………………
Su Xiaoxiao watched this flower-like man disappear into the distance and sighed in his heart. They say that when you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken, and when you marry a dog, you follow the dog. It is true! She married a person who loves to pretend, and the result is...
She also likes to pretend now!
Bei Haiyang, that bastard, must be hiding some secrets about the two cats! Otherwise, it would be impossible for someone to come and catch the cats so many times!
He took out his cell phone and casually sent a message, "He's lame!"
………………
Zhongdong, a certain country, has an international airport.
This is one of the busiest airports in the Middle East, and also one of the most luxurious. Here, money seems not to be money, but top-notch design, the most expensive materials, the most cutting-edge facilities, and of course, the most expensive pilots.
In the collision of civilizations, fossil fuels will be destined to withdraw from the stage of history, but before that, countries in the Middle East have successfully made their first pot of gold in fossil fuels and began to develop in other directions. Dibai is the most successful transformation among them. !
Here is the world's largest investment group, the best bank, and the most complete urban system. After hundreds of years of development, it has gradually broken away from the traces of a desert city and has become the brightest pearl in Zhongdong.
Aziz is a tower dispatcher. He has been doing this job for more than ten years. It is a respected profession here, with good remuneration and a happy life.
God is very kind to the land in Zhongdong. Relying on the oil resources under the land, most of the countries here are developing well. Of course, except for the frequent wars.
But this has nothing to do with earth worship. This is a rare pure land in Zhongdong. The war is far away from here. People sing and dance and enjoy the prosperity of the prosperous age.
Aziz has been a little annoyed recently because of the three wives at home... It's hard to talk about these things, and he doesn't bother to think about them; here, three wives are not too many, as long as you can afford them.
He was on the mid-shift today, from 16:00 to 0:00 in the evening. More than half of the time has passed now, but the airport is still busy. People in the sky are waiting to land and people on the ground are waiting to take off. They all rely on the control of their four control towers.
For pilots, landing at Dibai Airport may be a challenge. The airspace of the airport is often busy with traffic, especially in the evening, between 18:00 and 24:00. Planes from all over the world take off from different places. After a long flight, It was during this time that crowding formed.
On average, a plane arrives or departs every 40 seconds. There are four runways for takeoff and landing. Taxiways and runways intersect in dozens of places. The airport is like a stop-and-go maze. Pilots must follow the instructions of the ground air traffic control of the tower. , otherwise there will be trouble.
The tower is located 12 stories above the ground. The air traffic controllers at the tower can have a bird's-eye view of the traffic coming and going from the airport. It's very busy tonight with a lot of planes. It's a typical day.
...Under the clouds dozens of kilometers away from the airport, the island-wide temporary flight DJ-1493 was preparing to enter the descent procedure; the captain Bei Haiyang, the first officer Yin Teng.
Yin Teng still serves as his deputy because of his own request. In fact, with his qualifications, he is already qualified to be the captain of the island's flights. He and Bei Haiyang are about the same age, or even a few months older, so age is not an issue.
But he wants to fly all over the world, and does not want to fly on a single flight. In this case, there is no other possibility except to work with Bei Haiyang; he is also willing to work with Bei Haiyang, because he can learn a lot of things, and Bei Haiyang is not a person like him.
Being assertive and having the courage to let go are what the first officer values most.
In just these two months, he has flown to all the continents in the world except the North and South Poles, which opened his eyes and made him proud of his right choice! With this experience, international flights will be a piece of cake in the future!
Because this is an airport that I have been to several times, with Bei Haiyang's characteristic of always letting go, he is responsible for the approach communications, and Yin Teng is responsible for the driving. This is the usual division of labor. In this regard, Bei Haiyang never holds on to the control of the aircraft.
.
Approach control, "Confirm that DJ-1493, an island-wide air force, will visually approach on the 24th left!"
Bei Haiyang, "Visual approach on the 24th left, the whole island is empty at 1493."
As they approached Dibai Airport, approach air traffic control asked them to speed up their descent to avoid the oncoming takeoff flight!
"Okay, we will accelerate down to 4,000 feet, Island Air 1493."
Bei Haiyang, "Did you see the runway on the left?"
Yin Teng replied, "I saw it!"
Before landing, the two pilots must reach visual agreement on the landing runway. Even if there is no problem with blind landing of the current aircraft, this is still a necessary procedure!
Bei Haiyang, "We have reached 4,000 feet, and the whole island is 1,493 empty."
Approach control, "The whole island is air 1493, please contact the traffic control tower 133.9, thank you for your assistance, good night."
"Good night."
Bei Haiyang, "Are you ready? I'm going to contact the tower."
Yin Teng, "Okay, ready."
...There were six tower controllers on that day, one supervisor, one licensing air traffic controller, and four ground air traffic controllers;
The air traffic controller's duty is to issue the flight route and flight plan made by the computer to the pilot, and then the computer will print out the air traffic control strip, which contains the call number, aircraft type, flight route... The license is issued to the pilot,
The air traffic control strip is handed over to the air traffic controllers below, who work together to complete the landing of the aircraft.
The permit-issuing air traffic controller shares flight information with four air traffic controllers. Two ground control air traffic controllers are responsible for aircraft moving between the gate and the runway; two area controllers are responsible for aircraft taking off and landing. Aziz
It's one of them.
Tonight, area controller Aziz is responsible for supervising the two northern runways of Dibai Airport, namely 24 left and 24 right. He will use air traffic strips to track departing and arriving flights.
Today was destined to be a busy night, very busy. A series of orders came from his mouth, and then the planes on the two runways in the north would move according to his instructions, either taking off, landing, waiting, or taxiing.
"All Air Lines 23 taxied to the right runway of 24 and waited."
"Wait on the right side of taxi 24, All Airways 23."
…
"246, are you still waiting at 47?"
"Yes, I'm waiting at 47."
"Okay, it's your turn next."
…
"Spring 569, taxi to runway 24 left and wait."
"Received, waiting."
Spring 569 is a small luxury private jet. There are many such private jets in the middle building. The rich are not willing to squeeze into the plane with others and would rather travel alone, which also brings a lot of extra trouble to the air traffic controllers.
burden.
Just like now, there is a distinguished passenger on the plane. Mr. Abdullah, the president of the Gulf Sovereign Fund with hundreds of billions and the founder of the space complex, is sitting on the plane with several of his guests, waiting to take off.
Abdullah shrugged, "The night of prayer is always so busy..."
A guest flattered, "One day we will be busier, not flying to all over the world, but flying to space!"
