On the tower, He Qiang was not surprised by Li Hai's operation.
Today and in the past, there have been great changes in the training model. One of the more obvious changes is the focus on cultivating pilots' personalized combat capabilities.
In short, in the past, when flying, the route, flight altitude, speed, etc. were determined and the movements were fixed. After the pilot got up, he would fly according to this set. He could not arbitrarily change the flight parameters and flight movements.
Now it has been relaxed a lot.
The fundamental reason is that the Supreme Command requires that "all training be closer to actual combat."
Will the enemy follow your prescribed actions?
Obviously it is impossible. Therefore, the pilot's emergency handling ability is very important, which requires training in this aspect during daily training.
The Haiba Division adopted a new training method a few years ago. Simply put, an airspace is designated and mission aircraft are not allowed to enter without the approval of the troops. This is the training airspace, and it is long-term.
Moreover, people often temporarily enter civil aviation space for flight training, so people find that large-scale delays in civil aviation flights caused by air control due to military activities are often encountered.
However, with the advancement of air control technology and the optimization of air activity management by the Air Force, even if military activities cause delays to civil aviation flights, the delay time is getting shorter and shorter.
Of course, major military activities are still the same, and they are controlled for more than ten hours at every turn.
In short, Li Haibiao rushing to the training airspace at supersonic speed is nothing at all.
However, He Qiang suddenly saw from the radar that Li Hai actually made a sharp turn and flew back towards the station!
He quickly called Li Hai, "Dongguai, is there something wrong?"
Le Hai's action was a typical emergency return.
Li Hai's tone was a bit angry, as if he was controlling something, "Tower, I have an emergency and need to return to the scene immediately. Over."
He Qiang's nerves were all tense. Could it be that after inheriting his master's mantle, this kid also inherited his master's bad luck?
Will you encounter danger when taking off?
"Be ready for emergency rescue immediately!" He Qiang quickly ordered the deputy beside him.
Liu Chengjun, who was flying with him, had already heard it. Without saying a word, he immediately increased the throttle to catch up with Li Hai and observe the appearance of No. 07 J-11B.
"Dongguai, there is nothing abnormal about your appearance. Please do a self-examination." Liu Chengjun said.
At this time, He Qiang also saw from the monitor that the situation of No. 07 J-11B was normal and there was no malfunction. The status of each fighter plane can be directly reflected on the monitor, and the ground can keep track of the latest situation at any time. This is the advancement in training methods brought about by the technological revolution.
However, He Qiang knew that the surveillance system could not 100% reflect the entire situation of the fighter plane. The pilot was the one who knew the status of the fighter plane best.
There was a close call.
Not long after a Flying Leopard took off on a night flight, the crew immediately returned and reported a mechanical failure. However, the surveillance system showed that everything was normal.
The situation at that time was similar to that of Le Hai now, shortly after taking off and climbing to cruising altitude.
Later, after the Feibao landed, the mechanical inspection lasted all night before the problem was discovered - a broken nut caused the body to vibrate abnormally, and the surveillance system did not detect it.
And that dangerous incident made He Qiang break into a cold sweat, because among the subjects that the Flying Leopard was going to perform that night, there were several large overload maneuvers. If the crew had not been keenly aware of the slight abnormal tremor of the fighter plane and continued to train as planned. ,The consequences could be disastrous.
Don't underestimate a broken nut. Under heavy overload maneuvers, any small hidden danger will be magnified and cause a serious accident!
With this lesson in mind, He Qiang did not blindly trust the surveillance system, but unconditionally chose to trust the pilot's judgment!
This batch of J-11Bs of the Eighth Hai Division are old, and they are modified J-10AHs with front and rear legs. When used very intensively, the lifespan of the aircraft is consumed much faster than planned.
If the designed service life of the aircraft is twenty years, the Nanhai Guards of the Eighth Hai Division can work them until they are scrapped in twelve or three years. The fact that they can be used for more than twenty years is due to the maintenance of the aircraft.
At this time, Li Hai's voice was very strange. He said, "There is no problem with the plane. I have an emergency..."
No. 07 J-11B flew at a speed of 1.8 times Mach, which scared He Qiang to the point of breaking into a cold sweat. It seemed that the situation was serious, and Li Hai was very worried!
The maintenance team responsible for supporting No. 07 J-11B was about to withdraw and take a rest. When he heard these situations through the headphones, he was immediately frightened and hurried back to the outfield, nervously waiting for Li Hai to land.
They repeatedly reviewed every detail of the support, and then reported to the crew chief: "There were no problems or oversights!"
"Wait until the plane lands." The crew chief looked very unhappy.
When the plane is in the sky, it may encounter anything. The ground support work can be 100%, but there is no guarantee that the plane will not have problems.
I hope it’s not a maintenance problem!
In fact, everyone had only one thought in their minds at this time - Li Hai came back safely, even if the plane was no longer needed, the person had to come down intact.
Liu Chengjun, who was flying with him, was puzzled. He decisively threw away all the auxiliary fuel tanks and went full throttle to chase Li Hai. If the auxiliary fuel tank is not thrown away, it will not be able to fly at the top speed of Mach 1.8, no matter what kind of fighter it is.
The location where Li Hai turned around and returned was only fifty kilometers away from the station. At this distance, when Liu Chengjun caught up to visual distance, Li Hai had already entered the land airspace.
"Secure the planes at all surrounding airports! Clear the airspace!" He Qiang ordered decisively.
Immediately, the combat staff quickly contacted the Air Force regional air traffic control. The Air Force regional air traffic control immediately gave an order to all airports within a fifty-kilometer radius of Shuilingchang Station, requiring them to immediately stop taking off any aircraft and to immediately allow all aircraft in the area to leave the controlled airspace.
This is the first wave of arrivals and departures at Wuya Airport since nightfall.
The time point of around eight o'clock in the evening is the preferred departure time for tourists who have finished their tour, and it is also the preferred entry time for tourists traveling to Wuya.
During these two hours, Wuya Airport usually has a flight in and out every five minutes, that is, one flight in and one flight out. Its business was once as busy as Guangzhou Baiyun Airport, Shanghai Pudong Airport, and BJ Capital Airport. Three major airports.
Even so, when the Air Force regional air traffic control order arrived, Wuya Airport's ground control was immediately and unconditionally implemented. The approach station immediately allowed incoming flights to avoid the controlled airspace and circle and wait in the designated airspace at sea, allowing the flights that had already taken off to accelerate. Climb away.
This emergency mechanism does not know how many times it has been rehearsed or executed, so it is very fast.
In fact, the civil aviation airports next to the Air Force stations have long been accustomed to such sudden control orders. As civil aviation, they must absolutely obey the orders of the Air Force Regional Air Traffic Control Center.
At this time, there were no aircraft other than him and Liu Chengjun in the active airspace that Li Hai was about to enter. In fact, if he knew that it caused such a big fuss, he didn't know whether it would be better to cry or laugh.
While the maintenance team was waiting anxiously, J-11B No. 07 appeared, with a very fast descent rate and a very fast speed. At the same time, the emergency rescue team composed of fire trucks, ambulances, etc. began to sound their sirens and speed along the taxiway towards the end of the runway.
The maintenance team also drove a car to follow. After the pilot was safe, they had to deal with the situation of the fighter plane as soon as possible. It was bought with the hard-earned money of the people!
From the outside, there is nothing unusual about the No. 07 J-11B, and there is nothing wrong with Li Hai’s landing posture, except for the high descent rate and fast speed.
Of course, this is not a problem. It is a good thing that people with good skills are bold and can achieve a large rate of descent and a large speed. This has practical significance.
The canopy was opened, and the boarding ladder was immediately put up. Medical staff were waiting anxiously below, and the stretcher was ready. The officers and soldiers of the fire truck jumped out of the car and looked at the fine fighter planes. They were stunned for a moment - there is no use for us!
At this time, several people from the maintenance team drove over.
Li Hai almost jumped down from the boarding ladder, holding his stomach when he landed. The aviation doctor immediately stepped forward and asked with concern, "Captain Li, where are you injured? What's uncomfortable? Walk around and get in the car!"
"Wait! I'm fine!" Li Hai said bitterly. Suddenly he saw the crew's car arriving. He immediately ran over with his butt between his legs and said anxiously, "Quick! I have diarrhea!"
The mechanical sergeant driving the car didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
"Let's go! Find the toilet! The nearest toilet!" Li Hai said in pain, sweating profusely.
The mechanical sergeant immediately stepped on the accelerator and rushed to the flight briefing room, where the toilet was closest!
It took a while before the crew leader came back to his senses. He looked at Li Hai in disbelief and asked softly, "Captain Li, you made an emergency return, was it because you had a stomachache?"
"Yes!" Li Hai said painfully.
As he spoke, he arrived at the flight briefing room. Before the car stopped, Li Hai kicked the door and jumped out of the car. He scurried into the flight briefing room like a rabbit and went straight to the toilet. Then everyone heard a loud bang on the door. The sound of falling.
The mechanical sergeant was stunned, "What did Captain Li eat?"
The crew chief said in a deep voice, "No matter what he ate, the cooking team will be miserable for a long time..."
"Cooking Class..." Everyone immediately observed a moment of silence for the Cooking Class.
The pilot made an emergency return due to a stomach upset, which caused such an own incident. Regardless of the own incident, just because the pilot had a stomachache, the station's cooking class could not escape a serious rectification!
Food is fighting power!
This is especially true for pilots, especially fighter pilots, because fighter jets don’t have toilets! At least the bomber has a toilet for emergencies like this!
When pilots are in the sky, they need to ensure sufficient physical strength and energy, and also ensure that they do not suffer from diarrhea, abdominal pain and other minor problems that ordinary people often encounter. Therefore, there are strict regulations on what ingredients to use and how to cook them!
You don’t just eat whatever you want!
You don’t just drink whatever you want!
At least Li Hai has not drank carbonated drinks even though he has been on the ship for several months.
He Qiang and Liu Chengjun soon knew the reason. They didn't know whether it was better to cry or laugh!
Rectify! Rectify the cooking class! (End of chapter)
