Descent from an altitude of 10,000 meters [MTL] (Completed)

Chapter 43 What If

At Beijing Daxing Airport, Air China's Boeing 737 MAX landed steadily and taxied to the boarding gate.

"Airbrake."

"lay down."

"Flaps."

"Put it away, lights out."

"Activate the handle."

"Off."

"Weather Radar."

"close."

…

Today is a three-person crew configuration. The captain is Chen Jiayu. The first officer who returns to this flight is Shao Yingpeng, who is already an instructor. The second officer sitting in the back is a familiar face, the young pilot Yang Wei'an who has flown with him once before.

Chen Jiayu and Shao Yingpeng were both very professional. After completing the disembarkation procedures, they started chatting when the plane was almost done with passengers.

Yang Wei'an only dared to speak when he saw a hero captain and a five-star captain in front.

"Brother Jia, do you know that during the simulator flight training recently, you were given a simulation of the emergency landing in Hong Kong?" He simply found it strange. He thought Chen Jiayu might also want to know, and because he had flown with him before, We knew each other once, so I said so.

At that time, Shao Yingpeng glanced at Chen Jiayu, but the question was directed to Chen Jiayu, so he didn't say anything.

"Oh, aren't you a Boeing pilot?" Chen Jiayu replied in a nonchalant manner, but without the enthusiasm that Yang Wei'an imagined. Back then, it was an Airbus A330 that had an accident in Indonesia and Shanghai. Now Yang Weian is clearly a Boeing pilot.

Yang Wei'an said obediently: "Ah, I didn't go myself, but I heard from our Airbus classmates." In fact, Chen Jiayu's words were just a test. He also flew several simulated scenarios during training, but they were all designed virtual scenarios. Yang Wei'an said that the company made the emergency landing in Hong Kong a simulation training of an emergency landing scenario. He didn't know how realistic the scene simulation was, and he didn't know what the significance of it was. Chen Jiayu felt nervous when he heard that it was indeed an Airbus simulation. It seemed that the model was simulated correctly. But he couldn't see anything on the surface. He and Yang Wei'an just said officially: "The simulator training now is different from my time. Real events are simulated for you. This is a good thing."

After Yang Wei'an got off the plane first and went to chat with the flight attendant he knew well, leaving him and Shao Yingpeng behind, Chen Jiayu mentioned the matter again and said slowly: "Brother Peng, have you heard about this... ." Just inside the cockpit, Shao Yingpeng glanced at him, and Chen Jiayu caught it. Shao Yingpeng is a Category B teacher who often has simulator teaching tasks. He guessed that he must have heard what Yang Wei'an just said.

Sure enough, Shao Yingpeng didn't hide it from him and said, "It's true that this happened." He turned his head and looked at Chen Jiayu, and then said: "The Airbus instructor knows better. I haven't taught him anything recently. Xiao Chen, don't I took it too seriously, and what you did was fine at the time.”

Chen Jiayu, who was not covering up in front of his seniors, frowned and responded hastily. He couldn't understand why Hong Kong was made into a simulation training. If it was true as he told Yang Wei'an, in order to train pilots to react to real events, it would be okay to design simulation training that was as close to the real accident as possible. He certainly felt it was worth it to educate hundreds of Airbus pilots based on the trauma he and Changbin suffered. However, there are hundreds of air crashes in the world. Why was Hong Kong chosen? Is it really just an ordinary exercise?
