Return to 2000: Captain of the Great Powers

Chapter 87 The fuselage is broken? (Add more, please subscribe!)
In the cockpit of Lantian 9211, the captain and the first co-pilot are struggling to pull back the stick, but the downdraft from the outside world is so strong that the plane cannot lift its head. Even if they work together, it is still useless .

The sound of area control echoed in the earphones and speakers, but for some reason, the sound interference from the radio was so serious that Xu Cang couldn't hear what the controller was saying at all.

But you can roughly guess what the content is. Now that they are diving all the way from 800 meters, it is abnormal for the area controller not to be in a hurry.

However, it's not that they don't want to return to their original altitude, but that the downdraft is always inhibiting their ascent.

However, suddenly, the radio communication signal seemed to be better, and the anxious voice of the area controller sounded in the earphone and the loudspeaker at the same time: "Blue Sky 9211, immediately maintain the altitude, there is an artillery firing zone below!"

These words were so shocking that they reached the ears of the three people in the cockpit at the same time, even the captain and the first co-pilot sitting in front were slightly stunned.But after a moment of absent-mindedness, the two pulled back the pole like crazy, and the blue veins on their foreheads were faintly visible.

At this moment, the two people in front must not be able to reply to the controller, so Xu Cang communicated on his behalf, and there happened to be a hand-held microphone on his side, and he immediately called the Wushi control: "Wushi, Lantian 9211, where is the range of the artillery firing area below? "

The controller in the area control room, who had already followed the ants on the hot pot, heard Xu Cang's voice, and suddenly fell into ecstasy, and immediately said anxiously: "The altitude below 500 meters is the artillery shooting area, and now the artillery shooting area The activities have not stopped yet. I have already contacted the military and requested to suspend the artillery firing activities, but I don’t know if it will be too late, you should hurry up and maintain altitude.”

"Eight thousand, five hundred meters?" Xu Cang glanced at the altimeter. At this moment, the altitude of the aircraft is almost 500 meters, but the rate of descent is still close to two thousand feet per minute. Just like 9000 minute.

The conversation between the controller and Xu Cang was also heard by the captain and the first co-pilot, and the hairs on both of their bodies stood on end.Below is the firing zone that is still active. If you go in there, won't you be treated as a target?

But now the rate of descent of the plane has no tendency to decrease at all, and the captain can't help but start to panic.Seeing that the back lever didn't seem to be getting better, he started to keep turning the elevator back to trim.

Xu Cang's mind is currently thinking about the follow-up countermeasures, and he didn't notice the captain's continuous trimming behavior in the future, and the cockpit is relatively noisy at the moment, and the continuous screams from the rear cabin are also covering Xu Cang's mind. Perception, he didn't hear the sound of the trim wheel turning at all.

"Ushi."

Just when Xu Cang wanted to continue to communicate with the controller whether there was any other emergency solution, he just said two words, and suddenly his words were interrupted. Amid the chaotic voices around him, he seemed to hear an unusual movement.

However, the sounds from the outside world were too confusing. He just felt it, but he couldn't be sure if he really heard it.However, Xu Cang really couldn't distinguish the movement that touched his heartstrings, but this interruption restrained Xu Cang's mind, and he suddenly noticed that the trim wheel of the plane was turning backwards, and then looked at the aircraft The thumb of the long left hand was placed right on the electric trim switch, and a layer of cold sweat could not help oozing from his back.

"What are you doing?" Xu Cang couldn't care less about talking to the controller now, and shouted violently: "Release the trim!"

The first co-pilot was taken aback by Xu Cang's yell, but the captain responded tit-for-tat: "Didn't you hear that there is an artillery firing zone below? Shut up and don't interfere with our operations."

Now the captain can't tolerate anything else in his mind, just thinking about how to recover the plane from the dive. The height of 500 meters can't last long!
"Damn it!" Xu Cang wanted to slap the captain, but he held back in the end.

The reason why Xu Cang was so furious was that when the nose of the plane was too low, the pitch trim could not be used excessively. Not only would this kind of manipulation not help the recovery, but it would even have a counterproductive effect, adding additional air load to the plane.

This should be the most basic recovery procedure. However, the captain is now blind and cannot tolerate any doubts.

At this moment, the bell of the cabin communication request suddenly rang in the cockpit, and it was the crew calling them.At such a critical moment, where does the cockpit have the energy to manage the cabin?Xu Cang just ignored the bell in the cabin.

However, seeing that the cockpit did not respond for a long time, the cabin was actually calling all the time, making the cockpit full of cabin call bells.

"It's time to add to the chaos!"

Xu Cang was really irritated, and the cabin had to intervene at this time when it was already chaotic.To be reasonable, other young flight attendants are ignorant, how could the chief purser not know?Are you still calling the cockpit continuously at this time?

The unbearable Xu Cang finally couldn't take it anymore, and directly switched the transmitter to the internal communication channel of the cabin: "What's the matter?"

However, it was not the flight attendant who answered Xu Cang, but Xia Shuyue, a student flight attendant on this flight.

Xia Shuyue originally thought it would be the captain who answered the call, but she did not expect it to be Xu Cang's voice after the connection, she was overjoyed and said hastily: "Brother, I heard the creaking sound in the back cabin, and it is becoming more and more obvious now. "

"The sound of creaking?" After such a reminder, Xu Cang instantly thought of the little movement that he didn't seem to hear just now. Could it be the sound similar to creaking as Xia Shuyue said?

"No, no, no!" Almost immediately, Xu Cang thought of a bad possibility.No, it's very bad to be precise.

He quickly switched the transmitter back to the first VHF, and informed the Urumqi controller on the channel: "Blue Sky 9211, affected by the downdraft, we will descend below 500 meters, please contact the military as soon as possible to suspend Activity."

After finishing speaking, Xu Cang didn't wait for the controller's reply, put down the microphone, and yelled at the two guys in front who were still holding the lever to adjust the balance: "Stop, the plane's load is about to exceed the limit!"

In the area control room, after receiving the notification from Xu Cang, the controller first looked blank, and then his heart seemed to be firmly grasped, and he almost stopped.Then, he got up again and yelled at Cheng Yuan, the colleague who was in charge of contacting the bureau at the corner: "Cheng Yuan, hurry up, the plane is about to break through the top of the artillery firing area."

Cheng Yuan held the microphone of the landline, sweating profusely, repeating in his mouth: "Hurry up, hurry up!"

At this moment, the director of the Wushi Control Office came in leisurely. He went out to take a breath just now, and now he is really refreshed.It's just that when I came in, I heard people shouting inside, and I couldn't help being a little angry: "What are you doing, you have such a loud voice?"

As he said that, he saw the area controller who was still standing at a glance: "What's the matter, are you making such a fuss?"

When the area controller saw that the director finally came back, his whole face collapsed: "Director, something serious happened."

In the cockpit, Xu Cang asked the captain and co-pilot to stop again, but the two people in front continued to operate with their heads sullen, as if they hadn't heard Xu Cang's words.

Xu Cang became completely gloomy. Seeing that the plane was almost at the top of the artillery firing area, and the rate of descent of the plane was consistent, and the two people in front were determined to go their own way, an uncontrollable anger suddenly rose in Xu Cang's chest.

At the time of life and death, Xu Cang didn't care so much, and shouted decisively: "You two idiots, stop quickly!"

Due to being too emotional, Xu Cang clenched his right hand unconsciously, and happened to press the speaking microphone held by his right hand. In an instant, Xu Cang's voice was directly absorbed.

On the other hand, under the director's instruction, the area controller had just tuned the radio communication signal to the loudspeaker, and in an instant, most of the Urumqi area control room was filled with Xu Cang's shouts.

The staff in the huge area control room looked at each other, sighing secretly, are all the crew members of Blue Sky Airlines so vigorous?Even the usually calm director was shocked by Xu Cang's angry words.

However, the anxious voice of the area controller soon came: "Director, they are going to pass through the top of the firing zone!"

Now, the director immediately set his sights on the radar.I saw that the plane's altitude had dropped to 600 meters at this moment, and it seemed that it had touched the top of the artillery firing area, and it was still falling. It seemed that breaking through the limit was a certainty.

The director's heart tightened, and he looked at Cheng Yuan in the corner again: "Is the coordination done? The plane has already entered."

"It's coordinating, it's coordinating." Cheng Yuan was upset: "Don't rush me, my head is going to grow big."

Originally, this kind of planned military activities cannot be stopped at will, not to mention that civil aviation and military aviation have become independent, and the coordination between the two system departments inherently has a certain lag.However, both the area controller and the director were tirelessly urging him, which made him even more anxious.

The director is also a knowledgeable person, so he stopped disturbing after mentioning a word, but greeted the area controller and asked: "You just said that the crew responded that the plane landed unplanned because it was affected by an unexpected downdraft?"

"That's right, what did the crew say." The area controller confirmed.

"What a strong downdraft!" the director said in surprise.The Boeing 737 is not a small training plane with a single propeller, but a behemoth of dozens of tons. It is really rare that it can be crushed by the downdraft and unable to fly.The director looked at the radar screen, and asked again: "Where did they start to descend?"

The area controller recalled, pointing to a point on the radar screen: "It's the point after P37."

"Then take P37 as the center point, and aircraft are not allowed to enter within a radius of [-] nautical miles. Contact the general dispatch room and apply for a temporary restricted area." The director paused: "Also, inform the Urumqi Meteorological Observatory of the situation and ask them to reopen Analyze the weather intensity in the area. Also. Talk to Lanshan, Jianchuan, and Hanjing control to let them explain the situation in advance to the aircraft flying to our area. In addition, notify Blue Sky Airlines”

In the cockpit, Xu Cang's fierce words did not have the slightest effect, on the contrary, it angered the captain, who only heard him yelling back: "The plane is about to enter the artillery firing zone soon, you told us to stop because you want to let us stop." Are we being knocked out like a target? Without a stick, without a back trim, what do you think we should do?"

Xu Cang was even more angry. The captain was really hopeless, so he refuted loudly: "The plane dives at a large angle. If the stick is too fast and too fast, the load of the plane will increase rapidly, and you are still adjusting the trim. It will only make the load increase faster, and once the aircraft load exceeds the standard, the fuselage is likely to break."

However, the captain's mind is all about the artillery area now, how can he listen to Xu Cang's words.

In conventional cognition, if the plane is going down, you have to take the stick. This is an instinctive reaction, no matter for the pilot.But a really good pilot will not be dominated by instinct, but can always keep a clear mind to distinguish various situations.

The moment Xu Cang's voice fell, the first co-pilot suddenly shouted: "Brother, the plane has descended below 500 meters and entered the artillery firing zone."

The controller has not yet sent the news that the artillery fire zone has ceased activity, so what greets them below may be a round of artillery shells.Now the captain ignored Xu Cang's reminder, and the strength of the stick increased a bit, as if the plane went down a little bit, it would be a hell of ten deaths and no life.

"Are you guys listening to me?" Xu Cang's face was extremely gloomy, and he could see the captain's behavior of ignoring him. He could tolerate many things, but that didn't include putting his life in the hands of an old man. On the captain who lost his mind.

After Xu Cang's final questioning, there was still no response in the cockpit, or they didn't even have the energy to listen to what Xu Cang was saying, but they were just stubbornly implementing what they thought was right.

Unbearable, Xu Cang directly raised his foot and kicked it on the right trim wheel. Under the force, the trim wheel was directly stuck.

Xu Cang's behavior shocked the captain directly, he really didn't expect Xu Cang to be so bold that he started to interfere with their flight control.

"What are you doing, are you crazy?" the captain shouted.

Xu Cang's eyes were extremely cold: "Can you hear me talking, or are you looking for death?"

The captain who was repeatedly disturbed by Xu Cang also became angry: "Then below is the artillery firing area, let's just rush down like this, what do you think we should do?"

"I only know that if we enter the shelling area, we may not die. But if you insist on going your own way, we will die."

Now even the first co-pilot couldn't bear it any longer, and interjected, "Then don't worry about it?"

Xu Cang's voice was extremely firm: "That's right, don't worry about it!"

Now it is a dead end, there is no so-called foolproof solution, the only thing that can be done is to distinguish what is the more deadly and urgent problem.

Is the firing zone dangerous?Especially in the active artillery area.There is no doubt that it must be quite dangerous, but the problem is that when delineating the artillery firing area, in order to release accidents, it is usually much larger than the actual coverage of the artillery shells, and the people below will not point at them. They fought. On the whole, even if they entered the shelling area, the probability of being hit was not very high.

However, if the lever is used in a tough area and the trim is increased backwards, the aircraft itself will break or disintegrate due to excessive load without being hit by shells. It's the same, that is the movement of the fuselage starting to deform, which is quite dangerous.

At this time, the captain was simply stunned.Xu Cang doesn't care about other times. At this critical moment, when he has already explained that the airframe is going to be overwhelmed, if the captain can't wake up, then he doesn't have time to be friendly with the captain and come directly by himself.

"Don't move the trim, you can take the stick, don't pull it hard, pull it back slowly, don't rush to change it out, we have enough altitude. The downdraft will not last forever, and as the altitude decreases, the aerodynamic performance of the aircraft increases, and the aircraft itself It also counteracts the effects of the downdraft."

At this time, Xu Cang didn't look like a second co-pilot at all. On the contrary, he was the captain in the cockpit, directing everything.

It has to be said that Xu Cang's kick still has some effect.At least the captain calmed down a little bit, he didn't go back to trim anymore, and the movement with the lever was not so rough.

The dense raindrops hit the fuselage and made crackling noises. Apart from this, there were no other noises in the cockpit, which seemed extremely strange.

Suddenly the captain said: "We don't care about the height, what if we are hit by shells?"

At this critical juncture, Xu Cang seemed extremely decisive: "That is our fate!"
