Bei Haiyang is responsible for controlling the aircraft, while Ito Daimitsu is responsible for observation, instrument observation, and outside observation, especially the four gleaming huge engines. This is the heart of this aircraft. Other things can be substituted, and there is always a remedy.
But the engine power is gone, so let’s go into the island sea to feed the fish!
Then, he saw a long flame behind the nozzle of engine No. 4! It was 3.40 meters long! This was not because the engine was burned, but because the engine was not burning sufficiently, and a large amount of fuel was sprayed out of the engine and burned!
Why is there insufficient combustion? It makes no sense at all!
Ito looked at the left wing again and shouted in horror, "Engine No. 1 is also on fire! The same goes for No. 2 and No. 3! All engines are on fire!"
Bei Haiyang knew he was in trouble! He originally thought that this situation would allow him to fly back to the airport, which was still more than an hour away, but now it seems that this engine fire phenomenon cannot last forever!
In fact, less than a minute after engine No. 4 took the lead in firing, the tachometer suddenly jumped upwards and then stopped rotating!
"Engine No. 4 stalled!" Ito shouted.
Bei Haiyang glanced at him, and it was time to decide his fate! He may encounter the worst situation that a pilot least wants to see - loss of power. The only good news is that this time he does not need to compete with anyone for control of the aircraft.
.
He will decide the fate of this plane and the less than 500 people on board!
"Measures for flameout, engine No. 4!"
"Check power and equipment."
"Ready!"
When the crisis reached its extreme, Ito finally calmed down. This is the most basic quality of an excellent pilot! You can be afraid, but you can't panic!
Bei Haiyang, "Thrust joystick closed..."
Ito, "Activate thrust lever to close..."
Unfortunately, there was no humming sound from the engine starting, and there was no change in the tachometer. It failed to start!
In flight regulations, there are many rules that must be followed; if the engine stalls, the engine shutdown procedure must be performed for the subsequent restart procedure!
Different situations have different handling procedures, so don’t take it for granted! In this way, you don’t have to fly with one partner forever, but you can work with different pilots. The premise is to standardize the operation.
The situation is getting worse!
Ito, "Engine No. 2 stalled!"
Bei Haiyang, "I saw it, prepare to start the No. 2 engine shutdown procedure..."
Ito, "No, no, No. 1 and No. 3 also stalled! All engines stalled!"
Less than a minute after the No. 4 engine stalled, the other three engines stalled almost simultaneously!
Bei Haiyang and Ito silently fastened the seat belts on their seats, and then put on oxygen masks for themselves!
The worst has arrived!
Bei Haiyang, “Declare an emergency to Tokyo Flight Control!”
Ito began to call for help, "MAYDAY, MAYDAY, MAYDAY, this is Dragon Airlines flight 256. All four of our engines stalled and the altitude dropped below 340 degrees!"
"MAYDAY, MAYDAY, MAYDAY, all four engines have stalled, and the altitude continues to decrease!"
The engine stopped running, and the cause of the aircraft failure was unknown. Dragon Airlines Flight 256 began to fall from the sky!
"Dragon Airlines flight 256 called the Tokyo Air Traffic Control Center. All four of our engines stalled and the altitude dropped below 330 degrees..."
Tokyo Air Traffic Control Center, "Is there something wrong with you?"
Ito was a little over the top, the air traffic controller's reaction was too slow!
"Dragon Airlines flight 256 called the Tokyo Air Traffic Control Center. All four of our engines stalled. Repeat, all four of our engines stalled. Now the flight altitude has dropped to 320..."
Tokyo Air Traffic Control, "Dragon Airlines Flight 256, did your No. 4 engine stall?"
Ito yelled, "This idiot didn't understand!"
Bei Haiyang must control Ito's somewhat impulsive emotions, which is very important for a deputy; even if he is still very immature, he needs someone calm enough to help him in the next crisis response, and he is alone
Can't do all the work!
"Don't blame the flight control. This may be our own problem. The aircraft is now wrapped in this strange layer of luminous objects, which may interfere with communications. It is not the professional air traffic control company. All four and No. 4
I can’t even understand the difference!”
Ito took a deep breath and said, "Sorry, I lost my temper. I agree with your judgment. I will continue to call until they can hear you!"
Bei Haiyang nodded and held the joystick tightly in his hand. When the 959 lost all power, he immediately switched off automatic driving. In this case, he believed in himself even more!
Thinking to myself, "What might we have done wrong? There must be a way, some way..."
………………
Shota Nomura was sweating profusely. He felt that he was the most unlucky air traffic controller in the history of the island country, no, the most unlucky air traffic controller in the history of world aviation, no one!
It is extremely rare in the history of aviation for an air traffic controller to handle two aviation accidents at the same time! Not to mention that he is handling four at the same time now! They are also the highest level of aviation accidents, including mid-air parking and fire!
He would very much like today to be April Fool's Day, and the pilots are all joking with him, but behind him, the serious-looking air traffic control team leader, deputy team leader, supervisor, and the senior management who are rushing here after hearing the news, all of this tells him
He, this is a real incident, even if it seems so incredible to common sense!
Just 10 minutes ago, Island Air Flight 1306 from London called for an emergency! Reporting smoke in the cabin and an engine shutdown in the air!
But because the call quality was very poor, he couldn't hear clearly clearly. He couldn't be blamed for this, because several supervisors and other colleagues present also couldn't hear clearly. The signal should have been interfered with by something!
Seven minutes ago, United Airlines flight 961 from San Francisco also called for an emergency. Incredibly, the accident on flight 961 sounded similar to that of flight 1306, with the engine stalled and smoke in the cabin!
How is this possible! Colds can be transmitted between humans. Can the cold be transmitted from aircraft accidents in the sky?
Because I couldn't hear clearly, I couldn't make an accurate judgment. The consensus of more and more experienced air traffic control elites present was that the two flights were transmitting emergencies to each other! Because the signal was not good, they listened
It sounds like two planes had exactly the same malfunction?
This is very common in the aviation industry. There are many passenger flights on the route. They are so densely packed that they are often so crowded that they can see each other. When an accident occurs on one of the flights and communication is not smooth, the air traffic controller will usually ask for the closest one.
It is a rule in the industry to cooperate with other flights, or other flights take the initiative to help.
If this is the case, could there be only one plane involved in the accident? Is Flight 1306 more likely? Or maybe it was Flight 961?
