Most pilots are able to successfully land a ship at night. The key to the problem is the success rate. The same standard as landing a ship during the day is like shooting a gun. You can’t prove anything if you hit the full circle with one shot, but if you can maintain it every time
Above the excellent level, it means you really have the level of an excellent shooter.
Zhang Xueyang and three others are now facing such a problem. The success rate has never met the requirements. Unstable performance will have a great impact. Failure to land on a ship at night usually causes a huge disaster. The U.S. Navy’s carrier-based fighter force
It makes sense that the management of night training is so strict, and there are bloody lessons.
Even accidents such as ground crew being sucked into the air intake have occurred, which is unimaginable during daytime operations.
At 23:15 at night, the night landing training exploration team conducted the last sortie training. Before boarding the plane, Li Zhan held another meeting with everyone, emphasized several key points, and finally reminded, "Today's intensity is relatively in place.
Especially you, Lao Zhang, you have been doing this all day long, your physical and mental strength have reached the limit, you must pay attention to safety, but you can't break through the barrier by force!"
"Hahaha!" I couldn't hold it back.
All kidding aside, everyone will pay attention once they sit in the cockpit. Everyone knows how heavy a fighter plane worth hundreds of millions of dollars is. Except for Li Zhan, most pilots will not encounter a single special danger in their entire flying career, but even if
A bump or bump will seriously affect the aircraft's attendance rate.
Only by ensuring the attendance rate of fighter planes can the amount of training be guaranteed.
Zhang Xueyang said, "Lao Li, please don't do it anymore. You have the largest amount of training among us. Please guide us."
"Okay." Li Zhan agreed simply.
The landing commander position at the port side optical landing assist system position is held by pilots in turn. On the one hand, the pilots need to understand the work of this position to become familiar with the entire landing work. On the other hand, the pilots know the pilots best.
Able to provide targeted guidance.
For example, Li Zhan understands everyone's flying style and habits, so he can give targeted guidance instructions when guiding. Tang Leilei is accustomed to leaning to the left, and he likes to adjust slowly from the left, while Cao Youfei usually
Add landing routes at longer distances to aim at the landing area in advance.
In the dark night, Zhang Xueyang first took off in a ski jump with the No. 512 J-15 fighter jet, followed by Cao Youfei and Shi Leilei at intervals of ten minutes.
When the two engines were running at full power, the tail nozzle opened to the maximum, and a light blue tail flame was emitted, which hit the spoiler and spread upward. The fighter accelerated to take-off speed in a short distance of 100 meters, and was gliding.
With the help of the jump deck, sufficient lift for takeoff is obtained in advance.
The fighter aircraft accelerated its climb with both engines still in afterburner mode. It was not until it climbed to the specified altitude and reached the specified airspeed that the pilot turned off the afterburner and allowed the engines to run normally.
Thirty seconds after Cao Xuefei took off, Zhang Xueyang had circled back and entered the landing route. Li Zhan held a microphone similar to a landline phone to his ear and kept giving Zhang Xueyang adjustment instructions. The assistants around him were paying attention to the landing radar.
The specific position data of the fighter plane is reported in real time. In addition, an assistant uses night vision goggles to continuously observe the fighter plane to ensure that the appearance, landing gear, landing hook, etc. are normal.
Tang Leile was already waiting in the cockpit of the fighter jet. After Zhang Xueyang blocked the landing of the ship, the ground crew quickly directed him to leave the runway. Then Tang Leile entered the take-off position and took off. Zhang Xueyang was waiting aside. After Cao Xueyang blocked the landing of the ship, he could take off for the second time.
At such a frequency, three people and three fighter planes formed a tight-knit real machine to block the landing process.
There is a ten-minute gap between takeoff and landing, and the ultimate goal is to achieve a two-minute gap.
Tang Leilei was the last one to land on the ship in the first sortie. Sometimes some things are very strange. Tang Leilei clearly knew that his most obvious problem was his habitual deviation to the left, but he failed to solve this problem well after repeated training.
It took a lot of effort to adjust it at the last moment, and finally completed a relatively perfect landing.
Li Zhan ran to the parking bay, called the three people over, and said, "Old Cao, you still don't grasp the height accurately enough. When you entered the landing route, you deliberately pursued a left-right balance and easily neglected the flight height. You have to be careful
Think about it.”
"Understood." Cao Fufei nodded solemnly.
Li Zhan pointed at Tang Leilei and said, "Xiao Tang, if you do this, don't enter from the left, instead enter the landing route from the right. There is no problem with Lao Zhang. It just depends on when you can break through the bottleneck and consolidate the effect."
"Understood, I will understand it better." Zhang Xueyang nodded heavily.
After looking at the time, Li Zhan said, "Strike while the iron is hot, fly one more sortie, and then take it back to rest."
Prepare for a new flight of training immediately.
This time, Tang Leilei took off first. He joined the landing route from the right side of the "mothership" and suddenly had a new feeling. He basically got it in place in one go, adjusted the flight height slightly, and successfully hooked the second
With a blocking rope, he landed steadily.
He couldn't help but laugh and said, "It feels completely different, it's amazing!"
"From quantitative changes to qualitative changes, sometimes a small adjustment is needed." Li Zhan was very pleased. Tang Leilei must have found a way.
Cao Goufei, who was the second to take off, was under pressure. He couldn't be worse than Tang Leilei, a "new recruit". He held back his energy and steadily controlled the fighter plane according to standard movements, but in the end he heard Li Zhan shouting: "Pull"
Take off and go around!" He quickly fired two full-power engines to pull the fighter jet to perform an escape go-around. When the fighter jet climbed back up, it was only when he looked back that he realized something was wrong - he had deviated from two blocking cables.
If you don't go around, it will hook the fourth arresting rope. This is not allowed.
"Old Cao, don't be anxious. Make sure it's in place before making the next move." Li Zhan reminded Cao Yufei, "Check the angle of your entry."
"Understood, let's do it again." Cao Fufei quickly calmed down.
On the tower, Moran'an held up a low-light night vision goggle to observe Cao's maneuvers. During the approach stage, he encouraged him, "It's okay to keep your attitude steady."
"clear!"
The command was transferred to the landing commander. Li Zhan found that Cao's go-around was very standard this time. He nodded slightly and said, "Keep your posture low and pay attention to your speed."
"clear!"
Cao Youfei tightened his grip on the control stick. It wasn't until a strong impact and strong resistance came that he realized that he had landed perfectly this time. He quickly pulled the throttle lever back to the end and stepped on the brakes.
"Very beautiful!" Li Zhan nodded with satisfaction. Cao Goufei's landing this time can be said to be textbook, very accurate.
"May 2nd is ready to take off." The tower issued the order.
The dispatcher quickly guided Cao Zuofei back to the parking stand. The dispatcher on the other side also directed the J-15 No. 512 to slide out of the parking stand and slowly enter the take-off position. The preparations for the new flight's takeoff were carried out quickly. Zhang Xueyang flew again
After one sortie, tonight's night landing training came to an end.
There is no need to give Zhang Xueyang more instructions and guidance. Guidance from others can no longer significantly improve his performance. It mainly relies on his personal experience.
"Old Li, let me try to hook the third blocking rope." Zhang Xueyang made the request.
Li Zhan said, "Okay, the third blocking rope."
Undoubtedly, Zhang Xueyang has raised his own requirements, and it is obviously more difficult to designate a certain blocking rope for himself. He hopes to find a way to break through the bottleneck through such training, or in other words, this is a way to break through the bottleneck.
His movements were very proficient and he looked very confident. The landing commander basically had nothing to correct. Li Zhan just gave Zhang Xueyang feedback according to the time points to let him know the real-time status between the fighter plane and the "mothership"
Position change.
"Okay, very good, hold on." Li Zhan couldn't help but nodded, watching the No. 512 J-15 roaring in, landing like a huge bird, and the rear landing gear was like a big bird that had already been prepared for contact.
Ground ready feet.
No. 512 J-15 is one of the earliest models. Zhang Xueyang has been flying this fighter since the day he arrived at Feisha. There are several pilots who use this fighter with him. Generally speaking, unless it is someone like Li Zhan
Except for top-level pilots, other pilots will not use a certain fighter plane fixedly, and most of the time they will constantly make adjustments.
The smaller the fighter number, the longer the use time and the greater the strength.
In the eyes of experienced pilots, to judge the technical level of other pilots, you only need to look at their takeoffs and landings, especially their landings. In the eyes of outsiders, airplanes take off and land the same way, but in the eyes of industry insiders,
A simple rise and fall can reflect very rich information.
The first ups and downs of Li Zhan's troops made the leader of the Second Division who was commanding from the tower immediately make an evaluation that "this new pilot is of good quality".
Some people hesitate when landing. This is a sign of lack of confidence. Lack of confidence is mostly due to insufficient skills.
Zhang Xueyang's crisp and clear movements reflect strong self-confidence, indicating that his level is only one step away from the top level.
"Okay, very good." Li Zhan couldn't help but cheer when he saw Zhang Xueyang accurately hooked the third blocking rope. He believed that Zhang Xueyang would break through the bottleneck in the next few days.
Unexpected surge.
Li Zhan saw the nose of J-15 fighter No. 512 suddenly raised high!
At this moment, Li Zhan shouted to Zhang Xueyang almost out of conditioned reflex: "Eject! Lao Zhang, eject quickly!"
The accident happened very suddenly. The fighter plane that had hooked the blocking rope suddenly raised its nose sharply. The pilot had almost no time to deal with it. Zhang Xueyang was not afraid. To be precise, he had no time to be afraid in just two or three seconds.
. He subconsciously pushed the joystick to push down the nose of the plane. Only by doing so could he save the fighter plane. Li Zhan's instructions came very timely, making Zhang Xueyang instantly realize what should be done in the current situation.
He pulled the ejection ring hard, the canopy was blown open, and the rocket ejection seat popped out. However, the attitude of the fighter plane was that the nose was raised, and when the seat ejected, it was not vertical, but tilted backwards.
Come out. It was almost impossible to see where Zhang Xueyang had ejected in the night. Zhang Xueyang landed just after the parachute opened, and the ejection seat had not had time to separate. The whole process happened in just two seconds, and many people could not even
react to.
No. 512 J-15 lost control. The nose of the aircraft rose more than 90 degrees, then tilted. It continued to move forward under the action of inertia, and then hit the ground heavily diagonally. The aviation fuel was ignited and a fire quickly formed. Emergency rescue
The team took action quickly...
Li Zhan ran back. From the moment he gave the order, his eyes were fixed on the cockpit and he saw Zhang Xueyang ejecting backwards. He held the individual radio in his hand and loudly issued the order with red glasses: "Come over with the medical team!
Get the medical team here! Quick!"
"The medical team sets off! Get to the vice president's position! Hurry!" Moran'an gave the order to the waiting medical team almost at the same time.
Several ambulances screamed and rushed past.
Li Zhan found Zhang Xueyang. He was still on the ejection seat and fell sideways on the ground. He was motionless. There was blood on his face and his left leg was irregularly bent. He stood there and watched without daring to move.
He couldn't believe it. He shouted loudly: "Old Zhang! Wake up! Zhang Xueyang! Wake up! Stop sleeping and there is still training! Wake up!"
The medical staff quickly arrived to deal with it. Morenan arrived late and said to the staff officer beside him, "Activate the emergency plan and prepare for evacuation!"
"Yes!" The staff officer quickly went to implement it and activated the emergency medical plan.
"He's unconscious, has multiple fractures, and has internal bleeding. Commander, he must be sent to a military hospital immediately. We can't handle it here!" The colonel on duty made a decisive decision after a quick examination.
Moran'an loudly ordered: "Make every effort to ensure evacuation!"
Li Zhan suddenly recovered and was still alive!
As he strode over, he loudly ordered: "Clear the road to the military hospital! Send a guard company to control the intersection! I want the ambulance to get to the military hospital as quickly as possible! Let the military hospital prepare for first aid! I
Ask them to come up with a rescue plan before the ambulance arrives!"
"Yes!" Two or three staff officers immediately ran away and implemented the instructions one by one.
When Zhang Xueyang was carried into the ambulance, the entire security company was dispatched. More than a dozen Land Cruisers and two Ivecos rushed out of the base with sirens blaring, and walked along the road to the military hospital, dropping them off at every intersection.
A few soldiers quickly controlled the intersection. A few minutes later, the ambulance drove out with its lights flashing. Pei Lei drove the Land Cruiser commuter car with Li Zhan on board and drove ahead. The ambulance was followed by another backup vehicle.
ambulance.
The shortest route through the military hospital is through Baida Crossing in the New District. There is Baida Plaza, the largest commercial complex in the area. There is a larger small square in front of the square. An anniversary late-night open-air concert is being held there tonight.
, tens of thousands of young people gathered, and the traffic police department implemented controls at the intersection to ensure smooth traffic.
Three Land Cruisers carrying Guard Company soldiers came directly over and stopped in the middle of the opposite lanes at the east-west intersection and North Intersection respectively, directly blocking the flow of traffic. The tall Guard Company soldiers hung their necks on their necks.
He jumped out of the car with his automatic rifle, stood directly in the middle of the intersection, pointed at the moving vehicle, and shouted loudly to stop!
More than a dozen police officers who were maintaining traffic order at the intersection were stunned. When they saw that soldiers from the army had directly taken over control of the road, they suddenly realized that the police officer leading the team hurried over to ask.
The person in charge was an eighteen-year-old soldier. The soldier directly pushed the deputy section police officer aside: "Ask our company commander! Get out of the way!"
The police officer leading the team did not dare to lose his temper at all. He quickly looked around for the commander of the security company in charge. He finally figured out the situation and immediately arranged his men to assist the troops in controlling traffic according to the company commander's instructions.
Not long after, a Land Cruiser came rushing from the south at a high speed of more than 140 kilometers per hour, with red and blue warning lights flashing at the center grille and a snail-style horn blaring rapidly. Then I saw the car behind it.
Two ambulances rushed over at the same high speed.
The traffic police were all stupid. This was in the urban area, and the speed actually reached more than 140 kilometers!
The soldiers in the ambulance must have been very nervous.
