Chapter 197 Emergency Landing(2/2)
The middle-aged captain fell under the driver's seat, his mouth and nose bleeding, and he was already a dead body.
"How could the captain..."
"Do you know anything about flying?"
Unexpectedly, the co-pilot did not give him a chance to ask, but instead asked him urgently about his level and ability.
Gu Ji knew that this was a very critical moment and did not hesitate.
"Learned it! Especially the flight direction!"
"That's great! My name is Bolton, and I'll give you the map! Keep an eye on the heading gyro, navigate manually, and give me a verbal report every half minute!"
The co-pilot had a free hand and threw the map book onto him.
Gu Ji quickly sat in the passenger seat and fastened his seat belt.
When he looked at the flight control, he realized why Bolton wanted him to navigate manually. He saw a line of red "no signal" warning displayed on the radar interface of the center console. Not only that, the two GPS antennas equipped with the Boeing-7M8
The three NAV navigation radio stations and the three COOM communication radio stations also all had red lights on.
In other words, this aircraft has completely lost its positioning, navigation and communication capabilities!
how so?
Civil aviation airliners have considered various extreme situations from the beginning of their safety design, so they are equipped with multiple systems. Even if one system fails, the other system can be used as a backup.
But now all the radar positioning and communications on the plane have failed, which really makes him feel incredible.
Even if the engine is turned off and the generator is stopped, the aircraft can still use battery power, and when the main battery fails, there is a backup battery, so there is no "double engine failure" that will affect communication and navigation.
"Shortly after the captain left the cab, the aircraft's communications, radar, and radio positioning suddenly failed. I checked the disconnector and restored it, but there was still no response. The captain suspected that this might be the work of terrorists, so he took over the control manually.
, diverted to Mazatlan, Mexico..."
Bolton explained the damage process in a few words.
Only then did Gu Ji suddenly understand.
After the captain manually operated the control column to turn, he suddenly died halfway. His body pressed against the control column, forcing the horizontal tail elevator to deflect downward, causing the aircraft to dive and fall.
Since it occurs during the turn, the captain's body will deflect, further affecting the control column.
You should know that the main and co-pilot joysticks of Boeing aircraft are linked, that is to say, as long as the main pilot deviates, the co-pilot will also move accordingly.
Therefore, in order to avoid conflicts, the handover of control requires the pilot to shout "hand over control", the other pilot shouts "take control", and then the former repeats the first sentence to complete the process. The process is somewhat similar to the offside of a SWAT tactician.
.
This 1-2-1 dialogue is designed to ensure absolute sexual safety.
And when encountering an emergency, such as this situation, it all depends on who has greater strength.
Bolton was able to remove the main pilot's seat belt and push the captain's body away from the rudder within ten seconds, which is considered a fast reaction.
Gu Ji frowned slightly.
There is no problem with the power system, but the most important communications, radio, and radar are out of order.
This is really suspicious.
Because several systems are not in the same location.
Even if there is a communication failure, it will not affect the GPS positioning, unless the entire avionics system is burned down, such as being struck by lightning, but the communication in the cabin can still be used, and the oxygen supply system can still be used, including lighting, controlling the whereabouts of oxygen masks, recovery, etc.
wait.
It seems that just as the captain judged, this is definitely man-made!
Except for the man in sunglasses.
There must be a person responsible for damaging avionics, navigation, positioning, communications, and poisoning the captain!
One of the reasons why the other party did this;
It should be to make the plane "disappear".
As long as the radio positioning is damaged, the aircraft will completely lose contact with the ground, and airlines will not be able to determine the specific location of the aircraft. They can only find it with the naked eye through military satellites or additional reconnaissance aircraft.
At the same time, cutting off communications can also prevent crew members from communicating with the ground and transmit intelligence information to the government and police.
In this way, as long as the plane lands in Sinaloa normally.
The drug gang can find the passenger plane as soon as possible. By the time the Mexican or Panamanian rescue teams arrive, the day lilies are already cold.
It's just that Gu Ji couldn't understand it.
It's enough to cut off communications and radios, why kill the captain?
You know, once the aircraft loses its captain, it will be difficult for the co-pilot alone to land safely when the navigation system is damaged, let alone a "double engine failure" that is about to occur.
"The No. 1 engine on the right side of the aircraft stopped running, and the No. 2 engine on the left side also failed. In order to avoid further damage to the engine, I had to adjust the No. 2 engine to the idle position and lower the flight altitude. Now we have to take advantage of the opportunity.
Before the No. 2 engine fails, find the nearest airport and make an emergency landing..."
"Boom——!"
Just as Bolton urged Gu Ji, there was another loud noise from the left wing, and then the plane completely lost power and fell faster!
Bolton stared, staring straight at the red light symbolizing danger and warning on the onboard computer. It wasn't until the sweat on his forehead fell into his eye sockets that he instinctively blinked, as if he had just come to life. "
God, both engines have failed! Yasen, get the QRH and check immediately!"
QRH is the Twin Engine Failure Quick Check Manual.
Gu Ji knew very well that the "Hell Level Difficulty" really started at this moment. After answering, he immediately found the manual according to the position of Bolton's finger.
Now he is like a helper who helps candidates find answers in open-book exams.
While looking at the flight altitude, heading, wind direction, and calculating position information, I quickly flipped through the pages of the QRH manual.
"If there is sufficient fuel, you can select the engine ignition mode to restart the engine..."
"I tried, but it didn't work! Change it!"
Before Gu Ji could finish reading, Bolton objected.
He continued to search.
"If an engine restart cannot be attempted, for example due to engine damage, fly at green dot speeds maintaining optimal lift-to-drag ratio to maximize remaining cabin preparation time and flight distance."
"Where we are now."
"Location, location, location..."
Gu Ji repeated silently in his mouth, his eyes like a scanner, quickly flashing back and forth between the computer data and the paper map, "318, west-northwest of San Luis Poto, heading 030, based on the current speed and heading, we will
Should land at Torreon Airport!”
Thanks to the heading mark bonus, in just a few seconds, he could tell the compass degrees, current reference city orientation, heading and other key data.
San Luis Potosi is a city in central Mexico, less than 200 kilometers away from Mazatlan, Sinaloa.
According to the current heading, the nearest airport is Torreon, which is 140 kilometers away and heading north.
But very quickly.
Gu Ji looked at the current altitude again, and his eyes changed.
Chapter completed!
