai. After the planes flying from North China to East China are at high altitude, there is no need to hand over them one by one, and small areas one by one.

"Eastern 2546, you can contact approach 119.15, goodbye."

"Contact Approach 119.15, 2546 East."

Cheng Yang took a last look at the information on the signboard of 2546. After confirming that there was no problem, he right-clicked and released it. Then he lowered his head and pulled out half of the paper schedule of 2546, throwing it aside, indicating that this plane was no longer within his control range.

The planes come and go one by one. In fact, the area control is to do some work of welcoming and sending them off.In the process of welcoming and sending, if the traffic is heavy, there will be conflicts.Area controllers need to accurately predict conflicts and resolve them amidst a sea of ​​frightening aircraft signs. This kind of observation ability is acquired through years of training, and ordinary people do not have it.

There is a lot of traffic in the Zhengzhou area, but the difficulty factor of the work is lower than that of the approach. A mature controller like Cheng Yang can easily win these tasks.While scanning the entire radar screen again, he reached out to take the progress list of the next aircraft handed over by the deputy.

CSN3007.

Cheng Yang's eyes just changed slightly, and an association popped up in his mind, and there was nothing else - when he was holding the microphone, he didn't have time to think about anything else.After dealing with two more aircraft, 3007 appeared on the screen in front of Cheng Yang.

He pulled the progress sheet of 3007 over and glanced at the altitude.

"South 3007, Zhengzhou area, radar sighted. Keep the current altitude and slow down."

"Keep current altitude, slow down, South 3007."

The deputy class who was sitting next to him, who had been very quiet, suddenly said a word.

"The voice of this pilot is quite nice."

Cheng Yang didn't even turn his head: "Does it sound good? It's just that the voice is lower and the voice line is more comfortable. Don't chat in the seats from now on."

"I'm just a bit vocal."

Cheng Yang originally wanted to send 3007 away quickly, but he didn't want to talk too much, for fear that Chu Shiqing would make a fuss if he heard his voice.He also regretted what KTV said that day. Although it was true, it hurt other people's hearts after all.As a result, a phone call came from the approaching side after a while, and Cheng Yang's wish could not be fulfilled all of a sudden.

The meaning of the phone call is that there is a small area of ​​delay at the airport. I want the district to adjust the pressure of the plane and try to put one in within 5 minutes.

Cheng Yang had no choice but to start issuing instructions one after another.

"Hainan 5606, turn left and fly directly to LKN and wait according to the standard waiting procedure, altitude 72. West 4110, turn left and fly directly to LKN and wait according to standard waiting procedure, altitude 75. The airport is currently experiencing small delays."

"Turn left and fly straight to LKN, altitude 72, Hainan 5606."

"Turn left and fly straight to LKN and wait, altitude 75, 4110 west."

"Nanfang 3007 applied to change the altitude. Now this one is too bumpy, and the report is slightly bumpy."

From Chu Shiqing's tone, he probably found out that it was Cheng Yang.

The current altitude of 3007 is 7800 meters, the upper part is the high altitude of Beijing, and the lower part is 4110 in the west.In fact, the distance between 4110 in the west and 3007 in the south is as small as 20 kilometers, which is very far away. They were still on the same air route before, but now they are not even on the same air route.And 4110 is waiting at a fixed waiting point, so there is no problem in letting 3007 go down to 7500 meters.

Cheng Yang hesitated for a while.

"South 3007, maintain the current altitude, there is a conflict at the 7500-meter altitude level."

"Then I'll apply for 72."

"There is also a conflict at 7200 meters."

There was a moment of silence in the corridor.

"But 78 is too crazy. Or let me go to 8100."

"8100 meters is the altitude of Beijing, I can't let you go to 8100."

"Then... the big deal is handing me over to Beijing?"

"Sorry, there's no way."

Cheng Yang knew in his heart that the cockpit would have scolded already.

But this is just the beginning.

"South 3007, turn right and fly directly to ZHO point, wait according to the standard waiting procedure, and maintain the current altitude. Estimated arrival time is 1010, with a delay of 40 minutes."

Chu Shiqing didn't repeat it at all, but Cheng Yang looked at the screen, and the course of 3007 had already started to deviate to the right.

The deputy class couldn't understand it a little bit, so he asked too much: "Director Cheng, what is this?"

Cheng Yang hesitated again for a while.He and Chu Shiqing had no personal grudges from the very beginning.

"I taught him to be a man."

"I|fuck|he|fuck!"

While cursing, Chu Shiqing adjusted his course and flew straight to ZHO.

"Farewell, Shiqing!" Liu Peng also yelled from the sidelines, "The reaction is getting more and more dissatisfied at this time. Damn it, why don't we come down and report him."

"Report him? He's the kind of person who wouldn't issue such an order unless he was sure he was doing well. You heard it just now. It was a small delay at the airport. What can we say? Now I want to go back quickly. If I dare to say one more word, he dares to let me go around." Chu Shiqing really felt that the subtle change in his opinion of Cheng Yang before was blind, "Who the hell are you! Just this kind of quality? Just this a work ethic?”

Liu Peng hurriedly echoed and cursed a few words.

This passive and embarrassing situation inspired Chu Shiqing's dark side, and he subconsciously wanted to find a way to bring this round back, so a particularly harmful solution popped up in his mind.

"How much oil do we have left?"

Liu Peng reached out to check the remaining oil level: "It should be enough."

While talking, the plane bumped for a while, which caused a burst of scolding from the two people.Chu Shiqing's heart was hardened, and he raised his hand to adjust the angle of the flaps a little.The plane was about to float upwards, so he made some structural adjustments to stabilize the plane.After doing this, the bump is actually stronger than before, but the fuel consumption rate will be [-] to [-]% higher than before.

In this way, after half an hour, the oil will definitely fall to the position Chu Shiqing wants.

Liu Peng was a little dazed, he didn't expect Chu Shiqing to make such a big investment.

"Fuck, Shiqing, you don't want the fuel saving award?"

Chu Shiqing gritted his teeth: "It's not short of 10 yuan."

3007 circled around at the ZHO point, and then it didn't go up very much. Chu Shiqing watched the fuel drop to the minimum fuel level little by little with a smile on his face.The Civil Aviation Administration stipulates that the amount of fuel that can ensure that the aircraft hovers at 4500 feet above the landing airport for 30 minutes is the minimum amount of fuel. After reaching the minimum amount of fuel, they can actually hover for another hour at this altitude of 7800 meters.But after reaching the minimum fuel level, the pilot can reject any delay.

But Chu Shiqing's purpose is not here, it is more harmful than this.

He pressed the VHF talk button and couldn't help laughing.

"Southern 3007 applies for a direct approach to EDULA."

Sure enough, Cheng Yang rejected him.

"Southern 3007, your time slot has not arrived yet."

Chu Shiqing raised his eyebrows: "PANPAN, PANPAN, PANPAN. Southern 3007 declared a fuel emergency."

There was a moment of silence in the channel.He tried to imagine Cheng Yang's bewildered face, and felt very happy.Although the Civil Aviation Administration has clear regulations on the minimum fuel quantity, it has no clear regulations on fuel emergency situations. Therefore, when the aircraft reaches the minimum fuel quantity, theoretically speaking, the pilot can "think that the remaining fuel quantity of the aircraft is urgent" and declare an emergency fuel quantity.

Once a pilot announces the emergency fuel quantity, the controller on duty will directly count it as a serious error.

And the aircraft declaring a fuel emergency has absolute control priority.To put it bluntly, this "emergency state" means "I will fall if I don't descend."

Otherwise, I wouldn't call PANPAN three times.

Cheng Yang must know that the oil volume of 3007 is not dangerous, but there is nothing he can do.Chu Shiqing was so complacent that he changed course without waiting for Cheng Yang to give him the instruction to fly directly to EDULA.But Cheng Yang always had to direct other planes to vacate the altitude, so he could still hear Cheng Yang's restrained and angry tone.

Liu Peng shouted and laughed, and Cheng Yang began to talk in the channel. At the same time, the third thing happened.

The purser suddenly opened the door and came in.

"A passenger," she gasped, "a passenger had a heart attack."
