Chapter 441 Professional Operator
"Teacher, do you plan to pass through?"
Dai Mengmin could tell at a glance what Li Zhan was going to do, and he had to say that this was the best and only way.
But Dai Mengmin clearly saw that the only working right engine of Li Zhan's plane was emitting unusual smoke. The smoke was black, and it was very likely that the engine oil was burning - the lubricating oil leaked and mixed into the aviation oil, causing combustion.
"Teacher! Your right hair is blowing out black smoke! It's very possible that the engine oil has been burned!" Dai Mengmin warned in a hurried tone.
Li Zhan had already entered the state of preparing to penetrate the hole. He found that there was still a discrepancy between the fighter plane's heading and the cave, so he kept trying to adjust the direction of the plane's nose.
Hearing Dai Mengmin's reminder at this time, he glanced at the tachometer of the right engine. The data on it was normal, and there was no fire alarm. But he believed Dai Mengmin's judgment, but at this time Li Zhan had no time to care about the engine's condition— —As long as the right engine can still provide power.
The worst plan is to fall on the west side of the cave. There are no tourists in the primitive area, and the impact on the scenic spot will be minimal. In fact, crashing a plane is also a technical activity. When you can control how and where you crash, there are also relevant regulations on where you should choose to abandon the plane. It is not only necessary to avoid the impact on people's lives and property, but also to facilitate subsequent search and rescue processing. Therefore, there are certain requirements for the location of the abandoned aircraft.
Of course, there is not so much time to pay attention to it in an emergency, and there is no time to pay attention to it. The sacrifices of pilots in previous crashes were almost always related to protecting people's lives and property from harm. Each time, pilots were in a situation where they had to make a choice between two options without enough reaction time.
At this time, Li Zhan was at least confident that the abandonment of the plane would not affect the safety of people's property, but he still hoped to fly the plane back. He could roughly feel the condition of the fighter plane. Although the condition was very bad, it was not yet time to give up. At least the fighter plane still had power and at least its attitude could be fine-tuned, although it was difficult.
Compared to the first time he encountered a dangerous situation when he hit a bird, the current situation was much more, at least it was still high.
Li Zhan said, "The power of the right engine is normal. I will go through it first. Please pay attention to whether there is an open flame."
"No open flames have been found yet, but the black smoke is quite serious." Dai Mengmin said.
Li Zhan temporarily put down the condition of his right hair and stared at the Tianmen Cave that was getting closer and closer ahead. The error still existed, but Li Zhan felt more and more that the nose of the fighter plane was becoming slower and slower. With every control he made, the feedback range of the fighter plane became smaller and smaller, which meant that the fighter plane was running wildly away from control.
There are still more than ten kilometers away from Zhongnan Station. Judging from the current speed, it is the last tremor. Unless the right engine stops, we must try our best to drive the plane back. Li Zhan knew that although the plane looked miserable on the outside, it could still be fully restored after repairs, at least there was no irreversible damage.
An aircraft costing hundreds of millions of dollars must not be given up easily. Moreover, this is a new aircraft that has not been in service for a long time.
Seeing that the abalone-shaped hole was right in front, and there was an angle difference of about ten degrees between the nose and the hole, Li Zhan became a little anxious. He felt cruel, gritted his teeth and used rough movements - stomping the rudder hard and hard. Joystick. The force was so great that the fighter plane became unstable!
A miracle happened. The aircraft nose slowly pointed towards the abalone-shaped cave according to his will. At this time, Li Zhan felt relieved. He gritted his teeth and plunged into the hole fiercely, and emerged from the other side of the hole in an instant.
Dai Mengmin saw Li Zhan pass through the hole with incomparable accuracy. He hesitated a little while following closely behind him. He originally planned to fly high and flew over the cave. He gritted his teeth and flew over the cave. The moment he walked through the cave, he felt a strong surge of adrenaline. The hearty feeling actually made people feel numb.
The scene of two fighter planes passing through Tianmen Cave one after another was clearly seen by the tourists on the observation deck. Countless cameras captured this exciting scene, and the way the fighter plane in front was dragging black smoke was unsettling. A few tourists thought it was a deliberately created special effect. After all, air shows that everyone often sees smoke.
In just a moment, Li Zhan saw the highly recognizable runway of Zhongnan Station - there were cliffs in front and behind. He can neither touch the ground too early to miss the runway, nor too late to slide off the runway. It boils down to a problem of descent rate and landing speed.
He thought there would be no problem with the speed. Only the right engine was working, and the thrust itself was greatly reduced. It couldn't go faster, but it could definitely slow down easily.
So the focus is on the rate of decline.
When most of the flaps were disabled, it was difficult for the aircraft to ascend and descend. Li Zhan had no choice but to raise the speed brake on his back in advance. The speed brake on the back can not only slow down the aircraft, but also provide downward pressure to lower the fighter aircraft.
However, just when Li Zhan maintained tense communication with the Zhongnan Field Station tower and entered the landing route in an abnormal attitude, what he thought was the most unlikely situation happened.
The thrust of the right engine suddenly increased greatly!
The afterburner device actually turned on automatically!
The right engine tachometer needle soared!
"Hey, hey, what's going on! The afterburner turned on by itself! The thrust is out of control! The thrust is out of control!" Li Zhan was really nervous. He was falling, and the throttle lever was placed at the half-throttle position, waiting to pull back to idle after touching the ground. .
The right hair actually stood up when it shouldn't, just like Hui Guang Hui Shining!
Engine failure is nothing more than abnormal power attenuation, mid-air engine shutdown, abnormal increase in thrust and turning on afterburner on its own, which has never happened before. This situation may never have occurred in the history of world aviation.
The personnel on duty at the Zhongnan Station have never seen such a formation before. They have not even taken over a few backup landings throughout the year, and the tower command ability is far inferior to that of a first-class station.
They were all confused.
At this time, it was about 20 meters away from the runway. Li Zhan immediately released the double parachute. The fighter plane was suddenly pulled violently, and the nose of the aircraft tended to rise. Li Zhan quickly pressed the stick to control it, and another sudden change occurred. The right engine It stalls instantly and loses a lot of thrust instantly.
As a result, the fighter plane's front landing gear was tilted up as if it was reining in a cliff, and then its rear landing gear was sitting on the runway. The fighter plane jolted violently and almost knocked Li Zhan out of the cockpit. The fighter plane kept its posture of reining in the cliff and ran forward along the runway for a certain distance before the nose fell heavily and the nose landing gear hit the runway.
Just when everyone was about to let go of their excited hearts, the fighter plane still ran towards the end of the runway without hesitation, and the end of the runway was deep in the cliff.
The commander on duty lamented: "The landing speed was too fast..."
Li Zhan could clearly see the hanging space at the end of the runway, and he also saw the blocking net pulled up at the end, but he knew that the effect of the blocking net was very limited. Most Air Force sites have eliminated the use of arresting nets as auxiliary ditching facilities.
He stepped on the tire brakes, and the smoke produced by the friction between the landing gear tires and the runway surface rolled backwards. After a while, the ultra-high heat and wear-resistant tires melted away, and then sparks of love were created between the wheels and the runway surface.
"I'm a professional pole operator, stop it now!"
The fighter plane stopped, having skidded off the runway and crashed onto the grass at the end. The nose of the plane was partially suspended in the air, and the hub of the nose landing gear was still rotating in the air.
Li Zhan was breaking out in a cold sweat. Just a second ago, when he realized that the fighter plane was about to rush out of the runway, his hand had already touched the ejection lever, and he was almost ready to pull the ejection lever. In the end, he chose to give it a try. He took a step back and said that if the fighter plane rushed down the cliff, there would still be a chance of ejection. At worst, he could parachute to the bottom of the cliff to experience survival in the wild.
God was very generous and allowed him to stop before falling into the abyss.
Dai Mengmin, who was hovering in the air, was scared to death. When he saw Li Zhan's plane rushing towards the end of the runway at an unabated speed, his heart was in his throat. After the fighter plane was less than half in the air, it stopped and stabilized completely. He felt like he was going to have a heart attack.
The only two professional fire trucks at Zhongnan Station that had been in service for more than ten years rushed towards the cliff, and the remaining few rescue vehicles modified from old trucks roared past. The tower commander had solid experience. He urgently mobilized a heavy-duty truck and drove it to the rear of the fighter plane and stopped sideways. He then used a cable to hold the rear landing gear of the fighter plane, and another one helped on the heavy truck to prevent the fighter plane from falling. Sliding off a cliff. To ensure nothing went wrong, he quickly thought of ways to pile heavy objects on the heavy truck to increase its gravity.
When Li Zhan opened the canopy, the staircase truck also came over, but the front half of the fuselage was suspended in the air and the boarding ladder was useless. The on-site commander thought of a way to use a crane to lift Li Zhan out, and rescue the person first before handling the fighter plane.
After more than half an hour of rescue, Li Zhan was lifted out by a small crane with a thick hemp rope. After his feet stepped on the solid ground, he let out a heavy breath and directly intervened in the on-site rescue of the fighter jet. Take action.
It is not easy to escape the fighter plane.
There are at least two or three tons of aviation fuel in the plane. The heavy fighter plane weighing more than 20 tons is stuck on the edge of the cliff. An ordinary tractor cannot pull it out, and if a crane is used, a heavy-duty crane is also required. These equipments are not available at Zhongnan Station and must be transferred from other places.
In view of this, Li Zhan had no choice but to give up and go down the mountain to the infield to rest and wait for people from Guibei Station under the arrangements of the station. Obviously, the follow-up training was in vain. Until the accident investigation is clear, Li Zhan will no longer be able to fly, let alone continue to be responsible for teaching. Fortunately, most of the teaching and training work has been completed, and the subsequent actual flight training will not have a big impact without Li Zhan's guidance.
He felt more and more that he was at odds with the Second Division. There was only one first-class danger in Beiku, and that time was caused by external subjective factors. A first-class danger that was really caused by objective factors had never happened before. .
Throughout his dangerous career, most of them occurred while working in the Second Division. This fully shows that the second division is not suitable for him, or that he is not suitable for the second division. The most incredible thing is that they are strikingly similar in terms of time.
I remember that it was the end of the year when he left the army, and he was in danger within a few days. It is also the end of the year now, and the time is almost the same. This is difficult to explain by the incompatibility of the eight characters.
That night, after the heavy machinery was in place, rescue work was carried out overnight, and the No. 27 J-11B was pulled back from the cliff and directly dragged into the only hangar outside the Zhongnan Station. The next day, a joint technical investigation team composed of technical personnel from relevant departments of the army and technical personnel from the manufacturer was in place and directly launched investigation and research work at the Zhongnan Station.
On this day, Li Zhan was taken back to Guibei Chang Station, and the flight parameter interpretation analysis and eyewitness investigation were fully launched.
Dai Mengmin's plane provided the most complete video information. He had been following Li Zhan at close range and his position was above and behind Li Zhan at the moment he hit the bird. The camera mounted on his helmet captured the entire process. Analyzing the flight parameter data of No. 27 J-11B can easily lead to clear facts, and the results shocked investigators in the military region.
They suddenly discovered that Li Zhan actually bumped into him on his own initiative, and Li Zhan did this to save Dai Mengmin. It is clear from the video that if Li Zhan had not rushed forward, then Dai Mengmin was the one who hit the bird. Judging from the situation at the time, Dai Mengmin had no time to escape the bird attack.
During the investigation, Li Zhan isolated himself. He did not go back to live in the house in the family compound in the scenic spot. He stayed directly in a small guest house outside and could be questioned by the investigation team at any time. It was very special Cooperate. Of course, some people think it's because of the beautiful young female military doctor with long breasts and thighs in the aviation hospital. Because what he experienced was a special danger, the army attached great importance to the physical and mental health of the pilots. The young and beautiful female military doctor in charge had to go to Li Zhan's room every day to give him therapy and physical examinations every three to five. Ensure that the meritorious pilots in the Second Division do not suffer from physical or mental problems.
Li Zhan was more unjustly accused. He didn't even pay attention to what the young and beautiful female military doctor with long breasts and thighs looked like. Instead, he called Dai Mengmin over as soon as he could meet with the relevant personnel.
As a result, Tang Guozheng personally brought Dai Mengmin here.
Li Zhan poured water for them and said, "Old commander, the training in the training class cannot be stopped for too long. I don't think we will be able to fly again in a short time. The training plan needs to be adjusted as soon as possible."
"The division has decided to postpone the completion of the training class until you resume flying." Tang Guozheng said.
Li Zhan said, "But I can't stay here for a long time. There will be an Air Force competition in half a month. I have to go back as soon as possible to get targeted training. You know this."
"Then come back after your competition is over." Tang Guozheng said.
Li Zhan smiled helplessly and said, "Old commander, I received a notice yesterday that my J-16 has been repaired, and a practical test flight of this aircraft will be carried out immediately after the competition. Yes, it will be in the West I’ve been stationed at the county station for training for a while, but obviously I don’t have time to be your instructor.”
Tang Guozheng asked simply, "What do you think we should do?"
"Deputy Commander Dai can be a teacher." Li Zhan pointed at Dai Mengmin.
Dai Mengmin was obviously stunned for a moment. He looked at Li Zhan at this time with the eyes of his benefactor. Either Li Zhan took the initiative to greet the birds and hit them, or he was the one.
"I?"
