Chapter 530 Successfully tamed the fighter

..At this time, it is more than 300 kilometers away from the airport.51o.

"017, report the course, speed, altitude." said the tower..

"The course is 0-1-3, the speed is 550, the height is 4,000, and the others are normal." Omar said.

"Prepare to release oil in the air," the tower ordered.

"yes."

In order to meet the needs of cruising to the Strait of Hormuz, before taking off, the Phantom 4000 fighter was equipped with two sub-fuel tanks. Now, it is only 300 kilometers away from the airport, and the fuel in the sub-fuel tank has not been consumed yet, let alone the full fuel in the aircraft.

Now, there is only one Phantom 4000 engine left, not far from the airport, so there is no need for so much fuel. In order to prevent accidents, Phantom 4000 needs to release too much fuel in the air.

This was a total waste. As Omar turned on the oil discharge switch, a white mist-like bright band was formed at the lower part of the plane, which was the trace of the evaporation of aviation kerosene in the sky.

As a fighter, an indispensable device is air fuel discharge. The maximum take-off weight of all fighters is greater than the maximum landing weight. If the aircraft requires an immediate landing due to a failure or other reasons after taking off at full load, the landing weight at this time will exceed the maximum landing weight of the aircraft. If a forced landing is made, the landing gear will be in danger of breaking. In order to reduce the weight of the aircraft and achieve the weight of safe landing, air fuel discharge must be carried out.

The most tragic thing is that the US Navy's F-14 fighter jets, if they are not launched after taking off with the Immortal missile, will be a burden. If they want to land on the aircraft carrier safely, an indispensable link is to throw the Immortal birds into the sea, which is a huge waste.

"The secondary fuel tank has been cleared and put into the sea. The main fuel tank is draining oil, and now, there is still 50% of the fuel." Omar said.

As the weight of the aircraft was reduced, the Phantom 4000 driven by an engine began to appear lighter. Its height no longer dropped, and the wings had enough lift to hold the fighter.

"Twenty percent of the fuel left," Omar said.

"End the air release."

"Yes." After turning off the air fuel drain switch, Omar turned his head and looked behind him. The white light belt behind the plane was very spectacular, it was all money!

However, now he has no time to feel sorry for those things. Being able to save tens of millions of dollars in his hand is his greatest victory.

Now, there is only one engine working Phantom 4000. It is quite affordable and he is very sure to drive the fighter back.

Now, the airport is still one hundred kilometers away and the height is 4,000.

But, a few seconds later, another shining red light completely shattered his dream.

"Reported, the right engine of 017 is shut down."

The engines on the left and right sides were actually turned off. You know, in theory, the probability of this is very small, which made Omar a little nervous.

The huge roar behind him was completely gone and he lost his power. The last hundred kilometers would be a thrilling flight that made Omar.

The ground personnel became even more nervous.

"On the airport, prepare for air ignition." The ground commander finally issued this order.

When the fighter is on the ground, the ignition is mainly due to the external power supply vehicle, while in the air, it is due to the impact of the engine to achieve the conditions required for engine startup. At an altitude of only three thousand meters and speeds below 45, there is no possibility of restarting the engine.

The time left for Omar is only a few seconds, because the plane is still descending rapidly.

"Yes, prepare for air ignition." Omar calmed down and began to turn various switches according to the advance plan.

Starting in the air also takes a great risk, because this will waste the already precious electricity on the plane. Omar has turned off all the equipment that is not used on the plane. If the engine can be started, the situation will be alleviated. If it is not started, it will only make the injury worse.

"Prepare is complete."

"First click on the right, then click on the left."

According to the emergency plan provided by France, this dual-engine Phantom 4000, in the most complex case where the two-engine all air-stops, the air-ignition should first click the right and then the left.

"Yes." Omar pressed the switch, and then, hoping that there would be a roar from behind.

That's great! He felt excited and heard the roar from behind. Then, he saw the engine rotation meter in front of him and began to have numbers.

The right engine was successfully ignited! Then, the left engine was also successfully ignited.

Omar felt like he was being teased. He usually cared about this fighter jet, so how could he make such a joke with him?

"Reported, the engine started successfully in 017."

Hearing the sound from the radio, the ground tower commander was relieved. The engine was successfully started, so you will be very confident when you fly back.

Omar held the driving pole and watched as the sea outside the cockpit had disappeared, he entered the sky above the land.

Finally flew back!

Omar was under so many tests this day. While seeing hope, the two engines behind him stopped operating again.

The engine has stopped again!

"Report, 017 engine stops." Omar shouted again.

"From the airport direction, prepare for an emergency landing. The situation is critical and you can parachute at any time." The ground personnel ordered.

The engine stopped again, but could not be started again. In that case, all the precious electricity of the aircraft would be consumed. There must be something wrong with those two engines. It would be better to fly back and find out the reason. If not, let the pilot parachuted. Between saving the fighter and the pilot, the pilot must be the first. If the aircraft falls, you can buy it again. The pilot who spends huge amounts of money to train is the precious wealth of the Iraqi Air Force.

However, Omar did not want to parachute. He was so close to the airport. He had the ability to fly the fighter jets back! His Excellency Kusai's trust and the promotion of the Air Force Commander allowed him to fly the best-performing fighter jets in the entire Iraqi Air Force. He had no reason to drop such fighter jets, and in this case, he would not raise his head again.

Moreover, the plane's failure this time is very strange. If you fly back, you can find out the cause. Otherwise, this most advanced plane will probably have to wait for the experts to investigate. It will definitely be grounded until the exact reason is found. If the fighter plane falls, the reason may not come out for a year or two, and those colleagues will not scold him to death!

Fly back! Omar firmly believes in his heart.

As the engine stops, not only electricity, but also precious oil pressure is lost. If the oil pressure is not enough, the landing gear will not be put down. It is even more dangerous to use the airplane's belly to make a forced landing. Although he has thrown away the auxiliary fuel tank, although there is no weapon mounted on the hanging point under the belly, there are still missiles hanging under the wings! When using the belly to make landing, the wings may touch the ground at any time.

At that time, there will be a fire. His emergency landing will bury himself in the fire and cause great damage to the airport.

"017 can make a forced landing, and request a forced landing to the airport." Omar shouted firmly in the radio.

"Yes." The commander agreed to his request.

All the airports were moved, the main runway was vacated, the airspace was cleaned up, and even civil aviation aircraft were transferred to the Baghdad Airport.

At the same time, under the guidance of the radar, Omar gradually approached the airport.

When he was five kilometers away from the airport, Omar began to put down his landing gear.

"The landing gear has been put on," Omar said in the radio.

Commander reminds: "You can now descend, lower the height normally, and prepare to enter the stable downward line."

"yes."

"Did you see the runway?"

"I've seen the runway."

“On the right track.”

“It’s already corrected.”

"Pay attention to the direction, lower the height, and prepare to release the speed plate."

Omar looked at the running track closer and closer, and his mind became calmer, because this was the most critical moment and the most dangerous moment.

Slide down, then slide down, two circuits of the four-degree fed-speed system have already started to light up red lights, but they are still accepting their normal instructions, but the oil pressure has begun to drop, and the operation of the rudder surface is no longer very flexible.

"Squeak!" The rear wheel began to touch the ground.

"Now you can put an umbrella, check speed, and pay attention to direction."

At the tail of the Phantom 4000 fighter, the speed reduction parachute was successfully released, and the fighter began to slow down.

The firefighters on the ground were staring at the fighter jet that made the Iraqi Air Force proud with eager eyes, hoping that it could be successfully tamed by Omar and return to the ground obediently.

Now, the main landing gear of the fighter jet has touched the ground and the situation is improving.

At this time, the mouths of the people on the ground suddenly opened wide. When the landing gear in front of the Phantom 4000 was about to hit the ground, it suddenly started to recycle itself! What's going on?

Due to insufficient pressure on the hydraulic system, it was not locked when the front landing gear was released. Therefore, according to the preset situation, the front landing gear began to be retracted by itself. However, due to insufficient pressure, the retracting process was even longer.

"Brake, brake with all your strength!" the commander ordered.

Omar didn't know that the front landing gear was slowly being closed. He completely obeyed the commander's order and started brake with all his might. Due to insufficient hydraulic pressure, the brakes were not as violent as before. However, the fuselage still felt the vibration. Under the transmission of this vibration, the front landing gear was actually put down again!

Finally, the front landing gear also landed on the ground, and the fighter plane was still slid on the runway, and its speed was slowly decreasing.

At the end of the runway, I finally stopped. To be continued...
