A few large soldiers burrowed into the woods with their guns, and then a series of gunshots rang out, followed by several birds, perhaps unresponsive, flying away in terror.

In the cockpit, Li Zhanlie said with a smile, "What a rough method of repelling birds, it has an appetite for me." ”

Liu Changxi smiled, "It's just that Chief of Staff Tang can come up with such a way." ”

Obviously, the sound of gunfire was used to scare the birds rather than to hit them. Tang Guozheng is doing things in a measured way, maybe he will encounter rare birds, and he will resolutely not be beaten, but it is no problem to use the sound of gunfire to scare them away.

There are very few planes taking off and landing at the Zhongnan station, and as an alternate landing station, it is limited by its location, even if there are fighters who need to be diverted, they usually try to choose Guibei or other stations, so the birds here do not know what the plane is, so they are not too afraid of the sound of the aircraft engine.

The field service even drove out several flocks of birds with such an emergency bird repellent operation, which made everyone break out in a cold sweat. Maybe it's because the bad weather has suffocated the birds for days ago, and finally I came across a place where I was reluctant to move on a sunny day.

After tossing for more than half an hour, it was finally determined that there were no birds within the specified range that could threaten the take-off of the plane.

Tang Guozheng gave the take-off order for the second time, and Li Zhan's crew operated as fierce as a tiger for the second time, but this time Liu Changxi kept an eye on it, no longer focusing most of his attention on the dashboard, but observing the airspace in front of him.

"Reach take-off speed! Pull the nose! Liu Changxi said loudly.

Li Zhan repeated his command, "Pull the nose!" At the same time, pull up the control stick, the plane raised its head, the front landing gear off the ground, showing a take-off elevation angle, in order to let the aircraft get the most lift in the shortest time, Li Zhan adjusted the elevation angle to the maximum allowable value, but the runway was almost exhausted.

Everyone's hearts rose to their throats again.

There are two concerns, the first is that the elevation angle is too large and the stall is the second is that the running distance is not enough. Both of these concerns are closely related to the pilot's technique. Especially for the latter, the gap of 300 meters needs to be made up by the skill of the pilot.

However, it is obvious that everyone has great trust in Captain Li's ability at this time.

The plane's main landing gear glided at high speed on the remaining runway, the tires ran over the last runway, and the plane was all off the ground. Just as everyone was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the plane slammed down and disappeared at the end of the runway.

"Two or five crutches! What's the situation? Tang Guozheng asked urgently in his heart.

Before receiving a reply, the plane suddenly reappeared, giving people the feeling that someone was taking off his pants and squatting down to defecate in the wild, and suddenly found that someone came over and quickly lifted his pants and stood up and pretended to be nothing.

Everyone in the tower breathed a sigh of relief, but they didn't know what Li Zhan's crew had experienced in the few seconds just now.

"Can't pull the rod! Keep your posture keep your posture! ”

"That's right! Yes! Keep your posture! It's going to climb! ”

Li Zhan and Liu Changxi had the above conversation when the fuselage sank suddenly, and the two who were too experienced to do it knew very well that rashly pulling the lever would put the plane in danger of stalling. Under normal circumstances, most pilots will subconsciously choose to pull the lever to raise the nose of the aircraft in order to allow the aircraft to climb when the plane suddenly sinks. In fact, Li Zhan and Liu Changxi knew very well that the plane actually only needed some more acceleration distance.

At this point, there is no obstacle underneath the aircraft, and the southerly wind from the bottom up will allow the aircraft to climb quickly.

It takes a lot of courage to make such a decision, and for Li Zhan and Liu Changxi, who often fly on the tip of a knife, it is nothing.

The B-25277 Y-8F-400 entered the climbing phase, and when they saw it fly over the hill to the north, the people on the tower were really relieved.

"Two or five crutches, you contact Zhongnan Air Traffic Control 188.39, listen to his command, over." Tang Guozheng called Li Zhan and handed over the command directly to the Central South Air Traffic Control Center, instead of the regional approach.

Li Zhan was in charge of radio contact, and after he and Liu Changxi repeatedly checked the frequency, the latter entered the new frequency and called Zhongnan Air Traffic Control, "Zhongnan, this is the mail and airline." ”

Non-flight flights are therefore not used with a flight code.

Zhongnan air traffic control has long received a notice, there is a special air traffic controller waiting for a special flight guidance, he quickly checked the radar display screen, confirmed the direction of the plane, and immediately replied, "Mail Airlines two or five two turns, I see you from the radar, the course is 180, the sea height is 1500, the transponder is recognized, please climb to 2000, over." ”

"Climb to 2000, understand, mail two or five crutches." Li Zhan kept the plane at a rate of climb and continued to climb, and soon reached an altitude of two thousand meters above sea level.

Randomly, the Zhongnan air traffic control guided the aircraft to turn 180 degrees, from due south to due north, and the flight altitude rose to 7,000 meters, which was temporarily assigned to the special navigation altitude of the B-25277 aircraft, that is to say, the aircraft had a special route.

Mail airlines are smart, and if they don't rely on the strength of the troops, it will be difficult for them to get a dedicated route. A dedicated route was particularly important for the damaged B-25277. The sky is heavy with traffic, and cargo flights often need to adjust their altitude frequently to avoid passenger flights. This is not a problem for a normal aircraft, but for the damaged Y-8F-400, maintaining a smooth flight can minimize the risk.

Flying north along the special route through the mountains and provinces, Li Zhan's crew needs to pay attention to the weather. The weather conditions are getting worse the further north you go, and the cold air coming from Siberia is affecting most of our country, which has brought serious signs of ice and snow disasters to the southern region.

Li Zhan was actually ready to climb the altitude to avoid the bad weather ahead.

"Turn on the de-icing system." Li Zhan said.

Liu Changxi turned on the de-icing system, "The de-icing system is on. I said, is this really okay? ”

"No problem." Li Zhan said, "We don't have a problem with carrying four engines. ”

It may seem like a risky move, but it would take a lot of courage to continue using the de-icing system, which was caused by a problem with the logical relationship between the de-icing system and the engine protection device. However, in fact, by figuring out the logical relationship and avoiding the operation that will cause problems, it is completely possible to form a peaceful coexistence between the power system and the de-icing system.

The most important thing is that the plane is empty at this time, except for a few tons of fuel enough to fly to the 012 aircraft plant, which is tantamount to greatly reducing the load on the engine, and the aircraft is more flexible.

Taking 10,000 steps back, even if two more engines stall, the plane can calmly choose a very suitable alternate airport with the remaining two engines, and will not follow in the footsteps of its predecessors.

"Hey, it's snowy ahead, and the weather forecast doesn't mention it." Liu Changxi looked ahead, about twenty kilometers away, it was a dark cloud, and occasionally there were some high-altitude lightning, which was the bad weather airspace to avoid.

Li Zhan said, "Inquire about the weather conditions of the air traffic control and apply for a detour." ”

"Understood!"
