空中惊魂———生手成功驾机着陆
Harrison
folows
each
of
Morgans
instructions
and
is
now
turning
the
plane
back
to
the
airport
to
make
his
approach
to
the
Runway
10L.
Harrison
throttles
back(减速)
and
lines
up
the
runway,
which
is
3
miles
away.
The
radar
(雷达)
room
is
quiet;
everyone
looks
at
the
radar
screens,
watching
this
final
approach.
“Your
speed
looks
fine,”
Morgan
tels
Harrison.
“As
you
get
closer,
the
runway
wil
get
wider.
And
once
it
gets
realy
wide,
I
want
you
to
pul
the
power
back
to
you
and
also
pul
back
on
the
controls.”
“Hey!
I
dont
know
how
to
use
the
brakes
(制动器).
What
do
I
do
when
I
land?”
“When
you
get
to
the
ground,
just
put
your
feet
on
the
top
of
the
pedals(踏板)
and
apply
a
bit
of
pressure,”
Morgan
quickly
adds.
“Gentle!
Be
very
gentle
when
you
press
on
the
pedals.”
As
the
Cessna
nears
the
airport,
Morgan
reads
out
the
planes
altitude
to
Harrison,
“600
feet
...500
feet
...400
feet
...Youre
doing
great!”
Harrison,
now
1
mile
from
landing,
goes
down
to
300
feet
and
is
on
target
to
land
on
Runway
10L.
The
airports
radar
cannot
pick
up
planes
under
300
feet,
and
November
333
Lima
Delta
disappears
from
Morgans
screen.
“Are
you
stil
there?”
Morgan
shouts.
Ten
seconds
of
silence
folow.
Morgan
swalows(吞
咽)
deeply
as
he
and
the
other
controlers
in
the
blacked-out
radar
room
stare
at
the
blank
radar
screens.
Three
seconds
...four
seconds
...five
seconds
...six
seconds
...Nothing.
Seven
seconds
...eight
seconds
...nine
seconds
