Is the wife married?

It's quieter in the cockpit.

The instrument screen displayed two engine thrust values, and the one on the left fell to the bottom in an instant.

Deputy Yao was stunned for a moment, "Fa..."

Before the words were finished, the turn and sideslip indicator on the screen began to deflect, and the fuselage unknowingly tilted to one side.

Wen Ning quickly reacted and said, "I'll control it."

"Okay." Deputy Yao gave up control.

Wen Ning quickly glanced at the altimeter, airspeed indicator, hydraulic system and other instruments, held the side stick with his left hand, pressed the red button to disconnect the autopilot, pressed the slope to the right, and held the rudder with one foot.

She already had a hunch in her heart that it was most likely that there was a problem with the No. [-] engine.

The A320 is a twin-engine aircraft. After one engine fails, the thrust on both sides is asymmetrical, and the aircraft will deflect and skid. It can only be manually controlled by the pilot to maintain the torque balance.

Wen Ning pressed the plate in his hand, and held the rudder with his feet. The turn and sideslip indicator slowly returned to the right half, and the posture of the fuselage was stable.

"Turn off the left throttle, count down to 30 seconds, restart."

Now to verify the failed engine.

Deputy Yao turned the knob to turn off the No. [-] engine on the left. Wen Ning stared at the gauges and found that the thrust had not changed at all, as expected.

After 30 seconds, Deputy Yao turned the knob again, but the restart failed.

Wen Ning and her looked at each other, quickly judged the situation in his mind, and said calmly: "Hang to 7700, contact the control, and make an alternate landing at the C City Airport."

She has flown this route many times and is more familiar with the surrounding conditions. Now that they have flown out of the Los Angeles border, they are still two-thirds of the flight away from their destination, so they can only go to the nearest C City airport for an alternate landing.

Fortunately, the weather on the route was fine.

"C city dispatch, DC5391 encountered an emergency situation, one engine failed, and requested an alternate landing." Deputy Yao changed the code of the transponder to 7700, and talked with the control.

Wen Ning continued to maintain the posture of the plane, her pedals were a little sour on the rudder, but she didn't dare to relax, it didn't matter if she stepped on it too hard or too lightly, she had to keep her balance.

At an altitude of [-] meters, outside the porthole is the blue sky, the clouds are like dense and delicate foam spread under the feet, the horizon is in a semi-arc shape, and the golden fireball hangs there shining brightly, dazzling.

I have seen the same scenery over and over again, and I still feel beautiful when I look at it again.

Deputy Yao finished communicating with the controller and got the permission. Wen Ning steered the plane to slowly turn the course, preparing to descend the altitude. There was only a slight mechanical hum in the cockpit.

In case of an emergency, all aircraft in the same airspace will avoid to provide the greatest convenience.

She held the side stick with her hand, her feet on the rudder, and her upper body leaned forward slightly. The eyes behind the sunglasses revealed an extreme calmness, as if nothing had happened.

Gu Chixi's face flashed in my mind...

Deputy Yao answered the call in the cabin, and comforted the crew members: "It's okay, the situation is stable, and I will land in City C in about 10 minutes. Please appease the passengers, thank you."

After hanging up the intercom, Wen Ning felt Deputy Yao's gaze on her face. At that moment, she seemed to understand what she wanted to say, and nodded without looking at it.

Then, deputy Yao's steady and firm voice came from my ear:

"Dear passengers, I am the captain of this flight. At present, there is a little mechanical failure on the plane. It is not serious. Please rest assured. Our crew members have received professional and strict training and are fully capable of handling this situation. Landing at City C Airport, please fasten your seat belts and sit in your seats, and cooperate with our flight attendants, thank you."

Wen Ning listened to this cabin broadcast, the corners of her mouth curled up.

They will land safely.

During the lunch break, it began to rain again.

The office staff in the administrative class finished their meals and went back to the building one after another from the cafeteria. They were leisurely and ready to enjoy their lunch break, but at this moment, the operation control center was boiling.

Flight DC5391, which took off at [-]:[-] noon, lost contact with the ground.

When Gu Chixi heard the news, she had just come back from a social gathering, and there was an industry meeting at four o'clock in the afternoon. She was planning to take a lunch break in the office when Secretary Chen came to inform her.

DC5391...

Wen Ning!

She turned pale and completely tired, and immediately went to the operation control center.

The operation control center is the brain of the airline company. It is responsible for daily flight preparation, flight dispatch and release, flight tracking and dynamic monitoring, and plays a deployment role like the central nervous system.The company's daily flight task arrangement and operation are completed here.

On the wall of the hall is a huge rectangular electronic display screen, densely packed with small green dots on the map, each dot represents an aircraft, and the flight number is marked next to it.

There was a tense atmosphere all around.

"President Gu—"

The leaders of the traffic control department and the safety supervision department were all there, and when they saw Gu Chixi coming in, they rushed to meet him.

Gu Chixi looked at the screen, frowning, "When did it happen?"

"DC10 contacted the dispatch about 5391 minutes ago. The mechanical failure required an alternate landing in City C. The crew said the situation was under control, but afterward the DC5391 transponder signal disappeared from the radar."

Off the radar...

Gu Chixi smacked these words repeatedly, his heart was half cold.

In the usual cases, as long as the unit can maintain contact with the ground for ordinary mechanical failures, the situation will not be too bad, and most of the time it can land safely.And once the contact is lost and disappears from the radar, there is a high probability that there has been a serious accident, which is more or less auspicious.

People on the ground can't do anything.

Can only pray.

Gu Chixi stood like a rigid stone, expressionless, every time she blinked, a surge of sourness pierced her heart silently and secretly, and violently spread to her eyelids.

She turned and left the hall.

Everyone behind looked at each other in blank dismay: "?"

She walked into the toilet, opened the door of the last room, went in, locked it, and immediately filled her nostrils with the smell of incense—the toilet didn't stink.She was so embarrassed that she released herself in a place that should have been full of stench.

In the eyelids, the uncontrollable excitement blurred her vision.

She grabs the pendant on her chest.

Wen Ning...

The plane is descending slowly.

The posture is stable and the instruments are normal, but Wen Ning's right foot is very sore after pedaling the rudder for too long.

The cockpit was very quiet. Deputy Yao flipped through the checklist and compared the inspection procedures one by one, only to find that the answering machine had been turned off for some reason, and quickly turned it on again.

After contacting the controller, I realized that the ground was fried.

Without time to be confused, Deputy Yao immediately reported the altitude, position and status, "PANPANPAN, the left engine has failed, the heading is 210, and the descent altitude is 2000."

"DC5391, maintain altitude, turn right heading 230."

Deputy Yao repeated it.

Wen Ning controlled the steering of the plane extremely carefully, trying to suppress the slope as much as possible.

At the same level, other nearby planes gave way, and they had the priority to land. They flew all the way to the sky above the airport according to the radar guidance, and carried out the single-engine approach checklist.

Takeoff and landing are the most accident-prone stages.

Especially with glitches.

"Captain, are your legs sore? Do you want me to take over?" Deputy Yao asked.

Wen Ning shook her head and said calmly, "No need."

The runway is visible ahead.

Although a single engine failure is a frequent training subject for troubleshooting, this was the first time Wen Ning actually encountered it, so she was inevitably nervous. She concentrated on adjusting the aircraft's attitude, controlling the descent rate, and getting closer.

Deputy Yao reached out and lowered the landing gear.

Entering the range of the runway, the surrounding houses and large fields of farmland were clearly in view, getting closer and closer to the ground, Wen Ning held his breath.

"Onehundred...Fifty, Forty, Thirty, Twenty, Ten...Retard..." The computer issued a voice broadcast.

The main wheels hit the ground and jolted a bit.

Wen Ning pushed the side stick forward with her left hand, leveled the nose of the aircraft, grounded the front wheel, retracted the accelerator with her right hand, and automatically released the speed brake. When a single engine lands, it cannot be reversed, and only the speed brake and automatic brakes are used to slow down.

Soon, down to taxi speed, the plane crawled slowly.

After leaving the runway, Wen Ning handed over the control to Deputy Yao. She saw the ambulance and the fire brigade waiting outside the runway from a distance, and she breathed a sigh of relief, her heart finally sank into her stomach.

She touched her palms with sweat.

The plane came to a complete stop, the passenger elevator came over, the flight crew arranged for the passengers to get off the plane, and the ground staff responded with no casualties.

Wen Ning looked out the window in a daze.

"Captain Wen..."

Deputy Yao's voice brought her back to her thoughts, she turned her head, and the girl looked at her with adoring eyes, and said, "You are too powerful."

Wen Ning twitched the corner of her mouth, "It's just a normal procedure." After finishing speaking, she gave her a thumbs up, "You're great too."

The two smiled at each other.

After all the passengers got off the plane, Wen Ning opened the cockpit door and walked out. The four girls and one guy in the flight crew gathered in the front kitchen, with expressions of fear on their faces.

"Thank you, everyone." She smiled.

Everyone laughed.

Wen Ning stepped out of the cabin door, stood on the passenger ladder, and saw a big hole in the part where the left engine connected to the wing, and looked hideous.

The two aviation inspectors surrounded the engine, dumbstruck in shock, "Hey, I've been repairing planes for ten years, and this is the first time I've seen a plane cracked like this, it's about to fall off."

"At first glance, the materials are not finished properly. Well, this piece of skin, this rivet..."

Wen Ning listened to the discussion between the two, and felt guilty in her heart.

As the captain, she has the right to decide whether a plane can fly. If she had been skeptical at that time, had been more cautious, and asked to change the plane, there would have been no safety hazards, and she would not have experienced the thrill just now.

Master said that an excellent pilot is not because of his superb skills in dealing with special circumstances and malfunctions, but because every flight is safe and sound, without incident.

The four words "rising and falling safely" are precious and seem simple, but no one can guarantee that they will always do it.

Wen Ning thought of Gu Chixi again.

The first and only person in five years to say "Safe and Happy" to her.

If this kind of thing happens, it will definitely be in the news and be investigated. The company will not only face the pressure of public opinion, but also the pressure from the bureau and party leaders. In the end, all the pressure will fall on that person.

Just thinking about it, my heart can't help but start to hurt, and I blame myself even more.

Wen Ning's eyes were red.

A ray of cool wind blew the broken hair on her forehead, and the ends of the hair brushed her eyelids, itching, she wiped them off with her hands, narrowed her eyes slightly, and looked at the tarmac.

The phone vibrated in his trouser pocket.

Thinking it was the dispatcher's phone, she took it out to have a look, but the note showed Gu Chixi.

"……Hey?"

Wen Ning lowered her voice.

There was no word there, and after waiting for a few seconds, there was always silence.

"Gu..." Wen Ning couldn't help moving her lips, wanting to call her, but suddenly realized that she didn't know what to call.

Mr. Gu?Gu Chixi?Ms. Gu?still--

Her thoughts stopped abruptly.

There was a muffled sob on the phone.
