Beijing Daxing International Airport, Beijing tower and control center. The newly built Daxing Airport has 7 runways, with an annual throughput of 700,000 sorties. When it is busy, 800 sorties per hour are all in the hands of more than a dozen air controllers in the small tower. Every minute, air traffic controllers have the movements of more than a dozen planes in their hands.

Beijing is not hot in September, and the tower's air conditioner is always cool, but the approach controller Wang Zhanbo is still sweating a little. He just graduated two years ago and was transferred from a small airport in Jilin to Beijing. Beijing airport has a lot of passengers and he is still in the adaptation period. Friday is the busiest time of the week with many weekend travelers. Being the busiest, he was also the most prone to making mistakes. He kept his master's teachings in mind and issued every instruction as accurately and quickly as possible. Fortunately, with his master in charge today, he felt more at ease in his heart. Amidst such tension and excitement, half of the long day shift passed quickly.

Fang Hao is Wang Zhanbo's master. In fact, at first glance, he is about the same age as him. At the beginning, even Fei Fei confused the two of them, thinking that Wang Zhanbo was Fang Hao's master. It may be because he has cut his hair very short in the past two years, and he has the temperament of a college student. In fact, he is already twenty-nine. He is a senior controller of Beijing Daxing Airport, and he was transferred from the Capital Airport to Daxing. The first batch of controllers. He didn't use the microphone today, but he supervised the work of his apprentice Wang Zhanbo, and his nerves did not relax at all.

Seeing the increasing number of flights at night, Wang Zhanbo was a little dizzy. While giving instructions, he looked at Fang Hao for help. Fang Hao didn't communicate much, so he nodded, then the chair slid into Wang Zhanbo's place, and took the microphone from him.

"Egret 237, Beijing, radar identification, ETUDE-10 left, continued to rise to 2200 meters to maintain, corrected sea pressure 998."

"Oriental 3488, the rising standard pressure is maintained at 3600."

"Shenlu 157, contact Beijing 123.5, goodbye."

Two planes had just been sent away, and there were quite a few planes coming in. One of Delta Airlines greeted in the channel: "Beijing Approach, good evening, Delta 230, with you." (Beijing Approach, good evening, Delta 230, at your command.)

Fang Hao took a look and replied in English: "Delta 230, radar contact, right turn heading 090 to JVN, descend and maintain at 2400m." Keep.)

Delta 230 echoed: "heading 090 to JVN, descend and maintain at 2400m, Delta 230."

Wang Zhanbo looked at him like an idol. English is his weakness, no matter what the accent is, as long as the other party can understand and repeat correctly. But Fang Hao's pronunciation is so standard, almost the same as what he heard in American dramas.

He wanted to praise his master, but he was really busy right now, and Fang Hao had already issued more than 20 commands in just one minute.

"Egret 237, rising standard pressure 3500."

"Dongfang 3488, keep reporting on 5000."

"South 898, Beijing, radar identification, VAK01 approaching, runway 17L, subscript 3600 maintained."

After this wave of small peaks passed, Fang Hao handed the microphone to Wang Zhanbo, not forgetting to comfort him: "Practice more, and you can do it too." Wang Zhanbo nodded his head. Fang Hao said, "I'll go to the control tower, are you okay?"

Aerial control is also divided into different types of work according to the area of ​​jurisdiction. Large airports are divided into area control, approach, and control tower, which manage different airspaces. The radius of the approach management is about 50-100 kilometers from the airport. It is responsible for arranging the aircraft from the approach to the runway, or guiding the aircraft from the departure to the route, while the jurisdiction of the control tower is only about 10 kilometers. It is mainly responsible for commanding Aircraft taxiing, takeoff and landing. Only the tower control is on the top floor of the tower, and when the visibility is good, all flights can be seen taking off and landing, while the approach is to stare at the radar parameters on the big screen on the lower floor to issue instructions. Fang Hao chose the approach at first, because he prefers to take a wider view than to see far.
