Jiangcheng tower, China Southern Airlines 3721, runway 25L, requesting takeoff. "
Ling Feng put his hand on the throttle push rod and tapped his index finger twice - this was his habit to confirm the thrust setting before taking off. The data on the instrument panel is all green, hydraulic, pneumatic, fuel, and electrical systems are all normal. He scanned it once, without looking at it more, and he didn't need to look at it any more. After flying for eight years, these numbers have long been engraved into muscle memory.
"Wait a minute. "
He took out his cell phone from the left breast pocket of his uniform.
The co-pilot Zhang Hao was checking the checklist. He caught a glimpse of this action from the corner of his eye and was stunned for a moment.
Lingfeng clicked on WeChat and pinned the dialog box to the top. The avatar was an orange cat. Remarks name: Xiaoya.
He typed six words - "Take off, see you on the ground. "
Send. Lock screen. The phone was stuffed back into his pocket. The whole set of movements lasted three seconds, as neatly as pushing the accelerator.
Zhang Hao couldn't hold it back for five seconds.
"Brother Ling, are you... Posting this before every flight? "
Ling Feng didn't look back and had already put his right hand back on the putter.
"Hmm. "
"Then... What if the other party doesn't reply? Are you ready to take off? "
Ling Feng finally turned around and looked at him.
Zhang Hao immediately shut up. It wasn't that he was scared, it was because there was no emotion in his eyes, and they were as flat as a tarmac. If you joke with this kind of person, he won't be angry, but you will feel embarrassed.
"Have you finished reading the checklist? "
"Reading, finished reading. "Zhang Hao quickly brought his attention back and straightened his back, "The checklist is all completed and you can take off. "
The tower command came from the earphone: "South 3721, runway 25L, ready for takeoff, wind direction 250, wind speed 12 knots. "
