Return to 2000: Captain of the Great Powers

Chapter 142 Mortals must die!True God lives forever! (Please subscribe!)
On the tarmac of Qizhou Airport, surrounded by a group of narrow-body aircraft, the huge figure of an Airbus 330 stands out from the crowd. Even when the sun is not rising, the shadow it casts is quite specific and oppressive.

The 330 will soon take off for France's Toulouse-Blagnac airport, Airbus' main production center for test flights.In the first-class cabin of the plane sat Li Rongxian, the general manager of Airbus Asia Pacific.Originally, he was supposed to go back with Li Rongcheng, the representative of Boeing, but something delayed him, and he was delayed for a few days before getting on the plane back.

During this time, Li Rongxian was in a good mood.The Boeing 777 program has been hit hard, and may even be stillborn.And a while ago, the S747 switch that broke out on the Boeing 2 had a design flaw. Although the airlines did not cause a particularly serious impact out of their trust in this classic model, it did make the order sales of the 747 to a certain extent. was frustrated.

Now the 777 and 747 have fallen one after another, and the old-fashioned 767 is unusable, so that the sales of its replacement, the Airbus 330, have increased a lot, which is a surprise.

However, amidst all the joy, there are always some uncomfortable things. For example, some countries even came up with the idea of ​​developing their own large aircraft, such as someone who is so arrogant that he feels bored.

Ultimately, though, the clouds are only temporary and sparse, and the future for Airbus is bright.The only thing that needs to be vigilant now is the three limit tests of the 777 in the near future. Li Rongxian, from his own point of view, of course hopes that these three limit tests will be messed up, and the 777 will really have no chance at all.

Of course, Li Rongxian knew in his heart that what went wrong in the last 777 verification flight had little to do with the aircraft itself, but more directly with the crew's misjudgment.

I heard that this time, in order to ensure that the three extreme tests are foolproof, Boeing activated Ye Xian.Personally, Li Rongxian doesn't like Ye Xian very much, but it is undeniable that Ye Xian is very capable.Moreover, it seems that in the last high-altitude test, Boeing also invited Xu Cang. With double insurance, the probability of problems is really infinitely close to zero.

"In the beginning, I should have made up my mind to destroy Xu Cang." Li Rongxian gritted his teeth when he thought of Xu Cang's existence.

In fact, he noticed Xu Cang's ability very early on, and thought that Li Rongcheng would approach Xu Cang about the problem of the Boeing 777.In order to create trouble for Boeing, he did make some efforts. For example, in the conversation with Jin Fuli, he mentioned that Xu Cang could be permanently grounded in exchange for the price reduction of Airbus aircraft in the future.

However, Li Rongxian happened to be unaware of the relationship between Jin Fuli and Xu Cang, so he kicked him directly on the iron board, was scolded by Jin Fuli on the spot, and left angrily.

Jin Fuli's attitude made Li Rongxian mistakenly think that Blue Sky Airlines had discovered Xu Cang's talent, recognized it and was willing to devote all his efforts to cultivating it.Therefore, after that, Li Rongxian didn't bother Xu Cang on purpose.

At first, Li Rongxian felt that Xu Cang was just a slightly talented pilot, and it was difficult to save the situation.Like Ma Cheng of Muhua Airlines, Li Rongxian actually thinks that the value of a pilot has a ceiling, and he doesn't need to pay special attention to it.The second is that Airbus is a latecomer after all. Its influence in the country is not so deep-rooted yet, and its influence is relatively limited. Even if it wants to, Li Rongxian actually doesn't have many resources to mobilize. There is no need to beat Xu Cang.

However, Xu Cang was born like a comet later, with infinite brilliance, and Li Rongxian realized how wrong he was when he heard that Boeing was willing to put the limit test of the 777 on Xu Cang, which would affect the next ten years.

But in fact, if Li Rongxian proposed the same conditions to other leaders of Blue Sky Airlines instead of Jin Fuli, things might really happen.

A large civil aviation airliner costs hundreds of millions of dollars, and the subsequent maintenance is a huge expense. But if there is a good price reduction, the leaders of Blue Sky Airlines would like to tie up Xu Cang to give it to him except for a few cases. Li Rongxian.

It can only be said that Li Rongxian thought too broadly about the structure of the leaders of Blue Sky Airlines, not to mention all of them, at least [-]% of them were mediocrity and no foresight.

In the first-class cabin, Li Rongxian drank coffee leisurely and read magazines.According to his understanding, there are not many first-class passengers on this flight, and the next ten hours or so of flight can finally be quieter.

Suddenly, Li Rongxian heard a series of fire truck sirens sounding, and even intermittent red light came in from the porthole.Li Rongxian put down the magazine and looked outside, and found that four fire trucks were moving away along the apron driveway, and behind the fire trucks were many white ambulances with lights flashing.

"What's the situation?" Li Rongxian was stunned, and then adjusted the direction of his gaze, but he didn't find anything unusual everywhere, which made Li Rongxian feel a little suspicious.

Before Li Rongxian could figure out the situation, his cell phone rang suddenly, and he took it out to check the number, it was an unknown number, but he still connected.

As soon as he put the mobile phone to his ear, a man's voice came from the receiver: "Excuse me, is this Mr. Li? We are from Shandong Airlines Operation Control Center."

"Huh?" Li Rongxian was at a loss. He knew this Shandong Airlines, but he remembered that Shandong Airlines was operated by all Boeing models. How could he call himself?
Turning his mind, Li Rongxian couldn't help thinking of a possibility, that is, there is a new business coming?However, what is more strange is that if it is about ordering, why did the operation control center call him?
"Hi, I'm Li Rongxian, what can I do?"

The Airbus Control Center of Shandong Airlines said: "One of our Airbus 320 planes received from National University Airlines recently had a problem with the explosion of the No. [-] engine. Our company contacted the technical department of Airbus, but there was no reply. I heard that Mr. Li was in the technical department before, if it is convenient, would you provide some technical assistance if possible?"

Due to the time difference, it should be almost midnight at the Airbus headquarters now.Reasonably speaking, this kind of technical department should be online 24 hours a day, but after contacting the Airbus technical department many times, Shandong Airlines did not reply at all.

Not long ago, through Qizhou control as an intermediary, the transportation control center of Shandong Airlines learned about the situation encountered by the crew—the No. [-] engine exploded!

If the ordinary engine stalls or even if the engine fires, then Shandong Airlines will not go to foreign aid in the middle of the night.Because although the probability is very small, the airline can still tolerate normal failures.

However, the engine explosion seems to have exceeded the normal acceptable fault category. Moreover, in the handling procedures, there are engine failures, engine fire alarms, engine surges, overruns, severe damage or stalls, and even flying off. There is no option to explode.

Of course, due to the inherent design of the engine, even if the engine explodes, the scope of the explosion can theoretically be limited to the inside of the engine without causing damage to spread, but this is only theoretical, and no department of Airbus I can guarantee that not a single bit of debris will leak out in the event of an engine explosion.

This makes the problem of engine explosion a lot more unpredictable than other engine problems, and no one will know.In view of the appropriate concerns about unknown problems, it is reasonable for Shandong Airlines to directly seek help from the Airbus technical department.

However, a large number of calls were made without any reply at all, and subsequent emails were sent without a trace, as if Airbus' technical department had disappeared.

Later, I learned of Li Rongxian's itinerary through National University Airlines, and was forced to find Li Rongxian.

Of course, maybe the follow-up crew will deal with it with fire alarm and serious damage procedures, and there will be no continuity problems.But in case the problem spreads, and my own technical strength can't solve it, I still have to rely on Li Rongxian.

Li Rongxian's expression sank after hearing the explanation of the situation from the Shandong Airlines Operation Control Center. Although he didn't know the specific reason, it seemed that the aircraft engine exploded just because of the wrong operation of the crew.

Since it has nothing to do with the crew, there is a problem with the aircraft itself.Then this situation is more subtle. The problems of the aircraft are mainly divided into two types: maintenance problems, and there are defects in the design of the aircraft itself.

If it's just a maintenance problem, then Li Rongxian is not too worried. Airbus can choose to be clean. If the reason is the latter, things will be hard to say.

"It's hard for me to say this kind of situation." At this time, anyone with some brains would not talk nonsense, even if Li Rongxian had some guesses in his heart.

The Shandong Airlines Transportation Control Center did not make things difficult for Li Rongxian, but said: "Then in the future, can Mr. Li keep the communication unblocked, so that we can consult with us at any time?"

"This is no problem!" Li Rongxian said immediately.

"Okay, keep in touch." After finishing speaking, the transportation control center of Shandong Airlines directly hung up the phone.

Li Rongxian put down the phone slowly, now he finally knew what those fire trucks and ambulances were for.Judging by the dispatch timing of fire trucks and ambulances, it is estimated that the plane will land soon.

Thinking of the possibility that there might be a problem with the aircraft engine itself, Li Rongxian felt his heart beating wildly.Just a moment ago, he was still gloating over Boeing's encounter with Waterloo on the 777, but in the blink of an eye, the misfortune may be drawn to his side.

若是真的因为空客320本身出了问题，那还跟747的S2开关存在设计缺陷的性质不一样。不管怎么说，747推出已经超过30年了，在这30年里是经过市场检验的。

Both people and the market have huge thinking inertia. For the 747, a classic model that has been in operation for 30 years, people are willing to give unlimited tolerance.

But the flight time of the Airbus 320 around the world is only worth ten years, which is far from the so-called feeling.As long as there is a flight accident caused by the design defect of the aircraft itself, even if the market will not immediately abandon the Airbus 320, it will definitely be a serious blow.

Li Rongxian absolutely cannot allow this problem to occur, which means that even with the minimum requirements, the plane of Shandong Airlines cannot crash.Everything is modifiable to some degree, as long as it doesn't crash.

Standing up slowly, Li Rongxian was so upset, he just felt that staying in the cabin made him feel stuffy.So, he simply packed up his things and went straight out of the cabin.

The flight was operated by Air France, and the crew on board knew the identity of Li Rongxian.When Li Rongxian walked to the door of the cabin, the blond flight attendant asked in fluent Chinese: "Mr. Li, the plane will be boarding soon. If you want to go out to get some air, please pay attention to the time."

After the purser finished speaking, he noticed that Li Rongxian didn't seem to be simply going out to get some air, but he even took his bag with him.

"You don't have to wait for me."

The purser froze for a moment: "Mr. Li, are you planning to terminate the trip?"

"Yeah." Li Rongxian walked straight out of the cabin without looking back.It seems that his return time will be postponed again.

The atmosphere in the cockpit of Flight 9451 was a bit tense. When approaching Qizhou Airport, ATC asked if radar guidance was needed to intercept the blind landing, but Shi Qi refused.

The main reason is that the time to return to Qizhou was a little rushed, not only the cockpit, but also the cabin was messy.It's not that the passengers are in any confusion, but that the entire crew has never encountered the actual situation of a single engine landing, which requires a certain amount of psychological construction.

It's not that the passengers are fine, but the crew should be fine too.Because although Shi Qi did not explicitly mention the evacuation or the expected evacuation situation, as a flight attendant, he should build this situation in his heart, so as not to be unable to deal with any unexpected situation.

But to be honest, there is still a big difference between the simulated training and the actual situation. When a few flight attendants heard that the flight attendant told them to prepare for the evacuation, the pressure was not ordinary.

Passengers don't need to undertake any evacuation tasks. If they really want to evacuate, they just need to spread their feet and follow the guidance of the crew to run outside.Moreover, after the initial engine explosion, the subsequent flight was very stable. After a long time, and under the comfort of Shi Qi's passenger radio, the fear gradually disappeared.

After all, people are still group animals, and emotions can be perceived and transmitted.From the bottom of his heart, Shi Qi didn't feel that a single-engine landing was such an uncertain thing. Reflecting on the passenger broadcast, Shi Qi's tone was quite calm and peaceful, so that the passengers on the plane gradually believed that the situation was not so bad, and never In terms of actual perception, the subsequent flight is basically not much different from the usual situation.

It has only been one year since Shandong Airlines was established, and the flight crew has never experienced any major incidents. This is considered a real encounter, so it is better not to push too hard.The radar guidance is actually not too different from the procedure, so Shi Qi can save himself such pressure, and just fly according to the procedure, a little routine, and he sees Wu Taiming, the co-pilot, sweating, it seems that the pressure is not small. .

At this time, there were no planes in front of or behind Shandong Airlines Flight 9451. They could fly at whatever speed and how they wanted to fly, all at the discretion of the crew. After all, even MAYDAY was announced, and this priority is still acceptable. given.In addition, there are not many planned aircraft taking off and landing at Qizhou Airport at the moment, so it is very convenient to deploy.

Although Shi Qi didn't take the shortest route, he still grasped the timing of slowing down relatively late.Generally speaking, if there is no special control requirement, it is better to carry out the speed management in the approach phase according to the method given by the calculation, and of course the airframe of the crew is also relatively easy.

As long as there are no additional requirements, the flight computer can make the entire descent plan without the crew having to worry about it.It's just that at large airports controlled by radar, the approach procedures cannot be completely followed in many cases, so the crew needs to intervene by themselves.

The elevation of Qizhou Airport is 47 meters, and the height of intercepting the glideslope is 1000 to [-] meters, or [-] feet, which is a relatively normal intercepting distance, about ten nautical miles.

Under the command of the controller, Shi Qi descended to 1000 and [-] meters on the four sides. After turning to the fifth side according to the procedure, Shi Qi pressed the APPR button on the FCU. At this moment, both LOC and G/S are armed. On the FMA The display is normal.

Although it doesn't matter if there is no flight guidance, Shi Qi was still happy when he saw that the FMA showed no problems.According to the procedures, the five sides of runway 11 of Qizhou Airport are about [-] nautical miles, which is relatively long, so Shi Qi did not rush to slow down and kept flying at a smooth speed. Anyway, there is no need to descend later. The efficiency of directly leveling and decelerating is very high, so there is no need to worry about decelerating.

The weather today is not bad. Although the sun has not yet appeared, the lights of Qizhou Airport can be seen from a long distance away, especially the runway lights are very conspicuous.After turning to the fifth side, you can clearly see the outline of the entire runway. In addition, Shi Qi heard that the cabin behind is not very noisy. Just now the flight attendant reported to him that the flight crew was in a stable mood, and at the same time communicated briefly through the internal voice Having an evacuation plan in place reduces the possibility of making mistakes while busy.

Seeing the airport, Shi Qi felt a little more relaxed. At this moment, the plane basically did not shake much, so that the teacher Wang Baotian who was sitting in the back had to sigh: "It's such a beautiful weather, the weather is beautiful, our Good luck."

In any case, in the case of a single engine, the maneuverability of the aircraft will be reduced, and it is always good to have a more stable airflow.

"En." The moment Teacher Wang Baotian finished speaking, the aircraft's course was intercepted. Since Shi Qi was operating manually, he ordered Wu Taiming to adjust the course of the go-around.

"Later, let's land with full flaps, but wait for the final approach fix before releasing the full flaps." Now it is the last free time before landing, and Shi Qi needs to make the last stop with Wu Taiming during this time explanation.

The distribution of flaps is different from that of Boeing. Boeing has flaps retracted, flaps one, flaps two, flaps five, flaps ten, flaps fifteen, flaps 25, flaps thirty, flaps forty these stalls.The Airbus flap distribution is relatively simple, namely zero, one, two, three, four.Among them, flap four is often called full flap.

Normally, both three and full flaps can be used for landing, and these two landing configurations are also suitable for single-engine situations.However, with a single engine, flaps three must be used in some cases, that is, there is a leveling during the final descent.

Shi Qi is more used to landing with full flaps, so of course there is no problem.However, if the problem of leveling is avoided, the flaps cannot be placed in the full flap position before passing the final approach fix point, and the flaps must be placed in the continuous descent stage after the FAF point.

This is relatively simple content, but in this case, Shi Qi still felt that it was necessary to explain everything to Wu Taiming in detail, so as to avoid subsequent problems.After all, the co-pilot has relatively little experience, and it is really uncertain how much strength is left under the pressure.

After Wu Taiming confirmed, Shi Qi said again: "As long as the deviation of the plane is too large, we will go around, even if it is a single engine. I stared at the thrust of the go-around. At the beginning, the flaps were retracted by one gear, and the wheels were raised and retracted. Don’t reverse the order of the flaps and landing gear, otherwise it will cause us trouble. Also, pay attention to the rudder volume and Come on, if you find that my rudder is not keeping up, you can go directly after reminding you that it doesn't work, and you don't have to wait."

At the beginning of the go-around, the logic of Airbus is also very simple, and the flaps are retracted by one gear.That is, if Shi Qi landed with full flaps for a while, after the go-around, the initial flaps were set to three.If flap three lands, flap two is received.This logic is regardless of double-shot or single-shot.

But Boeing is different. With normal twin engines, the plane can use the flaps of [-] when landing, and sometimes it can be placed at [-] according to personal preference.If it is a go-around, the flaps are not retracted by one gear, but directly retracted by flaps [-].

In addition, if it is in the case of a single engine, Boeing's landing flaps are different from those of twin engines. It is not at flap thirty or forty, but at flap fifteen.

If the go-around is performed with a single engine, the flaps must be received at the beginning of the flaps. After that, the flaps will be kept in the flap configuration or retracted according to the situation according to the speed-up plan.

Wu Taiming wiped his forehead and let out a sigh.

From behind Wu Taiming, Wang Baotian lifted Wu Taiming's seat with his feet: "Have you ever met Shanfa before?"

Wu Taiming was already tense, and he was even more flustered when he was questioned by Wang Baotian. He stammered, "No, teacher!"

"What about the go-around?" Wang Baotian added, "I'm not talking about aborting the approach, but a go-around at low altitude."

Wu Taiming blushed: "Teacher, I haven't encountered it either."

"It turned out to be a baby." Wang Baotian sneered, "What level are you?"

Wu Taiming was made into a cold sweat by Wang Baotian's series of questions. He felt that maybe he was acting too flustered, which made Teacher Wang Baotian notice it and felt dissatisfied at the same time.

However, before Wu Taiming could answer, Shi Qi said with a smile: "Teacher, he is low in rank and has few encounters."

"But I flew for two or three years in that era, and I have encountered all kinds of situations."

"Now that the plane is in good condition, it is less prone to problems, and the probability of accidents is naturally less." Shi Qi said and patted Wu Taiming on the shoulder: "It's okay, I haven't made a go-around, and I haven't encountered any problems. It's good luck, our good luck in flying is not a blessing, there is no need to be nervous!"

Wang Baotian raised his eyebrows, feeling that Shi Qi had something to say.However, now that Shi Qi is the captain, it is difficult for him to say anything.Wu Taiming, on the other hand, nodded gratefully towards Shi Qi, just like the first time a soldier shoots a gun, the pilot will always have obvious mood swings when encountering a special situation for the first time, Shi Qi is willing to stand by Wu Taiming Consider it from a different perspective, so instead of demanding Wu Taiming, he encouraged him.

After finishing speaking, Shi Qi saw that the distance was about the same, so he gave the order: "Flap one!"

"Speed ​​check, flap one!" Wu Taiming put his energy back into work immediately, and put the flap handle to one according to the order.

Shi Qi slightly lowered the throttle, and at the same time held the plane to slow down.Soon the aircraft decelerated to a speed close to S.On a deceleration approach, the aircraft needs to establish flaps and S speed before establishing the final descent, otherwise Shi Qi may wait a little longer to decelerate.

After the formation of flap [-] was established, Shi Qi looked at the position of the plane, and said to Wu Taiming: "Wait for flap [-] and the landing gear, and then release them at about twelve nautical miles."

Generally speaking, when the flap position is [-], the landing gear should also be lowered, and the two are usually combined.However, the minimum altitude for flap two is two thousand feet, so it doesn't matter if you wait a little longer.

Naturally, Wu Taiming had no objection, and Wang Baotian was not very clear about the Airbus approach procedure, so he kept silent, and Shi Qi operated it all by himself.

At this moment, on the control tower of Qizhou Airport, Shi Lingling, who learned that there was a problem with her father's flight, rushed directly from the Shandong Airlines base to the Qizhou control tower.Since the Shandong Airlines base is next to the airport, it basically didn't take much time.

At this time, Shi Lingling's work permit from the bureau was much easier to use, and he didn't even need to make an appointment in advance and a temporary pass. With the work pass from the bureau, he could go all the way in the airport control area without hindrance, and went directly to the control tower.

For the personnel of the mission center of the General Administration, the duty director of the control tower still acquiesced in the mentality of doing more than doing less, and acquiesced in Shi Lingling's observation of their command process.

At this moment, the sun had not yet risen, and except for some areas illuminated by airport lights, the rest was pitch black.However, Shi Lingling leaned against the window and could vaguely see a spot of light above the fifth side of runway 11, presumably it was the Airbus 320 of Shandong Airlines.

"Is the ground support ready?" Shi Lingling asked.

The supervisor on duty nodded: "It was all in place 10 minutes ago."

"The crew did not report new problems, did they?"

"Not yet."

Perhaps because of Shi Lingling's background in the General Administration, the attitude of the duty supervisor in the dialogue with him was very similar to the posture when reporting to the superior, a little humble.

The moment the supervisor on duty finished speaking, a steady man's voice sounded from the radio speaker at one of the control seats: "Shandong Airlines 9451, No. 11 has blindly landed."

At this time, the tower controller did not answer immediately, but turned his attention to the duty supervisor next to him to ask if he had any new instructions.And Shi Lingling walked over from the window, and she recognized that the voice just now belonged to her father Shi Qi.She originally planned to communicate with Shi Qi directly, but the frequency of the Qizhou Tower is open, Shi Lingling thought about it and finally gave up this idea.

Seeing that Shi Lingling hesitated to speak, the supervisor on duty asked, "Do you have any requirements?"

Shi Lingling waved his hand: "No, just follow your own procedures."

"Yeah." The supervisor on duty nodded and gestured to the tower controller. The controller understood and immediately replied to the crew: "Shandong Airlines 9541, the ground is calm, and runway 11 can land."

"Runway 11 can land." Shi Qi replied casually, and continued: "If we go around later, apply to stay on one side."

If the standard go-around procedure is followed, the right turn should be made immediately after pulling up, and the turn angle is steep.If it is in the normal double-shot situation, there is no hidden danger.However, in the case of a single engine, a large angle of deflection immediately at the initial state of high thrust and high elevation angle will bring some additional burden to the crew.

Although even if he flew according to the standard go-around procedure, Shi Qi thought that there would be no major problem.But Qizhou Airport is only less than 50 meters above sea level, surrounded by flat mountains, and the clearance conditions are frighteningly good. There is no terrain threat at all, so theoretically, it should not be a big problem to deviate from the standard go-around procedure and stay on one side.

The only thing to consider is whether it will affect other aircraft.However, strictly speaking, they all declared a state of emergency. It was never them who let others, but others who took the initiative to avoid them.

If you can save yourself some trouble, that's better.

Sure enough, the control tower directly changed the go-around procedure for Shi Qi: "Shandong Airlines 9451, change the go-around procedure, keep the altitude on one side at 600 meters."

"Stay on one side and go up to 600 meters." Shi Qi immediately replied, "Thank you!"

After the tower control explained everything, Shi Lingling turned his attention back to the sky above the fifth side of runway 11.Standing behind Shi Lingling, the supervisor on duty found that Shi Lingling was really looking at the five sides without blinking, looking very concerned.

After hesitating for a moment, the supervisor on duty couldn't help but asked: "Miss Shi, I'm curious to ask, is the Mission Center of the General Administration now changing its functions?"

Shi Lingling turned her body slightly, and said calmly, "What do you mean?"

The supervisor on duty smiled awkwardly: "I mean, shouldn't this matter be under the control of the Air Safety Department?"

"Well, this matter is indeed under the jurisdiction of the Aviation Safety Department." Shi Lingling was very serious, nodded directly in response, and then set his sights on the fifth side of the runway.

The supervisor on duty still didn't get the answer he wanted: "Then why did you come here specially, Miss Shi?"

Could it be that the consciousness of the people in the General Administration is so high that even the reporters from the Mission Center have directly shared the responsibility for the Air Safety Division?
However, Shi Lingling just said calmly: "Because my father is on the plane."

"Huh?" The supervisor on duty didn't respond for a moment: "Miss Shi, what did you say?"

Shi Lingling finally turned around again and pointed at the control seat who was talking to the crew just now: "The crew who spoke just now is my father."

As soon as this remark came out, the supervisor on duty suddenly changed his face.

At this moment, in the cabin of the plane, Xu Cang could already see the sparse lights on the ground relatively clearly through the window, and it seemed that the altitude was already very low.Not long ago, Xu Cang heard the movement of the landing gear lowered, and in a very short time after that, the plane began to transition into a gentle descent.

Many people can't tell the difference between the plane's slow ascent or descent, but Xu Cang's body is extremely sensitive, and he can feel it.However, since the plane turned from level flight to the final descent, he felt that the sound of the engine rotation did not seem to have changed significantly.

Reasonably, after entering the final descent stage, the speed of the engine should be lower than that of level flight, that's for sure.However, Xu Cang did not hear that the sound of the No. [-] engine's operation had decreased in the slightest.

Moreover, in the later stage, the aircraft often bows its head abruptly.This is obviously not caused by air flow, but more like artificial pressure.However, this repetitive artificial nose-down seems unusual.

As the altitude gradually decreased, Xu Cang could even see the relatively clear faces of some buildings on the ground.But for some reason, Xu Cang always felt that something was wrong.

However, out of trust in Shi Qi, he still tends to think that his perception is an illusion.After all, a simple single-engine landing is not easy for a pilot of Shi Qi's technical level, at least it is not considered super-difficult. I believe Shi Qi can handle it steadily.

However, contrary to what Xu Cang thought, in the final low-altitude environment after the plane stabilized its landing configuration, Shi Qi often pushed the stick artificially instantaneously to suppress the plane's constant tendency to look up.

Even Wang Baotian, who doesn't know about Airbus, couldn't stand it because the control was too broken. Some scolded him and asked, "If the plane has a lot of energy, why don't you put down the throttle, because your speed is also too high."

However, Shi Qi did not answer Wang Baotian. How could he not keep the plane in such a good five-sided environment? You must know that the speed of the plane is only 55. Even at Pingyuan Airport, this is definitely not a big throttle. up.Under normal circumstances, the benchmark throttle should be above 65.

However, I don't know why, even though the thrust was set relatively low, the plane still kept raising its head spontaneously.In order to curb the rising trend, Shi Qi could only push the pole continuously.But with this movement, the speed of the plane began to increase slowly.However, the speed of the aircraft is still within the acceptable range, but it cannot be allowed to go on like this forever.

If it was under the condition of two engines, Shi Qi would have stopped the gas pedal a long time ago.However, Shi Qi had flown a single engine before.In actual flight, in the case of a single engine, the throttle cannot be retracted randomly. If it is retracted too much, the momentum of the subsequent aircraft's descent will easily be unstoppable.At this time, the airflow on the final side is obviously very stable. At this time, there is only a headwind of less than two meters at a place of [-] feet, and there is only a calm wind at a lower place. There should be such a situation where the attitude of the aircraft does not match the throttle. !
Shi Qi has long been familiar with how much single-engine throttle should be used for final approach to the airport at what altitude.He subconsciously felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell.

"Teacher, the speed is too high." Wu Taiming reminded.

In this situation, Shi Qi had no choice but to turn back the throttle to another fifty.Now that the altitude was several hundred feet left, he didn't dare to reduce the accelerator any more. If he reduced it any further, it would be almost a slow car with two engines, and such a correction would be too extreme.

At this moment, the No. [-] engine has been completely scrapped, unable to provide any thrust, while the other engine only has a speed of [-], which is obviously a setting with too low thrust.

You should know that even when the two engines are normal, the base throttle of the two engines should exceed 53 at the altitude of Qizhou Airport.But now that the single engine is only [-], the aircraft does not seem to have any signs of energy decay, but is still full of energy.

"Five hundred feet!" Wu Taiming shouted.

To be honest, a trace of unease rose in Shi Qi's heart inexplicably, and this unease was still expanding rapidly.But he couldn't find anything wrong, so he didn't say anything, but let the plane continue approaching.

After the throttle was set to fifty, the situation of the plane being too full of energy seemed to improve a bit, which finally made the worried Shi Qi feel better.

"A hundred to a decision!"

Shi Qi straightened his body a little and was ready before landing.

"The decision is high, the runway is straight ahead!"

At this moment, the plane was only [-] feet away from the runway, and the touchdown area of ​​the runway was relatively clear under the illumination of the lights, and Wang Baotian, who was sitting at the back, couldn't help holding his breath.

Shi Qi's hand was very steady, and after turning to his vision, the plane was still very steady, and entered the sky above the runway precisely at an altitude of fifty feet.The aircraft crossed the runway threshold almost at the same time as the radio altitude fifty was displayed, exactly, and the descent profile was horribly accurate.

Usually, after entering the sky above the runway, you can slightly reduce the throttle to test the energy of the aircraft.However, this approach does not apply to single-shot situations.It's the same reason that Shi Qi hesitated to close the throttle when the aircraft was under high energy during the approach phase. If the single-engine plane closed the throttle too early, it would not be able to add it back.Moreover, since there is only one engine, the sinking of the aircraft is more sensitive to changes in the thrust of the engine, which requires the pilot to control the throttle more conservatively.

When passing the height of [-] feet, Shi Qi felt that the energy of the plane was enough and it was absolutely safe, so he turned off the throttle.

At this moment, the energy of the plane must be too high, even Wu Taiming can see this.However, no one doubts this.The runway of Qizhou Airport is 3000 to [-] meters, even if it floats a little further, it will definitely stop.

On the contrary, if the timing of closing the throttle is too early and the plane crashes, it is not known whether the plane will be smashed for good or bad.

Shi Qi's mind is very clear, he knows how to weigh the pros and cons, and finish the ending in the safest way.

Wang Baotian stopped looking inside when he saw Shi Qi closing the gas pedal behind him, but turned all his attention to the outside.However, when he looked outside, even though the sun hadn't come out, he could vaguely distinguish the surface of the runway under the light of the runway lights.

With the reference, Wang Baotian felt abnormal all of a sudden, and said immediately: "Have you turned off the throttle?"

From Wang Baotian's point of view, the aircraft throttled down at the moment, then gradually increased its attitude, and the aircraft slowly sank to touch down, which should be a smooth process.

However, the throttle was turned off, and Shi Qi was also increasing his posture, and then the plane was indeed almost leveled, and it stopped descending!
Wang Baotian first thought that Shi Qi hadn't turned off the accelerator, even though he had seen Shi Qi turn off the accelerator just now.

"I've turned it off!" How could Shi Qi not know if he turned off the gas pedal, and he couldn't figure out why this happened.

In Shi Qi's plan, he can accept a little flat float for a long distance, but at this moment the plane is almost level, and there is no sign of descending at all, how long will it take to float?
If it is in the hands of a normal pilot, it is time to go around.But Shi Qi was very experienced, so he pushed the ejector directly and artificially pushed down the flat plane.

This method is very particular, because if there is a little carelessness, the nose of the plane touches the ground first, which may cause the nose landing gear to break, and only a highly skilled person like Shi Qi dares to do this.

Sure enough, with Shi Qi's actions, the plane was almost flat on the road with a very small gesture.

As soon as the plane touched down, Shi Qi immediately reversed the thrust.However, at this time, a sudden change occurred, and the reverse thrust had just been pulled up. For some reason, the whole plane was vibrating wildly at an extremely violent rate, as if it had suffered some unpredictable force, as if it was about to The whole plane was shaken to pieces.

Seeing this, Shi Qi's face changed drastically. Before he understood why this happened, Wu Taiming, who had been paying attention to the speedometer, asked a little doubtfully, "Brother, why can't the speed be slowed down?"

At this moment, Xu Cang's eyes suddenly widened in the passenger cabin, because he clearly saw through the window that the thrust reverser of the No. [-] engine on the other side was not fully opened at all, but only opened a crack.

"No, no, no!" Xu Cang clenched his teeth, "Something happened!"
