Thank you "AS Star AS" for the tip.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Yang Luo came to the No. 1 hangar, ready to carry out a solo mission.

As Yang Luo's captain and instructor, Ye Jianlong did not accompany Yang Luo to the hangar, but waited for Yang Luo's triumph in the flight briefing room next to the combat readiness duty room.

The fighter assigned to Yang Luo is the 801 J-7G that Lu Yonghao once flew, and Yang Luo also inherited the call sign of 801.

According to the normal procedure, Yang Luo should have flown the J-7 solo, and after a period of training, he could fly the J-7G solo. However, the regiment commander Hu Zhongming made a final decision, directly omitted this step, and put the J-7G in one step.

Looking at the No. 801 J-7G in front of him, the gray paint has looked dilapidated under the wind and sun, and the word Bayi is printed in red on both sides of the fuselage.

Yang Luo was inexplicably excited, and he was finally able to fly on the fighter.

Chujiao VI, L-15 Falcon, and Jianjiao-7, in a strict sense, although they have certain attack capabilities, they cannot be called fighters, they are only training aircraft.

"Comrade pilot, the plane is ready, please receive it." Gou Quan, the leader of the maintenance squadron, stepped forward and saluted.

Yang Luo returned the salute, took the handover folder, and said, "It's troublesome." ”

Turn around, carefully check around the fuselage, confirm that there is no problem, and then sign your name on the folder.

After handing over the folder, I climbed the boarding ladder into the cockpit.

Gou Quan then climbed the staircase to close the glass cover of the cockpit, and then evacuated the staircase and withdrew to a safe area with the maintenance team.

Turning on the avionics system, Yang Luo began to check the instruments in the dashboard, confirmed that they were correct, gave a thumbs up to the ground crew, signaled that the preparation was complete, and asked to slide out.

When the ground crew holding the flag saw it, they played the flag to indicate that they could slide out.

"Boom."

As Yang Luo pushed the throttle valve up, the roar of the turbojet-13F engine, which had been started with the assistance of an external power source, intensified, making an earth-shattering sound.

"Salute!" Gou Quan shouted.

All the ground staff in the No. 1 hangar raised their right hands one after another and saluted Yang Luo solemnly.

This is a blessing to the pilots who fly solo missions.

Yang Luo turned his head to look to the side and raised his right hand to return the salute.

No. 801 J-7G slowly slid out of Hangar No. 1 and slid to the main runway through the towing lane in front of the apron.

"Call the tower, 801 performs a solo mission, requests to take off, over." After braking at the runway, Yang Luo contacted the tower to obtain weather data and take-off permits.

"The tower received, 801, wind direction 100, wind speed 3 meters second, field pressure 1009, runway clearance, can take off, over." The voice of the commander on duty at the tower sounded, but it was the voice of the regiment commander Hu Zhongming.

"801 received, ready to take off. Commander, you're on duty today! β€œ

"Hmm." Hu Zhongming said, "You kid give me a good flight, I wish you a successful completion of the mission and return, I and the political commissar are waiting for you at the tower." ”

"Guaranteed to get the job done." Yang Laurang said.

Brakes were released, throttle valves were pushed up, and the turbojet-13F engine provided power, roaring, pushing the nearly eight-ton fighter jet to glide down the runway.

The throttle valve slowly pushed up to the bottom, and the speed of the J-7G gradually increased, gliding at high speed.

Hasten!

Taxiing at high speed for 650 meters, the J-7G obtained a minimum take-off speed of 280 km / h, and Yang Luo pulled the rod to raise the nose of the plane.

The J-7G lifted off in an elegant posture, crisp and neat.

"Beautiful, perfect take-off process." Hu Zhongming couldn't help but applaud at the tower.

"It's really beautiful, it seems to be better than the take-off of the Jianjiao-7." Political Commissar Wen Xianjun also applauded.

How skilled a pilot is, you can see it from the takeoff.

"J-7, he can't take off to the limit, but J-7G actually made it, I don't know what happened to this kid." Hu Zhongming said with a smile.

"Maybe he's got a little secret of his own." Wen Xianjun said with a smile, he didn't even believe in this sentence.

An unintentional remark was just guessed.

Yang Luo was able to drive the J-7G to take off perfectly, which is the credit of the system, taking off and landing every day, so that he has practiced to the limit of takeoff.

After takeoff, accelerating to 1,500 meters, Yang Luo began to turn back to the airfield. At the same time, contact the tower: "Tower, 801 is ready to perform the solo action subject task, completed." β€œ

Flying solo is not about driving a fighter plane around in the air and finishing the job, but about having a specific task.

The five basic subjects of flying over the station are left and right turns, diving, climbing, and rolling, and then the stall tail spin is changed, the high yoyo maneuver, the defense drum, and the Yinmaiman maneuver are completed in turn, and then the North Tower station is 1,000 kilometers away at a cruising speed.

The above is Yang Luo's solo mission today.

"You can perform action subject tasks, pay attention to safety, and you're done." Hu Zhongming ordered.

"801 understood, over."

Five basic movements, Yang Luo has formed an instinct, and there is no need to think about it at all.

As smooth as flowing water, the five movements are done very standardly, without a trace of error.

The last action Yang Luo did was to climb, climb directly to 2000 meters, and then just enough height to do stall tail spin change.

The stall tail spin is changed, as the name suggests, the aircraft is changed to the aircraft that is in the stall tailspin.

For flight students, this is a very difficult subject, but for regular pilots, it is not a particularly difficult subject, and everyone can successfully change it, of course, the premise is that there is enough altitude.

Reduce the speed, pull the rod, step on the rudder, and the nose of the aircraft is quickly lifted up.

"Drop!"

A rapid alarm sounded, and the instrument display in the cabin was red, flashing red, indicating that the elevation angle was too large and the plane had stalled.

The fuselage has lost its balance, the rudder has failed, the joystick has become noticeably lighter, and the nose is rotating downwards around the vertical axis.

In the cockpit, Yang Luo felt like he was spinning in circles, round and round.

If you are an ordinary person, you will have to faint to death after a few laps.

But pilots are trained to resist vertigo, and spinning is no longer a problem.

Yang Luo didn't dare to hesitate to delay, after all, the height was only 2000, and once the height dropped too much, there would be no chance to change it.

The plane stalled, increasing its speed at a rate of 9.8 meters per square second, which is quite fast.

Feed the oil, press the lever, step on the rudder, follow the operation steps, keep the nose facing down, and accelerate the dive.

Accelerated dive is the only way to get out of stall tailspin, trade high speed for speed, and maintain the correct direction and angle, ultimately allowing the aircraft to have enough speed to restore lift.

After the plane fell 1,000 meters, Yang Luo had regained control of the plane, but Yang Luo did not change it immediately, but continued to dive 500 meters before pulling up the nose and flying out.

"This kid, I have to show off." Hu Zhongming scolded with a smile, and at this time he and the political commissar were holding a military optical telescope and watching from the sky.

Wen Xianjun was puzzled and asked, "Commander, what's the matter?" β€œ

"Obviously he has regained control of the plane, and he has to dive another 500 meters to show off his skills in front of us." Hu Zhongming explained.

"Oh, this shows that Comrade Yang Luo's skills are still quite good."

The conversation between Hu Zhongming and Wen Xianjun, Yang Luo couldn't hear it, and he was now climbing the height again.

At an altitude of 500 meters, you can't do any action, and it's almost the same for a helicopter.

The climb is just the prelude to the high maneuver.

Climb at a high elevation angle, gain altitude at a speed of 165 m/s with a maximum rate of climb.

More than ten seconds later, the 801 J-7G turned to dive down again.

Even if a high-yo maneuver is done, it is a fairly simple action for a regular pilot.

Climbing first to gain height, and then exchanging height for speed, this is a typical high-yode maneuver.

The next defense drum and Yin Maiman's maneuver are not too complicated, and they are a piece of cake for Yang Luo.

The defense drum is explained in simple terms, that is, a continuous roll and turn in one direction.

Yin Maiman's maneuver is not a foreign name, it looks very tall and foreign, in fact, he also has a name - half-rolled upside down. This action is often seen in aerobatic performances at air shows.

After the task of the mobile subject is completed, Yang Luo's solo mission is half completed, and the next task is the thousand-mile transition task.
