Zhou Zhou was not assisted, and the cockpit was operated by Bolton alone, who had to observe the manual, control the plane, and calculate the route, so he flew so poorly in the second half of the flight that he crashed quickly.

In this round, because of the addition of Gu Ji, the aircraft maintained the best lift-to-drag ratio as soon as possible.

At this moment, the Boeing-7M8 is like a large glider, which can glide at a uniform speed for a certain period of time just by relying on parameters and equipment such as speed, wind direction, aileron, and APU.

"I can't believe you, Mr. Yasen, you can maintain such excellent computing skills at your age."

Bolton turned his head and looked at Gu Ji, who was many years older than him, with a little surprise, and even respected the title a lot, but when he heard "11" minutes, his pupils dimmed a little.

"In 11 minutes, FL200, a 'glider' weighing sixty or seventy tons, can it really be safely forced to land......

"Young man, since I can surprise you, why can't we work miracles together?"

Gu Ji looked at Bolton's eyes seriously.

He knew that the young co-pilot had skills, but because he was young and inexperienced, he was prone to panic and nervousness when encountering things, which was also the real gap between the co-pilot and the captain.

Although he was also panicked, after all, he had experienced so many crisis levels and knew the importance of morale.

The more critical this juncture, the more Gu Ji must stabilize the situation.

That's what makes a good SWAT commander.

Perhaps it was his calm voice, as well as his eyes full of experience and a sense of age, that gave Bolton confidence.

"You're right, Mr. Yasen, let's save the 107 passengers on AM649 together, now, all instructions are carried out according to the manual, and you will make a verbal broadcast, if there is an emergency......"

In the end, Bolton looked at Gu Ji seriously, as if he was explaining what was going on, "Take over control immediately!" ”

"Understood! FL200, using APU bleed air, restores cockpit pressurization. ”

"APU starts! Oh God, thank you that it still works. ”

The FL200 refers to the altitude layer of 20,000 feet, the VMO/MMO conversion altitude is about 6,000 meters, and the APU is an auxiliary power unit, located at the rear of the fuselage tail, with its own separate electric starter, powered by a separate battery, with independent additional gearboxes, lubrication systems, cooling systems and fire protection devices, and the fuel comes from the total fuel system on the aircraft.

At this time, there was a sound of a code pressing outside the cab door, and the hatch was opened.

Gu Ji turned his head sharply.

I thought it was a terrorist, but I didn't expect it to be Purser Betty.

Her head was struck, her cape scattered, blood flowed from her forehead, and the buttons of her dark blue uniform were cracked, revealing two proud twin peaks inside.

Perhaps frightened by Gu Ji's terrible eyes, Betty tilted her head back half a step.

"Oh my God, scare me, what's going on now?"

"It's not optimistic, Betty, we have a double engine failure, although I don't want to say this, but please tell the cabin passengers to prepare for an emergency landing!"

"God ......"

Betty exclaimed, her eyes full of fear, as a purser, of course she knew how low the success rate of a double-engine failure forced landing was.

When the other party was about to leave, Gu Ji suddenly remembered a question and hurriedly stopped her.

"Purser, you have to arrange passengers evenly in economy class seats to prevent the plane from being heavy."

"I understand, I'm in charge of the cabin!"

Betty was a veteran purser after all, and quickly adjusted back from her panicked mentality.

The hatch closed, and Gu Ji and Bolton were left in the cab.

Bolton gripped the joystick.

"Time."

"There are 8 minutes left, we are now in the middle of the Mexican plateau, a mountain plateau basin, dominated by a grassland climate, with an average altitude of 2,000 meters, blocked by the Sierra Madre Occidental, mountain forest terrain, uneven terrain, so we can't go west, we have to find a way to find a gentle grassland, preferably by road."

Gu Ji quickly skimmed through the topographic map.

At this time, through the cockpit windshield, you can already see the ground, a vast green plateau, the terrain is slightly undulating, and the whole earth is covered with green trees, like a thick carpet, against the blue sky, it looks particularly fresh.

But this "beautiful scenery" is full of danger for the two of them.

When the plane makes a forced landing in the mountains, these trees are equivalent to throwing nails on the highway, which will instantly destroy the landing attitude and split the fuselage into pieces.

"Mr. Yasen, do you see the prairie?"

"Nope."

"Time."

"Five minutes."

"I seem to see a river......"

Following the direction of Bolton's gaze, on the west side of the fuselage, Gu Ji saw a winding brown reflective ribbon, yes, this is a river in the mountains and forests.

"Bolton, you want to make a crash landing on the water?"

"It's the last resort."

Bolton's tone was very heavy.

Crash landing on the water may sound feasible, but it is not easy to actually operate.

There is a saying in civil aviation that "it is better to shoot on the mountain than on the water", and the difficulty of forced landing on the water can be seen. There are many aircraft around the world that attempt to make a forced landing on water, but there is only one case where it is best to do it safely.

The person who completed this feat of forced landing on the water was the famous Captain Sully.

You must know that the Hudson River, where Captain Sully made a forced landing, is the main waterway in New York State, USA, which can be used by merchant ships, has a wide water area, and the forced landing is in winter, the river flow is at its lowest, and the water flow is gentle.

At the moment, they don't know anything about this unfamiliar river, the width, depth, terrain difference, and whether the water is turbulent.

Just when Gu Ji was about to open his mouth to dissuade.

Bolton took out his mobile phone from his pocket, slid on the screen, and the screensaver was a photo of him with a young girl, stroking the girl's face with reluctance, "Mr. Yasen, let's take a gamble, follow my plan, keep parallel to the river, slowly land, keep level, okay?" ”

"Wait! Bolton, I found the clearing! ”

Just when he made up his mind to die, Gu Ji suddenly shouted.

Bolton looked up, and sure enough, he saw that not far east of the river, there was an oval grassland exposed in the middle of the mountain forest, which was proportionally large enough for them to make a forced landing.

For a moment, hope and excitement rekindled in his pupils, "Fake! That's a damn prairie! We may be saved! ”

"Yes! Bolton, we should give it our all! ”

"You're right, Mr. Yasen, time!"

"2 minutes! APU Start! Flap handle down to gear 5! ”

Gu Ji flipped through the manual to find the emergency landing operation procedure for the failure of the twin engines, and then pushed the flap handle.

Bolton put the screensaver in front of him and kissed it, put it back in his pocket, and quickly followed his instructions to perform the APU operation," VAPP confirmed. ”

VAPP is the aircraft approach correction speed, and it is also one of the most important parameters of aircraft landing, which changes with the change of aircraft weight, landing pattern, headwind, automatic thrust on, whether it is icing, and downdraft.

If the VAPP is too fast, the plane will land heavily, which is equivalent to a big fat man falling to the ground.

“183KT！”

Gu Ji glanced at the current speed.

The unit of aviation speed uses knots, which is equivalent to about 338 kilometers per hour.

Bolton shook his head grimly.

"This speed is too fast, the model of AM649 is Boeing-7M8, with an empty weight of 41.4 tons, counting 70% of the cabin, cargo compartment, and fuel weight, it should be about 60 tons, and the corresponding forced landing VAPP should be 163KT."

"90 seconds! Wind! It's a northwesterly wind with a speed of 9.7 m/s, we can go against the wind and we can also release fuel! ”

"Good way! Mr. Yasen! Fuel leaks! ”

"Fuel leak!"

As Bolton raised his hand to press the fuel valve, he only heard two "bangs", and the fuel in the cabin instantly turned into two waves of air and flew out from both sides of the wings.

"60 seconds! 171KT！ Spoiler pre-position! ”

Buzz Buzz——!

Because the sound of the cabin became louder after Bolton manipulated the aileron to turn to fly against the wind, and the fuselage kept shaking, Gu Ji could only shout desperately in the flight headset to prevent Bolton from mishearing.

At this moment, he could clearly see the trees on both sides of the ground through the windshield.

The rapid speed of the body and the blurred afterimage of the canopy made his adrenaline, heartbeat, and blood pressure all rise, which soon caused a vibration warning from the wrist watch.

As we all know, this is the equivalent of driving a car.

When your reference is the side window, it feels fast, and when you look ahead, it feels slow.

Airplanes are also a truth, flying at high altitudes, perhaps only through the meter to read the speed, but when flying close to the ground, the surrounding tree trunks, sounds, fuselage shake brought by the all-round sensory stimulation, quite impactful!

"30 seconds! 1000FT AGL！ ”

"Yasen! Undercarriage! ”

"Landing gear!"

Gu Ji repeated a sentence and quickly turned the mechanical gear lever of the landing gear.

And just as the gravity of the landing gear of the plane was lowered, suddenly there was a shake from the tail, and then there was a snort, and the alarm began to sound in the cabin: "APU failure!" APU failure! ”

Bolton scolded.

"Fack! Fack! This broken plane, I really want to stuff the nose of the plane into the Boeing boss's skin swallow! ”

"Zero hour! 500FT AGL！ ”

This represents the absolute height, that is, the true height, and the true height is based on the ground, which means that the fuselage is only 500 feet from the ground at this moment, 152 meters!

Gu Ji hurriedly pressed the headset intercom, switched the cabin communication, and reminded the cabin:

"The cabin is ready for a crash avoidance! The plane will make a forced landing immediately! ”

"......Uhh

As soon as he said this, even through a door, he could still hear the frightened screams of the passengers behind him.

At this time, the fuselage was infinitely close to the sky above the woods, almost grazing the canopy, and flew to the grassland, seeing that the plane was about to land on the ground.

"Time!"

"Zero hour 15 seconds! Level! Ground with minimum V/S! ”

"Prepare to be grounded!"

Seeing that the grass was getting closer and closer, Bolton roared, only to hear a "boom", and the wheels of the nose landing gear slammed into the grass, followed by the rear landing gear, and the fuselage erupted into a violent shaking of "rumble".

"Yasen! Acceleration brakes extended! Reverse full throttle! ”

"Reverse full throttle!"

"Help me hit the brakes! Yasen! Fast! ”

"Good!"

Gu Ji stared, stepped on the brakes with all his strength, and a piercing scream penetrated the rumbling shaking of the fuselage, the tire of the left landing gear in the rear fell off, the fuselage instantly leaned to the left, and the wings "boomed" and smashed on the ground, like a sharp blade, cutting quickly on the grass.

A large amount of dirt was stirred up by the wing corners, and the fuselage shook violently.

Suddenly!

The wing broke, and with a "whoosh", a white metal was swept away by the wind and waves, and suddenly smashed into the fuselage, breaking out with an earth-shattering bang, and even the entire plane followed suit.

Seeing that there was less and less open space ahead, the woods were getting closer and closer to the nose of the plane.

Bolton's eyes were about to pop out at this time, and Gu Ji also slammed on the brakes, his face flushed.

"Ah——!!h

"Ahhh——!!hh

The two of them shouted at the same time, as if to vent the fear and pressure in their hearts, and at the same time to angrily scold the injustice of this disaster.

Click! Finally, the left landing gear in the rear was overwhelmed and completely broken, and the fuselage slid all the way against the turf.

Whoop......

The woods in front of him were so close that Bolton had completely closed his eyes and resigned himself to fate.

"I don't believe it, if you kind of let Lao Tzu do it again!!"

Gu Ji's forehead was beating wildly, his eyes were about to split, his eyes were full of crazy blood, his feet had stepped on the brakes to the bottom, and he saw the nose of the machine pressed into the woods, the trunks of the trees broke one by one, and the iron sheet of the nose began to collapse.

The plane, suddenly stopped!

Airplanes......

At this moment, the rumbling and shaking of the outside world all disappeared, as if the whole world had been pressed the pause button.

Bolton opened his eyes and saw the plane make a successful forced landing.

Turning his head sharply.

The eyes are facing each other.

"Yasen, we ......"

"Phew, we made it."

"Fack! Falk ——!!! ”

Bolton scolded as much as he could, immediately took out his mobile phone, kissed his girlfriend on the screen, grabbed Gu Ji's shoulder with the other hand, and shook wildly with excitement, "We made a successful crash landing!" Successfully completed a mountain crash landing!! Unbelievable, my heart is beating out! Yasen, close all engine main electric doors! APU Main Electric Gate!! ”

"Me too, hehehe, fuck the bullshit 7M8......"

Gu Ji gasped for breath, grinned, and while helping Bolton turn off the button, he pressed the headset intercom button to connect the cabin: "Cabin, prepare to carry out emergency evacuation procedures!" ”

"Calm down, everyone! Listen to my arrangement, withdraw from the emergency passage! ”

"God!!"

"Oh! We survived! ”

"Oh my God, unbelievable! Thanks Captain! Woowoo woo ......"

A purser alerted behind the door, followed by a shocking cheer from the passengers.

At this time, a spark suddenly erupted in the cabin.

"God! Mr. Yasen, we need to get out of here! ”

Bolton removed his seatbelt and pulled open the hatch, and by this time the cabin was in chaos, with the purser and the only remaining flight attendant arranging for the passengers to be evacuated from the emergency aisle.

And at the moment when Gu Ji followed him out of the cab.

The voice of the system resurfaced in my head.
