Great Power Fighting Falcon

It takes the world's best athletes about ten seconds to run 100 meters, but the J-15 only takes two seconds to run 100 meters.

The arresting cable system can completely stop a fighter plane traveling at 230 kilometers per hour in 2-3 seconds. If it cannot do this, the fighter plane will crash into the sea.

Although it was a simulated flight deck, Li Zhan knew very well that the thick red line a hundred meters in front of the arresting cable represented the edge of the deck. If the fighter failed to stop within the red line, it meant that the landing failed and the fighter crashed into the sea.

Of course, he has not yet reached the stage of actual combat. The first thing he has to do is to use the tail hook to hook the correct blocking rope, not the first or fourth, but the second. Even hooking up to the third line can feel unsatisfactory.

"Standard glide line, hold it!" Shi Moying confirmed the 588's glide trajectory from the landing radar. There was no need to issue adjustment instructions. As long as the pilot maintained this attitude, the "landing" would be perfect.

Li Zhan stole a trick - he stared at the position of the optical landing assist system to judge his position.

The optical landing assist system is usually used at night and consists of two major parts. Two inverted "T" style light strips on the suspended platform on the left side of the runway, with four yellow luminous panels in the middle, and the left side of the ship building on the right side of the runway. A series of marking lights on the outer wall allow pilots to judge the relative position of the fighter aircraft and the landing area.

Generally speaking, when landing on a ship and the guidance of the fighter jet is handed over to the deck landing signalman, the pilot usually passively accepts the instructions. The glide angle, flap position, speed, etc. can all be followed. . Therefore, many people often say that the failure of a ship is not the fault of the pilot, and this is probably the reason.

But in fact, the pilot always plays the most critical role, even if the landing signalman provides sufficient and accurate data.

Ignoring the influence of crosswinds at all, Li Zhan must also know the flight parameters of the entire landing and landing. In the final analysis, the pilot must analyze the specific situation of his position through his own movements. .

The daytime takeoff and landing optical assist system was not activated, but this did not prevent Li Zhan from judging his position changes by observing the position of the indicator light group with the naked eye.

He found it not as difficult as he thought.

At this time, Shi Moying also believed that Li Zhan was very likely to become the first quasi-flying shark to hook the correct blocking line on the first real aircraft landing. The correct blocking line generally refers to the second and third lines. In the past two years, when the Flying Shark training has gone from scratch, only a few pilots hooked the arresting rope when they landed for the first time, and they were all the first and fourth lines. There has never been a student who was able to hook the correct blocking rope in the first real aircraft landing.

Now it seems that Mr. Chen's student is going to set a record.

However, Shi Moying always believed that there was a lot of luck involved. The weather report at this time was almost perfect. The stable headwind was very conducive to the landing of the fighter plane, and the crosswind speed was almost zero. It can be said that Li Zhan is in an excellent objective environment, and his excellent flying skills are fully reflected when executing the commanded actions.

"Five-eight-eight, hold on, your posture is good." Shi Moying couldn't help but remind Li Zhan again. Of course, he really hoped for such a perfect debut, which would be a stimulus to other students.

"clear."

Li Zhan turned his head and looked at the simulated ship building, rapidly calculating the relationship between the descent rate, glide angle and speed in his mind.

No. 588 J-15 descended steadily like a martial arts master as light as a swallow. Many people watched nervously. For everyone, every takeoff and landing is worth observing with 120,000 points of attention. Officers, soldiers, and scientific researchers The eyes of the staff were filled with a burning desire for knowledge.

The two tires of the rear landing gear gently rubbed between the second and third blocking cables. The tail hook accurately hooked the second blocking cable, and the simulated blocking cable broke immediately. Li Zhan quickly maximized the thrust and adjusted the flaps to the climbing position, constantly and gently pulling the lever to control the transition of the fighter plane from landing to takeoff.

The "touching the ship" like a dragonfly touching the water, and the movements like floating on the water are simply impeccable.

Shi Moying couldn't help but clapped her hands: "Okay! Very good! Very standard landing action!"

He asked the staff officer beside him urgently, "Check whether the second blocking cable is hooked. I saw that the second blocking cable was broken."

"Commander, this is the second simulated blocking rope. The photo will be out soon." The staff officer said with a smile and couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

Li Zhan's first ups and downs were completed perfectly.

He still has to fly six simulated landing maneuvers, and then glide and land normally, which is considered a training sortie. A training sortie includes a ski-jump takeoff and seven simulated landings. The instructor team thought that he had no problem before getting on the real arresting rope for a real landing.

The staff officer said, "Commander, Major Li should be able to launch the next sortie."

"It's not that simple." Shi Moying pointed at the No. 588 J-15 fighter that climbed up and started flying around again, and said, "This time the conditions are very good, there is no wind, the airflow is stable, there is a lot of luck, and there are six simulations. When it comes to landing on a ship, the standard is to hit it all seven times. Do you think he can hit it all on the first try?"

Shi Moying smiled and said to Old Chen, "Mr. Chen, what do you think?"

Old Chentou chuckled and said, "Maybe this guy can really give us a surprise."

"It can definitely be done," the staff officer said immediately.

Do Shi Moying and his assistant staff really think so?

It's obviously impossible.

It is not impossible to practice Grand Slam for the first time, but Shi Moying and the assistant staff do not believe it. The more people experience it, the less they believe it, just as middle-aged people usually don’t believe in love. The assistant staff officer chose to switch to the ground handling profession after being eliminated. He turned out to be a leader among pilots. What kind of blow would make him switch to the ground handling profession, whether actively or passively? In fact, he can use his imagination.

But why do they say that?

Because Lao Chentou was nearby, and the pilots undergoing practical training were Lao Chentou's students. The assistant staff officer was more obvious because he knew less about Li Zhan than Shi Moying. The reason why he ignored it and expressed his firm belief that Li Zhan could win a Grand Slam was entirely for the joy of Mr. Chen Tou.

Regardless of the position of the chief instructor of Fei Shark, Chen Zhengwei is the confirmed political commissar of the Fei Shark Corps, and is the same leader as the commander. Anyone in front of him will subconsciously have the thought of "making the commander happy".

Therefore, neither Shi Moying nor the assistant staff officer, including other staff, had ever thought of the possibility that such a pilot could fly a Grand Slam in his first practical operation, because this possibility was almost impossible. possible. Once, twice, three or even four times, everyone believes it is possible. After all, Li Zhan has shown very strong strength.

So everyone believes that Li Zhan's performance in his first real-air training will not be bad, but they also don't believe that Li Zhan can fly a Grand Slam.

If Chen Fei were at the scene, he would definitely jump up and shout: "Li Zhan will win! Who dares to bet if I am the banker!"

It is a pity that no one at the Fertile Land Flight Training Base knows about the amazing feat Li Zhan did not long ago in the No. 1616 J-16.

"The second time, 588, wind direction 270, three meters per second, landing plan No. 3." Shi Moying said to Li Zhan after 588 joined the landing route for the second time.

Each landing plan contains different data instructions. The pilot only needs to adjust the attitude of the fighter aircraft according to the instructions from the flight control tower, which is a passive execution of landing instructions. If an objective situation arises that is not in either plan, the flight control tower will report detailed data to the pilot, such as where the flaps should be.

There was no wind just now, but now it is a west wind of three meters per second, which corresponds to the No. 3 landing plan. Li Zhan completed the adjustment of the flight attitude with a few simple movements. After confirming that it was correct, he replied to the tower, and then followed the instructions and deck landing step by step. The commander contacted, and then the action was taken to block the landing of the ship.

No. 588 J-15 touched the ground for the second time. The tail hook hooked the second arresting cable, and the simulated arresting cable was pulled up again. Then, almost like the first time, it glided on the runway for dozens of meters and then pulled up the recovery cable. fly.

"Oh, it's the second one again." The staff officer smiled slightly in surprise when he received the news from the on-site target reporter.

Shi Moying was also a little surprised, "It's the second one again, Mr. Chen, Comrade Li Zhan is very good."

He was indeed impressed. The wind conditions were very good the first time, but now it was a little more difficult. There was a three-meter crosswind. During the landing process, the pilot had to constantly push the rudder slightly to keep the fighter aircraft in the prescribed attitude. This It’s a test of technique.

Of course, the pilots who can be selected into the Flying Sharks are among the best, and such a request is not difficult for them. However, on this premise, it is not simple to ensure that the tail hook hooks the second blocking cable, which means that the landing attitude and position are almost exactly the same as the previous time. Real aircraft flight is neither a picture operation nor a computer simulation. There are many factors that need to be considered, and there are also many factors that can affect the flight attitude of a fighter aircraft. Many influencing factors cannot be completely handled by the flight control tower or the landing commander. More often, the pilot's experience and skills are relied on to eliminate small errors that may occur at any time through control.

It is obviously the same set of movements, but some people do it very well and some people do it unsatisfactory, so the "human" factor comes to the fore. This is one of the reasons why Feishak's selection is so strict.

"Hey, he seems to be speeding up." The staff officer said suddenly.

Shi Moying quickly looked over and saw that the flight speed of J-15 No. 588 increased significantly after it was pulled up again. It was obvious that the pilot did this deliberately. He was a little unsure about Li Zhan's thoughts. He must have relaxed his vigilance after two successes and felt that landing on the ship was nothing more than that, so he planned to speed up the training process, right?

If this is the case, then Li Zhan, the pilot, has a very bad character.

To become a qualified flying shark, you must not only have excellent flying skills but also have a strong psychological quality. To put it simply, you must not be decadent when you are hit, and you must not be proud of some achievements. No matter what happens, you must be steady, steady, steady. .

Shi Moying originally wanted to ask Old Chen or the pilot directly, but the pilot did not violate the regulations, so he gave up the idea. It's just that his impression of Li Zhan has changed a little, but it's understandable. He has eight first-class meritorious service at such a young age. It's the time when the spring breeze is triumphant and the horseshoe disease is coming. It's normal for a newcomer to want to do something different, but this At the same time, it also revealed the pilot's rather steady character.

He really got part of his analysis right. Li Zhan in the sky has never been a stable person. From "South China Sea Mad Dog" to "Western Warrior", his flying style is extremely simple and rough, his flying language is extremely rude, and his flying skills are extremely superb. The label is obvious on his body, so it would be better to talk to him about stability than to persuade prostitutes to behave.

Not pulling the Sonics is already very conservative!

However, Li Zhan's idea was not like this at this time. He just thought that if in actual combat, the returning fighters lined up to land on the ship, there is no doubt that the shorter the landing time, the better. If the landing time of each fighter plane can be By saving two or three seconds, a regiment of twenty-four fighters can save nearly a minute.

What is the concept of one minute?

A fighter plane can be released, a ship's air defense deployment can be completed, a fighter plane can be recovered, and two hundred words can be typed.

Li Zhan's actual combat qualities were far stronger than others imagined. Not counting his experience in the air gunboat unit, from the year he joined the Second Division, whether it was training or combat readiness, he did the most and emphasized the most. It’s “in a practical context.” The Beiku Eagle Falcon is the most obvious example - both in terms of actual combat training and actual combat awareness, they are at the forefront of the entire army.

Therefore, after he hooked the second blocking rope twice when he landed on the ship, he already had a preliminary understanding and grasp. Moreover, landing on the ship was really not a rare thing for him.

So he consciously added some practical factors into it, increased the airspeed, and tried his best to save the time required for landing where possible.

Soon the third landing came.

He hooked the second blocking rope.

At this time, Shi Moying and others will be more surprised than the second time, and like the second time, they will secretly think that it won't be so easy next time, and maybe they will fail next time.

Then soon the fourth landing came, and Li Zhan hooked the second blocking rope.

The first four movements of the seven landing training were full marks, which has set a record since the beginning of the Flying Shark training. You must know that this is the first real aircraft training!

At this time, Shi Moying and others thought to themselves, Damn, this luck is so good that it will explode. Yes, I still think that there is luck on my side, so the weather conditions are very stable. Then everyone will subconsciously think, this is already good, and it should fail the fifth time.

When Li Zhan hooked the second blocking rope for the fifth time, the flight control tower couldn't help but boil, and the relevant department personnel on the ground of the simulation deck also waved their fists in the sky with excitement.

Shi Moying's face changed, and she called Li Zhan excitedly: "Fifty-eight-eight, keep it up! Keep it up! Two more times and it will be a grand slam!"

At this time, everyone hopes that Li Zhan will continue to have good luck and win a Grand Slam, and everyone will be praised!
