Chapter Five Hundred and Seventy Five - Gravity Throwing
"Which runway do we need to go?" Qianyu asked, controlling the joystick, looking at the gyroscope on the dashboard. "If we finally find that our course is not aimed at the runway, it will be difficult to deal with."
"There is a long track in this direction, so don't worry." Shinji Takamori replied. "Just cut in from the coast, there will be a long enough emergency main track."
"Where is our specific location now?" Qian Yu asked with some concern. "I don't know exactly where we are now. If you open the wrong location..."
"I will contact the tower, don't worry," Sadaji Takamori flipped through a notebook in his hand. This is different from the JAL manual he held before. It is completely his personal manual. It records all the details of the Far East cargo planes in the hydraulically-free landing. "What you have to do now is to stabilize the plane. I will intervene again after reading the records... By the way, report the speed and altitude."
"Speed 270, height 210." Qian Yu replied.
"That's almost the same." After responding, Sadao Takamori responded, he began to read the manual again.
"The speed of the plane may slow down, you're mentally prepared," said Shinji Takamori suddenly. "The good news is that the plane should be a little easier to operate."
"What are you going to do?" Qianyu raised his eyebrows. "If that happens, the plane may bump."
"Just put the landing gear down, don't worry," said Sadaji Takamori, turning a handle. "Unlike those components, the landing gear itself has the means of artificial gravity placing the landing gear in addition to hydraulic mode."
As he said this, he had completed several operations and finally pressed the button to place the landing gear. "I hope the hydraulic pressure is almost gone."
"What does it mean?" Qian Yu was stunned.
"I hope there will be no liquid locking condition-" Shinji Eaglemon watched the landing gear lights light up, and his face suddenly became extremely ugly. "Damn it!"
On the dashboard, almost all the landing gear lights were lit, except for one of them.
The landing gear lights in front of the plane under their feet did not light up.
"What's wrong?" Qianyu couldn't see what was going on, because he was busy dealing with the speed changes and control mode changes that occurred after the landing gear was put down.
"The front landing gear is locked by liquid locks," said Sadashi Eaglemori in a deep voice. "The front landing gear cannot be put down now."
"What should we do?" Qian Yu asked again.
"It can't be dealt with." After a moment of silence, Sadaji Eaglemori sighed. "I'll deal with it when landing later. You hide behind the plane and take your friends to hide behind. I think there should be some unsold seats there. Remember to tie your seat belts and prepare for anti-collision."
The landing of the landing gear is composed of two hydraulic subsystems A and B. The landing gear requires the hydraulic pressure in the action cylinder of the landing gear from the A system and give the landing gear space to lower the space. However, once the hydraulic oil of the system A system is not released from the return oil pipeline, but the closed shutter is stuck in the action cylinder, the action cylinder will be stuck and cannot be released slowly in place with gravity. As for why the front landing gear rather than the rear landing gear is not in place, it is probably because the front landing gear itself is relatively light, and the rear landing gear is relatively heavy in comparison, so it is easier to lock it through gravity. (In the flight technology, there is an operation of diving and pulling up by large angles, and throwing out the landing gear by centrifugal gravity. In this process, the front landing gear is basically the most difficult to throw out, because this product is too light and difficult to throw into a fixed position and get stuck in it.)
Under the current situation, the hydraulic oil of the two hydraulic systems of AB should have leaked light as the tail of the machine ruptures, but obviously a small part of it is locked in the action cylinder and cannot be released - and this is a situation that they are completely unable to handle now.
Because the normal way to deal with this situation is to "repeat the flight spoiler repeatedly to release the participating hydraulic pressure". However, how do they now operate the flight spoiler without control?
Thinking of this, Sadaji Eaglemori's mouth twitched. "You can continue to ensure a smooth flight first. I need to communicate with the flight attendant."
Since the landing gear cannot be released simply by gravity, they may need to throw out the landing gear by centrifugal force. During this process, the plane is very bumpy, so they must communicate with the passengers in advance and let them fasten their seat belts.
...
About two minutes later, Sadao Takamori ended his communication with the flight attendant and reluctantly picked up the radio phone. He originally wanted the flight attendant to do it, but the flight attendant told him that he, a professional, should explain it to everyone.
"Everyone, I am the flight instructor of the DC-10 passenger plane currently flying the plane," said Sadaji Takamori, who took a breath, making his voice more mature and reliable. "As you may have felt, our plane has lost its hydraulic system and cannot control the plane in a conventional way. Therefore, we are currently using unconventional means to fly the plane in order to return to the new Chitose Airport. In order to make the plane's flight more stable, we are preparing to use gravity throwing action to try to release the landing gear. During this process, the aircraft faces quite serious bumps. Therefore, I hope that all passengers can fasten their seat belts and perform anti-impact postures. As the most elite flight instructor class of DC-10, I am confident that I can lead everyone to create miracles, OVER."
After saying that, Shinji Eaglemon looked at Qianyu with some nervousness. If you want to say dangerous things, I'm afraid this kid is the most dangerous. The cockpit of the DC-10 has five seats, two driver seats, one random engineer seat, and two observer seats, but there is no one Qianyu can sit on these seats now. As long as Qianyu sits in any position, he will definitely not be able to reach the two throttle valves that can still be used.
"You sit in the captain's position first, and I will maintain the flight stability." Sadao Yukimori said.
"Uh..." Qian Yu didn't look back, but just made a hesitant voice.
"Don't underestimate me. Compared to you, I'm a professional." Shinji Eaglemori snorted and said coldly. "And do you know how to throw gravity, Xiaocai Chicken?"
"Woo—" Qian Yu let out a helpless cry. "Then do you take over directly?"
