Chapter 44 Partial or full landing gear retracted and landed
"Restore the take-off configuration, let's have another one!" Instructor Chang returned to his console and began to look for faults.
Xu Qing and the others prepared in front, and it was quickly arranged, and there was no movement behind them for a long time. Xu Qing turned his head suspiciously, looked behind him, and saw that Instructor Chang didn't know where to take out a pair of glasses, stretching out his head and staring intently at the screen of the console.
"Instructor, what's the problem?" After waiting for a while, Instructor Chang was still tinkering with the console, and even took out his mobile phone in the back, as if he was checking something.
"It's okay, wait a minute." Teacher Chang fiddled with his mobile phone for a while, and then compared it to the screen of the console, and finally got it done after five or six minutes, and looked at his watch: "This is the only one left in the first half, do it well!" ”
……
After less than ten minutes, the uneasiness in Xu Qing's hearts expanded dramatically.
After the plane took off, it directly turned back and made a blind landing on three sides, until it intercepted the course lane, everything was normal, and it was a little weird normally. There is no abnormal weather, and the runway can be seen clearly on the five sides.
"What else can come out?" Xu Qing was so comfortable that he even began to figure out the thoughts of Teacher Chang.
Low-altitude windshear?
Zero-altitude go-around?
When Xu Qing's thoughts were spreading, he never relaxed his monitoring of the status of the plane.
Looking at the almost, check the speed: "Put the wheel, flap fifteen!" ”
Diao Jie also checked that there was no problem with the speed, put the wheels and flaps.
Five seconds later, the two finally knew what was wrong with Teacher Chang.
Flap fifteen is in place with a green light, no problem. The problem was the landing gear, the left landing gear was not lowered, it was still a red light.
Xu Qing quickly glanced at the rear roof plate, where there was also a set of landing gear indication systems. There are only three indicators on this set of landing gear, and there are no red lights but only green lights. This is different from the indication system above the landing gear handle, which has six lights, three red, three green. But the two systems are independent of each other, and if the lower left green light on the rear roof is on, then the left landing gear can be considered to be down.
It's a pity that Instructor Chang didn't want to verify that Xu Qing knew about the backup system of the rear roof at all.
Both indicator systems show that the left landing gear is not lowered.
"I'm really lame!" Xu Qing was very skeptical that this subject was really in the modified course, or was it decided by the regular instructor on the improvised.
Now that he had just intercepted the glide slide, and there was still some time before 1,000 feet, Xu Qing decided to give it a try.
"Put the landing gear on, put it down, and try this one." Xu Qing said to Diao Jie. Although Xu Qing knew in his heart that Instructor Chang would definitely not be so boring, and he could clear the fault by replaying the landing gear, but when it was time to struggle, he still had to make a symbolic appearance.
In a normal approach, a landing pattern must be established before 1000 feet, otherwise it is an unstable approach.
Unstable approaches are the red line of the company, and whoever touches it is cold. In the simulator inspection, the approach is unstable, and it is forced to land, so there is no need to fly behind.
Xu Qing's current height is only enough for them to try once, and they have to put flaps thirty in the back, and the time is very tight.
Diao Jie also knew that time was pressing, so he quickly put the landing gear on, waited for a while, and waited for all six lights to go out, and then quickly put it down.
The result was the same, the green light on the left landing gear was still not on.
"Let's go."
Xu Qing pressed TO/GA on the accelerator, made a decision immediately, and immediately resumed flight.
This time, the flaps were not put thirty times, and the landing gear could be directly retracted after climbing.
This time, Xu Qing knew that the landing gear still couldn't be put down, so he had already prepared.
Prepared for go-around and unprepared go-around, the difficulty is not the same,
However, this go-around is only the focus of this time, the focus is on the "shy" left landing gear, how can it be allowed to "leak"?
After the go-around, Instructor Chang guided Xu Qing and them to try to approach again.
When Xu Qing was on the three sides, he looked at the speed and asked Diao Jie to put the landing gear down again.
As before, the left landing gear was still not put down, and Diao Jie asked in a low voice: "Is it "Partial or All of the Landing Gear Landing Checklist"? ”
Before Xu Qing could answer, Teacher Chang said first: "Xu Qing, what do you say, is this checklist?" ”
Not to mention, if it weren't for Teacher Chang to say this, Xu Qing would have been ready to say yes at that time.
Instructor Chang asked abruptly, and Xu Qing's "yes" that had almost reached his lips was swallowed back alive.
However, Xu Qing couldn't figure it out, isn't this the situation where part of the landing gear is retracted and landed? Is it fully compliant with the Partial or Full Landing Gear Landing Checklist? What's wrong?
Xu Qing was puzzled in his heart, but he couldn't just stiffen, so he agreed with Diao Jie's opinion.
Instructor Chang skillfully froze the simulator and snorted coldly: "If you encounter an engine failure in the future, just go straight to the "Single Landing Checklist", right!" ”
That's right!
Xu Qing is a spirit, yes, although the final result of engine failure is a single-engine landing, it is not a direct single-engine landing checklist at the beginning, you need to do an engine failure checklist first, and then even try to start in the air, and finally do a single-engine landing checklist.
So, did they miss any of the previous steps?
Just when Xu Qing seemed to have grasped a little spiritual light, Diao Jie next to him slapped his thigh, and with Diao Jie's excited voice, he seemed to have discovered some shocking secret.
"I see!" Diao Jie was too excited, his eyes widened, and his tongue subconsciously licked his lips: "Manually put the landing gear, let's use the artificial landing gear!" ”
As he spoke, he looked at the regular instructor with his mouth slightly open, waiting for the praise of the permanent teacher!
However, what greeted him was not praise and performance, but a sneer: "It's better, I didn't do the checklist for a single-engine landing directly, but directly did the checklist for air starting, and there is progress!" ”
Xu Qing frowned, what does Instructor Chang mean is that there is a checklist in front?
Diao Jie, who was still excited a second ago, was poured a basin of cold water, and turned to Xu Qing with empty eyes for help.
Xu Qing's face is not good-looking, he is not as good as Diao Jie, at least Diao Jie also thought of manually putting the landing gear, but he didn't expect it.
After waiting for a while, Instructor Chang saw Xu Qing and the others staring at each other, and knew that it was useless to continue to wait stupidly, so he decided to open his mouth to remind him.
"Where is the handle now?"
"Put down your seat!" Xu Qing said smoothly.
Chang Instructor did not tolerate each other, and asked again: "Where is the left landing gear?" ”
Syllable!
Syllable!
This time, there were two thigh-slapping sounds, one from Xu Qing and one from Diao Jie.
The two looked at each other, and at the same time, blurted out: ""Landing Gear Inconsistency Checklist"! ”
Landing gear inconsistencies will be transferred to manual landing gear placement, and finally some or all of the landing gear will be put away on the landing checklist, which is the correct step!
