Descent from an altitude of 10,000 meters [MTL] (Completed)

Chapter 20 Hong Kong

When he left Beijing for Hong Kong for the second time, Chen Jiayu was in a bad mood. He even wanted to call the company to say that he had a high fever and couldn't go to work. At this time, there were only two hours left before the crew's pre-departure meeting. He knows better than anyone how troublesome it is for the company to suddenly be unable to speak at this time. The company had to wake up many captains who were supposed to take turns off at 7:00 a.m., and asked if they could come to the company in full dress within an hour, until the captain gave an affirmative answer. Just because Chen Jiayu suddenly decided not to fly today's flight due to high fever, and only gave two hours' notice in advance. Oh, and it just so happens to be a flight to Hong Kong. So, he just thought about it, and soon decided to fly as usual.

For a long time afterwards, Chen Jiayu would regret this decision.

Flying is a job that requires absolute rationality and judgment. He forced himself to separate emotion and reason, and silently recited the steps of the procedure, which really made his mentality much more stable. When he got into the cockpit, he felt the same as when he was on duty with Xu Hengchuan yesterday. However, the co-pilot with him is not Xu Hengchuan, but another relatively unfamiliar face named Duan Jingchu.

Duan Jingchu, the one on the left and the one on the right, called Jia very attentively, but Chen Jiayu couldn't hold back after flying with him for about fifteen minutes.

The reason was that there was a lot of traffic when leaving Beijing, and they queued for about ten minutes on the taxiway outside the runway. It was Chen Jiayu who flew the flight to Hong Kong. After completing the checklist, Duan Jingchu unexpectedly called the flight attendant Kong Xinyi in with a wave.

Kong Xinyi is very beautiful, she seems to be on the list of the top ten beauties voted by the company, Chen Jiayu also has a little impression, they flew together once before. As he stepped into the plane, he saw Duan Jingchu's hand on Kong Xinyi's shoulder and said something. He originally thought that the two were a couple - such situations are not uncommon. Although Duan Jingchu looks a little ordinary, it is very common to be paired with a flight attendant. However, when he approached and listened to the conversation between the two of them, he realized that they were obviously not familiar with each other, and that Kong Xinyi didn't want to chat with Duan Jingchu here.

Duan Jingchu called Kong Xinyi over, but the purpose was to chat: "Xinyi, where did you say you live?"

Kong Xinyi didn't dare to offend him, so she could only reply, "It's near the airport, it's pretty close, and many of my colleagues also live there."

Duan Jingchu turned around, one hand was bolder this time, and directly put on Kong Xinyi's forearm, as if to raise her wrist.

Kong Xinyi stiffened immediately.

Duan Jingchu said: "The bracelet is beautiful, where did you buy it?"

Kong Xinyi's hands tightened: "It's...in Bali. Co-pilot Duan, I have to deal with some requests from the passengers."

Chen Jiayu couldn't bear it anymore and shouted, "I'm still on the taxiway." From the moment the plane started to move, the crew should not discuss anything unrelated to the flight. For so many years, there have been countless crew accidents due to distracted chatting during the taxiing phase. For this reason, the FAA has specially formulated the "quiet cockpit below 10,000 feet" regulation. Below 3,000 meters, pilots or flight engineers are not allowed to fly. There are other exchanges, which are also written into the rules and regulations in China.

Duan Jingchu smiled and let go of Kong Xinyi, who quickly exited the cockpit.

He looked at Chen Jiayu with a smirk on his face: "Brother Jia, I'm not like you. I don't usually have the chance to deal with this type of beauties. I'm really sorry."

He felt a little sick when he thought of Duan Jingchu's face, but he suppressed his emotions and said calmly, "I'm not sorry. Kong Xinyi obviously didn't mean that, so you should concentrate on flying. The checklist is finished, but your co-pilot's The hat wasn't off."

Duan Jingchu didn't dare to say anything else, he knew that Chen Jiayu didn't like this.

In the smoking area next to Beijing Daxing Tower, Fang Hao and Wang Yuan smoked silently. Chu Yirou said that approach and area adjustment are busy recently, which is true.

About two days ago, Guo Zhifang gave birth prematurely and went to the hospital. The incident was really urgent, Guo Zhifang was on her way to the hospital to wait for her delivery, without even notifying her parents, she asked her husband to call the tower duty room immediately. She had a small night shift that night, so she made a call directly to Fang Hao's cell phone. Fang Hao was on the big night shift the night before, and he stayed on duty from early morning to eight in the morning. The night shift violated the normal physiological routine of the human body. The eight hours of night shift was good for concentration, and it took longer to recover afterward than the day shift. His original shift schedule was to rest the whole day the next day, and he would not start the day shift until the next day. Now, in order to replace Guo Zhifang's shift, he got up after a few hours of rest and was on duty again one day later, so it counted consecutively. The three night shifts did not take a day off.

"Sister Guo, what do you say on the phone?" Wang Yuan saw his haggard face, the two of them had been smoking for five minutes without talking, and he didn't like people who talked, so he took the initiative to break the silence.

Fang Hao smoked a lot when he was on the night shift, and his voice was a little hoarse: "I received a call from her husband yesterday saying that the mother and child are safe. I'm very happy for her. It's really not easy." He smiled, and it was sincere.

Wang Yuan said: "That's good. It's just hard work for you, what can we do in the next two months." Guo Zhifang had arranged her work very well. When she was on maternity leave, a new trainee controller just happened to join the job. However, the baby's early arrival broke all the plans. Once she leaves, Daxing Jinjin will belong to Fang Hao. Everyone will be tired in the next two months.

Fang Hao sighed: "There is no other way, I can only say that everything is well with Sister Guo is the most important thing. For work matters, Fu Zixiang and I can support each other more, it is also possible."

Wang Yuan nodded and asked him again: "How is your report going?"

Fang Hao took a deep puff on his cigarette and said, "It hasn't started yet. Director Yan said that within this week, I'll hand it in on Friday." A four-minute incident report. Writing reports is not a new thing. There are always a few special cases throughout the year, and reports are written whether they are handled well or not. Although he was not the cause of the accident, since the leader picked out a bunch of small mistakes, he had to revisit the performance of these four minutes, which made him very stressed and inexplicably irritable. I originally planned to go home on Thursday to rest and write again, but I felt that such a thing that made him feel bad, it would be better to finish writing early.

The two were chatting when it started to rain lightly outside. Wang Yuan said with a sad face, "Come on, according to the forecast, there will be heavy rainfall tonight, and it may be another night that will not stop." He patted Fang Hao on the shoulder: "Don't worry too much, we have all been nagged by Director Yan, I guess you wrote it and handed it in, but he didn't read it, and just put it in the drawer."

Fang Hao nodded, then shook his head again. He understands the truth, but it's hard not to take it to heart. Re-listening to four minutes of death, reliving the second of panic when the radar blacked out, and re-examining every decision I made was hard enough. Fang Hao is very strict with himself, it has nothing to do with whether Yan Xiong wants to trouble him, he always thinks that he can do better, better, and more perfect.

Bad weather is a challenge for their command work. Visibility is very low, the ground conditions are not good, and some planes cannot land and need to go around, which greatly increases the workload of the controllers. Although the dual-post system gave the on-duty control the opportunity to drink water, go to the bathroom or smoke a cigarette, but the two of them saw that it was raining, and they returned to the control post without chatting. Fang Hao thought to himself, he didn't want to do anything else, he quickly ended this small night shift safely, he went home and stayed up for two hours to get the report out, so that he could sleep soundly tomorrow.

But the matter is so small, at this juncture, something really happened.
