PS: This incident is adapted from a true story, British Airways Flight 9.
………………
Bei Haiyang took off a night flight today, and the plane was still a 959, but what was different from previous flights was that this time it was flight 256, which took off at 3:30 in the morning and arrived at 7 or 8 in the morning.
This is a temporary flight arranged by Air Canada. In view of the congestion caused by the relatively busy routes during this period, the airline has operated such a night flight, once every two days, and it will last about half a month.
For the past six months, he has been flying during the day, flying in the morning and coming back at night. At most, he can practice landing at night. In fact, it is still half-light and half-dark at dusk; for pilots, night flying is also a process that must be experienced.
, unlike in the daytime, you can't see the blue sky, white clouds, sea and horizon, your head is dark, your head is dark, and you fly completely by instruments, so you need to get over the psychological fear level.
So he applied to the airline for night flights, but the flight supervisor did not agree immediately because his flight time and experience were too short, and he only had more than 1,000 hours in half a year.
The captain who originally flew the night flight was a newly promoted captain. If we cooperate with his pink and tender co-pilot, it would not be in line with the company's consideration of the safety of flight arrangements.
An experienced captain can be paired with a novice co-pilot, and a newly promoted captain must be paired with an experienced co-pilot. This is the way to fly safely.
But Takeo Hirata stepped forward to help him at this time. Since the company was not confident about Bei Haiyang, what if the entire crew of 257 switched to night flight together? In terms of experience and flight time, Longteng Airlines really did not have more experience than Hirata.
The advantage.
Hirata opened his mouth, but Long Airlines was not too insistent. After all, it was to train new people for its own airline. Since everyone and the elders were willing, why should the company be such a bad person? Will it also affect international exchanges and relations?
So Bei Haiyang got his wish and flew on Night Flight 256. He had flown it several times and it felt very different. If he flew to the island sea now, he would be able to fly to the Pacific Ocean in the future. This is the simplest pursuit of a passenger airliner pilot.
Night flights are mainly cheaper than regular flights, and because Bei Haiyang’s rare trustee went through the back door, the entire ticket price is almost halved. It is not easy to have such a big price discount in this season, the employees of the Small Animal Orthopedics Center
Very satisfied, and Su Xiaoxiao was also very satisfied. After all, as the boss, she had saved tens of thousands, so what could not be delicious?
Yu Xiaoyao was dissatisfied because he didn't like flying at night. In his words, if he couldn't see the earth or the ocean during the flight, he would feel uncomfortable all over...
But everyone else was satisfied, and so was his girlfriend, so he had nowhere to vent his dissatisfaction!
Even an inexperienced person like Bei Haiyang could tell that his girlfriend was already a little pregnant. It seemed that this guy really loved this woman from an ordinary background, so of course he couldn't help but make wild remarks.
Bei Haiyang met them in the departure hall. There were eight of them in total. Except for Yu Xiaoyao, they were all women. They were of all ages. This was also a characteristic of the Small Animal Center. Generally, men could not work in this place.
It was chattering. Although it was already 2 o'clock in the morning, everyone had slept well during the day and was full of energy. It seemed that they might not be able to sleep even after boarding the plane.
Yu Xiaoyao pulled him aside, and the crow's mouth began to press, "Hai Hai, look at it, they are all women who are close to you, and my wife is pregnant... You have to take it easy and be careful. …”
Bei Haiyang turned around and left. This guy doesn't speak human words. He doesn't like to hear anything. As a pilot, this is the most taboo thing. Who doesn't want to be safe, especially those of them who fly planes!
...In the cockpit, Bei Haiyang and Hirata Takuo were making preparations meticulously. Even though they had made these preparations countless times, and Hirata had been working at it for a lifetime; but being able to work for a lifetime and still being conscientious and meticulous, this is also a rare thing. quality!
There is a third pilot sitting in the back, named Ito Daimitsu. He is also a co-pilot intern from the island country. Like Bei Haiyang half a year ago, he has 1,2,000 hours of small aircraft piloting experience and is now preparing to take up the role. The co-pilot of a large aircraft is also part of the exchange and learning between the two parties.
When this half-month night flight mission is over, Captain Hirata will leave, and Bei Haiyang will be the deputy to a certain Tokyo flight captain under the arrangement of Dragon Airlines, which means that this exchange and learning between the two parties will Finish.
Bei Haiyang cherished the half-year study period spent by Captain Hirata. Seeing that parting was approaching, he started talking more and more. If he didn't say it again, he would never have the chance to say it in the future.
In the field of aviation, he respects every senior, and there is no imitation here. Whether it is his former master Wang Dapao, Captain Hirata, Captain Li, or even Captain Pang, they all have their own flying style. He has always had his own flying style. Each of them has learned something different, which will become his own experience and ultimately benefit him throughout his life!
"Haiyang-kun, are you coming or am I coming?" Captain Hirata said in a routine.
Air Transat usually shares the work between two pilots, so that one person will not be too tired, and it will also help the young deputy accumulate experience. Captain Hirata asked this question because he wanted to know whether his Chinese student would prefer to take off during takeoff. Do you want to gain experience on the plane? Or on the landing?
For adults, choices are childish. Bei Haiyang wants them all, "Senior, I want to come too!"
Takeo Hirata smiled. He could understand the student's mood. This was not encouraged in the aviation industry of the island country. Of course, it was not absolute and it depended on the mood and specific circumstances.
For example, now, the cooperation between the two of them is coming to an end. He is also very satisfied with this Chinese student. He has basically never made any mistakes that he needs to correct. This is not easy!
This kid has a brain like a computer. He doesn't need to look at the flight manual for some difficult questions that occasionally arise. It's incredible!
Island people are very rule-abiding, but if they are in front of the juniors they admire, they are also willing to be flexible.
"Okay! It seems that next time I fly, I can just go to the back and sleep. You know, the elderly can't stay up late!"
Ito Daimitsu looked envious from behind. To be honest, he would never ask for such a request under Quanshima Sora's system.
Seeing his look, Bei Haiyang joked: "Ito-kun, there is an old saying in our country that only children who can cry will get milk! So when you study, you must first learn to cry!"
Ito Daimitsu smiled bitterly, "But in our island country, there are not many people like Hirata-senpai who are willing to take care of the younger ones! I'm afraid that I will be spanked before I cry twice!"
After the three joked a little, Flight 256 slid onto the runway and was released by the tower.
Captain Hirata looked at the speedometer, "V1..."
Bei Haiyang pulled the joystick, and 959 shot straight into the night sky!
