Chapter 168: A helpless tailwind landing

Xu Qing, who was sitting in the back, felt so obvious, as the commander of the left seat of the controller, he could clearly feel the extremely clear sense of blocking from the rod force, which was almost certain to wipe the tail of the machine.

When he returned to the flight just now, because the lights were too bright, he couldn't see the ground clearly and couldn't judge that the plane was sinking. Due to the psychological pressure brought by the zero-altitude go-around, his judgment of sinking was problematic, and the amount of rod was also deviated.

Tail wiping is not common, many pilots have only seen it on simulators, and simulators are actually not enough to restore the tail wiping.

Xu Qing still just relied on theoretical knowledge to guess, but the captain was different.

When he was still a co-pilot, he had personally experienced the situation of wiping the tail of the plane during takeoff. The abrupt stoppage was exactly the same as the previous experience, but this time he was manipulating it himself.

That time, the captain suspended the captain's qualification for three months, and he studied as a grounded officer for a month.

To be honest, this punishment is not particularly heavy, but it is also a rare punishment in his co-pilot stage, so his memory is particularly deep.

Generally speaking, it is not the real tail that wipes the tail of the machine, but the tail pry.

The tail skid is a protective device placed at the tail of the fuselage structure, in which there is a semi-cylindrical wear nest, and most of the wiping tail is the first wear nest to touch the road surface.

However, as he had just go-around, the elevation angle was too large, and there was a situation where he jumped over the tail pry and directly hit the elevator.

And this is also the situation that the captain is most worried about!

"How many degrees did you see the gesture just now?" After the plane stabilized, the captain asked the co-pilot.

The attitude overrun just now was only for a moment, and he was busy operating and didn't pay attention.

"Didn't you pay attention, more than ten degrees, right?" The co-pilot was not so sure.

The limit attitude of wiping the tail can only be referred to when it is just off the ground, and the subsequent attitude is not accurate.

"Brother, it should be wiping the tail of the machine." Xu Qing was not taboo, and directly told his inner guess.

Xu Qing was so outspoken, and the co-pilot also buckled his nose, what he felt just now was also wiping the tail of the plane, but like Xu Qing, he didn't really feel it, just guessed.

"Hahaha!" The captain laughed out loud when he heard Xu Qing be so straightforward, but the more his voice went to the back.

Before it landed, the punishment of suspending the captain's qualification for three months had already been arranged, which was really crazy.

"No matter, no matter, I can't complain about others even if my hands are shaking!" The captain shook his head depressedly and pressed the call button: "Tower, Blue 9831, do you see a change in the position of the nose landing gear?" ”

"There's no noticeable change, are your indications still malfunctioning in the cockpit?" The people on the other side of the tower also know some knowledge of flying.

The red light on the landing gear indicator was still firmly lit as far as the eye could see, and the three people in the cockpit were eager to pop the light.

"No, it still indicates that the nose gear is not locked." The captain sighed, "Help me contact ground support!" ”

"Brother, don't you try again?" The co-pilot took a sip.

"Why don't you come?" The captain glanced at the co-pilot, and now he still has palpitations when he thinks about the zero-altitude go-around just now.

No wonder the technical announcement once specifically mentioned the zero-altitude go-around, including a reminder about the risk of zero-altitude go-around about wiping the tail, but I didn't expect to be recruited today.

There are some things that you really don't know how dangerous they are until you experience them once.

The co-pilot laughed awkwardly a few times, and he just said it.

Blue 9831 finally gave up all struggles at this moment and met its destined fate.

The risk of sparks and fuel leakage due to the risk of sparks and fuel leakage caused by the combination of partial landing gear retracted and landing, it is inevitable that a fuel explosion will occur.

Therefore, it is necessary to release the fuel before landing.

However, there is no oil drain area near K City, and Blue 9831 can only choose to circ fuel consumption.

When circling the fuel consumption, the airbrake is opened, the landing gear is lowered, and the flap 5 is maintained.

Even so, the circling method of fuel consumption consumes a relatively long time, but fortunately there is not much fuel left before this, and the two approaches also consume a lot of fuel, and the remaining oil only needs less than one to consume about the same energy.

The airport immediately contacted the airport fire and airport medical department after receiving confirmation of the support request from the 9831 captain.

Despite the late hour, the airport fire and medical department was really on standby, and immediately began to assemble after being notified by the tower.

The main risk of some landing gear retractions is that the sparks detonate and leak fuel, so how to prevent the friction between the fuselage and the pavement is the top priority.

Combined with the opinion of the fire department, the existing plan is to spread foam over the runway to stop the fire.

Since it was decided to land, while circling, the captain contacted home and asked for technical guidance.

No pilot in Blue Airlines has actually landed part of the landing gear, but there is a captain in Lotto Aviation who has experienced it.

Chen Yi contacted the general manager of the flight department of Lotto Airlines overnight and asked for the captain's number, and immediately called to ask if there was any trick or something.

It's a pity that the captain flies a relatively rare upper monoplane, the engine is far from the ground, and the engine never touches the road, so there is no fuel leakage, the risk factor is actually not so high, and the reference significance of the blue 9831 is not great.

Blue 9831 can only rely on themselves!

All pilots know that the key to landing with part of the landing gear retracted is to keep it flat and try to minimize speed when it is not touching the ground.

But if it were that simple, the airport wouldn't be so burdensome

But after all the calculations, there is still a problem!

The airport informed Xu Qing that they didn't have enough foam!

What's even worse is that the fire protection starts to spread foam from the grounding end, and the foam is gone just after reaching the middle end, and it takes more than a while to transfer a new foam car, and Xu Qing's oil volume can't last for more than a while!

Xu Qing didn't understand in his heart, why didn't he start from the middle end, and just pave the middle end and the stop end?

So that now the most critical stop end is not foaming!

Xu Qing rolled his eyes, picked up the microphone and asked the tower directly: "What kind of wind is it now?" ”

"230 degrees 7 meters wind!"

Xu Qing and the captain glanced at each other, and Xu Qing said with a straight face: "Brother, is it okay to be 6 to 7 meters downwind?" ”

The captain smiled helplessly: "Do I have a choice?" ”

Xu Qing nodded, with a tailwind and no foam, they could only choose to face the tailwind.

"Tower, 9831 applies for changing runway 03!"
