Joining Sichuan Airlines starts with rescuing the captain of a powerful country

Chapter 139: The fire was successfully extinguished, but we still faced a desperate situation with no possibility of survival.
Xu Yichen quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Then he turned his attention to the "Aircraft Operation Manual" in his hand again.

He has just found the relevant content.

But at that time, the aircraft was still in the climbing phase, and it needed to maintain a steady stream of sufficient power to push the aircraft to climb continuously.

So that's not the best time to put out the fire.

Now that the aircraft has gotten rid of the invisible killer of low altitude and low speed and has climbed to an altitude of 1000 meters, it is time to put out the fire.

"The first step is to turn off the fire alarm bell." Xu Yichen looked at the "Aircraft Operation Manual", then turned to look at Lu Qingzhou.

Lu Qingzhou was almost amused by him.

Big brother.

You don't have ears, do you?

Can the fire alarm sound still be heard in the cockpit now?
Seeing the helpless expression on Lu Qingzhou's face, Xu Yichen reacted belatedly.

He quickly turned his head and looked at the operation manual again.

"The second step is to turn off the autothrottle." Xu Yichen said loudly.

Lu Qingzhou immediately reached out and grasped the throttle valve lever again.

Then press the gear lever button twice to disengage the autothrottle.

Lu Qingzhou has done this step several times.

Why now he still followed the steps in the operation manual again.

the reason is simple.

That is, even if he has learned all the operating procedures by heart, there is still the possibility of omissions.

And although the situation is urgent now, it is not urgent.

There is also a certain buffer time.

In this case, why not strictly follow the operating procedures in the operation manual and completely block the bug space?

As a mature captain, Lu Qingzhou knows when to rush and when to slow down.

Seeing that he had completed the second step with ease, Xu Yichen said loudly, "Step three, retract the thrust handle."

Lu Qingzhou immediately pulled down the thrust handle without any hesitation.

The purpose of this is to reduce the flow of fuel to the engine.

Because the right engine is the ignition point, if you continue to allow fuel to flow to the engine, you will be fighting the fire. The more you put out the fire, the bigger the fire will be.

Therefore, if you want to put out the fire, you must first cut off the 'dry wood' at the fire point.

"Step four, disconnect the starting handle." Xu Yichen's voice rang again.

Lu Qingzhou immediately returned the starting handle to the cutoff position and completed the fourth step.

"Step five, pull up the fire alarm handle."

Lu Qingzhou first closed the engine fuel valve, then pulled up the fire alarm handle, rotated the handle to the left, and released the haloalkane fire extinguishing agent.

The fire alarm system of the Airbus A320 passenger aircraft has two fire extinguishing bottles. These two fire extinguishing bottles are located in the upper left corner of the main wheel well. After pulling up the fire alarm handle, the aircraft can spray haloalkane fire extinguishing agent and start extinguishing the fire.

This is the complete fire-fighting operation process for Airbus A320 series passenger aircraft.

Pull up the handle to cut off the oil, gas and electricity supply to the engine, and turn the handle to the left to spray fire extinguishing agent.

This fire extinguishing process is very scientific and effective.

The first step is to control the spread of the fire, and the second step is to spray fire extinguishing agent to extinguish the fire.

In particular, haloalkane fire extinguishing agents are currently the most efficient and rapid vaporized liquid fire extinguishing agents, which can quickly extinguish combustible solid surface fires and electrical equipment fires.

So when Lu Qingzhou completed the above steps, the fire in the right engine of the plane was finally under control.

Another 1 minutes passed.

Lu Qingzhou restarted the controller.

This time, there was no shrill fire alarm bell ringing in the cockpit.

Lu Qingzhou breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he could not see the fire extinguishing of the right engine of the aircraft, he now restarted the handle and restored fuel supply to the engine. However, the fire alarm was not triggered, indicating that the fire was not only under control, but also completely extinguished.

However, although the fire has been extinguished now, it is by no means a matter of peace of mind. why?

Because on the aircraft instrument panel, the right engine malfunction light came on again at an inappropriate time.

The fault light comes on, indicating that the right engine has malfunctioned and needs to be eliminated and repaired immediately.

But the plane is still flying in the sky.

The first step is to find a way to land smoothly, not repair the engine.

"Captain, the fault light of the right engine is on, what should we do now?!" Xu Yichen asked anxiously.

Lu Qingzhou frowned slightly and said, "The right engine has been burned for several minutes. It was running at high load just now. The failure is completely expected. What we are thinking about now is not what to do if the right engine fails, but what we should do if the right engine fails. What should be done.”

"Let's make an emergency landing as soon as possible. If we don't make an emergency landing, it will be too late." Xu Yichen blurted out, but before he finished speaking, he realized that what he said was not feasible at all.

why?

Because the plane just took off not long ago.

Before takeoff, it was filled with several tons of aviation kerosene.

In other words.

This Airbus A320 passenger plane is far from reaching the maximum landing weight.

If you make a forced landing with a full tank of fuel and a full load, a crash may easily occur.

not to mention.

It's raining heavily at Phoenix Airport right now.

Weather conditions did not allow the plane to make an emergency landing.

"Gulu." Xu Yichen swallowed, and then cast a glance at Lu Qingzhou, "Captain, what should we do now?"

There are currently only two options for flight 3u6727.

Or keep flying.

Or find a way to make an emergency landing.

But both options are dead ends.

Flying can't keep flying.

Who would dare to fly an airplane with a faulty right engine?
Although the left engine is still functioning normally now.

But what if the left engine is also overwhelmed and fails during the flight?
If it lands, it does not meet the conditions for an emergency landing.

An Airbus A320 passenger plane filled with several tons of aviation kerosene is like a super large gasoline bomb.

Who dares to land a super-large petrol bomb at a speed of one to two hundred kilometers per hour?

Moreover, if a passenger plane makes an emergency landing when it is overweight, it will easily overrun the runway due to inertia.

In addition, the weather conditions at Phoenix Airport were very poor.

Heavy rain made the track wet and slippery.

If you land at this time, you will not only seek death yourself, but you will also harm others.

Some people may be surprised.

Since the plane is overweight because it is filled with aviation kerosene, wouldn't it be enough to discharge all the aviation kerosene into the air?
It's not that simple.

The Airbus A320 passenger plane that Lu Qingzhou and the others were driving was not equipped with an oil drainage system, so they could not drain the oil directly outwards except for consuming it in circles.

So is it okay to consume fuel by driving in circles over the airport?

No.

It is now five or six o'clock in the capital, and it is only about an hour before Typhoon Kanu makes landfall on Qiongya Island.

As the plane wanted to use up all the fuel, it was estimated that the typhoon had successfully landed.

And there is time to go around in circles.

Might as well fly directly to the destination.

So although Lu Qingzhou tried his best to bring the plane to 1000 meters of airspace and successfully extinguished the fire on the right engine, he was still facing a desperate situation with no possibility of survival! ! !

All the efforts just now have only temporarily delayed the pace of death.
