CaptainKomiks: Confident in the face of danger, have confidence in controlling the aircraft
At the meeting, Captain Liu Chuanjian recalled that the plane was in cruising at the time of the incident. Suddenly, he heard a “bangKomiks” burst, and the windshield in front of the right seat broke in a mesh. The crew immediately reported to the air traffic control department: “FlyingCinema plane malfunctioned and was about to return. “”” Less than a second after the report, I heard a loud bang, and turned around and saw half of the co-pilot fly out of the window. The plane began to fall and its speed increased. “
Liu Chuanjian said that after the windshield glass broke and fell off, the biggest problem faced was lack of oxygen and cold. At that time, the temperature outside the cabin was about -40℃ and the speed was about 800Babaylankm, the aircraft must descend to its lowest altitude as soon as possible. “But if the whereabouts are fast, the speed will increase, and the impact will be greater. Faced with this ‘difficult’, we chose the appropriate speed to drop to a safe height while ensuring safety.” He recalled that his body was almost deformed at the time, and he could not hear any sound in his ears for a while, and after a while, all he heard was noise. After that, the crew can only communicate with each other by Cinema gestures. Despite the severe situation, Liu Chuanjian is still confident in controlling the plane. He said, “I am very confident about the route Babaylan and I am very decisive in making the decision to make a pre-landing. I thought about it briefly and found that I have been flying this route hundreds of times, and the plane has such a fault. As a simulator instructor, I have set up such subjects and know what is going on, so I am very good at the location and the overall situation of the plane.There is a control over Komiks. ”
The second captain Liang Peng also said that although the simulator could not completely restore the situation at that time, the crew had been following the standard training procedures, which was the main reason for the final good results. For Captain Komiks, will this experience make them “afraid of flying”? Liang Peng said with a smile that he was professional: “I’m really not afraid. ”
Flight attendant: To comfort the passengers with a professional attitude
The incident happened suddenly. In the cabin, the flight attendant Bi Nan and her colleagues were trying their best to comfort the passengers. She recalled that she immediately implemented the treatment plan for the pressure relief of the cabin: pull down the oxygen mask and inhalate oxygen, fix herself, and take self-protection measures, and then notify the passengers with the radio, so that the passengers could pull down the oxygen mask with force. “The wind was too loud at the time, and I couldn’t hear the passengers’ shouts, but through our comfort and guidance, every passenger had his seat belt and pulled down the oxygen mask for oxygen, so no passenger was injured. ”
Bi Nan introduced that he was in the front cabin duty position and felt cold. However, he later learned that the passengers were not particularly cold in the cabin. After the flight stabilized, the crew comforted the passengers. “At that time, there were passengers crying, so we told them: ‘Believe us, we have been professionally trained, and we can send you to our destination all over the place. ’ Every flight attendant has said this sentence. We have a clear idea in our hearts, we believe in the captain, and our training every day. ”
Troubleshooting: The reason why the windshield glass of the same model is broken and falls from the windshield glass of the cabin is Chen Jianzhong, chief engineer of Sichuan Airlines, said that Sichuan Airlines’ investigation of the same model of windshield glass has been completed and no problems have been found.
Will the windshield glass be removed in the future?Is glass included in routine inspection items? Chen Jianzhong introduced that the windshield glass must be checked before and after each flight, including whether its heating function is intact and whether there are defects in the appearance. If you find any problem with the windshield, you must solve it before taking off. The windshield glass is a “repair project depending on the situation” and will be used all the time if there is no problem found.
Chuan Airlines introduced that the Civil Aviation Administration of China has set up a special investigation team regarding the cause of the accident, and at the same time, it invites aircraft manufacturers, glass manufacturers, and the Civil Aviation Administration of France to form a joint investigation team. At present, experts from Airbus at its headquarters in China have arrived in advance, while experts from Airbus headquarters and the Civil Aviation Administration of France are on the way. The investigation was very detailed. On the 15th, the investigation team conducted an hour and 40 minutes for only collecting evidence. In the preliminary information released, the windshield glass involved is an original piece of the machine, there is no fault record, and no replacement and repair work has been carried out. In other words, at the time of the incident, he was in a good state.
