"ECAM Hydraulic Yellow System Low Oil, Hydraulic Yellow System Low Pressure."

"What's going on?"

"Don't worry, follow the ECAM instructions to troubleshoot step by step."

“… It’s ok for now.”

"Contact the dispatcher and the district investigators, report the situation, and land first if possible."

"Finally I've landed, Brother Chen, thank you so much."

"Thank you as well. Let's execute the shutdown procedure now."

"Wait, there's no brake pressure on my end."

"Fuck, hit the foot brake, turn on the electric pump, now hurry up!"

"Still moving forward. No, we can't stop at this speed..."

"Don't panic. I'll call to clear the area. Please check that the seat belt lights are not off. Make sure they are on. Announce again."

"Steer left!"

…Bang!

The left door of the A320-200 slowly hit the bridge, but the noise was so loud that his whole body trembled. The J-15's joystick slipped out of his hand, and the world began to spin in front of him. Then his back suddenly shook, it was the huge thrust of the parachute pack ejection...

Zhou Qichen suddenly woke up and realized that it was a dream. He subconsciously wanted to turn over and wake up the people around him, but the bed next to him was empty.

Three days ago, he and Shen Tiantian worked together again. Catching up with friends, which should have been a very relaxing and enjoyable task, was shrouded in a shadow. On the flight from Shenzhen to Beijing, he asked Shen Tiantian to fly. Halfway through the flight, the plane had a small problem, indicating that the hydraulic yellow system had low oil. They followed the troubleshooting instructions of the ECAM and notified the control in time. Everything went smoothly until the landing. After landing, Shen Tiantian suddenly found that the right hydraulic brake had no pressure. They approached the parking position, but they couldn't stop the car and crashed directly into the jet bridge. A big guy with more than 40 tons of passengers can cause a lot of damage even at a speed of more than ten kilometers per hour. Zhou Qichen visually confirmed that there were no other staff on the ground, and at the last minute, he crashed into the jet bridge instead of the parking building. Shen Tiantian also showed a steadiness beyond her age, and used the captain's broadcast to ask all passengers to fasten their seat belts and take protective postures. Most people followed the rules, except for a flight attendant who was performing a mission and fell down after the collision and suffered minor injuries. Everyone else was safe.

But civil aviation safety is no small matter. This happened within a month after he was promoted to captain, which was not a good sign. That night, he and Shen Tiantian stayed at the airport until two in the morning, seeing off the last passenger and the last firefighter. On the way to the parking lot, Shen Tiantian finally couldn't hold back and choked up and said sorry to him.

Zhou Qichen patted her back and said, "Silly girl, what's there to be sorry about? A fault is a fault. Not to mention you, I couldn't have thought of it either, and a captain with more than 20 years of experience might not have thought of it. We did what we should do according to ECAM, and we reported everything in a timely manner. No one could have thought that it would have no pressure at this time. It's too bad. Everyone on the plane and on the ground is fine. You have done a great job."

Having said that, he knew too well what Shen Tiantian was like now. This was called fear. What if there were people on the bridge? What if it really hit the terminal? What if most of the passengers had unbuckled their seat belts? Once he started thinking about it, it was like a flood, and his emotions were completely out of control. Shen Tiantian suppressed her tears, wanting to cry but not daring to cry loudly. Zhou Qichen felt very upset when he saw her like this. He didn't want to leave her alone, so he sent her home first.
