Chapter 46 What to do if the pilot commits suicide

Anderson raised his thumb and said with a smile: "You guessed it right, this device is exactly the change made by the global civil aviation industry after the June 28 terrorist attacks in order to avoid similar incidents as much as possible! Not only

The protection level of the cockpit has been strengthened, and the cabin door has been designed in a way that the pilot can control it. Please see, if this switch is in the standard position, then the three electronic latches in the cabin door will not activate.

, if the captain sets the door to the locked state, the electronic door latch will activate to lock the door, and the door cannot be opened. And it is almost impossible to open the door with force."

"Doesn't that mean that if the flight attendant wants to bring you food and water, she must inform you first and let you open the door from the inside?" Guo Qing'er said.

"Yes, when they notify us, we will open the hatch," Anderson said.

"As far as I know, in the history of aviation, there have been cases where a pilot was temporarily ill and unable to control the aircraft, or a bird hit the cockpit. What should we do at that time? The crew should be able to open the door from the outside, right?

?What if terrorists use this method?" Fang Mingyuan asked.

"After an emergency occurs, it is indeed possible to open the cabin door from the outside. The crew members can enter the password outside the cabin door to open the cabin door. However, if they enter the cockpit this way, the lights here will light up and there will be an alarm.

The door will open only if the pilot does not respond within thirty seconds, and it will only open for five seconds, only enough for one person to come in. And as soon as five seconds pass, the door will close, and no one from outside can open it.

It's open," Anderson said.

"What if the pilot reacts? For example, what if he doesn't want to open the door?" Fang Mingyuan said.

"If the pilot thinks that entering the cockpit in this way will affect flight safety, he can directly set the door to be locked here. In this case, even if someone outside the door enters the password, it will take at least five minutes for the door to open.

"Open it, and five minutes is enough for the pilot to report the abnormal situation on the plane to the ground control center." Anderson said, "However, in recent years, some people have suggested changing this time to twenty minutes to ensure safety."

"Ensuring safety? Not necessarily, what if the pilot goes crazy?" Fang Mingyuan pondered for a moment and said.

"The pilot went crazy? Ah, you're talking about flying a plane to defect to another country, right?" Anderson was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Without endangering the safety of the plane and passengers, it is better than a terrorist incident like the June 28 incident."

"No, no, no, I mean what if the pilot wants to commit suicide?" Fang Mingyuan said.

"The pilot wants to commit suicide?" At this time, not only Anderson, but also other people's minds couldn't turn around.

"There are probably tens of thousands of people who commit suicide every year around the world, including ordinary people, celebrities, officials, businessmen and other professionals. What if pilots also have suicidal tendencies?" Fang Mingyuan frowned and said,

"There are only two pilots in the cockpit. Not to mention the extreme incident where both of them are suicidal. What if after one person leaves the cockpit, the suicidal pilot closes the door and then carries out a suicidal action?

What to do? I remember in which year was it Germany or the United States? There was a vicious traffic accident. A bus driver deliberately drove the bus off a cliff, causing many deaths. If this happened, the people outside the hatch would

It's not a good thing if you can't open the hatch for a long time, right?"

Of course, Fang Mingyuan didn't know about the subsequent Malaysia Airlines and German Airlines incidents, but he remembered the story he had seen on the Internet about the female driver who was humiliated and finally drove the car into a cliff. But he couldn't tell it directly, so he turned around in a circle.

When it comes to Germany and the United States, he "can't remember" what year it happened anyway, and "can't remember" whether it happened in Europe or North America. If Merkel and the others are willing to investigate, Fang Mingyuan won't believe it.

As the two areas with the highest car ownership, similar incidents have never happened!

Anderson and Merkel's brows were knitted together. Although the situation mentioned by Fang Mingyuan is a bit extreme, it is also a reality. Moreover, they also thought of a more likely situation, that is, what if

Is one of the pilots a terrorist? In that case, once he successfully deceives another pilot out of the cockpit, doesn't it mean that he will be able to fully control the aircraft for a long time?

Even if it is only five minutes, it is still quite dangerous. Although it may not cause a collision with the building like the June 28 terrorist incident, it is still very scary to control the plane to hit the mountain or fall into the sea.

Things. And this kind of thing is even more of a nightmare for super large passenger planes, which will cause the death of hundreds of people, maybe even as many as seven or eight hundred people!

Merkel looked at Anderson, who nodded slightly. He also believed that the possibility of such a thing happening was not impossible. It would even be more troublesome than a terrorist attack. After all, during the June 28th terrorist attack,

After the incident, the global civil aviation industry has strengthened security checks on passengers. Even if terrorists want to bring dangerous objects onto the plane, it is not easy. But if a pilot has suicidal tendencies, security checks will be useless.

"Fang, the situation you mentioned may indeed happen, but how to modify the rules to avoid this situation requires experts to worry about it." Merkel spread her hands and said, "This world is

In this way, no matter what kind of rules there are, there will always be loopholes that can be exploited."

Fang Mingyuan said with a smile: "I just occasionally thought of this happening, but I think the probability of this happening should be very small, right?" When Fang Mingyuan thinks about it, civilian airliner pilots, in all countries around the world,

They are all considered to be a high-paying group, and they belong to the kind of professionals who are both decent and well-off. Even if they have psychological problems and want to commit suicide, they will not be buried with passengers on the plane. He also thought of this situation exactly.

It happened, just saying it casually.

However, Merkel took this matter seriously. Later, she raised the possibility of this happening at a relevant meeting, which attracted the attention of the international civil aviation industry, so she added a fingerprint lock to the door switch.

In order to ensure that the pilots of passenger planes will not be locked out of the cabin, it also requires major airlines around the world to pay attention to the psychological state of company pilots. Of course, this has caused a new discussion, that is, if the pilots of passenger planes leave the driving

What to do if a terrorist hijacks the cockpit behind the cabin and forces him to open the cockpit door...

This world is like this, the way is higher and the devil is higher!

"Huh? Is there another room here?" Guo Qing'er shouted, and there was a small compartment in the cockpit.

"This is the pilot's lounge." Merkel said with a smile, "If it is a long-distance flight, the two pilots can take turns to rest here." With the development of civil passenger aircraft flight, the degree of automation has been quite high, especially

After removing the take-off and landing, there is no need for the two pilots to concentrate on the flight mid-flight. The A380 is a super large long-range wide-body passenger aircraft, with a maximum range of more than 15,000 kilometers. Such a long-distance flight,

Pilots also need to rest, just like road transport, drivers also need to rest every time they drive for a period of time.

The group of people stayed on the A380 for more than an hour before walking out of the cabin.

"Mr. Merkel, when was its first passenger flight?" Guo Qing'er suddenly asked, "I wonder, am I lucky enough to be a passenger on its first passenger flight?"

Merkel looked at Fang Mingyuan. In fact, at this time, Airbus is already preparing to recruit volunteers from the company, partners and major airlines around the world to participate in the first passenger flight of the A380 scheduled for this year. But...

He didn't know whether he should agree to Guo Qing'er's request. Although she was Fang Mingyuan's assistant, Merkel was no stranger to her. He knew that she was the sole heir of the third generation of the Guo family, the majority shareholder of Guo Shipping Group, and

With the current net worth of the Guo family, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is one of the richest girls in the world. It is certainly a good thing that such a "little princess" likes the A380, but participating in the first passenger flight, in theory,

There are indeed risks, so Merkel cannot simply agree directly.

"Then arrange a first-class seat for her!" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile. Although the A380 is a new type of aircraft, its safety record in its previous life was still good. Although there were some minor accidents, there was nothing vicious.

The flight accidents are basically within the controllable range. Moreover, it can be said that airlines around the world are paying attention to the first passenger flight of the A380. It is also a major event related to the future sales of the A380. Airbus is definitely

Being cautious and cautious, ensuring nothing goes wrong, so the probability of an accident is probably lower than the probability of encountering a car accident on the road. Since Guo Qing'er is interested, Fang Mingyuan will naturally not stop her.

"Brother Yuan, please join me too!" Guo Qing'er took Fang Mingyuan's hand and said softly, "The first batch of A380 passengers in the world are so memorable!"

Fang Mingyuan smiled, turned to Merkel and said: "Book me one...three first-class seats first. If we can spare some time, we will take part in this big guy's first passenger flight.

"

"No problem! Don't say three, just thirty!" Merkel laughed, "If you really participate, I will definitely accompany you!" r1152
