What would it be like to get out of the cramped cockpit of a fighter jet and fly a jumbo jetliner in a spacious cockpit?

The first feeling is that I don't fit in, yes, I'm used to fighters, but I'm not used to large aircraft, the vision in front is not as good as that of fighter jets, only a few portholes can observe the surrounding scenery, and the cockpit roof is overhead, unlike a fighter that can look up at the sky, and at the same time, the most unsuitable is the operating system.

Once you get used to the lever, it's hard to get used to the panel.

Fighters have an operating stick between their legs, moving forward, backward, left and right, respectively to control the pitch and roll of the aircraft, and the left hand is the throttle stick, which controls the thrust of the engine at any time, and even turns on the afterburner when necessary to obtain surging power.

But what about the big plane, it is a reverse 28 bicycle handlebar like a device, relying on this device to operate the aircraft smoothly, both hands have to be on this operating panel, as for the throttle stick, you only need to free your hands a little to control it, after all, the throttle stick of a large passenger aircraft, that is not always in a state of change, almost after reaching a certain position, it will not move.

Holding the operation panel with both hands, it makes people feel a little difficult to adapt, but Qin Feng has no complaints, he must adapt to this big guy as soon as possible, only by adapting to this operation method can he fly, after all, as a test pilot, you must learn to fly various models, so that you can master more experience!

Although it is called an airplane simulator, it is quite primitive, and many flight simulators used in later games are far inferior, the cockpit is fixed here, can not move, can not simulate the feeling of flight, at the same time, the front glass is not a display, at any time to show various situations, but in front of a curtain, by putting a projection to feel the flight, it can be said that this kind of simulator, almost is better than nothing, its technical degree is very low, but it can allow the pilot to adapt to this mode of operation as soon as possible.

Qin Feng was the first to sit up, in front of him, you can see all kinds of aviation instruments, overhead, side, are all kinds of switches, as a pilot, you must be familiar with the role of each switch, the display of each instrument, the display screen of a modern passenger aircraft has not yet appeared, its various instruments, and fighter jets are much the same.

Qin Feng took a deep breath, and then, according to the operation that he had memorized, he toggled the switches one by one, and then, the simulated sound of the aircraft engine sounded in the speaker, and the instrument also moved, released the brake, the scene on the projection screen was changing, and gently pulled the operation panel back, and the passenger plane slowly left the runway and began to fly towards the sky.

Although he was not used to it at the beginning, Qin Feng quickly got started, and felt that there was nothing to do with this kind of operation, as long as he mastered the essentials of flight, the operation of various aircraft could be integrated.

Suddenly, a red light flashed on the dashboard, Qin Feng knew that this was deliberately testing himself, although this simulator looked primitive, it should have a lot of functions, take-off and landing routes, instrument training, driving navigation, troubleshooting, everything.

"The pressure of the No. 2 engine pump was reduced, and the No. 2 engine was shut down to avoid fire." Qin Feng said as he began to manually turn off the engine switch.

That's the benefit of a large aircraft, the Tu-154 has three engines, so if one engine fails in flight, you can turn off that engine and use the remaining two engines to continue flying.

However, it is estimated that only the Soviets designed it this way, and for passenger aircraft, the engine must ensure a high degree of reliability, but the Soviet civil aviation system is inherited from the military system, and it has always maintained the style of five major and three coarse, and it is normal for some small problems to occur from time to time, which requires the pilot to be quick and operate urgently according to various plans.

Qin Feng finished dealing with the special situation, and skillfully piloted the passenger plane back, even if the cycle was over, and then, as soon as Tang was changed, the three of them practiced on the simulator for dozens of hours, and then, the official flight began.

"Brother Feng, you say, can they let us fly to Figure 154?" While writing the task book, Tang Gang asked Qin Feng.

Here, the test flight is a very serious subject, more strict than the country, before the test flight, you need to write a flight mission book, written by the students, this flight mission, what subjects you plan to fly, how long to fly, how much fuel the aircraft needs to be filled, etc., must be written clearly, and then submitted, layer by layer of approval, until the test flight institute approves the approval, you can fly.

Now, they are in the first step, the students write their own flight mission book, and now, while writing, Tang Gang is asking questions in his heart.

Let's conduct test pilot training, this is right, flying fighters, a few takeoffs and landings are acceptable, but large planes are different, this kind of passenger aircraft, one take-off and landing, fuel burning is calculated according to tons, how much does it cost! If you fly this model, even if you fly two sorties and a few hours, the cost is absolutely astronomical.

"For our training, the state must have spent a lot of money." Qin Feng also sighed: "So, we have nothing else, we must study hard, fly seriously, and complete this training with the best results." ”

They don't have to worry, they only study, report accounts, etc., others are responsible, but everyone can guess that the cost must be very high, so they must repay the motherland with the best results, so that they can be regarded as worthy of the motherland and the people.

"Yes." Tang Gang said: "So, in order to help the motherland save money, I think we can complete as many test flight subjects as possible in one sortie, Brother Feng, what do you say?" ”

A few people were discussing the flight mission book, and there was a knock on the door outside, and when several people looked at the door, they immediately stood up.

"Old Song, why are you here?" Qin Feng looked strangely at the white-haired Song Lao appearing at the door, he couldn't believe his eyes, this is not domestic, in the suburbs of Moscow, it was so surprising to be able to see an old acquaintance.

It can't be that you are worried about our training, so you came here on purpose, right? However, it's impossible to think about it, Song Lao doesn't have that need, and he doesn't have this travel expenses.

"I'm here to coordinate the engine." Song Lao said: "I am free today, so I came over to take a look." ”
