Chapter 962 Miraculous Landing
After the plane entered the approach phase, Brooke was obviously nervous.
Because the operation of the aircraft will be more and more complex at this time, even experienced pilots will feel a lot of pressure to complete the entire landing without the help of the automatic system.
Strictly speaking, Xia Ruofei is not a pilot at all. Although in the flight just now, Xia Ruofei's talent made Brook astonished. He had never even touched a simulator, so he had to fly such a giant passenger plane to the ground. This is simply a fantasy.
If it wasn't for the flight just now, if Brook had a little confidence in Xia Ruofei, he might even be desperate now.
Brook was very nervous and kept reminding Xia Ruofei that the plane passed through the clouds under the control of Xia Ruofei, and now you can see the blue sea below.
For Feng Jing sitting behind Xia Ruofei, this feeling may be even more terrifying.
Anyone who has been on a plane may know that when the plane is flying above the clouds, although they clearly know that the white cloud cannot hold the plane, there is still some subconscious feeling of stability psychologically.
After the clouds came out, there was just another endless sea below. Looking down from the sky, the sea seemed to be still, and the blue and blue looked extremely deep, as if it was like a bottomless abyss.
From entering the cockpit to the present, Feng Jing has always clenched her fists tightly, as if this can help Xia Ruofei exert her strength.
Her state of mind has also changed from being uneasy when she was in the first class cabin, and now it has gradually become calm. She thinks that everything may be the arrangement of fate. If she really wants to return to the sea here, at least she is still with Xia Ruofei, the two of them. It was also a great consolation for her that her final moments were so close.
From Feng Jing's seat, she had to lean out slightly to see Xia Ruofei's profile.
She kept this pose the whole time.
Xia Ruofei looked very focused when he was flying the plane. Xia Ruofei, who had no distractions, was like a magnet, attracting Feng Jing's eyes firmly to him.
And his resolute profile seemed to give Feng Jing a great sense of security.
"Xia, make another turn ahead and you'll be on the fifth side of the airport," Brook said, "Let's lower the landing gear first!"
"Okay!" Xia Ruofei said calmly, and then leaned over to pull down the landing gear lever.
After a while, the three green lights of the landing gear turned on, and Brooke breathed a sigh of relief. If there was another problem with the landing gear, it would really be a rainy night.
"Xia, let's implement the landing checklist!" Brooke said.
"ok!" Xia Ruofei said to Brook.
Brooke leaned over and tried it. The pain in his arm made him groan uncontrollably. He frowned, thought about it, and said, "Lady, please come over and take out this clip in front of me."
Originally, the landing checklist for the 35o aircraft was carried out item by item on the flight computer. If one item is not confirmed, it will be checked. However, many functions of the flight computer are now out of date. Fortunately, they also have paper checklists backed up. Just in front of the pilot in a folder.
The folder was inserted in a gap, so it wasn't sucked out of the plane by the previous high airflow.
Now the flight altitude is much lower, the noise in the cabin is not so loud, and everyone can communicate normally if the voice is louder.
Feng Jing nodded and said, "Please wait a moment!"
She unbuckled her seat belt and stood up and walked over to Brooke's side.
The windshield over there has disappeared, leaving a big hole, so Xia Ruofei couldn't help reminding: "Sister Jing, pay attention to safety!"
Feng Jing smiled at Xia Ruofei and said, "Don't worry!"
With one hand on the back of Brooke's seat, she leaned forward and pulled out the folder with the other.
"Lady, please turn to the landing checklist and read it out item by item, let me check it!" Brooke said.
Originally, the landing checklist required two pilots to cross-confirm, but now it can only be urgent. Of course, Brook will naturally be more careful.
"Ok!" As an elite returnee, Feng Jing's English is naturally no problem. She quickly turned to the page of the landing checklist and began to cooperate with Brook to implement the checklist.
After the checklist was completed, Brooke said, "Thank you very much, ma'am, now please take your seat and fasten your seat belt!"
"OK!"
After Feng Jing took the seat behind Xia Ruofei, Brook said: "Xia, let me tell you about the Saipan Airport! Saipan is located in the Northern Mariana Islands, between the Pacific Ocean and the Philippine Sea, with a subtropical marine climate. , The rainfall is very abundant. According to my experience, Saipan often has a short-term, small-scale rain with high intensity. Because of the small range, it is difficult for aircraft radar to observe it, and sometimes even the tower is difficult to use with the naked eye. Observed, so it will cause some trouble to the flight!"
Xia Ruofei nodded while concentrating on controlling the plane.
Brook continued: "If there is such a sudden and heavy rainfall that makes it impossible to see the runway, we must resolutely go around. After all, your flying experience, after all, you have never controlled the plane to land!"
Speaking of this, Brooke had a very strange feeling in his heart.
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Understood!"
"Also, there is only one runway at Saipan Airport for jumbo jets to land," Brook said. "We're going to land in the reverse direction, runway 25, which is 2,652 meters long. For the Airbus 35o , belongs to the short runway, so"
Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "So the landing must be decisive, and the touchdown point should be as far forward as possible. If the plane floats and misses the touchdown point, you must resolutely push the throttle to the toga position to go around! I remember what you just said!"
Brook nodded and said, "Don't be nervous during the operation, I will guide you all the way!"
Speaking of which, Brooke glanced at the instrument and said, "It's higher than the glide path! Reduce the thrust a little bit."
The glide path refers to the flight path of the aircraft relative to the ground when the aircraft is approaching 6. The closer the aircraft is to the runway, the lower the altitude is. This trajectory is the glide path. As an experienced captain, Brooke can quickly judge the state of the aircraft at the moment even without the assistance of electronic equipment.
Xia Ruofei immediately made corresponding adjustments.
The altitude of the plane is getting lower and lower. At this time, the voice of the tower also came from the earphone: "qf1o8, runway 25 can be landed, and the fire trucks and ambulances are all in place!"
"qf1o8 received." Brooke said, "Once the landing is not smooth, we hope to maintain the heading and directly pull up the altitude to go around!"
"qf1o8, agree! Go-around height is 3ooo feet!" The tower immediately resumed.
"Understood, go-around altitude 3ooo feet, qf1o8!" Brooke said.
After the last call with the tower, Brook turned to look at Xia Ruofei and said, "Xia, relax a little bit, it's like playing a flight simulation game!"
Xia Ruofei was actually not nervous at all at this time, because he had already focused all his attention on the control of the plane.
After the altitude is lowered, the airflow becomes more turbulent, which causes a lot of trouble for the manual control of the aircraft.
Xia Ruofei must correct the attitude of the plane at any time.
Of course, manual operation from the very beginning also has an advantage, that is, after more than an hour of actual combat practice, Xia Ruofei now has some feeling about the control of the aircraft, which will undoubtedly be more complicated for the next landing operation. is helpful.
Due to the hole in the cockpit, the sound of the engine was louder than usual, and Brooke's breathing became heavier and heavier, and he was quite nervous.
"I can see the runway!" Brooke shouted, looking ahead, "Xia, the plane is in a good attitude now, keep it up! Remember, after entering the runway, pull the lever back slightly to make the plane establish a 6-shape!"
"Okay!" Xia Ruofei said.
His left hand gripped the joystick, making constant fine-tuning, and his right was on the throttle.
While observing the situation outside the cabin, Brook also looked at the flight instruments from time to time, constantly reminding Xia Ruo.
"It's too big, lower the thrust a little bit!"
"The course is to the left, adjust a little"
"Too many adjustments, don't move too much!"
As the altitude continues to decrease, the requirements for precision in aircraft control are also higher. Rao is Xia Ruofei's learning ability is far from ordinary people, and now it feels more difficult.
The plane is like a naughty child. It is suddenly left and right, fast and slow, just like a drunken man. The runway in front of him is sometimes left and right in the field of vision.
Brook sighed in his heart, and said secretly, "This is definitely not possible!"
He quickly calculated the amount of fuel, and then said to Xia Ruofei: "Xia, let's not rush to the ground for the first time. You follow the 6 procedure I taught you just now and simulate it at a height of about 300 feet. Control the plane to the runway!"
At this moment, Xia Ruofei had dense beads of sweat on his forehead. He nodded and said, "Alright, but now I'm not sure."
Brook nodded, and immediately said to the tower: "qf1o8, apply for a low-altitude pass once!"
The tower also understood the current situation on the plane, and immediately replied: "Agree!"
6oo feet.
5oo feet.
4oo feet.
The altitude of the plane is getting lower and lower, and the speed is also slowly dropping.
However, Xia Ruofei has never been able to control it easily. With the same range of operation, the closer the plane is to the runway, the greater the deviation of the plane. He kept adjusting and adjusting, and finally deviates from the runway.
Brooke said, "Okay, let's say the runway is directly below now, and there are 5o feet! Forty feet! Thirty feet! Start pulling the bar slightly and reduce the thrust!"
Xia Ruofei operated according to Brooke's instructions, and the nose of the plane slowly rose, showing a 6 attitude.
This unconventional operation, Brook did not dare to take too much risk, and immediately said after achieving the effect: "Now increase the thrust and pull up the height! Let's go around!"
In fact, the plane has already deviated from the runway by more than ten or twenty meters. At this height, there is only one option for go-around.
Xia Ruofei executed Brooke's instructions without hesitation. The plane made a loud whistling sound at a height of more than 300 feet above a taxiway next to the runway, and the nose raised and began to climb to the height.
The staff in the control tower looked at the giant passenger plane that was close at hand and took off again, and they couldn't help showing a worried look. This situation is unprecedented in the history of world aviation. Can they really succeed?
In the cabin, Brooke became more optimistic.
Judging from the operation just now, Xia Ruofei has a good grasp of the essentials of the movements. As long as the alignment of the runway is done, it is still possible to land successfully.
"Positive rate of ascent! Gear up!" Brooke cried.
He can't do anything at all now, he can only command Xia Ruofei with his mouth.
Xia Ruofei leaned over to retract the landing gear, and the plane's altitude continued to rise amid the rustling sound of the motor.
1ooo ft.
15oo feet.
"Tower, we are starting to turn to the other side now!" Brooke said, "The application landed again from the original direction!"
"agree!"
"Xia, make a right-angle turn!" Brooke said.
"Understood!" Xia Ruofei said.
He now has a lot of experience in steering the aircraft in the air, and the aircraft quickly banked steadily to the right, drawing a beautiful arc in the air.
The three-sided and four-sided aircraft fly parallel to the three sides of the runway. After reaching a sufficient distance, they turn to the four sides, and then make a right-angle turn, cross a standard rectangular track in the air, and enter the fifth direction of the runway extension line. side.
"We're starting 6 again!" Brooke said.
It is strange to say that after the unsuccessful attempt just now, Xia Ruofei seems to have improved his skills again, and he seems to be more handy in the process of controlling the plane to descend.
Of course, this also depends on his mental strength and the big heart trained in the special commando.
Soon, the aircraft began to establish a glide path again, slowly lowering the altitude.
After a while, the runway just now appeared in the field of vision again.
Even Brooke didn't notice that during this attempt, the number of times he made reminders and corrections had significantly decreased.
The altitude of the aircraft continued to drop. During this process, the landing gear was lowered and the flaps were in place. The papi lights in front of them were red and white, indicating that the current glide path is very standard.
Brook looked at the runway that the plane was facing, and kept thinking in his heart: "Steady! Hold on!"
At this time, in addition to monitoring the plane's speed and altitude, he has no way to remind Xia Ruofei, because it is too late. When he reminds Xia Ruofei, and Xia Ruofei reacts to the operation, the plane may have already drifted by more than ten or twenty meters. .
So now it can only be controlled by Xia Ruofei's feeling.
"Come on!" Feng Jing also clenched her fists and cried secretly.
Xia Ruofei has almost entered a state of ecstasy at this time, completely eliminating all distractions, as if the cockpit with the wind whistling has become very quiet.
His left hand is adjusting the attitude of the aircraft entirely by feeling. It may be adjusted more than a dozen times in a few seconds. Sometimes the aircraft has not deviates, it may just be a trend, and Xia Ruofei has adjusted it immediately.
Therefore, the whole process of the plane seems to be very stable towards the direction of the runway, but in fact, Xia Ruofei's very small but extremely accurate corrections can achieve such an effect.
Brooke was so nervous he was holding his breath that he even forgot the pain in his arm.
Feng Jing also unconsciously gripped the armrest of the seat tightly, her knuckles turning white.
The plane entered the runway steadily, and Brooke just wanted to remind him that Xia Ruofei had already made a lever operation in advance.
The huge Airbus a35o aircraft began to show a slightly upward nose, and at the same time, because the lift was less than gravity, it slowly fell to the runway.
laugh
The moment the plane touched down, it began to tremble violently.
If other co-pilots were controlling the plane, Brook would definitely have yelled at him. This is definitely an important 6! But now the plane is controlled by a rookie who has never driven an plane! To be able to do this is simply a gift from God!
"The lower plate is raised! The accelerator is bottomed! Turn on the reverse thrust!" Brooke reminded nervously.
In fact, Xia Ruofei had already minimized the accelerator at the moment of the grounding. After hearing Brooke's reminder, he quickly pulled up the reverse thrust.
At the same time, Xia Ruofei also pushed the joystick forward very carefully and slowly, so that the nose fell smoothly, and the front landing gear also landed on the runway.
The plane was taxiing high on the runway, but under the action of thrust reversers and plate reductions, the speed was rapidly decreasing.
Although the plane hadn't stopped, thunderous applause had already been heard from the cabin behind him.
Feng Jing, who was sitting behind Xia Ruofei, burst into tears.
