Chapter Ninety-Four: Passengers, Who Will Fly the Plane?
read336();
When Fang Yang and the crew were fighting to the death against the gangsters, the ground was already facing a great enemy.
The parties concerned quickly formed a joint command and closely followed every move of the aircraft in the sky. Fang Hongda, secretary of the provincial party committee, personally sat at the command center, and the principal leaders of the A Group Army stationed in the southeast province and the main leaders of the Rongcheng command post of the air force were all present, and the headquarters was set up in the anti-terrorism emergency command center of the provincial state security department, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.
Fang Hongda, secretary of the provincial party committee, frowned, and Major General Liu Guoqiang, chief of staff of the A Group Army, also had a worried face. The leaders and staff present knew that the children of the two chiefs were on the plane, and they all held their breath and did not dare to come out, for fear of touching the mold, and the atmosphere in the command center was even more depressing.
"Eagle's Nest, Hole Two Report! The flight attitude is abnormal! There is a possibility of stalling and crashing at any time! According to visual observation, it seems that a fierce fight has taken place in the cockpit, and the plane is now unmanned! ”
In the quiet hall, the voice of the pilot of the Jian-10 long plane suddenly came from the report, and everyone's faces changed drastically, and their eyes focused on the radar screen.
The radar showed that the plane's altitude was rapidly increasing, while its speed was decreasing sharply, and it was soon approaching the critical point of stalling. Once the plane stalls, it will quickly enter a state of spiral plunge, if it is a fighter jet, it is possible to change out, and in the face of the huge giant airliner, even the most experienced pilot may not be able to save it, not to mention that Dong Liang reported that the plane is now in an unmanned state.
Fang Hongda and Liu Guoqiang's expressions suddenly became solemn......
On the plane, the passengers were also frightened by the drastic change of attitude of the plane. They were frightened in the shootout just now, and once again raised their hearts to their throats.
Before Fang Yang could reach the cockpit, he saw the purser who had been in the front cabin running out with a pale face.
She picked up the radio microphone in the cabin and asked a sentence that made all the passengers feel distracted:
"Ladies and gentlemen, if you need your assistance in case of an emergency, please ask ...... Who can fly an airplane? ”
As soon as Fang Yang heard this, he knew that the captain of the flight was unlucky.
As soon as the purser finished speaking, both the flight attendants and the passengers showed expressions of despair. Everyone saw that the co-pilot was seriously injured by a shot by the bandits just now, and he was unconscious. And now the purser has asked such a question, which means that the captain was also injured or even killed in the fight just now.
And they are now in the air at an altitude of 10,000 meters, and all the pilots on board are unconscious, which means that this giant passenger plane has become a veritable coffin in the air.
It can't reach the sky, and it can't reach the ground......
There was a deep sense of helplessness and fear in everyone's hearts, and they seemed to smile as if they saw death at hand.
Some were crying silently, others silently took out a pen and paper to record their last words, and some leaned back in their chairs without saying a word. The entire cabin surprisingly did not cause major chaos, but was exceptionally quiet amid the roar of the engines.
Yang Liuyi also leaned against the door frame with a pale face. Only two years after graduating from school, she became a first-class flight attendant with her excellent performance. There are still a lot of beautiful years! Yang Liuyi thought to herself: I haven't tried the taste of love yet! Is this going to die?
Yang Liuyi glanced at Fang Yang not far ahead. The heart said, is this young man a security officer in the company? He's really good! It's just that the character may not be very good.,I've been secretly watching me since I got on the plane.,And I think my actions are very hidden! You even took the opportunity to touch my place just now......
Thinking that he was still distracted at the moment of life and death, thinking about these messy things, Yang Liuyi's pretty face turned red again.
Fang Yang didn't know Yang Liuyi's complex psychological activities, so he hurriedly greeted him and said to the purser:
"Take me there, I've been exposed to a little bit of flying knowledge......"
The purser seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, nodded again and again and led Fang Yang to the cockpit. When the already desperate passengers heard Fang Yang's words, they couldn't help but feel a trace of anticipation. This young man was extraordinary just now, I hope he can save everyone this time!
Yang Liuyi was also surprised: Isn't this guy the company's security officer? Have you ever flown a plane?
Coming to the cockpit, Fang Yang was also taken aback by the scene in front of him. Gu Xinmin was shot in the abdomen, a flight attendant was bandaging him, blood kept seeping out of the bandages, it seemed that the injury was not light, and he had fallen into a coma. It may be that the mustache's gun went off and injured him during the fight just now.
Although Fang Yang has no experience in flying large passenger aircraft, he is an avid flyer and has flown Bombardier business jets. Although the cockpit layouts of Bombardier and Boeing are completely different, Fang Yang has seen the cockpit pictures of Boeing planes and still knows a few important instruments, so he can see at a glance that among the dazzling instruments, the "APP" light representing automatic driving has been turned off, which indicates that the aircraft is in a state of manual piloting.
What's even worse is that Gu Xinmin's feet are hooked on the joystick, no wonder the plane keeps climbing.
The mustache had already been knocked unconscious, and Hao Shaobin was panting while holding a rope to tie him up.
Fang Yang hurriedly shouted:
"Move the captain out first! His foot hooked into the steering stick! The plane will stall soon! ”
Hao Shaobin hurriedly came over and hurriedly moved Gu Xinmin to the first class. Then the mustache was dragged out as well. Fang Yang sat in Gu Xinmin's seat, and while fastening his seat belt, he turned his head and said to the purser:
"Purser, go out at once now and reassure the passengers. Remember, everyone must wear a seatbelt and must not leave their seats. In addition, the unconscious bandit must also be tied to his seat and find someone to watch him out! ”
Fang Yang thought for a while, and then said:
"Also, please arrange for a flight attendant to come and assist me!"
The purser nodded hurriedly and said:
"Okay! Good! I'll do it! This gentleman, airplane...... Please! ”
When he said this, the purser had a worried look in his eyes. Fang Yang is so young, has he really flown a plane? There was a trace of doubt in the purser's heart, but in this situation, there was nothing to do but believe him.
She walked out of the cockpit, beckoned Yang Liuyi over, and said:
"Xiao Yang! Hurry up to the cockpit and cooperate with that gentleman! ”
Yang Liuyi knew that the matter was serious, so she didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly walked to the cockpit. When she entered the cabin, she happened to see Fang Yang struggling to push the joystick forward, striving to level the plane's attitude.
When Fang Yang heard someone coming in, he said without looking back:
"Get in your seat and buckle up! Help me putt! ”
"Oh!" Yang Liu responded, and sat in the co-pilot seat according to Yan.
Hearing that it was Yang Liuyi, Fang Yang turned his head and glanced at her in surprise, but at the moment, the situation was urgent, he only nodded slightly, and then continued to work hard to control the plane.
Under the joint efforts of Fang Yang and Yang Liuyi, the attitude of the aircraft gradually flattened. Fang Yang hurriedly turned on the autopilot switch. Under the control of the autopilot, the Jumbo began to slowly descend towards the previously set altitude.
Although the large passenger plane is complex, the basic principles and components are the same as the Bombardier and Jian-10 fighters that Fang Yang flew in his previous life, and Fang Yang can at least recognize the altimeter, airspeed meter, gyroscope, etc., and the use of radio is basically not a big problem.
Seeing that the attitude of the plane was basically stable, Fang Yang picked up the headset. He did not know the general frequency of civil aviation, but he had served in the Air Force for several years, so he was naturally familiar with the emergency call frequency of military aviation. He quickly tuned the radio to the Air Force's emergency channel, and then, as is customary in the aviation industry, issued an emergency call for help:
“ng8773,mayday! mayday! mayday! ”
"mayday" comes from French, which means "help me!" in Chinese! It is widely used because it is catchy and not easy to mishear. Domestic pilots have literally dubbed it "Mayday". "Mayday" is also the highest level of distress signal, once an aircraft declares "Mayday", it means that the aircraft has entered an extremely dangerous situation, and all aircraft must unconditionally avoid it. In the United States, even Air Force One has to avoid planes that announce "Mayday".
The Air Force Rongcheng Control has received information about the hijacking of the flight, so it has entered a state of combat readiness. All departments are operating intensely. They received the distress signal sent by Fang Yang immediately, Fang Yang's signal was very clear, he reported the flight number, and at the same time clearly sounded "mayday" three times in a row. Although his use of military frequencies made the Air Force controller a little strange, he quickly responded:
"NG8773, I am the Rongcheng Control of the Air Force of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, please report the situation immediately!"
Fang Yang said methodically:
"NG8773, a state of emergency has been declared. The plane was hijacked, and the robbers have now been fully arrested. But both pilots were disabled. Repeatedly, the two pilots were all disabled. ”
The Air Force controller opened his mouth wide, and the situation was serious! He hurriedly asked:
"NG8773, what is the status of the aircraft? Who is in control of the plane now? ”
"At the moment the flight attitude is good, at an altitude of 31,000 feet and a speed of 250 knots. I was a passenger on a flight and a flying enthusiast. Now I'm in control of the plane. Fang Yang checked the instrument and said, "NG8773, please return to the sea, over!" ”
The controller of the Air Force took a deep breath and the worst appeared!
More than 200 lives on the plane! Now at 30,000 feet, the two pilots are all disabled, and only one passenger is in control of the plane, and the controller knows very well what it means to these passengers.
He did not dare to slack off, and immediately replied:
NG8773, ROGER. Please keep flying, and I'll report to my superiors immediately! ”
"Keep your posture, ng8773 understands!"
The tower of Rongcheng Airport is busy, and Liu Xiaoyu is the controller on duty today, and he is directing four planes to land in sequence at the same time.
At that moment, a red phone rang sharply. Liu Xiaoyu's heart jumped suddenly! Hurriedly signaled the assistant to take over the command. He reached out and picked up the phone, listened intently for a while, and his face changed dramatically. Turning back to his assistant, he said:
"Xiaohu, transfer all planes immediately!"
Xiao Hu said in embarrassment:
"But...... The China Express Airlines flight has already established a course, and they have entered the landing procedure! ”
China Airlines is the national airline, and the captain of China Airlines has always been known for his coaxing, and he has entered the landing procedure and let them avoid it. The assistant was a little stunned.
Liu Xiaoyu yelled impatiently:
"Let them fly again! There is a flight announcing 'Mayday'! ”
Xiao Hu's face changed suddenly, and without saying a word, he began to send out a series of commands on the radio.
Liu Xiaoyu then pressed a red button on the control table heavily. Blaze screeching sirens rang out inside the airport. Liu Xiaoyu took the radio microphone and said:
"Attention departments! Attention departments! A flight has declared a state of emergency, and in about fifteen minutes, it will make a forced landing on runway 2! Repeat, it's a crash landing! ”
The airport's emergency departments immediately moved when they heard the news, and fire trucks and ambulances quickly assembled near Runway 2. Because there were robbers on the flight, the SWAT department had also rushed to the airport. All kinds of special vehicles emitted a piercing alarm, and various personnel began to set up busily. For a while, the runway of Rongcheng Airport was filled with tense air.
At 30,000 feet, more than 200 passengers and crew were once again in extreme danger......
