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

Chapter 350 Breaking out of the cumulonimbus clouds, Yongshu Island is right in front of us
"Decision altitude. The aircraft's altitude is already below the decision altitude." Liu Changjian's eyes were fixed on the altimeter.

But Lu Qingzhou's eyes were still dark.

Except for the occasional moment of light brought by a flash of lightning.

His sight still couldn't penetrate the darkness ahead.

In other words.

Now the C919 is still trapped in the cumulonimbus cloud.

The height of this cumulonimbus cloud is even lower than expected.

The aircraft's altitude is now lower than the decision altitude. If it insists on lowering the altitude, it may fail to land and crash directly on the runway.

Lu Qingzhou was already sweating profusely from his anxiety.

But he had no time to wipe the sweat from his forehead, but instead controlled the joystick firmly with both hands.

Trying to control this mad beast.

"I can't see. I still can't fucking see." Lu Qingzhou was so anxious that he cursed.

Liu Changjian was like an ant on hot pot.

He really wanted Lu Qingzhou to pull up the nose of the plane and take off again, but he was worried that if he did so, he would be trapped and killed in the cumulonimbus cloud.

So they are now in a complete dilemma.

Especially when the aircraft's altitude is already below the decision altitude.

It felt more like being kicked hard at the gate of hell.

The role of decision altitude is similar to that of decision speed. One is the data that needs to be paid attention to when the plane is landing, and the other is the data that needs to be paid attention to when the plane is taking off.

1958 years.

Jet aircraft have been widely used in the civil aviation industry.

But unlike the propeller planes that came before them, jet planes were faster and could fly higher.

At the same time, it is more affected by the weather.

So since jet aircraft have been widely used, the concept of "decision altitude" has been born.

So what is the role of decision altitude?

That is, before the aircraft lands, it has a full grasp of the aircraft's position and external visual conditions.

This height is the decision height.

From a flying perspective, the decision altitude is the maximum you can descend before deciding to continue the descent using visual methods.

If the pilot has not established that the approach meets the required visual conditions before passing the decision altitude, a go-around must be performed.

speak English.

After descending the decision altitude, the pilot must land based on external visual conditions.

If this condition is not met, the aircraft may crash or run off the runway during landing, and other dangerous accidents may occur.

But it is different from the decision speed.

Decision altitude is not a necessary condition for the pilot to decide to land or take off, but it is a reference condition.

If in an emergency.

When the plane is about to land or has already landed, the pilot can still increase the throttle and pull the stick to take off.

If the aircraft encounters an emergency, it can attempt to land even if the decision altitude conditions are not met.

This does not conflict with the principle of 'eight shoulds and one oppose'.

What is the 'eight shoulds and one objection'?
Those who need to make a go-around should make a go-around, those who need to fly through the clouds should fly through the clouds, those who need to return should return, those who need to make an alternate landing should make an alternate landing, those who need to fly around should fly around, those who need to wait should wait, those who need to remind should remind, and those who need to take action should take action; we are opposed to blind and reckless actions.

As an experienced veteran pilot and Sichuan Airlines' safety model, Lu Qingzhou always keeps in mind the "eight shoulds and one objection" principle.

Never take risks.

But today.

You have to take risks.

Although the plane had descended from the decision altitude, he still couldn't see the airport runway, but he had no intention of pulling the nose of the plane up for a go-around.

Instead, continue to press the bar and lower your head.

Continue to dive the plane downward.

The lower the aircraft's altitude, the greater the impact of turbulent airflow it will suffer.

This C919 is like a broken drum being beaten by thousands of people, being whipped by these invisible whips again and again.

Inside the cabin.

The panicked passengers were too frightened to scream.

He could only cover his head with a look of despair.

Even Bi Nan and Huang Jia looked miserable.

And in the cockpit.

Liu Changjian's eyes were wide open as he stared at the altimeter, not even daring to blink.

pitch black.

Total darkness.

Lu Qingzhou is like an old captain, desperately maneuvering this broken ship in a desperate fight against the storm. 500 meters

400 meter

300 meters.
The plane was getting lower and lower.

It is only two or three hundred meters away from the ground.

For a high-speed airplane, this distance can be reached in the blink of an eye.

"I can't see. Why the hell can't I see?" Lu Qingzhou was so anxious that he wanted to crush the joystick in his hand to pieces.

But just as his psychological defenses were about to collapse.

When I couldn't bear it anymore and was about to pull up the nose of the plane.

far away.

On the pitch-black ground.

He seemed to see a ray of light.

These bright lights are like the starry sky on a rainy night.

It's blurry because of the layers of clouds.

But just a moment later, he could see the lights clearly.

It turned out to be two rows of runway lights shining with snow-white light.

next moment.

Lu Qingzhou's brain seemed to be filled with energy, and he instantly became excited.

"I see it, I see it, I see the airport runway lights, we finally made it out." He shouted like an excited child.

Liu Changjian sitting next to him.

Finally, I breathed a sigh of relief.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and slumped down in his seat.

But after just a moment, Liu Changjian sat up straight again.

Because he knew that although he had now broken out of the cumulonimbus clouds.

But if the plane didn't land successfully, it wouldn't be considered a victory.

"Deploy the spoilers, retract the flaps and ailerons, lower the rudder back to position, and release the landing gear." Lu Qingzhou shouted.

Liu Changjian immediately reached out.

He completed the above instructions with great agility.

But just as he released the landing gear, the landing gear fault light came on again.

Saw the landing gear fault light.

Lu Qingzhou felt as disgusted as if he had fucked a local dog.

What the hell.

Nothing went smoothly today.

The landing gear had already malfunctioned when he was flying the plane to escape from the island.

But at that time the main task was to save everyone on the plane.

So how can we care whether there is any fault in the landing gear?

But now the plane is about to land.

A landing gear failure would most likely be a fatal blow to them.

but.

The plane's current altitude is less than two hundred meters.

The arrow is on the string.

Never mind the landing gear failure.

Even without the landing gear, Lu Qingzhou had to bite the bullet and crash down.

Fuck you.

Die or die!

Yongshu Island.

Zhao Yonghua, Qian Shijia and others finally saw the C919 that was swaying with its navigation lights on.

When they saw the C919 flying towards the airport runway like a drunk, they couldn't help but sweat.

The flying attitude is so unstable.

There is a high possibility that the plane will run off the runway and crash when landing.

But it's too late to remind you now.

So the two of them could only give orders and ask everyone to prepare for rescue.

The entire Yongshu Island.

With the arrival of C919, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
