"What do I think?" Xu Xian was stunned for a moment: "They definitely can't land on the aircraft carrier. It's too dangerous. Where are they now? If possible, let them land back at Longjiang Airport."

The director of the deck command room smiled: "What if they don't have enough fuel?"

"Then let Longjiang Airport send tankers for aerial refueling. The situation on the aircraft carrier is unknown now, so we cannot rush to take off for refueling," Xu Xian said.

Under normal circumstances, the refueling here is not a dedicated tanker, but a C18 with an auxiliary fuel tank, which is used for partner refueling after takeoff. However, no one knows which aircraft the screw fell off from, and there is still one on the flight deck.

Are there any other screws or other objects? No one can guarantee this until the inspection is completed.

Therefore, it is impossible for the C18 on the aircraft carrier to take off with auxiliary fuel tanks for refueling. Longjiang Airport can only send tanker aircraft to respond. The current location of the aircraft carrier strike group is not too far from Longjiang Airport, so it should still be possible in time.

In addition, since the amount of fuel that may be needed this time is relatively large, the technology of buddy refueling cannot be used. Buddy refueling is mostly used to refill companions in emergencies, and its refueling capacity is still far less than that of professional refueling machines.

Therefore, in order to ensure sufficient refueling, special tankers can only be dispatched. Xu Xian remembered that domestic aerial refueling technology is quite mature, and there is no need to worry about tanker problems.

Xu Xian thought for a while and continued: "The runway at Longjiang Airport is quite long and can provide space for pilots to land softly. However, Longjiang Airport still needs to be notified to prepare emergency plans."

The runways of most military airports are not very long. However, Longjiang Airport, as the shore base airport of the South Ship, needs to provide the take-off and landing of large transport aircraft, so the runways are longer and wider than those of ordinary military airports, which is convenient for pilots.

Reduce ground load.

The method to reduce the ground load is not difficult. It is to use a long flat-floating process to evenly and slowly discharge the energy of the aircraft. Usually according to this method, the landing load can be controlled at about 1.1G, which is already quite high.

Small ground load.

However, the only disadvantage of this method is that the horizontal drift distance is too long, and it cannot be used on short and narrow runways at ordinary military airports, otherwise there is a risk of overshooting the runway head.

Fortunately, the runway at Longjiang Airport is long enough for pilots to perform level drift operations.

"What if the runway length of Longjiang Airport is not enough? What should you do?" The director of the deck control room suddenly asked a question that was obviously not a normal procedure. It seemed like he was taking a test for Xu Xian.

"It's nothing." Xu Xian didn't care much: "There are two large airports along the coast, both with runways over 4,500 meters. If it really comes to that, just go to the civil airport."

Under normal circumstances, military aircraft will not land at civil aviation airports. Even if they encounter special circumstances, the first choice is to return to military airports. They mainly land at civil aviation airports, especially civilian airports with large traffic. Mainly when military aircraft encounter special circumstances, they will land at civil aviation airports.

Landing at a civilian airport may have some negative social impacts. Unless there is really no other way, you will generally not choose a civilian airport to make an alternate landing.

In Xu Xian's view, if the runway length of Longjiang Airport is not enough, then the only option is to land at two large civil airports along the coast. Those two civil airports are both large airports, with runway lengths exceeding 4,000

Five hundred meters is enough for the pilot to struggle.

"You really don't care about the impact at all." The director of the deck command room smiled and said: "Yes, you can both raise problems and solve problems, which is very good. Xu Xian of the first squadron, right? This time the matter is over, I

I will repay your merits to the higher ups."

"Is there a reward for this?" Xu Xian's mouth was tilted to the back of his ears, which was something he didn't expect.

The director of the deck control room did not hide anything: "We did not consider the situation you mentioned. If something happens because of this, it will be a big problem. Do you want a reward for this? However, it is probably a verbal reward, so you also

Don’t expect too much.”

"Just a verbal commendation?" Xu Xian was disappointed. That was indeed of no use.

He is an extreme pragmatist. There is no use in verbal praise. It is better to give him two days off.

After leaving the deck command room, Xu Xian looked at the time again. He must have been late for the press conference. Today's mission was over, so he simply went back to take a nap.

...

Just when Xu Xian was sleeping in the dormitory, he suddenly heard a loud shout in his ears. Xu Xian almost jumped up in fright. When he turned around, he found that the captain Xiao Nian had arrived at Xu Xian at some unknown time.

Show the bedside.

The crew's resting area on the ship was not spacious. When Xu Xian sat up, a little of the top of his head would touch the bottom of the upper bunk. Moreover, Xiao Nian stood on the aisle and it was hard for him to get down.

, could only sit on the bed and look at Xiao Nian.

When the superior came, Xu Xian could only sit on the bed, and he was embarrassed. Fortunately, Xiao Nian also realized that he was blocking Xu Xian's way to get out of bed, and waved his hand: "Forget it, you don't have to get down.

, I came here to tell you something, a good thing!"

"Good thing!" Xu Xian became more energetic.

Xiao Nian smiled and said: "You have been to the deck command room, right? And you made some suggestions to the director of the command room? Well, that suggestion was very useful. Just now, three C18s landed at Longjiang Airport. After inspection, it was found that one of them

The landing gear is somewhat deformed, but the screw is missing. Your suggestions are very good. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to tell what the big problem was."

Speaking of this Xiao Nian, I was still covered in cold sweat. The three planes that landed at Longjiang Airport all landed softly, regardless of how long they were. The runway at Longjiang Airport was long enough for the pilots to operate.

But even such a gentle landing still caused the landing gear to deform. If it were a solid landing with a high ground load on an aircraft carrier, the landing gear would be damaged on the spot at the moment of landing, and the consequences would be disastrous.

The director of the deck command room was also straightforward and reported Xu Xian's coming and suggestions directly. So, in this incident, Xu Xian had indeed made a contribution.

Xu Xian suddenly became excited: "Captain Xiao... does that mean there is a reward?"

"There must be a reward!" Xiao Nian laughed loudly: "After research and decision by superiors, your task of cleaning the deck is over, and you can resume flying tomorrow."

Xu Xian took a breath: "That's it?"

"That's it, do you think it's not enough?" Xiao Nian said with a smile.

"I..." Xu Xian's mouth twitched a few times: "That's enough, that's enough. Thank you organization."

Xu Xian was developing normally and completed the task of cleaning the deck the day after tomorrow. As a result, the reward given to him by the superiors was one day early. What a "huge" reward!

"But I see you don't seem very happy?"

Xu Xian immediately pretended to be overjoyed: "I'm not happy, I'm just secretly happy!"

"You are having fun in your heart, right?" Xiao Nian couldn't help laughing: "Then you can continue to have fun under the covers."

After watching Xiao Nian leave, Xu Xian dove into bed and let out bursts of happy "choking" sounds.

...

The next morning, it was still dark in the sky, and Xu Xian and Qin Qing had already arrived in the briefing room.

This time it was a two-person formation battle between Xu Xian and Qin Qing. The task was to simulate an attack on a radar station on an island. The task was not difficult, but the flight distance was relatively long, which tested the pilot's endurance.

In this operation, Qin Qing was the leader and Xu Xian was the wingman. This distribution was normal. After all, Qin Qing was still more senior in the navy than Xu Xian.

Xu Xian didn't care who was the lead plane and who was the wingman, or how the superiors assigned them, he just accepted it.

Before setting off, Xu Xian went to the toilet several times to ensure that he would not be in the embarrassing situation of having to go to the toilet during the mission. Compared with Xu Xian's adequate "drainage" preparations, Qin Qing seemed much calmer.

.

Just yesterday, the D903 aircraft of Qingyuan Group successfully completed the first flight from Jianling Airport to Dianyun Airport. Xu Xian also dug out the video of the press conference and watched it in the evening. There were some routines at the meeting.

There was nothing special about the questions. Xu Xian looked at them for a while and then closed them all.

After Qingyuan Group's D903 aircraft completes its maiden flight, it will be rolled out across the country. It seems that starting today, all airlines that have purchased D903 aircraft will begin to use the new aircraft to perform flight missions. At least so far,

The momentum of D903 is quite good.

Originally, Xu Xian was afraid that some envious people would disrupt the press conference, but now it seems that he is overly worried. The operation of domestically produced large aircraft is the general trend. Anyone who dares to play tricks on this will definitely not get good results.

. He saw the series of clearly planned questions at the press conference of the first flight, and he knew that everything would go smoothly after that.

After the first flight of D903 was completed, a big stone fell in Xu Xian's heart. Now we have to wait and see when the supersonic prototype of SST-001 will be released. I heard from Ye Qing that Qingyuan Group has completed the small bypass.

Compared with the finishing work of the turbojet engine, it means that the future of supersonic prototypes does not seem to be so confusing.

The relieved Xu Xian breathed a sigh of relief, and his originally depressed mood due to the "surprising" reward from his superiors was slightly relieved.

After finishing the flight briefing with Qin Qing, Xu Xian went to the toilet for the last time, then picked up the equipment and headed to the airport.

When they arrived below the plane, the maintenance staff was waiting below as usual. When they saw Xu Xian, they greeted him warmly.

"Two Flamingo anti-radiation missiles and six MK41 aerial bombs, please count them." The maintenance officer said: "This aircraft underwent a routine inspection yesterday and there is no major maintenance."

With that said, the maintenance officer handed the confirmation form to Xu Xian.

Xu Xian took the order and circled the plane carefully. On the way, the flight attendant smiled and said to Xu Xian: "I really want to thank you for the screws. Without you, something big would have happened."

We are in need of a security overhaul."

Theoretically speaking, the screw came off right between the pre-flight inspection and the post-flight inspection. This cannot be detected by the maintenance inspection. However, this is a mechanical failure after all, and it can be traced to maintenance issues. If there is a big problem, the maintenance problem

The department still cannot escape its involvement.

While inspecting the aircraft, Xu Xian asked, "Did you find out why the screws fell off?"

The maintenance staff did not hide anything: "This is because our estimate of the marine environment was insufficient. The salt content in the air here is too high, and the corrosion rate of metal is much faster than usual. We are studying new maintenance plans over there, at least

In terms of frequency, it needs to be more frequent. In the final analysis, this time is considered as paying tuition."

Xu Xianyi curled his lips: "Our aircraft carrier has just started, and it is not as good as some foreign countries that have been playing with it for decades. It is understandable that there is no experience in some details."

Aircraft carrier operation is accumulated through blood and tears, rather than something you can figure out by just tapping your forehead. Some foreign military powers have decades of operational experience. This experience is reflected in many details.

The performance in this aspect is more obvious.

Just like the operating environment of an aircraft carrier, due to the presence of salt in seawater, the aircraft carrier operates in a high-salt environment all year round, and the metal corrodes much faster than usual.

"Actually, we also expected this. The maintenance frequency of carrier-based aircraft on an aircraft carrier is much higher than that of aircraft on land. But we didn't expect that it would still be unable to withstand the speed of corrosion." The maintenance staff said helplessly.

The operating environment of the aircraft carrier is different from the normal environment. The maintenance department has expected this, and has also increased the frequency of aircraft maintenance. However, they are not sure of the specific frequency to which frequency it will increase. However, from this time, the screws

From the perspective of events, it is obvious that it is not enough.

Xu Xian comforted him: "These are just accumulated experience, there is nothing we can do about it."

To be honest, even if they are all on the ocean, each area has different salt content, which causes the metal corrosion rate to also vary.
To be continued...
