Chapter 214 The Cat Field Station at an altitude of 2,100 meters

The Kat Station, located on the edge of the Hengduan Mountains, to be precise, is in the southeast of Zang District, surrounded by mountains on three sides, is a regular battalion-level military station, with only two 2,000-meter-long side-by-side runways, and the southwest wind blows all year round, or there is no sustained wind direction.

It was already more than six o'clock in the evening, and it was already completely dark at the Cat Field Station, which was already raining and snowing.

All kinds of lights in the station are lit up, reflecting the station as if it were day.

"Attention to all machines, lower the altitude and prepare to enter." Yang Luo switched the channel to the encrypted channel of the CAT station, and issued a call "Call the tower of the CAT station, the Sword Squadron performs the transfer training mission, requests to land, and is over." ”

Directly in front of the Sword Squadron, hidden in the mountains and forests, the Kat field station in the rain and snow became clearer and clearer.

"The Kath Tower received, there is no continuous wind direction on the ground, the wind speed is 1 meter second, the field pressure is 780, the altitude of the station is 2100 meters, and the Sword Squadron can land."

After the commander on duty at the CAT station gave the ground meteorological parameters and landing permission, he said in a rather serious voice, "The runway is slippery, please pay attention to safety, over." ”

"Sword squadron received, ready to land, over." Yang Luo's face was serious, and after responding, he arranged, "The ground parameters have been sent to each aircraft through the data link, the altitude of the station is relatively high and the runway is slippery, you need to pay special attention, remember to adjust the altimeter, use a two-plane formation to land, 311 follow me down, 304 and 305 will land later." ”

Rain and snow are no big problem for the Sword Squadron, what you really need to pay attention to is the field pressure.

The so-called field pressure is the actual altitude pressure of the airport, and the real altitude of the aircraft relative to the airport is obtained according to the field pressure.

In the past, when taking off from Dongling Station, the field pressure of Dongling Station was used, and at this time, the field pressure of Cat Station must be used, otherwise there will be a great error in the altimeter.

For example, if the flight altitude of the Sword Squadron at this time is calculated according to the field pressure of the Dongling Field Station, the altimeter shows 4,000 meters, but the field pressure altimeter of the Cat Field Station shows only 1,900 meters.

Generally speaking, when a fighter is flying normally at high altitude, it uses standard air pressure, and when landing, it needs to adjust the standard air pressure to the field pressure of the station where it is ready to land.

There was a typical case where the pilot forgot to adjust the field pressure, which led to an accident.

The accident occurred at the eagle's house on the other side of the ocean, an old bird of the Thunderbird Flight Show Team, temporarily went to an airport to perform, forgot to adjust the altimeter, and used the field pressure of the Thunderbird's nest, and the altitude of this airport is 305 meters higher than the Thunderbird's nest.

According to the plan, he should have climbed to 762 meters to do a backflip, and dive to pull up when he was very close to the ground, but the error of the altimeter made him flip back when he just climbed to a height of only 509 meters, and the result was that the height was not enough to pull up, and finally ejected and escaped 08 seconds before the fighter crashed to the ground, and the fighter crashed.

"XXX received, altimeter adjusted."

Three responses rang out in the communication channel in turn, revealing a sense of exhaustion.

After a long-distance flight of more than four hours, I was always suffering from flight overload, and I was already very tired, and my physical strength and energy were exhausted, and I reached the limit.

On the other hand, Yang Luo, perhaps because of the number of long-distance flights, is much better than their situation, although it can't be said to be full of energy, but there is no problem at all to fly for a few more hours.

This flight did not turn on the autopilot function, and kept flying in manual formation, which can be regarded as a kind of training.

The four-plane formation was disbanded, and from Yang Luo's point of view, No. 304 and No. 305 J-10C retreated as if blown by a gust of wind.

Xue Fei piloted the 311 J-10C, formed a two-plane formation with Yang Luo, controlled the car with little fuel left, and flew through four turns according to the standard landing procedure, lowered the landing gear, and faced the straight and slender runway.

Two J-304 and 305Cs followed.

"Boom!"

As the roar of the aero engine resounded over the CAT field station, four J-10C fighters shuttled through the rain and snow and landed in an elegant attitude.

The nose of the plane rose slightly, and a mist of water rose on the runway.

Brake!

Decelerate!

After the gliding speed of the fighters was reduced to a controllable level, the four fighters immediately drove into the brightly lit and standard round arch hangar under the guidance of the ground crew at the Cat Field Station, and braked steadily to a halt.

The round arch hangar was empty, and there were no fighters parked here, and there were no maintenance personnel waiting for the fighters to be repaired and maintained, only a few ground crews, as if this was a backup station.

However, the reality is that this depot was originally stationed with a large group of fighters and maintenance, but this morning it was withdrawn, and the hangar was completely emptied.

And the maintenance personnel who did maintenance for the four J-10Cs did not have time to come over because of the suddenness of the incident, and they were still at Dongling Station.

"Comrade pilot, hello, I'm Luo Changbiao, the head of the Kat Station."

As soon as he came to the ground from the boarding ladder taken by the ground crew, a major military academy with a seniority card on his chest showed that several officers in the main battalion stepped forward to salute and introduce themselves.

Yang Luo handed over the flying helmet he was carrying in his right hand to his left hand, returned the salute and introduced himself, "Comrade Stationmaster, hello, I am Yang Luo, the leader of the Sword Squadron, and I need to trouble you during this time." ”

"It's all about serving the people, and there's no trouble to talk about." Luo Changbiao praised with a smile, "Captain Yang is really young and promising!" ”

Immediately, Xue Fei and the others stepped forward to salute and introduce themselves in turn.

"Stationmaster Luo is polite." Yang Luo said with a smile.

Looking at Yang Luo's young face, Luo Changbiao was quite surprised, he had just received a notice in the morning, saying that a squadron of people would come to train in the afternoon, and he wanted the Cat Field Station to fully cooperate.

I thought that the person leading the team would at least be an old pilot, not to mention that he was too old, but he didn't expect it to be a pilot who looked so young.

"It can't be a baby face, right?" Luo Changbiao was secretly suspicious, but he said, "Comrades, please get in the car." ”

"I'm in trouble." Yang Luo nodded and said, and got into a seven-seater commuter car together.

After changing into the flight equipment, the commuter car took Yang Luo and the others to the flight restaurant for dinner.

Because of the small number of diners, the traditional dining model was adopted instead of a buffet model.

The hungry four people, plus Luo Changbiao as a companion, the five of them sat around a table, and solved the nutritious meal with five divided by two.

Immediately, under the leadership of Luo Changbiao, he went to the dormitory to rest.

Originally, Luo Songbiao wanted to hold a meeting to familiarize Yang Luo and others with the situation at the station, but Yang Luo considered that it was already evening, so he postponed the meeting to tomorrow morning.

The maintenance personnel had not yet arrived, and it was impossible for the fighters to carry out flight training until they had been inspected, which could just be used to familiarize themselves with the situation at the Qatar station.

The dormitory at the Cat station was not comparable to the apartment at the Dongling station, and the pilots did not have a separate dormitory building, but were crammed into one building with the rest of the station.

However, pilots are always pilots, and there are preferential treatment in terms of accommodation, and it is impossible to crammed into a dormitory in a class like everyone else.

Due to the small number of Yang Luo and them, there were only four people to watch, and it was originally a pilot dormitory for two people, so only one person lived in it.

There were two beds in the dormitory, Yang Luo chose one at random, sorted out his personal belongings, and got into the quilt after taking a shower.

Yang Luo, who was wrapped in a quilt, leaning on the head of the bed, holding a book in his hand, couldn't help but sigh, "It's still warm and comfortable in the quilt." ”

After staying in the north for a few years, he was used to having a heated room, and when he returned to the south without heating, Yang Luo suddenly didn't apply it.
