你看過飛機降落不用輪子的嗎?沒有的話…不要轉台,你馬上就會看到了。
12月5日下午3點剛過,這架私人飛機正要飛入美國加州棕櫚泉國際機場(Palm Springs International Airport)。但轉瞬間,危險降臨,因為飛機竟然無法放下起落架!
飛機駕駛訴諸多年的飛行經驗,決定採用「機腹著陸」,沒錯,這方法名符其實。駕駛必須非常輕緩地靠近柏油路面,在跑道上滑行,直到飛機自行停下來。
危險在於,著陸時機身可能過熱,產生火花,甚至可能讓飛機爆炸!
幸好,這位駕駛確實能掌控全局,讓小飛機輕緩接地。機上一名乘客與駕駛都平安下機,且奇蹟似地毫髮無傷。
飛機冒險降落後,緊急小組連忙趕到現場,處理後續可能的危險狀況。在一小時內,跑道便重新開放使用了。
目前尚不清楚飛機起落架為何失效。如果有更多像這樣的駕駛,該有多好!
英文原文:
Have you ever seen a plane land...without wheels?! Well, keep watching, because you just might.
This private plane was flying into Palm Springs International Airport just past 3pm on December 5th. But things got a little dicey, fast. When the pilot attempted to deploy the landing gear, it failed.
Diving into his years of training, the pilot goes for a ‘belly landing’, and it’s exactly what it sounds like.
The plane has to land ever so gently by getting close to the pavement, to then slide down the runway until it stops on its own.
The danger is, upon landing, the plane could heat up and create sparks, which could then cause the plane to blow up.
Luckily, it appears this captain knew what he was doing, and the small plane was able to ease onto the ground.
Both the pilot and his lone passenger made it out of the air alive, and miraculously, escaped uninjured.
Emergency crews rushed to the scene to handle any potential hazards after the daring landing, and within an hour of the ordeal, the runway was again being used for other flights.
There’s no word yet on what exactly caused the landing gear to fail. Hope they make more pilot’s like that guy.
