Joining Sichuan Airlines starts with rescuing the captain of a powerful country

Chapter 208 What is an 'Afghanistan-style' landing?
"Sit tight"

Lu Qingzhou shouted loudly.

The left hand jerks the control stick, and the right hand immediately increases the flap degree.

Liang Dong was not idle either.

While firmly controlling the rudder, also pull down the left and right elevators.

The nose of the Airbus A319 passenger plane immediately pointed down, diving towards the beam of light like a diver.

Boom boom. Boom boom.
The sound of the aircraft engine was like the roar of a thunderclap.

The extreme speed also affects the airflow fluctuations around the fuselage.

So the turbulent airflows were like whips, hitting the aircraft fuselage hard.

The aircraft is like shaking a mike, not only bearing the lash of these invisible whips, but also bearing the overload caused by rapid decline.

Click, click, click.
The huge amount of overload even pressed the fuselage and began to deform.

If the overload continues to increase.

This specially modified Airbus A319 passenger plane is even at risk of disintegrating in the air.

Civilian airliners are not military aircraft.

Although the various systems of military aircraft are far less sophisticated than those of civilian airliners, and the driving experience is far less relaxed than those of civilian airliners, military aircraft have rough skin, thick flesh, and high quality that civilian airliners can never make up for.

Not just military aircraft.

Other military supplies are also of better quality than civilian products.

Are the millions of luxury cars on the market comparable to a military off-road vehicle from Lao Lu?
The appearance and leather sofa actually beat Lao Lu instantly.

But the power and safety performance are directly eliminated.

Therefore, even military aircraft do not dare to attempt the 'Afghan style' landing easily.

Now there is actually a civilian airliner trying it.

What is this if not jumping back and forth behind the closed door of hell?
cockpit.

Chen Bingbing and Xu Yichen were holding on to their seat belts tightly. Only seat belts could give them a sense of security now.

cabin.

Bi Nan and the others had also received the notice a long time ago.

Therefore, several of the injured had been firmly secured by their seat belts. At the same time, they quickly returned to their positions and fastened their seat belts.

a few minutes ago.

After they heard the warning from the captain Lu Qingzhou, they felt that Lu Qingzhou was making a fuss out of a molehill.

But now I understand Lu Qingzhou's "good intentions".

If they had discounted Lu Qingzhou's 'order', they would have been beaten to pieces and bleeding by now.

It doesn't matter if they break.

If it hurts the wounded, it will cost the person his life.

dive.

dive.

Continuous dive.

In just a few minutes, flight 3u5578 plummeted from an altitude of 5000 meters to an altitude of about meters.

But it's not enough.

If you want to break through the barrier of dark clouds, you have to keep descending.

Lu Qingzhou's face was solemn, and he pressed the control stick with his left hand to keep the plane in a downward dive.

Therefore, the flight trajectory of flight 3u5578 on the radar screen is like the daily moving average of A-shares.

A thousand miles away.

Huangtian Bachang Station.

tower.

Wang Yifan stared at the radar screen.

His lips were already trembling a little.

"Madman. The captain of flight 5578 is really a madman. Who gave him the courage to pilot a civilian airliner to land in the 'Afghan style'?" "Not to mention the bad weather now, even if the sky is clear, as long as one If the operation is not careful, there is a risk of loss of life.”

"It's okay if he doesn't take his life seriously. Why should he not take other people's lives seriously?"

As chief of staff of the Huangtianba Field Station Headquarters, Wang Yifan is very familiar with 'Afghanistan-style' landings.

The so-called 'Afghan style' landing, officially known as a dive tactical landing, is mainly used by military transport aircraft to land at airports in high-threat environments.

The people who invented and promoted the dive tactical landing were all Lao Maozi Air Force.

In the 80s, Lao Maozi invaded Afghanistan.

The early military operations went very smoothly, and Lao Maozi quickly took control of the capital and major cities of the 'Imperial Cemetery'.

But friends who have often fought in wars know that Afghanistan's prestigious reputation as the 'Imperial Cemetery' is not for nothing.

There is only a wrong name, how can there be a wrong nickname?

With Lao Maozi's comprehensive strength at the time, it shouldn't be too normal to win against a small and poor country like Afghanistan.

But it is too difficult to completely conquer.

So Lao Maozi quickly fell into the vast ocean of Afghan people.

Afghanistan is mountainous.

Transportation is basically based on walking, and communication is basically based on shouting.

Therefore, Lao Maozi's mechanized troops cannot be deployed.

If Lao Maozi wants to eliminate the guerrillas in Afghanistan, he can only rely on the air force.

The Air Force needs airports.

But most of the airports built by Lao Maozi are also in high mountains.

Aircraft, especially large transport aircraft, are vulnerable to attacks by man-portable surface-to-air missiles such as the Stinger.

At that time, Afghan guerrillas often ambush near the airport and launch American-made Stinger missiles to attack Lao Maozi's military aircraft. Most of the crashed Lao Maozi aircraft were shot down on the take-off and landing routes of the airport.

Among them, large transport aircraft were shot down the most.

This is because the transport aircraft has already started to recover fuel when it lands, its flying speed is very slow, and its flight route is relatively fixed, making it difficult to avoid missile attacks.

In order to prevent the plane from being shot down, the experienced crew of Lao Maozi adopted a bold and novel landing method.

——The aircraft approaches the airport at a high altitude of more than 3500 meters, directly cancels the five-sided or four-sided flight, does not circle, and suddenly dives at a large angle when approaching the runway, landing directly on the runway in a nearly vertical crash landing mode.

Although this flying maneuver is very dangerous, it is really effective in dodging Stinger missiles.

It can also greatly shorten the time of the aircraft landing process.

According to the technical statistics of the Lao Maozi Air Force, the 'Afghan style' landing saves more than half the time compared to conventional landing.

The advantages of diving tactical landing are obvious, but the shortcomings are more fatal.

A lot of risk needs to be taken.

The first is that the use of 'dive tactical landing' requires very high requirements for the aircraft's impact resistance.

If the quality of the aircraft is not up to par, using this landing method rashly will directly lead to damage to the aircraft or even disintegration in the air.

In particular, there are very high quality requirements for aircraft landing gear.

Because the impact on the landing gear was particularly huge.

Secondly, the technical requirements for the crew are very high. Not every pilot can master this technology proficiently. Without 180 times of hard training, it would be a crime to rashly adopt this landing method.

Because 'dive tactical landing' requires very high angles, if the landing angle is too large, the aircraft's landing gear will bear tremendous pressure, which may cause the landing gear to break directly.

If the landing angle is too small, the effect of rapid landing will not be achieved at all.

Therefore, those who dare to use this landing method are all ruthless people.

This is because there have been cases where the landing gear was broken due to the landing angle being too large, causing the plane to overshoot the runway and crash.

So rashly using a 'dive tactical landing' is equivalent to risking your own life.

Also, this landing method places great demands on the weight of the aircraft.

20-ton transport aircraft like the Y-17 and C-200 are already at their limit.

If a 5-ton transport aircraft like the C-400 dares to do this, it will crash.

It's no different than committing suicide.
