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

Chapter 67: The plane landed successfully in the pouring rain

Lu Qingzhou is not a reckless man.

Although he is nicknamed "Lu Yanwang" by insiders.

But this is the biggest misunderstanding about him among insiders.

Actually.

Lu Qingzhou is a very cautious pilot.

Without complete certainty, he would not risk his own life or the lives of more than a hundred people on the plane.

Moreover, the Civil Aviation Administration of China has very strict management of civil aviation pilots.

For example, when the altitude of a passenger plane is at the decision altitude, the passenger plane must be flown according to the principle of "eight yes and one objection".

This is because pilots face greater pressure and complicated procedures when landing at the airport.

Therefore, strict implementation of the "eight yes and one objection" principle will be of great help to pilots in controlling passenger aircraft.

So what is it that 'eight should be opposed to one'? !
  ——A go-around should be a go-around, a cloud-piercing should be made, a return should be made, a diversion should be made, a detour should be made, a wait should be made, a reminder should be given, and a hand should be made; objections Blind and reckless.

If Lu Qingzhou is really as 'reckless' as insiders say.

I have been kicked out by Sichuan Airlines a long time ago.

The license may even be revoked by the Civil Aviation Administration of China.

"Sichuan Airlines 7758, radar service terminated, frequency modulation 152.33, accepting command from the MAS tower." The voice of the approach controller rang on the communication channel.

Liang Dong immediately repeated, "Radar service terminated, frequency modulation 152.33, accept command from MAS tower, 7758."

After a few seconds.

Liang Dong has already contacted MAinzhou Tower, "MAinzhou Tower, this is Sichuan Airlines 7758, accepting your command."

"Sichuan Airlines 7758, I saw you on the radar, correct the sea pressure to 1002, maintain the altitude at 500." The tower controller's voice immediately rang in the communication channel.

Liang Dong, this emotionless repeater, once again repeated the tower control instructions.

Lu Qingzhou immediately lowered the flap degree by 1 degree.

Raise the left aileron 3 degrees and lower the right aileron 3 degrees.

Then push the rod head gently.

The Airbus A320 aircraft's fuselage immediately tilted to the right.

The nose of the machine is down.

Plunging into a thick cloud and mist.

slow down.

Continue to slow down.

Lu Qingzhou reached out and pulled down the speed brake.

The speed of the passenger plane gradually decreased from 280km/h to 210km/h.

"The altitude dropped too fast, raise the flaps by 5 degrees." Liang Dong stared at the instrument panel with both eyes. When he found that the plane was descending too fast, he quickly reminded him.

Lu Qingzhou immediately stretched out his hand to adjust the flap degree.

In just a few seconds, the aircraft's flight attitude returned to stability again.

Don't look at airplanes flying freely in the sky.

Actually.

If the flight attitude is unstable, it is easy to cause a flight accident.

So the co-pilot must be alert at all times.

If any abnormality is found, immediately loudly remind the captain to make adjustments.

This is where the co-pilot comes in.

Check for deficiencies and fill them.

at this time.

This Airbus A320 passenger plane seems to be trapped in chaos.

There was a hazy gray mist all around.

The view was even blocked by thick fog.

Chen Bingbing's little fists were clenched tightly.

Both eyes were staring straight ahead.

Obviously.

She has not yet recovered from yesterday's 'shadow'.

So she would feel frightened at the slightest disturbance.

soon.

The altitude of the passenger plane has dropped to 500 meters.

Liang Dong contacted the tower again and confirmed the blind landing on runway 02 left.

Simultaneously.

The tower also reminded them.

Because the rain became heavier, the visibility of the airport runway was less than 50 meters.

So they must be more careful when performing landing procedures.

In fact, there is no need to be reminded by the tower.

When the passenger plane plunged into this cloud, raindrops the size of thumbs slapped hard on the windshield of the plane.

The sound of rain even drowned out the sound of the plane's engine.

You can see how heavy the rain was.

450 m.

400 m.

350 m.

The airliner remains trapped in 'chaos'.

Upon seeing this, Lu Qingzhou immediately spoke to the MAS tower in person and gave a brief introduction to the approach. Review the implementation procedure again.

This is because the weather conditions are not favorable right now.

If an abnormal situation occurs when the aircraft lands, the aircraft may perform a go-around procedure.

Although this possibility is unlikely.

But be prepared.

"Put down the landing gear" Liang Dong has already started to execute the landing checklist.

Lu Qingzhou reached out and pressed the landing gear button.

Then repeated, "Lower the landing gear."

Liang Dong looked at the instrument panel and immediately said, "The landing gear was lowered successfully."

Then he added, "Flaps 30 degrees."

"Flaps 30 degrees." Lu Qingzhou repeated.

Now he is the repeater without emotions.

"Flap 40." Liang Dong spoke again.

Lu Qingzhou repeated, "Flaps 40."

A 40-degree flap is already a landing flap.

"Airbrake armed."

"Airbrake armed."

The landing flaps and speed brakes are in position, indicating that the Airbus A320 aircraft has established a landing configuration.

The aircraft continued to lose altitude.

300 m.

250 m.

200 meters.
  The plane finally broke out of the clouds.

Lu Qingzhou took off his sunglasses and held the operating lever with one hand.

Outside the plane.

Torrential rain.

Liang Dong reached out and turned on the wiper.

The wipers swished against the windshield.

It can also be seen from the ND of the aircraft (ND is the navigation display, MFD main flight display) that there is a large red area and yellow area on the radar screen.

It means the weather outside is really bad.

Xinzhou Airport is a 4C-level airport.

The airport runway is only 2300 meters.

Landing on such a short runway in this slippery weather.

It is a big test for the captain’s driving skills.

150 m.

100 m.

50 meters.
  Lu Qingzhou finally saw the airport runway hidden in the heavy rain.

While adjusting the flight attitude, he controlled the aircraft to align with the center line of the runway.

Fingers are flying.

In just a few seconds, he performed at least 10 actions in a row.

40 m.

30 m.

20 meters.
  When the height of the plane was only 10 meters, the plane had already flown over the runway.

Lu Qingzhou immediately pulled up the nose of the plane and let the plane land with the nose upward.

A few seconds later.

The plane's rear landing gear hit the airport runway heavily.

Then there's the nose landing gear.

When the landing gear touched down, the plane seemed to veer to the right for a moment.

But just a moment later it was pulled back to the center line.

The passenger plane started to run wildly on the runway like a wild horse running wild.

Lu Qingzhou was calm and unhurried.

The thrust reverser was activated immediately and the speed brake was automatically raised.

The speed of the passenger plane has slowed down visibly to the naked eye.

Another minute or two passed.

This behemoth weighs dozens of tons.

Finally, it slowly stopped on the runway.

But the plane didn't stay on the runway for long.

One minute later.

Once again, new instructions came from the tower.

Lu Qingzhou putted again.

The passenger plane started slowly and left the airport runway.

When the passenger plane parked steadily at gate 211, several people in the cockpit involuntarily exhaled a breath of foul air.

Finally the landing was successful.
