Chapter 19 Unprecedented Side Slip

As Qin Xin expected, Jianchuan Airport has indeed entered a state of emergency. Not only are the planes on the ground unable to take off, but the approach area also does not accept aircraft. At this moment, the only airspace within a 60-kilometer radius of Jianchuan Airport is Feiyu 6321.

plane.

The aircraft did not approach according to the standard approach procedures, but joined the three sides under the command of the tower control. Normally, this task should be undertaken by the approach control seat, but in order to reduce the communication pressure on the crew, under the coordination of the duty supervisor

Next, the approach control work was directly merged into the tower.

Following the guidance of the radar, the aircraft turned to the fourth side and then moved to the fifth side at an angle of 30 degrees.

"Feiyu 6321 can establish a blind landing on runway 23 and completely establish a warning."

"You can set up a blind landing on the 23rd and set up a report."

As the tower gave permission to establish a blind landing, the captain made the final confirmation at the moment the co-pilot's voice fell back: "Route 231, frequency 108.15, identification code IUT, blind landing No. 23 can be established, channel

Reserve."

There were no problems with the flight path, navigation frequency, and blind landing identification code. The captain then pressed the VOR/LOC button to arm the localizer.

While waiting for the localizer interception, the captain glanced at the co-pilot and sighed when he saw the co-pilot sitting there like a sculpture.

He patted the co-pilot's shoulder and pointed back: "You can change seats with him."

This was unexpected by both the co-pilot and Xu Cang. As for the co-pilot, after being briefly stunned, he asked a key question: "Brother, is this legal?"

It doesn't seem very reasonable to replace a crew member without showing any signs of incapacitation. This was the co-pilot's subconscious reaction.

The captain kept a straight face and slowly squeezed out a sentence: "Under the current strong wind conditions, are you sure you can complete a single-engine landing? I mean in a real flight, not on a simulator."

Although the simulator can restore the operating environment of a real flight as much as possible, anyone who has flown it knows how big the difference is between the two. Whether it is the flight environment, aircraft performance, or the crew's control mentality, the two are completely incompatible.

Same thing.

The co-pilot took a deep breath, and he heard what the captain meant. The captain was obviously not sure about the landing, and wanted to replace him with Xu Cang, so that Xu Cang could help him at the critical moment.

After all, in this case, the co-pilot is basically useless for landing. Rather than letting the co-pilot continue to take the seat, which is not helpful to the key issues, it is better to place hope on Xu Cang, who looks very powerful.

Although Xu Cang kept saying that he was the captain, he was not a fool. What would he believe if Xu Cang said anything? But at this juncture, he had no choice.

Having said that, even though the co-pilot still had doubts about the compliance of the captain's substitution, he still had a clear idea of ​​priorities. If he wanted to accept the punishment, he would have to live with it.

Xu Cang originally thought that the captain would let him take his seat after one failed attempt. But now it seems that the captain said that the pressure he endured was greater than expected, so much so that he was not sure that he could even complete the go-around after the approach failed.

He silently unbuckled his seat belt, stood up, folded the seat, and prepared to temporarily retract the seat. At this time, the captain's voice sounded again: "I just thought about it for a long time, no matter what

, I can’t leave the plane to you alone, I have to be seated, so you can only sit on the right side. You may not be used to it, but this is my biggest concession!”

Many captains and even instructors will be a little uncomfortable returning to the right seat after flying in the left seat for a long time. Just like the co-pilot suddenly sits in the left seat, he will feel uncomfortable using his right hand to control the steering wheel.

In the captain's mind, Xu Cang was still regarded as a captain or above, even though there was no evidence to prove whether Xu Cang's words were correct.

"It's okay, it's the same." Xu Cang has no difference between his left and right hands. In his later generations, he has flown with too many senior co-pilots, captains and instructors in the left seat. At that time, he sat in the right seat and was already used to it.

When Xu Cang spoke, his tone was as calm as the calm water of an ancient well, without a trace of ripples, as if the thorny problems that could overwhelm a captain were nothing to him.

Xu Cang's words fell into the captain's ears, making him feel as if his heart was stabbed hard.

It's too big, the gap is too big! Any pilot with a little knowledge can understand their situation at this moment. However, Xu Cang's calm demeanor seemed to give him the illusion that he was just taking it easy.

The co-pilot also stood up and gave up his seat. The two of them staggered and Xu Cang stepped into the co-pilot's seat on the right. As soon as he sat down, the channel was intercepted.

"Wayway interception." Xu Cang quickly adapted to his role and was still making standard calls while fastening his seat belt.

"Yeah." The captain was obviously a little nervous, so he just responded softly, pressed the APP switch, armed the glide path, and adjusted the go-around course at the same time.

After fastening his seat belt and adjusting the seat position, Xu Cang touched the steering wheel, and the silky and cool touch was transmitted to the skin of his palm.

"I should still be here."

I don't know why, even though the situation is extremely dangerous, Xu Cang can feel extremely at ease as soon as he sits in this position and touches the steering wheel, as if he was born to belong here.

Xu Cang reached forward with his left foot and found that the left rudder was almost pressed to the bottom. He suddenly became confused: "Is the side slip that big?"

In reality, a single-engine aircraft will slip when the thrust is inconsistent, but it should not require the rudder to be fully depressed.

"I don't know why, is it the influence of the wind?" The captain actually didn't understand the reason in his heart: "It will enter the final stage of descent in a while, and the throttle will be reduced. Let's check again."

As the captain's voice fell and the glide path was intercepted, the captain adjusted the go-around altitude and gave the command at the same time: "Speed ​​check, wheel release, flaps fifteen."

If a single engine lands, flaps fifteen is the standard landing configuration.

Xu Cang confirmed that there was no abnormality in the speed, lowered the landing gear handle, and placed the flap handle in the fifteenth slot. At this moment, the aircraft had begun to descend along the glide path, and the pilot's perspective moved downwards to the end of Runway 23 of Jianchuan Airport.

Close your eyes.

It can only be said that God is quite generous. The visibility is estimated to be more than ten kilometers, and the sky is full of broken clouds, which basically does not affect the field of vision.

From a visual point of view, the angle between the direction of the aircraft's nose and the direction of the runway is estimated to be 45 degrees. This kind of sideslip is something Xu Cang has never seen before.
