Return to 2000: Captain of the Great Powers

Chapter 19 Unprecedented Slippage

As Qin Xin expected, Jianchuan Airport has indeed entered a state of emergency.Not only did the planes on the ground fail to get up, but the approach area also did not receive planes.At this moment, there is only one aircraft, Feiyu 6321, in the airspace within a radius of [-] kilometers of Jianchuan Airport.

The aircraft did not follow the standard approach procedure, but joined the three sides under the command of tower control.Usually this work should be undertaken by the approach control seat, but in order to reduce the communication pressure of the crew, under the coordination of the supervisor on duty, the approach control work was directly merged into the control tower.

Following the guidance of the radar, the plane turned to the fourth side and then cut into the fifth side at an angle of [-] degrees.

"Feiyu 6321, you can establish a blind landing on runway 23, and fully establish a report."

"Impossible landing on No. 23 can be established, and a report can be established."

Following the tower's permission to establish an ILS, the captain made a final confirmation at the moment the co-pilot's voice echoed: "Course 231, frequency 108.15, identification code IUT, can establish ILS No. 23, course Reserve."

There is no problem with the course, navigation frequency, and blind landing identification code, and the captain then presses the VOR/LOC button to arm the localizer.

While waiting for the localizer to be intercepted, the captain glanced at the co-pilot, saw the co-pilot sitting there like a sculpture, and couldn't help sighing.

He patted the shoulder of the co-pilot and pointed back: "You can change seats with him."

This time the co-pilot and Xu Cang were unexpected, and the co-pilot asked a crucial question after a brief astonishment: "Brother, is this legal?"

It doesn't seem so reasonable to replace a crew member without showing any signs of disability.This was the subconscious reaction of the co-pilot.

With a straight face, the captain slowly squeezed out a sentence: "Under the current windy conditions, are you sure you can complete the single-engine landing? I mean the real flight, not the simulator."

Although the simulator can restore the operating environment of the real flight as much as possible, anyone who has flown knows how big the difference is between the two, whether it is the flight environment and aircraft performance, or the control mentality of the crew, the two are completely different. Same day.

The co-pilot took a deep breath, and he understood what the captain meant.The captain was obviously not sure about the landing, and wanted to replace Xu Cang so that Xu Cang could help him at the critical moment.

After all, in this case, the co-pilot basically does not help at all for landing.Instead of letting the co-pilot who is of no benefit to the key issue continue to take the seat, it is better to place hope on Xu Cang who looks very powerful.

Although Xu Cang kept saying that he was the captain, he was not a fool, so why would he believe what Xu Cang said?It's just that at this juncture, he has no choice.

Having said that, even if the co-pilot still has doubts about the compliance of the captain's replacement, he can still distinguish the priorities.If you want to accept the punishment, you have to accept it with your life.

Xu Cang originally thought that the captain would only let him take the seat after a failed attempt.But now it seems that the captain said that the pressure he was under was greater than expected, so great that he was not sure that he could even complete the go-around after the approach failed.

He silently unbuckled his seat belt, stood up, folded the seat, and prepared to retract the seat temporarily.At this time, the captain's voice sounded again: "I thought for a long time just now, no matter what, I can't completely leave the plane to you alone, I must be seated, then you can only sit on the right side You may not be used to it, but this is my biggest concession!"

After flying in the left seat for a long time, many captains and even instructors will feel a little uncomfortable when they return to the right seat.Just like the co-pilot suddenly sits in the left seat, it will also feel uncomfortable to operate the steering wheel with the right hand.

In the captain's heart, Xu Cang was still regarded as a captain or above by default, even though there was no evidence to prove whether Xu Cang's words were true or not.

"It's okay, it's all the same." Xu Cang has no difference between left and right hands. He has flown too many left-seat senior co-pilots, captains and instructors in later generations.At that time, he sat on the right seat and was used to it.

When Xu Cang spoke, his tone was as steady as the calm water surface of an ancient well, without any waves, as if the thorny problem that could overwhelm a captain was only a mere one on his side.

When Xu Cang's words fell into the captain's ears, the captain's heart seemed to be stabbed severely.

Too big, the gap is too big!As long as a pilot with a little knowledge can understand their situation at this moment.However, Xu Cang's calm demeanor seemed to give him the illusion that Mount Taishan was just taking it easy.

The co-pilot also got up to give way, and the two of them crossed their positions. Xu Cang stepped into the co-pilot's seat on the right. Just as he sat down, the flight path was intercepted.

"The channel is intercepted." Xu Cang quickly adapted to his role, and was still making standard calls while wearing his seat belt.

"Hmm." The captain was obviously a little nervous, so he just responded lightly, pressed the APP switch, armed the glideslope, and adjusted the go-around course at the same time.

After fastening the seat belt and adjusting the seat position, Xu Cang touched the steering wheel, and the silky and cold feeling was transmitted to the skin of his palm.

"I really should be here."

I don't know why, even though it's extremely dangerous now, once sitting in this position and touching the steering wheel, Xu Cang can feel extremely at ease, as if he was born to belong here.

Xu Cang poked forward with his left foot, and found that the left rudder was almost pressed to the bottom, and suddenly became suspicious: "Is the side slip so big?"

In reality, the single engine of the aircraft will produce sideslip when the thrust is inconsistent, but it should not be necessary to step on the rudder to the bottom.

"I don't know why, the influence of the wind?" The captain actually didn't understand the reason in his heart: "We will enter the final descent stage in a while, and the throttle is lowered. Let's take a look."

As the captain's voice fell, the glideslope was intercepted, the captain adjusted the go-around altitude, and at the same time gave instructions: "Speed ​​check, put the wheels, flaps fifteen."

For a single-engine landing, flap [-] is the standard landing configuration.

Xu Cang confirmed that there was no abnormality in the speed, put down the landing gear handle, and put the flap handle in the slot on the fifteenth.At this moment, the plane had already started to descend along the glideslope, and the pilot's perspective moved down, taking a panoramic view of Runway 23 of Jianchuan Airport.

It can only be said that God is still quite generous. The visibility is estimated to exceed ten kilometers, and the sky is full of broken clouds, which basically do not affect the vision.

From the visual point of view, it is estimated that the direction of the plane's nose and the direction of the runway may have a 45-degree angle. Xu Cang has never seen this side slip.
