The next day.

After a sunny day, the sun could not be seen at the station of the Kat field, and according to the report of the meteorological station, it was a cloudy day with a moderate temperature.

Yang Luo still has muscle aches all over his body, which is the result of excessive lactic acid accumulation, which is a bit inconvenient to walk, and it will take several days to relieve.

It is impossible to fly on the plane, and you can only command from the tower.

At half past eight o'clock in the morning, the Eagle Squadron was released in three batches to carry out single-plane combat training.

At nine o'clock, the first two batches of four fighters to take off returned to the station one after another to land, and the Sword Squadron immediately prepared to take off for training.

Because Yang Luo couldn't train, the Sword Squadron also performed single-plane combat training, and Xue Fei's opponent was Ye Jianlong, so they took off at the same time.

Yesterday afternoon and evening, Yang Luo did not arrange flight training for the Sword Squadron. The reason is that they need to rest, and the flight in the morning is still relatively intense, although it cannot be compared with Yang Luo; The second is that the station machine needs to go through a major overhaul and maintenance, which takes time.

In almost a day, the maintenance team led by Gou Quan and the maintenance team of the 75th Division worked overtime to overhaul and maintain three fighters, and Yang Luo's 301 J-10C has not yet completed maintenance.

"302, 311, it's southwest wind today, you can slide out of the hangar, over." Yang Luo sat in the command chair, looked condescendingly at the flight area below, and gave an order.

"302 received, ready to slide out, over."

"311 received, ready to slide out, over."

After receiving the order of the tower, the two fighters slid out of the hangar one after another, slid straight to the tow lane, turned into the runway through the end of the tow road, and prepared to take off.

Today it is blowing from the southwest, and according to the rules of headwind take-off and landing, the take-off direction should be northeast.

Ye Jianlong, who was walking in front, completed the steering well, braked steadily and stopped on the runway, waiting for the take-off order.

When it was Xue Fei's turn, it was supposed to be a left turn, but he turned right, going the other way.

Yang Luo, who saw this scene, was suddenly angry, picked up the intercom, pressed the dialogue button, and shouted: "311. What are you doing?" Don't you understand taking off and landing against the wind? Don't you want to fly? ”

Yang Luo didn't know that Xue Fei, who had finished pedaling the rudder, had a big change in his face, because he was pedaling the left rudder, but the fighter was disobedient, and if he had to turn right, he had no choice but to brake diagonally and stop on the runway.

"Tower, I'm pedaling the left rudder, but the plane seems to have a problem, what can I do if it has to turn right?" Xue Fei said aggrievedly in the communication channel.

"What do you say? I'm saying it again. When Yang Luo heard this, he was taken aback, he couldn't believe it, and this kind of operation was unheard of.

"I'm on the left side, but the plane is turning right." Xue Fei repeated.

Yang Luo knew that there was something wrong with this fighter, but he still instructed: "You try to push the right rudder." ”

Xue Fei let go of the brakes, gave a little oil, and pedaled the right rudder as he said.

The 311 J-10C moved slowly, gliding at an extremely slow speed, but instead of turning to the right, it was turning to the left.

Xue Fei hurriedly braked, retracted the throttle valve, and reported: "Tower, pedal the right rudder is turning left, and the rudder should be reversed." ”

"Damn, what do you do with the maintenance, how can you make such a low-level mistake?"

Yang Luo was really angry now.

The rudder is reversed, this is the lowest mistake, it is a mistake that is absolutely impossible to make, but now it is happening.

"302, 311, stop, wait for the tractor to come over and tow the hangar, the training is canceled." Yang Luo held back his anger and gave instructions.

"311 understood, stopped and waited for the tractor." Xue Fei replied, shutting down each system in turn.

"Tower, 302 is fine, you can return on your own, over." Ye Jianlong said that in the same communication channel, he naturally knew what was going on.

Yang Luo said: "Obey the order." ”

"Yes." Ye Jianlong said helplessly.

"Communications staff officer, immediately notify the hangar to tow the two J-10Cs back for inspection." Then, Yang Luo said to the deputy commander on the right, "Staff Officer Zhou, immediately call the two J-10A in the sky back for inspection, and at the same time do not allow any plane to take off, I'll go down and take a look." ”

If one fighter plane has a problem due to maintenance, then all fighters may have problems and must be inspected.

This is not Yang Luo's fuss, but for the sake of safety.

Flying is an extremely rigorous thing, and there is no room for the slightest carelessness.

Came to the bottom of the tower, a commuter car just drove over, "squeak" stopped in front of Yang Luo, Yang Luo got into the car and did not sit down, the driver stepped on the accelerator, and the commuter car suddenly ran out and ran wildly in the direction of the hangar.

Sitting on the commuter car, Yang Luo thought left and right, but he couldn't understand how the maintenance team led by Gou Quan could make such a low-level mistake.

The 311 J-10C was all fine yesterday, why did the rudder reverse after a maintenance?

And today, after the start-up and Xue Fei each conducted a pre-take-off inspection, and only after confirming that it was normal did they carry out the handover, Xue Fei and the maintenance did not even find this problem, it was too careless.

This is a very serious safety liability accident.

"It seems that it is necessary to strengthen the education of safety ideology." Yang Luo frowned and thought to himself.

When he was at Dongling Station, there was not only a deputy regiment commander in charge of security, but also a deputy political commissar, and even the brigade instructor didn't need to take care of anything, let alone him, a squadron leader with a lower rank.

So for a long time, Yang Luo did not pay attention to safety education, because someone did it for him.

After coming to the Kat Station, although Yang Luo was in charge of all matters, in his opinion, these aircraft maintenance and pilots were older than himself, and in front of them, he was a new soldier, and his consciousness should be higher than himself, so there was no need to whisper the word safety in their ears every day.

But now it seems that Yang Luo knows that he was wrong, and it was a big mistake.

Fortunately, this accident was discovered on the ground, and if it reached the sky, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The rudder is reversed, and it is basically impossible to return safely after takeoff, and the best result is that the plane crashes, the pilot parachutes, and at worst, the plane is destroyed and people die.

Some people will say, if you want to turn left, can't I just push the right rudder?

There may be people who can do such a thing, but this is definitely something that only a very small number of people can do, not the vast majority.

Because turning left to the left rudder, right to right rudder, this is a human instinctive reaction, once you encounter a turn, you will subconsciously make it, and you don't have to think through the brain at all.

And one thing happens is that all the maneuvers are done according to the left turn, and the plane has to turn right, then it is very likely to hit an obstacle or stall or something like that.
