There is a "air bridge" between Huahu Airport and Tianhe Airport

After the Ezhou Huahu Airport was put into use, Hubei also "flew" into the dual hub era. How to command the off -landing and landing of Huahu Airport, and how to ensure that flights with Tianhe Airport flights are not interfered with each other? Recently, the reporter walked into the "strongest brain" of the Civil Aviation Hubei Air Management Branch -Wuhan terminal control center to find the answer.

Size "approach" relay command

Huahu Airport aircraft entering the field

In my country, the control airspace of civil aviation is divided into tower control areas, close control areas and regional control areas. Among them, the transition between as a tower control and regional control is extremely important.

For Tianhe Airport, the approach control zone refers to the vertical airspace between 6000 meters (inclusive) over the airport. The climbing or decline of the passenger plane entered the departure stage was completed here.

Xie Shengping, the director of the Casting of the Civil Aviation Hubei Air Management Branch, further explained: "The main responsibility of close control is to guide the aircraft 'queuing'. Guide the aircraft out of the port to the main airway, and line up the aircraft entry into Hong Kong. Quasible runway. For passengers, it is about ten minutes after taking off and ten minutes before landing. "

He said that it was like the car needs to enter the ramp before driving on the highway, and then gradually guided to the highway. The traffic command in charge of this area is the Wuhan terminal control center.

The Wuhan terminal control center, which was put in May 2021, is currently under the jurisdiction of about 110,000 square kilometers. Nearly controlling service.

Xie Shengping revealed that Wuhan terminal is a "big advance". There is also a "small advance" in Huahu Airport in Ezhou. Small advance "in command.

Ezhou Huahu Airport is positioned as the passenger transport branch airport and freight hub airport. After the airport is opened, it will mainly meet the passenger needs during the day. At night, the main cargo airline will be concentrated at 11 o'clock at night to 4 am the next day.

Xie Shengping believes that the airspace is so large, the aircraft is more, and the airspace resources are becoming more and more complex, which undoubtedly increases technological difficulties. Uniformly handed over to the terminal deployment, which can avoid the conflict between flights between flights and better improve the airspace capacity, utilization rate and flight efficiency.

The reporter saw at the scene that more than a dozen controller did not relax at a moment, staring at the monitor, calmly, serious, and capable of issuing different instructions in Chinese and English to direct the aircraft to adjust the height, direction, and speed. In front of them, there are various screens of different sizes, showing information such as route maps and meteorological radars.

They play the role of "traffic police". The passengers could not see them along the way while flying, and the pilot only accepted the instructions through radio. On the other hand, the controllers of different seats are staring at each flight throughout the process. It can be said that passengers have never left the eyes of the controller and always have a pair of eyes watching.

Create "Bridge in the Air"

Make sure the two airports have no conflict

Wuhan Tianhe Airport and Ezhou Huahu Airport are only 89 kilometers apart. Will the flights between the two places affect each other?

In a list of preparations from the Civil Aviation Hubei Air Management Branch, it can be seen that starting from June 5, 2020, the Hubei Air Management Branch has begun training for the first batch of trainees of Huahu Airport in Ezhou. Xie Shengping said that preparations began as early as 2018, and airports from the two places kept in -depth contact.

Wuhan Tianhe Airport and Ezhou Huahu Airport are not the same. Tianhe Airport is dominated by passenger transport. The operation is characterized by a large number of flights during the day and a small flight volume at night. The Huahu Airport is the opposite. It is mainly cargo. In progress.

Huang Yufeng, the head teacher of the closer control room, pointed to the data on the display and told reporters that there are currently two means to deploy flights between the two places. One is based on the height difference between the airports of the two places. The airport is set to a high level. By setting up the "Air Bridge" to ensure the safe operation of the two airports without conflict. The other is a horizontal plan. By planning two airports to leave the field, the horizontal distance between flights is guaranteed. Huang Yufeng said that the process of approaching the control process is a dynamic process. The aircraft is running in the air. Due to the factors such as weather and runway conditions, there will be some special circumstances.

For example, if he encounters bad weather, a large number of flights of Huahu Airport will be accumulated to the day the next day. What should I do? "Peak to fill the valley, that is, traffic control is required. Through the coordinated planning of the controller, the flight flow is balanced."

28 managers complete the training

Ready for sailing

After a period of high -intensity work, the controller's throat was a little hoarse, and he could finally drink saliva, and then handed over work. 2 hours is the upper limit of the radar controller. You must rest at a point. After 2 hours, you can change the class to ensure that you always maintain a full working state within 24 hours of duty. Huang Yufeng said that after the opening of Huahu Airport, the control staff will continue to increase, and the frequency of night shifts will increase.

In 2022, the Civil Aviation Hubei Air Management Branch recruited 54 newly recruited air management professionals, and the personnel increased by doubled compared with the same period of previous years. The relevant person in charge of the Hubei Air Management Branch said that this is also a full use of its own business advantages, helping the construction of Ezhou Airport, sharing safety management experience, and continuously providing the needs of business guidance and technical support for Ezhou Airport.

It is understood that the air management talents of Huahu Airport Ezhou Huahu Airport have been trained at the Civil Aviation Hubei Air Management Branch. In the past three years, the Civil Aviation Hubei Air Management Branch has completed the training of 28 management controller for Ezhou Huahu Airport.Help students get the license and complete the qualification preparations of the air management personnel before sailing.Zhang Wenzhong, an air management student from Huahu Airport in Ezhou, has previously conducted more than a year of training at the Hubei Air Management Branch of Civil Aviation. He just got the last air traffic control license in April, and then invested in the re -training before sailing.EssenceHe said: "I have been prepared. Under the leadership of the old manager, I have the confidence to ensure the safety of the flight after the opening of the Ezhou Airport."
