A ground crew member held a yellow-red flag to signal that it was okay to slide out.
"Buzz!" The roar of the engine echoed all around. Wearing a white helmet with the Bayi pattern printed on the top, Zhou Hai nodded and grasped the dexterous and smooth metal joystick again.
Two days apart, the feeling is not unfamiliar, but more familiar. An intimate feeling of blending with the war eagle beneath me, flooding my heart and filling my mind, seems to be connected.
close!
This is a feeling that Zhou Hai has never experienced before. The war eagle under him is like his body and limbs, and everything is controlled in his heart.
"Let us fly." Sitting on the ejection seat, Zhou Hai exhaled, his eyes as sharp as knives, staring straight ahead.
Push up the throttle valve and push the lever forward.
The scream of the engine gradually increased, and a wisp of high-temperature tail flame emerged from the tail nozzle. The hot air flow spurted to the rear like a turbulent torrent. The L-15C Falcon painted in silver gray slowly drove out of the apron. Landing gear aviation tires roll.
"salute!"
At the same time, Lei Qiang straightened his back, raised his right hand suddenly, and gave a military salute to the L-15C Falcon as it left the tarmac and set off for the sky, making a loud sound.
This is etiquette!
Ceremony for a young eagle taking its first solo flight into the sky.
In an instant, Yang Xiaolong and the six people from the first ground support team looked solemn and raised their hands in salute.
Zhou Hai, who was in the cockpit holding the control stick, raised his hand in return. The entire L-15C Falcon carried a proud momentum, with a billowing heat wave at the end, and drove smoothly along the apron access road, heading straight for the taxiway in front.
In the distance, Wang Zhuyu, Yi Xuewu and other crash course students, as well as Xiao Nan in dormitory 308, stood at the edge of the airport, silently watching the L-15C Falcon slowly entering the taxiway.
"Call the tower, No. 109 is performing a solo mission and request takeoff." Zhou Hai stared at the approaching runway No. 1, turned on the radio, and sent a takeoff request to the airport tower.
The female controller at the tower held the microphone and gave the ground parameters and take-off permission: "The tower received it, the surface wind was due south, wind speed was level 3, gust level 4, there was no crosswind, the field pressure was 1015, the weather forecast turned to cloudy and rainy, permission to take off .”
"No. 109 received, ready to take off." Zhou Hai took a deep breath, turned the rudder to the right, and steered the War Eagle to turn into runway one.
The sky was covered with clouds, and there was a depressing atmosphere.
"boom!"
After sliding into Runway No. 1, the roar of the engine suddenly increased. The two WS-17 'Minshan' turbofan engines burst out with surging power. The tail nozzle showed a sharp orange-red tail flame. The entire aircraft had a silver-gray appearance. -15c The Falcon accelerated forward like a wild horse.
A strong pushing feeling acted on Zhou Hai.
At this moment, everyone is paying attention.
accelerate!
accelerate!
accelerate!
After taxiing for more than 200 meters, the L-15C Falcon reached the take-off threshold of 220 kilometers per hour. The nose of the aircraft was slightly raised, and its body was as light as a butterfly, breaking away from the constraints of the concrete runway surface and facing the sky.
"It's time for me to go."
On the ground, Yang Xiaolong, standing outside the No. 20 apron, watched the war eagle take off successfully. He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, said something to deputy captain Lei Qiang, and turned around to leave.
Lei Qiang nodded without saying a word, quietly looking at the gray sky.
Today is not a good weather.
"Call the tower. No. 109 has reached the predetermined altitude and target airspace. Please perform basic maneuver drills for solo missions." Staying alone in the cockpit, Zhou Hai held the joystick and maintained a steady climb. After observing the flight altitude parameters, the pressure lever changed Go out and report to the tower.
Altitude 1,500, speed 380.
Located due east of the tower, below is the urban area with endless residential buildings.
"No. 109, permission to carry out the drill." The female controller sat upright on the seat, her eyes looking through the tower window at the steady L-15C Falcon in the sky, and gave instructions with a voice as clear as an oriole.
After receiving the instruction, Zhou Hai responded: "Received on the 109th." After saying this, he stared ahead, pressed the stick and rudder skillfully, and performed a series of operations.
Basic flight movements are the cornerstone of flying freely in the sky. They must be mastered in the initial training aircraft, advanced training aircraft, and the stage of modification for the next group.
In the gloomy and dark sky, the L-15C Falcon, which kept flying smoothly, turned sharply to the left like a nimble swift, showing its excellent flight performance and practicing five basic flight movements.
Turn left, turn right, climb, dive, and roll. Zhou Hai has repeated the entire set of basic actions thousands of times. In less than 20 seconds, the action drill ended with the silver war eagle rolling 360 degrees clockwise.
At the same time, the dynamic flight data is transmitted to the tower data receiving terminal through the universal data link, and is inspected and reviewed by the solo flight performance recording officer.
Swift and standard.
"Call the tower. The basic movement drill is completed. Please proceed with the basic tactical movement drill." Zhou Hai looked calm and followed the standard procedure to carry out the next operation and call the tower again.
The female controller immediately replied: "No. 109, permission to conduct the drill."
"Full marks for basic flight maneuvers."
Next to him, a major officer wearing a military high-power optical telescope around his neck carefully checked the dynamic flight data displayed on the screen and gave it a score.
"Boom!" The roar of the engine lingered over the airport and spread all around.
As Zhou Hai responded, the L-15C Falcon, which was maintaining a steady flight, raised its head and climbed upwards, flying into the front part of Gao Youyou's maneuver like a proficient expert. High flight overload always enveloped the aircraft body and Zhou Hai.
The basic tactical drill for solo flight in higher education includes a total of four movements - high and low, oblique somersault, horizontal figure and Yin Mailman. Each maneuver has great practical significance and requires solo students to master the essentials of the movements, and each movement has its own characteristics. Keep pauses to a minimum and allow three mistakes.
Of course, this is just a normal standard. If you want to get full marks, you must make no mistakes, strictly follow the movement specifications, and connect the movements smoothly and freely.
"Let the world witness your true charm." Zhou Hai said slowly with his eyes full of energy, clearly feeling the war eagle beneath him.
Today is the day to fly solo.
He wants to show everyone his true strength and the true charm of the L-15C Falcon.
In an instant, the silver-gray cone-shaped nose resembled a long sword, with bursts of chill all over its body, piercing the sky. At high speed, its swept-back wings tore through the dense air, providing ample lift.
The entire L-15C Falcon climbed in an extreme and standard attitude, with movements as fast as thunder, and rolled in a circle with the cockpit facing downwards. With the attitude of a king, it overlooked the Shicheng Feiyuan embedded in the center of the city like a pearl.
this moment,
Fierce and domineering!
It looks like an eagle soaring on the top of the sky, showing its intention to look down on the world.
In a very short period of time, it climbed to the top, and then traded height for speed. Without showing any signs of sloppiness, it pulled out the extreme trajectory within the flight envelope and swept downwards.
