(The last chapter has been changed, and the plot has completely changed. Please take a look at the changed part of the previous chapter, otherwise it will not match this chapter and the subsequent plot.)
In the cockpit, the plane bounced high after landing and going around, and then rushed into the sky again.As the sunrise is approaching and the intensity of convection increases, the aircraft has become more and more difficult to control under the condition of a single engine with high thrust and high elevation angle.

Fortunately, Shi Qi's technique was quite proficient, even though the difficulty was quite high, he still firmly controlled the plane.At this moment, Shi Qi already felt that the plane's response to the control of the wing surface was a little sluggish. This might be a problem with the hydraulic system.

Similar to Boeing's AB plus three sets of spare hydraulic systems, Airbus aircraft also has three sets of hydraulic systems, namely green, yellow and blue three-color hydraulic systems.Of course, this color is only for distinguishing, and does not really represent any actual meaning.

Among them, the green system is similar to Boeing's A system, which provides pressure by the pump driven by the No. [-] engine, and the yellow system provides pressure by the hydraulic pump driven by the No. [-] engine. In addition, there is an electric hydraulic pump, and there is even a hand pump. In order to operate the cargo door when there is no power.As for the blue system, it is driven by an electric pump. In an emergency, the ram turbine can also be extended to provide operation, that is, a small fan is protruded from the belly.

Strictly speaking, the three sets of hydraulic systems are isolated from each other, but they can be complemented by certain devices, such as power components and the like.

However, as the splash debris from the explosion of the No. [-] engine penetrated the fuselage structure, it seems that it not only affected the connection lines of the engine control system, but also broke some hydraulic pipes.

Of course, if only one system has a problem, at least there will be no particularly serious problems in the main airfoil control.For example, the left and right ailerons that master the main roll function can not only be pressured by the green system, but also by the blue system.

This is what is called backup thinking.That is to say, for a collection of precision devices like a large passenger aircraft, there are usually at least two sets of mutually backup systems on key systems to ensure a safety margin.

In theory, even a single hydraulic system could provide power for all wing movements.However, in actual operation, if the hydraulic pressure required for a short period of time is too large during certain large-scale wing surface activities, a single hydraulic system may not be able to bear it, which will lead to a certain degree of hysteresis in wing surface control .

Logically speaking, the fragments from the explosion of the No. [-] engine should only penetrate the hydraulic pipes of the green system, causing hydraulic oil to leak.However, at this time, no one can guarantee that the rest of the hydraulic system is also ok.

If two sets of hydraulic systems, or even all three sets, fail, it will be catastrophic for flight control.As a result, Shi Qi, who had always been calm, gradually began to panic.

After the plane reached 1000-[-] meters and stabilized again, Wu Taiming, who had been waiting for a long time, took off his seat belt and was about to get up to find Xu Cang.

"Take him directly to the front cabin workshop, and then you come in, and I'll talk to him." Originally, Shi Qi wanted to find Xu Cang in one step by himself, but the thought of going out like this with four bars on his back didn't seem to affect the effect. That's great, it's better to pull Xu Cang to the front cabin work room first, and when the curtain is pulled, it's convenient for him to come out.

"Okay!" Wu Taiming nodded, but as soon as he went out, Wang Baotian didn't sit down, but went out with Wu Taiming.

After coming out, Wu Taiming was just about to go to find Xu Cang, but was stopped by the No. [-] flight attendant who stayed behind in the front cabin working room.The bouncing go-around on the second approach was really scary, and the flight attendant No. [-] couldn't bear it psychologically, and she was eager to understand the situation.

The unknown is the greatest fear.

Even if Wu Taiming wanted to explain clearly to flight attendant No. [-] at this time, but at this moment, even he could not understand the state of the plane, so how could he tell No. [-]?
"Is Xu Cang still in the position just now?" Wu Taiming had to selectively ignore No. [-]'s question, and asked about Xu Cang's affairs instead.

Before that, Wu Taiming came out to check the working condition of the reverse thrust shutter of the No. [-] engine. By the way, he asked Xu Cang's seat number, which was what the No. [-] flight attendant told him.

Flight attendant No. [-] knew that Wu Taiming could avoid her question now, but she had already guessed all kinds of things. It seemed that the situation at this moment was really tricky.However, seeing that Wu Taiming was still trying to solve it, she seemed to have regained some confidence.

"Yes, he's still there."

"Okay!" Wu Taiming didn't dare to stay, and hurriedly ran over to the cabin.

However, just as Wu Taiming left, Wang Baotian came out with his back.He bumped into flight attendant No. [-] head-on, and originally he was going to cross directly.However, as soon as he took a step, he suddenly seemed to think of something, and called No. [-] directly: "Is there an ordinary passenger in the first class besides the extra crew?"

"Yes, there is a gold card." No. [-] flight attendant vaguely knew Wang Baotian's identity, so his attitude was very respectful: "Teacher, do you have any orders?"

Wang Baotian yelled: "Transfer that passenger to the economy class. If it's not possible, it's okay to switch to the business class temporarily. Anyway, the entire front cabin workshop and the first class cabin must be vacated, and no outsiders are allowed."

Steward No. [-] didn't know what Wang Baotian meant, so he could only say, "Teacher, we don't have the right to forcibly change the passenger's seat, unless there is a reasonable reason."

However, Wang Baotian didn't bother to argue with No. [-] at all, and directly recruited the aviation security officer standing on the aisle of the first-class cabin.

The aviation security officer didn't know why, just as he approached, he saw Wang Baotian pointing to the third flight attendant: "You will accompany her to change the first-class passenger. If the passenger disagrees, you will endanger the safety of the plane." to take coercive measures against it.”

"Teacher, if the passenger did not act excessively, I have no right to take coercive measures against them. If the investigation is carried out afterwards, I will be dealt with very seriously." After all, the aviation security officer is not a policeman, and his law enforcement power is strictly limited. It is a very serious violation of discipline to take compulsory measures against innocent passengers indiscriminately.

Wang Baotian looked at Wu Taiming who had already run to the economy class: "Soon there will be a discussion about the life and death of the entire aircraft crew, do you think this is suitable for outsiders to hear?"

"This..." No. [-] flight attendant and aviation security officer were shocked by what Wang Baotian said.What Wang Baotian said was so heavy that they couldn't believe it.

Wang Baotian sneered and said, "Why, don't you feel it? Maybe you know that the problem may be serious, but you don't feel how serious it is, right? Let me tell you straight, if you are a little careless, The whole machine was overturned, do you think this reason is enough?"

"Enough, enough!" The aviation security officer did not doubt Wang Baotian's words, and hurriedly said to the third flight attendant: "Let's go, let's go, listen to the teacher."

Flight attendant No. [-]'s heart was pounding. After a moment of stunned, she finally came to her senses. She didn't say anything anymore, but followed the aviation security officer to persuade the first-class gold card user.

Seeing that the No. [-] flight attendant was moved, Wang Baotian headed for the business class. As soon as he entered, those meritorious pilots in the business class cast eager eyes.

"Old Wang, what happened to the plane?" Not only the flight attendants and safety officers, but also the meritorious pilots sitting in the business class were not sure.Not in the cockpit, they can guess not much more than flight attendants and security officers.

Wang Baotian didn't directly answer these people's questions, but pointed back: "I think you should go to the front together."

Just as Wang Baotian vacated the front cabin workshop and the first-class cabin to gather relevant personnel forward, Wu Taiming had already found Xu Cang in the economy class.

This is the second time Wu Taiming has entered the economy class.The first time, some people just cast curious eyes on him, but this time it was obvious that the passengers had begun to lose their composure, and some even stood up and questioned Wu Taiming sharply.

When Wu Taiming was about to walk in front of Xu Cang's seat, a strong man sitting on the aisle grabbed Wu Taiming directly, shouting for Wu Taiming to give an explanation.

Wu Taiming himself doesn't have an explanation, how can he give him an explanation?Let's say that this man has a big shoulder and a round waist, and Wu Taiming is so powerful that he can't break free.

"Security officer!" In desperation, Wu Taiming turned his head and yelled at the security officer in casual clothes in the economy class in the front row.

This aviation security officer will not wear a uniform, just like ordinary passengers, and the seat is often changed.But other passengers couldn't tell the difference, so why didn't the crew know?
Normally, this security officer exists as a secret sentinel, echoing with the aviation security officer in the front on the bright side.But at such a critical moment, how can Wu Taiming care about these things, he has no time to mingle with the passengers!
The casually dressed security officer saw that the crew was in trouble, and it was Wu Taiming who called by name again, so he stopped hiding and stepped forward to help.

Although the security officer was not that strong, he was very capable. With a strong wrist, Wu Taiming was separated from the passengers in an instant.The passenger probably acted out of desperation, so the security officer didn't make too much trouble, he just asked him not to affect Wu Taiming.

The movement on Wu Taiming's side caught Xu Cang's attention. As soon as he raised his head, he saw that Wu Taiming had come in a hurry.

"What are you doing?" Xu Cang was taken aback by Wu Taiming's aura.

However, Wu Taiming didn't talk nonsense with Xu Cang this time, he untied Xu Cang's seat belt, without saying a word, grabbed Xu Cang's wrist and pulled it forward.

Xu Cang's weak body, which could withstand the pull of the much stronger Wu Taiming, was pulled all the way to the front cabin.

Passing through the business class and reaching the cockpit door of the front cabin workshop, Wu Taiming finally let go of Xu Cang.At this moment, Xu Cang looked around and noticed that the more than 20 meritorious pilots had all gathered together, almost filling the entire space of the front cabin workshop and the connected first-class cabin.

"I didn't expect it to be so lively." Xu Cang looked at the group of staring-eyed meritorious pilots without giving in, and even spoke a little sarcasm.

"You just stand here." Wu Taiming warned, and then knocked on the door of the cockpit.Soon, the locking system of the cockpit door was unlocked, and Wu Taiming opened the door and entered.Not long after, the replaced Shi Qi came out of the cockpit.

In this way, a group of meritorious pilots, Shi Qi and Xu Cang gathered together for the first time.

"You just let a co-pilot look inside the malfunctioning plane?" Xu Cang said coldly.

"The door is not locked. As long as there is a problem, I will go in and control the plane as soon as possible." Shi Qi patted the cockpit door that was not closed, and then stared at Xu Cang: "Besides, I feel that compared to this It's a little risky, and I think it's necessary to clarify some things with you."

"If it's about this plane, I've made it clear to Wu Taiming before." Xu Cang flicked his nails, then put his hands behind his back, and looked around the meritorious pilot: "But if it's about other things, I feel There doesn't seem to be much to talk about, especially with you guys."

After saying this, the expressions of all the meritorious pilots were extremely exciting.In fact, after Wang Baotian relayed the situation of the plane before, they also got together to discuss it for a while, and they still felt that it was almost unsolvable at this moment, as if there was no sure landing plan, and they had to expect to be sued by them afterwards Xu Cang is really sarcastic.

Xu Cang did not target Shi Qi, but Shi Qi couldn't help frowning when he saw Xu Cang's appearance.He didn't care much about Xu Cang's mocking of those meritorious pilots. In fact, from a personal point of view, he even agreed with what Xu Cang did.Because among this group of meritorious deeds, except for a very few, many of them are relying on the old to sell the old, which is really unrespectable.

The only thing that Shi Qi cares about is that Xu Cang's expression seems to be too calm.If he wasn't a saint, Shi Qi couldn't believe that someone could show such calmness when facing life and death.

Apparently, rather than believing that Xu Cang has a transcendent spiritual realm, Shi Qi thinks that Xu Cang has a way to ensure his safety, at least it is a high probability event.

"You have a way to land?" Xu Cang's performance made Shi Qi more and more convinced that he has the ability to deal with the current situation.

Xu Cang frowned involuntarily: "Could you be counting on me? In your eyes, I'm not worthy of virtue, and I should be called by myself. How come you start counting on me?"

"If we didn't all fly Boeing, would we still need you?" A meritorious pilot said angrily.

There is some truth to this sentence, this time the luck is really not very good, it happens to be an Airbus model that they are completely unfamiliar with.There is no way, Airbus aircraft has only been in China for five years, and some of those present have retired for more than five years. How can there be a chance to touch Airbus aircraft?Even if there is a chance, at such an advanced age, who would bother to change the model when they are about to retire?
"Old Zeng, shut up!" At this time, an old teacher stopped the person who was speaking in front of him. This person was the old teacher who had said a few good words for Xu Cang in the small conference room of Shanhang Airlines.He has no personal grievances towards Xu Cang, he just thinks that Xu Cang is too young, and he just hopes that the bureau will give a convincing statement, so his attitude towards Xu Cang is not bad: "Little brother, I know you are right. We have some grievances. But in the current situation, we are grasshoppers on a rope, so there is no need to fight internally at this time."

Xu Cang shook his head, and said very seriously: "Teacher, you made a mistake about one thing, we are not grasshoppers on a rope. If you go back to Qizhou Airport to gamble your life, if you have a [-]% chance of surviving, That's at least eighty percent, and that's the difference."

Judging from the current signs, flight 9451 is really too similar to the cursed flight 1549 in his memory. Except for the difference in the location of the accident and the airline company, the rest of the faults are almost exactly the same.

Then, Xu Cang has reason to believe that if he chooses to make a forced landing on land, the ending of the two should be similar.In the later Flight 1549, the crew chose to make an emergency landing on land when they were desperate. In the end, the fuselage broke and almost all the people on board died.

"Don't bluff people here. Landing on land, the fuselage is the easiest to break in the middle. It happens to be where you are seated. You are obviously the most dangerous." Someone couldn't understand Xu Cang and tried to expose Xu Cang's lies .

Under normal circumstances, what this person said is really all right, Xu Cang's seat is indeed the most dangerous place.However, according to the memory of flight 1549, after the emergency landing, the plane was not broken into two pieces as usual, but was broken into three pieces in a rare way. The few people who survived that time were all passengers in the middle class, and it was Xu Cang. there.

Xu Cang raised his chin: "Then what are you talking about, let's go down and see, who lives and who dies?"

"You" made the person who spoke just now speechless with such a firm attitude, he suddenly stepped forward and stared at Xu Cang: "Why do you think you can survive?"

These people are all old and mature, and they can roughly tell whether Xu Cang is trying to be brave or whether he has confidence.However, everyone looked at Xu Cang as if he had a plan in mind, and he was not afraid of going back to Qizhou.

At this moment, Shi Qi also stood up, and said earnestly: "Xu Cang, if you really have a way, you might as well point it out, now is not the time to be angry. We are not the only ones on the plane, there are more than 100 other passengers."

For Shi Qi, Xu Cang's attitude is quite good.At this time, he also expressed his inner thoughts: "Teacher Shi, if there is a way to ensure everyone's safety, why would I not try it, but it is too dangerous, and I can only choose to protect myself. Teacher Shi, You must have tried to forcibly shut down the engine just now?"

"We tried turning off the main engine switch, but it didn't work. Turning off the timing of the engine shutdown under the fuel pump is too difficult to grasp. I don't think it is a last resort, so I can't try it."

Xu Cang suggested: "Then why not try to reach a high enough altitude, and then turn off the fuel pump at a high altitude. As long as there is enough altitude, do a non-powered gliding landing with both engines turned off. , is it feasible after all?”

It was precisely because he was not sure about the delay of the engine flameout after turning off the fuel pump, so Xu Cang felt that he should simply go up to a high enough altitude, such as the last [-] feet.Of course, this [-] feet is only an estimated value. If the No. [-] engine has no abnormal reverse thrust, it should be able to go up to more than [-] feet.But now with reverse thrust, it is unknown whether it can go up to [-] feet.

Anyway, as long as you wait calmly for the engine to turn off after the fuel pump is turned off under the condition of a high altitude ratio with a huge margin, and then make an approach with unpowered gliding with both engines turned off.

When both engines fail, the most worrying thing is the lack of height. As long as the height margin is sufficient, there is still a certain degree of maneuverability when the two engines fail to land.

As soon as Xu Cang said this, everyone in the field was amazed. This method of creating enough redundancy for oneself is indeed a feasible way.

"Shi Qi, this method seems to be feasible?" Even Wang Baotian, who had great opinions on Xu Cang, thought it was feasible.

However, Shi Qi was a little annoyed: "Xu Cang, in the 9811 incident, you only calculated an approach trajectory based on mental calculations. Why? Because the wind in the field was very stable at that time. This kind of thing that needs to rely on calculations is the most important thing. Taboo airflow disorder, now that the time is approaching sunrise, the convection is getting stronger and stronger, and the height-to-distance ratio has not been calculated at all. If you think it is feasible, you can go by yourself. Now I just want to know what is the risky plan you mentioned?"

"Teacher Shi, since I am sure of protecting myself, why would I put myself in danger? Why do you think I would do that?" Xu Cang's eyes moved away from Shi Qi, and turned to those meritorious deeds. On the pilot: "Or, if I accompany you on an adventure, shouldn't you express it?"

hiss!
As soon as these words came out, even Shi Qi felt inconceivable.It was the moment of life and death, and Xu Cang actually blackmailed all the meritorious pilots in public.

Some of the grumpy and meritorious pilots were about to explode in anger: "You little bastard, I said you are not a good thing, and now you are taking advantage of others."

However, Xu Cang didn't chat with these people at all, he stretched out three fingers: "Make a decision!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Cang bent down one of his fingers, leaving only two fingers.

Such actions made the scalps of all the meritorious pilots go numb, Xu Cang is simply lawless, but they really can't do anything about Xu Cang.

Some of the overwhelmed pilots yelled at Xu Cang, but this didn't stop Xu Cang from bending his second finger.There was only the last finger left, and those mad pilots even forgot the insults, and held their breath, not knowing what to do.

"Okay, what are your conditions?" It was at this critical moment that Wang Baotian spoke, making a decision like a leader: "As long as you can let us live safely, we can promise you one condition."

However, Xu Cang laughed, shook his head immediately, and pointed directly at Wang Baotian: "They agreed to me, and it has nothing to do with you. I don't need you to promise me anything, our account will be settled later."

This time, Wang Baotian's old face turned red, this Xu Cang really insulted him in public.However, what Wang Baotian said just now was an opportunity for a group of meritorious pilots who couldn't be ashamed to go down the slope. Regardless of Wang Baotian, they all nodded and expressed their willingness to agree to Xu Cang's conditions.

"Security officer, come here!" Xu Cang waved to the security officer, and said when the security officer was stunned: "The law enforcement recorder is on!"

"Ah?" The security officer didn't quite understand what it meant: "Do you want to drive now?"

"Of course it is now." Xu Cang said with a sneer, "There is nothing to prove, we have to leave some evidence."

Those meritorious pilots all looked embarrassed. Just now some of them really had the intention of agreeing first and then regretting it afterwards, but they didn't expect Xu Cang to be so cunning that he would actually record them.

But the teacher who had a better attitude than Xu Cang didn't care much, he asked Xu Cang softly: "Little brother, what do you want us to do?"

Xu Cang seemed to have been planning for a long time, and almost blurted out: "As meritorious pilots, you should have the right to recommend the domestic ICAO flight specialists! This is what I want!"

As soon as these words came out, even Shi Qi behind Xu Cang turned pale, and Wang Baotian among them was even more thoughtful. A series of times were connected, and he thought of a terrible idea: "You have been here since the beginning. Are you trying to get the recommendation of our flight specialist? You have to get out of the control of the Civil Aviation Administration!"

Xu Cang's face was indifferent: "CAAC is a shackle for me, it has given me too many restrictions, I naturally want to break it."

The civil aviation administrations of member states within the jurisdiction of ICAO can regularly select a certain number of pilots to serve within ICAO, and there is a position of flight commissioner, which is a little bit similar to the appointed representative of the bureau, which is equivalent to Representative of ICAO in a Member State.

Because the working relationship belongs to the International Civil Aviation Organization, the civil aviation bureaus of the local member states have very weak jurisdiction over the flight commissioners of the International Civil Aviation Organization, which is exactly what Xu Cang said is needed.

"Okay, okay! We thought you were a sheep, but it turns out that you are the one who eats people." Wang Baotian never expected that Xu Cang would use this to force the palace to get the recommendation right of their flight specialist. This hand is extremely ruthless.

"The situation is like this, let's make a decision." Xu Cang shouted.

"Okay, okay, okay!" On the contrary, Wang Baotian can afford it and let it go: "Xu Cang, you are ruthless! As long as I live, I will recommend you to the General Administration, okay!"

However, Xu Cang shook his head again: "One more you is not much, and one less you is not much. As I said just now, I will settle the account with you slowly. Moreover, you will soon have no right to recommend."

Wang Baotian's eyes widened, and he understood the meaning of Xu Cang's words: "You want to deprive me of my title? It's up to you!"

Only meritorious pilots are qualified to recommend. If the title of meritorious pilot is deprived, then the right to recommend will naturally be lost.But he didn't understand why Xu Cang dared to say that he could take away his title.

However, Xu Cang didn't answer his words, and looked around: "What about you?"

With such a situation, the rest of the people agreed to recommend Xu Cang, which made Xu Cang very satisfied. These days, pretending to be a grandson finally paid off.

"You agreed, and that's not the final decision. This matter is related to the people of the whole plane, and they have to make a decision." So Xu Cang walked directly to the economy class.

Behind him, the impatient meritorious pilot shouted: "What is the method you said, if we don't go back to Qizhou, where are we going?"

Xu Cang didn't turn around, and just turned his back to everyone: "If you can't do it on land, you can go to sea! Above the East China Sea, that's our direction."

　It was supposed to be daily, but last night I suffered from insomnia and took too much nap, so it was too late, sorry
