Chapter 957 Weird Yaw
The huge Airbus a35o was flying smoothly at the cruising altitude over Huaxia. After more than two hours, it began to leave the Huaxia 6 and entered the sky over the sea.
At this point, the flight attendants started serving lunch to the passengers.
Qantas's first-class meals are very delicate. Before the meal came, the table was full of cutlery, such as cutlery, as well as sea salt and olive oil dipped in bread.
There are six courses in the first class lunch, and every step is very particular. First came an apple bisque with croutons, followed by a hors d'oeuvre - a shrimp cocktail, followed by a shepherd's pie and cheesy mashed potato topped with minced lamb, followed by a light vegetable salad .
The main course is the more oriental green curry braised angler fish with grilled eggplant, jasmine rice and snow peas. The angler fish was cooked just right, soft and delicious, and the fragrant rice was well-defined and tasted quite good.
The final dessert served was a warm molasses tower with clotted cream, which was also very British.
Xia Ruofei liked this dessert very much, and after eating it, he asked for two more - the supply of first-class meals is relatively sufficient, and if it is not enough under normal circumstances, you can ask for more.
Of course, the dinner is not without champagne, which Qantas is most proud of. This has won the title of the best champagne in the world for the first class cabin for four consecutive years in the nettheskyaards selection, and the entrance is refreshing and fruity.
After enjoying a hearty lunch, Feng Jing said with a smile that she had gone on a white diet some time ago - the calories of this meal were too high, especially the dessert at the end, so although the taste was good, Feng Jing also forbeared. The urge to ask for a serving, grab a hot towel to wipe your mouth after one serving.
Seeing Xia Ruofei enjoying three desserts unscrupulously, Feng Jing was envious and jealous, because Xia Ruofei never controlled her diet, but she kept her figure quite well, and her skin was the envy of many girls. Feng Jing even suspected that Xia Ruofei was It's not my long-term use of hand-made jade muscle cream
After lunch, the two sat on their seats and chatted.
The cockpit at this time also has a relaxed atmosphere.
The autopilot has taken over the entire flight, and the pilot only needs to monitor the status of the aircraft, while constantly keeping in touch with the air traffic control along the way, and fine-tuning the route according to the air traffic control instructions.
Below the plane is the endless sea, but it can't be seen at this time because the plane is already flying above the clouds.
Captain Johansson, playing with his retro Ray-Ban flying glasses, said with a smile: Wilkins! I'm going to retire in three months and I'm going to buy a farm in the Hunter Valley and grow some artichokes and daikon!
Wilkins smiled and said: Not bad idea! Captain Johansson, you must be very much looking forward to retirement now, right?
certainly! certainly! Johansson laughed and said, I have been flying for most of my life, and it is time to enjoy the leisure time. I have bought a piece of land in the Hunter Valley in advance, and you are welcome to be guests at that time! I invite you to drink the best semi11yin wine!
One word is for sure! Wilkins said with a smile, I will definitely go when I have time!
At this time, the doorbell of the cockpit rang, and Johansson glanced at the monitoring screen and said with a smile: It's Miss Gu Li!
Then he pressed the door lock control switch. After the cockpit door opened, Gu Li, the flight attendant of the flight, walked in with a smile on his face.
Two handsome guys, what do you want for lunch? Guli asked.
what? Johansson asked back.
Gu Li thought for a while and said with a smile: Today's meal is quite sufficient, this is the first class menu, you can choose freely, right, the honey tower is more popular, there are not many left, but I know this is Will Kings' favorite, so let them save you a piece!
Wilkins said with a smile: Thank you very much!
Johansson looked at the menu, ordered a few random meals, and handed it to Wilkins.
Wilkins also picked out a few of his favorite foods, and of course, he also liked the honey tower.
Gu Li quickly recorded it in the small notebook, and then said with a smile: It seems that Wilkins has a good appetite today! Please wait, lunch will be ready soon!
After speaking, Gu Li took the menu back, turned around and left the cockpit.
The cockpit was calm again, and the two pilots chatted casually. After a few minutes, Wilkins said, "Captain Johansson, I'm going to the bathroom!"
Johansson made a yik gesture and said: Go! I'll take over the communication!
Thanks! Wilkins said with a smile, then took off his headphones, stood up and left the driver's seat.
Wilkins opened the cockpit door and waved to a male flight attendant in the front cabin at the door. After the flight attendant came over, Wilkins said with a smile, "I'll go to the bathroom!" Please stay in the cockpit for a while!
OK! The male flight attendant said with a smile, then walked into the cockpit, greeted Captain Johansson, and sat down in the rear seat.
After Wilkins stepped out of the cockpit, he smiled and nodded to the flight attendant working in the galley, and then walked into the toilet in the forward cabin.
After a while, Wilkins came out, took a look in the kitchen, and asked with a smile: Is this Captain Johansson's lunch?
Yes! The first-class flight attendant nodded.
If you're ready, I'll bring him in! Wilkins said with a smile, my meal will come in half an hour later!
Under normal circumstances, two pilots will not eat at the same time. On the one hand, someone needs to monitor the flight status and maintain communication with ground air traffic control, and they need to concentrate on their work; on the other hand, it is also to prevent extreme situations. If there is a problem with the food, at least not Both suffered from food poisoning at the same time.
The flight attendant said with a smile: Then thank you, Mr. Wilkins!
Hands up! Wilkins smiled and picked up the plate and said, when you bring me the meal, come and clean up the captain's job!
clear! said the flight attendant.
Wilkins walked to the cockpit with the dinner plate. No one noticed. Wilkins took out a small paper bag from his pocket and quickly poured the powder inside into Johansson's corn chowder. inside, and stirred a few times.
Wilkins rang the doorbell at the door of the cockpit, Johansson quickly turned on the door switch, Wilkins walked into the cockpit, patted the male flight attendant on the shoulder, and said, "Thank you, man!
After the male flight attendant left the cockpit, Wilkins locked the door and said with a smile: Mr. Captain, your lunch is here!
oh! Thank you so much! Johansson was not suspicious—the co-pilot brought in the meal when he returned to the cockpit, which is normal.
Johansson pulled out the small table in front of him, then turned to take the plate from Wilkins.
Wilkins sat back in the co-pilot's seat and asked while wearing headphones: Mr. Johansson, how is the plane?
everything is normal! Johansson said.
Okay, let me take over now! Wilkins said with a smile, you can enjoy a delicious lunch!
yik! Johansson said with a smile, picked up the knife and fork and started to enjoy the food. Of course, he would also put down the knife and fork from time to time and drink a few mouthfuls of his favorite corn chowder.
Time passed slowly in peace.
In the kitchen of the front cabin, a beautiful golden female flight attendant looked at the time, smiled and said to her companion: It's half an hour, I'm going to deliver meals to handsome Wilkins!
Good luck! Her companion giggled.
The golden female flight attendant winked at her companion and said, "Thank you!
Then she took the dinner plate and walked toward the cockpit with three twists.
At the door of the cockpit, the golden female flight attendant also freed up one hand to straighten her head, then showed the most charming smile she had ever trained, pressed the doorbell of the cockpit, and then raised her head slightly, with charming blue eyes. He looked at the surveillance camera above the door.
There was no sound in the cockpit, and the female flight attendant Jin's smile was almost stiff. She felt that something was wrong, and rang the doorbell a few times, but there was still no response in the cockpit.
The hathappened golden female flight attendant muttered to herself.
She picked up the intercom at the door and wanted to talk to the cockpit, but no one answered in the cockpit.
The worried look on the golden female flight attendant's face deepened.
Generally, this situation only occurs when the cockpit is very busy and has no time to take care of other things.
But now that the plane is at cruising altitude, and the flight is always quite smooth, without even a small bump, what will the two pilots in the cockpit be busy with?
The female flight attendant Jin didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly returned to the kitchen to put down the plate, and then found Gu Li, the flight attendant, and reported the strange situation to Gu Li.
Gu Li was also at a loss. She tried to use the intercom to contact the cockpit, but there was no response.
At this time, another flight attendant whispered: Steward, look!
Gu Li turned her head and saw that the LCD screen showed that the plane was slowly deviating from the scheduled route, and the altitude was also slowly decreasing.
There are many LCD screens on the Airbus a35o plane. Passengers can see the position and altitude of the plane in real time, as well as the schematic diagram of the virtual route, and even the real-time picture of the outside of the plane captured by the rear camera. Everyone can also see it. arrive.
So as soon as the plane starts to yaw, it will show up on the screen immediately.
However, Gu Li did not make a fuss about it - during the actual flight, the aircraft may fine-tune the flight route and altitude under the command of the air traffic control due to factors such as the weather and airflow ahead, or after the active application is approved. is a normal phenomenon.
Of course, combined with the fact that the cockpit has never been connected, Gu Li is inevitably a little uneasy.
As the flight attendant of this flight, Gu Li did not appear panicked in front of her subordinates and first-class passengers, she decided to observe for a while.
However, the result of continuing to wait made Gu Li's uneasiness even more intense - the plane was not only yawed at a small angle, but now the plane's heading and the scheduled route were completely different, and the altitude kept dropping, although The decline rate is not very large, but this phenomenon is really abnormal.
Gu Li knew she couldn't wait any longer, and she decisively decided to wake up the second captain, Brooke.
She picked up the intercom and connected to the pilot lounge.
Captain Brook, who had just fallen asleep, answered in a daze: Hello?
Captain Brooke, I'm Guli, the flight attendant. Gu Li said solemnly, the plane seems to be in some condition, I want you to come down and have a look!
Captain Brook did not dare to neglect, and said quickly: I will come down immediately!
Soon, the door to the crew lounge behind the cockpit was opened, and Captain Brooke, while buttoning the captain's uniform, asked: What happened? The flight seems to be smooth!
Because the distance between the first-class passengers is not far, in order to prevent the passengers from panicking, Gu Li lowered her voice slightly and said: Captain Brooke, the cockpit seems to be lost.
Lost contact? Captain Brooke raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, how is this possible?
We tried ringing the doorbell, and using the in-flight communication facility, but we couldn't reach the cockpit! Gu Li said solemnly, what is even worse is that the plane has deviated from the intended course and has been descending altitude!
When Brook heard this sentence, his expression changed slightly. He quickly walked to the LCD screen and glanced at it, and he couldn't help but shuddered a little - now the plane has been yawed for dozens of nautical miles, and the altitude is also high. It's down to around 30,000 feet, and it's continuing to drop.
Brooke knew very well that their normal cruising altitude was 36,000 feet, and even if they were adjusted for weather or draughts, they generally wouldn't drop that much.
Captain Brooke personally went to the cockpit door to ring the doorbell, but there was also no response.
He had realized that there might be a problem with the cockpit, but there was still a glimmer of hope in his heart that the communication problem caused the cockpit to not hear the doorbell or the call.
But the problem of yaw and lower altitude is fundamentally explained.
Captain Brooke did not dare to guess the worst possibility. He took a heavy breath and began to tap the cockpit door with his hand. If it was a communication problem, the pilot in the cockpit heard the knock on the door, it should be There will be a reaction, this is Captain Brook's last-ditch attempt.
However, there was still a dead silence, as if the two people in the cockpit were all asleep.
Captain Brook's face changed greatly, and he quickly analyzed the current situation: Now that the plane is controllable, the first thing that can be ruled out is that the two pilots are disabled at the same time.
Because even if the pilot is unconscious, the autopilot of the aircraft will continue to fly according to their pre-input route and altitude under normal circumstances. Substantial yaw and down altitude.
Obviously, this is man-made! Only by artificially changing the autopilot parameters can the aircraft yaw such a large amount.
If it is caused by mechanical failure, the whole process cannot be so smooth.
What is the situation? Captain Brooke's mind quickly flashed the two air crashes of Malaysia Airlines and Germanwings. The Malaysia Airlines flight 37o has not yet come to a final conclusion, and the Germanwings air crash has been confirmed that the co-pilot committed suicide. Collision control
A large amount of sweat suddenly appeared on Captain Brook's forehead, and his face became very pale.
