The countdown to boarding the ship is 15 days.

Li Zhan did not continue the flight training and gave up his precious time to the other eight pilots. He was not among the eight pilots, but there was no doubt that he would definitely be on the ship.

His focus is on training landing commanders and ground crews. Each landing commander is served by a pilot in turn, and a rotation system is adopted. This principle should not have a big impact after boarding the ship.

Changes. Conducting guidance training for pilots who take turns serving as landing commanders can also improve pilots' landing capabilities.

The tacit cooperation between pilots and landing commanders can greatly improve the success rate of landings.

On the other hand, it is the training of ground crews. Although we can learn from the experience of the US military through public information, it requires a lot of work to transform it into our own things. We must have our own thinking during use. This also requires people with rich flight experience.

Commanders bring training.

Commander-in-Chief Zhang focused on the ship landing training. He asked the security staff to install a camp bed in the flight tower and lived directly in the first training area. The commander-in-chief’s determination wiped away the low morale of the troops, and the general

Leading by example is more effective than any psychological counseling.

As the deputy chief instructor responsible for the most specific work, Li Zhan also settled down in the second training area and took on the responsibility of sprint training for ground staff. In addition to Han Hongjun, there was also an old friend with him——

The success of the Great Red Eagle Division.

Cheng Da is the latest batch of pilots selected from the Air Force. In the future, the proportion of carrier-based fighter pilots selected from the Air Force will gradually decrease until the Navy has a completely independent training capability for carrier-based pilots.

The Flying Shark troops are now making their final sprint. The training for the new flying shark has not yet begun. Li Zhan asked Cheng Da to follow him to familiarize himself with the situation, just like Han Hongjun.

"With such a small flight deck, a reinforced group of aircraft and ground crews responsible for these aircraft must be crammed into it. An effective flight deck work system is necessary. We referred to the experience of the U.S. Navy and basically copied it in the early days.

Then we make adjustments that suit our actual situation during practice.”

Li Zhan pointed to the ground crew who were busy training in the second training area and said, "Transportation and takeoff and landing are the two most important things here. Look at the vests they wear, each color represents a

Positions, you all have to learn them when training begins, and you must understand the responsibilities of everyone on the flight deck."

"Lao Li, we are not in a hurry. The army has such a heavy training task now, so you can leave us alone for now. If you can send us some work, you can focus on training first," Cheng Da said.

Li Zhan nodded slightly, "You guys first take a look and see if you are familiar with it. I will organize the training first."

After he went to organize the ground team to organize the training, Cheng Da and Han Hongjun walked outside the training area and stood there, watching the training and communicating. They finally caught the last train, and it would be even harder to enter the Flying Sharks in the future.

The Air Force will not let people go easily.

"Captain Cheng, I came here a few days earlier and have seen the landings of experienced pilots. I can't see how difficult it is. Do you feel the same way?" Han Hongjun said with doubts in his heart.

Cheng Da nodded and said, "Yes, I feel the same way. Mainly because we haven't started to touch this subject yet. The landing speed is at take-off speed, and the plane hits the deck, which looks more dangerous."

"Experienced pilots call landing on a ship an escape flight. When they find something is wrong, they immediately take off and go around. There is almost no runway to continue taxiing, so the aircraft must always maintain takeoff speed." Han Hongjun said, "But I still don't think it's very good.

Disaster."

Chengda smiled and said, "You won't think so after you fly once."

"It's not that I think landing on the ship is easy, but I didn't figure out what the difficulty is. This is a bad sign for future training." Han Hongjun said rather distressedly and glanced at Li Zhan, who was instructing the takeoff assistant.

He said helplessly, "Troubles have happened one after another in the army, and the captain is in a bad mood. I dare not tell him."

"I think his mood is quite stable," Cheng Da said.

Han Hongjun pointed to the sky. The weather was very good, with blue sky and white clouds. The wind, direction and cloud height were very suitable for flying. However, the flight training in the first training area had not started yet, and intense flight preparations were still in progress. He said,

"Did you hear about the recent accident where the flight control failed after the plane caught the cable?"

"Of course, the whole army has been notified." Cheng Da said.

Han Hongjun said in a deep voice, "The pilot who was involved in the accident was an old comrade of the captain's second division. It is still unknown whether he can continue flying after recovering from his injuries. This incident has dealt a great blow to the captain. Even if you don't think he has changed much, in fact, his psychology

The burden is heavy.”

"Lao Li, well, he just does everything by himself." Chengda said helplessly.

Li Zhan is actually not as fragile as they thought. He has experienced too many joys and sorrows, life and death, and the god of death has never left him. It has also always been with other combat pilots. Since he has chosen, he will fight bloody battles through thick and thin, and everyone will

With such mental preparation, there is nothing much to say.

The two first-batch prototype J-15s are equipped for ground support training in the second training area. In order to ensure that accidents like Zhang Xueyang’s do not occur in flight training, the first-batch prototypes will basically not be used.

Flight training has made the training of the ground team more realistic.

There are two groups of ground crews in the first training area, and there are two groups of ground crews in the second training area, which add up to four teams. Even so, there are still not enough qualified ground crews. The Navy has clear goals for the development of aircraft carrier combat forces.

According to the plan, the purpose of the first aircraft carrier has been determined - mainly for personnel training and testing of tactics and tactics. The domestically produced aircraft carrier will be launched and delivered in strict accordance with the time nodes. To quickly form combat effectiveness, the best way is to wait for human ships

, rather than Jian and others.

This shows how much pressure the Flying Sharks are under.

A dispatcher used hand gestures to direct a J-15 to move from the parking position to the take-off position, and then handed it over to the take-off assistant. The take-off assistant guided the pilot to control the fighter plane through hand gestures. Other ground staff quickly made preparations for take-off, including raising the spoilers.

, raised the wheel block, and after they completed their work and confirmed that there was no problem, they sent a gesture to the takeoff assistant. The takeoff assistant told the pilot through the gesture that everything was ready. The pilot prepared for takeoff, and then told the takeoff assistant that it was okay to take off. The takeoff assistants quickly squatted down and looked up.

After getting into the cockpit, the pilot gave a thumbs up to the takeoff assistant when the engine reached maximum thrust. The takeoff assistant pointed his right hand forward, lowered the wheel block, and the fighter began to taxi for takeoff.

The entire process basically relies on gestures and radio calls, of which gesture communication is the most fundamental and last resort. Radio communications are very busy during operation, and it is easy to miss or unclearly hear instructions.

Li Zhan looked at the ground staff at various positions moving like mechanical parts, and he thought of the training scene of the Second Artillery Corps launching missiles. He had seen the Second Artillery Corps' night-time launch training under light control.

The officers and soldiers strictly followed the operational requirements step by step. There were strict rules for how many steps to take in which direction and how many centimeters for each step. There were strict rules for how far and in what direction the hands should be stretched out, and how many turns the turntable should make in which direction. All these were strict rules.

, not even a centimeter off.

In total darkness, the launch preparation time should be consistent with daytime.

Careful people may notice when watching the military parade formations that in addition to the traditional formation aces such as the honor guard of the three services, the Dalian Naval Warship Academy formation, and the female militia formation, the formation with the best goose-stepping performance must have the second artillery in it.

Troops are on foot in formations, and their formation standards are related to the success or failure of missile launches, and they are usually very strict.

The army attaches great importance to queue training, but ordinary people think that queue training is an image project, and the gap in thinking is reflected here.

After watching several rounds of training, Li Zhan always felt that the takeoff assistant's gesture of "take off" was not very effective. From the pilot's point of view, although he could get a clear meaning of the gesture, he did not feel that powerful.

.

He walked to the position of takeoff assistant. The person in charge of teaching this position was a very senior ground instructor named Ling Wu Zesen from a certain department of the Navy. He was a fourth-term noncommissioned officer with thirteen years of service. The draft of the reform of the noncommissioned officer system basically did not change much.

It will be fully implemented in the next one or two years. The spring of sergeants is coming.

"Old Wu." Li Zhan shouted.

Wu Zesen is not old. He joined the army at the age of eighteen and is only thirty-two this year.

"Vice President." Wu Zesen tugged on the headset.

Li Zhan said, "I always feel that the gesture of taking off is not very appropriate."

As he spoke, he squatted down, then straightened the palm of his right hand and pressed it on the ground. When he raised it suddenly, he pointed his palm forward and said, "At least when I do this, I don't have the neat feeling of flying with all my strength, don't you think?

"

"Yes! Vice President, many people feel this way. During those hours, I even joked that it was squatting and taking a dump and then reaching for paper. Damn it." Wu Zesen's educational level is not high. He taught himself all the technical skills and spoke.

He likes to use foul language and make gestures when speaking.

Li Zhan was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but laugh, "When you say this, it really feels like squatting and taking a shit and reaching for paper. This is not good. It cannot reflect the image of our civilized teacher and a mighty teacher."

"This is no joke. What people can see are the fighter planes and you ground crew members exposed on the flight deck. The fighter planes are not cool enough, and your movements are not cool enough. The Indian army is of no use. They still know how to build a motorcycle.

Car acrobatics are used to improve the image in the eyes of the people." Li Zhan said.

Wu Zesen chuckled and said, "That's right. Nowadays, many people on the Internet are boasting about the Wuling Light's versatility, saying that you should never mess with Wuling, because you never know how many people will get off that car. In fact, these are all people.

The Indian army does the rest. If you ask me, the Indian army is a super military power. A company of motorcycles is more powerful than a division in other countries."

"Hey, you've done a lot of harm. The Indian army is making fun of whoever it offends." Li Zhan laughed loudly, calmed down for a moment, and said, "I want to change this take-off gesture. What do you think?"

Wu Zesen seemed to have studied it a long time ago. He immediately squatted down, but when he squatted down, he did a right lunge, with his right knee facing the direction of takeoff. While lowering his posture, he said, "Lunge, lower it according to the actual situation."

In the posture, the left hand is pressing on the front deck, which is a support point. Facing the pilot, the right hand hangs down naturally to support the deck. While turning the head towards the take-off direction, raise the palm of the right hand and straighten the fingertips forward, making a forward gesture. I am consistent

Do it again.”

After saying that, Wu Zesen did it quickly and neatly, turning his head to the right and suddenly raising his right hand to point to the right. This action made Li Zhan's eyes light up, so he said, "It's interesting, it tastes good."

The lunge and left hand support form a stable triangle support posture, and at the same time achieve the purpose of lowering the body posture. When the fighter plane rolls out, the powerful airflow emitted by the engine will form a strong backward wind force, and the low body posture can ensure safety

The most important thing is to turn your head to the right and at the same time raise your right hand and point forward. This is very powerful. Raising your right hand and pointing forward is like raising a gun to shoot, which has the meaning of fighting.

"Go, gather all the takeoff assistants, try this action one by one, and perfect it." Li Zhan made a decisive decision without any hesitation.

"Yes!" Wu Zesen immediately stood up, turned around and shouted to gather the takeoff assistants.

Eight takeoff assistants quickly came over and gathered in a row. Wu Zesen immediately taught him the improved takeoff gestures and asked everyone to test it on site and put forward suggestions for improvement.

Li Zhan did it several times, feeling the feeling of every part of his body through the whole set of movements. Don't underestimate the small take-off gesture. If it is a full flight, the ground crew responsible for the support will need to repeat it many times a day, and there are other

Gestures, therefore, saving effort are also one of the factors Li Zhan considers.

After doing it for a century, Li Zhan had some ideas. He asked eight takeoff assistants, "Tell me how you feel and give your suggestions for improvement."

The flight assistants enthusiastically expressed their opinions, digging into the details, down to the position of each finger. One of the flight assistants said boldly, "Vice President, I personally think it's okay to lunge and squat like this once or twice.

It’s too tiring after too many times.”

It should be said that veteran steps have the deepest experience. When learning to fight, horse stance and lunge are the most basic leg movements. They are so stereotyped that you doubt your life and wish you could take off two legs and leave the third leg for use.

Li Zhan said, "Oh? Okay, tell me, how do you think it should be changed?"
