The first thing to do when returning from a night flight is to find the airport and see the runway.

With the development of science and technology, despite the blessing of more and more advanced technology, even the most advanced aircraft have to find the airport runway visually when landing.

The most reliable is nothing more than the human eye.

Blind landing or something does not exist for the J-7.

Why does the J-7 have to go through several turns when landing, and visual runway position is an important purpose. The pilot had almost no downward view in the direction of the nose and could only observe from both wings. The second turn to the fourth turn allows the pilot to confirm the runway position multiple times. The same is true for civil airliners.

It's not so complicated for advanced third-generation aircraft, just drop it.

After descending to the height, when Li Zhan turned to the direction of the station, he overlooked Nangang at night, and it was bright, and even in Xixian, an underdeveloped coastal area with little industry, there was almost no darkness.

Feeling the comfort of cruising in the dark, Li Zhan couldn't help but say, "After reading an analysis, looking at the economic situation of a country or region, the easiest way is to fly a plane around at night, and you can get the answer through the brightness of the lights on the ground." ”

"No, I've seen a satellite picture before, taken at night, North Korea is dark and sloppy, South Korea is brightly lit, and the contrast is very strong." Nie Jianfeng said.

Li Zhan said with emotion, "When the economy is good, the local government should feed back to the troops, give more military funds and build more fighters, so as to avoid the bitter days of the brothers." I have visited the cockpit of the J-10, compared with ours, ours is a walk-behind tractor, and the cockpit of a luxury car is serious. ”

"Don't forget it, our division won't be equipped with villains, the logistics support is already messy enough, and it will definitely be a single model in the future." Nie Jianfeng said.

Li Zhan pouted, "Maybe it's all equipped, the flight unit needs to be changed, the logistics support must also be changed, and the comprehensive support is not better." When it comes to fighting, the enemy doesn't care what type of aircraft you can protect. ”

"That's wishful thinking, you're the devil of the villain." Nie Jianfeng said with a smile.

Li Zhan was speechless, because even he didn't believe that the Second Division would be equipped with J-10.

The top authorities have already put forward a draft of military reform, which is being extensively investigated and studied throughout the army, and it will be a matter of the next few years when it is implemented. As the first of the four major branches of the armed forces to readjust its strategic direction, the Air Force has the keenest sense of smell, and there are already rumors of the air force, and the first thing to bear the brunt of is the reform of the command structure. The reform of the troop establishment will inevitably be accompanied by the installation of new equipment.

However, for front-line pilots, everything is still far away psychologically.

At least Li Zhan is basically sure that he will be with the J-7E for a long time in the future.

"Don't talk nonsense, turn the hole, get ready to land." Sent the command of the tower Yu Chenglin.

Nie Jianfeng hurriedly replied, "Understood, eight kilometers is good, I'm on the landing route." ”

One turn, two turns, put the landing gear, and then make a turn, confirm the relative position of the attitude again, turn again, aim at the runway, the navigation lights slowly fall to the runway, the fighter whines and cines safely landed, the deceleration parachute was not released, and directly from the end of the runway into the taxiway back to the parking shed.

When it came to Li Zhan, the distance between him and Nie Jianfeng was well maintained, neither procrastinating nor leaning very tightly, and he looked like a good child.

"The landing gear is down." Li Zhan reported, and then the last turn was aimed at the runway, and the width indicators on both sides of the runway were very eye-catching. In the night flight training, there is a subject that the station is descending in a state of no light signs, simulating the situation of an airfield being attacked and losing power during wartime, which is called stimulation.

The No. 037 plane slowly descended in altitude, Li Zhan had already pulled up the nose slightly, the fighter descended steadily, and the main wheels were ready to rub towards the runway.

Li Zhan slowly closed the throttle, the engine was slow, he glanced at the altimeter, glanced at the reference outside, and accurately judged that the main wheel was within two meters of the runway surface, and when he was about to land, there was a burst of shouts on the radio: "The hole is pulled up!" Pull it up! You didn't put your front wheel down! ”

"Really?"

Li Zhan didn't panic, although Yu Chenglin's voice was the same as a ghost's scream. He didn't know that Yu Chenglin and Zhang Wei had just discussed his bad luck, and it really came true, it was strange if he didn't scream.

If you change an inexperienced pilot, eighty percent of you will push the throttle with the lever in a hurry, which is in danger of stalling. The current attitude of the aircraft is already on the edge of the flight envelope, and in the case of sudden changes, such as excessive angles of attack, such as the power does not keep up with the changing speed of the angle of attack, stalling is almost predictable. As a result, the fighter plane sits on the ground, and maybe there will be a ballet spinning circle and then the plane will be destroyed and killed.

The whole army loves the army, is a model of elite martial arts, and a meritorious hero such as a double first is not in vain.

Li Zhan still followed the attitude of the fighter plane and let the main wheel land on the ground, but there was no further operation. At this time, he changed the angle of the flaps, slowly pushed the throttle, and waited for the engine speed to come up, and the speed to come up. In other words, he followed the attitude of the fighter and completed more than 20 operations in a very short time, so that the fighter naturally transitioned from a slow-down landing attitude to a take-off state.

The runway is long enough and he doesn't worry about not having enough distance.

The fighter plane just half-raised its nose, the main wheels landed on the ground, and kept its attitude and slid forward along the runway, and the speed was getting faster and faster.

"Tower, I'll pull up the go-around, go through the field again, and look at the landing gear."

Li Zhan reported, making sure that the fighter's attitude was stable, and then decisively turned on the afterburner, the fighter roared, as if it had been kicked by someone, and Li Zhan's whole person was also pressed on the seat, pulling the lever, and the fighter left the ground in a rage.

He didn't play handsome this time, but if he didn't do it, the fighter plane would rush into the buildings in the county seat, and no one dared to guarantee that it must be a clear environment, and the runway distance would not allow him to take off normally.

Afterburner take-off is generally used for emergency take-off, and that's fine.

When the landing gear was retracted, the searchlight beam on the ground also hurriedly followed, Yu Chenglin's telescope had already been prepared, and he hurriedly looked over and saw that the rear landing gear was normally retracted, but he couldn't see the situation of the front landing gear clearly.

"Three turns in the hole, let's go through the field, I'll look at the landing gear." Yu Chenglin said.

"Understood."

On the other side, the senior soldier in charge of observing the landing gear was frightened and half frightened, if he reported that the front landing gear was not put in place a few seconds later, Li Zhan would be finished. He was also aggrieved, the light was not good at night, and the navigation lights at the nose landing gear position were not very bright, and it was not as easy as the day to confirm whether the landing gear was put down normally.

The staff on duty at the tower were all in good spirits, the emergency plan was activated, and the ambulances, fire trucks, decontamination trucks, and tractors all entered the standby position.

Landing gear failure, which is not very dangerous for Li Zhan, who has experienced many difficulties, is not on the table. After all, after falling on a plane and running off an engine, this is indeed too pediatric.

But he definitely took it seriously, because the aerodynamic layout of the J-7 really didn't help the main wheel to make a forced landing, even if it was a double delta wing.

"Prepare for the walk." Li Zhan reported.

"A hundred heights, control the speed." Yu Chenglin instructed, in order to see more clearly, deliberately let the low altitude pass through the field.

"Understood...... Hey, why is it all black? ”

After Li Zhan's voice came out of the loudspeaker, more than half of the people in the tower were confused, what does it mean that it was all black?

"Hit the street, the cockpit is powered out."
