"Yes, standard landing procedures are being implemented, leaving the holding route and entering the scheduled landing route. The altitude is reduced to 350 meters and the speed is reduced to 162 knots per hour."
As the order was issued, the sharp-eye helmet lenses displayed the latest landing information, including the distance and speed of the aircraft carrier. Zhou Hai looked calm and carried out a series of operations in an orderly manner according to standard landing procedures, continuing to slow down and lower the altitude until the predetermined target was reached.
The first step in the landing process of a carrier-based aircraft is to enter the scheduled landing route.
The fighter jets preparing to land entered the scheduled landing route, 10 kilometers away from the aircraft carrier, dropped to an altitude of 350 meters, and reduced their speed to 162 knots per hour, about 300 kilometers per hour.
Movements are gentle and postures are steady.
The entire descent was smooth without any bumps.
Thirty seconds later, the entire J-15C dropped from an altitude of 3,000 meters to an altitude of 350 meters, flew above the sea at a speed of 300 kilometers per hour, and flew steadily towards the No. 003 aircraft carrier directly ahead.
On the blue sea, the aircraft carrier No. 003, which was previously like a black pixel, became closer and closer, breaking through the visual distance, and its outline gradually expanded, showing its full picture.
Magnificent, spectacular, atmospheric.
The No. 003 aircraft carrier sailing on the sea is like a giant on the sea, exuding a majestic momentum. A bright red five-star red flag is slowly fluttering on the top of the bridge pole.
This is the aircraft carrier No. 003 in the virtual world, and the aircraft carrier No. 003 in the real world is being manufactured at the Jiangnan Shipyard.
"It's so spectacular. This is our aircraft carrier, our No. 003 aircraft carrier."
Zhou Hai stared at the aircraft carrier No. 003 sailing in the simulator screen, and his heart couldn't help but feel proud and comfortable.
our aircraft carrier,
Our aircraft carrier No. 003!
"Zero, get ready to enter." At this time, Dai Minmeng's voice came.
"Zero received, ready to enter."
Hearing Dai Minmeng's reminder, Zhou Hai nodded in response, pressed the lever with his right hand, and reported while lowering the altitude: "The current distance is 6,500 meters, the speed is 162 knots, the altitude is ready to be lowered to 180 meters, call the ship island, No. 001 requests landing landing."
The second step in the landing process of a carrier-based aircraft is the approach stage before approach.
When 6,500 meters away from the aircraft carrier, the speed remains unchanged, the flight altitude needs to be reduced to 180 meters, and the flight attitude needs to be adjusted to maintain the level and heading. Always adjust the fuselage that has been deviated due to the influence of wind, and prepare to approach and land on the aircraft carrier island. Issue a landing request.
The fighter aircraft needs to be confirmed and approved by the ship island and granted landing permission before it can land on the ship.
This is a mandatory requirement and must be strictly followed. Otherwise, it will cause chaos in the landing process and lead to flight accidents.
"No. 001, this is the ship island. The current aircraft carrier speed is 30 knots, the wind speed is level 4, 5.5 meters per second, and the horizontal floating degree of the ship is 1 degree. Landing is allowed. The following is connected to the landing command station." In the airborne communication channel, An electronic synthesized voice came from the flight simulator system program, mechanical and cold, without any emotion, reporting a series of navigation parameters and passing the landing application, and immediately transferred to the landing command station.
During the landing phase of carrier-based aircraft, the ship island is mainly responsible for dispatching and commanding the carrier-based aircraft. The specific operations of landing guidance are handled by the landing command station.
One is in charge of the overall situation and the other is in charge of reality.
"No. 001 received. We are lowering the altitude and preparing to approach the site." Zhou Hai replied immediately, gently pushing the joystick forward with his right hand, gently and carefully, lowering the flight altitude with a gentle descent slope.
Soon, the No. 001 J-15C maintained a low glide rate, the flight altitude slowly dropped to 180 meters, and the speed remained unchanged.
When the fighter jet reached the landing height, Zhou Hai gently pulled the lever and controlled the J-15C to return to level flight, approaching the No. 003 aircraft carrier more than 5,000 meters away.
In the airborne encrypted communication channel, the voice of the landing commander of the flight simulator came out: "No. 001, this is the landing command platform. I am the landing commander on duty. The landing area has been cleared, and four blocking ropes have been set up. Finished, the glide angle of the current landing route is excellent, please maintain it, lower the tail hook and landing gear, and open the flaperons."
"No. 001 received, lowering the tail hook and landing gear, opening the flaperons." Zhou Hai looked calm and followed the instructions given by the landing commander. He clicked on the left multi-function display screen with his left hand and lowered the tail hook in sequence. and landing gear, and finally open the flaperons.
The J-15C was in low-altitude sea-skimming flight. The tail hook at the end of the tail was slowly lowered, the main and auxiliary landing gear protruded from the belly of the aircraft, and the ailerons and flaps of the left and right main wings were opened.
Everything is ready.
In the simulator, the screen is constantly changing. The J-15C, guided by the landing command platform, is getting closer and closer to the majestic No. 003 aircraft carrier like a mountain.
5000 meters.
4000 meters.
3000 meters.
2000 meters.
Outside the cabin, the atmosphere was tense.
All members of the carrier-based aircraft training team had serious faces, holding their breath, not even daring to take a breath, and all their attention was focused on the constantly changing big screen.
Watching the No. 001 J-15C controlled by Zhou Hai getting closer and closer to the No. 003 aircraft carrier, the strings hanging in everyone's hearts became tighter.
nervous.
expect.
There is also a hint of longing.
If the difficulty of the previous take-off phase of the electric bomb was 10, then the difficulty of the ongoing interception and landing operation of the carrier-based aircraft is 100.
Can our acting captain do it?
At this moment, everyone was highly concentrated, silently paying attention to Zhou Hai, silently hoping and encouraging in their hearts, and wishing Zhou Hai a successful first landing.
"No. 001, the altitude drops to 120 meters, the glide rate remains at 10 meters per second, and the approach angle is maintained at 15°." The landing commander, composed of a simulation program, issued instructions to Zhou Hai through the optical observation system and landing guidance radar Order.
"No. 001 understands and is executing." Zhou Hai responded, adjusted according to the order, lightly pressed the joystick, and controlled the fighter carefully and smoothly.
With its nose down, the entire J-15C lowered its altitude at a glide rate of 10 meters per second, facing the No. 003 aircraft carrier that was maintaining a speed of 30 knots more than a thousand meters away.
A few seconds later, the altitude was 120 and the speed was 300.
The current distance from the aircraft carrier is 1,200 meters and continues to shorten.
The landing command team located on the self-stabilizing platform on the port side of the aircraft carrier tracked and observed the flight attitude and movement data of the J-15C No. 001 in real time, confirmed that all conditions met the landing conditions, and immediately used the Fresnel optical landing assist system to indicate permission to descend. green reference light fixed light.
Four groups of white lights on the horizontal axis, a green reference light fixed light and an orange light emitted by the vertical axis Fresnel lens light box. Three groups of lights of different colors form complex optical information and are transmitted to the J-15C together.
This set of optical information represents - allowed to slide!
Sitting in the cockpit, Zhou Hai could clearly see the optical information transmitted from the Fresnel optical landing assist system, with three groups of white, green and orange lights dazzling.
"On approach for landing."
To report the current situation, he stepped on the rudder with his whole foot, pushed the joystick forward with his right hand, and controlled the fighter plane to maintain a landing angle of 15° to face the deck landing runway hundreds of meters away. He held the throttle valve tightly with his left hand and was ready to land at any time. Push and open the afterburner to prepare.
