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

Chapter 403 The only escape route was also completely cut off?

"Damn it, the onboard system indicates that the tail wing is severely damaged. We may not be able to hold on for much longer. We have to make an emergency landing." Liang Dong turned his head and shouted to Lu Qingzhou.

Lu Qingzhou was now sweating profusely from anxiety, and couldn't help but retort, "What are you yelling about, what are you yelling about?"

"Didn't I know the tail wing was damaged? Wasn't I trying to find a solution?"

Previously in the country.

Lu Qingzhou knew what was going on.

Because he knew that it was in the country, and there was a professional ground team guiding him to make an emergency landing.

But this is Africa.

Africa is in the midst of gunfire.

Africa has the best matching mechanism for human beings.

It is difficult to land normally, let alone when the aircraft is seriously damaged.

So this time he really had no idea.

But there is no bottom anymore.

We have to get through this level as well.

at this time.

Liu Changjian came over, kicked Liang Dong, and signaled him to move aside with his eyes.

Liang Dong was finally pardoned.

Hurry up and make room for Liu Changjian.

After Liu Changjian sat back in the co-pilot seat, he quickly glanced at the navigation system and said in a deep voice, "It is unrealistic for us to return to Saudi Arabia or make an emergency landing in Djibouti now."

"We have to cross the Red Sea again to return to Saudi Arabia, which will take at least 40 minutes. I don't know if the plane can last that long."

“As for the forced landing in Djibouti? Djibouti is in the south of Eritrea, and the capital of Eritrea, Asmara, is in the north of the country. We have to cross the whole of Eritrea to reach Djibouti, which is even more dangerous.”

So Lu Qingzhou also had a bitter look on his face.

No words were spoken.

Just shook his head.

To be honest, he didn't know if the plane could last that long.

Don't think that you can rest easy just because the plane has climbed to an altitude of over 10,000 meters.

Now the tail wing of the aircraft has been severely damaged, so the aircraft's balance system has been destroyed and its maneuverability has been greatly reduced.

If the crew is unlucky and gets caught in turbulent airflow, they may even lose control of the aircraft.

Then you can only wait for death.

Eritrea's climate is very complex. It is located in the East African grasslands and has both a tropical savanna climate and a tropical marine climate.

So there’s not much else, just a lot of wind.

Especially typhoons that are extremely lethal.

If you get sucked in, there is almost no chance of survival.

If the aircraft has not lost stability, the pilot can avoid these "gates of hell" in advance with the warning of weather radar.

But now the tail of the plane is damaged and its flexibility is greatly reduced.

When you encounter these "gates of hell", you have no choice but to face them head-on.

"The cabin is fine and no one is injured." At this time, Xu Yichen finally returned.

Lu Qingzhou immediately said, "Go again and ask Director Liu. There is no other airport in Eritrea where we can make an emergency landing. Our plane has a problem and we can't fly for much longer."

"Okay." Xu Yichen agreed.

A few minutes later.

Xu Yichen, who had returned from the trip, looked helpless. "Eritrea does have a dozen civil airports, but they are mostly small civil airports. Our plane is too big and does not have the conditions for forced landing."

"Besides, the civil war is raging in the country right now, and he doesn't know which airport can provide conditions for an emergency landing."

"Damn it." After hearing Liang Dong's words, Lu Qingzhou immediately cursed, "There are obstacles in front and Japanese soldiers behind." "But a living person can't be suffocated to death by urine, Captain Changjian." He turned his head to look at Liu Changjian and said in a serious voice, "I will fly the plane towards Djibouti, you turn on the public channel and keep calling. If the airport tower hears our request for forced landing, they should respond to us. If there is no response, we can't make it to Djibouti, so we can only make an emergency landing in the desert."

Because the return voyage to Saudi Arabia requires crossing the Red Sea.

Forced landing in the vast ocean.

It's no different than suicide.

Although it is also dangerous to cross Eritrea now.

But Djibouti is closer after all.

And along the way there are either grasslands or deserts.

Very flat.

It is conducive to emergency landing of aircraft.

"Okay." Liu Changjian is also a ruthless man who doesn't talk much.

He also knew that this was the only way at the moment.

So I didn't say much and just nodded in agreement.

Liang Dong hesitated and said, "What if the airport they replied to doesn't meet the conditions for an emergency landing?!"

"It's good enough that we have a runway for an emergency landing now. A beggar is complaining that the food is rotten, right?!" Lu Qingzhou said unhappily.

Whether it is a military airport or a civilian airport, there are levels.

Usually the grades are based on the length and width of the runway.

Civil airports are divided into six levels from small to large: A, B, C, D, E, and F.

Among them, 4F is the highest level, with a runway length of more than 3600 meters, which can accommodate super-large aircraft with a wingspan of about 80 meters.

For example, the world's largest passenger aircraft, the Airbus A380, has a wingspan of about 80 meters.

The second is the 4E-level airport, with a runway length between 3000 and 3600 meters, which can accommodate heavy aircraft with a wingspan of about 65 meters.

Generally speaking, only 4F and 4E civil airports can handle the take-off and landing of international flights.

If it is below 4E, for example a 4D airport, the runway is between 2400 and 3000 meters long and can only accommodate aircraft with a wingspan of less than 52 meters, so it cannot normally be used as an international airport.

The Airbus A350-900 that Lu Qingzhou and his crew were flying had a wingspan of 57 meters, making it a definitely heavy aircraft.

Therefore, except for 4F and 4E airports, other airports do not have the conditions for emergency landing.

But still the same sentence.

A beggar complains about the bad food?!
They don’t know how long they can hold on now. As long as there is an airport that can accommodate them and allow them to make an emergency landing, they will be lucky.

otherwise.

If the plane can't hold on, they can only choose to make an emergency landing in the desert or prairie.

Whether you live or die at that time depends on your luck.

Sirte is an important city in central Eritrea and one of the first cities where the civil war broke out.

In recent decades.

As Xiaguo enterprises gradually go abroad, there are now Xiaguo factories and hardworking Xiaguo workers in many countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America.

The city of Sirte is no exception.

Because there are two factories invested by Xiaguo enterprises in the city. Although they are small in scale, the number of Xiaguo workers is still as high as more than 300.

However, since this area was the first place where riots broke out in Nu, the embassy had already sent a working group to the city before the civil war in Nu broke out.

According to the organization and coordination of the working group, about 300 Xiaguo workers have now been gathered in the waiting hall of Sirte Airport, waiting for the evacuation plane from the capital.

What they don't know is.

The country had announced the closure of its airspace an hour ago.

In other words.

The only escape route for this group of Xia workers was also completely cut off.
