Chapter 351 The Charm of Night Flight
Tonight's night flight training is very simple.
You just need to drive the plane and fly in the sky according to the established route for about an hour.
Then just successfully land the plane on the runway.
So the three JJ-7s circled Bengbu twice before preparing to return.
The first thing to do when returning from a night flight is to find the airport.
The runway is visible.
What?
Don’t modern airplanes have blind landing systems?
Since we already have a blind landing system.
Does the pilot still need to visually see the runway before landing?
In fact, the blind landing system is not that "magical" and can only play a supporting role at most.
No matter how intelligent and advanced the aircraft is when landing, the pilot must visually find the airport runway before landing.
The blind landing system can only play a certain auxiliary role in situations such as foggy days or nights when visibility is poor.
If the pilot relies entirely on the blind landing system.
That would be irresponsible to oneself, to the unit (troops, airlines), and to everyone else.
No matter how advanced technology is.
The most reliable thing is still the human eyes.
not to mention.
The JJ-7 is not a truly modern aircraft.
There is no such thing as blind landing.
"Falcon, you can turn two, California condor can turn four, and donkey of Guizhou, you are last."
In the communication channel.
Liang Zhenghong's voice sounded.
Whether it is JJ-7 or JJ-8, when landing, they have to make several turns and circles around the airport.
The purpose of this is to allow pilots to visually monitor the runway location.
These are the so-called ‘three sides’ and ‘five sides’.
Because when the plane is landing, the pilot can hardly look down from the nose of the plane, and can only look down from the sides sideways.
As the plane circles and turns around the airport, the pilot can determine the runway location multiple times.
It is almost exactly the same as the landing procedure of a commercial airliner.
But if it is a more advanced third-generation machine, fourth-generation machine, etc.
Then it doesn't have to be so complicated.
Just land directly.
"Falcon received."
"California condors received."
In the headphones.
The voices of Liu Jingdong and Wang Xianyun sounded one after another.
Jiang Chen glanced at the flashing pilot light on the lower right, and immediately replied, "Donkey of Guizhou, received."
Wait until the pilot light in the distance completes the turn.
He also pushed the lever slightly forward.
While descending altitude, the aircraft also began to slow down.
Then step on the left rudder with your left foot and turn the control lever to the left.
The aircraft deflected slightly to the left, completing a left turn.
After completing the turn, he was just above and to the right of the airport runway.
Three more turns need to be completed to align with the airport runway.
further away.
The city of BB is brightly lit.
This historic ‘Pearl City’ seems to have been reborn.
top of head.
The bright moonlight is soft.
Below!
Thousands of houses are brightly lit.
So flying in the night sky is like rafting in the Milky Way. This is the charm of night flights.
Although you take a certain risk, you can also enjoy the most beautiful scenery.
"I saw a point of view when I was surfing the Internet before. The simplest and most direct way to tell whether the economic situation of a country or region is good or not is to fly a plane in the sky and look at the brightness of the lights on the ground to get the answer." Liu Yun also suddenly sighed with emotion.
Jiang Chen smiled and said, "You don't need to fly around, just satellite pictures."
"There is a satellite picture on the Internet. It is a satellite picture of the Korean Peninsula taken at night. It is pitch black on the North Side, and the lights on the South Side are bright. The contrast is very strong."
"Our country is about the same." Liu Yun said with emotion, "The southeastern coastal areas are no less developed than those developed countries, but the western region is much worse."
"Old Liu, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Take your time. It's amazing that we can develop to where we are today in just a few decades." Jiang Chen said.
Liu Yun laughed and scolded, "You're preaching to me instead, which is Tiangang."
"But I'm just sighing. The country is indeed developing at a rapid pace now. If nothing else, the new equipment of the navy, army and air force are like dumplings. Without economic feedback, how can there be so much new equipment?"
"So your generation has caught up with a good time."
"It's not like us. When we were in the army, we could fly the J-7E. It was like celebrating the New Year."
"When you are demobilized in a few years, it is estimated that our army has already begun to change its equipment, such as J-10b/c, J-11b, J-16, J-20, and even the legendary J-31"
< br>
"Tsk, tsk, just thinking about it makes me drool."
"Especially your kid, you are already a member of the Wang Hai Brigade. It is said that the Wang Hai Brigade is the first unit of our army equipped with J-20 Veyron. You graduated just in time to change the equipment. ”
"Mom, what's wrong with you? How come your life is so good that you can fly J-20 just after graduation?"
The more Liu Yun talked, the angrier he became.
He wanted to clenched his fists and punch Jiang Chen twice.
Jiang Chen grinned silently.
It’s no secret that the ‘Wang Hai Brigade’ has switched to J-20 Veyron.
And the time was in 2015 or 2016.
Even if Jiang Chen's application to skip a grade is approved by the college, he will graduate in July 2015 at the earliest.
After that, he will receive another year of base training.
The earliest time to leave the army was in 2016.
Just in time for the ‘Wang Hai Brigade’ to change into J-20.
Um.
Sure enough, graduating early is not as good as graduating by chance.
"I heard from my master that after they have been busy for a while, the 'Wang Hai Brigade' will indeed start modification training and prepare to accept the J-20 on a small scale. However, during this period, the little Japanese and the Americans were dancing very hard. The earliest I have to wait until next year.”
Jiang Chen said, "It is not that simple for the army to modify a new weapon, especially the newly developed high-end weapons. They need to be trial-installed first and can only be promoted on a large scale after accumulating experience."
"So it is estimated that it will have to wait until after 2017 for the actual deployment and formation of combat effectiveness."
"But I heard that Sister Shiliu has begun to deploy troops on a small scale. I don't know if it is true or not."
Liu Yun was stunned, "Sister Pomegranate?"
"J-16." Jiang Chen said.
"When did the J-16 get the nickname 'Sister Pomegranate'?" Liu Yun asked.
in his impression.
‘Sister Pomegranate’ is a delicate flower.
It is inappropriate to describe a tall and macho man like the J-16.
"The J-16 has a 'Sixteen' character, so it is nicknamed 'Sister Pomegranate' by netizens." Jiang Chen explained with a smile.
Liu Yun
All right.
On thinking.
You have to be a netizen.
"Donkey in Guizhou, stop talking nonsense." Liang Zhenghong's voice suddenly sounded on the communication channel, "You can transfer to the fourth rotation."
Jiang Chen quickly calmed down and said, "Copy that."
In the night.
The J-7 quickly completed a turn.
One minute later.
The second turn has also been completed.
Jiang Chen immediately released the landing gear.
Then he gently pushed the operating lever to complete the last turn.
When the plane's nose turned completely, Jiang Chen happened to see two rows of runway lights shining brightly in the distance below.
Like a beacon, it pointed the way for him.
