บท 195: Successful Landing
Chapter 47 - Successful Landing
Liao Fei would pull the control lever, align the airliner to the runway, reduce the flight speed, and everything looked fine. He had flown the simulator and knew this was the time to lower the landing gear, pulling the landing gear control lever from UP to DN on the white translucent plastic head in the middle of the console, off to the co-pilot's position.
He stared at the lights on the instrument panel to see if the landing gear was safely lowered. The main landing gear was down normally, but the lights showed that the nose landing gear did not extend.
The sweat on Liao Fei's head was coming down! The nose landing gear could not be lowered and the airliner would break when it landed on the runway as a result. The fuel tanks of the airliner would likely rupture, which in turn would lead to a devastating fire and explosion.
If the communication system was good, Liao Fei could still ask the tower at the air base to check if the landing gear was down, but what about now? He couldn't contact anyone at all.
Liao Fei tried again to lower the landing gear, but the nose landing gear light was still not on. Liao Fei had to make a difficult decision, whether to force a forced landing or look up the solution in the flight manual. However, for an airliner that could break and crash at any time, it was obviously too late to go through the manual and then go down to check.
Liao Fei looked at Lin Jiaqin and He Jiayu and said, "You all go back to your seats."
He Jiayu sat in the co-pilot's seat and said firmly, "I'm right here."
In the moment of life and death, she would never leave Liao Fei's side.
Lin Jiaqin didn't want to leave either, but she had no place to stay. The original seat belonging to the pilot was being sat by Dong Ying, so she couldn't get up while she was looking through the flight manual! Lin Jiaqin took a deep look at Liao Fei and went back to her seat. She knew that since there was no seat available, all she could do to help Liao Fei was not to cause him any trouble and not to distract him.
Wang Liqiang also pulled Ma Li and walked out, leaving the cockpit to Liao Fei, He Jiayu and Dong Ying.
Both the tower at Northolt RAF Base and the tower at Heathrow International Airport kept contacting Liao Fei, but there was no response whatsoever. When they saw the aircraft's landing gear lowered, then retracted, and then lowered again, they guessed that the aircraft's avionics system had malfunctioned. The landing gear had been lowered, but the person flying the plane should not know.
The key is whether the landing gear is lowered properly and will it be pressed back after touching the ground? If the landing gear can't support it, then the behemoth, which weighs 166.5 tons only, will hit the runway head-on as it rushes to the ground at 250 kilometers per hour.
There are also the flaps of the aircraft, to fully deploy the flaps after the aircraft touches the ground to help the aircraft slow down, but if the flaps are deployed early, the resulting stress will make the fuselage break.
The people at RAF Northolt had prepared for the worst and the airport emergency team was ready to deal with the worst case scenario.
Liao Fei didn't even have the heart to pray to the gods and goddesses of the sky at this time, stared at the runway and landed.
The plane's speed was reduced, but it was more difficult to control. At this time, Liao Fei heard the sound of the stall warning device, along with a vibration, alerting the pilot that the aircraft was flying too low.
Liao Fei hurriedly pushed the throttle control lever and pulled the main control lever to pull the nose back up.
The tail of the airliner was near the ground and reared headfirst into the high altitude.
This scene, let the hearts of the people of the Royal Air Force base in North Holt are seized up, just a little bit, will be destroyed.
The people in the Prime Minister's residence conference room are a lot of fancy guys, they see the plane before there is communication, then cut off the communication, and re-flight, and worry about whether it is Nelson's plan. They began to consider whether a shoot-down was necessary.
Hasseth would have been authorized to shoot down the airliner at any time as long as it was not on course. Instead of firing the missiles directly, he maneuvered his Typhoon fighter and flew over the airliner. He found that Liao Fei was operating nervously, knew that the plane was indeed in an unexpected situation, gave up firing the missiles, and reported the information up.
Liao Fei saw the pilot and tried to ask for help with him, asking him to help see if the landing gear was down, but the fighter jet flew past it in one go. And even if the fighter had been flying with it near the cockpit, the distance between the two would have been difficult to see the muzzle.
Passenger planes turn in the air, Liao Fei in the simulator when flying fighter jets, you can simply do some aerobatics, whether turning or rolling. Fighter planes are not the same as airliners. Liao Fei control ailerons when the amplitude is too large, the turn speed is too fast, too large. The tilt angle almost didn't scare the people on the plane to death.
The passengers on flight c993 today definitely experienced a trip to the soul, this series of experiences can be more exciting than a roller coaster ride too!
The airliner flew back to the position aligned with the runway. This time, to prevent stalling, Liao Fei had to choose a high-speed landing, and he changed the landing speed to 270 km/h, higher than the safe speed.
Liao Fei carefully controlled the landing of the aircraft and lifted the nose up 7 degrees a few seconds before grounding to allow the main landing gear to be grounded first. After the main wheels were grounded, Liao Fei slowly lowered the nose of the aircraft.
The airliner was under the control of Liao Fei, a novice, when the grounding was unusually bumpy, and after landing on the runway, the airliner quickly slid forward.
The fire trucks and emergency vehicles waiting at the edge of the airport started quickly and chased the airliner, once the accident happened, they had to rescue and extinguish the fire at the first time.
Originally, the minimum runway requirement for landing a Boeing 777 was about 1,500 meters or so. At most, it would not exceed the skidding distance of 3200 meters for takeoff. But Liao Fei piloted the airliner has run over 3000 meters, and is still at high speed towards the front. It looks like a few thousand meters more taxiing no problem.
But there is a key problem, this is not the largest air base in Britain, the runway is not that long. Unlike the super-long runway of Edward Air Force Base in California, USA, which has 11,265 meters, the runway here is only 6,000 meters, and once the runway distance is exceeded, the airliner will hit the wall head-on.
Although the plane landed safely, but it did not stop for a moment, the people on board can not breathe a sigh of relief. Dong Ying is still looking through the flight manual, although she usually did not drive the plane, but she flew in the sky every day, the plane's skidding distance or have an understanding. She knew where it must have been done wrong, not just the reason for the high-speed landing, the plane did not stop.
Finally, she found the reason and hurriedly shouted, "Quick, lower the flaps."
Liao Fei hurriedly took control and lowered the flaps to increase the plane's drag.
The airliner glided for another 1,000 meters or so with the drag of the flaps. The skidding and vibrations toward the front blew out one side of the front wheels of the airliner, and the plane went straight off the run to and skidded to the side.
Northolt RAF Base moved the fighters all far away, originally they thought it was far enough, but now they realized that it was still not enough. When it comes to people like Liao Fei who can't fly a plane, how long the runway can be used, putting the fighter in any position of the airport is dangerous.
The airliner rushed headlong into the group of Typhoon fighters, the plane glided on the grass and kept slowing down, but such a big guy just rushed to the runway next to the Typhoon fighters with a gentle kiss, it would also break it into pieces.
The commander of the Northolt RAF base stared at the plane from the tower, his heart collapsing out of his mouth. The price of a Typhoon is 77.7 million euros, which translates into 650 million yuan. To know that the United Kingdom only 232 Typhoon fighter jets, less a heartache, once the big airliner will be parked in a row of 10 Typhoon fighter jets are scrapped, the commander can vomit blood and die.
The commander did not care whether Liao Fei could hear, shouted in the tower: "turn, turn ah! You idiot, stupid. Turn now."
The airliner turned this way because of a flat tire, not because of Liao Fei's intentional sabotage. The airliner charged firmly towards the Typhoon fighter, like a brave knight, breaking into the enemy group alone.
Liao Fei also did not want to crash the airliner, not that he wanted to save the 6.5 billion RMB for the ten Typhoon fighters for the UK. Rather, he was worried about hitting the fighter and causing another explosion. He thought that his life and the lives of any Chinese nationals such as Lin Jiaqin were worth a lot more than these metal things. He turned the control stick slightly and did his best to avoid the fighters that were in his way.
He didn't dare to make a quick turn for fear that the tires wouldn't hold up. The airliner was turning, but not very fast.
The commander looked at the turning plane and chanted, "God forbid, must not touch the plane, must not ... ah! My plane."
The Boeing 777-300er was so huge, with a wingspan of 64.8 meters, that the airliner's wings cut right into the Typhoon fighter, which was only 5.28 meters high.
The huge wings and engines smashed the Typhoon fighter into pieces and fell down. One after another. Finally, the airliner came to a halt with the Typhoon fighters in the way. And the commander standing on the tower was already in tears. Ten Typhoon fighters had been completely scrapped, without the slightest possibility of repair. I'm afraid it will be able to remove some parts as accessories!
Dong Ying and other stewardesses quickly opened all the emergency exits on the airliner in order to avoid the plane from exploding. The airbags under the emergency exits popped out and formed a slope with the ground. Under the command of the stewardess and several bodyguards, the passengers slid to the ground in an orderly manner.
When they came to the ground, some of them knelt directly on the ground and kissed the earth, while others ran desperately to the side to get away from the airliner so as not to explode.
Soldiers from the Special Air Service Regiment sped up to the airliner in an SUV, jumped off quickly, and surrounded the airliner. And stopped all the passengers who ran away and did not allow them to leave.
The special soldiers with black hoods and heavily armed scared all those who intended to run away back with their black muzzles.
Dong Ying threw down the flight manual, rushed to Liao Fei's side, hugged him, kissed his face and said, "You're awesome."
Liao Fei hemmed and giggled, and He Jiayu also hugged him and kissed him.
Lin Jiaqin came to the cockpit and saw this scene just in time. Liao Fei smiled and asked, "Aren't you coming for a kiss?"
"Humph! You think I'm an ignorant girl like them?" Lin Jiaqin said disdainfully, putting on a high posture. Just as Liao Fei stood up, Lin Jiaqin jumped into his arms, kissed him on the lips, and said against his ear, "Thank you for saving me again!"
The soldiers of the aircrew rushed onto the airliner with the help of boarding ladders, partly to direct the passengers to evacuate in an orderly manner, and partly to guard everyone in order to avoid any residual terrorists.
A cheer rang out in the conference room of the Prime Minister's residence. The plane landed safely and the terrorists were taken down, which was a great blessing. The defense minister was so relieved that he could not wait to run to the air base himself and kiss the hero who had retaken the plane and landed it safely. As for crashing ten Typhoon fighters, and one crashed, sacrificing a pilot, Kent. It was all trivial to them, and at the very least there was no more negative political impact.
