Return to 2000: Captain of the Great Powers

In the cockpit, after the plane stopped, Richard's hands were trembling, his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and his whole face was as pale as white paper.

From the last 100 meters of the runway to when Xu Cang turned off the runway with lightning speed, under the action of ailerons and differential reverse thrust, he held down the aircraft that was about to roll over, and finally stopped smoothly.

From Xu Cang's voluntary departure to the stop of the plane, it seemed that Xu Cang was acting romantically and dazzled his eyes, but in fact the period was only a moment, and it was really a thunderstorm in an instant.However, this can better reflect Xu Cang's incomparable adaptability and manipulation ability.

In fact, it was only when the plane came to a complete stop that Richard began to gradually understand Xu Cang's series of operations.

"It's terrible, this person is terrible."

Richard only felt chills all over his body, which did not come from physical temperature changes but from the shock of his soul.

Before landing, Xu Cang told him that all engines should be turned off at the moment of touchdown to protect the two PW6000s.Once this kind of decision is made, it is easy to form thinking inertia, and it is not all smooth sailing on the eve of landing. Because the weird stall has restrained too much energy of Xu Cang and Richard, in fact, Xu Cang and Richard are in a second before landing. Richard hadn't even had the basic foresight to change the thing about shutting down the engine.

That is to say, at the moment when Xu Cang touched the ground and the sound of a tire blowout, he sketched out in his mind the subsequent use of the engine reverse thrust, which directly changed the previous plan.

This way of doing things, this ability to judge has never been polished.It is impossible for people to think rationally in such a short time, everything is just relying on instinct.

It is very dangerous to use the handwheel extensively at high speed, and it is extremely easy to cause rollover. Richard has a clear understanding of this.

As for the use of aileron control to suppress the rollover of the aircraft, Richard can also consider it, but the operation of relying on differential reverse thrust to reduce the turning time of the aircraft is simply beyond Richard's understanding.

Richard can understand the differential throttle very well. For a pilot of his level, the differential throttle is a relatively easy-to-use method.However, differential reverse thrust is really unheard of.

Under predictable circumstances, the aileron effect at low speed alone cannot suppress the rollover of the aircraft, so the time to turn out from the runway should not be too long. After all, if the time is too long, as the speed decreases, The rudder effect of the aileron will drop rapidly, that is, it will not be able to hold down the aircraft.

Therefore, the turn must be completed in an instant, and the inertial effect is used to re-flatten the large wings of the aircraft while the aircraft "does not react".

But looking back now, Xu Cang had to use two hands to control the handwheel, side stick and reverse push handle, and the operation interval was extremely small, which was really fast and precise.

First press the hand wheel with the left hand, then cross the right hand against the side stick, then hold the side stick with the forearm of the left hand to fix it, and finally release the right hand to press the reverse thrust of the No. [-] engine.

The time required for manipulation here is only a second or two. Is this really something humans can do?
"You've decided to use differential reverse thrust from the moment you touched the ground?" Richard leaned back in the chair, his shirt was soaked in sweat, he turned his head and looked at Xu Cang in a daze.

"Think?" Xu Cang straightened his body: "Do you think I have time to think, to think?"

Richard let out a long breath, as if he had lost his strength: "Then you obviously didn't mention differential reverse thrust before. Then you came up with these things on the spur of the moment?"

Xu Cang was also very weak at the moment, and the sequelae caused by the relaxation of an overly excited spirit were extremely obvious. Now he just wanted to sleep well, for three days and three nights.

Xu Cang put one hand on the visor and turned his face sideways: "At this time, I never think about it, and follow my instinct, that is my way of survival."

"Instinct?" Richard froze for a moment, "It's such an enviable word."

"That's right!" Xu Cang lowered his eyebrows: "So, I am unique."

Richard slowed down for a while, with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth: "Yes, you are unique."

After a while, Richard regained some strength, but he also felt the biting chill.After the engine is turned off, the components cannot work, and naturally the temperature in the cabin cannot be adjusted.

Looking at the vast expanse of whiteness outside, Richard pointed towards the back cabin: "Go down?"

Xu Cang didn't act immediately, but his face was gloomy: "Richard, have you never thought about what happened to the stall before landing?"

"Is that really a stall?" Richard was stunned: "I thought I was wrong in my judgment. But if it was a stall and you pulled the lever so hard, why didn't the stall get worse, instead it seemed to have recovered? I pushed the lever before It had no effect."

Xu Cang shook his head: "If I'm not wrong, this stall is extremely rare. The cause is not on the wings, but on the elevator."

"Elevator, elevator stall?" Richard showed a little thoughtful look: "Is there any precedent for elevator stall in large passenger aircraft? I only heard of a military transport aircraft when I was serving in the Air Force."

"Elevator stall. It's really rare, but only the elevator stall can explain everything we encountered." Xu Cang organized his words a little bit: "I also thought about the stick shake warning when I was diving before. At that time, the aircraft was very fast. Big, the angle of attack was actually kept very small, but the stick shake warning still occurred. After that, I tried to eliminate the warning by pushing the stick, but the result was in vain. On the eve of landing, we encountered the same situation. Of course , this time there was no stick shaker, but from the drooping change of the nose of the plane, it can be basically judged that the plane is stalling."

"Your handling of the stall is still the push rod, and the feedback is still ineffective." Xu Cang's words contained a trace of anger: "During the dive before, this is a rare situation for large passenger aircraft. The aerodynamic performance is relatively complicated. There may be some special situations, which may not be representative. However, once it is special, it is not necessarily twice, and it must have its inevitability."

Richard pursed his lips: "If the elevator stalls, it can indeed perfectly explain the various abnormalities encountered before."

The speed of the aircraft is usually limited to a large wing stall, and recovery from the stall by ramming is indeed standard procedure in this situation.However, if the elevator is stalled, the ejector is not a procedure, but a reverse maneuver.

In the event of an elevator stall, sticking is the recovery procedure.

Both are stalls, and just because of the different locations, the handling procedures are completely different.

However, why do flight schools, airlines or almost all other flight training institutions only perform ejector control on stalls?That shows from the side how rare the elevator stall is, so rare that it is not worth listing as a separate situation.

At least neither Xu Cang nor Richard has heard of anyone who has encountered an elevator in the field of large passenger aircraft. Even if it is extended to the military field, there are only a handful of examples.

There are many reasons why the elevator stall is much less likely to occur than the wing stall.Take the stall caused by icing as an example, before the elevator freezes, the icing of the wing will only become more serious, so before the elevator stalls, the wing has already stalled, so it is naturally impossible to encounter it.

However, in the natural environment, the probability of elevator stalling is indeed too small, too small.

After Richard heard about the possibility of the elevator stalling, he didn't think too much about whether it was true, but thought about what it would mean if it was.

"Someone is doing something?" Richard's face was very ugly, so gloomy that he almost dripped water.

Instead of believing in the small and small probability of natural occurrence, human-caused causes are obviously more worthy of consideration.

Xu Cang snorted: "If so, these people are very scheming."

Previously, Xu Cang expected that some people or some people did not want the people from the Alps Manor to come back, so they probably would do it to him.Therefore, he asked Richard to arrange some private security. As a result, everything was calm before take-off. At that time, Xu Cang thought he was thinking too much.

But now it seems that the minds of this group of people are really ruthless.

It is indeed too conspicuous to send killers above board.On the contrary, God didn't know it, and it moved on the plane without anyone noticing, and the movements were extremely clever and secretive.Cause elevator stall in some way, such stall is actually counter-intuitive, even many experienced pilots don't think about the possibility of elevator stall.

Just like Richard, didn't he fall into this psychological trap before, and almost let the plane hit the runway head-on.

To be honest, this method is really suitable for experienced pilots like Xu Cang and Richard.If the pilot who was sitting on it was an average level pilot who didn't hear the stick shake warning and saw the nose of the plane drooping, he didn't have to think about it and just took the stick directly, and nothing would happen.

That is to say, pilots like Xu Cang and Richard thought too much and thought too far, but their cleverness was misunderstood by their cleverness, which almost caused a catastrophe.

The psychological game involved is eerie and ruthless.

Moreover, the wind and snow in the Alps are extremely strong. Even if it is found out afterwards that the cause was the elevator stall caused by the icing of the plane, it is also in line with environmental factors, and it is unlikely to link the crash of the plane with man-made.

"Did they tamper with the anti-icing fluid?" Richard became more and more annoyed, but also more and more strange: "But...the anti-icing fluid should be fine, didn't you check it before taking off?"

Xu Cang snorted: "These people are thoughtful, and now I'm afraid they will erase the traces. If we crash, the cause of the plane accident will only be the severe icing of the plane caused by the environment, and it has nothing to do with them. Good method .”

"Damn it, I'll go down and take a look." Richard has nothing to think about now, he just plans to go down to see what's going on with the plane's elevator.

At this moment, the passenger elevator car waiting outside the airport drove over unsteadily.The plane itself did not stop on the runway, and the ground was completely covered with snow. Judging from the ruts run by the wheels, it should have entered the grass.

The passenger elevator car does not know the road conditions, so it can only slow down and touch it slowly.

After a few minutes, the passenger elevator truck finally arrived at the plane, and at the same time, two unloading transmission trucks also came.

"Go down and see!"

Richard took out the down jacket he had prepared from the cloakroom, wrapped it up, and opened the front cabin door of the plane by himself.As soon as it drove off, the wind and snow mountains outside rushed towards the tsunami, which almost made Richard unable to stand still.

However, at this moment, Richard's chest was full of anger. He was not afraid of the wind and snow, and the ice and snow on the passenger ladder fell down.

As soon as we went down, a well-wrapped cargo handling staff ran over: "Captain, is there any problem with the plane? If there is no problem, we will start unloading."

Richard glanced at the manor in the distance, where many people looked over through the windows, and there was hope for their survival on the plane.

"It's a flat tire. It's not a big problem. Remember to put the wheel chocks on. The wind is strong, so don't let the plane move." Richard ordered.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he took a mouthful of snow, and couldn't keep his eyes open.He finally understood why the people here were all relying on the supplies from the outside world. Even if he was wrapped in a thick down jacket, it was still not very useful. There was no heating supplies here, so he couldn't carry it at all.

"I know, I know." The loading and unloading staff nodded hurriedly: "The wheel chocks have been put in place, then we will start unloading, thank you, captain, thank you, captain."

Richard's coming here this time was a chance for them to survive, and the stevedore wished to kowtow to Richard.

"go Go."

After thanking Richard, the loading and unloading personnel greeted their colleagues and shouted: "Start unloading, pay attention to the time, 15 minutes a turn."

The outside temperature is too low, and the exposure time should not be too long, otherwise it may cause frostbite.The loading and unloading personnel are divided into two groups, one group comes out, and the other group rests in the house to keep warm. The rotation cycle is 15 minutes, which can protect the loading and unloading personnel to the greatest extent.

Perhaps there was a shortage of supplies, and these loading and unloading staff worked extremely hard.

It should be due to lack of fuel. There is only a small cart pulling goods here. When the cart is full, some people run to the manor with the goods directly.When they ran into the manor, they could faintly hear cheers coming from it.

After Xu Cang put on his clothes and came out, he just felt as if he had entered an ice cellar.He broke out in sweat at the moment when he finally landed. When the components were opened, the inside of the plane was still warm. Now that he came out, the cold wind poured in. It felt like the sweat was about to freeze, which was extremely uncomfortable.

After he got off the passenger elevator, he happened to see the bustling work scene of the loading and unloading staff.

At this moment, two tall men walked over from the tower in the distance, they were Ailandi and Isiris.

Isiris witnessed Xu Cang's car drifting operation on the control tower. When he came up to him, he was full of surprise: "Mr. Xu, your skills are really impressive."

Xu Cang frowned: "You are?"

"Oh, I'm Ashley Stuart, President of British Airways."

Ai Randi, who was narrating, also introduced himself: "CEO of Luo Luo, Ai Randi."

"It's a pleasure to meet you." Xu Cang nodded slightly, as a greeting.

Aisiris was obviously more excited to see Xu Cang, and was about to say something, but was pushed lightly by Ai Randi, and immediately came to his senses: "Sorry, Mr. Xu, I have something, we will talk about it later .”

After finishing speaking, Esiris walked to the front cargo hold, dismissed the stevedore who was driving inside, and walked into the cargo hold from the conveyor belt. After about a minute, when he came out, he was already carrying a black four-wheeler in his hand. Boxy boxes.

Xu Cang glanced at it. There was a combination lock on the box, and the protection measures were very careful.

"Anything more interesting?" Xu Cang said with a light smile.

Asiris returned to Arandi, laughing loudly: "It's just some gadgets, to prevent accidents, to prevent accidents."

Xu Cang raised his eyebrows: "I advise you to lock them all the time. The supplies you brought this time are enough for your needs. If you really want to reveal those things at that time, I'm afraid it's not the way to protect yourself. It's a way to bring disaster. Even if you pampered gentlemen have guys, they probably don't have much fighting power."

What Xu Cang said was very straightforward, but Ai Randi and Ai Siris did not feel annoyed at all because Xu Cang poked the things in their boxes, Ai Randi just laughed: "I hope so too .”

"Supplies are provided according to the minimum standard for survival, not for your enjoyment, so pay attention to what you should have." Xu Cang snorted coldly.

If everyone can follow the planned allocation, then everyone can survive.However, Xu Cang was afraid that those guys who were used to a wealthy life would be greedy and rob other people's supplies, causing chaos.

In this case, if a deadly weapon is shown, it will be easier to intensify the conflict.

Xu Cang's words are to warn the rich and powerful represented by Ai Randi and Ai Xilisi to abide by the quota standard and not to have any extravagant thoughts.

Ai Randi nodded slightly: "That's natural!"

Xu Cang wanted to say something, but suddenly heard a roar like a volcanic eruption not far away: "Who is it!?"

The three of them were startled and looked towards the source of the sound.I saw Richard standing under the tail of the plane and looking up. In his sight, the elevators of the plane were already covered with ice accumulation, which was much more serious than the large wings.

Xu Cang's eyes were slightly cold: "Someone really did something wrong!"
