Chapter 351 The Charm of Night Flight

Tonight's night flight training is simple.

You just need to fly the plane in the sky for an hour according to the set route.

Then all you have to do is successfully land the plane on the runway.

So the three J-7 trainers circled Bengbu twice and then prepared to return.

The first thing to do when returning on a night flight is to find the airport.

The runway is visible.

what?
Don’t all modern aircraft have blind landing systems?

Since we already have a blind landing system.

Do pilots still need to have visual sight of the runway before landing?

In fact, the blind landing system is not that "magical" and can only play an auxiliary role at most.

No matter how intelligent or advanced the aircraft is, the pilot must visually find the airport runway before landing.

The blind landing system can only play a certain auxiliary role in conditions of poor visibility such as heavy fog or at night.

If the pilot relies entirely on the ILS system.

That would be irresponsible to yourself, to your unit (military unit, airline), and to everyone else.

Technology is getting more advanced.

The most reliable thing is still the human eye.

not to mention.

The JJ-7 is not a truly modern aircraft.

There is no such thing as blind landing.

"Hunter Falcon, you can go to the second level, California Condor, the fourth level, and the Donkey from Guizhou, you are the last."

In the communication channel.

Liang Zhenghong's voice rang out.

Whether it is the J-7 or J-8, they have to make several turns and circles over the airport when landing.

The purpose of this is to allow the pilot to visually see the runway location.

This is what is called 'three sides' and 'five sides'.

Because when the plane is landing, the pilot has almost no way to look down from the nose of the plane, and can only look down from the wings sideways.

As the plane circles and turns around the airport, the pilot can determine the runway location multiple times.

It is almost exactly the same as the landing procedure of a civil airliner.

But if it is a more advanced third-generation, fourth-generation aircraft, etc.

Then it doesn't have to be so complicated.

Just land directly.

"Falcon received."

"California condor received."

In the headphones.

The voices of Liu Jingdong and Wang Xianyun rang out one after another.

Jiang Chen glanced at the flashing navigation light on the lower right, and immediately replied, "The Donkey from Qianzhi received it."

Wait until the distant navigation light completes the turn.

He also pressed the lever forward slightly.

While descending in altitude, the aircraft also began to slow down.

Then put your left foot on the left rudder and push the joystick to the left.

The aircraft drifted slightly to the left, completing the left turn.

After completing the turn, he was just above and to the right of the airport runway.

Three more turns need to be completed before aligning with the airport runway.

further away.

The lights in downtown BB are bright.

This historic 'Pearl City' seems to have been reborn.

overhead.

The bright moonlight is soft.

Below!

Thousands of lights are bright.

So flying in the night sky is like sailing in the Milky Way. This is the charm of night flying.

Although there are certain risks, you can also enjoy the most beautiful scenery.

"I saw a point of view when I was surfing the Internet before, which said that the simplest and most direct way to know whether a country or region's economic situation is good or not is to fly a plane in the sky and observe the brightness of the lights on the ground to get the answer." Liu Yun also suddenly sighed.

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "No need to fly around, satellite images will do."

"There's a satellite picture online, a nighttime satellite picture of the Korean Peninsula. The North is completely dark, while the South is brightly lit. The contrast is very strong."

"Our country is similar," Liu Yun said with emotion. "The level of development in the southeastern coastal areas is not much different from those developed countries, but the western regions are much worse."

"Old Liu, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Take your time. It's amazing that we have developed to where we are today in just a few decades." Jiang Chen said.

Liu Yun laughed and scolded, "You kid are lecturing me instead. You are the one who is against Tian Gang."

"But I am just sighing. The country is indeed developing rapidly now. Let's not talk about other things. Just look at the new equipment of the navy, army and air force. They are all like dumplings. Without economic support, how can there be so many new equipment?"

“So your generation has caught up with a good era.”

"It's nothing like us. When we were in the army, we felt like celebrating the New Year just by flying the J-7E."

"When you join the army in a few years, I guess our army has already started to change its equipment, such as J-10b/c, J-11b, J-16, J-20, and even the legendary J-31."

"Tsk tsk, just thinking about it makes me drool."

"Especially you, you have already been a member of the 'Wang Hai Squadron'. It is said that the 'Wang Hai Squadron' is the first unit of our army equipped with the J-20 Vily Dragon. Your graduation is just in time for the replacement of equipment."

"Fuck you, how can you be so lucky that you can fly the J-20 right after graduation?"

Liu Yun became angrier as he spoke.

He wanted to clench his fists and punch Jiang Chen twice.

Jiang Chen grinned and laughed silently.

It is no secret that the "Wang Hai Brigade" has replaced its equipment with the J-20 Vily Dragon.

And the time was either 2015 or 2016.

Even if Jiang Chen's application to skip a grade was approved by the college, he would graduate in July 2015 at the earliest.

After that, they will receive another year of base training.

The earliest time for him to join the troops was 2016.

Just in time for the Wang Hai Squadron to be equipped with J-20.
Ok.

It turns out that it is better to graduate at the right time than to graduate early.

"I heard from my master that after this busy period, the 'Wang Hai Squadron' will indeed begin modification training and prepare to accept the J-20 on a small scale. However, the Japanese and the Americans have been very active during this period, so we will have to wait until next year at the earliest."

Jiang Chen said, "It is not that simple for the army to modify a new weapon, especially a newly developed high-tech weapon. It needs to be tested first and experience accumulated before it can be promoted on a large scale."

"So it is estimated that it will take until after 2017 for the aircraft to be put into service and become combat-ready."

"But I heard that Sister Pomegranate has already started to equip the troops on a small scale. I don't know if it's true or not."

Liu Yun was stunned. "Sister Pomegranate?"

"J-16." Jiang Chen said.

"When did the J-16 get the nickname 'Sister Pomegranate'?" Liu Yun asked.

in his impression.

'Sister Pomegranate' is a delicate flower.

It's not appropriate to use it to describe a tall and strong man like the J-16.

"The J-16 has 'Sixteen' in its name, so netizens nicknamed it 'Sister Pomegranate'." Jiang Chen explained with a smile.

刘赟
Ok.

On imagination.

They have to be netizens.

"Donkey from Guizhou, stop talking nonsense." Liang Zhenghong's voice suddenly rang out in the communication channel, "You can transfer to the fourth shift now."

Jiang Chen quickly collected his thoughts and said, "Got it."

in the dark.

The J-7 trainer completed a turn quickly.

One minute later.

The second turn has also been completed.

Jiang Chen immediately released the landing gear.

Then he gently turned the operating lever to complete the last turn.

When the nose of the plane turned completely, Jiang Chen just happened to see two rows of bright runway lights in the distance below.

Like a lighthouse, it showed him the way.
