Chapter 961: Flying genius

Just in the cabin, there has been a mess of porridge. The cries of the passengers, the sound of prayers and the whistling sound of the wind blowing into the cabin have been destroyed. The wind of the windshield glass is blown directly into the cabin.

The first class is still a little better, the number is not a lot, and the passengers are of higher quality. They are able to sit quietly in the seats under the advice of the flight attendants. Of course, they are also scared to face no one, many people. Keep praying crosses on your chest.

What Feng Xiao’s heart is more worried about is that Xia Ruofei has not returned since he went to the front. She is very worried about the safety of Xia Ruofei.

At this moment, the flight attendant Gu Li came over and went to her ear to say that her friend was in the cockpit and asked her to go together. She immediately stood up and followed Gu Li to the cockpit.

When he arrived in the cockpit, Feng Wei was shocked. The driver's arm on the co-pilot's seat was bloody. The windshield in front of him had disappeared. There was only one big hole in the wind. The cockpit was even more messy, and the instrument panel on the front passenger side was opened.

What makes Feng Xiao’s heart beat is that Xia Ruofei is now driving the plane!

When did this guy learn to fly? Also, are there no pilots on the plane? Feng Wei suddenly felt as if the whole world had collapsed...

Xia Ruofei concentrated on driving the plane to descend the height. He also said that he had too much to say to Feng Wei. He just turned back and said, "Sit down behind me and tie up the seat belt! The chief of the cabin, you help her wear the oxygen mask." !"

The seat behind him is closest to him. Once the plane is out of control and is about to crash, Xia Ruofei only needs one thought and can put Feng Wei into the space of the spiritual map.

Feng Wei's face was stunned and sat down on the seat behind Xia Ruofei. With the help of the crew chief Gu Li, he fastened his seat belt and put on an oxygen mask.

The aircraft quickly descended with a dive in the whistling. Although the thrust has been reduced, the airspeed is still increasing, and the entire aircraft is shaking, as if it may be disintegrated at any time.

The height displayed by the altimeter is also rapidly declining, and the oxygen content in the cabin is naturally increasing.

When the altimeter indicated that it came to 10,000 feet, or about three kilometers, Captain Brooke finally breathed a sigh of relief. He shouted: "Summer! Try to keep this height now! Reduce the speed appropriately!"

"Okay!" said Xia Ruofei.

He concentrated on controlling the joystick, slowly adjusting the attitude of the aircraft to the level of flying, and at the same time, according to Brooke's suggestion, he continued to charge a little throttle. The airspeed that had just increased due to the dive began to slowly drop.

After the speed dropped, the airflow from the hole formed by the windshield bursting was naturally less violent, and the noise in the cockpit was also reduced.

At this point, Brooke was basically able to determine that the aircraft and passengers were temporarily safe.

He began to try to contact the ground and determine the location of his aircraft.

Because many of the instruments on the front passenger side are damaged in explosive pressure loss, Brooke is now unable to determine the position of the aircraft through the Global Positioning System (GPS), but he knows that the aircraft yawed from the beginning, to the rear emergency height, the ground is empty The tube must have noticed the anomaly, so he called directly in the civil aviation emergency frequency, which should be no problem.

Brooke called through the emergency frequency: "mayday! mayday! mayday! qf108 flight! qf108 flight! We were caught in a hijacking incident, the current body is damaged, the cabin is exploding pressure! Request ground radar help!"

Brooke first announced the flight emergency with three consecutive "maydays", then clearly reported the flight number and briefly reported the situation.

He also had some concerns about the damage to the communication system. Fortunately, the response was quickly heard in the headphones. Although the sound was not clear in the loud noise, the sound was intermittent, but the communication was not interrupted, and Brooke was relieved. less.

"qf108, report your height and speed!" The voice of the air traffic control was suddenly and small, and sometimes it was passed to Brooke's ear.

Brooke quickly glanced at the altimeter and airspeed meter in front of him, and reported the current altitude to the air traffic controller. Then he asked: "We applied for the recent airport landing. What is our current position? ”

Because the noise in the cockpit is very large, and the air-ground communication function seems to have been affected, it is a bit intermittent, so the captain Brooke just faintly heard a few words, but did not get any useful information.

He had to say: "I haven't heard it here, please repeat it again! qf108!"

The controller repeated it again, but Brooke still couldn't understand, and he couldn't help but be anxious.

Xia Ruofei is also wearing headphones. His hearing is much stronger than Brooke. He basically listened to what the controller said.

So Xia Ruofei turned his head and said loudly: "Captain Brooke, I heard in the headset what the other side of the Auckland intelligence area we are in. Now we have two options, one is to fly to Laos, and the other is to fly. Saipan, the distance is almost the same, the controller said let us decide for ourselves!"

Captain Brooke often flies this route. He judged the position of the plane at first. Of course, because Wilkins deliberately let the plane deviate from the route, Brooke’s judgment may not be accurate, just a rough area. .

Fortunately, there is ground-based radar guidance, and the aircraft will not be lost in the sea.

Captain Brooke thought quickly and finally considered that Qantas had a base at Saipan Airport. The ground coordination may be relatively convenient. In addition, he was relatively more familiar with Saipan Airport, so he quickly made a decision.

"We decided to drop Saipan! qf108." Captain Brooke said decisively, "Please provide radar guidance! In addition, due to the loss of pressure in the cabin, we apply to maintain a height of 10,000 feet!"

Xia Ruofei heard intermittent sounds from the headphones: "qf108, agree to keep 10,000 feet, below I will guide you back to the route to Saipan, please turn left to 150!"

Xia Ruofei saw that Bruker tried hard to press his headphones, and he knew that he still did not understand what the other party was saying, so he again acted as a megaphone and repeated the controller's words.

"Please confirm the order, allow to keep 10,000 feet, turn left to 150!qf108!" Brooke retelled the controller's instructions.

“Retelling correctly!” said the controller.

"Understood, qf108!" This time the instructions are relatively short, Brooke responded quickly.

Then he began to guide Xia Ruofei, teaching him to use the steering column and rudder to make the plane start to turn.

The turning of the plane seems to be simple, that is, rutting the rudder or turning the steering column. Both methods can make the aircraft produce a turning motion, but in fact, if the aileron is used only to control the aileron to make the airplane turn, the aircraft will tilt, but the nose The direction has not actually turned, the whole turn process is very slow and the resistance is particularly large.

If only the rudder is used for control, the nose suddenly turns when the fuselage is not tilted, the direction of the airflow on the wing changes drastically, the lift decreases, and the force of the fuselage increases, which causes the airplane to fall at a high height.

The correct way is naturally to cooperate with the steering column and the rudder, so that the aircraft can be turned while tilting, so that the aircraft can draw a perfect curve in the air that is smooth and round and does not change in height.

However, this may be an instinctive action for an old pilot, but it is very difficult for a pure rookie like Xia Ruofei.

Therefore, after Brooke and Xia Ruofei talked about the way of turning, they did not have any hope for Xia Ruofei's operation. He did not expect stability and perfection, as long as he could turn the corner.

Xia Ruofei just started a bit of a mess, or the rudder is too much, and the steering rod is not well matched, or the steering column is turned, but the rudder has not kept up, and the altitude of the airplane is suddenly over the course of turning. Under.

However, after Xia Ruofei, who had practiced the "Dalian Decision", his learning ability is also super strong. Especially for this kind of project that requires high coordination of the body, he is extremely fast.

After a while, Xia Ruofei has already figured out the doorway. During the next turn, the aircraft body tilted slightly to the left, and the nose also turned to the left. The plane crossed an arc in the air, and the altimeter opportunity remained the same during the whole process. On a number.

Brooke can't help but be a bit stunned, and this learning talent is too strong! This simple turning action, maybe the flight students have to practice a few classes, they are not necessarily perfect, but Xia Ruofei has only flew out of the old pilot's feeling of freehand in just a short two or two minutes.

If it wasn't for Xia Ruofei's performance before it was a pure newbie, and almost everything about the jetliner was ignorant, Brooke even thought that Xia Ruofei was joking before, this is a skilled pilot!

Brooke quickly recovered from the shock, because the course has come to 140, he quickly said: "Summer! Now slowly flatten the plane!"

In fact, Brooke is not reminded that Xia Ruofei has slowly reduced the turning slope. The controller has requested to transfer to the heading 150. He must not wait for the heading 150 to operate again. The aircraft will change from a turning attitude to a direct flight. It also requires a response time. I must have turned my head.

If it is an autopilot to control the aircraft, the whole process is certainly quite smooth and accurate. When the course is 150, the aircraft just becomes a direct flight attitude, and the people who fly the plane do not feel too much and too urgent changes.

However, if the pilot is manually operated, it is naturally not as accurate as computer control, and there will be some adjustments more or less.

However, Xia Ruofei's turn operation was as if the autopilot was controlled. When the heading just arrived at 150, the attitude of the plane just completely flattened and began to fly straight toward this heading.

Brooke is even more surprised. He would rather believe that this is a dead mouse. Otherwise, a rookie who had only contacted a transport helicopter could do this when driving a large jet for the first time. It’s too shocking.

Brooke believes that even if he is not injured and personally maneuvering the aircraft, he can only do this level.

The next voyage was to fly under the guidance of the air traffic control. During the period, two air traffic control zones were also switched. The air traffic along the route placed the aircraft in the emergency state in the first sequence and cleared the airspace early. The route is unimpeded.

Brooke also got in touch with Qantas’ Saipan base.

When the flight deviated from the radar, Qantas received the news for the first time. It can be said that the heart of the company is hung up. Now it is finally connected, and although the plane is damaged, there are no passenger casualties. It can be said that it is fortunate in the unfortunate.

Qantas also quickly took action and coordinated Saipan’s airport, customs, inspection and quarantine, and hospitals.

Saipan also opened other aircraft early and cleared the airspace to qf108.

Throughout the flight, Brooke finally had to admit that Xia Ruofei might be a flying genius. He can be said to learn the manual control of the plane from scratch, but the speed of getting started is staggering, every turn and height adjustment of the plane. Almost all can see the progress of Xia Ruofei.

As the plane approached Saipan Airport, the ground also set a zone for the aircraft to release the oil flight to Australia, and now the voyage is not more than half, there is a lot of aviation fuel in the fuel tank, if the landing is too heavy, Aircraft landing gear and structures can be damaged.

Especially the actual control of the aircraft is a rookie who has never received a one-minute flight training for Airbus. It is even more dangerous to make a heavy landing.

Fortunately, there is Bruker, an experienced captain on the plane. Although he can't control the plane because of his arm injury, he can undertake the air-ground communication task and can guide Xia Ruofei at any time.

Therefore, the entire oil draining process was also very smooth. After the calculation, the captain Brooke decided to let go of the 10 tons of jet fuel. This figure is less than the theoretical figure. Because of the fact that Xia Ruofei has no flight experience, the captain Brooke does not dare to hope once. Landing was successful.

Since it is necessary to make a good go-around, it is natural to leave some jet fuel.

Soon, the aircraft gradually descended under the command of the air traffic control. This landing did not implement the standard approach procedure, because the ground already knew the current situation of the aircraft, while other flights have been circulated in different airspace, so Naturally everything is simple.

Under the constant reminder and guidance of Captain Brooke, Xia Ruofei controlled the plane and gradually approached Saipan Airport. Brooke’s heart was also raised. It was finally found when Xia Ruofei was a real flying genius...
