119 "I am confident that I will return everyone to the ground safely"
HN6521 returned to Beixing from Zhoushuizi Airport, the original arrival time was 14:50, and entered the sky over Beijing, and the plane had begun to descend in altitude.
In the cockpit, Qin Siyan stared indifferently at the data on the dashboard, and the four bars on the epaulettes revealed a silent and serious aura.
In the cabin, the cabin crew is conducting a safety check before the plane lands.
Passengers are also instructed to fasten their seat belts, straighten the backrests of their seats, put away the small tables, and open the light shields......
After more than an hour of flight, they are about to arrive at their destination, and the passengers on the plane are looking forward to it.
At this moment, a wisp of choking smoke suddenly appeared in the cabin, and the first passenger coughed a few times: "What kind of smell is this......
In just a few seconds, the surrounding people had just reacted, and the thick smoke was already dense throughout the cabin.
"It can't be a fire, right??"
"Ahem...... What's wrong with the plane?? ”
"Woo woo mom, I'm scared ......"
A panic spread rapidly, at first there were people with mobile phones to film, as the smoke became thicker, some passengers were choked until they couldn't breathe, and no one was holding the mind to watch the excitement and deal with the crisis that happened to them.
The flight attendants in the cabin quickly searched for the source of the smoke and arranged for the third seat to report the situation to the cockpit, while calming the passengers and teaching them how to deal with such an emergency.
The cabin radio bell rang, and the purser still calmly calmed everyone's emotions in such a crisis situation: "Passengers, please fasten your seat belts, don't panic, trust us...... Now please lower your posture, bow your head, bend over, and cover your mouth and nose with the wipes we have distributed......"
"I'm still young, I don't want to die yet!"
Some passengers who were emotionally broken whimpered in low voices, and some people cried and wrote suicide notes, all feeling the despair of the approaching death......
In the cockpit.
Qin Siyan and co-pilot Luo Cheng had already received the cabin smoke report, and the smoke alarm in the cargo compartment inside the aircraft also sounded at the same time.
It is impossible to accurately determine the source of the fire, but the current situation must be in danger.
"Brother Yan, hang 7700?"
Glancing at the warning message on the EWD, he made a decisive decision: "Hang." ”
At the critical moment, Qin Siyan's voice was also stable to the point that there was no slightest wave, and then he contacted the air traffic control at the frequency: "Beixing approach, HN6521, smoke in the cabin, smoke in the cargo hold, request priority landing." ”
Approach control soon received a request: "HN6521, Beixing approach received, runway 01L is now open for you." ”
Just as he was about to repeat it, the No. 2 engine fire alarm sounded, a screeching sound in the cockpit that constantly warned of the danger situation, and the No. 2 engine fire alarm message appeared on the EWD panel at the same time.
A landing reminder as soon as possible has been shown on the ECAM.
"Luo Cheng, you are responsible for the second engine shutdown."
Qin Siyan looked at the fire alarm panel and the information of various instruments, held the control stick in his hand, maintained the attitude of the aircraft, and operated the throttle to slow down, so that the speed of the No. 2 engine decreased.
At the same time, the ECAM handling is handed over to the co-pilot.
The co-pilot Luo Cheng took the procedure of shutting down the No. 2 engine, opened the safety cover, pressed the fire extinguishing button switch, cut off the fuel and hydraulics, and released the engine fire extinguishing bottle to prevent the engine from further deterioration.
He observed the follow-up alarm and frowned: "Brother Yan, the fire hasn't been extinguished yet......"
Qin Siyan's face remained unchanged: "Got it." ”
Then contacted the Beixing Airport Tower, he shouted three times in succession, calmly: "Mayday Mayday Mayday, HN6521, second fire alarm, cabin smoke, cargo hold smoke, apply to maintain the current course, special handling." ”
After establishing communication with the control tower, determining the course and landing runway, he turned on the cabin announcement.
In the cabin, shrouded in tension and fear, a man's calm and powerful voice appeared: "Passengers, I am the captain of this flight. ”
"Our aircraft is currently experiencing mechanical problems, but please rest assured that all of our crew members are professionally trained, and I am confident that we will be able to return everyone to the ground safely."
Ground.
After HN6521 put out the 7700 emergency code and continuously called Mayday, Beixing Airport has already activated the emergency response procedure.
As a maintenance officer, what she has to do at this time is to continue to stick to her post and wait for the call at any time, even if Lin Kongyu knows that the plane at this time is likely to be unable to enter the parking position with normal procedures, she and her colleagues still can't relax.
All kinds of sirens are becoming more and more harsh, and the fire rescue and medical assistance forces of Beixing Airport are all in place quickly.
Boarding rescue vehicles, main battle foam vehicles and other vehicles have been waiting next to the runway, and the relevant emergency rescue system of the airport has also quickly cooperated, temporarily emptying all runways and closing the airport control area.
The colleagues beside Lin Kongyu haven't seen such a big battle for a long time: "I don't know how the situation is......
But if you think about it, you can know that Mayday's rescue signal has been shouted, which means that this is a rare air specialty.
Lin Kongyu still stood in place with his back straight, but the hand holding the baton was constantly sweating, and his legs seemed to have lost sensation.
The sky over the previously busy Beixing Airport suddenly became quiet, and everyone was waiting for the plane to approach in danger.
She was on the apron, and she couldn't know what kind of crisis Qin Siyan was dealing with at this time, and she couldn't determine how dangerous the situation he was facing.
But she kept telling herself that he could do it.
Qin Siyan is the youngest and most capable pilot of China Airlines.
……
Many flight enthusiasts have already observed the Mayday signal, saw it hang out the 7700 code, and immediately announced the news on major social media.
"What happened? Has anyone been kept up to date on the situation? ”
"How's HN6521 doing??"
"HN6521 is about to arrive at Beixing Airport!!"
On Flightrada, a software that tracks global flight dynamics in real time, HN6521 has also been ranked first in real-time tracking, and almost all civil aviation practitioners and flyers around the world are paying attention to its latest movements.
I don't know how long it has been, Lin Kongyu looked at the sky and finally appeared an Airbus A320neO.
Even if there was still a very long distance, Lin Kongyu could see the fire coming from the tail of the second engine of the plane.
Her heart tightened, and she was about to lose her breath in an instant.
Qin Siyan was able to land safely.
He sure could.
At this time, the cabin crew in HN6521 has used all their professional skills to calm the passengers, informing them: "Our plane is about to land, please double check that your seat belts are fastened and fastened......"
In the cockpit, Qin Siyan controlled the aircraft with only one engine left running, and had the final communication with the tower.
In his voice, there was a convincing and reassuring calmness: "Beixing Tower, HN6521, establish 01L blind landing." ”
