At this time, the purser had also completely recovered her senses. She patted Sun Xiaoxun on the shoulder. "Little girl, I know you're worried about your lover, but it's precisely at times like this that you should listen to him."
"But you guys..."
The purser said with a solemn expression, "I'm a staff member of this plane. I have the responsibility and obligation to be on standby here at all times. As for Mr. Chen, he's a great man."
On the other side, Chen Guang no longer paid attention to the situation behind him. Instead, he once again focused all his attention on piloting the plane. One person playing the role of two pilots and a technician was simply too tiring.
Sun Xiaoxun tightly pursed her lips and looked deeply at Chen Guang's back. Finally, she opened the cabin door and returned to the first-class cabin. She pulled out her seat belt and fastened it.
The people around her all gathered their heads, wanting to ask her about the situation. However, Sun Xiaoxun put away the fear in her heart. A calm smile once again appeared on her face. "It's alright. He's very confident now. Everyone just needs to believe in him with me."
At this time, Chen Guang's voice came from the loudspeaker. "Hello, passengers. I am your captain, Chen Guang. The plane will land at Jiaodao Airport in twelve minutes and thirty seconds. I will bring you back alive. Thank you, everyone. "
When the ground control tower heard Chen Guang's words, it was also silent.
Regardless of whether he could succeed in the end, or whether he knew how to fly a plane, as a passenger, he bravely sat in the most dangerous position of the captain at this special time. He fought for the lives of the three hundred people on the plane. He was indeed great enough.
In fact, before today, the image of Chen Guang in the hearts of the old masters wasn't very high. Perhaps he was just a lucky person with good luck and a bit of talent.
He had obtained the favor of the God of Fate, which was why he was able to become the friend of someone like Sect Master Wen. He was also extremely close to Old Master Lin's grandson, Lin Jingwei, and had also learned some extraordinary skills, which allowed him to do very well in the online world.
But why did Sect Master Wen admire him? Why did Jin Shiyue become infatuated with him? Why did Jiang Yage also seem to like him? Why did martial artists like Xin Qin and Wu Miaowan willingly become his deputy bureau chief? Why did he always make the people around him involuntarily take him as their master? Even an illustrious third generation like Lin Jingwei, who coincidentally lived in the same dormitory as him, was willing to be his little brother. Even a proud son of heaven like Bai Hua quickly became his friend.
At this moment, these old masters, who boasted that they had seen too many life and death situations, finally understood that the most precious thing about this kid was this.
If it was anyone else in his current situation, they would not be able to do better than him. They would not be able to be braver and more responsible than him.
He had a kind of spirit. No matter how big the matter was, he would not be afraid, and he would be able to handle it.
It was really hard to imagine that he had never flown a plane before today, but at this moment, he was able to perform so professionally and so calmly.
This was no longer as simple as the younger generation being to surpass the older. He was simply a genius!
A great genius!
He was a genius who could carry a mountain on his shoulders, an A330, and 300 lives on his shoulders!
At this moment, in a place that Chen Guang couldn't see, four girls were tightly covering their mouths. They were afraid that the sound of their sobs would be transmitted over there and disturb Chen Guang.
The hundreds of staff in the China Airlines command center could understand Chen Guang's current situation.
But they were all wrong. They thought that the current Chen Guang had performed perfectly and was sufficiently experienced, but they did not expect that the true ace pilot's skills were just beginning.
If he succeeded, this would be a forced landing that would go down in the annals of history!
"Calling the command center, I don't have time to do flight control checks. I will shut down the left engine and enter a full glide state."
Chen Guang spoke into the communicator as he rapidly controlled the plane.
"Only one engine can be started. I don't have a second chance."
"Please report the airport wind speed and direction."
"Wind direction 180 degrees, wind speed 10 knots."
"Very good, it just happens to be a south wind, against the wind."
The plane continued to descend, much faster than a normal descent. After all, there was only a distance of 60 kilometers left for him.
This distance might be very far for a vehicle, but for a plane, it was only a matter of ten minutes.
"Does No. 333 require assistance in calculating the landing speed?"
"No need, I am currently checking the remaining fuel. The left engine has 7.684 tons of fuel remaining. I will land at 154 knots."
"That's too fast!"
"The distance is too short. I must reduce the altitude as soon as possible, but I also have to speed up a little before landing. Otherwise, I will fall straight down."
The person in charge of the command center no longer questioned Chen Guang's decision. In fact, he had already made a major mistake. No matter whether the captain's decision was right or wrong, in a situation where the information was not synchronized, as the ground commander, he had to unconditionally trust the captain's decision.
But in his heart, he could not help but scream crazily, how did you calculate 154 knots!
The plane was getting closer and closer to Jiaodong Airport. There were not many opportunities left for Chen Guang. He controlled the altitude at a very dangerous level and maintained the glide to land. The plane made a large circle in the air to aim at the runway.
Because the electronic control system was completely out of contact with the ground, Chen Guang could only continuously adjust the angle according to the verbal instructions of the ground command center's radar. The thunderstorm had stopped a lot at this time, but the gloomy sky and drizzling rain still made visibility very poor.
Even more unfavorable was that because the right engine had exploded, the plane had lost 65% of its steering performance. This caused his circle to be much larger than normal. The glide height exceeded the warning line, and he had to increase his speed slightly to maintain his altitude.
If the autopilot system could still be used, in the process of increasing speed with a single engine, the plane could use the precise values calculated by the computer to adjust the amplitude of the tail fins. But now, this had to be done by Chen Guang himself.
The chief flight attendant sat rigidly in the back, watching Chen Guang's amazing operation. She had been a flight attendant for more than ten years, but she had never thought that a person could actually control the plane so steadily in fully manual mode.
Was this guy's brain filled with a computer?
How did he calculate the angle?
Similar questions popped up in the chief flight attendant's mind again.
What was even more frightening was that in such a busy manual operation, it was as if one person was doing the work of several people at the same time. One moment he would turn on this switch, the next moment he would press that button. In the process, he would occasionally pay attention to the constantly refreshed alerts on the central monitoring system!
And from time to time, his hand would reach out like lightning to deal with the central monitoring system's alert information!
Are you even human?!
"F * ck, this is so tiring."
On the other side, Chen Guang finally had the plane completely aimed at the runway. He shook his hands. In fact, his hands and feet were not tired. It was just that he was mentally exhausted from holding on for so long as he was the pilot of three people.
"Please verify that the plane is completely aimed at the runway! Also, No.333, your current speed is too fast! "
"Alright, alright, brother. Everything is under control. When I open the landing gear, the wind resistance will increase. At a wind speed of 10 knots against the wind, this speed is just right."
Seeing that success was imminent, Chen Guang was relieved. Brother, are you kidding me? How can the God of Aerial Combat not aim at the runway?
You don't know how good my eyes are. When I throw a dart, I can clearly see the legs of a fly dozens of meters away. Right now, with just my eyes, they are even more accurate than a radar, okay?
I will treat this plane and myself as a big dart and throw it directly!
As for the speed, don't worry, young man. It looks a little fast, but this is the precise calculation of the Old Man. Alright, it's completely the intuition of an ace pilot. I can stop. The runway is 3,000 meters long. I can stop at 2,950 meters. I can guarantee that the error is no more than five meters.
"Brag, brag, my pride and indulgence..."
For some reason, his mind was not thinking. As he calmly adjusted the nose of the plane, at the same time, he pulled open the manual landing gear switch. He was actually humming a song!
Brother, why are you singing!
The purser and the person on the other end of the communication device stared with their eyes wide open. You are really calm!
At this time, the person in charge of the command center finally could not hold it in anymore. "Chief Chen! Your right speed pedal can't be opened! You only have a single engine, and the reverse thrust can't be used! "
"Yes, I know. I knew it a long time ago. I really don't want to explain to you the maximum pressure that the A330's tires can withstand. I can only tell you that this is the only way for me to land. If not, if I slow down even a little, I will fall headfirst. Also, I can accurately tell you that out of ten of my brakes, six will explode, but not a single person will die. I will stop at 2,950 meters. I will not go off the runway. "
At this moment, Chen Guang was unhappy with the commotion coming from the other party. "What are you crying for? I've already noticed all of this, alright? If I waited for you to remind me, I would've died seven or eight times."
What?!
You can even calculate how many tires will explode when you stop!
Don't be so pretentious!
Also, what's with the 2,950 meters you mentioned?
I have never heard of a pilot who can calculate so accurately during a forced landing!
This is still an emergency landing!
And it is a military runway that is much shorter than a normal runway. It is only 3,000 meters!
I don't know why, but I feel that you are bragging.
At a time like this, can we be a little more normal?
Even though he was cursing in his heart, the pitiful person in charge of the command center had no choice but to swallow the thousands of words he wanted to say.
Again, he could not say anything, especially not to disturb the captain.
"I want to fly very high …"
You are singing again!
The commander of the command center gritted his teeth. He once again doubted his professionalism. He really wanted to interrupt this guy.
The plane finally approached the runway. The ground control tower looked nervously at DL 199333 on the screen. The hundreds of people in the China Airlines command center clenched their fists. Their palms were sweating from nervousness.
In the next few seconds, this disaster-ridden Airbus A330 would meet its final fate.
The others who were further away weren't any better off.
The cabin was even more solemn. Everyone was so nervous that they could not breathe.
Sun Xiaoxun's hands were clenched tightly. She did not pray to any god. She just kept thinking in her heart. Chen Guang said that everyone would be safe and sound. He would not lie!
What he said, he would definitely keep his word!
When the wheels of the landing gear touched the ground, there was a burst of ear-piercing noise. The plane was shaking violently.
Life and death were separated by a thin line.
The moment before the landing was the most dangerous moment of the entire process!
There was also the biggest difficulty here. When a normal plane was about to land, it usually needed to maintain autopilot for a period of time. The computer would distribute power and control the engine. At the same time, it would turn on various deceleration devices to adjust the speed.
But Chen Guang did not have any of these. The plane had stalled to the point where it was constantly descending. Only a single engine could not provide stable power. There was no autopilot system to adjust the opening degree of the flaps for him. All of this had to be manually controlled by him.
An experienced pilot could rely on his feelings to find out the opening degree of the flaps and leave the fate to his own intuition.
But in the eyes of others, Chen Guang was a complete novice. It was impossible for him to have any experience. In other words, even an experienced pilot could not rely solely on human strength to be more accurate than the computer's calculation.
But the fact was that during the entire gliding and landing process, Chen Guang had really relied on the fine adjustments of his fingers to control the opening degree of the flaps to the peak.
When he said that the plane would land at 154 knots, it was exactly the same, not an inch more.
Apart from that, the landing angle was also a big difficulty.
But Chen Guang had controlled the height of the nose of the plane perfectly. All the wheels touched the ground almost at the same time.
The moment the ten wheels touched the ground, Chen Guang slammed on the brakes. He raised the nose of the plane to prevent it from falling upside down. At the same time, he began braking.
Creaking sounds rang through every part of the plane. All the parts started to shake wildly. Everyone in the cabin screamed. The people on the other side of the communication device could even hear the terrifying creaking sounds.
The commanders in the control tower of Jiaodong Airport, the firefighters and ambulances waiting nearby watched as the plane's tires sprouted thick smoke due to the intense friction.
The drizzle could not stop the tires from quickly heating up due to the intense friction.
Just as the person in charge of the command center had said, landing at 154 knots was too fast.
The plane quickly charged past half of the runway. With a loud bang, the first two tires at the front of the plane exploded due to being unable to withstand the terrifying impact and friction.
The steel frame below the nose of the plane smashed heavily against the ground and then broke. The nose of the plane completely touched the runway, bringing with it a path of sparks as it quickly advanced. Terrifying heat rose from the bottom of the plane.
The engine fairing hanging under the wings scraped against the ground. The sparks were as bright as the sun on the ground. The parts flew along the way.
"I am a little little little bird … I want to fly, but I can't fly high …"
What time was this!
You're still singing!
Just as everyone was so nervous their hearts were about to burst out of their throats, Chen Guang's broken gong-like voice, the off-key singing that went to the Pacific Ocean, came out of the communication device again. It almost made people think they were hallucinating.
It wasn't until he began to sing the next line, "I'm looking for a warm embrace, is this request too high?" that everyone believed that he was really singing!
You're crazy!
You're not only the first pilot in history to perform an emergency landing without any flying experience, you're the only pilot in history to sing off-key while landing!
What a lunatic!
