Chapter 12 Arriving at the destination soon

cockpit.

Jiang Yifan and Lin Chengyi have already begun to get busy.

The plane is now less than 300 kilometers away from Jiangbei Airport, which is a flight of more than 20 minutes.

There are strict procedures for landing and taking off of civil aviation aircraft.

There are four major steps in landing an airplane, namely: descending altitude, leveling the fuselage, touchdown and landing roll.

When there are still about 100 kilometers from the airport, the flight attendant will inform the cabin passengers to put away the tray table and check the seat belts.

As for the crew members, they need to contact the regional controller and apply to lower the aircraft's flight altitude from 4000 meters to [-] meters.

"Captain, the guest in the upper cabin asked me to send you another message." At this time, Zhou Yawen hurried in.

Why use 'and'? !

Because Jiang Yifan was spoken to by a beautiful first-class passenger, it had already spread among them.

But the content of the words was kept strictly confidential by Bi Nan.

Jiang Yifan was about to contact the regional controller when he heard Zhou Yawen's words and frowned, "The plane will arrive at Jiangbei Airport soon. If we don't check the passenger's seat belt now, we still have time to play around with her, right?!"

The co-pilot Lin Chengyi suddenly fell silent.

Zhou Yawen was startled by Jiang Yifan's stern tone and said hurriedly, "I'm sorry, captain, I, I'll go back right now."

Both sides are masters, but I am the only one who is the doormat.

"Check the seat belts of all passengers! Oxygen machines! Then all flight attendants return to their seats immediately and make all preparations before landing." Jiang Yifan said in a stern tone.

Zhou Yawen quickly said, "Okay."

He left the cockpit with a panic look on his face.

When passing by the first class cabin, she first cast an apologetic look at Nie Xiaoyu, who was already looking forward to it, and then hurried to the cabin to convey Jiang Yifan's instructions to the other cabin crew members.

Bi Nan also knew that this was to prepare for the landing of the passenger plane.

So he quickly said, "Okay, let's go and get busy."

Then he pulled up the intercom and started broadcasting: "Dear passengers, we are about to arrive at the destination of this flight - Shancheng Jiangbei International Airport. The plane is descending. Please sit back in your original position, fasten your seat belts, and put away your bags. board and adjust the seat back to the normal position. All personal computers and electronic devices must be turned off. Please confirm whether your carry-on items are properly placed. We will dim the cabin lights later."

When she made the announcement in English again, the other flight attendants had already begun to check one by one, not letting anyone go.

All the flight attendants took their seats, and Bi Nan pulled the intercom in the captain's cab.

"Captain Jiang Yifan, all 108 passengers have been retrieved."

Jiang Yifan has already contacted the regional controller and obtained the descent application.

"Switch to manual driving mode." He said to the co-pilot Lin Chengyi.

"Received." Lin Chengyi quickly switched the automatic driving mode to manual driving mode.

Jiang Yifan immediately put down and lowered his head.

Accompanied by the roar of the passenger plane's engine, the A320 passenger plane dived towards the ground.

The airport is the parking lot for airplanes.

Every plane entering and exiting the airport has strict procedures to follow.

For example, when you are still about half an hour away from the airport, you need to get down to the altitude and contact the approach controller.

The approach controller is equivalent to the staff in the parking lot, guiding the aircraft to line up and land in an orderly manner, which runway to land on, etc.

Shancheng Jiangbei Airport is one of the eight regional hub airports in Xia State, and there are countless passenger flights to and from it every day.

So this set of procedures has become more stringent.

Just after descending to altitude 4000, Jiang Yifan immediately switched channels and contacted the Jiangbei Airport approach controller.

Then he immediately said to the co-pilot Lin Chengyi, "Turn on the APU, landing lights, and turn off the cabin lights."

"Received." Lin Chengyi quickly agreed.

"Shandong Airlines 4790, maintain 3500 and continue." The approach controller's voice sounded in the radio headset again. "Shandong Airlines S790 received, 3500 maintained." Jiang Yifan replied to the approach controller while giving instructions to Lin Chengyi, "Adjust the flap landing configuration to state 3."

"clear."

Under normal circumstances, passenger planes have extremely complicated takeoff and landing procedures. They do not align with the runway and land straight on the airport.

The airport is a parking lot for airplanes, and there may be many airplanes taking off and landing at the same time.

But there are only so many runways.

In order to ensure the safety of each aircraft, the aircraft must be lined up to take off/land in an orderly manner.

But airplanes cannot hover directly in the air like cars.

How to avoid a tragic collision between high-speed aircraft in the sky! ?
The steps are simple.

Fly three or five sides.

What are 'three sides' and 'five sides'? !

'Three-sided' and 'five-sided' flying is an important course for training pilots. To put it bluntly, it means flying a rectangular route (three-dimensional) around the airport, which is called a take-off and landing route in terminology.

This way they can take off and land in an orderly manner without bumping into each other.

'Three sides' means that when the aircraft is in the air, whether it is landing or leaving the airport, it must draw a complete rectangle in the air to avoid collision with other aircraft.

So you need to turn left, turn left, and turn left again (or turn right, turn right, and turn right again).

The second left turn flight phase is the 'three sides'.

At this time, the aircraft is just in the downwind stage, so it is called the leeward side.

As for the 'fifth side', it means one side (the departure side), the second side (the crosswind side), the third side (the leeward side), the fourth side (the baseline side), and the fifth side (the final approach).

After the final flight, we have almost circled the airport.

The passenger plane continued to decrease in altitude while flying the final leg. By the time it finished flying the last leg, the aircraft was only a few hundred meters high and could visually see the airport runway.

At this time, you can land directly.

When a passenger aircraft is flying three or five directions, it needs to constantly contact the approach controller and constantly adjust the aircraft's altitude and flight attitude according to the approach controller's instructions.

Even the airspeed is strictly controlled by the approach controller.

In other words, at this time, the approach controller is the god of all passenger aircraft taking off and landing.

Whatever he said was what he said, and there was no room for bargaining.

Jiang Yifan kept adjusting the aircraft's flight attitude while accepting the instructions from the approach controller.

He turned to look at Lin Chengyi and ordered, "The landing speed is too fast. Fully extend the flaps and open the spoilers to reduce the airspeed. Remember to remind me to return the spoilers to the armed mode before landing."

Lin Chengyi did not answer, but his movements were not slow.

In fact, flying a commercial airliner is not as difficult as imagined. You can choose the autopilot mode most of the time, but it must be manually driven by maintenance personnel during takeoff and landing.

Although the ILS (Invisible Landing) system has been developed, who can rely on the machine? !
This is related to the safety of hundreds of people, and the captain and co-pilot have nothing to say if they work harder.

Otherwise, white-collar workers would be paid so much.

"Shandong Airlines 4790, down to 2100, rest sea pressure 1004, descent rate above 2000." The approach controller's voice once again echoed in the infinite headset.

Jiang Yifan repeated it and immediately took corresponding actions.

at last.

Under the guidance of the approach controller, Jiang Yifan flew SC4790 to the final flight.

At this time, they were less than 20 kilometers away from Yaoqiang Airport.

This distance is very close to a high-speed aircraft.

"Shandong Airlines 4790, radar service terminated, contact tower 118.1, goodbye." The approach controller gave the last instruction.

Jiang Yifan took a deep breath and immediately replied, "Shandong Airlines 4790 received, contact tower 118.1, goodbye."
