Thirty minutes later, at 12 o'clock local time, LH-777 passed through Zahle, a city in Lebanon close to Syria.
Bei Haiyang, "Beirut Aviation Control, this is LH-777, requesting guidance!"
Beirut air traffic control, "LH-777, heading 075, altitude dropped to 200, please contact approach 123.3, goodbye."
In the LH-777 flight plan, if the country did not send them an order to move the landing site through a certain aviation control center, they should land in Beirut; of course, if there are unexpected reasons, such as mechanical failure, ground exchanges
Waiting for uncontrollable reasons, the final decision is still in the hands of the two of them.
However, in the battle of great powers, some situations require taking risks!
Confrontations are everywhere. Beirut Airport is right here. Who dares to surrender? Who dares not? This is related to the issue of loudness in the United Nations!
The Bears lost their courage and withdrew early. On the one hand, they may have indeed received some news. On the other hand, even if they took the risk of surrendering, it would not change the Bears' poor status in the world order. They have no economic and military strength. With these
Nothing proves anything!
There are four flights left. Do the Americans dare to stand up? Do the British have the courage to go down? Can the French stir up the backbone of the continent? Do the Chinese have the ambition to overthrow the overlord and ascend to the throne?
A single landing cannot mean anything, but it can mean something, depending on which angle you look at it! If Huaguo dares to step forward in most situations, then the world will gradually acquiesce in Huaguo's rise.
This is not determined by one event, but by countless such events, and Bei Haiyang just happened to encounter one of them.
He began to understand a little bit, why did the senior management choose him to perform such a task! Instead of those who are more stable and experienced? If you just want to have no problems, just change to an experienced one and just fly to another airport. He is not the first.
He is so cold-hearted and has nothing to say about the nature of civil aviation.
The best way to deal with danger is not to challenge it, but to avoid it!
Bei Haiyang, who has realized what he is carrying on his shoulders, is very determined. When it comes to popularity, Hua people are second in this chaotic land, and no country dares to be first. Which of the remaining few is not?
There is a lot of blood debt left here, and they are not afraid, so what the hell is he afraid of!
Twenty minutes later, "Beirut tower, this is Dragon Airlines LH-777, heading 075, altitude 200, requesting approach guidance!"
Beirut tower, "Dragon Airlines LH-777, please maintain an altitude of 200 and wait for approach instructions!"
Bei Haiyang and Pang Lide looked at each other and knew trouble was coming.
As far as the current take-off and landing situation at Beirut Airport is concerned, except for a small number of domestic flights, there are no international flights at all. So in terms of busyness, there is no need to let the planes hover in the sky, one comes and one comes down. There is no need at all.
question.
But now that the tower is asking them to wait, it means something is happening on the ground. Otherwise, wouldn't it be safer to wait on the ground instead of floating in the air?
It is now 12:40 local time. They are 30 kilometers away from the airport. LH-777 still has one and a half hours of fuel, which is enough for them to wait temporarily. But the question is, how long will they have to wait? Can the ground problem be completely solved?
The plane was circling at an altitude of 20,000 feet. Soon, the two discovered two other cargo planes that were also circling, British Airways flight A-1414 and Air France flight T-67.
Apparently, they, like Longhang's LH-777, had received orders to hover and stand by.
Bei Haiyang was very curious, "Captain Pang, have you seen United Airlines flight 589?"
Pang Lide was also looking there, but obviously found nothing just like Bei Haiyang, "No, I want to turn on the radar and have a look."
Bei Haiyang, "Okay! I'm curious if our old American friends will be braver this time?"
Pang Lide turned on the airborne weather radar. Of course, this thing is not as easy to use as the ones on military aircraft, and the detection range is also limited. It is mainly aimed at the weather environment rather than other aircraft; of course, the aircraft can also see it, but it lacks precise positioning.
For experienced pilots, they can tell whether United Airlines 589 is there just by looking at whether the aircraft's bright spot on the radar is circling. Pang Lide has rich experience, so this is a piece of cake.
Normally, the joint action of the five permanent members should have five planes circling here together, waiting for the ceasefire agreement below to be implemented, and then landing one after another.
But the Xiongguo people ran away to Damascus, and now there are only 4 left. They should have seen three light spots from their radar, but no matter how they searched, they only saw two!
Bei Haiyang smiled and said: "It seems that our American friends are also crazy!"
Pang Lide was disdainful, "They know their image in Zhongdong very well!"
Bei Haiyang smiled and said: "Well, say hello, I'm curious about what my friends in Ouzhou think of this matter!"
Switch the channel to the general channel, "Hey guys, am I late?"
British Airways Captain: “No, it’s not too late if you come!”
Air France Captain, "This is a terrible party! All the guests are here, but the owner lets the dog out without preparing food!"
Bei Haiyang said, "Are we just the three planes? Where are the other two companions? They have already landed, right?"
Captain of Air France, "You guessed it right, they did land down; you guessed wrong too, one landed in Damascus and the other landed in Cyprus."
Bei Haiyang laughed, "Is it because the owner is too enthusiastic? Do they feel they deserve it?"
British Airways captain said, "Yes, they are so enthusiastic. I can't wait to set off fireworks to welcome them!"
Bei Haiyang, "It's rude to keep guests waiting! I'm afraid I won't be able to wait until they roast the camel. What do you think?"
The Air France captain said simply, "It's 12:40 now. If I don't get landing guidance within half an hour, I will fly to the alternate airport!"
British Airways Captain, "I agree! I think we should have a unified attitude, which will help them make decisions!"
Waiting for half an hour is not entirely a matter of time, but if the problem cannot be solved after another half hour, it means that it is probably a big trouble, and there is no need for them to take risks at Beirut Airport!
This is a common understanding of danger, and they are experienced veterans who know when to take risks and when not to.
Bei Haiyang said, "In half an hour, hey, can any of you tell me which place has more beautiful girls, Malaysia or Cyprus?"
British Airways Captain, "Sorry, I'm afraid you can't see anything but a drop cloth!"
The Air France captain was even more humorous, "Come back to Paris with me, I guarantee that it will meet any of your aesthetic requirements!"
The three people joked with each other on the channel, but no one revealed how determined they were to land in Beirut!
