Chapter 619: Salute, Go You!
The countdown to the ship is 15 days.
Li Zhan did not continue his flight training, and gave up his precious time to the other eight pilots, he was not on the list of eight, but there was no doubt that he was definitely going to get on the ship.
His focus was on the training of landing guides and ground crew. Each landing commander is served by the pilot in turn, and a rotation system is adopted, and this principle should not change greatly after boarding the ship. Guiding the pilots who take turns to serve as landing commanders can also improve the pilots' landing ability.
The tacit cooperation between the pilot and the landing commander can greatly improve the success rate of the landing.
On the other hand, there is the training of ground crews, although they can learn from the experience of the US military through open sources, but it takes a lot of work to transform it into their own. Have your own thinking in the process of use. This also requires training from experienced commanders.
Commander-in-Chief Zhang focused on the training of the ship, and he asked the guard staff officer to install a marching bed in the flight tower, and lived directly in the first training area. The commander-in-chief's determination swept away the low morale of the troops, and the generals were more effective than any psychological counseling.
As the deputy chief instructor in charge of the most specific work, Li Zhan didn't say anything, but he also took root in the second training area and took on the responsibility of sprint training for ground crews. In addition to Han Hongjun, there is also an old friend with him - Cheng Da of the Great Red Eagle Division.
Cheng Da is the latest batch of pilots to be selected from the Air Force, and the proportion of carrier-based fighter pilots selected from the Air Force will gradually decline until the Navy has the ability to train completely independent carrier-based pilots.
The Flying Shark troops are now making the final sprint, and before Xinfei's training has begun, Li Zhan asked Cheng Da to follow him to familiarize himself with the situation, just like Han Hongjun.
"With such a small flight deck crammed into a reinforced group of aircraft and the ground crews responsible for those aircraft, an effective flight deck work system was necessary. We refer to the experience of the US Navy, which is basically copied at the beginning, and then adjusted in the course of practice to suit our actual situation. ”
Li Zhan pointed to the aircraft maintenance and ground crew who were busy training in the second training area and said, "The two most important parts are the dispatch and take-off and landing. You look at the vests they wear, each color represents a kind of position, and when the training starts, you all have to learn, and you have to figure out the responsibilities of everyone on the flight deck. ”
:/
"Lao Li, we're not in a hurry. The training task of the army is so heavy now, you should leave us alone for now, and if there is a living faction, you should pay attention to training first. Cheng Da said.
Li Zhan nodded slightly, "You guys take a look at you first, I'll organize the training first." ”
After he went to organize the ground crew to organize the training, Cheng Da and Han Hongjun walked to the training area and stood outside, watching the training and communicating at the same time. They finally caught the last train, and it will be even more difficult to enter the Flying Shark in the future, and the Air Force will not release them easily.
"Captain Cheng, I came a few days earlier than I saw the landing of the old pilots, and I can't see how difficult it is, do you feel this way?" Han Hongjun had doubts in his heart and said.
Cheng Da nodded and said, "Yes, I feel the same." Mainly because we haven't started to get involved in this subject yet. When the take-off speed lands, the plane is smashed on the deck, which is more dangerous in terms of appearance. ”
"The old pilots call the landing of the ship an escape flight, and as soon as they find that something is wrong, they immediately pull up the go-around, and there is almost no runway to continue to run, so the plane must always maintain its take-off speed." Han Hongjun said, "But I still don't think it's very difficult." ”
Cheng Da smiled, "I won't think so when you fly once." ”
"It's not that I think it's easy to land, but I don't understand what the difficulties are, which is a bad sign for future training." Han Hongjun said in distress, glanced at Li Zhan, who was instructing the take-off assistant, and said helplessly, "The troops have had accidents one after another, and the team leader is in a very bad mood, so I don't dare to talk to him." ”
"I think he's quite emotionally stable." Cheng Da said.
Han Hongjun pointed to the sky, the weather is very good, the blue sky and white clouds, the wind direction and cloud height are very suitable for flying, but the flight training in the first training area has not yet begun, and the tense flight preparations are still ongoing. He said, "Not long ago, you heard about the accident in which the flight control failed after the plane was hooked up on the cable, right? ”
"Of course, the whole army was informed." Cheng Da said.
Han Hongjun said in a deep voice, "The pilot who had the accident is an old comrade-in-arms of the second division of the captain, and it is still unknown whether he can continue to fly after being injured, and this incident has dealt a great blow to the captain." Don't look at him as he hasn't changed much, in fact, the psychological burden is very heavy. ”
"Lao Li, alas, he carries everything by himself." Cheng Da said helplessly.
Li Zhan is actually not as fragile as they imagined, he has experienced too many joys and sorrows, life and death, and death has never left him, and he has always been by the side of other combat pilots. Since you have chosen, you will only care about the ups and downs and fight bloodily, everyone has such psychological preparations, there is nothing to say.
In order to ensure that there will be no accidents like Zhang Xueyang's in flight training, the first batch of prototypes will basically not be used for flight training, but the training of the ground crew team is more realistic.
There are two groups of ground staff in the first training area and two groups of ground staff in the second training area, all of which add up to four teams, and even then, there are still not enough qualified ground crews. The Navy has a clear plan for the development of aircraft carrier combat units, and the purpose of the first aircraft carrier has been determined - mainly for personnel training and testing tactics and tactics. The domestic aircraft carrier will be launched and delivered in strict accordance with the time node, and the best way to quickly form combat effectiveness is to wait for the ship, not the ship.
This shows how much pressure the Flying Shark troops have.
A dispatcher uses gestures to direct a J-15 to move from the parking position to the take-off position, and then hands it over to the take-off assistant, who guides the pilot to control the fighter through gestures, and other ground crews quickly prepare for take-off, including raising the spoiler and raising the baffle wheel, and after they complete the work and confirm that there is no problem, they send a gesture to the take-off assistant, and the take-off assistant tells the pilot that everything is ready through gestures, and the pilot prepares for take-off, and then tells the take-off assistant that he can take off, The take-off assistants quickly crouched down and looked up at the cockpit, the pilot gave the take-off assistant a thumbs up when the engine reached its maximum thrust, the take-off assistant pointed forward with his right hand, the wheel plate was lowered, and the fighter began to taxi and take off.
The whole process basically relies on gestures and radio conversations, of which gesture communication is the most fundamental and last resort. Radio communication is very busy during operation, and it is easy to miss or hear instructions clearly.
Li Zhan watched the personnel of various positions on the ground move like mechanical parts, and he thought of the training scene of the Second Artillery Corps launching missiles. He had seen the Second Artillery Corps' firing training under the condition of night light control, and the officers and men of each post strictly followed the operational requirements and carried out blind drills step by step, and there were dead rules on how many steps to take in which direction and how many centimeters each step should be, how far the hand should be stretched out, and how many times the turntable should be circled in which direction.
In the dark, the launch preparation time is the same as the daytime.
When careful people look at the parade formation, they may notice that in addition to the traditional aces of the three armed services honor guard, the Dalian Naval Ship Academy, and the women's militia team, there must be a foot team of the Second Artillery Corps in the team that is kicking the best steps, and their queue standards are related to the success or failure of missile launches, and they are usually very strict.
The army attaches great importance to queue training, and the common people feel that queue training is an image project, and the gap in thinking is reflected here.
After watching several rounds of training, Li Zhan always felt that the take-off assistant's gesture of giving the command "take off" was not very strong, and from the pilot's point of view, although he could get a clear meaning of the gesture, he did not have that feeling of power.
He walked to the position of take-off assistant, and the person in charge of teaching this post was a very senior ground guide of a certain navy department named Ling Wu Zesen, who was a fourth-term non-commissioned officer with 13 years of military experience. The draft reform of the non-commissioned officer system has basically not changed much, and its full implementation will be a matter of the next year or two, and the spring of non-commissioned officers is coming.
"Old Wu." Li Zhan shouted.
Wu Zesen is not old, he became a soldier at the age of eighteen, and he is only thirty-two this year.
"Vice President." Wu Zesen tugged on the ear headset.
Li Zhan said, "I always feel that the gesture of taking off is not very strong. ”
As he spoke, he squatted down, then pressed his right palm straight to the ground, and pointed forward with his palm as he jerked up, saying, "At least I didn't have that sense of sharpness when I did this, don't you think?" ”
"That's right! Vice President, a lot of people feel like this, and joked about it for a few hours that wasn't it squatting and shit and then reaching out for paper, fuck. "Wu Zesen's cultural level is not high, he is self-taught in all technical tests, and he likes to speak with foul language, gesticulating.
Li Zhan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but laugh, "In this way, I really have the sense of squatting and and reaching out for paper." This can't do it, there is no way to reflect the image of our civilized army and mighty army. ”
"This is not a joke, what people can see is the fighter plane and you ground crew exposed on the flight deck, the fighter is not handsome enough, you are not handsome enough. The Indian army is useless, and people know how to do motorcycle acrobatics to improve their image in the eyes of the people. Li Zhan said.
Wu Zesen laughed, "That's it." Now many people on the Internet are blowing the light of Wuling, saying that don't mess with 50, because you never know how many people will get off that car. Actually, these are all leftovers from the Indian army. If you want me to say, the Indian army is a super military power, and a company of motorcycles is ahead of other countries and divisions. ”
"Hey, you're bad enough, the Indian army recruited whoever provoked whom, so making such a joke." Li Zhan laughed, softened for a moment, and said, "This take-off gesture needs to be changed, what do you think?" ”
Wu Zesen seemed to have studied it a long time ago, he immediately squatted, but when he squatted down, he pulled a right lunge, his right knee towards the take-off direction, and said while lowering the posture down, "Lunge, lower the posture in combination with the actual situation, press the deck in front of you with your left hand, which is a support point, facing the pilot, your right hand naturally droops down to support the deck, and while turning your head in the direction of take-off, you raise your right palm and stretch your fingertips forward, and make a forward gesture." I'll do it consistently. ”
As he spoke, Wu Zesen did it neatly, turning his head to the right and suddenly raising his right hand to the right, which made Li Zhan's eyes light up, so he said, "It's a little interesting, it has an internal taste." ”
The lunge and left-hand support form a stable triangular support posture, and at the same time, the purpose of depressing the posture is also achieved. When the fighter plane slides out, the strong air flow of the engine will create a strong backward wind, and the low posture can ensure safety. The most important thing is to turn the head to the right and raise the right hand to point forward, which is very powerful, and the right hand to raise the front finger is very similar to raising a gun to shoot, which has the meaning of fighting.
"Go, gather all the take-off assistants, try this move one by one, and perfect it." Li Zhan made a decision immediately without the slightest hesitation.
"Yes!" Wu Zesen immediately got up and turned his head and yelled to assemble the take-off assistant.
Eight take-off assistants quickly came over and gathered in a column, and Wu Zesen immediately taught him his improved take-off gestures, and asked everyone to test them on the spot and put forward suggestions for improvement.
Li Zhan did it a few times, feeling the feeling of every part of his body under the whole set of movements. Don't underestimate a small take-off gesture, if it is a full-duty flight, the ground staff in charge of support needs to repeat it many times a day, and there are other gestures, so it is also one of the factors that Li Zhan considers to save effort.
After doing it for a hundred years in a row, Li Zhan had some ideas, and he asked the eight take-off assistants, "Tell me how you feel and put forward suggestions for improvement." ”
The take-off assistant expressed his opinion with great interest, picking out the details, down to the position of each finger. One of the take-off assistants boldly said, "Vice President, I personally think it's okay to squat once or twice in lunges like this, but it's too tiring to do too many times." ”
The old steps should be said to be the deepest experience, when learning to fight, the horse step lunge is the most basic leg action, the stereotype is set to doubt life, and I can't wait to remove the two legs and leave the third leg to use.
Li Zhan said, "Oh? Okay, tell me, what do you think should be changed? ”
The take-off assistant stood in a lunge, pressed his left hand on the deck, held this position, and said, "My feeling now is that if the right leg knee bends at a smaller angle, that's probably it, the back of the thigh is in contact with the calf muscle, which can provide some support, and then the left leg, I recommend not straightening, bending slightly, the inside of the ball of the foot is on the ground, and if necessary, the left side of the knee can touch the ground, so that there is another support point." In this way, the posture can actually be lower, and it will not consume a lot of strength if it is repeated many times, and the protection of other movements remains unchanged. ”
Li Zhan tried it like him, and was surprised, "Hey, that's true, it's a little easier." ”
The take-off assistant said with a smile, "Other movements will not affect the neat momentum, vice president, you see." ”
He demonstrated easily and neatly, turned his head to the right and raised his right hand to point forward, and said habitually, "This time it is more powerful, vice president, look, go you!" ”
Walk you!
Everyone couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The smiling take-off assistant hurriedly stood up and looked at Li Zhan nervously, afraid that he would be scolded for using the language inappropriately.
Who knew that Li Zhan smiled, "Not bad, yes, you are very appropriate to go!" But isn't it, the fighter plane takes off, go you! ”
The smiling take-off assistant breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that Deputy Li was always quite easy to get along with.
Li Zhan thought for a while, gestured with his right arm and said, "The right arm must be forceful when it is raised, the more forceful it is, the clearer the instructions to the pilot." ”
Wu Zesen asked, "Vice President, then follow this action?" ”
"That's it! Start training now! Li Zhan waved his hand.
"Yes!"
The enthusiasm of the take-off assistants was high, and it can be seen that the handsome and powerful movements can enhance the training enthusiasm of the officers and men. Why do veterans like to shoot guns and guns in so many subjects? Because it's cool, bullets shooting, four zero fires, and the sound of three or five pomegranates are the best catalysts for men's adrenaline. Seeing the target being smashed into slag by your own hands is even more incomparable.
The maneuvers were not difficult, and the take-off assistants quickly became proficient. When pulling the process again, Li Zhan deliberately stood on the edge of the simulated deck to watch. The take-off assistant waved his gesture, and he thought silently in his heart, the fighter plane accelerated and slid away, and the whole look and feel was completely different. Of course, the fighter plane doesn't really accelerate and slide out.
In order to have a more comprehensive understanding of the new gestures, Li Zhan called the tower for instructions to take off two or three times, and Commander Zhang gave him five approvals.
So here comes the real thing.
There is no landing interdiction system in the second training area, which is mainly used for take-off training and ground crew training, and is the main training ground for the junior class. Therefore, basically every prospective flying shark can be qualified to cooperate with the training of the ground support team.
The same process went down, the fighter double-engine maximum thrust, the scorching tail flame sprayed on the spoiler, the spout opened to the maximum, the pilot gave a thumbs up, the take-off assistant issued a "go you", the wheel plate was put down suddenly, the nose of the fighter was slightly raised upwards and began to accelerate and run, rushed to the sliding deck and took off successfully.
Feels so much better!
But!
Li Zhan found another place that was not very powerful - the pilot's gesture of "can take off" was a thumbs up, which was too ordinary. Moreover, now everyone is wearing white labor protection gloves, and the thumbs up of the right hand is relatively clear, but in the future, when changing to professional flight gloves, it must be dark, so that the take-off assistant will not be able to obtain the pilot's information at a glance.
He pondered again, and soon smiled and nodded slightly.
At this time, Han Hongjun and Cheng Da came over, and Cheng Da said with a smile, "Lao Li, what do you think, you see that your saliva is about to flow out." ”
Li Zhan said, "The improvement of the pilot's gestures. ”
"Inform all pilots that the gesture that you can take off has been changed to a salute. The pilot confirms that the fighter has reached its maximum thrust and salutes the flight assistant, and the flight assistant sees the pilot salute and makes a gesture to go away. Li Zhan picked up the individual radio and said to all the trainees in the second training area.
Li Zhan explained to Han Hongjun and Cheng Da with a smile, "You see, it can take off is the last gesture the pilot made on the flight deck before taking off, and it is the last communication with the ground crew of the mothership. The change of thumbs up to salute has the meaning of both confirmation and salute to the officers and men of the ground who ensure the flight of fighters. ”
"Good! This is good! This is good! Han Hongjun's eyes lit up and gave him a thumbs up.
Cheng Da looked at Li Zhan in surprise and gave a thumbs up, "You're really a fucking talent!" ”
PS:10000/24000。 Thank you for being called the leader of the alliance, and the follow-up will be sent! Walk you!
