Chapter 187 Where did your courage go?(1/2)
In the front cabin cabin of Star Travel 6554, after the No. 3 cabin crew heated up the hot water in the cockpit, the cabin service happened to be over, ushering in a long-lost respite.
At this time, there were only flight attendant No. 3 and the flight attendant in the front cabin. They put down their seats and enjoyed a break from their busy schedule in this moment of peace.
Today's flight is quite large, and it is almost full at every stage. The flight attendant has not been so tired for a while.
After putting down his seat, the flight attendant yawned and rested his head on the shoulder of Flight Attendant No. 3. His eyes were half-closed, seemingly closed.
"Snap for a while when you're tired." The No. 3 flight attendant was still in good spirits, so she let the flight attendant lean on her, and even held the side of the flight attendant's face, moving the flight attendant's head slightly so that the flight attendant could
Lean more comfortably.
The flight attendant's nose moved like a kitten, and he rubbed the shoulder of flight attendant No. 3 and moved his lips slightly: "If you really squint, you will definitely fall asleep. Those little girls behind have only flown a few times.
I'm worried. I'll stay close to you for a while."
Not only is this flight long and there are many passengers, but it also brings two new cabin crew members. Although everyone has to go through the novice stage, the flight attendant will not be unhappy because the new cabin crew is clumsy. However, bringing new people on board
It is indeed quite tiring work.
That kind of tiredness comes from the outside to the inside, from physical to psychological.
Usually, if we have some experienced senior flight attendants, the flight attendants don't have to worry about everything, and there are still many opportunities to take a break from the busy schedule. But if we are bringing new people, the flight attendant will almost have to handle everything, for fear that the new flight attendant will have some problems.
Coupled with the strange passengers who appeared from time to time, the flight attendant was really overwhelmed.
In the current state of the purser, if he really relaxes his whole body and goes to sleep, he will fall asleep almost instantly. If he goes to sleep under this condition, he will be in a deep sleep. Even if he wakes up, he will probably be in a daze for a while before he wakes up.
come over.
If there was an emergency, the flight attendant might not be able to adjust it to the best condition. It was the last stretch anyway, so the flight attendant thought it would be better to hold on tight and not really fall asleep.
"I'll close my eyes for a while and call me if you need anything. If you find me sleeping, call me!" the steward ordered. She was still a little worried about her concentration, for fear that she would fall asleep accidentally.
Flight attendant No. 3 hummed softly.
But not long after, the steward actually spoke again: "Has anything interesting happened recently? Tell me about it."
The No. 3 flight attendant turned his face sideways and glanced at the flight attendant's face, his thick eyelashes twitching. It was obvious that the flight attendant had realized that he really didn't have enough concentration, so he could only keep his consciousness clear through chatting.
Coincidentally, flight attendant No. 3 had a strange thing on his mind, and he couldn't complain about it.
"Sister, when I went to deliver towels to the cockpit, I smelled a little burnt smell." Flight attendant No. 3 has been bothered by the burnt smell since she returned from delivering dry towels.
The flight attendant's originally wandering thoughts were immediately brought back, his eyes opened instantly, he raised his head slightly, facing the side face of flight attendant No. 3, and asked softly: "Did you tell the crew?"
Flight Attendant No. 3 shrank her neck, and the flight attendant's warm breath blew on her neck, which made her feel itchy, which she was not used to.
"I told you. I told the crew when I smelled it."
The flight attendant asked: "Did the crew say anything at that time? Did they express anything?"
Flight attendant No. 3 tensed up: "That's not true. The captain asked me to get out later."
"You were let out directly?" The flight attendant was a little surprised. The smell of burnt food should be enough to alert the flight crew, so why did they just let flight attendant No. 3 out?
Flight Attendant No. 3 was already worried about this matter, but seeing the thoughtful look on his face, Flight Attendant No. 3 became slightly worried.
"Sister, is there something wrong?"
"It's not like there's anything wrong, I just feel a little weird." The flight attendant smiled and gently scratched the No. 3 flight attendant's jaw with his fingernails. It felt smooth.
"You take good care of your skin. What's the secret?" The flight attendant thought that since the flight crew didn't say anything, it probably wasn't a big deal, so she just ignored it. She leaned on the shoulder of Flight Attendant No. 3 and could get up close.
Seeing that the skin on the face of flight attendant No. 3 was really fragile, just like a baby. So she couldn't help but start to move.
Flight Attendant No. 3 could not withstand such an offensive, her pretty face flushed: "Sister, I didn't pay any special attention."
"Really?" The steward smiled and said meaningfully: "The skin on your face is so tender, how about other places?"
The difference between married and unmarried women is not the slightest. At least under the steward's teasing, the number three flight attendant even started to breathe quickly.
When the flight attendant saw that Flight Attendant No. 3 couldn't resist, he had to stop and said, "I'm not kidding you anymore! By the way, why do you need a dry towel in the cockpit? Isn't it a wet towel?"
Usually the towels sent to the cockpit need to be slightly dampened, but it is somewhat rare to send dry towels.
"I don't know!" Flight Attendant No. 3 blushed and shook his head: "But I saw there seemed to be water stains on the instrument panel in the middle. Does the cockpit need to be wiped with water?"
Flight attendant No. 3 didn't know that the instrument panel in the middle was called the center console, so he just described it in his own words.
However, the flight attendant was also well-informed, and he really understood from the words of flight attendant No. 3 what she was talking about.
"You mean there is water on the table?" The steward simply straightened up: "Is it much?"
Just as the flight attendant's voice fell, the cabin announcement suddenly rang: "Ladies and gentlemen, the plane is about to descend rapidly. Please fasten your seat belts and follow the instructions of the flight crew."
This broadcast was very sudden and without any warning.
"Isn't it broadcast by the flight attendants? Is it broadcast by the cockpit?" Flight Attendant No. 3 immediately realized that something was wrong. The broadcast just now was made by a woman's voice.
"A woman's voice? Is it the female pilot?" Flight attendant No. 3 looked at the flight attendant. Lian Shanxue had basically not communicated with them since the beginning of the flight. She was really not sure whether Lian Shanxue's voice sounded like this.
In fact, the flight attendant had not communicated much with Lian Shanxue. As for whether it was the female pilot's voice, she was not sure. However, since the announcement was not made by the flight crew, it must have come from the cockpit.
No matter who said it, the current situation is not normal. She patted the No. 3 flight attendant next to her: "Check the seat belt!"
Then he made another passenger announcement to remind passengers to fasten their seat belts. Finally, he opened the cabin cabin cabin and once again asked the new cabin crew behind him to fasten their seat belts.
After everything was done, the flight attendant also checked his seat belt. After confirming that it was correct, he let out a long breath. His spirit, which had been a little tired just now, suddenly became excited.
"Sister, what's going on? Is it related to the strange smell I smelled just now?" Things were not going well before, and suddenly the plane was about to descend rapidly. The only reason that flight attendant No. 3 could think of was that he had entered the cockpit and smelled it before.
Got the burnt smell.
The flight attendant shouted: "Don't talk nonsense, mind yourself, and wait for instructions from the cockpit."
As he said that, the flight attendant also became a little worried. A big incident just happened in the company a few months ago. Is it possible that they are going to have another incident after a few months?
Looking back now, wasn't the co-pilot in the emergency landing crew in the cockpit at that time?
Is this a certain fate?
As soon as the flight attendant stopped the flight attendant No. 3, the aircraft began to change its attitude very obviously. Normally, when the aircraft descends, the nose-down attitude will not be very large, and it cannot even be felt in the cabin. But this time, the attitude change of the aircraft can
It can be clearly felt. This shows that the aircraft's nose-down posture this time is unusually large.
Not only that, the aircraft also produced a small continuous vibration. It was like the feeling of a car running over a gravel road. The vibration was not large, but it was clearly felt and continuous.
Now it seems that the rapid decline mentioned in the broadcast just now should be a fact!
Perhaps the passengers who are accustomed to flying on a smooth and smooth plane never expected that today they would experience a roller coaster ride at an altitude of 10,000 meters. After passing the highest point, the plane was like a wild horse that had escaped the reins and dived all the way down.
Some passengers who couldn't help but screamed in surprise. Fortunately, except for the obvious dive change of the plane, there was nothing special. Therefore, although the passengers were somewhat confused about the current situation, except for some passengers who were surprised
Apart from the overly grand gesture, there was no other expression of excitement.
The order in the cabin was relatively normal, which made the flight attendant feel a little more at ease. Now we just have to wait for what the cockpit says.
In the cockpit, under the combined effects of the idle throttle, high speed indicator and raised speed brakes, the aircraft descended rapidly in a huge nose-down attitude. The descent rate soared, directly exceeding 4,000 feet per minute.
Faced with such a huge drop rate, Xu Xian was still a little unsure, and couldn't help but worry: "Teacher, is such a big drop rate necessary? The people behind will feel it very clearly."
To be honest, Xu Xian doesn't think it is necessary to descend quickly in the current situation, at least the speed brake is not necessary. The speed brake can increase the aircraft's descent rate under the same aircraft configuration, but it will cause a problem!
That is, the rise of the speed brake will destroy the fluid state on the wing and destroy the lift. This is also one of the principles of the speed brake increasing the descent rate. However, due to the rise of the speed brake, the turbulence on the surface of the wing will increase.
This causes the aircraft to experience continuous turbulence. In other words, when the speed brake is pulled up, passengers behind will feel that the aircraft is bumping all the way down.
Passengers in the rear cabin could have clearly felt such a huge nose-down attitude. Coupled with the continuous turbulence, anyone with a little bit of brains would be able to detect that there was something wrong with the plane. This would have no impact on the company's society.
good.
Originally, because of the forced landing incident in Kunyang River a few months ago, Star Travel Airlines was already at the forefront of the storm. If another incident that everyone knows about happens in a few months, wouldn't it mean that Star Travel Airlines is firmly established?
Issues with airline reputation?
Of course, Xu Xian did not disagree with Instructor Wang Lingkun's approach of descending as quickly as possible, but there was no need to do it so extreme. Just increase the speed and use the altitude to change. The change in the status of the aircraft was so obvious, it was similar to broadcasting that the aircraft was in trouble.
What's the difference?
Xu Xian, who experienced the Kunyang River emergency landing incident, deeply understands the horror of public opinion. At least he does not want today's incident to spread.
"I don't care if they know it? If I think it's necessary to do it, I will do it!" Wang Lingkun snorted. He didn't have as many concerns as Xu Xian. Do the passengers know that it's none of his business?
What can you do if you know? What can you do if you don’t know?
Without worrying too much about Xu Xian's words, Wang Lingkun immediately ordered: "You two, remember this! If the smoke condition of the communication panel worsens, take the following actions!"
"Wear an oxygen mask and use 100% oxygen. Wear anti-smoke glasses. Close the bus switch switch. Turn off the CAB/UTIL power switch. Turn off the IFE/PASS SEAT power switch. Turn off the recirculation fan! Then execute
Smoke or Smoke Elimination Checklist!”
Xu Xian's eyelids jumped when Wang Lingkun actually recited the first part of the smoke, fire alarm or heavy smoke checklist. Except for removing a few steps of interaction with the flight crew, it was absolutely accurate.
If Wang Lingkun recited checklists for other commonly used non-memory items, Xu Xian might not be so surprised. After all, Wang Lingkun has been flying for so long, and he has gone through many commonly used checklists countless times, so he will definitely have an impression.
.
But smoke, fire or smoke checklists are different!
First of all, the smoke, fire or heavy smoke checklist is one of the least popular in the entire quick checklist. Even a "study" person like Xu Xian could only read it twice, and there is only one content in this checklist.
General impression. At least it would be difficult for Xu Xian to recite this smoke, fire or heavy smoke checklist. Xu Xian estimated that even some pilots did not know that there was such a checklist in the quick checklist.
In addition, even if the instructor suddenly has an idea and wants to practice this event during training, it is very difficult. Among all domestic training centers, only Xiangyu Training Center has a few simulators that can set up smoke environments. Most of the others
