Chapter 307 A piece of good news and a piece of bad news
In his last life, Jiang Chen flew on a passenger plane for ten years.
It can be regarded as having experienced strong winds and waves.
But if you ask him what sound he is most afraid of.
There is nothing better than the various alarms that suddenly sounded in the cockpit.
For example, the famous "PULLUP" has made countless pilots "fearful".
As well as 'WindShear' (windshear), Terrain (terrain obstacles), AirspeedLow (airspeed is too low), Don'tsink (Don't descend), etc.
And of course automatic driving The disconnected 'beep~~beep~~' and the fire alarm's 'ding, ring, ring, ring~~~'
These alarm sounds are just like the magic sound of death.
Caught off guard, people’s expressions changed.
Moreover, Jiang Chen flew passenger planes for ten years in his last life, so it was naturally not going to be smooth sailing.
He is not Hong Laosan, not God’s own son.
I didn’t even imitate a colonist named Ma who wore a little hat and went to Israel to pet cats and mice at the Wailing Wall.
So God’s weakling will definitely not bless him.
Ugh!
In the Xia Kingdom, this is one-third of an acre.
God’s words don’t seem to work very well.
So in his last life, Jiang Chen encountered quite a few accidents.
On average, we encounter it almost once or twice a year.
This is not because Jiang Chen has an unlucky physique, but because other pilots are similar to him.
We-media often say that airplanes are the safest means of transportation, and taking airplanes is also the safest way to travel.
Then compare the number of fatalities and injuries in car accidents every year with airplane crashes.
Bullshit.
Pure nonsense.
Discussing the casualties aside from the total number is taken out of context.
The safest means of transportation in the world is always the train.
Planes are always one of the most dangerous means of transportation.
There are countless air traffic accidents that occur every year.
It’s just that the vast majority of air traffic accidents do not cause casualties. Even most air traffic accidents are not even noticed by passengers on board the plane.
This is just like most traffic accidents are just scratches and do not cause casualties.
That is to say.
Airplane ‘traffic accidents’ also vary from big to small.
Take Jiang Chen as an example.
The most serious 'traffic accident' he encountered in his previous life was when a plane hit a flock of birds and almost shattered the windshield.
And he encountered even more minor accidents.
For example, the plane had a mechanical failure, encountered wind shear when taking off or landing, the tower was not dispatched in time, almost collided with another plane, etc.
The most memorable one for him was when the right engine of the plane caught fire. As a result, the plane had to make an emergency landing at a nearby small airport.
But because the airport runway is too short.
So the plane overshot the runway and was forced to stop.
In the few years since he joined the company, he would be frightened and frightened when he encountered a 'traffic accident'.
But as time goes by.
Even if he encounters a big accident, he can do everything to remain calm.
Without him!
Only if you are familiar with it!
But more than half a minute ago, when Jiang Chen heard that the plane he was piloting was on fire, he was still shocked.
Oh shit!
The reason why the plane lost power was the engine catching fire?
Wait!
Why didn’t the fire alarm trigger when the engine caught fire?
Ugh!
This teaching-8 thing is so backward.
There is no alarm system.
Think of this.
Jiang Chen couldn't help but sigh slightly.
Okay.
Why did it suddenly catch on fire?
Yes.
More than a minute ago.
The plane seemed to hit a white light.
Jiang Chen didn’t pay much attention at that time.
But after a flash of white light, the plane began to lose power.
Looking back now.
Where the hell is that white light?
It was clearly a bolt of lightning.
That is to say.
This Jiao-8 was actually struck by lightning, which caused an engine fire.
After figuring out this joint, Jiang Chen had a look of helplessness on his face, "Fuck, what kind of thunder is there in the winter!"
Now, he can only have fun in the misery, "Thunder and lightning are both here. Don't you rest? Is there a '996' blessing in the sky?"
Fortunately, the plane has a lightning protection device.
Otherwise.
The high-voltage electricity of hundreds of thousands of volts had probably burned him and Liu Yun behind him into waste.
If a pilot has not been struck by lightning several times, he would be embarrassed to say that he is an experienced pilot.
And most lightning strikes are trivial.
It will not cause much harm to the plane or the people on the plane at all.
Jiang Chen flew passenger planes for a full ten years in his last life, and performed flight missions in the southern region where thunderstorms are common all year round, so he has quite a lot of experience in dealing with such air conditions.
According to his judgment.
It should be that the plane was hit by a bolt of lightning.
Although there is a lightning protection device on the aircraft, it will not cause much damage if it is struck by lightning.
But today this Jiao-8 has been running at high speed, and the internal circuits of the engine are already very fragile.
I was struck by lightning again.
So the aging wiring caught fire.
The fire then quickly spread inside the aircraft.
Not only did the plane lose power, but it also disabled most of the instruments in the cockpit.
This is also the reason why Liu Yun in the back row was unable to obtain permission to take over the plane.
Just.
Although I now know the ‘cause’.
Jiang Chen is still unable to ‘cure’ the disease for the time being!
Tower.
Liang Zhenghong saw that Jiang Chen had been silent for nearly half a minute.
I thought he was stunned.
So he immediately called, "Dongguai, can you hear me?"
A few seconds passed.
Jiang Chen's voice sounded in the communication channel, "Zizi, Dongguai received it, please speak."
Hearing that Jiang Chen's voice was still relatively calm, Liang Zhenghong then He breathed a sigh of relief and then asked, "Dongguai, report the speed and altitude."
"The altitude is one thousand five hundred and fifty, the speed is six hundred and seventy-seven, the power is lost too fast."
>
Liang Zhenghong quickly glanced at the radar screen.
Jiao-8 is less than twenty kilometers away from the airport.
The plane still has speed now.
A mere dozen kilometers.
Fly back.
So Liang Zhenghong's solemn expression finally relaxed.
Immediately said to Jiang Chen, "You are not far from the airport now. Don't worry, you can fly back."
More than ten kilometers away.
Jiang Chen heard Liang Zhenghong’s comfort.
Not only did he not feel relieved, but he showed a hint of bitterness, "I can't fly back."
Um?
Liang Zhenghong was stunned.
But the next second,
he reacted.
Damn it.
There is really no way to go back.
The height of Teach-8 is too high.
Now Jiao-8 still has a height of 1,500 meters.
Follow normal landing procedures.
Jiang Chen should start descending more than 20 kilometers away from the airport, and then use the 'three-sided' or 'five-sided' procedure to lower the altitude while trying to keep landing against the wind.
But today's situation is somewhat special.
I’m afraid I won’t be able to fly down to the ‘three-sided’ or ‘five-sided’ altitude as usual. Because most of the aircraft's instruments are no longer functioning properly.
If Jiang Chen rashly lowers his height now.
What should I do if I can’t pull up the nose of the plane and can’t turn?
Then the plane didn't make an emergency landing.
But it crashed.
"Skydiving, the only self-rescue option now is skydiving."
Just when Liang Zhenghong was at a loss what to do, a voice suddenly sounded next to him.
This is Li Fan, the duty director of the control tower today.
Although he is not a flying academy instructor, he is equally experienced.
And unlike Liang Zhenghong, who is "obsessed by the authorities", he is "a clear observer".
Hearing what Li Fan said.
Liang Zhenghong suddenly became enlightened.
Immediately clutching the intercom and shouted to Jiang Chen, "Turn around, get down immediately, and then find the right moment to parachute."
Now there is no possibility of a successful emergency landing in Dongguai.
As the fire spread.
The plane has been turned into an oven.
Furthermore, the fire also burned many internal circuits, causing many instruments to no longer function properly.
So the only self-rescue option is skydiving.
Liu Yun, who was in the back row, also shouted to Jiang Chen, "Get down first, find an opportunity to fly the plane out of the densely populated area, and then eject and parachute."
The Jiao-8 also has an ejection device.
And it’s a British product—Martin Baker chair.
Although the British are no longer the famous empire on which the sun never sets.
But a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.
Even now, there are still many good things left behind.
Martin Baker Company is one of them.
The company is the world's No. 1 ejection seat brand, and its product, the ejection seat, has saved the lives of more than 7,000 pilots so far.
Because the Jiao-8 was developed in the 1970s and 1980s, during the "honeymoon period" between Xia State and European and American countries.
And it is jointly funded with Pakistan for research and development.
Therefore, many mature products in the international aviation market are used.
For example, Martin Baker seats, Western electronic flight instrument systems, instrument landing systems, TACAN navigation systems and radios, etc.
If Jiao-8 is a product of the 21st century.
These mature products are tantamount to being behind the times.
But the Jiao-8 was developed in the 1970s and 1980s.
Therefore, these Western ‘imported products’ were still relatively high-end at the time.
Especially the Martin Baker seats.
Even today in 2013, it still remains the world’s number one ejection seat.
With the protection of ‘the world’s first ejection seat’.
Even if Jiang Chen and Liu Yun choose to parachute at an altitude of 1,500 meters, their survival rate will be greatly increased.
But Jiang Chen doesn’t want to put his life on the ‘world’s best ejection seat’.
So even if you want to parachute to escape, you still have to go down to a height of several hundred meters.
This will make you more confident.
Not to mention.
Now the plane is flying over the residential area.
Beyond the residential area is the Xinyang branch.
So now is not the best time to parachute to escape.
“Understood.” Jiang Chen replied, gritting his teeth and pressing the rod forward fiercely.
The nose of this J-8 was pushed forward instantly.
Then it was like a dropped aerial bomb.
At an angle of nearly sixty degrees, it dived towards the ground.
Huh~~~
When Jiang Chen saw this, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
Not bad!
The operating lever still works.
The plane is still under control.
But when he stepped hard on the rudder with his right foot, the plane did not turn to the right as expected.
Huh?
Rudder malfunction?
Damn it.
What is this?
Jiang Chen was a little helpless and could only turn his head and shout at the back, "Old Liu, do you want to hear two pieces of news now?"
Liu Yun was about to be killed now. The torture went crazy.
Anyone will probably go crazy when their life is in the hands of others.
"Stop comparing nonsense, the height is falling too fast. Pull the nose of the plane up immediately, otherwise we will crash in a few minutes." Liu Yun shouted at the top of his lungs.
Jiang Chen glanced at the altimeter.
In the time the two people were talking, the altitude of the plane had dropped by more than 300 meters.
Hmm!
The height did drop too fast.
He immediately pulled the rod back violently, and with great effort, he finally pulled the nose up.
"Adjust the direction, adjust the direction immediately. The plane no longer has the conditions for an emergency landing. We can only abandon the plane and parachute. You must immediately turn and fly towards the mountainous area. It is either a residential area or our school below. What are you going to do? If you dare to Abandoning a plane to skydive in a residential area or campus is a crime, a crime against the masses and your classmates. I would rather die than go to a military court with you." Liu Yun was already blushing and his neck was thick.
Jiang Chen has now pedaled his left and right feet, making them smoke.
Hear Liu Yun’s rebuke.
He could only explain loudly, "I don't want to go to a military court, but the rudder of the plane is faulty. Even if I want to turn around and go to the mountains, I can't do it!"
"Huh?"
Liu Yun was shocked.
He never expected it.
The situation of the plane has become so bad.
I can’t even turn.
Damn it!
Isn't this life-threatening?
Liu Yun's face was ashen.
But after just a few seconds, he seemed to have made up his mind and shouted towards Jiang Chen in the front row, "Then keep flying forward. If we fly out of the residential area, we will Just parachute. If you can't fly out, try to control the plane and find an open space to crash into it. "No matter what, we can't parachute in a densely populated area."
"You know. What do I mean?”
Jiang Chen loudly replied, "Understood."
Then a wry smile appeared on his face, "But now the plane is falling too fast, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on for long."
" How long can we hold on?" Liu Yun's answer was unquestionable, "In short, we must not implicate innocent people in order to survive!"
Jiang Chen gritted his teeth, "Yes."
< br>Tower.
The conversation between Jiang Chen and Liu Yun fell into everyone's ears word for word.
But whether it is Liang Zhenghong, Li Fan, or anyone else.
All of them looked compassionate and painful.
No one of them said a word about Jiang Chen and Liu Yun's decision.
Because this conversation between Liu Yun and Jiang Chen meant that even if he sacrificed himself, he could not let the plane fall in a densely populated area and hurt innocent people.
Yes.
No matter which country it is.
Pilots are very precious.
Especially a talented pilot like Jiang Chen is a national treasure.
But there is an iron law in the air forces of various countries.
That is, the plane can crash and the pilot can parachute to escape.
But pilots must avoid residential areas before parachuting.
Even if you lose your life for this.
This iron law has not been formed into a written law, but it has been strictly followed by the air forces of various countries from beginning to end.
Because the last pilot did not follow this iron rule.
Not only did he go to jail.
It has even been permanently nailed to the pillar of shame.
