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

Chapter 329: Right side is on fire, Lu Qingzhou's operation is completely dancing on the edge of a knife
just now.

All Lu Qingzhou could do was pray that the only thing that failed was the landing gear.

"Captain, the landing gear can't be retracted, what should we do?" Liang Dong was already sweating profusely from anxiety, and turned his head and yelled at Lu Qingzhou.

Lu Qingzhou said unhappily, "I'm not deaf, I know the landing gear can't be retracted."

The impact of the failure to retract the landing gear on the aircraft is undoubtedly huge.

But compared with the current situation.

It seems a little insignificant again.

Because the biggest function of the landing gear is to support the weight of the aircraft and absorb impact energy when the aircraft is parked, taxiing, and taking off and landing on the ground.

Let me put it bluntly.

The landing gear is like the wheels of a car.

But its structure is much more complicated than that of a wheel, and its strength is not on the same level.

After all, a behemoth weighing dozens or hundreds of tons crashes onto the runway at a speed of at least 200 kilometers per hour. The entire weight of the aircraft depends on the landing gear, as well as consuming and absorbing the impact energy of the aircraft when it lands.

In summary.

The main function of the landing gear is to withstand the gravity when the aircraft is parked, taxiing, taking off and landing on the ground.

Withstand, consume and absorb the impact and turbulence energy of the aircraft during landing and ground movement.

Braking during taxiing and sliding.

Control the aircraft while taking off and taxiing.

It's like the feet of a bird.

Although compared to their feet, birds' wings are undoubtedly more important.

But there comes a time when birds also fall to the ground, right?

Could it be possible to fly in the sky forever?
The same is true for airplanes.

Although the landing gear is not needed all the time, the plane has to land, right?
Or what if the fuel runs out?
but.

Now c919 has finally escaped from the sea of ​​fire.

There should be no possibility of forced landing for the time being.

Instead of thinking about what to do if the landing gear cannot be recovered, it is better to think about how to get out of the volcanic ash that is becoming increasingly thick.

"Increase the flaps and rudder lift, and help me pull the rudder to the left." Lu Qingzhou said loudly.

Liang Dong was startled.

Then he nodded immediately, "I understand."

The plane's flying attitude finally slowly returned to stability, then slowly turned left and flew towards the southern foothills of Nusa Tenggara Island.

Only successfully reached the southern foot of Nusa Tenggara Island.

Only then will they have a chance to break out of the volcanic ash encirclement.

Squeak, squeak, squeak. Squeak, squeak.
Just as the C919 had completed its turn and was flying towards the southern slope of the island.

It is not known whether the right engine of the plane had sucked in a large amount of volcanic ash, or had been "corroded" by the fire before takeoff, or whether Lu Qingzhou had used the "dry land onion pulling" method to keep the engine running at high load.

all in all.

Just as the C919 completed its turn and flew at an ultra-low altitude to avoid volcanic ash and headed towards the southern foothills of Nusa Tenggara Island.

The fuselage suddenly began to tremble slightly.

Not only that.

There was also a strange sound coming into the cabin.

The passengers who were just rejoicing that they had escaped safely in the previous second, became frightened birds in the next second.

Everybody was looking around.

Trying to find the source of this weird noise.

Huang Jia and Chen Bingbing also looked at each other.

Because they are both semi-professionals.

This strange sound indicates that there is something wrong with the plane.

It's just that we don't know where the fault occurred yet.

"what?"

At this moment.

Suddenly, a passenger sitting by the window let out a slight exclamation.

Then he pointed out of the window with a look of fear on his face and said in a trembling voice, "Look here."

People around saw this.

Come quickly.

I saw the engine under the right wing, and I didn't know when it started to burn with a small flame.

Airplane engine.

on fire?

Inside the cabin.

Almost everyone looked dejected and grief-stricken.

It’s over.

This time it's completely over.

cockpit.

Beep beep~~~beep beep~~~
The piercing sound of the fire alarm has begun.

Lu Qingzhou and Liang Dong looked at each other in surprise.

Hey!
What is supposed to come will always come.

Now the fire alarm sounded, and I finally felt relieved.

Right!

The plane was engulfed in flames for several seconds.

Such a big fire.

If nothing was lit, Lu Qingzhou would even suspect that the endless fire was an illusion.

Immediately afterwards, the right engine fault light also lit up.

Stone hammered.

Right engine failure.

He immediately reached over and turned off the fire alarm.

Then he immediately reached out and grabbed the throttle lever, pressing it twice in succession to disconnect the automatic throttle.

Followed by.

He pulled back the thrust handles, reducing the flow of fuel to the engine and further spreading the fire.

Complete the above three steps.

Lu Qingzhou immediately reset the starting handle to the cutoff position.

Then he pulled the fire alarm handle.

After pulling up the fire alarm handle, he immediately turned it to the left, cutting off the oil, gas and electricity supply to the engine.

Without the steady supply of fuel, the fire in the right engine gradually died down.

However, the price of controlling the fire was cutting off the engine's oil, gas and electricity supply.

Let me put it bluntly.

This means that both engines of the aircraft will lose the oil, gas and electricity supply.

There is no oil, gas or electricity supply.

These two engines have become decorations.

There is no engine to provide constant power.

This C919 passenger plane is just a big lump of iron.

It will crash straight into the sea.

In other words.

Now Lu Qingzhou has fallen into a vicious circle.

If you want to control the fire in the right engine, you must cut off the oil, gas and electricity supply to both engines.

However, without oil, gas and electricity supply, these two engines cannot provide sufficient power.

Both options lead to death.

However, Lu Qingzhou has a third method.

Drink poison to quench your thirst!

I saw him just finish all the above actions.

The fuel and electrical supply to the engine was restored immediately.

After the two engines received fuel and electricity supply, they immediately began to operate at high load, once again pushing the plane towards the southern foot of the island.

But the fire, which had already died down, began to 'expand' again.

The small flame has turned into a raging fire.

The fire alarm sounded again.

But the fire alarm lasted only a few seconds.

Lu Qingzhou immediately repeated the above operation again.

Turn off the fire alarm

Cut off the throttle

Retract thrust handle
Reset start handle
Pull up the fire alarm handle
The fire was once again contained, but the plane once again suffered a loss of power.

However, after the plane glided for about another kilometer, Lu Qingzhou once again restored the fuel and gas supply to the engine.

Then cut off

Restore

Cut off again

Restore again.
Yes!

They are now caught in a vicious circle.

What Lu Qingzhou is doing now is to try to prolong this vicious cycle as long as possible.

As long as the plane successfully breaks out of the volcanic ash encirclement.

Lu Qingzhou can climb the plane to an altitude of several thousand meters.

By the time.

He had the money to fly a glide plane and completely put out the fire that had begun to spread.

Just like the way he dealt with the fire he encountered more than a month ago,
But every move Lu Qingzhou makes must be quick.

And there cannot be any mistakes in the sequence.

He is now like dancing on the edge of a knife.

If there is even the slightest mistake, one will be in an irretrievable situation.
