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

Chapter 318 Lacking guidance from the ground, the plane can only rely on Lu Qingzhou's experience to perform a blind landing

This is a pair

Glittering eyes suspended in the darkness?
OMG!

Could it be that volcanoes and earthquakes have awakened the giant underwater monster hidden in the sea?

Inside the airport.

When people saw a pair of twinkling "big eyes" in the sky that were getting bigger and brighter, the first thing they thought of was a giant monster under the sea.

Even though these 'eyes' were always flashing, and were accompanied by a roar similar to that of a mechanical engine.

How can a sea monster blink its eyes constantly?
Sea monsters don't suffer from dry eyes.

Which sea monster's roar would be the roar of an engine?

But this idea is too illogical, and this is still the first thought that comes to people's minds.

Because now the airspace of the entire island is completely covered by volcanic ash.

Tsunamis were raging again on all sides of the island.

All escape routes have been blocked.

Now a pair of "big eyes" appeared in the sky. Apart from a giant underwater monster, could it be something else?
what?
Could it be an airplane's pilot light?
Ha ha!

This is even more ridiculous than the appearance of a giant underwater monster.

Nusa Tenggara Island is now no different from the hell in mythology.

Not to mention that Nusa Tenggara Island has been completely isolated from the outside world, there is no way for rescue forces to reach the island in such a short time.

Even if the island is not completely isolated for the time being.

Now Nusa Tenggara Island is experiencing tsunamis, earthquakes, volcanic lava and volcanic ash.

Which rescue worker would dare to risk his life or even death to rush to the island for rescue?
Therefore, no matter how optimistic a person is, they would rather believe that the owner of the pair of "eyes" is a giant underwater monster rather than a plane that comes to save them.

But as the roar in the sky became louder and louder.

Those 'eyes' also became brighter and brighter.

At this moment.

The people on the ground finally got a vague glimpse of the outline of this so-called "monster".

This is not some giant underwater monster.

It was clearly a large plane painted white.

airplane?

Inside the airport.

Almost everyone fell into a daze.

They all looked at the sky with their heads raised like stupid geese.

Boom boom. Boom boom.
The roar became louder and louder.

in the dark.

The outline of the plane that looked like a god descending from heaven became clearer and clearer.

At this moment.

People finally realized that they were not hallucinating, but that a plane really appeared out of thin air.

For a while.

The atmosphere, which had been extremely depressing, was suddenly ignited.

Tarmac.

"Look, it's a plane. It's here to pick us up."

"Woo woo woo, we are saved, we are saved."

"If a plane can get in, it means we can also get out by plane."
The people who had been despairing just now suddenly became optimistic again.

Some people were even so excited that they danced and waved their hands towards the sky.

At this time, many people were pouring out from all directions in the airport.

As these people ran towards the runway, they kept cheering for the planes in the sky.

This is not an airplane.

It is the hope for everyone present to survive.

Zhang Yuan seemed to have drained all his strength and sat down on the ground limply.

call.
call.
call.
He was breathing heavily.

Unconsciously, my eyes became moist.

Zhang Yuan didn't know that this plane was coming to rescue him and others.

But it doesn't matter. Because as long as a plane can get in, it means that the planes stranded on the island can also get out.

Now the whole island is covered in volcanic ash that blocks out the sky.

If you force take off.

The plane flew into the hot volcanic ash.

It's no different from committing suicide.

But now that a 'pioneer' has appeared, it means that there must be loopholes in the volcanic ash that covers the sky.

Find these vulnerabilities.

Doesn't that mean we have found a way to escape?

Yes.

Because the eruption of Nusa Tenggara volcano came without any warning.

So several flights were stranded at the island airport.

If all these flights were utilized, at least thousands of people could be successfully transported off the island.

According to relevant information from China, Nusa Tenggara Airport is equipped with a blind landing system.

However, the island's power facilities have been destroyed by earthquakes and volcanoes.

Therefore, the airport's blind landing system has long been ineffective.

In other words, if you want to land the plane successfully, you can only rely on the personal abilities of the captain and co-pilot.

Many people have this misunderstanding.

That is, the aircraft's blind landing system is a flight assistance system installed on the aircraft itself.

actually not.

The aircraft's blind landing system is divided into three parts.

They are the heading beacon that provides lateral guidance, the glide path beacon that provides vertical guidance, and the pointing beacon that provides distance guidance.

Each subsystem is composed of ground launch equipment and airborne equipment.

After the ground equipment and airborne facilities are connected, the autopilot can complete the blind landing and other actions such as alignment with the runway and subsequent landing.

Let’s put it simply and bluntly.

A blind landing is like sliding down a slide.

Walk along the slide track vertically, and there are protective handrails on both sides horizontally.

If the weather is bad (smog, rain, snow, etc.), the aircraft needs a set of equipment on the ground to guide it, and the pilot will descend using the signals received by the aircraft as a reference.

Therefore, the blind landing equipment installed on the aircraft itself is one of the aircraft's 'navigation compasses'.

Without guidance from ground equipment, the 'compass' cannot provide guidance assistance to the aircraft.

The pilot can only rely on his own experience to perform a blind landing.

So is blind landing like "landing with eyes closed", sliding down a "black road" to the bottom?
Actually not.

The so-called "blind landing" is because the pilot does not land the plane horizontally, but gradually decreases the altitude, so the vision and judgment will be greatly affected.

In general.

Airports will have equipment such as approach lighting, runway markings, and instrument landing systems.

There are also requirements for surrounding clearance conditions, electromagnetic environment, etc.

Prevent radio, bird or chemical fumes from interfering with instrument systems.

The aircraft is equipped with an instrument failure warning system, dual ILS receivers, go-around attitude guidance equipment, automatic throttle, rain removal equipment and other systems to assist in landing.

Even if the blind landing systems of the aircraft and airport fail, the aircraft can rely on these auxiliary systems for assistance.

So even if science and technology continue to advance.

The pilot still plays a decisive role.

Therefore, pilots need to undergo very rigorous and lengthy training and assessment before they are qualified to fly an aircraft.

even so.

The airline will also conduct annual refresher training and inspections for all its pilots.

Don't miss any blind spots.

just now.

Because the blind landing system installed on the C919 aircraft itself cannot be connected to the ground equipment at the airport.

So we want the plane to land safely.

They could only rely on Lu Qingzhou's own experience and skills to carry out the blind landing.
