Airport Meow

Chapter 344 Horror in the Air 52

Pang Lide returned to the cockpit and seemed to be sleeping well. This is the experience of the old captain. He will not worry about gains and losses because of something, but it will be worse and more nervous.

When he came back, nearly ten hours had passed since the entire voyage, and he would arrive at the destination in just over an hour. As far as the process was concerned, it was like countless flights, with calm and calm seas.

Like Bei Haiyang, Pang Lide, who sat back in his seat, made a slight test of his control device, and everything was normal. After checking the flight schedule, the two confirmed that they could enter the last stage of the flight.

Bei Haiyang, "Malaysia Aviation Control, this is LH-777, we will leave your guidance, thank you for your cooperation, good afternoon."

Damascus Air Traffic Control Center, "LH-777, I wish you all the best, good afternoon."

Bei Haiyang, "Beirut Aviation Control, this is LH-777, request guidance."

Beirut Aviation Control Center, "LH-777, maintain the heading 075, change the altitude to 290, and fly over Zahler."

Bei Haiyang, "Heading 075, altitude 290, flew over Zahler."

The Beirut air traffic control center is their last stop, and then they will transfer to the Beirut tower for control; the two air traffic control centers actually overlap somewhat in the airspace, because they want to let Beirut The authorities knew their specific situation, so they applied for the guidance of Beirut air traffic control before flying out of Damascus control.

This is not disrespect to Damascus air control, but for flight safety, so that the landing airport has more time to prepare, not because of how busy the sky over Beirut is, but because the place is too messy, if there is any bad news, They want to know as soon as possible.

There is still more than an hour, Bei Haiyang suggested, "We are flying relatively smoothly. I estimate that we will reach the sky above the airport at 12:15, which is a bit early. I need to open the [-]-degree speed brake to slow down."

To slow down, the first choice is of course to close the accelerator. Opening the speed brake at a certain angle to slow down is a special treatment under special circumstances. If you do this under normal conditions, the only use is to consume more fuel, because the speed brake will destroy the normal situation. for optimum air flow characteristics.

Pang Lide understood his purpose as soon as he heard it. He was still thinking about reducing the weight of the plane!It seems that the 13 hours of fuel that this guy said before the flight is not his purpose, his real purpose is to only have 1 hour of fuel redundancy!

Pang Lide didn't agree immediately, but asked: "If you just want to lose a little weight, you can actually secretly put oil on me while I sleep, I don't necessarily know."

Bei Haiyang smiled, "Every action on the plane must be agreed by two people. This is what you taught me."

Pang Lide nodded, stretched out his hand and flicked the switch handle, "Speedbrake position 15, complete."

After opening the speedbrake, the speed of the aircraft slowed down significantly. Bei Haiyang pushed the throttle forward to offset the resistance of the speedbrake, which achieved the purpose of consuming more fuel; Fuel oil is polluting to the atmosphere and should not be used lightly.

"Flying all the way to Beirut Airport in this way will consume an additional 6 to 7 tons of fuel, and the amount of fuel we keep for one hour is enough to fly to Cyprus."

Cyprus is a very important alternate airport in this region, not because of the good conditions of the airport, but because the political situation there is stable and there will be no additional uncontrollable situations.

It was the first time that Pang Lide took the initiative to open his mouth on a topic other than manipulating the plane, "Do you want the plane to land lightly?"

Bei Haiyang sighed, "Yes! Civil aviation aircraft are too heavy, and every 6 or 7 tons of load loss will have a great impact on the aircraft!
Although I don't know what will happen at the airport, most likely nothing will happen, but it's better to be light, the plane is more flexible, the lift is more convenient, and the landing distance is shorter. Since the economic benefit is not the most important, why not? ? "

Pang Lide nodded. He is the captain and has the right to make trade-offs in this regard. What is important is that he does not think this is wrong. In a sense, it is also for the safety of the plane when it lands. Of course, loss of It's time to make more choices.

If you need to circle and wait over Beirut, the amount of fuel on the plane will become the decisive factor, forcing you to either take a risky descent immediately or fly to an alternate airport immediately.

He can understand, "I have a few old friends, they all fly the Zhongdong route, and they also told me about the chaos here. It is true that there is a precedent for shooting a plane with a bazooka. This is a dangerous signal!"

Bei Haiyang understood what he meant. Landing on this voyage is definitely not necessarily dangerous, but the possibility of danger is real, and you cannot ignore it just because its probability is very small.

While the two were silent, a message came from the ground Malaysian flight control center,

"Bear Airlines Flight 9 was diverted to Malaysia Airport due to an accident..."

Bei Haiyang and Pang Lide looked at each other in surprise, feeling something unusual from this message.Because they are still under the control of Malaysian air traffic control, they can still receive messages from Malaysian air traffic control. This is not an order, but a reminder!

The object of the reminder is the other four special planes of Wuchang. You can pretend not to hear it, or you can make your own decision based on it.

Pang Lide snorted coldly, "The reason for the accident? Pick this time? I guess it's not the problem of the plane itself, but a problem on the ground..."

Bei Haiyang smiled wryly, "They are also in a difficult situation, life is difficult, there are too many enemies..."

Xiongguo has a unique image and position in the world situation. It has been resisted by the Western world for a long time. There are many reasons, and its own national characteristics are also very important.

They have been deeply involved in Zhongdong, and of course they have made a lot of enemies. Before this rescue operation, they had the power to say that as long as the people of Xiongguo dare to come, they will be nice to them!

No one knows whether it is true or not, but these countries have their own sources of information locally, so it is reasonable to change the landing location at the last minute; no one can blame them, after all, no one can ask civil aviation to risk The risk of being shot down goes down.

As for relief supplies, that's another matter!Can a drop in the bucket really save the country?
This is the so-called unexpected situation, and it was actually expected. The night before Bei Haiyang and the others took off, the officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also made it very clear to them!
In fact, Hua Country also has its own records, but the decision will be made by the country, not the two pilots.

Pang Lide snorted coldly, "I have a hunch that the Xiongguo No. 9 special plane may not be the only one who gave up landing in Beirut!"

Bei Haiyang just laughed, yes, when it comes to notoriety in the Zhongdong area, who can compare to the Americans?I heard that the rescue plane they came this time didn't even dare to paint the national flag, and I don't know if they have the courage to land here?
You have to stay away from this unlucky thing, and don't suffer from it!
