Chapter 210: Touching the ship and returning to flight

Command! Comrade Zhang Yuchen was appointed as the captain of the Type 001 aircraft carrier. ”

"Comrade Mei Wenhua, political commissar of the aircraft carrier."

When the No. 1 leader read the name of the political commissar, the corners of his mouth seemed to rise. Except for the political commissar Mei, who was closest to the chief, no one found out. This little embarrassment relieved a lot of his nervousness.

After the appointment of the captain and commissar, the following steps need to be carried out. It is a naming order to grant the flag and the ship's gunwale, name.

"After the national research decision, the Type 001 aircraft carrier was designated as the No. 16 ship of the Navy. Ship name, Liaoning. ”

After receiving the naming certificate in the chief's hand, he thanked the chief for his words of encouragement. On behalf of the Liaoning ship, Captain Zhang received the military flag held by the chief.

Chen Ming couldn't see this scene happening on land. But someone was paying attention, at the moment when Captain Zhang took over the military flag. Chen Ming, who was in the flight control room of the Liaoning ship, received the news and picked up a walkie-talkie in front of him.

"Vice Chief Liu, it's time to raise the flag."

"I hear you."

Deputy Chief Liu's voice immediately came from the walkie-talkie, and after a pause, I only heard him continue.

"Order, the bow of the ship to raise the military flag, the bridge mast to raise the national flag, the stern to raise the naval flag. Start raising the flag! ”

With Vice Commander Liu's order, the three most critical flags on the aircraft carrier, which should have been fully flagped, were slowly raised. The next step is to wait for the chiefs to come aboard the ship to visit and review the naval honor guard.

About half an hour later, the chiefs' cars arrived under the aircraft carrier. The members of the Navy's honor guard had already lined up on the flight deck, and Chen Ming was now paying attention.

Not only did I want to see what the living person of the No. 1 leader looked like, but more importantly, it was more important to prevent other personnel from running out recklessly to disturb the progress of the ceremony.

The ceremony did not proceed slowly, and after the chief had inspected the naval honor guard, he symbolically went down to the wheelhouse, and then visited a few cabins before leaving the ship. And Captain Zhang and the others stayed, and the chief was naturally accompanied by the big leaders of the Navy Headquarters, and the rest of the matter was not something that they should make do with these small fish and shrimp.

When the chief left, the comrades in charge of security work in the Central Police Bureau naturally followed suit. In the aircraft carrier restaurant in the evening, the cooking platoon specially made a sumptuous meal.

It is not only to celebrate the official entry of the aircraft carrier, but also to see off the comrades of the Navy's honor guard.

After eating and drinking, Chen Ming did not continue to stay in the restaurant and exchanged business with the comrades of the honor guard, so he had to leave early, and then he was busy.

Early the next morning, Captain Zhang notified the heads of various departments on the ship to assemble in the conference room.

"Connect to the video conference."

Seeing that the main personnel on the ship had arrived, Captain Zhang announced the opening of the meeting. And the other party of the video, as Chen Ming expected, is the kid of the Dai Democratic League.

"Hello Comrade Dai, how are you doing with your landing flight practice now? And the progress of the training work of Xinfei? ”

"Report to the captain, my practice is in good condition, and I can complete the landing task of the carrier-based aircraft at any time. The training of new pilots is progressing steadily, in accordance with our training requirements. After four more sorties, the first batch of pilots who have completed landing training will be able to board the ship. ”

Dai Democratic League, who was on the other side of the video, replied with a salute after hearing Captain Zhang's words. And Chen Ming suddenly missed this young man when he heard his words. Thinking about it, I haven't seen this guy for almost two years, obviously it's a person from the aircraft carrier force, but I can't even see the ship in the past two years.

If Chen Ming and others saw the rusty aircraft carrier at the beginning, they were disheartened. But the visible construction changes in the back have undoubtedly been cheering them on, while the CDF has not.

Every day I train the ship, but what I see is always the rusty iron lump on the land and in my mind.

"Very good, Comrade Xiao Dai, you have worked hard. Here's an announcement of the next priorities. ”

Captain Zhang's words interrupted Chen Ming's thoughts, and he heard that there was a mission. Everyone in the conference room straightened their backs and cheered up.

"For the next two months, let's set sail. Complete the real landing training of carrier-based aircraft. After this step is completed, I believe that the pilots on your side can also go to the ship, and their subsequent training will be directly on the real guys. ”

After Captain Zhang finished speaking, he paused and set his eyes on Chen Ming.

"Comrade Chen Ming, everything on our ship will be the first priority to ensure the completion of the ship's training. Your responsibilities are heavy, and how to complete the landing training safely and efficiently is a question you need to think about. ”

"It's not just this landing training. As you know, this landing is our first landing, and it is of an experimental nature. You need these first landings, in flight. As soon as possible, we will find a set of training outlines for carrier-based aircraft on board that are suitable for us and for the glide flight deck. ”

"Yes, mission guaranteed!"

After Chen Ming heard Captain Zhang's words, he immediately stood up and saluted.

"Alright, sit down. Next, let's talk about the specific problem, this landing training, the deadline given above to complete the mission is three months. Time seems to be sufficient, but this is a requirement, all carrier-based aircraft can complete the requirements of landing and taking off on the ship, so the time is actually quite tight. ”

Captain Zhang first waved his hand, motioned for Chen Ming to sit down, and then spoke.

"Xiao Dai, Xiao Chen. As the flight captain and aviation director of our ship, you two discuss the preparation for the first landing. ”

Hearing Captain Zhang's words, Chen Ming and Dai Minmeng looked at each other a little embarrassed. Chen Ming's flight is the eagle style, not to mention, even if the Dai Democratic League landed on the Mao Xiong's General Kuznetsov, an aircraft carrier that is a sister ship to the Liaoning, but after all, the Liaoning has undergone a major overhaul, and it is normal for the captain to be worried.

But how to discuss this kind of thing. Whether a pilot can accurately land on an aircraft carrier depends more on personal training in addition to relying on external instruments and facilities. As for the training situation of the Dai Democratic League, Chen Ming is really blind.

"Why don't you practice touching the ship and flying back first?"

After thinking about it, Chen Ming said stiffly.

The training is much safer, and it only trains the pilot's ability to accurately find the 36-meter landing area in the vast sea on an aircraft carrier that looks like the size of a leaf at high altitude.

It's a bit like precision skydiving, except that the pilot just needs to smash the wheels in the landing area. There is no need to put the ship hook, and there is no need to train with Chen Ming on the sea base, the main wheel is grounded and then immediately refueled.

New drivers will be nervous when driving, not to mention this iterative process. It already takes a lot of energy to be able to accurately land within the range of the landing area from the vast sea, and Chen Ming doesn't want to be as demanding as Charlie's pervert from the beginning.

"Okay, I agree. I also need to go around once to find my form. It's been almost a decade since I've actually landed on an aircraft carrier. ”
