Chapter 1269： Field trips

(Limited exemption, think about it again and again, or update it normally, there are not many conscientious authors like me, ask for a monthly pass for comfort~)

The eastward voyage of Runway 13 was not aided by instrument navigation systems in the early years.

When the pilot was landing, when the plane reached the checkered mountain in Jiulongzai, he had to visually control the plane to turn right by 47°, aiming at the runway extending into the harbor and landing.

Checkered Mountain is on a small hill near Jiulongzai Park, painted in red and white, with lights at night to remind pilots to turn.

When the aircraft turned here, the altitude was less than 300 meters, and it was only 2.6 kilometers away from the landing point. If the harbour is blowing with strong northeasterly winds, the aircraft will have to land with a crosswind. When the typhoon hits Hong Kong, the intensity of the wind blowing inside the harbor is not strong. Stable gusts make it more difficult to descend. Moreover, the runway is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and the left side is very close to the taxiway. Although the side close to it is land, it is full of buildings not far away. It can be said that there is only one chance of descending, failure and loss. It is the life of a robot.

Moreover, the danger and pressure faced by landing are not only the pilot’s responsibility, but also the passengers on the plane, especially the passengers sitting on the right side of the cabin near the window. You must know that looking from the inside of the plane to the outside, the plane will be shocked when landing. It's the same as flying the wrong course.

It can be felt that the distance between the aircraft and the ground is getting closer. The crowded streets, multi-storey buildings and pedestrians on the ground in Sham Shui Po and Mong Kok are clearly visible, but no runway is seen ahead.

Later, the buildings on both sides seemed to be about to hit the wing of the aircraft, and sometimes the TV screens in the residential houses or the color of the clothes drying on the roof could be clearly seen.

At this time, the aircraft was turning over Kowloon City, and the runway appeared ahead. A few seconds later, the landing gear had touched the land and the aircraft had landed on the runway in the center of the harbor.

For the residents of Kowloon City living under the waterway, there was a popular exaggeration saying that as long as you hold the clothes drying bamboo on the upper floors of the building, you can sweep the plane down. This is not an exaggeration.

Landing is so difficult, on the other hand, the plane taking off from Runway 31 towards Kowloon City is also a spectacle.

When the plane taxied in the direction of Lei Yue Mun to the end of the runway to make a U-turn and prepare to take off, the pilot saw only thousands of high-rise buildings in front of him and the 400-meter-high Lion Rock and Beacon Mountain.

When the plane just took off, the pilot had to steer the newly climbed plane to fly west to avoid hitting the mountain.

Because Runway 31 is restricted by buildings in Kowloon City, the actual taxiing distance is shorter than that of Runway 13, and the requirements for the aircraft's take-off climb rate are also higher.

Therefore, if an aircraft that was originally scheduled to take off from Runway 13, loaded with passengers, cargo and fuel, and reached the maximum take-off weight, if the wind direction changes before taking off and needs to switch to Runway 31, it will need to return to the berth and unload the aircraft. Cargo to maintain a high climb.

In any case, the legend of Kai Tak Airport has become a thing of the past. Since the closure of Kai Tak Airport, the building height restrictions that were originally set to ensure the safety of the airport’s waterways have been officially revoked. Building heights in Kowloon are no longer restricted. Standing at the former site of Kai Tak Airport, looking in the direction of the previous planes taking off, the eyes were full of high-rise buildings. The approach passages for planes were no longer visible.

At this time, Yang Cheng retracted his thoughts and listened to Ouyang Hui said, "Regarding the planning and utilization of the original site of Kai Tak Airport, the Special Zone ZF is extremely cautious. Hearings have been held many times to listen to public opinion, and the plan has been revised several times.

Finally, in order to retain the symbolic significance of Kai Tak Airport as a transportation hub in Hong Kong and make full use of the original regional characteristics, the Special Zone ZF decided to spend HK$8.2 billion to build a new cruise terminal at the end of the former runway site of Kai Tak Airport. It is the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal we just saw.

The construction of the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal and its first berth started in May 2010 and was completed in June 2013.

The new Kai Tak Cruise Terminal can accommodate two super cruise ships with a displacement of 220,000 tons at the same time, and can also berth any large cruise ship in the world. "

Yang Cheng looked back at the direction of the wharf. The berth was still empty now, but it is not difficult to imagine what a prosperous scene will be when the cruise ship arrives in Hong Kong.

"The former airport has been transformed into a luxury cruise terminal, and together with the marine terminal in Tsim Sha Tsui Harbour City, it has become a part of the Hong Kong cruise hub.

Coupled with the breathtaking scenery of Victoria Harbour, this plan is really successful. Now Kai Tak Cruise Terminal has become one of the landmarks of Hong Kong, right? "

Ouyang Hui said while chatting, "Yes, and it also ended the embarrassing history of Xiangjiang's inability to park the world's giant cruise ship.

The park where we are now is the end of Runway 13 of the original Kai Tak Airport. This is an aviation theme park named Kai Tak Runway Park. Qiqi novels are published on the whole network

The entire park covers an area of ​​8.54 hectares, and is connected to the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal, offering a panoramic view of Victoria Harbour, Lei Yue Mun and Kwun Tong.

The park incorporates the design features of aviation elements. The yellow and black checkerboard markings at the front of the airport’s original runway and the runway number "13" have been deliberately retained Yang Orange nodded, "Our target plot where?"

The group has already stepped on the "No. 13" checkerboard mark, and Ouyang Huiyao pointed to the opposite direction, "Over there, next to Prince Edward Road, it used to be the hangar and runway buffer zone of Kai Tak Airport."

Yang Cheng saw the enclosure and nodded slightly, "What is your plan for these two pieces of land?"

"Super high-rise residential area and a commercial plaza~"

Yang Cheng squeezed his chin and said, "The future residential area is completed, Victoria Harbour is at your feet, and you can go out to the convenient commercial plaza, and there are parks for leisure. If the house price is cheaper, I will be the first to not agree~" Qi Odd novel first published on the whole network

The employees behind them laughed in cooperation, and Ouyang Hui also looked forward to the future, and smiled, "Yes, once the plan comes out, the house buyer will probably be crazy about it~"

Wandering in the slow sea breeze, the salty taste smelled of happiness.

"Then make every effort to prepare. I believe that no matter how much money we spend to take down this piece of land, we can double it back in the future."

"Boss, next week's first round of bidding is entirely to spend money to buy admission cards to eliminate companies with poor qualifications. The real first round of bidding will not be held until mid-May."

"I know, but I still don't worry~" Yang Cheng was actually waiting for the length and sincerity there.

Waved to make the others step back, Yang Cheng said to Ouyang Hui alone, "I have reached an agreement with Changhe, and they will try their best to help us take the two lands."

Ouyang Hui's eyes flashed, "If so, our chances will be greatly increased~"

"Hope, if it's not unexpected~" Yang Cheng didn't dare to say something dead, mainly because Li Chaoren was too shrewd, who knows if they will come up with Yaozi.

"Then our plan should be changed?"

"What was your plan from the beginning?"
