The Afghan landing method is the dive landing method!
The Afghan landing method appeared during the Soviet Union's military operations in Afghanistan in the 1970s and 1980s. At that time, the Afghan guerrillas had a batch of "Stinger" portable anti-aircraft missiles. They often penetrated near the Soviet military airport and took advantage of the Soviet Union's military operations.
The military transport plane launched a missile just before it landed, and the Soviet army paid a heavy price for it.
Aircraft takeoff and landing are the most dangerous moments, and are most likely to be targeted by portable air defense missile systems. The Soviet Army, which suffered a loss, quickly came up with countermeasures. The range of the "Stinger" is 3.5 thousand
meters, so they required the pilots to fly the aircraft to the airport at an altitude higher than the maximum range of the "Stinger" when landing, and then quickly land at a large glide angle.
The Soviet Army called this nearly vertical landing method the "Afghan landing method."
The "Afghanistan Landing Method" is generally used during wartime or to prevent terrorist attacks. Only by achieving precise navigation, accurate movements, and precise corrections can the landing be guaranteed to be foolproof.
Under normal circumstances, when the aircraft is 1 kilometer away from the runway, the flight altitude should be 80 to 100 meters, and the flight speed should meet certain requirements. This leaves the best shooting window for portable air defense missiles. The purpose of diving and landing is to prevent the opponent from attacking
This window does not allow the missile enough aiming time and the best ambush position, because you cannot launch the missile inside the airport, you always have to be some distance away from the airport.
This is Bei Haiyang's method. It tests the pilot's skills to a very high level. If he is not careful, the plane will crash. He does not know that there are stingers on the ground, he only knows that there may be rocket launchers, but he still chooses this method just because
He doesn't want to embarrass his country.
He has absolute confidence in his own skills. In the dream simulation flight training, he has experienced too many similar drops and lifts. This is not blind confidence, but the confidence that has been tempered many times!
Pang Lide shook his head, "Going back twenty years, I should be the one flying the plane! But now, it can't be done!"
Bei Haiyang smiled confidently, "Prepare for weightlessness, let's begin!"
Press the nose, extend the flaps, lower the speed brake, retract the throttle... In a series of actions, the nose of the plane obediently changed from level flight to 10 degrees of attack angle, then 20 degrees, 30 degrees... 60 degrees, angle of attack
getting bigger!
The strong wind came roaring! The huge fuselage brought a sharp roar, and a force pressed the two people tightly on the flight seat. The overloaded force made Pang Lide instantly feel that his head was filled with blood, his vision blurred, and even his thoughts
It also seems to have become dull!
This feeling is getting stronger and stronger, as if I will faint at any time!
The dive was too violent! Not to mention whether the plane could withstand it, his old bones might not be able to withstand it first. He realized that in his current situation he could no longer provide help to his companions, so he reluctantly turned his head and looked at the man next to him.
Guy...
The lunatic seemed completely unconcerned. His expression was excited, his eyes were shining, his operations were precise and concise, and his hands were as steady as a rock!
Pang Lide was a little speechless. The landing method in Afghanistan was also divided into different levels. When this guy operated it, it was purely a suicidal dive, as if he didn't want to pull up again after rushing down!
He had to admit that he was old, not only physically but also mentally!
What a prodigal! For such a crazy operation, even in the army, the instructor would scold and ground him!
I actually believe that this guy has changed his ways? Pang Lide feels that he has been deceived by this guy!
The altimeter jumped down like a cliff, 200, 190, 180... During the fall, the engine power was turned to the minimum and only maintained basic operation. They were no longer an airplane, but a rock with good attitude control!
...The first person to discover the anomaly of LH-777 was not the Beirut tower, but two cargo planes following closely!
British Airways A-1414 was the closest to follow, because Captain Robinson's main idea was that if the Hua people ran away, he would run away too. There was no need to prove anything here, and it couldn't prove anything!
Then there is Air France T-67. Captain Albert still has not made a decision, but it does not affect him to follow; maybe, if he follows, he will make a decision?
Wright was the first to discover the anomaly of LH-777, "Oh my God, they are falling! 777 is falling! Is there some mechanical failure?"
Captain Robinson then scolded: "Stupid! A humanitarian mission ended like this! Out of the five, two gave up, one fell, and two were at a loss!"
Wright was puzzled, "It was so sudden! There was no warning! Looking at the direction of their fall, I think they just hit the runway. This is considered the mission accomplished? Do I need to call them?"
Robinson shook his head, "It's useless! They don't have time to listen to other people's calls! But you can contact the Gauls and hear their opinions?"
Wright, "T-67, this is A-1414, have you seen LH-777?"
Albert's voice said, "See, they seem to be falling? What happened? Is it a missile?"
Robinson, "It's not a missile! At such a high altitude, only the army's anti-aircraft missiles can hit it! And I didn't see an explosion or the missile's wake. It should be a sudden mechanical failure. Seeing such a fall, I was very worried.
I wonder if they can pull it up again!"
Ju Yin, "Should we declare an emergency for LH-777? I have been flying for 20 years and I have never done this kind of thing for anyone else!"
Albert, "If you wait a little longer, if you are lucky, they will still have a chance to pull it together!"
Wright's voice said, "It's pulling! It's pulling! The falling speed has slowed down! The height is now 120. If they continue to pull like this, there is still a chance to save!"
Ju Yin said, "Oh, my God, it's almost leveled! If it weren't for fear of affecting their operations, I would want to ask them right now what happened!"
Robinson, "It's leveled. The altitude is 100. Let's not mention the accident handling. The leveling was done well this time!"
Wright, "Ten thousand feet is a great height, just out of range of the Stinger!"
Albert, "Let's get closer and see what help they need?"
Robinson, "In fact, the help we can provide is very limited! They may not need it!"
Wright said, "Oh, wait, wait, my God! They lost control and started falling again!"
Ju Yin, "Falling again! They are really falling! But it doesn't seem as deep as the first time?"
Robinson, "It must be that the mechanical fault has not been eliminated! I have said before that the Hua people always lack something when flying airplanes? Now I know, what they lack is calmness! It is not appropriate to try too much at this time..."
Albert shouted, "Wright! What did you say last sentence? I didn't hear it clearly!"
Wright, "I said they lost control and started falling again!"
Albert, "Not this sentence, but the previous sentence!"
Wright, "That's a joke! I said the height they leveled was exactly 10,000 feet, well outside the range of the Stinger missile!"
Albert, "That's it! I understand, I understand! This is not a fall at all, but a conscious dive landing! Oh my God, are the Chinese crazy? They are using the Afghan landing method!"
