Chapter 542: The plane encountered a force 5 gale
A long afternoon.
Jiang Duoduo, who had nothing to do after eating, had the perfect opportunity to take a good afternoon nap.
Lokai has several urgent emails to attend to.
At this moment, he was opening the laptop he carried with him and typing away next to Jiang Duoduo.
Luo Zifeng and Qin Feilin, who were sitting in the front row, were drinking coffee and chatting casually.
The two of them were like good friends who hadn't seen each other for many years, chatting about work, family, and their respective interests and hobbies.
It seemed like they could talk about anything, and from time to time they would let out a slight laugh.
Mr. Shang was reading a magazine and leisurely drinking the afternoon tea made by the flight attendant.
Only Shang Jing'an was being stared at by the old man, and was now struggling to read the detailed plan of this project.
The flight attendant and the chef were fine too, they both fastened their seat belts and sat in their respective seats.
Captain Lin Xin turned on the automatic flight mode, drank the fragrant coffee and chatted happily with the co-pilot.
"Captain Lin, today is my first flight since getting my pilot's license. I was really nervous at first, worried that something might go wrong during the flight."
"After all, I used to fly as a student under the guidance of an instructor. I didn't expect that flying with Captain Lin would be just as easy!"
Today's assistant pilot is a newcomer named Cheng Wu, who just graduated from the training school where Lin Xin is working.
This training school provides employment recommendations. Mr. Shang’s private jet just happened to be in need of a pilot, so Lin Xin recommended Cheng Wu.
"In fact, flying a private jet gives us more freedom than working for an airline. There aren't so many rules and regulations. All we have to do is serve our boss well. If our boss is generous, we can even earn more than flying a passenger plane for an airline."
"You just graduated, so you should work as a pilot assistant for a few years to gain experience, and then you can become a captain!"
Lin Xin took several sips of coffee, glanced at the dashboard in front of him, and smiled as he made promises to Cheng Wu.
"Really? Then I will definitely learn from Captain Lin."
Flying a plane has always been Cheng Wu's dream. In order to allow him to get a pilot's license, his family even owed hundreds of thousands of foreign debts.
When Cheng Wu heard Lin Xin say that flying a private jet could make more money than working for an airline, he immediately became delighted.
"Of course it's true! Just fly well, kid! When we get close to our destination airport, I'll let you land the plane!"
Generally, training schools will give some subsidies for this kind of work of training new people, so Lin Xin is naturally happy to do it.
Lin Xin has flown from Kyoto to City H in Country D several times.
Although the flight time is a bit long, the automatic flight mode can basically be turned on except for take-off and landing.
Moreover, the assistant pilots in the past were all experienced old pilots, so when Lin Xin wanted to take a nap, he could let the assistant pilot take over the flight.
Unless there is extreme weather, the drive is basically easy.
"Huh? Let me land?"
Cheng Wugang was still full of enthusiasm, but he felt a little nervous when he heard that he was asked to land.
During the flight test, his takeoff and landing scores barely passed, and Cheng Wu was nervous every time he performed.
Especially during landing, he was trembling with fear even with the school coach sitting next to him, and he would break out in cold sweats every time he got off the plane.
"Why? You don't dare?"
Lin Xin finished the coffee in the cup and asked with a smile.
"No... no... I'm just afraid that I'll start getting nervous again..."
Cheng Wu was very perceptive and took Lin Xin's empty cup and threw it into the trash can behind him, then looked down at the dashboard in front of him and stuttered.
"Hahaha... Why are you nervous when I'm here? Just think of me as your school coach."
Lin Xin smiled and patted Cheng Wu's shoulder. "When the time comes, just listen to my instructions and pull the lever."
"Okay... I'll give it a try then. Thank you, Captain Lin, for the opportunity!"
Although he was nervous, Cheng Wu was still very eloquent.
Otherwise, he would not have been assigned a flight assistant job by the school as soon as he got his pilot's license.
He kept saying thank you to Captain Lin on the left and thank you to Captain Lin for giving him the opportunity on the right, which made Lin Xin feel a little elated.
I thought to myself that this child can talk, and I must take good care of him in the future!
……
The sky was gray and gloomy. The sky that was blue sky and white clouds before suddenly became dim.
It was 5 pm Kyoto time, 11 am Country D time.
The chefs and flight attendants in the kitchen are preparing meals.
After everyone finished the meal, it was almost time for us to arrive at Lawanglai Airport in H City.
At this time, Captain Lin Xin received a strong wind warning from Lawanglai Airport, asking him to prepare for landing into the wind.
"Before we set off, we saw that the weather in H City was sunny and windy. How come it's so windy just a few hours later? This D Country Meteorological Bureau is really not good enough!"
When Cheng Wu heard the strong wind warning, he started to panic again. He had never landed into the wind before.
I should talk to Captain Lin and watch him operate this time to learn from his experience.
"It's okay. This force 5 wind won't have much of an impact. Besides, the airport has already taken countermeasures. We can just land as usual."
"However, since this is your first assisted flight today, I will be in charge of the landing. Please observe carefully. This will be valuable experience for your future flights."
"Okay...Okay. Captain Lin, I will definitely observe and learn carefully!"
Cheng Wu didn't expect that the problem of landing that he was just worried about was now solved immediately.
Now, no matter how strong the wind is, Cheng Wu is not afraid. Anyway, Captain Lin is at the controls and he can sit there safely.
Regarding the plane encountering a force 5 gale, Lin Xin asked the flight attendant to briefly explain it to the passengers in the cabin.
For business people who fly frequently and visit Mount Lhotse, a force 5 gale is nothing to be afraid of. It will just cause the plane to shake a few times during landing.
Although Jiang Duoduo has not taken as many flights as them, she has experience in flying!
A level 5 gale is indeed not a big risk, so Jiang Duoduo, who had just woken up, was planning to go to the bathroom to wash her face and then wait for dinner.
Oh no, it should be lunch time in Country D now.
Although Qin Feilin has taken many flights, she is timid and cares about her life. She became nervous when she heard about the strong wind.
"Filin, it's okay. Level 5 won't affect landing. Besides, I'm right next to you. I'm sure nothing will happen to you."
Luo Zifeng reached out and held Qin Feilin's hand, which was clenched into a fist due to nervousness, and told her to relax, saying that he would be there for her.
He's like a pilot!
Even for the captain, it is hard to say that there will be no accidents when facing strong winds.
Haha! Men! They just love to act like heroes in front of women!
"Captain Lin, you...what's wrong with you? Why do you look so grim?"
Just when everyone didn't take the level 5 gale seriously, Lin Xin in the cockpit of the plane suddenly felt a tightness in his chest and even a little breathless.
