"The action of pushing the throttle should be steady and crisp, and it should be done in one go. After the ground speed reaches the take-off speed, pull the stick decisively to raise the nose of the aircraft."
After the tower allowed No. 037 J-7EGGHS to take off, Li Hai reminded Zhan Yuntian like this.
"Understood." Zhan Yuntian took a deep breath and then pushed the throttle lever to the end.
Another small solo flight test between No. 037 J-7EGGHS and her new disciples began. She accelerated with great force, accelerating bravely along the runway built according to the characteristics of tropical monsoon climate and tropical island environment.
The feeling of pushing against the back is unparalleled, and it is especially obvious to Zhan Yuntian who is controlling the fighter in the front cabin at this time. He simply couldn't imagine the thrust of a single-engine light fighter. In previous training, he had never pushed the throttle to the maximum position. He usually followed the principle of "80% power and takeoff" required by Li Hai.
Even Li Hai is not very clear about how powerful the No. 037 J-7EGGH is because he has never driven the aircraft's afterburner. The so-called afterburner refers to the thrust that the afterburner can provide after operation. Civilian aircraft use engines without afterburners, which means they lack an afterburner.
Li Hai observed Zhan Yuntian's movements carefully. When he became a teacher for the first time, he felt unsure. Strictly speaking, he himself is still a new member. The training syllabus clearly stipulates that new recruits must complete advanced-level combat training before they can independently perform tasks.
Until now, Li Hai has not received advanced level combat training.
However, he was confident about the standards for bringing Zhao Feiyan and Zhan Yuntian to the Flying Shark Growth Class. As time went by, he became more and more confident. Moreover, during the teaching process, he gained a deeper understanding of flying technology.
Now, his psychological quality is as solid as a rock, not only because he has experienced hardships and dangers, but also because he has an in-depth understanding of flying technology.
Since it has been modified according to the standards of a training aircraft, the rear cabin of the No. 037 J-7EGGHS naturally has a control system, and the instrument panel is almost the same as the front cabin. It can be seen that the improvements carried out by the No. 037 J-7EGGHS are a major project.
After Li Hai confirmed that the plane was climbing normally, he took out a small book to record several key data when Zhan Yuntian took off. These will be used as the main basis for the tie.
"Retract the landing gear." Zhan Yuntian said after glancing at the altitude.
Li Hai confirmed that the status was normal and said, "The landing gear can be retracted."
Once in the sky, the students in the front cabin need to obey the instructor in the rear cabin for all operations, and the tower will only communicate with the instructor in the rear cabin.
Zhan Yuntian lifted the handle of the landing gear, retracted the front and rear landing gear, and closed the landing gear hatch. The aerodynamic layout of the aircraft reached the optimal level, and the airspeed suddenly climbed dozens of kilometers, which shocked Zhan Yuntian. .
He quickly closed the accelerator.
Li Hai didn't say anything and silently wrote it down in a small notebook.
"Keep the course and continue climbing to a sea height of 8,000 meters, which is the eighth hole." Li Hai said.
Zhan Yuntian glanced at the altimeter. At this time, the sea was 500 meters high, and it was 8,000 meters away, which was a long distance.
"Understood, keep heading and continue to climb eight holes." Zhan Yuntian repeated the instruction.
Li Hai once again issued the command, "Keep airspeed turning eight."
"Keep the airspeed at eight, got it." Zhan Yuntian had just adjusted the pitch angle and immediately adjusted the airspeed according to the new instructions.
Both flying an airplane and driving a car are driving. They actually have a lot in common in terms of airspeed, direction, and attitude changes.
Taking off immediately after starting and reversing into the warehouse after landing are the most difficult and important parts of the entire technical process.
In the past many years, the standard for new pilots to fly solo can basically be summed up in one sentence - being able to complete takeoffs and landings alone.
When the People's Air Force was first established, it was immediately involved in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea. Many pilots generally had less than 100 flying hours, and most of them only had dozens of flying hours.
The current training syllabus requires that each pilot must fly no less than 200 hours per year. In other words, if the entire flying career lasts about 20 years according to the minimum requirements of the training syllabus, the total flying hours will reach 4,000 hours by the time of grounding.
This standard is X times higher than before.
In other words, nowadays, the requirements for combat pilots are getting higher and higher. From pure cannon-to-bomb air combat to the current joint air confrontation, pilots have to master more and more skills and need more flying hours. Do more types of training.
However, no matter what happens in the sky, as long as you are flying a plane, it will always land. In an era of extreme shortage of troops, every aircraft is extremely valuable. We require pilots to first consider flying the aircraft back.
Just like the old Army infantry units 20 years ago, the machine gunners and 40 firemen did not have their own weapons. If the machine gunners and 40 firemen were sacrificed, their weapons would be the weapons of their mates.
It's cruel, but you can't help it.
In the current environment, after overcoming the psychological barriers to the No. 037 J-7EGGHS, Li Hai's thinking is very clear - no matter how legendary the fighter is, as long as she continues to fight on the front line, she is an ordinary member. , you will face the risk of battle damage at any time.
What needs more attention is actually whether the front cabin students can get something from her that they can't get on other fighters.
For example, a very important feeling, the feeling of flying.
After finding that Zhan Yuntian's control movements seemed stiff, Li Hai couldn't help but remind him, "Based on the instrument, find the feeling of flying, and put your eyes and thoughts in the same direction and the same distance. Feel it slowly, you You will find that the current state of ups and downs will disappear."
The nose of the No. 037 J-7EGGHS goes up and down, and from a distance it looks like it is nodding its head. This is because Zhan Yuntian was never able to maintain the pitch angle, and his focus was on airspeed, because the airspeed required by Li Hai was 780 kilometers per hour.
Paying attention to one thing and not the other is a common problem among novices. As long as they cannot take care of both, the pressure will increase sharply, and they will become nervous, which will lead to more mistakes.
Li Hai stopped reminding him and concentrated on observing Zhan Yuntian's every maneuver. The purpose of the short assessment is to pick out the details. In modern air combat, where victory or defeat can be determined in an instant, a small excessive or inappropriate action may cost you a fleeting opportunity.
This was Zhan Yuntian's first flight that he independently controlled since takeoff. After a lot of effort, he finally climbed to an altitude of 8,000 meters according to Li Hai's instructions. This height is the limit height of the troops' daily training airspace.
The air was very thin and the temperature was very low. On the support rod of the nose landing gear which was tightly covered by the hatch cover, fingerprints slowly appeared on the small area touched by Li Hai. Sweat stains left traces on the support rods, which became more and more obvious as they went from high temperature to low temperature in a very short period of time.
From 40 degrees Celsius above zero to minus 40 degrees Celsius, a temperature difference of up to 80 degrees Celsius is a huge challenge for both aircraft and the human body. Theoretically, at an altitude of more than 7,000 meters, the metabolism of the human body will be seriously affected.
The heroic captain is unreservedly praised by the industry. A large part of the reason is that in an environment where he was definitely incapacitated, he not only maintained control of the aircraft, but none of his subsequent control actions was excessive or inappropriate. , completed an emergency backup that cannot be found in textbooks.
At this altitude, Li Hai became a little nervous. He concentrated on Zhan Yuntian's control movements and the status of the aircraft. He made up his mind that as long as he thought he wanted to take over the control of the aircraft, he would do it neatly. He exercised his authority beyond his authority and directly took over the control of the aircraft...
