After Becoming a Little |

"That has a boost switch on it!That's a knob, like the one on a microwave!It has the letters ACTN on it, ACTN!"

"I found it!" My mother raised her hand and pressed the knob: "And then?"

"awesome!That's great—" The engineer on the ground almost jumped up: "What gear is it now? 』

"MAN! Manual transmission!"

In the gear position, MAN means manual transmission, while AUTO means automatic transmission.

That knob only has these two gears, and it is now pointing to the manual transmission—the ground control center doesn't need to explain the reason, she also understands what happened.

If the switch is automatic, then when the plane climbs, the air pressure in the cabin will be automatically adjusted, and a large amount of air will be sucked into the cabin through the suction of the two engines to maintain the breathable air pressure inside.

But if it is a manual transmission, then the driver needs to adjust the relevant issues by himself-obviously the driver set the boost switch in the cabin to manual, but they forgot about it.

Maybe I forgot?Or did they not find out?

You must know that the oxygen mask in the cockpit will not fall off automatically. They should have fallen into the first stage of hypoxia symptoms in this unknowing state, leading to confusion or even loss of thinking ability, and finally caused The airliner lost control.

Subconsciously, he glanced at the main warning light and it was still on. Lu Wuxia understood that this should be the light on here when the oxygen mask in the cabin fell off - so what the hell are these two pilots doing? ?

This thing is so big and a light is on!They won't ask about the situation in the cabin? !

The main warning light is connected to the pressure and temperature detection system. If there is a problem with both sides, this light may turn on. There is no response. Lu Wuxia can only blame it on the other party who may have passed out earlier, such as the oxygen mask fell off. Before.

『Adjust the booster switch to AUTO position!Confirm that the green MANUAL logo appears on the indicator light! ”The voice of the engineer at the ground control center was trembling: “Quick!Please do it quickly! 』

"Understood, it's an automatic gear." Lu Wuxia turned it over, turned to look at the young brother who had gradually regained consciousness in the co-driver next to him: "Are you okay?"

"...Thank you, I...I feel a little uncomfortable...but it's okay." The young brother gasped: "I used to be a scuba diver, I know my current situation... Is there anything I can do?"

"One good news, one bad news."

"?"

"The good news is that we have successfully restored the air pressure in the cabin, and the people in the plane can breathe normally."

"Really?" The young brother couldn't help but increase the volume even though he was dizzy: "This is great!"

"But the bad news is that we lost an engine." Lu Wuxia turned to look outside the cockpit.

She couldn't see too many traces of thick smoke and flames from this angle, but not too many did not mean that there were no traces. The entire dashboard was full of prompt messages due to the loss of the left engine.

The pilot of the Tornado fighter stared at her, then silently pulled the joystick, and controlled the fighter jet to fly back.

Another Tornado fighter jet came up and stuck it not far from the cockpit, gesturing to Lu Wuxia that he would ensure the clearing of the flight path for her in front.

The young brother looked at the plane outside the window in a daze: "They... what are they doing?"

Lu Wuxia frowned, turned to look at the dashboard: "Nothing."

Nothing really, the newcomer was not much different from the ones that came before it.

If I have to say it, it's just that the newcomer does not have live ammunition mounted.

The one that was mounted before has now retreated to the shooting position.

Then locked on to Apollo 522, which lost its left engine...

"What can we do now?" the young brother asked again.

"Save yourself——" Lu Wuxia grabbed the joystick with his hand: "Control tower, Apollo 522, please guide me. I need the operation procedure after the single engine of A320XLR fails."

"Received by the ground control center, I have engineers here to provide you with the operation process!" 』

"I will try to make an emergency landing at the nearest airport. If it doesn't work, I will drive the plane to no-man's land." Lu Wuxia pursed her lips: "So, give me some time..."

"..."

PS: continue today

Chapter 672 0661-Self-help · What is Surprise (Good Afternoon

After checking the display on the dashboard, Lu Wuxia officially sentenced Zuo Fa to death.

It's hopeless, wait for death, farewell! ·

But silence is today's flight, she can't say goodbye...

She still had to carry on, at least she had to stabilize her right hair and adjust her flying posture.

"We treat this plane as if it just took off from the ground, and repeat the take-off process after a single engine fails! The engineer of the ground control center did not know what kind of tome he carried, and the sound of turning the pages was like waves: "First, reach the takeoff decision speed!" 』

The normal take-off decision speed is that the plane has sprinted on the runway to a high speed that cannot be stopped. At this time, even if one engine of the plane fails, the pilot must judge whether to continue flying or stop at risk.

Before this speed, the length of the runway will be enough for the plane to stop, but once this critical speed is reached, the plane is likely to rush out, so even a single-engine take-off is safer than aborted take-off.

"V1." Lu Wuxia chatted with the ground aviation communication in an orderly manner: "Turn the wheel...to confirm that the engine has failed."

Said that Lu Wuxia directly pressed the warning button, and stopped the harsh beeping.

Call!

Shout out!

At worst, if you fall to your death, the headlights will flash when you see the lights, don't beep!

"good very good! ”The ground control center was in a hurry, knowing that it was not good at all: “Don’t worry!Listen to us, first you have to adjust the angle of the flight attitude to lift the aircraft, 12.5! 』

"Adjust the flight attitude and raise the head to 12.5 degrees." Lu Wuxia repeated his operation: "I am following the guidance of the SRS."

The attitude display on the instrument panel shows the current reading, and the whole aircraft is gradually adjusting the flight attitude.

The current electronic flight instrument system integrates many things. In addition to the attitude display on the EFIS, there are also the main flight display PFD and the navigation display ND. This thing is an important instrument for monitoring the flight attitude and heading during aircraft driving.

But in fact, if you haven't studied it professionally, looking at the thing is just a bunch of lines spinning around.

Lu Wuxia is lucky, as she said, blessed by her daughter—she personally got to know the A320 and the dashboard of this plane are exactly the same, and these readings can barely be memorized by virtue of her strong memory ability.

The young brother next to him was also nervously looking at the dashboard in front of him. He had a commercial flight qualification certificate, but he was not yet ready to fly a large passenger plane, especially in this special situation after the failure of a single engine.

So neither Lu Wuxia nor the ground control center pinned their hopes on him.

"After FMGC detects engine failure, you need to increase the target's safe climb speed! 』

The control tower seemed to be affected by Lu Wuxia's composure, but gradually regained her composure, comforting her: "Let's take our time, we still have time." 』

"No, we don't have much time. If we can't resume a stable flight as soon as possible, we can't consider the emergency landing plan, and the passengers on the plane will die-we are all aware of the consequences."

The ground control center was silent for a moment, and had nothing to say for a while.

Obviously, they also know that this result is likely to be the final result.

It can even be said that under normal circumstances—in most cases, the final result is that the plane crashes into a ball of fire.

But there was something in the other party's words. As a person who most likely had military service experience, what she was talking about was not the crash of the plane, but the Tornado One fighter jet that was loaded with live ammunition and firmly occupied the shooting position behind the plane.

The cruising range of the A320XLR is obtained in exchange for the increased fuel tanks. When the A340-500 flew the longest route in the world, the weight of aviation fuel loaded was ten times the weight of passengers. Compared with the A320XLR, although it is not so exaggerated, it is Pretty much the same.

I should really thank Airbus, they always consider customers so thoughtfully. At the beginning of the design of this aircraft, there are three additional tanks that can be disassembled according to the needs of the airline’s route—additional fuel tanks.

Nowadays, the part connecting the wing and the cabin has two huge additional fuel tanks above and below. Perhaps these fuel tank positions will be used to increase the storage capacity when flying short-distance routes, but now it is flying intercontinental routes. It is full of oil, enough to turn it into a huge incendiary bomb.

The safety of 180 passengers is of course important, but compared to such a large passenger plane crashing in a densely populated area and repeating the consequences of the 911/[-] incident, the German Air Force would rather grit their teeth and shoot it down in a relatively open area.

The death toll in the September 911 terrorist attack is close to [-]. The difference between four-digit numbers and three-digit numbers can be seen at a glance by those who don’t know how to count. Moreover, what Germany is most afraid of now is terrorist attacks and extremism, and then comes from the euro Financial threats in economic zones.

Although in the German region, the number of deaths from terrorist attacks is significantly lower than that of normal car accidents.

The ground control center had no way of directing whether the Gust One in the sky should fire or not, and they also knew what dire consequences it would cause if they hesitated.

But who would?

Even if there is still 1% hope, they still want to try, try to give 100% effort to save the people in the steel cage tens of thousands of feet above.

Those are not 180 simple names, but 188 daughters, sons, fathers or mothers, all of whom have their own families behind them, and even future scientists, entrepreneurs and more outstanding people.

"...We still have hope, don't give up. 』

"I know, so I'm sitting here." The mother blamed interrupted the comfort of the ground personnel: "Now tell me what else you can do next, I'm climbing speed...now increase to safe climbing speed +15 knots. "

"Now... now the target will replace your side-slip indicator, do you know what a side-slip indicator is?" 』

"Okay, I know the target, I see it."

Lu Wuxia turned his attention to the top of the EFIS, and a symbol that looked like an 8 was displayed on the top.

In fact, this is two small triangles successfully connected together, which means that she has no problem with this step.

"Now monitor the vertical speed, you can see a green reading next to it, right where I just said it!"Don’t worry, take your time, we can find—”

"I said that I can understand the instruments. The instruments of the A320XLR have not changed much. Airbus also knows that it costs money to train new professional pilots. Spending money means increasing costs and reducing aircraft sales."

Lu Wuxia said coldly: "Now you just need to tell me the operation process, don't talk nonsense, time is precious."

The young guy next to him stared at the dashboard: "I'll help you monitor the vertical speed and altimeter!"

"Observe the positive change of the radio altimeter, and try to perform the wheel retraction action. 』The engineer of the ground control center made the sound of flipping the paper, and was very close to the microphone. It seemed that he was afraid that Lu Wuxia would not be able to hear clearly. Stay centered! 』

"Understood, adjustments are in progress... Confirm that it is centered, and then?"

"When the target is centered, adjust the rudder trim! ’ The engineer explained: ‘In this way, the aircraft will provide the least amount of power assist, and can provide the best performance to ensure continued flight... Sorry, I shouldn’t have said that. 』

"Where is the selector?" My mother looked around the dashboard strangely, but couldn't find the selector all of a sudden.

"Here!" The young brother found the knob in a position similar to the armrest box of a car: "This!"

Lu Wuxia turned her head to look, and grabbed the knob with her hand: "I found it."

"Twist selector trim - not too fast, never too fast! ’ the engineer added: ‘One degree per second!Please, take your time with this one!The adjustment range is between 15 and 18 degrees! 』

"Understood, one degree per second, correct it." Lu Wuxia stared at the EFIS: "Single engine failure, the adjustment range is 15-18."

There is a very simple degree meter next to the knob, which looks like the dial of a square electronic watch. The front is a capital R, and the back is an ever-increasing degree display such as 13.5, 13.6, and 13.7.

The young brother felt his stomach convulsed due to tension. He rolled his throat, subconsciously looked at the trembling of his hands caused by excessive adrenaline secretion and the sequelae of hypoxia, and then looked down at the steady dog Dang, the precise and smooth hand like a mechanical arm can't help but be amazed by this magical woman.

The plane was finally adjusted to 17.8 before it was trimmed. Under the guidance of the ground control center, Lu Wuxia pressed the confirmation button of "HDG TRK", which is an option for autopilot.

After it is determined that the aircraft has been trimmed and followed the flight guidance, the aircraft can be switched to autopilot mode as long as the aircraft altitude with a stable attitude is greater than 400 feet AGL.

The A320XLR, which was falling at an angle, finally returned to its normal flight attitude. Although the speed slowed down due to the loss of an engine, fortunately, the air is not as complicated as the ground. As long as the flight path is confirmed to be clear, the aircraft can maintain Keep flying in this posture - until the fuel is exhausted...
