Chapter 233 Steps for Aircraft Carrier Landing

233 aircraft carrier landing steps

Time passed day by day.

Chen Fei's training was intense and fulfilling.

Everyone first learns some relevant knowledge about carrier-based aircraft landing.

The purpose of teaching this subject is a female teacher in her 30s, who is gentle, amiable and feminine.

"Comrades, today we are going to learn a very important knowledge in carrier-based aircraft landing, the light assistance of aircraft carrier landing."

"Everyone knows that it is not an easy task for a carrier-based aircraft to land on a short and narrow inclined deck. In order to ensure the safe and accurate landing of the aircraft, some technical measures must be taken to help the pilots observe and land. This is the aircraft carrier Fresnel lens optical landing aid system. Can any student tell us about the history of this system?"

"Report!" A student rushed to raise his hand.

"Okay, let's talk about it!"

"Reporting to the instructor, in the 60s, the British invented the Fresnel lens optical landing aid system. Now, this system has become a necessary landing aid for aircraft carriers. This landing aid mirror consists of a deck edge device, a power supply and a control board. Composition, placed on a stable platform on the port side in the middle of the flight deck of the aircraft carrier, to ensure that the light beam emitted by the lens is not affected by the swing of the aircraft carrier."

"Very good! It seems that everyone has done a solid job in previewing!" The teacher nodded with satisfaction: "Then, who will talk about the structure and composition of this system?"

"report!"

"Okay, tell me!"

"The lens-type optical landing aid mirror deck edge device is composed of a light indicator, a pitch servo driver, a fixed reference light, an adjustment reference light, and a landing prohibition light. form a beam.

If this light beam appears above the reference light, it means that the approaching aircraft's glide angle is too large; if it appears under the reference light, it means that the approaching aircraft's glide angle is too small.

It usually consists of 4 groups of lights, and a light box is arranged vertically in the middle, emitting 5 layers of light beams through the lens.

Among the 5 layers of light beams, there is an orange light beam in the middle, yellow and red light beams up and down, and green reference light beams on both sides.

When the carrier-based aircraft descends, the carrier-based aircraft pilot observes the landing assist mirror, if it sees an orange light, it can accurately land on the ship; if it sees a yellow beam, it means that the aircraft is too high and needs to descend; If you see a red light beam, it means that the plane is too low and needs to go up, otherwise it will hit the stern of the aircraft carrier; if you see a green light, it means that the plane is leaning to the left or right, and the horizontal position needs to be adjusted.

These lights are controlled by the landing pilots. On the pilot platform on the port side at the rear of the ship, they observe the positions of the landing planes, landing gear, flaps, tail hooks, etc. in division of labor. They communicate with the pilots while manipulating the light signals.

There is a main flight control room at the left rear of the upper part of the ship island. A flight controller monitors the situation on the flight deck and in the air, and makes the final check on the safety of the ship and aircraft.

The Fresnel lens-type landing aid mirror is simple and reliable, and is easy for carrier-based aircraft pilots to master.

The landing of carrier-based aircraft has changed from relying solely on the personal superb driving skills of the pilots to being completely automatically controlled by computers, with very high accuracy and high precision. This is a technological leap and the result of technological accumulation. "

After the student finished answering, he still glanced at Fade Chen and his Dragon Squadron in a demonstrative manner.

Fade Chen, Li Donghai and the others looked at each other, shrugging their shoulders, helpless.

At this time, two-thirds of the people regarded them as opponents, and all they could think about was how to compare them, so a good competitive atmosphere quickly formed in the student team. I rushed, and even had to fight to answer questions.

In this atmosphere, Shenlong Squadron seemed to be gradually suppressed, because they had very few opportunities to answer questions, and others always rushed ahead.

Seeing this result, the other students became even more excited, thinking that the Shenlong Squadron had lost its former aura.

However, what no one knows is that for Chen Fei and the others, these things have already been mastered, and they are no longer very interested.

However, Chen Fei and the others still listened carefully. On the one hand, it is to strengthen the memory, because although you know some things, you have not yet formed an instinct in your bones, especially the piloting of a carrier-based aircraft is different from other fighter jets, and you must form an instinct. , so everyone listens carefully to every class.

Secondly, when teaching relevant knowledge, every teacher will combine his own experience and experiences, as well as those of other pilots, to make appropriate explanations, and even give some failure cases!

These things are not possessed by the pilots of Shenlong Squadron, so everyone is very focused and not half-hearted.

After finishing the basic knowledge, the instructor began to talk about the procedure of aircraft carrier landing.

"Many students think that the most important equipment for landing on an aircraft carrier is the arresting cable. As long as the arresting cable can be hooked, the landing will be successful. In fact, this thing is not the most important thing, or it is not the most important thing.

Let's talk about the process of carrier-based aircraft landing on an aircraft carrier today, in order. "The teacher looked around and explained carefully. After speaking, she opened the PPT.

"First of all, the first thing is that carrier-based aircraft need to obey the aircraft carrier's air traffic control procedures when landing on the aircraft carrier. Enter the glide slope according to the fixed route.

The first aircraft carrier landing facility to be mentioned here is the air traffic control system.The core of this system is mainly air traffic control radar and air traffic control console. "

The instructor made full use of multimedia, combined graphics and text, matched video and data, and explained carefully.

After that, she said: "Let's introduce the second step of carrier aircraft landing, using the air traffic controller to use the air traffic control radar to arrange the landing order and divide the landing route for the carrier aircraft.

When the carrier-based aircraft flies along the glide slope, two systems will be used here, the optical landing aid system and the electronic landing aid system.

The optical landing aid system is a very complicated linkage system, and the entire lighting part will be installed on a huge gimbal. We have just introduced this system in detail.The system will constantly measure the aircraft carrier's pitch angle and left and right tilt angle, and then adjust the angle of the lighting part.

Unlike what everyone imagines, the optical landing aid system itself does not use different colors of light to pave a descent path for the carrier-based aircraft.From the perspective of the carrier aircraft, it is just a small light spot that changes color.

Everyone watched this video. At this time, the carrier-based aircraft was very far away from the aircraft carrier. Everyone said, can we still see the small bright spot on the port side of the aircraft carrier?It's hard.

Therefore, our current carrier-based aircraft are basically based on electronic landing assistance systems, supplemented by optical landing assistance systems. Okay, let's take a look at the cockpit. "

After finishing the second step, the instructor drank his saliva and began to talk about the last step: "Finally, the plane lands, and the most important thing is the arresting wire.

Although the arresting line looks like four ropes on the ground.In fact, below the deck is a large set of systems. "

Chen Fei listened attentively.

These things he could not know when he was studying by himself or looking up information, especially those videos were shot from the Liaoning ship, and it was impossible to see them elsewhere. Therefore, after listening to this lesson carefully, his In my mind, the voice of the system rang.

[You listen attentively, learn with your heart, carrier-based aircraft piloting experience +8, you are one step closer to intermediate-level carrier-based aircraft pilots! 】
