Chapter 464: Landing
"Good luck, we really need good luck now!" Jiang Ping muttered to himself, and suddenly said to Jessica next to him, "Look at me!"
Jessica didn't expect Jiang Ping to make such a request to herself at such a life-and-death time, and she couldn't help but be surprised. However, she still instinctively turned her head away, just staring at Jiang Ping.
At this moment, Jessica saw a treacherous pattern surging in Jiang Ping's eyes, and her small pupils were as vast and deep as the universe, and she couldn't help but lose her mind.
However, the vision in Jiang Ping's eyes quickly disappeared, and Jessica also came back to her senses, only to see Jiang Ping smile faintly to herself: "Don't worry, everything will be fine, we will land safely!"
Jessica was still reminiscing about the magical feeling just now, and she didn't understand why Jiang Ping was suddenly so confident. However, this kind of Jiang Ping is indeed much more reassuring, and she also said with a sweet smile: "You're right, we'll be fine!"
Jiang Ping nodded at Jessica, and then continued to concentrate on flying the plane. Just now, he also had an idea, and he remembered to show Jessica.
In Jiang Ping's opinion, since both of them were in the cockpit, if the plane crashed, the impact should be similar. So as long as he looks at Jessica's fortune, Jiang Ping can also know what the ending will probably be.
And what made Jiang Ping deeply relieved was that he had just seen a pink light at Jessica's seal hall. This is just a sign of bad luck, indicating that Jessica will not only live, but will not even be hurt at all!
This also made Jiang Ping feel reassured, since Jessica in the cockpit was safe and sound, then he who was sitting next to her would not have any major incidents.
With such an idea to lay the foundation. Jiang Ping's confidence is even stronger. He gripped the joystick. Their eyes were firmly fixed on the runway, which was already close at hand. At the same time, he shouted to Jessica: "Report the altitude, I want to know the altitude!"
This is also the task assigned to Jessica by Henri Renault before the official landing. She hurriedly glanced at the data on the multi-function display and reported loudly to Jiang Ping: "Eighty feet!"
"Very good, come on, come on!" Jiang Ping gently controlled the joystick while cheering himself up: "It's not difficult, just think it's playing a video game." Relaxing......"
"Seventy feet!"
"Sixty feet!"
"Fifty Feet ......"
Jessica kept reporting the plane's altitude, while Jiang Ping kept controlling the plane, aiming it at the runway's centerline with great precision.
At the same time, on the control tower of the airport, Lieutenant Colonel Kadyrov was closely monitoring the situation of the A330 through a telescope. In his opinion, everything has been perfect so far, and even if he is flying the plane to land, it will not be better than this.
"Come on, come on!" Seeing the plane getting closer and closer to the runway, even Kadyrov, who had always been calm, became nervous. subconsciously cheered for Jiang Ping.
Henry Renault, who is far away at the headquarters of Airbus in France, can only be sent back through images from Leonard Air Base. to find out what happened when the plane landed.
For the seasoned test pilot, this was definitely an experience that had never been done before. Henri Reynaud felt that this feeling was very painful, and he would rather be in danger in the air than sit here and watch Jiang Ping land the plane in front of the screen. However, like Lieutenant Colonel Kadyrov, the situation of seeing the plane is quite normal for now, and Henry Renault is relatively relieved.
"Thirty feet, twenty, ten feet!" Jessica was still reporting the plane's altitude in the cockpit of the A330 airliner.
When he heard the beautiful stewardess report the figure of ten feet, Jiang Ping further retracted the throttle and gently pulled the lever back.
Under Jiang Ping's control, the nose of the A330 was raised, and the speed also dropped by twenty knots at the same time. Immediately after that, the plane sank slightly, and the rear landing gear finally touched the ground.
Jiang Ping and Jessica both felt the fuselage tremble, and then the flight computer gave a prompt, telling the pilot that the rear landing gear had landed. This is definitely the news that the two of them want to see the most at the moment, Jiang Ping immediately said loudly: "Reverse the engine, increase the horsepower, and put the flaps down completely!"
These are all the landing steps introduced by Henry Renault before, although there are so many terrifying experiences before, Jiang Ping still remembers them firmly.
Jiang Ping did as he spoke, and the speed of the plane quickly slowed down, and the nose landing gear also touched the runway. The next thing was much simpler, Jiang Ping only needed to keep the plane moving along the runway while reducing his speed so that the plane came to a complete stop.
However, Jiang Ping knew in his heart that just as Henry Renault said, any accident could happen before the wheels were completely stopped, and it was not yet time to relax. He still held the control stick as he had done before, trying to keep the plane moving in a straight line, not daring to slack off.
At this time, Jessica had already relaxed most of the time, and she was overjoyed that things could go to this point. In the purser's opinion, even if something happens now, there will be no big problem, after all, the speed of the plane is slowing down rapidly. With each extra second, the hope that everyone is safe and sound is a little greater.
So Jessica finally had the time and mood to take a closer look at the Asian youth around her. She really wasn't in that mood before, but now she found out that Jiang Ping was actually a very handsome young man, and the way he was engrossed in piloting the plane made Jessica's heart tremble.
Thinking of Jiang Ping's heroic actions that saved the lives of everyone on the plane, and the deep glimpse he had at himself when he landed made Jessica even more swoon. So much so that Jessica suddenly found that she had a strange feeling for the man she had just met, and even couldn't wait to get to know him more.
"Perhaps...... When this is over, it is really time to treat him to a drink. Looking at Jiang Ping, who had a serious expression, Jessica couldn't help but think in her heart.
Of course, Jiang Ping didn't know what Jessica was thinking now, but he still held the joystick tightly and let the plane continue to move along the runway.
Perhaps the speed of the landing is relatively fast, and the landing position is already close to the midpoint of the runway, so the length of the runway left for the A330 to slow down is a bit insufficient.
The plane was slowing down, but it was getting closer to the end of the runway. Jiang Ping was not sure at all whether the huge plane could stop before rushing out of the runway.
"Stop, stop for me!" Jiang Ping had already pressed the brake button to the end, but he could only watch the plane slide towards the end of the runway.
It's not fast anymore, but if the plane rushes into the grass outside the runway, the heavy fuselage will surely sink the landing gear deep into the dirt. If that happens, it's hard to predict what will happen next.
At the same time, all the emergency vehicles at the airport were dispatched, blaring sirens and speeding to chase the planes that were gradually slowing down. And Kadyrov had already run out of the conning tower and was chasing the plane in a jeep. At this time, whether it was Jiang Ping, Kadyrov and others, there was only one thought in their minds, that is, "don't rush out of the runway".
"Stop!" Seeing that the plane was less than twenty meters away from the end of the runway, Jiang Ping couldn't help but shout.
And Jessica, who was next to her, had closed her eyes and didn't dare to look out the window anymore. This situation was so tense and exciting, she really couldn't stand it.
Fortunately, God seemed to hear Jiang Ping's shout, and the speed of the A330 was slowing down rapidly. Just when the nose landing gear was only two or three meters away from the end of the runway, the huge fuselage finally stopped completely, which really made everyone break out in a cold sweat.
"Haha, we succeeded!" Jiang Ping couldn't help but exclaim with joy, his words full of happiness.
Henry Renault, who was far away at Airbus headquarters, was still in front of the monitor, but because of the signal delay, he had not yet seen the plane come to a complete stop. And Jiang Ping's cheer made Henri Renault's hanging heart finally let go, and he involuntarily clenched his fists and waved fiercely, in order to express the feelings in his heart.
However, Henry Renault is an experienced test pilot after all, and even at this time, he did not get carried away, but immediately reminded Jiang Ping: "Air France 2103, don't forget to turn off the engine and start the emergency evacuation procedure!"
Although Henry Renault's tone was still cold, to Jiang Ping, who was in a good mood, his voice seemed to have become cute, and he immediately replied with a smile: "Understood, turn off the engine and start the emergency evacuation procedure!"
Jiang Ping turned off the engine as he spoke, and then said to the passengers through the in-flight announcement: "Passengers, please pay attention, we have landed safely. However, because there is a small problem, please leave the plane immediately according to the instructions of the flight attendant, do not go to pick up any luggage, thank you for your cooperation. ”
Jessica had been silently watching Jiang Ping from the side, and only after he finished broadcasting did she say with joy on her face: "We succeeded!"
"Yes, it worked!" Jiang Ping said to Jessica with a smile on his face: "It's not easy!"
Jessica didn't say anything, just nodded to Jiang Ping, then untied the safety belt and said, "I'm going to help evacuate the passengers, Carol is injured, and the manpower will be very tight." ”
"Go ahead and do your duty well. Jiang Ping nodded and said, "I'm going to stay here for a while and reminisce about the peak moment of my life!"
Jessica understood Jiang Ping's statement very well, and said to him gently: "Yes, you saved everyone's lives!"
Jiang Ping just smiled faintly at the praise of the beautiful flight attendant. But what Jiang Ping didn't expect was that Jessica, who was about to leave, suddenly leaned down and gave him an eager hug.
"This is my personal thanks. After the hug, Jessica looked at Jiang Ping deeply and said, "Don't forget your promise, you will invite me to have a drink after landing safely." ”
"No problem!" Under this situation, Jiang Ping of course agreed very simply.
After receiving this answer, Jessica was satisfied to organize the evacuation of the passengers. However, before stepping out of the cockpit, she still didn't forget to throw a wink at Jiang Ping, which made people think about it.
Looking at the rescue vehicles that had arrived outside the window, Jiang Ping couldn't help muttering: "It is said that sharing hardships can quickly bring the relationship between men and women closer, and now it seems that it is really right......" (To be continued......
