Chapter 962: Miraculous landing (1/2)
After the plane entered the approach phase, Brooke was obviously nervous.
Because the operation of the aircraft will be more and more complicated at this time, even experienced pilots will feel a lot of pressure to complete the entire landing with the help of the automatic system.
Xia Ruofei is not a pilot at all. Although in the flight just now, Xia Ruofei's talent makes Brooke stunned that he has not touched the simulator. He has to drive such a giant plane to land. This is a fantasy.
If it wasn't for the flight just now, let Brooke have a little bit of confidence in Xia Ruofei, he may even be desperate now.
Brooke was very nervous and constantly reminded Xia Ruofei that the plane passed through the clouds under the control of Xia Ruofei, and now the blue sea below can be seen.
For Feng Wei, who is sitting behind Xia Ruofei, this feeling may be even more terrifying.
Anyone who has been on the plane may know that when the plane is flying above the clouds, although it is clear that the white clouds are impossible to support the aircraft, there will still be some subconscious feeling of security.
After the cloud, the bottom is just the endless sea. From the sky, the sea seems to be still, and the blue and blue looks very deep, as if it is a bottomless abyss.
From the time he entered the cockpit, Feng Wei has always clenched his fists. It seems that this will help Xia Ruofei to make the same effort.
Her mentality is also from the uneasiness in the first class, and now it has gradually become calm. She thinks that everything may be the fate of the arrangement. If it is really going to be here, then at least with Xia Ruofei, the two The last moment is still so close, which is also a great comfort for her.
From Feng Wei’s position, he must be slightly inspected to see Xia Ruofei’s side face.
She kept this position all the time. Xia Ruofei was very focused when driving the plane. Xia Ruofei, who had no thoughts on his heart, seemed to be like a magnet, and Feng Xiao’s eyes were firmly attracted to him.
And his resolute side face seems to give Feng Wei a great sense of security.
”Summer, make another turn ahead, and go to the five sides of the airport.” Brooke said, ”Let's put down the landing gear first!”
”Okay!” Xia Ruofei said calmly, then leaned over to pull the landing gear lever down.
After a short while, the green light of the landing gear turned on, and Brooke was relieved a little. If the landing gear had a problem, it would be a night of rain.
”Summer, let's go to the floor checklist!” Brooke said.
”ok!” Xia Ruofei said to Brooke.
Brooke tried and tried, and the pain in his arm made him snorted. He frowned and thought, ”This lady, please come over and take the clip in front of me...”
Originally, the landing checklist for the 350 aircraft was carried out on a flight computer item by item. After a confirmation, it will be checked. However, many functions of the flying computer are now time-consuming, but they also have a paper checklist. Just in a folder in front of the pilot.
This folder is inserted in a gap, so it was not sucked out of the aircraft by the previous high-speed airflow.
Now the flight altitude is much lower, the noise in the cabin is not so big, and everyone can communicate normally if they are louder.
Feng Wei nodded and said: ”Please wait!”
She untied her seat belt and stood up and walked to the side of Brooke.
The windshield over there has disappeared, leaving a big hole, so Xia Ruofei could not help but remind: ”Sister, pay attention to safety!”
Feng Xiaochao Xia Ruofei smiled and said: ”Do not worry!”
She held Brook's seat back with one hand and poked out the body and took the folder out with the other hand.
”This lady, please turn to the floor checklist and read it out one by one, let me check it out!” Brooke said.
Originally, the floor checklist required two pilots to cross-check, but now it can only be rushed. Of course, Brooke will naturally be more careful.
”ok!” Feng Wei as a returning elite, English is naturally no problem, she quickly turned to the page of the floor checklist, began to cooperate with Brooke to execute this checklist.
After the checklist is completed, Brooke said: ”Ms. Thank you very much. Please go back to your seat now and fasten your seat belt!”
”Ok!”
After Feng Wei sat back to Xia Ruofei’s seat, Brooke said: “Summer, I will talk to you about Saipan’s situation! Saipan is located in the Northern Mariana Islands, between the Pacific Ocean and the Philippine Sea, and belongs to the subtropical ocean. The climate and rainfall are very abundant. According to my experience, Saipan often has a very strong rain that is formed in a short time and a small range. Because the range is very small, the radar of the aircraft is difficult to observe, and sometimes the tower is difficult to use. Observed by the naked eye, it will cause some trouble to the flight!”
Xia Ruofei nodded as he concentrated on the plane.
Brooke continued: ”If there is such a sudden heavy rain that prevents us from seeing the runway, we must make a decisive go-around. After all, your flight experience... oh, after all, you have never controlled the plane to land!”
When it comes to this, Brooke has a very strange feeling in his heart.
Xia Ruofei nodded and said: ”Understand!”
”Also, there is only one runway at Saipan Airport suitable for large jets to land,” Brooke said. ”We are about to land in reverse, that is, runway 25, which is 2,652 meters long. For Airbus 350. , belongs to the short runway, so...”
Xia Ruofei said with a smile: ”So the landing should be decisive, the grounding point should be as far as possible. If the plane appears to have lost the grounding point, it is necessary to push the throttle to the toga position and go around! You just said, I remember!”
Brooke nodded and said: ”Don't be nervous when you operate, I will guide you all the way!”
Speaking of this, Brooke glanced at the meter and said: ”It’s higher than the glides! Reduce the thrust...”
The glideslope is the trajectory of the aircraft relative to the ground when the aircraft approaches the landing. The closer the aircraft is to the runway, the lower the altitude. This trajectory is the glideslope. As an experienced captain, Brooke can quickly determine the state of the aircraft at the moment, even without the aid of electronic equipment.
Xia Ruofei immediately made the corresponding adjustments.
The height of the aircraft is getting lower and lower. At this time, the sound of the tower is also heard in the earphone: ”qf108, the runway No. 25 can be landed, the fire truck and the ambulance are all in place!”
“Qf108 received it,” Brooke said. “Once the landing is not going well, we hope to keep the heading directly pulling up and going back!”
”Qf108, agree! The go-around is 3,000 feet high!” The tower immediately replied.
”Understood, the go-around is 3,000 feet high, qf108!” Brooke said.
After ending the last call with the tower, Brooke turned to look at Xia Ruofei and said: ”Summer, relax, just be in a simulated flight game!”
Xia Ruofei is actually not nervous at this time because he has focused all his attention on aircraft control.
After the height is lowered, the airflow becomes more and more disordered, which causes great troubles for manually maneuvering the aircraft.
Xia Ruofei must correct the attitude of the aircraft at any time.
Of course, from the very beginning, it is a manual operation. This has the advantage that through this one-hour practice, Xia Ruofei now has some feelings about the handling of this aircraft, which is undoubtedly more complicated landing operation. It is helpful.
Due to the hole in the cockpit, the sound of the engine seemed to be bigger than usual, and Brooke's breathing was getting heavier and heavier.
”Look at the runway!” Brooke shouted and looked forward. ”Summer, the plane is now in good shape, keep it on! Remember, after entering the runway, pull the rod slightly back to make the plane build a landing!”
”Okay!” said Xia Ruofei.
His left hand grips the joystick, constantly fine-tuning, and the right hand is placed on the throttle stick.
While observing the situation outside the cabin, Brooke looked at the flight instruments from time to time and constantly reminded Xia Ruofei.
”The speed is big, lower the thrust!”
”The course is on the left side, adjust a little...”
”The adjustment is too much, the action is not too big!”
As the height continues to drop, the accuracy of the aircraft control is even higher. Rao is the ability of Xia Ruofei to learn more than ordinary people, and now it feels more difficult.
