Descent from an altitude of 10,000 meters [MTL] (Completed)

Chapter 1 Air China Flight 416

On September 15, 20xx, Friday, it was a very ordinary day at Guangzhou Baiyun Airport. After checking blankets, earphones and other items, the crew of Air China Flight 1332 made sure everything was ready and waited for the crew to come in.

"I'm actually flying with Brother Jia today. I really want to post it on Moments." The new flight attendant, Yang Feifei, was very excited. After speaking, he turned on the front camera of his mobile phone and tidied up his bangs.

The purser next to her, Cheng Xuan, had experienced everything, and had already seen the crew at the pre-departure preparation meeting, so she didn't feel anything unusual. Takeoff, landing, Guangzhou to Beijing, Beijing to Guangzhou, the same route, repeated thousands of times. It's not any different except that today's captain is an Air China celebrity.

"You're going to take a selfie," Cheng Xuan teased Yang Feifei, "Then take a picture after the flight."

Yang Feifei nodded: "That's for sure, Sister Xuan, work comes first."

After a while, the crew came up, the captain Chen Jiayu, and the co-pilot Xu Hengchuan. The two greeted the flight attendants politely.

Actually, about Chen Jiayu, there are many rumors inside Air China.

Three years ago, he caught up with the most serious aviation accident in domestic civil aviation in the past five years. When the Air China Flight 416 he was driving was refueling at the Soekarno-Hatta Airport in Jakarta, Indonesia, impurities were mixed into the fuel due to construction problems in the airport's aviation fuel pipeline, which in turn caused the fuel supply valve to suddenly get stuck when the plane was at cruising altitude. At high altitude, both engines suffered serious failures at the same time. At that time, Chen Jiayu had just been promoted to captain for more than a year. When he shouted mayday at a place 50 nautical miles away from Hong Kong International Airport, the news reached the ears of all civil aviation personnel in the mainland almost simultaneously.

Yang Feifei was still at the University of Aeronautics and Technology at the time, so she only found out about it after the fact, but Cheng Xuan had the impression. She was still working as a flight attendant at China Eastern Airlines at the time, and she was on vacation when she was changing shifts. He was at another flight attendant sister's house and watched Chen Jiayu's life-and-death emergency landing at Hong Kong Airport on TV.

Originally, the terminal was the plane in Shanghai, but whether it could successfully rush to land or make an emergency landing at an airport with a runway is still unknown. If the sea made an emergency landing, most of the 238 people on board would never survive. It is not for nothing that US Airways Captain Sully's forced landing in the Hudson River is called a miracle. But that was the calm Hudson River, not the stormy sea. The waves in the South China Sea are two meters high. The moment they touch the sea level, they can tear the plane apart or cause it to roll over, crashing the plane and killing people in minutes.

The most serious thing is that one of his engines stalled because the fuel could not be delivered, and although he was able to slowly increase the thrust to 70% after ten minutes of groping, the thrust of the other engine was completely stuck at 70% after that. % can't get it back. Although it was able to provide enough thrust to allow the plane to fly back to Hong Kong and avoid a disastrous sea landing, it also directly caused him to be unable to slow down at all when he landed.

In the end, Chen Jiayu controlled the Airbus A330 and slid onto the longest runway of Hong Kong International Airport at a dangerous speed 100 knots faster than the normal approach speed. Slam on the brakes. In the end, the plane slid almost the entire runway, barely stopping at a place only 200 meters away from the beach at the end of the runway. The Hong Kong media broadcast the whole process of this thrilling landing, calling it the "Miracle No. 416". Some people even said that this was the most successful emergency landing of domestic civil aviation in the past ten years. There were no casualties from the crew to the passengers, the most serious being the abrasions. After evacuating all the passengers, Chen Jiayu and his co-pilot Chang Bin came out of the cockpit. Almost at the moment of jumping out, the tires caught fire due to high temperature and excessive friction when they landed. This successful escape scene, enough to enter the annals of history, was captured by reporters who rushed to the scene, and was broadcast countless times in domestic and foreign media.
