Chapter 67: Running Out Of Fuel, Forced Landing At Longcheng Airport
Chapter 67: Running out of fuel, forced landing at Longcheng Airport
Dongshen Air Force Military Flight Command Academy.
The discovery of the J-X-9 fighter jet was quickly reported to the tower command center.
Qian Jiaguo hurried over and said as soon as he entered the tower: "Old Xiao, another J-9 fighter should have been found.
When Xiao Wanjun heard this, he quickly asked: "Where is it? How is the situation now?"
Everyone else also looked at Qian Jiaguo.
The two J-X-9 fighters have now become the focus of the Dongshen Air Force. This matter is no longer the concern of the Dongshen Air Force Military Flight Command Academy, but even the military.
For the wealthy Dongshen Air Force, the total loss of two J-X-9 fighters is affordable, but if something happens to two outstanding student pilots, it will be a loss for the entire country.
Moreover, if the fighter plane crashes, it will be fine if it crashes in an empty and uninhabited area, but if it crashes in a densely populated area, it will be a huge flight accident.
Now, one of the two J-X-9 fighters has crashed, and traces of the other one have also appeared. How can Xiao Wanjun and others not be in a hurry.
"The situation is like this..."
Qian Jiaguo briefly explained what he learned.
"Are you sure that's our other missing J-X-9 fighter?"
"Although I can't be 100% sure, I have already asked the air force bases in several nearby cities. No fighter planes are missing. Even if there are fighter planes performing missions, the communication system is intact. There is no way to contact other aircraft. Based on the above circumstances, the fighter plane following Xia 330 flight should be the J-X12-9 fighter plane that lost contact with our hospital."
Qian Jiaguo expressed his guess.
Xiao Wanjun nodded and said: "If nothing unexpected happens, it should be yes. Are you sure it's Wei?"
Qian Jiaguo shook his head: "We can't be sure yet."
"Has anyone been found on the crashed fighter plane?"
"Not yet, the snowstorm is too heavy, and the crash site is in Beicheng Mountain, making the search extremely difficult. Lao Xiao, we need to prepare."
Xiao Wanjun nodded: "Let's not talk about this for now, increase the search intensity, and inform the love field at Longcheng Airport that the missing fighter plane must land safely."
"Arrangements have been made over there. Dongshen Flight 330 will guide us and we will land soon.
"However, the fighter plane may have run out of fuel as it rushed out of the blizzard."
"No matter who is on the fighter plane, whether it is Qin Xiao or Xue He, they are the best students in the academy. We have to believe that he can land successfully." Xiao Wanjun's tone dropped, and a trace of worry appeared on his face.
It would be dangerous if you run out of fuel before reaching the airport.
Moreover, near the airport, you cannot randomly abandon the plane and skydive, otherwise it may cause huge casualties.
at the same time.
On the J-X-9 fighter plane, Qin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Dongshen Flight 300 flying towards the airport.
The other party should have understood what he meant.
"I hope the airport has been cleared!"
Qin Xiao sighed slightly.
At this moment, the flashing fuel light suddenly rang, and then started beating rapidly.
Qin Xiao's expression changed slightly.
Fuel is almost gone.
"How could it be so fast?"
"There were a lot of them just now. At least they could fly to the airport and land. How come they are gone all of a sudden?"
"Is it possible that the fuel gauge malfunctioned due to the snowstorm?"
Thinking of this possibility, Qin Xiao also smiled bitterly.
Looking up and looking at the flight direction of Dongshen Flight 330, Qin Xiao accelerated directly past Dongshen Flight 330 and struck directly into the distance.
We can no longer follow Dongshen Flight 330 and drive slowly to the airport. We must take advantage of the height and speed we still have and drive to the vicinity of the airport. Otherwise, once the fuel is exhausted and the J-X-9 fighter fails to reach the airport, the J-X-9 fighter may really Going to crash.
Abandoning the plane and parachuting...
After looking at the lights below, it was obvious that it was impossible to abandon the plane. Even if he wanted to parachute, he would have to drive the plane to an uninhabited area first.
Qin Dao's behavior immediately stunned the captain of Dongshen Flight 330.
How come you were following so well and suddenly accelerated to the front?
Could it be...out of gas?
Thinking of this possibility, the captain's face changed drastically. As the captain of a civil aviation airliner, he naturally knew what would happen if the plane ran out of fuel.
Unable to contact Qin Xiao, the captain could only quickly contact Captain Longcheng and report his guess to the airport.
The news soon reached the Dongshen Air Force Military Flight Command Academy, which was in real-time contact with the airport.
"He must have run out of fuel, so he had no choice but to cross Dongshen Flight 330, hoping to reach the airport before the fuel ran out." Lin Shun, who had been at the scene, immediately pointed out the problem.
Apart from this, there will be no second situation.
If there is enough fuel, he believes that neither Qin Xiao nor Xue He will choose to fly beyond the B30 flight.
If there is a problem with the route, you may miss the airport.
Only following Dongshen flight 330 is the best choice.
"Although he is not far from the airport, at this speed, if he finds that the airport wants to slow down again, it may be too late. By then, the descent speed will be too fast..."
Another instructor shook his head slightly and said no more.
Indeed, doing so will cause the descent to be too rapid, but it is also the only option.
Otherwise, when the fuel is exhausted, the plane will stall and the danger will be even greater.
If the descent speed is too fast, the danger can be minimized if operated properly.
Speculating that the J-X-9 fighter jet might be about to run out of fuel, everyone who had been relieved once again became worried.
At an altitude of 1,000 meters, Qin Xiao rose slightly while staring at the altimeter and speedometer while looking in all directions to find the airport in the shortest possible time.
"Come on, otherwise I will have to dive and land."
Behind the J-X-9 fighter, Dongshen flight 330, which had been following, was sweating when it saw the J-X-9 fighter suddenly rising in altitude.
The deputy on the side was already sweating profusely. He was so anxious that he almost flew out and told the J-X-9 fighter that he was almost at the airport and should drop altitude.
"Captain, why hasn't he descended? If he doesn't descend, it will be too late." The deputy said anxiously.
The captain said helplessly: "He wanted to, too, but he didn't dare to descend until he saw the captain. Once he ran out of fuel, if he had the height, he could at least glide by, but if he didn't even have the height by then, , even the possibility of gliding is gone.”
The deputy was stunned upon hearing this.
Although he graduated from an aviation school, there are some things that cannot be learned in an aviation school.
The captain's words opened his eyes, like an enlightenment.
"As expected of our air force pilots, they are so awesome."
"Awesome? It's not just awesome. Didn't you hear what was said at the airport before? The person driving this fighter plane is a student who has not graduated from the academy." The captain said angrily and looked at the people around him. The deputy, comparing one person to another, makes people angry.
The deputy has already graduated two years ago and has been following the machine for two years. He still has little experience and no ability to deal with emergencies at all.
Look at the fighter plane in front. It is still piloted by students who have not yet graduated, but they already have the experience and skills of veteran pilots.
"Is there any way to notify the other party that they are approaching the airport?"
The captain is also thinking of a solution.
Yes, but it's too dangerous.
He drove the passenger plane and accelerated to the vicinity of the J-X-9 fighter to give a warning, using the intelligence of the other fighter's pilot. He believed that the other party would understand.
But if the passenger plane accelerates, landing will be a problem.
There were more than 300 people on a passenger plane. As the captain, he did not dare to take such a big risk.
Just as he was having a headache, the captain looked up and found that the fighter plane that had been rising suddenly suddenly started to lose altitude. His expression changed and he murmured: "Isn't it because the fuel has been exhausted?"
"Or have you discovered the location of the airport?"
The captain was more inclined to the first guess, and the second possibility was too small. The location of 137 is still a bit far away from the airport. No matter how good the eyesight of the Air Force pilots are, it is unlikely that they can detect an airport nearly ten kilometers away from such a distance.
"If we really run out of gas, it will be dangerous!"
The captain quickly contacted the airport: "Tower, that fighter plane is descending early. I guess it may be that the fuel is exhausted and the fighter plane cannot maintain altitude. It is now taxiing. The airport needs to prepare early."
"Out of gas?"
The captain's words immediately frightened the tower controller into a cold sweat, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva. He quickly informed the person in charge of the airport and the Toshin Air Force Military Flight Command College of the news.
At the airport, the emergency plan has been activated. Several fire trucks have been on standby for a long time. The outermost runway has been completely cleared. In the entire airport, except for the passenger planes near the terminal, almost no one can be seen elsewhere.
"You must hold on! The Dongshen Air Force is the best. We believe you can land safely." The captain was already praying in his heart.
He understands very well how much it costs to train an excellent pilot, especially when the opponent is still a student and is already such a monster.
For such a fighter pilot, to put it bluntly, he is considered an ace pilot in reserve.
If his wings really broke while he was still a student, it would be a loss for the entire Dongshen.
Unbeknownst to everyone, the reason why Qin Dao dropped in altitude was not only because he ran out of fuel, but also because he, with his mechanical affinity, had already seen the airport in the distance.
Qin Xiao was relieved when he discovered the location of the airport.
At an altitude of 2,000 meters, gliding rapidly, the little remaining fuel prevented the J-X-9 fighter from falling too fast.
10000*!
9000*!
5000*!
3000*!
When it was only 3 kilometers away from the airport, the J-X-9 fighter jet had already dropped to an altitude of only 800 meters.
Completely out of fuel!
Taxiing speed 450.
This speed is a bit fast. .
