Chen Fei was very panicked and was restless for several days. He suspected that Li Zhan's reason for delaying the flight was him, and thought that Li Zhan wanted to replace him. He knew very well that Li Zhan had this ability, but he had no complaints.

Until Li Zhan came over, he thought he was here to inform him of the replacement, but Li Zhan asked about the use of the Su-30MKK in HNA.

After a quick summary, Chen Fei said, "HNA's Su 30 is mainly responsible for the task of striking at the sea, which began in the year when the equipment was introduced, and it is a key subject. In the past two years, the Su-30 unit of the HNA has rapidly improved its ability to strike at the sea, which has a lot to do with you, and it uses the low-altitude penetration combat method you have developed in Beiku. ”

After a change of words, he said, "However, compared with the flying leopard, the proportion of air combat subjects in the Su 30 is more." The Su-30 air combat capability is not weak, and the HNA is very short of air fighters. It should be said that there is a shortage of fighters, so Su Sanling can only be asked to carry more burdens. Ah Zhan, do you think there is something wrong with the use of Su 30? ”

A "Ah Zhan" made Li Zhan sigh in his heart, but these things are no longer serious, and the relationship between him and Chen Fei may not return to the original state of heart-to-heart.

However, this will not affect Li Zhan's work, and Beiku's two years of experience have allowed him to adjust his condition in a very short time.

He frowned and said, "There is nothing wrong, there is a shortage of planes everywhere, and it is really helpless for your HNA to use the Su-30 with high intensity, and their idea of focusing on sea attacks is very correct." But in our Air Force, I found that there are some ambiguities in the use of the Su-30. The J-16 is a replacement for the Su-30, and if we, as a test flight team, do not know the direction, it will be difficult for us to provide the troops with correct guidance on the use of tactics. ”

The sentence "Your HNA and our Air Force" made Chen Fei feel ashamed in his heart and stabilized his mind, he said, "I agree with your point of view, there are also different views within HNA on the Jian-16 aircraft. One group of people believes that it should focus on its air supremacy, while the other group believes that the aircraft should be used as a professional attack aircraft. However, there is a very important premise background, the indicators given by the army to manufacturers are based on the Su-30, that is to say, everyone may not have paid attention to the specific direction of use during the development. ”

Li Zhan nodded slightly, Chen Fei was very professional, obviously had done solid homework before, he said, "That's right, this is caused by more than ten years of inertial thinking, after all, no one thought that the fourth generation of opportunities would come out so quickly more than ten years ago, and many combat missions were carried by the same aircraft, and the development strategy of the Air Force at that time was based on territorial air defense." ”

"Now the situation has changed a lot, especially in the past ten years or so since the Jian-16 project was established, the development of the army has been almost the same every year. I think that the Air Force also arranged for us to conduct a test flight of the J-16 in the flight test institute, which shows that the Air Force is aware of the problem. ”

After thinking about it, Li Zhan said, "I plan to ask my superiors to make some changes to the flight plan, remove some test flights of conventional subjects, and the content of those test flights is actually the same as that of the test flight institute, I don't think there is any need to do duplicate work, and the test flight institute is more professional." ”

He put a request report in his hand on the table, and said when Chen Fei picked it up and looked at it, "I want to focus on the actual combat flight, and the acceptance test flight is not our strong point." You look at the plan, sign it if you agree, and if you don't agree, you will meet and discuss it. ”

Chen Fei represents HNA, and although it is a test flight led by the Air Force, HNA's attitude is also very important. If Chen Fei did not sign the request report, then Li Zhan's submission would only represent his personal opinion and not the opinion of the entire test flight team. The difference is very big because there are two branches of the military involved.

After reading the request report, Chen Fei did not hesitate to take out the signature pen and sign his name on the right side of Li Zhan's name, "I agree." It makes more sense to concentrate on the all-important test flight section than a hodgepodge. ”

This made Li Zhan a little surprised, and said, "Do you want to ask your superiors to be safe?" ”

"No, you can't be wrong." Chen Fei said.

Li Zhan didn't say anything more, picked up the document and got up, and said, "Let's fly tomorrow." ”

Seeing Li Zhan leaving, Chen Fei wanted to stop him several times to talk, but finally gave up. He could see that Li Zhan's attitude was obvious - to talk less or no about things outside of work. The relationship between gentlemen and gentlemen made Chen Fei lament,

But soon he suddenly came back to his senses, Li Zhan just said that he would fly tomorrow, what does this mean?

It means that Li Zhan is sure that his superiors will definitely approve the adjustment of the flight plan. The superior of the test flight team was the air division. Chen Fei was a little stunned, maybe Li Zhan's status in the Air Force was higher than he imagined. Although he carried the rank of lieutenant colonel regiment, he couldn't give birth to the thoughts of a superior officer in the face of Li Zhan, not only because he felt guilty about Li Zhan......

How did Li Zhan suggest adjusting the test flight plan in the report? He was ruthless, cut all the regular subjects, and focused all his time on the actual combat test flight section. When he was in Beiku, he had already carried out a considerable part of the basic flight test subjects, plus the flight test institute had a more complete envelope test flight for the performance of the fighter, so there was no need to waste time and resources.

How to understand the actual combat test flight, to put it bluntly, is how to use the 1616 J-16 on the active fighter, and it is used in general. If the active fighter is a professional department doctor, then the 1616 J-16 is a general practitioner in the emergency department. Only in this way can the actual combat performance of the fighter be fully flown out, and only then can we know what kind of work this aircraft is actually most suitable for!

Li Zhan even suggested in the report for instructions that the renovated runway of the Zhongnan Station should be fully used to carry out short take-off and landing test flights, and perhaps one day in the future, the J-16 will have a carrier-based version, which will be carried on a large nuclear-powered aircraft carrier to cruise around the world to safeguard the country's overseas interests. Wouldn't it be nice to do some research in advance if you can?

Whether the test flight plan can be adjusted or not, it is necessary to discuss with Hainan Airlines. It can be seen that Li Zhan's proposal to conduct a short take-off and landing test flight is aimed at HNA, otherwise it is difficult to say whether the proposal will be adopted.

Li Zhan was determined to fly the No. 1616 J-16 thoroughly, so at the end of the request report, he put forward a proposal to "increase the allocation of spare aviation materials" to cope with the ultra-high-intensity sortie rate that could be encountered.

There was no bump, and the air division quickly unified with HNA and approved the new test flight plan that night, but did not give a positive reply to Li Zhan's suggestion of "increasing the allocation of spare aviation materials......
