"Zhizhi..."
There was a sound of the propeller's last few struggles before coming to a halt.
The Tachikawa IK-95C trainer aircraft, like the Stearman PT-17 bi-wing trainer aircraft, both have two-blade propellers, and the sound they make when parked is very harsh.
"Dip! Dip! Dip! Dip..."
The oil pressure indicator light came on and an alarm sounded. The oil pressure indicator needle quickly slipped and dropped to zero in an instant.
The engine speedometer also dropped to zero in an instant.
The booster pressure gauge drops to zero.
The needle on the oil temperature gauge climbed straight up.
Throttle valve failed.
The boost zone adjustment knob fails.
Immediately, the head of the 95c trainer sank and it plunged diagonally toward the ground.
The incident was so sudden that Zhou Zhihan was caught off guard.
Sure enough, in a person's life, no one can control what will happen in the next second.
The Tachikawa IK-95C trainer aircraft, which had been flying steadily just now with smooth power output, suddenly lost power. The entire aircraft's forward posture paused for a moment, and then it looked like a big bird with broken wings, with its head stretched out and its tail tilted. Falling towards the ground
Zhou Zhihan was shocked and calm. His first reaction was that black smoke was coming out of the nose of the plane. Ninety percent of it was an engine failure, which meant that the plane had lost the power to rise.
This is the first time I encountered such an emergency.
what to do?
Zhou Zhihan's back was instantly soaked with sweat.
As long as you are a pilot, from the day you fly, from the moment you take off, you must always be mentally prepared for the aircraft to malfunction in the air.
I usually study what kind of malfunctions may suddenly occur on an aircraft in the air, how to quickly determine what kind of malfunction it is, and how to deal with the most appropriate emergency response.
But no matter how they plan, how they mentally rehearse, or how they study cases, when the engine suddenly loses power thousands of meters in the air, 90% of pilots will have their heads exploded and they will be covered in cold sweat.
Pilots who do not change their composure in the face of death only exist in fiction.
The danger came too quickly.
A few seconds ago I was immersed in a bikini-like cloud, and a few seconds later I was hit on the head.
Caught off guard!
Suddenly, the scenes of various air crashes flashed in Zhou Zhihan's mind like a movie.
He reached for the engine start button.
There was no response, and the remaining bit of luck was shattered.
The aircraft had completely lost its upward momentum.
The altimeter is not broken, it is still beating, showing the height of the aircraft from the ground at this time, and it is constantly declining:
1987 meters,
1928 meters,
1850 meters,
The Tachikawa IK-95C trainer aircraft is falling diagonally at a speed of more than 50 meters per second, and the nose is still pointing straight to the ground. Once it is formed, the falling speed will be faster.
1760 meters.
In desperation, Zhou Zhihan pulled the joystick back hard with one hand.
This is the only way, first slow down the speed of the fall and come up with corresponding countermeasures.
The nose of the aircraft was reluctantly raised slightly, and the angle of descent was a little higher, but the speed of descent was too fast. Without the control stick of the booster, it felt like there was a thousand kilograms of weight at this time.
1740 meters.
The speed of the plane's fall accelerated, but because the nose of the plane was slightly raised, the angle of the fall changed, and the height of the plane's fall was reduced. This is why during World War II, when a trainer aircraft crashed after an in-flight engine failure, the joystick was pulled up. The four huge upper and lower wings are used to raise the nose of the aircraft and glide forward, using the pull-rod operation method of exchanging length for height.
This is also the reason why biplanes are the first choice for instructors to lead students to the sky. If an accident occurs in the air during a period of time, the survival rate of instructors and students is much higher than that of monoplanes.
When it comes to pulling the control stick, raising the wings, and gliding through the air, the pilot's core strength is crucial.
Zhou Zhihan held the control column with both hands, took his feet off the rudder, stepped on the bottom of the cabin, straightened his waist, and pulled back with all his strength with both arms.
"stand up……"
…
Zhou Zhihan felt that his vision changed from looking at the ground, to rapidly rising and rising, and then he could see the rolling hills not far away.
The nose of the plane was pulled up, but it was still below the horizontal line of the tail. The speed of the crash did not change, but the plane crashed diagonally instead of falling straight down.
1620 meters,
1600 meters,
The aircraft was finally recovered from the vertical position. Before Zhou Zhihan could take a breath, he heard a muffled "bang" and flames spurted out from under the nose of the aircraft. The flames were pulled close to the fuselage by the strong wind and headed towards After burning.
"The trainer aircraft malfunctioned and caught fire, and all power was lost. In this case, the host has no possibility of restarting. The host has three options at the moment. One, you can choose to abandon the aircraft immediately and parachute to escape. Second, you can choose the time and location to parachute to escape. Third, the host can also choose to make an emergency landing."
Hearing the sound of the system, Zhou Zhihan suddenly had a backbone and felt a little calmer.
Although he can be considered a veteran in flight time, this was the first time he faced a sudden mid-air engine failure and combustion.
Parachute?
Before time travel, he often saw videos of Gu Liang playing skydiving on Douyin Kuaishou, as well as Gu Liang playing bungee jumping, and even Gu Liang flying in a wing suit.
It makes people greedy just looking at it.
But playing these requires money, and you need to spend money on them. For a person with no money like him, these are out of reach. He can only watch how other people play in the video, and then do it himself At most, I just go to disco once in my life.
Now, he has to parachute from a Tachikawa IK-95C trainer aircraft that is falling at high speed at an altitude of more than 1,000 meters. This is both exciting and tense.
If you make a video and post it on Douyin or Kuaishou, you will probably have tens of millions of fans.
The Tachikawa IK-95C trainer aircraft is like a big bird that has lost power, sliding down to the ground in a high-altitude slope.
1530 meters
1520 meters
1510 meters
Suddenly, Zhou Zhihan remembered that he did not have a parachute on him.
My whole body broke out in cold sweat again!
Only then did Zhou Zhihan feel that he was very courageous. He didn't bring a parachute during the first few flights. What was the difference between this and riding a knife blade with his bare buttocks on?
"Brother System, where is the parachute?" Zhou Zhihan's voice changed.
"Didn't the equipment that the host bought for the first time include a helmet, flight suit, parachute, flying glasses, and tactical gloves?"
Zhou Zhihan pulled the control column hard, turned around and slipped around the cabin: "No! There is no parachute!"
"All your equipment is in the watch on your left wrist. As long as the host says to the watch, open the parachute, when parachuting, the parachute will naturally open on your back."
Zhou Zhihan could see the flying glasses and tactical gloves. Although the flying helmet and protective clothing were worn on his body, he could not see but feel them. Even the parachute was not something he could feel at all.
With the parachute in hand, Zhou Zhihan felt more calm, but he was still shocked: "Then what should I do now?"
"No one can help the host now. The host can only stay calm and steady, and decide for himself whether to parachute immediately, choose an opportunity to parachute, or choose an emergency landing.
Now, this system can't do anything about it, everything can only rely on the host itself.
If the host chooses to parachute, he only needs to open the hatch bolt, lift the hatch and push it to the rear, then stand on the cockpit seat, jump high up, wait for the body to detach from the fuselage, open the parachute, and escape. "
