Event scene

Yesterday afternoon, there was news on the Internet that a HNA 787 passenger plane had placed a front-chamber emergency slide in the absence of an emergency. However, only one remote stop map was placed on Weibo, and the exact time and place were not indicated. Even so, many aviation Weibos have forwarded the news. For a time, 'Haihang had a big accident' was rumored. “The crew forgot to release the slide pre-position, “a taxi of at least 300,000 in the 787”... But the reporter learned from HNA that the airline is conducting flight training, there are no passengers on board, and the crew is not operating by mistake. It belongs to Oolong.

Event plane landing after the inflatable slide was laid down

Pictures circulating on the Internet show that a plane is parked on an empty tarmac, there is no bridge, and the ladder for passengers to enter and exit has been set up. However, after the front door of the passenger plane was opened, an inflatable emergency slide was put down, and there was no passenger figure on the picture. The 'accident' that was circulated on the Internet belonged to Hainan Airlines, and the slide was put down and the crew was operating incorrectly.

The reporter called Hainan Airlines for this purpose. The relevant person in charge said that the plane shown in the picture is a training machine from Xuzhou to Beijing for training. The training content is carried out in Beijing. The slide is also one of the training processes. . There are no passengers on the plane, so there is no accident.

According to the reporter, the 787 passenger plane number is B2759. It will fly from Beijing to Xuzhou at 7:00 on July 21 and fly back to Beijing Capital Airport from Xuzhou at 1 pm and land at around 15 o'clock.

Interpretation Where is the emergency slide hidden?

Most passengers who have experience in flight know this kind of detail: every time the aircraft closes the hatch, the crew will hear the password of “operation pre-positioning”. Before the plane opens the door, it will hear “slide lift pre-position”. 'The password.' In fact, these two passwords are for the 'untouchable' emergency slide on the plane.

The usual emergency slides are located in the slide bag of each aircraft door, and are divided into two working modes: “pre-position” and “release pre-position”. The flight attendant can operate the slides in different working states by operating the handles on the doors. Each time the hatch is closed, the crew will rotate the handle to the “pre-position” so that the tie rod below the slide pack will lock to the joint under the cabin floor. In the event of an emergency, when the flight attendant opens the hatch, the slide is automatically inflated and lowered by the force of the pull.

Before the plane isopened and the hatch is opened, the flight attendant will rotate the handle again to release the pre-position, so that the slide bag will be separated from the aircraft. When the hatch is opened, the slide will not be released, but it iswell hidden in the slide bag.

Secret How much does it cost to reset the emergency slide?

Before, there were often people in the media who saw 'a passenger accidentally hit the passenger plane to pop up the emergency slide, losing 100,000 yuan' and other news. Why is the value of the inflatable slides that are not so eye-catching? In this regard, relevant industry insiders said that if the accidental release of the slide is not scrapped, as long as it is folded back, stamped, and collected, it can continue to be used. But the slide is easy to put down, and it is not so easy to close up. “Depending on the model, the difficulty of recycling is different. The 737 is relatively easy to recycle in narrow-body aircraft, but the manpower and material resources also need tens of thousands of dollars. The 787 passenger aircraft can only be recovered by Boeing companies. The cost can be imagined.' A machine told reporters.

In the whole loss cost, the cost of the slide is only a small part. In addition, it also includes checking the slide for damage, conducting various reliability tests, calling various equipment, materials, and specialized personnel. The cost is really not cheap.

In addition, if the door slide is accidentally released, the door will be taken out of service. According to safety requirements, the aircraft door corresponds to the number of passengers. Reducing one door means that the aircraft can pull fewer passengers and is an intangible loss to the airline. 'All aspects are counted down. If you mistakenly put a 787 slide, the loss should be more than 180,000.' A flight attendant told reporters.
