Chapter 358: Are civil airliners flying as fighter planes?
As of January 2014.
Dongguan University has a total of six civil aviation area control centers and 28 high-altitude control zones.
The person responsible for civil aviation dispatch and navigation in the southwest region is the Rongcheng District dispatcher.
Capital time.
11:20 in the morning.
There is still about an hour until the noon shift break.
After the controller Xu Zhen hung up the communication contact with a flight, he took a break from the busy work and took a sip of water from the water glass at hand.
Just when he turned his attention to the computer screen again.
In the public channel.
A hoarse, even trembling voice suddenly rang, "Mayday, Mayday, Mayday"
At the same time.
The transponder in the control hall also received an emergency code.
The emergency code was surprisingly - 7500.
Xu Zhen first trembled.
Then he looked at the radar screen with a look of disbelief.
He had found the flight sending 'Mayday' on the radar screen.
Is it Shenzhen Airlines flight zh8649 from Hefei to Qianyang?
Shenzhen Airlines zh8649 continuously sent ‘Mayday’ and ‘7500’ emergency codes representing hijacking?
Hijacking?
Such a strange word.
I have been doing this for almost ten years, and this is the first time I have seen a flight hoisting the ‘7500’ emergency code.
Xu Zhen felt his hands and feet were cold.
Stumbled to his feet.
He turned to a middle-aged man not far away and said in a voiceless voice, "Director... something happened, something big happened."
Hundreds of kilometers away.
In the control hall of Qianyang High Altitude Control Zone.
We have also received the ‘7500’ emergency code pending on Shenzhen Airlines flight zh8649.
The communication channel also received the flight’s ‘Mayday’ distress signal repeated three times in a row.
The controller in the high-altitude control zone looked pale.
Only four words came to his mind - something big happened!
Fortunately, the General Administration and regional control centers have enough emergency plans.
After receiving the ‘Mayday’ distress signal and ‘7500’ emergency code sent by Shenzhen Airlines flight zh8649, the Chengdu District Police Department immediately launched a first-level emergency plan.
First, the Qianzhou airspace was cleared, and all flights passing through the Qianzhou airspace were ordered to climb or lower altitude, and pay attention to avoid Shenzhen Airlines flight zh8649 to make room for 8649.
Immediately afterwards, Longdongbao Airport entered the first level state. Press and hold all departing flights to notify the upcoming landing flights to return or make an alternate landing at other airports. G security, firefighting, first aid, engineering rescue, special operations, etc. All departments are in place.
The third party immediately contacted Party J to report a possible hijacking incident on Shenzhen Airlines flight zh8549, and requested Party J to take off an emergency military plane to investigate the situation.
Fourth, contact the General Administration and local authorities to report the situation of Shenzhen Airlines flight zh8549.
However, the above steps are not in sequence, but are executed simultaneously.
So it seems cumbersome.
But it actually only takes about half a minute.
After successfully launching the emergency plan.
Liu Chengyu, the duty director of the Chengdu District, took a deep breath, held the intercom and said in a deep voice, "Shenzhen Airlines flight zh8549, the Chengdu District dispatch is calling. If you hear it, please reply. If you hear it, please reply."
ZiZi~~~ZiZi~~~
The communication channel first heard the noise of electromagnetic waves.
But just a few seconds later, a trembling voice rang in the communication channel, "8549 received."
After hearing this voice, Liu Chengyu's anxious heart finally calmed down a little.
Not bad.
Flight 8549 can still be contacted for the time being.
The situation is not at its most critical yet.
"8549, what happened? Why did you hang up the '7500' emergency code and send the 'Mayday' distress signal?" Liu Chengyu immediately asked.
In the control hall.
Other controllers also looked towards him with concerned expressions.
ZiZi~~ZiZi~~ (What is the problem with this sentence?)
A few seconds passed.
In the communication channel, the trembling voice rang again, "I am Chen Bin, the co-pilot of Shenzhen Airlines flight 8549. At 11:16 this morning, someone set fire to the cabin of Shenzhen Airlines flight zh8549 and injured someone, causing the captain to Injured.”
Although Chen Bin spoke very quickly, he was still quite calm. It only took more than ten seconds to tell what happened just now
After he finished speaking, there was a sudden silence in the entire control hall. There is no other sound except the sound of various equipments' beep~deep~deep'
On the faces of all controllers, including the shift director Liu Chengyu
They are all filled with shock
What?
Someone set fire on the plane and hurt people?
Almost got hijacked?
They are actually very unfamiliar with the word 'hijacking'.
However, this incident sounds thrilling, but it does not seem to be the worst.
The suspect has been subdued.
Although the captain was injured, by chance, there happened to be a pilot among the passengers on the plane.
And he is also a pilot who can fly military aircraft.
Being robbed
Doesn’t it look like it’s not completely robbed?
"Director, the altitude of Shenzhen Airlines Flight 8549 remains at about 9,800 meters, but the speed has increased to 850km/h, which is close to the maximum theoretical speed of this aircraft type."
At this time.
A controller shouted.
850km/h?
A trace of disbelief flashed across Liu Chengyu’s face.
Tsk tsk!
As expected of a fighter pilot.
Even commercial airliners can fly so fast.
Is this using civil aircraft as fighter jets?
But now the plane lands one second earlier, and the people on the plane are safe one second earlier.
Especially the captain who was seriously injured.
So Liu Chengyu does not intend to intervene.
As soon as the controller finished speaking, another controller said loudly, "Director, we have been contacted over there, but the nearest airport to Qianyang City is in Yunnan. At Luliang Airport in the province, two Su-27 Flankers have already taken off."
"Coming from Dian Province?" Liu Chengyu frowned immediately.
Waiting for the Air Force plane to arrive.
The day lilies are cold.
The controller said helplessly, "There is no way. Qianzhou has been an indisputable place for military strategists since ancient times, so the province does not have important military bases and airports. Currently, Qianzhou Province only has one military airport - — Xinzhou Airport, but there is currently no air force stationed at the airport. "
Qianzhou is very mountainous.
It is not a heavy industrial base.
Except for coal, there seems to be no other important mineral resources.
It's not a traffic artery.
It seems that the military strategists really have an indisputable position.
Liu Chengyu had no choice but to say, "Reply to the Air Force, please speed them up."
After that.
He just raised his head.
Set your sights on the big radar screen.
Looking at the radar screen without blinking.
Looking at the amazingly fast Airbus A320 passenger plane.
Cockpit.
Chen Bin hung up the call with the Rongcheng District Police Department and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Captain, the Rongcheng District and Qianyang Control Area have cleared all the airspace for us. The emergency plan has been activated and the Air Force is on the way."
He turned to look at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen did not answer.
But his face was still tense and his hands were tightly holding the operating lever.
At this time.
The speed on the aircraft's airspeed indicator shows that the aircraft's current speed has exceeded 850km/h.
Maintaining the current speed, the plane will reach Qianyang airspace and land at Longdongbao Airport in just a few minutes at most.
That is to say.
The destination of this flight, Longdongbao Airport, is already very close at hand.
