Landing on an aircraft carrier is far more difficult than taking off, and the difference in difficulty between the two is at least three or four stories long. In a general sense, Zhang Xueyang's results in six or seven successful hitch landings out of ten times are not ideal, but he is relatively an excellent member.

The short man picked the general, so he became an assistant instructor.

At least he can skillfully complete the entire take-off and landing procedures, so in the face of Li Zhan and Tang Leilei's doubts, he is very confident.

The reason why you can become an assistant teacher with a success rate of 60 or 70 percent is really because it is too difficult, and the experience in this area is blank, and you have to explore it.

"Lao Zhang, the success rate of more than 60 percent is not ideal." Li Zhan said seriously, "I know that your grades are relatively good, so I was appointed as an assistant teacher." But your very good military English is also an important factor, right? ”

Zhang Xueyang blinked and didn't speak.

Some of the doubts in Tang Leilei's heart were slowly confirmed, and he said in a fluttering tone, "I heard that there are foreign teachers, retired naval pilots of ugly countries, but I have never seen them." Zhang Zhu, is it true? ”

Li Zhan also squinted at Zhang Xueyang.

Zhang Xueyang continued to blink his eyes and said, "Don't ask me, I don't know anything, I'm just an assistant teacher, and I don't have a job allowance." ”

He decisively diverted the topic, pointed at Li Zhan and said, "Lao Li, you can speak lightly with your chin now, and you will know how difficult it is when you start to practice." Taking off and landing on an aircraft carrier is definitely not just about having a short runway. ”

"When I landed, I deliberately spared two more laps and took a good look at the flight area." Li Zhan is still full of confidence, "The flight simulator deck should be directly reclaimed from the sea, surrounded by the sea on three sides, with the tail facing northwest and the head facing southeast. ”

Li Zhan sighed and praised, "Those people who are engaged in the experiment are real geniuses, and this place is naturally the best place to simulate take-off and landing at sea." I have learned that the requirements of the Flying Shark training camp at the beginning are not as perverted as they are now, and an important reason is that the original fertile soil flight training base has not yet been built. ”

After the fertile soil flight training base was put into use, the selection standard of the flying shark training was suddenly raised.

He drew it with his hand, "Look here, what is the difference between it and an aircraft carrier except that it can't move?" So I can tell you for sure that I know very well how difficult it is to take off and land on an aircraft carrier, and I am well prepared. Don't you think it's meaningful for my superiors to ask me to bring Dong Sanchu, who has the ability to carry ships, over? ”

"What does it mean? Didn't you say it in the morning, the main thing is to test the new technology for the manufacturer, and use the incomparable good luck of your lever little prince danger handling expert to overcome the high danger in the test. Zhang Xueyang said.

"That's right." Li Zhan smiled and asked again, "But do you think it's normal for the Jian-7 to be on the ship?" ”

Not only the J-7, the Navy will not let any single-engine fighters on the ship, and even if it were not for the J-10 is so good, the Navy would not have purchased the aircraft. The Navy has always been only interested in the Double Chrysanthemum Heavy Aircraft, but it was not a choice before. The Air Force is not interested in the Flying Leopard, but the Navy is eyed, because the Leopard has a long range and the Double Chrysanthemum is safer. There is no station on the sea, if the single-engine machine stops, it means that it crashes, and the double-engine machine has plenty of leeway, and the probability of double-engine parking is extremely low, probably people like Li Zhan will meet it.

Zhang Xueyang came back to his senses and said thoughtfully, "Yes, how can Jian-7 get on the ship." There are really a lot of unreasonableness in what you say. Even if you want to test, you can completely use other aircraft to modify, why use J-7. ”

"I don't know, maybe Cheng Fei doesn't want to use Shen Fei's J-11 as a test platform." Li Zhan spread his hands and suddenly said in surprise, "But the result of my personal analysis is that Cheng Fei is very likely to want to engage in a carrier-based fighter, maybe a twin-engine version of the J-10, maybe a completely new model." ”

Zhang Xueyang and Tang Leilei's eyes suddenly lit up.

Yes, why do you want to use J-7 to carry out the test of aircraft carrier take-off and landing related technology, and even the 037 J-7-EGG is very likely to be used by Chengfei to collect relevant data.

Hey, the double chrysanthemum version of the J-10?

Tang Leilei has never driven the J-10, but he has seen it, so it does not prevent him from forming such a picture in his mind: the fuselage of the twin-engine J-10 is thicker, and the air intake tract has changed from single to double, or under the belly, and it may be a new DSI air intake, and the two huge engine nozzles are the biggest changes......

"The duck pneumatic layout with twin hairs always feels weird." Tang Leilei said it thoughtfully and directly.

Li Zhan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly smiled, "The Rafale in France and the EF-2000 jointly developed by several European countries are all duck aerodynamic layouts, and they are all double-engined. You have this feeling because you are used to the current appearance of the J-10, and it is naturally not just a matter of adding an engine to it, and the overall aerodynamic shape is to be redesigned. I believe the appearance will not be too bad. ”

"Looks?" Zhang Xueyang paid attention to this new term, "Well, this word is used well." ”

"Straight to the point." Li Zhan put away his smile and said, "Mr. Chen gave me a death order to catch up with the training progress within a month." So you two need to help, I'm in the dark right now. ”

"A month? Mr. Chen really looks up to you. Zhang Xueyang gasped slightly.

Li Zhan said, "To be honest, HNA has coveted me for a long time, and when I finally get it, it will definitely be used to death, but I didn't expect it to be so ruthless." Thirty days a month, even if it is a flight day, according to five hours of flying a day, it is one hundred and fifty hours. It's a big challenge to do what you need to do in half a year in 150 hours. ”

"Wait, wait, do you have any misunderstanding about training?" Zhang Xueyang couldn't sit still when he heard this, and said, "Fly one hundred and fifty hours a month? You're crazy, aren't you? ”

Tang Leilei couldn't hold back his laughter, and when he saw Li Zhan glaring at him, he hurriedly held back and said seriously, "Captain, this is not Beiku, and the flying shark is not an eagle falcon, and the training here is very different from what we did before." Suffice it to say, it's not feasible to stack up the amount of training in the form of high-intensity flight training. ”

High-intensity flight training is Li Zhan's forte, and it is also his consistent method to solve the bottleneck of improving combat effectiveness -- that is, to burn aviation fuel, one ton is not enough to burn two tons, and burn until the combat effectiveness is burned out. Someone wanted to study the technique of the Eagle Falcon Brigade's combat effectiveness soaring, but after investigating in Beiku, they found that there was no skill at all, just a simple and crude increase in the amount of training.

Often, the simpler the solution, the more effective.

But at this time, Tang Leilei said that this method would not work.

Zhang Xueyang explained to the puzzled Li Zhan, "I tell you this, even if Mr. Chen takes care of it, it is very, very good that you can fly down for thirty or fifty hours a month." The average monthly flight hour for cadets is now twenty-eight, and Don Jr. flew twenty-five hours last month. ”

"Yes, there is a limited amount of hands-on time." Tang Leilei said.

Li Zhan asked, "Why?" ”

"There aren't enough planes!" Zhang Xueyang said angrily, "There are only six planes in dozens of people, and two of them are being overhauled and maintained all year round, but only four can actually be used, and there is only one J-15S." ”

Li Zhan's eyebrows jumped, "Two-seater J-15? Came out? ”

One of the factors that makes the Flying Shark training extremely demanding is that there was no two-seat J-15 before, which means that the trainees have to fly alone without an instructor to take off and land. At the same time, this also limited the progress of the Flying Shark training, Hainan Airlines called Shen Fei every other day to ask for the plane to come out as soon as possible, Shen Fei was under great pressure, and finally completed the test flight of a prototype at the beginning of the year, and the troops couldn't wait to come over, and the yellow primer of the whole body did not even have a tactical number.

Who would have imagined that the huge Flying Shark unit would be a J-15S two-seat carrier-based fighter.

"The one that was in place last month was still a prototype, and the focus was on supporting modification training, so you basically didn't have the opportunity to touch that aircraft." Zhang Xueyang said.

The modification training he mentioned refers to the training that students who have no experience in piloting J-11 series fighters will receive, such as Li Zhan and Tang Leilei, who have rich experience in the use of J-11 series fighters, can directly drive the J-15 and fly solo for a few hours to enter the normal training state.

Zhang Xueyang said, "The lack of planes is not the only factor, and the flight time is still guaranteed if it is reasonably arranged." The key reason for limiting the number of flight hours is that it is very tedious to practice once, one hour in the sky and three full days in the ground. ”

Under the introduction of Zhang Xueyang and Tang Leilei, Li Zhan figured out the situation.

It turns out that the take-off and landing flight is not as simple as the tower commanding the pilot to start simulating the take-off and landing on the ship, but the linkage of all departments from beginning to end.

Tang Leilei said, "There are dozens of pilots in the cadet team, but there are more than 1,000 relevant support departments and technicians. We have to practice take-off and landing, and they also have to practice support, and it is not easy to fly once. That's why there is a saying that there is one hour in the sky and three whole days in the earth. ”

Li Zhan sighed and said, "Scientific research practice, no wonder you can't fly for hours." ”

Zhang Xueyang said, "It is equivalent to moving the station to the aircraft carrier, so many departments in such a small place, this itself is a system with extremely high requirements for cooperation, we fly on the visible side, and many other invisible aspects are also very important." If nothing else, the transfer on the flight deck alone is a headache. ”

The 300-meter-long and 70-meter-wide flight deck is crammed into a station that can support the combat of a regiment's fighters. Just how to effectively dispatch aircraft is a big question.

"Fortunately, we are latecomers and can follow the path taken by those who have gone before." Li Zhan said, "Lao Zhang, where do you think I should start?" ”

"Theory, let's ...... theory first"

"I've already figured it out." Li Zhan interrupted him, "I haven't been idle for more than a year, I asked someone to ask for the training materials of the flying shark to study on my own, there is no problem in theory, this part can be skipped." ”

Zhang Xueyang was choked up, and sure enough, there is a reason why excellent people are excellent, at least he didn't teach himself before. In fact, Zhang Xueyang's heart was very complicated when he faced Li Zhan, who would dare and who would discipline him like a turtle son? There was no one else except Li Zhan, but he was not angry at all, but had a feeling that "it is an honor to be reprimanded by Li Zhan".

The colonel's regiment, who is in his early thirties, looks so awesome, other people's families have several cars, he has several planes at home, and others refuel for hundreds of dollars to fill up their family to refuel for millions at a time, this should be a very justifiable ace pilot, but in the face of Li Zhan, a small major and a small battalion, there is no sense of superiority at all.

Many people have seen Li Zhan's glorious achievements, the merit table that is so gorgeous that it can make people sigh endlessly, but what many people can't see is the effort behind Li Zhan. For example, he studied the Flying Shark training materials by himself more than a year in advance, and everyone knows what he has been busy with in the past year or so.

No one can succeed casually, and the man who stands up to the sky faces his boss, family, and friends with a meticulous and neat front, but who would have thought that his back may already be full of holes.

To use a fashionable phrase, such a pilot deserves a million-dollar pull-rod fee.

Sighing slightly, Zhang Xueyang said, "Since the theory is okay, then fly directly, go to the simulation cabin first, and then practice." First practice take-off, then simulated touch-on landing, and finally blocking landing. ”

Tang Leilei came up with an idea and said, "Captain, in fact, you have a big advantage, and it should be no problem to catch up with the training progress within a month." ”

"What advantages?" Li Zhan asked.

Zhang Xueyang also looked at Tang Leilei suspiciously.

Tang Leilei grinned and said, "Dong Sangui, others have to wait in line for the plane, you don't have to!" ”

Hey, yes!

"Yes, yes, I didn't think of that." Zhang Xueyang was stunned for a moment, then his eyes rolled a few times and he became happy, and said, "Lao Li, yes, you can use the three crutches of the hole." Chen is always your old chief, you can talk to him about applying for it, and you can set it aside for take-off and landing training. I'd also use your plane to step up my practice of blocking landings. ”

Li Zhan thought about it quickly, shook his head slightly, and said, "It's not easy to do, is it?" Besides, there is no venue. ”

"Yes, didn't you observe it when you landed, the second land-based simulation deck has been basically completed, and the relevant facilities will be put into use as soon as they are installed, and there is no problem with the training ground." Zhang Xueyang said.

Li Zhan touched his chin and nodded slowly, "Then you can give it a try." But before that, there is one more question, will you shoot the J-7? ”

Zhang Xueyang was stunned, yes, he wouldn't drive the J-7.

He was a "rich and handsome" pilot, who was specially recruited into the army and directly modified the Su-27SK. In fact, Zhang Xueyang can't drive any second-generation aircraft, this guy was "born" to drive a third-generation aircraft, which is much smoother than Li Zhan's bitterness.

When is this still not able to get rid of the No. 037 J-7EGG - no matter how you change it, it is still a second-generation aircraft, and the quasi-third generation is not a third-generation aircraft.

Tang Leilei raised his hand excitedly, "I'll drive!" ”

Of course, those who come out of the second division and the fourth regiment will all drive J-7, and those who come out of Beiku will also drive J-7......

PS: I temporarily dealt with the internal contradictions of the people, so it was too late, so I will write a big chapter (4,000 words) first, and then write a small chapter (3,000 words) in the early morning.
