"It's too dangerous, I won't agree!" Ju Yin still objected because neither of them had received special training in this area.
In the American countries, the relationship between the captain and the co-pilot is relatively reasonable. The captain is not domineering, and the co-pilot dares to speak freely. In their culture, status is not as important as that of Easterners.
Albert insisted, "Listen to me, I am still confident that the angle of attack can be changed to 30 degrees! You can adjust it to about 20 degrees for a dive landing a few thousand feet before the final landing..."
Ju Yin got angry and said, "Abei, please don't flatter yourself, okay? If the angle of attack is 20 degrees, it's not called a dive, it's called an emergency landing, and it's two different things from landing in Afghanistan, okay?"
During normal landing, the aircraft pitches down between 10 and 15 degrees to lower the altitude and enter the descent channel guidance. Therefore, the last 20 degrees of attack angle mentioned by Albert is at best a temporary attitude continuation to adjust the altitude, which is between normal and normal.
a workaround between landing and landing in afghanistan,
Albert was helpless, "I also wanted to dive at a 60-degree angle and finally a 45-degree dive, but I couldn't do it! One thing Wright said was right. Hua people must be military transport aircraft pilots. Only military pilots can practice
This one landed in a war zone!
But I think his idea is right, try to reduce the time exposed to those tin houses. Who knows who is hiding inside?
Normal landing is too time-consuming, and we are exposed to those dangerous areas for nearly 10 minutes. If we increase the angle of attack appropriately, although we cannot be as professional as LH-777 and compress the time to less than 3 minutes, I think we can compress it to less than 3 minutes.
5 or 6 minutes is also good.”
Ju Yin understood what he meant, "If that's the case, of course I agree! But you can't use the Afghan landing method to scare people, others will laugh at you!"
Albert insisted, "I'll just call it the Afghan landing! Any questions?"
Ju Yin shook his head. This old man's competitiveness is really unparalleled. Forget it, I don't have the same experience as him. Fortunately, he still knows where the ceiling of his ability is!
"The dive of the LH-777 is divided into two stages. From 20,000 feet to 10,000 feet, the angle of attack is 60 degrees, which should be to adapt and test the endurance of the body components; at 10,000 feet, the angle of attack is changed to 45 degrees, which is a very smart approach.
!Otherwise he won’t be able to level the plane!
We don’t need to divide it into two stages, just keep diving down at 20 to 25 degrees, and I will figure out where the starting position of the dive is later!”
Albert was very satisfied, "Just do this. For the two of us at our age, the dive is too steep and we may not be able to control the balance."
The T-67 began to prepare. It changed its flight direction in order to find a suitable initial point for the dive. Its change attracted the attention of British Airways A-1414.
"Hey, the Gauls are also preparing to land here! Looking at their movements, it seems they are also planning to land in Afghanistan. Is this possible?" Wright shouted.
Robinson was very unsure, "I saw it! But you may not have noticed that their starting point was much further back than the original LH-777! This shows that their dive was not complete! It was a castrated version of the landing in Afghanistan.
!
That's what the Gauls are like. They have no strength but want to learn other people's difficult moves. Maybe they will fall into it!
Let's continue to look. With the first two planes exploring the path, we can basically determine the safety level on the ground!"
Wright asked, "Aren't we going to the alternate airport?"
Robinson asked, "How else can we go there? The British Empire has never been afraid of challenges. We will descend here. If they can go down, so can we!"
Wright, "Okay! Do we also use the Afghan landing method?"
Robinson disagreed, "I can't! Can you?"
Seeing Wright shaking his head in embarrassment, Robinson smiled slightly and said, "A gentleman should act like a gentleman! They are doing it in a turbulent way, but we must do it steadily!"
Land normally! Establish a blind channel! This is the style of our British Empire!
We are not afraid of bazookas!"
Wright just laughed. How could he not be afraid? He simply knew that there was nothing underneath! But he couldn't say this clearly.
As they watched, the Air France T-67 entered the initial point and began to dive at an altitude of 20,000 feet... Well, the dive was a bit forced, that is, the nose of the aircraft dropped a little more than normal.
T-67 starts to go downwards and never looks back!
Don't underestimate this kind of operation, it still tests the pilot's ability. If you don't control it well, a small dive will turn into a big dive, the speed will get faster and faster, and in the end you won't be able to stop the car...
However, the two captains are indeed the most outstanding pilots of Air France. They have always controlled the speed well during the entire dive; because the angle of attack is relatively small, it will not have much impact on the pilot's body, and everything is under control.
middle!
Soon, the T-67 dropped below 10,000 feet, the situation on the ground became clear, and the runway was clearly visible.
Ju Yin soon discovered a small mistake on their part! Because they did not move widely enough during the previous 10,000-foot descent, which was a bit conservative, so if they still dive at the current angle of attack, they will most likely land in the middle of the runway.
!
If it were a normal runway, it would be fine. The remaining distance would be enough for them to stop, but now the runway at Beirut Airport has been blown off a section of its tail...
"Albert, your angle of attack needs to be a little bigger! Otherwise we will land too far back! Or should we fly again? Do it all over again at an altitude of 10,000 feet?"
Albert obviously thinks this is not a big problem, "No! It's too troublesome! It's too embarrassing to go around after such a dive and landing! I can still control it, just increase the angle of attack a little, and you will let me know when the position is aligned."
Change it back again!”
Ju Yin didn't think this was a good idea, but he couldn't compete with this stubborn old man, and he really didn't think it would be too dangerous. Although it was indeed not as good as the Hua people, the gap wouldn't be that big, right?
Soon, the T-67 dropped to a medium-low altitude of 3,000 feet or 1,000 meters, and it was ready to pull!
Albert felt the pressure! Such a landing was several times more difficult than imagined. The key was that he didn't know how much he should pull up!
If the aircraft pulls too early, the plane will jump over the center line of the runway; if it pulls too late, it will not land on the runway. Current calculations can no longer help them, so they can only rely on intuition!
The key is that the speed seems to be a bit out of control, getting faster and faster!
"Albert! Watch your speed, it's too fast!" Ju Yin shouted.
Albert gritted his teeth and insisted, "I can't stop! The inertia is too great! Put the landing gear in advance and open the speed brake..."
In the end, the T-67 successfully leveled off before landing on the runway, but the position was a bit behind and the landing speed was very fast!
"Spoiler, reverse thrust, brake two, no, brake three..."
"We can't stop! Hit that big hole or go into the lawn? You have to make a decision now!"
Albert looked at the eye-catching warning sign approaching rapidly in front of him and knew he had to make a decision immediately!
