The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

Whether it's his Boeing 767 or the first Gulfstream 4 business jet he bought, Zhang Nan has entered the cockpit more than once.

Not only to visit, but also to ask how to fly these two types of jetliners, which are currently very advanced, and have a very preliminary understanding of the functions of the equipment in the cabin.

It was out of curiosity to learn about your own airplane. There was no such opportunity in your previous life. Even if he opened a rebirth plug-in, you should not expect a high school graduate buyer, tomb thief, or antique dealer to dismiss jets.

The curiosity of ordinary people drove Zhang Nan to be interested in airplane driving. He still had a slight fear of heights, and it also prompted him to become familiar with airplane driving skills.

If you can't avoid flying by plane, then learn about it, lest you have to do nothing but resignation!

Moreover, Zhang Nan has more than 30 years of consulting experience than others. The biggest impression of a civil aircraft is that once there are special circumstances, the pilots often need to check what emergency manuals are. This is similar to those who received a new car driver's license 20 years later, only driving but not repairing them, and only knowing how to stop by brakes when encountering special circumstances, and then call someone to help.

In the first two years, even if there were related scenes in some movies and televisions, many ordinary people still didn't know how the pilot would deal with a major accident in the event of an airplane.

Cars can brake, but the aircraft flying in the sky doesn't have the brakes in the air. Every time I see documentaries and movies, thousands of pilots and captains who fly for thousands of hours take out a thick emergency manual to read through the critical moments. , Zhang Nan not only finds it funny, but even thinks it is a bit inexplicable!

Imagine that a twin-engine airliner suddenly fails with a single engine while cruising, and the captain shouts to the co-pilot: "Quickly look through the emergency manual and see what we should do!"

How about dual-engine parking in the air?

Still roar!

"Turn the manual to see how we can restart the engine!"

Thinking with your toes, you can also think that these pilots should have been trained in such emergencies, but what kind of manual seems to be a real life-saving straw, and the results of training in dealing with emergencies do not seem to be pilots in which discipline films. Instinctive reaction.

Ordinary people are not pilots. Perhaps the rules for flying airplanes are like this. There are manuals beforehand, but what about military airplanes?

Those masters who flew fighter jets in Zhang Nan's memory, resulted in serious accidents and mechanical failures in the air, and then the masters who flew the planes back to the base should look through what manuals first?

Are you kidding me!

So Zhang Nan has a very special, even harsh, unreasonable requirement for his pilots: when my personal pilot’s salary is absolutely high, but you have to first pilot the aircraft, there may be various emergencies. Write down the necessary countermeasures and engrave them in your bones!

Must reach the level of conditioned reflex!

Deal with the special situation first, and then go to the emergency manual.

It’s okay if you don’t want to memorize this. There are many pilots in the world who want to get high salaries, especially in the United States, where there are many outstanding and experienced civil aviation pilots.

And Zhang Nan also reminded the pilots very seriously: never completely believe in any electronic equipment, the simpler the machine, the less likely it is to malfunction, the more advanced and higher-tech mechanical and electronic products are prone to problems!

Do not believe?

Then think about the Space Shuttle Challenger!

Zhang Nan cherishes his life, and never wants to surrender his life to two people whose first reaction is to flip through books. This can even be regarded as a very mild obsessive-compulsive disorder.

So some of the questions he had on the phone just now were very awkward, but the four pilots still answered the boss's question without an emergency manual.

One of the biggest reasons for the accident of the plane that hit the mountain 10 days ago was the "mode error" on the autopilot. How did Zhang Nan know this?

It's not calculation anyway. Zhang Nan doesn't know how to do arithmetic problems like that-I watched TV, documentaries, and disciplinary films about various air crashes and aviation accidents in his previous life.

I have watched dozens of episodes before and after, and each episode has an accident. Three of the episodes impressed him particularly deeply. The cause of the accident can be unbelievable. The mountain collision accident of this Air France flight is one of them.

I can’t remember which year I hit the mountain and where I hit the mountain, but I remember that a small decimal point and ignoring the different mode conversions of the same interface caused the plane to crash. The hidden troubles in the equipment design were reimbursed for a plane plus a header Pile of people!

Watching TV just now brought back memories from the bottom of my heart. After I called my pilot to confirm, it turned out that I had watched the crash that was introduced in the disciplinary film.

It’s a good dinner. Even the guys in the restaurant have a lot of topics on the plane. There are many people here who can fly planes, especially like a few red devils. They all fly to the Soviet Union. Various types of combat aircraft!

Almighty fighters, although the skills may not be as good as full-time pilots, at least they can drive and actually fly through the incident.

Ten days ago, the plane crashed because of the wrong autopilot mode. This is not the most bizarre accident in everyone’s mouth. Paul mentioned an even stranger aerial accident: it happened in Canada in 1983 and the model was the same. The latest Boeing 767 is the same big model as Zhang Nan's landline, except that the accidental plane is an early model.

"...Flying halfway, two engines stopped in succession and could not be restarted~www.readwn.com~ and the fuel gauge showed that the fuel did not leak, and the aircraft had enough fuel.

Fortunately, luck and the superb skills of the crew members, the plane made an emergency landing in an old airport where the runway became a racing track. Only a dozen passengers suffered minor injuries during the emergency departure..."

Paul told the story, and Charlize Theron listened with gusto: She was only 8 years old at that time, and she had never heard of this aviation accident in the northern hemisphere.

"...The investigator checked several fuel tanks on the plane, and found that they were empty!"

The girl heard a question: "What's the reason?"

Paul smiled and said: "This is actually a problem of dual mode without strict conversion. Refuel before the plane takes off. Airport ground refueling trucks are counted in units of \'liter\', which is obviously calculated in terms of volume.

But airplanes need to use weight units to calculate the amount of fuel needed for a flight, which is very important for airplanes with weight restrictions. At that time, Canadian airlines have always been accustomed to use British \'pound\' for weight calculation. The ground crew must first go through the conversion between the volume unit and the weight unit to know how much fuel needs to be added to the aircraft..."
