Chapter 362 Arriving at the airport, about to land
It's not just airports.
Almost the entire rescue force in Qianyang City was mobilized and rushed towards the airport.
This was a major safety incident involving hundreds of casualties.
No one dares to neglect.
The Spring Festival is approaching.
The past few days have almost reached the peak period of the entire Spring Festival.
Therefore, whether it is water transportation, land transportation, railway transportation, or air transportation, it is very busy.
Longdongbao Airport is the largest passenger airport in Qianzhou Province.
It was already overcrowded.
Fully loaded passenger planes landed in a hurry, and immediately another fully loaded passenger plane took off.
But now all flights are delayed or even cancelled.
This resulted in a large number of passengers being stranded at the airport.
Especially the waiting hall.
It was already packed with people.
When these people saw police cars, ambulances, fire trucks, engineering rescue and other special rescue vehicles hurriedly driving into the airport, and the sound of sirens even covered the voices of people talking, almost everyone was stunned.
And these rescue vehicles are like 'ants' that have received the signal, and they have been rushing here from all directions.
"Look, there are even helicopters dispatched."
In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows in the waiting hall.
Someone pointed to the sky and shouted loudly.
Everyone looked up.
When they saw two helicopters appearing in the sky, everyone's eyes suddenly widened.
They couldn't imagine it.
What kind of big event happened that made the whole city feel like it was facing an enemy.
"Are those those who got out of the car Police W?"
"What happened? Why is Team J even here?"
"Helicopters, police officers, fire fighters, police, rescue. Such a big battle, it feels like filming a movie."
"I just counted more than thirty fire trucks, and there are even more police cars and ambulances."
"Can anyone explain what happened?"
"Yeah, why is the entire airport closed?"
"I only have two weeks of vacation, and I originally planned to stay in my hometown for a few more days."
"Could there be an accident on the plane? Otherwise, why would the entire airport be closed down?"
“Can I change my booking to another airport?”.
The waiting hall was noisy.
Some people looked out the window with interest and even took out their mobile phones and started taking photos.
Some people are like ants on a hot pot, constantly venting their dissatisfaction about flight delays.
And as time goes by.
People kept pouring into the departure hall.
When these people heard the sirens ringing on the apron, they all rushed toward the floor-to-ceiling windows.
For a while.
The entire departure hall was overcrowded.
The Qianyang police had to disperse part of their police force and came to the terminal to maintain order.
It wasn't until the police 'expelled' most of the passengers out of the terminal that order in the hall was slightly restored.
However, such a large array was put up at the airport, which not only alerted the people in the terminal hall.
There is a passenger terminal near Longdongbao Airport.
In 2014, Qianzhou Province did not even have a high-speed railway.
Therefore, passenger transportation mainly relies on land transportation.
Speak humanly.
I mainly rely on buses.
Therefore, the passenger terminal near Longdongbao has even more passengers than the airport.
When these passengers saw rescue vehicles rushing towards the airport, and even several helicopters appeared in the sky, many people immediately rushed towards the airport.
For a while.
The entire airport is surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside.
Even the rooftops of the surrounding buildings were now full of people.
Anyway, being idle is idle.
Just in time to eat some melon to pass the time.
As for the taste of this melon?
It doesn't matter.
Just have melons to eat.
Rumble~~~Rumble~~~
Unknowingly.
There were bursts of faint sounds of 'rolling thunder' from the horizon.
At the beginning.
This sound is not loud. And it had long been drowned out by sirens and noisy voices.
But not for long.
The roar grew louder and louder.
The people who were still discussing and venting their dissatisfaction raised their heads and looked to the horizon.
The weather in Qianyang is nice today.
Sunny to cloudy.
So visibility is good.
When people looked up to the source of the sound, they happened to see a small black dot appear on the horizon.
No!
Not a little black dot.
But the outline of an airplane!
cockpit.
Jiang Chen could already see the airport runway in the distance below.
He held the control stick with one hand and constantly adjusted the aircraft's flight attitude to ensure that the aircraft's nose was exactly aligned with the center line of the runway.
Then his eyes scanned the dashboard one by one.
fine.
All systems of the aircraft remain in normal operation.
The blind landing system has already been activated.
The front and rear landing gear have also been lowered.
In the passenger seat.
Chen Bin was still communicating with the tower control.
But wait until the altitude of the plane drops below 200 meters.
Chen Bin and the control tower ended the call in a tacit understanding.
Because the altitude of the aircraft was lower than the decision altitude, the tower had already finished all the explanations that needed to be given.
The rest.
It all depends on the crew.
So Chen Bin hung up the call with the tower and took the landing checklist to check whether the aircraft engine was in idle mode, whether the flaps were adjusted to the landing position, whether the landing gear had been lowered, and whether the spoilers had been lowered. Pulled up.
The most important thing.
It is whether the blind landing system is operating and working properly.
If anything unusual happens to the aircraft.
He needed to alert the captain immediately.
End landing and go around immediately!
Decision height and decision speed are not the same.
During the take-off phase of the aircraft, if the speed exceeds the decision-making speed, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire in front of you, you still have to go through it.
But the level of decision-making is different.
In general.
When the aircraft lands, the altitude is lower than the decision altitude, and landing procedures must also be performed.
However, if there is an accident such as mechanical failure, bird strike, or even plane collision, the captain can pull up the nose of the aircraft and make a go-around.
One of the main tasks of the co-pilot is to check for deficiencies and fill them in, and to assist the captain.
Especially during takeoff and landing.
Chen Bin is a qualified co-pilot.
So there is no need for Jiang Chen to remind him of such small things.
slow down.
The aircraft continues to slow down.
Almost in the blink of an eye.
This Airbus A320 passenger plane was already flying over the airport, less than a kilometer away from the runway.
Jiang Chen glanced at the airspeed indicator again.
The speed has dropped to less than 200 miles.
Although it's still a bit faster.
But it's still within control.
Can land.
The distance of one thousand meters is reached in an instant.
In the blink of an eye.
The plane has already flown over the runway.
The nose of the plane was facing the center line of the runway, and the height was less than ten meters.
Jiang Chen immediately gently pulled the lever and pulled up the nose of the machine.
The plane tilted its head.
Like a singing rooster.
This ensures that the rear landing gear of the aircraft lands first.
