Chapter 1 Air China Flight 416

Start from the beginning
                                    

At first, Air China deliberately suppressed the news because the cause of the accident was still under investigation. However, the videos of the media present and some photos and videos of the passengers quickly spread on the Internet. Naturally, everyone in the civil aviation circle knows who the heroic captain is.

With the conclusion of the investigation, it was clear that the cause of the accident was a problem with the aviation oil pipes used at Jakarta Airport, and Chen Jiayu and Chang Bin did not make any operational mistakes. On the contrary, their excellent flying ability and unchanging quality in times of crisis directly led to everyone being able to escape. Therefore, the higher-ups did not suppress the news, but greatly publicized their heroic deeds. Chen Jiayu appeared on countless news, interviews, programs, and even live broadcasts. He was reluctant to go at first, but the secretary insisted on him. So in the end, except for "moving China" when he contacted Air China, he refused. He didn't refuse. Air China may have really won the jackpot. Not only were there no casualties in the accident, there was not even a broken bone. Chen Jiayu is also a star captain, not to mention handsome at 1.85 meters tall. He also came from a double-flying family with a pilot father and The mother of the flight attendant and the grandpa of an air force are simply certain promotional materials.

His fame has spread beyond the civil aviation circle, so it is only natural for a new flight attendant like Yang Feifei to feel that if the sky falls, he can fly with him.

The crew was finishing the pre-flight checklist, Xu Hengchuan asked Chen Jiayu: "Brother Jia, is today your last flight this week?"

Chen Jiayu nodded: "Well, I will rest in Beijing for two days before coming back."

In fact, regardless of his qualifications, flight records or fame, Chen Jiayu has been steadily flying international long-distance flights with Air China for the past few years, and he only flies Airbus, especially the international senior section. A lot of money. These flights are undoubtedly the most sought-after on any airline. However, Chen Jiayu did not fly his excellent long-distance international flight, and even refitted and trained his Boeing license. He was just transferred to fly short-distance flights a while ago, and Xu Hengchuan didn't really understand why. But he was not familiar with Chen Jiayu, and he didn't want to ask him rashly.

Although Chen Jiayu is the captain, this time he does not plan to be the main pilot, but Xu Hengchuan is mainly responsible for controlling the aircraft, which just allows him to accumulate the experience and hours of the main flight, while he is responsible for executing checklists, radio communications, etc. This is also a good exercise for Xu Hengchuan. They finished their work very early, but there was a problem with the scheduling at Baiyun Airport, which made them wait for another half an hour.

Xu Hengchuan is from Guangzhou, and he often sees from Bai Yunfei. He can see that Chen Jiayu is a little impatient, but he is still tense, so he explained: "Recently, this has often happened. I don't know if it's the lack of people on the ground, or the traffic is heavy recently. Last time I was delayed by four hours with the other captain."

Chen Jiayu made a joke and said: "There is a four-hour delay, so you guys just don't fly."

Xu Hengchuan said helplessly: "There is no way, the tower is not strong enough. The airport should also be expanded."

Chen Jiayu was even more annoyed when he watched the Dongfang and Cathay Pacific planes that arrived later than him slide out in front of him one after another. However, Guangzhou is not his territory. He turned on the radio and wanted to argue with the ground, but he thought it was unnecessary, so he turned off the radio.

The cabin was very noisy due to the delay, and several passengers made things difficult for them. They grabbed Yang Feifei over a problem of hot and cold water, and almost made Yang Feifei cry. Even Chen Jiayu came out of the cockpit to check the situation-today Xu Hengchuan took the lead, So he took on all the other tasks, including of course making sure everything was in order in the cabin. At a glance, he saw Yang Feifei secretly wiping tears with a tissue. He frowned, but when he saw Cheng Xuan, the purser, supporting Yang Feifei's shoulder and giving him a nod of approval, Chen Jiayu sat back.

"What's wrong, brother Jia?" Xu Hengchuan asked him.

Chen Jiayu said: "It's okay, you fly yours." He took out his mobile phone to check, there was no text message or WeChat, and slipped the mobile phone into his pocket again.

In contrast to the cabin, the cockpit is quiet and silent. After forty minutes of waiting, Xu Hengchuan quietly maneuvered the Boeing 737-800 and slid him off the runway.

From time to time, Chen Jiayu would think of that day two years and ten months ago, when he was flying high into the sky, he didn't know what kind of fate was waiting for him. Not only him and his co-pilot Chang Bin, the two model captains with four stripes on their shoulders, but also all kinds of travelers on Flight 416, whether they are bankers with successful careers, entrepreneurs who are always flying trapeze, or The poor backpackers, the lives of more than 200 people have been rewritten forever since that day. They become "survivors".

He remembers the initial moment of panic when the engine stuttered and the fuselage shook, and he also remembered that on the instrument panel, the thrust of the engines on both sides instantly slipped to a dazzling 0%, and the plane fell straight into the sky over the South China Sea like a gliding attitude. km. He clearly remembers every second of this process, which left a deep memory in his mind like a phonograph recording a disc, and it was like reading a disc, and it was played repeatedly for more than a thousand days afterwards. Whenever this time, he forced himself to forget.

"Air China 1332, taxi out, runway 2R, turn right and depart at 090." He picked up the radio and whispered the tower's instructions.

Under the huge thrust, the speed of the plane rose quickly. He stared at the speedometer intently: "V1." This is the decision speed. After reaching this speed, the plane will take off no matter what.

"Turn up the wheels." The nose of the Boeing 737 lifted up and flew towards the sky above Baiyun Airport--

Non-civil aviation practitioners, try to check the information as much as possible, please forgive me if there is something unrealistic.
