Trouble!

Black vision itself is a terrible physiological phenomenon, a precursor to syncope, and a great threat to flight safety.

However, pilots who are trained to resist overload generally regain their vision quickly, usually within a few seconds of the overload disappearing.

But now, the situation with Lei Zhan is obviously more complicated, seven or eight seconds have passed, and his vision has not yet recovered.

What's even more terrifying is that now Lei Zhan's eyes are directly blind, he can't see all the flight parameters, and he doesn't know what the state of the plane is at all, so he can only rely on his feelings to fly.

"425, the flight attitude is flattened, steady, we will find a way immediately."

Bai Chaoqun instantly felt the adrenaline rush, stimulating every nerve, and hurriedly gave the order to stabilize first.

"425 understood, over."

Lei Zhan's tone was very calm, and he didn't feel any tense atmosphere.

Obviously, Lei Zhan's psychological quality is excellent.

"301, tower call, please answer received." Bai Chaoqun immediately picked up the intercom and called Yang Luo.

"301 received, please speak at the tower, over." Yang Luo, who was wondering about the abnormal flight attitude of the 425 J-11BH fighter on the radar screen, immediately turned on the radio communication device after receiving the call and replied.

Bai Chaoqun immediately gave an order: "301, confrontation aborted ......"

Before Bai Chaoqun finished speaking, Yang Luo's heart suddenly burst, and a bad premonition came to his mind, and he hurriedly asked loudly: "The confrontation is suspended?" Why? ”

"425 has a problem with his eyes, and now he can't see." Bai Chaoqun explained, and urgently gave an order: "301, you immediately rush over as fast as possible and guide 425 to return." ”

Hearing Bai Chaoqun's words, Yang Luo didn't dare to slack off at the moment, and immediately replied: "301 understands, I'll rush over immediately." ”

At the same time that Bai Chaoqun was talking to Lei Zhan and Yang Luo in the sky, on the other side, Xiang Dong, as the deputy commander, pressed the special alert button for the first time, and his face was very ugly, just because Lei Zhan who had an accident was from their HNA.

As the sound of the special alarm sounded over the Dingxin station, the emergency rescue team in the station quickly took action and drove various special rescue vehicles to the edge of the runway in the flight area.

A Z-8 helicopter, as well as the crew and rescue personnel, which were deployed to ensure the free air combat competition, quickly boarded the plane and was ready to take off and dispatch in a very short time.

No one knows what the final result will be, maybe the forced landing will be successful, or maybe you will be forced to abandon the plane and parachute, in short, it is right to prepare for the worst.

"Report to the base command and the heads of air and navy who are watching the battle in the auditorium." To the east, he quickly gave orders to the communications staff officers on the side.

On the surface, Dingxinchang Station is only a military airport, but in fact it is a large-scale military base integrating flight units, air defense units, and scientific research units, and has a base headquarters.

One order after another was issued in an orderly manner, and all departments directly and indirectly related to it immediately took action.

"The 425 return flight area is clean and the weather is good."

"425 airspeed 750, altitude 3600, heading 240."

"The rescue is ready, and the helicopter is ready to take off."

……

The sound of crackling and tapping on the keyboard on the tower was endless, and the information was fed back one by one and summarized into the hands of the two commanders.

For the time being, the two commanders on the tower can do everything, and then wait for the 425 to return, it depends on the pilot.

The military and political directors of the base headquarters who received the report, as well as the heads of air divisions and HNA who were watching the battle in the auditorium, appeared in the tower almost front and backward.

In fact, they didn't get the report yet, and they realized that something was wrong as soon as the special intelligence alarm sounded, and immediately rushed to the tower by commuter bus.

Bai Chaoqun gave a brief report on the situation to several leaders, and finally said: "I have ordered 301 to rush over and guide 425 to return." ”

Several leaders immediately understood Bai Chaoqun's intentions, 425 is now invisible, all operations are blind exercises, there must be a pair of eyes to see all the flight parameters for him, and 301 rushed over to accompany the flight, in fact, it was to act as 301's eyes.

It's a good idea.

The head of HNA nodded, looked at the radar display, and asked, "Who is this 301?" Are you sure? ”

"No problem, the pilot of the 301 J-10C is called Yang Luo, he has a lot of experience, and he once guided a fighter whose dashboard failed to land after hitting a bird." Bai Chaoqun replied.

Bai Chaoqun, who works in the Air Division Training Center, knows Yang Luo's situation well, and he is very sure that there is no problem with Yang Luo to guide at least this stage of the return flight.

"Yang Luo? I seem to have some impression of this person. The head of the air division said, his brow furrowed slightly, thinking about where he had heard the name.

Bai Chaoqun said: "Chief, Yang Luo is a pilot of the 122nd Regiment of the 31st Division. ”

"It turned out to be him, does he have a nickname...... Hey, what's it called? The head of the air division couldn't remember for a while.

"Maniac." Bai Chaoqun reminded.

"Yes, madman." The head of the air division said with a smile.

Listening to the conversation between Bai Chaoqun and the head of the air division, the head of HNA was full of doubts and asked, "Who is this Yang Luo?" The ability is so big, I have registered in your air division. ”

"You can rest assured, with Yang Luo here, there is no problem with returning home, now what we have to consider is how to land safely, and the rest will be postponed." The head of the air division frowned.

Hearing what the head of the air division said, it was not good for the head of Hainan Airlines to continue to ask questions, although he was very curious about this pilot who could register with the air division.

The head of the air division looked at Bai Chaoqun and Xiang Dong and asked, "Do you have a plan to land?" ”

This question also attracted the attention of the military and political director of the base headquarters and the head of the HNA command, and they all looked at the two commanders.

Regardless of whether the pilot of the 425 J-11BH Lei Zhan is a person from the air division or a person from the Hainan Airlines, it does not matter at this time, what matters is how to land safely on the ground.

Bearing the gaze of several bigwigs, Bai Chaoqun and Xiang Dong both had a sudden burst in their hearts, and sweat oozed slightly from their foreheads.

"No, it's the first time I've encountered this situation, and I don't know what to do." Bai Chaoqun smiled bitterly.

If you talk about other special situations, Bai Chaoqun knows more or less about the response plan, but he has really never encountered this kind of situation where his eyes can't see in the sky, whether it is at home or abroad, he has never heard of it, and he doesn't know the emergency plan, so he can't talk about it.

The selection of pilots has always been extremely strict, and physical health is the first element. No matter how good the talent is, the physical disqualification is not allowed to go to heaven. 120

Every pilot should have a physical examination at least once a month in order to rule out the possibility of disease.

For the sake of this air combat competition, every pilot has done a physical examination before coming, and it stands to reason that this situation should not occur, but there is a problem with the lightning battle.

"The key point of landing is how to align with the runway, and other flight parameters, such as altitude, speed, etc., can be reported by the 301 or the tower......" Xiang Dong said, but in the end he did not give how to solve the problem of aligning the runway.

After some words to the east, Bai Chaoqun was inspired and said: "Can you consider installing instruments on both sides of the runway to measure the course of the 425 landing, and command the 425 to adjust the landing angle." ”

"There is a certain feasibility, you can give it a try." The head of the air department said, turned his head to look at the head of HNA on the side and asked, "What do you think?" ”

"If there is really no other way, you can try it, and if it doesn't work, you can pull it up again, and with the fuel carrying capacity of the J-11BAH, you can also hover in the sky for a long time." The head of HNA nodded and replied.

After the plan was decided, Bai Chaoqun immediately issued instructions and notified the relevant departments to make corresponding preparations.

"Report chief, 301 is in place." The radar staff officer, who was staring at the radar display, suddenly reported.

All of a sudden, everyone's eyes were focused on the radar display, and the two sources displayed on it almost overlapped.

"Report to the tower, 301 is in place, please instruct, over." Yang Luo's voice sounded in the loudspeaker of the tower at the right time.

Since receiving the order from the tower, Yang Luo hurriedly adjusted the direction and flew in the direction of the 425 J-11BAH.

With the current flight attitude of the 425 J-11BH, the distance between them is not particularly far, and it doesn't take a long time to catch up.

The reason why it took a bit long was because Yang Luo needed to adjust the speed, altitude, and heading to be basically the same as 425, and he had to get relatively close, so as to ensure the accuracy of the data.

"425, 301 guides you back, and then you follow 301's instructions, over." Bai Chaoqun gave instructions to Lei Zhan.

"425 understood, over."

Lei Zhan breathed a sigh of relief, and finally he didn't have to fly aimlessly anymore, and the fighter plane was still out of sight.

"301,425 will be handed over to you, pay attention to keep a safe distance." Bai Chaoqun gave another order to Yang Luo.

"301 understands, he must bring 425 back." Yang Luo replied.

The 425 J-11BH flew slightly ahead of Yang Luo's left side, leading about 50 meters away, with a distance of about 20 meters between the left and right.

Such a distance allows Yang Luo to observe the flight attitude of the 425 J-11BH well, without worrying about inhaling the exhaust gas of the 425 J-11BH.

"425, the current airspeed of 780, altitude 3200, heading 240, is descending at a rate of about 1 meter per second, it needs to be fine-tuned, changed to level flight." Yang Luo briefed Lei Zhan on the situation.

"Understood." Lei Zhan listened, knew in his heart, exerted an insignificant force, pulled the lever back, and stopped the fighter from continuing to descend.

"Good job, I've changed to level flight." Yang Luo praised.

Such a subtle adjustment, still in the state of blind operation, can be successful at one time, without the need for multiple adjustments, there are definitely not many pilots who can do this, which makes Yang Luo have to admire.

"It's over." A smile appeared at the corner of Lei Zhan's mouth, and it was a happy thing to hear the praise of his opponent, even if he was in danger.

"Now adjust the course, we're in the opposite direction now, the return course is 80, you need to turn 160 degrees to the right." Yang Luo instructed.

"Understood, 160 degrees to the right."

While replying to Yang Luo, Lei Zhan's right foot had already kicked on the right rudder. The 425 J-11BH immediately responded and began to make a right turn.

The fastest way to make a 160-degree turn is to use an outdated speed maneuver, which can be achieved by the Herbst maneuver and the falling leaves, Yang Luo likes to use this method to make a U-turn, which can reduce the turning radius to a minimum, or even zero radius. However, now Lei Zhan can't see it, and using such a method is basically no different from finding death, so it is naturally impossible to use it.

The normal way to make a U-turn is to use the right rudder and the joystick together, and pull the joystick to the right while pushing the right rudder to tilt the fuselage to the right at an angle, which can reduce the turning radius.

But Lei Zhan didn't use such a method, the reason was naturally because he couldn't see, because after turning around, he not only needed to adjust the angle of the course, but also needed to adjust the angle of the fuselage to return to the state of level flight, which added a lot of trouble.

If you only use the right rudder, you only need to adjust the course under the command of Yang Luo, although this turn requires a very large turning radius.

"It's not there yet, it's 40 degrees to the right."

"It's still a little bit closer, the current course is 65, and it needs to be adjusted to the right by 15 degrees."

"After that, go back 5 degrees to the left."

……

This time, because the turning radius was too large, reaching 160 degrees, Lei Zhan failed to adjust the descent rate in one step as before, and after Yang Luo's many prompts, he finally succeeded in turning the course to 80.

The course of this thing, it is easy to say that it is close, but the distance must be accurate, otherwise it will deviate from the destination by a very large distance, which really corresponds to the idiom - the difference is a thousand miles.

"Tower, 425 has turned to the correct course and is on its way back."

Commanding the 425 J-11BH to successfully turn to the 80 course, Yang Luo reported to the tower.

"Tower received." Bai Chaoqun looked at the radar screen and replied.

As can be seen from the radar screen, two signals that are almost overlapping are coming along the 80 course to the field station.

The problem of returning home has been solved, and there is basically no danger, and everyone on the tower breathed a sigh of relief, but they urgently had to face a very serious problem - landing.

To be honest, everyone didn't have great expectations for the method proposed by Bai Chaoqun, but just had the attitude of giving it a try.

Because there is enough fuel, you can also re-pull up the altitude, besides, you don't need to reduce the altitude to a very low altitude to try to see if you can align with the runway, you can test it at medium and low altitudes, and there is basically no danger, which is why several bigwigs can agree.

But what if this method doesn't work, so everyone, including a few bigwigs, is still thinking about whether there is another way to land.

In the face of such a special situation, no one has ever had such a command experience, and everything needs to be explored by themselves.

Of course, there is a final method, which is to order Lei Zhan to abandon the plane and parachute, but there are preconditions for this order to be issued, and such an order can only be given if the life and safety of the pilot are endangered.

Therefore, it is not possible to order a thunder war to parachute for the time being, unless this method fails and no other method is thought of, and the fuel is exhausted before the order to parachute is compelled to be given.

"It's still 10 kilometers from the station."

The sound of the radar staff officer's report woke up everyone who was pondering, and they all focused their attention on the radar screen.

Bai Chaoqun even picked up the military optical telescope and looked over, and he could already see the figures of the 425 J-11BH and the 301 J-10C, which were flying smoothly in the direction of the station.
