Chapter 1305: Comrade Smith

"What, during the first week, only simulations were performed every day?" Looking at this plan, Chen Rui suddenly felt speechless for a while: "What plan is this? Let's do a few simulations that day and we can land!"
Even if it doesn't happen today, it will be fine tomorrow!
What is the difficulty of this flight? The main thing is that the location must be accurate, the downline must be accurate, and don't be afraid, you will hit it, and as a result, it really hits. It's that simple!
Chen Rui didn't feel any difficulty, so now, in the plan given by Qin Guan, for a week, he will go down training every day.
This training is almost a simulation of the landing of a ship. It is necessary to fly the aircraft to the predetermined position accurately. If the landing gear and hook are placed, the landing is considered successful. But now, these are not released. Flying over the deck, time and time again, what's the point of this?
"Only with a lot of hard work, can we be foolproof. It is like jumping a parachute. If you don’t practice tens of thousands of times, you will not be able to form a conditioned reflex. Now, we must carry out preliminary training. In particular, we have to find a variety of The problem, one by one, is to be prevented. Chen Rui and Wang Wei, the task of the two of you is very difficult. You are pathfinders, and you can't take it lightly!"
After that, Qin Guan said again: "Furthermore, our deck crews must master skills and work together in this simulation again and again. This landing is not just your own business!"
Yes, if you land on the airport, it depends on the pilot’s ability. There is guidance on the ground, which is only a rough guide. However, the landing commander is very important for the landing of the aircraft carrier. He directly decides whether the carrier aircraft is If you can land accurately, you still have to go around immediately, etc.
Of course Chen Rui knew the role of the landing commander. This profession has existed since the establishment of an aircraft carrier. The early landing commanders held a scull-like command card in each hand to guide the aircraft to land on the ship, so they were called "short paddlers."
Later, when the jet age arrived, the aircraft carrier evolved from the original linear flight deck and was equipped with an oblique flight deck, and was also equipped with an optical landing system OLS.
However, the guidance of personnel is also essential. After all, no one likes cold machines, but prefers to be guided by living companions.
The landing commanders, abbreviated LSO, are wearing white vests, holding a radio in their left hand, and holding a device called an "ice axe" in their right hand to guide the aircraft onto the ship.
"Ice axe" is the most important Fresnel lens optical landing system's go-around indicator and cross-light switch device. Press the index finger button and the go-around indicator will flash continuously; press the thumb button and the cross light will flash bright.
This landing commander is very important. In countries that already have aircraft carriers, the LSO landing commander is derived from mature carrier-based fighter pilots.
This job is not easy. Not only must their flight skills be admired and convinced by other carrier-based aircraft pilots, they must also have excellent command and organization capabilities. At the same time, they must have a good understanding of the status and performance of the aircraft, the technical characteristics and personality of the pilots in order to be Command the carrier-based aircraft to land safely.
Because, during the landing process, the pilot must completely trust the landing commander, not his own judgment.
At present, there is no technical reserve of aircraft carriers in China, and the take-off and landing of carrier-based aircraft is also from scratch. At this time, we must be more careful.
Qin Guan said so, Chen Rui finally nodded: "Yes, brother-in-law, you are thoughtful."
Chen Rui now sincerely admired him, but then Chen Rui found out that he was wrong.
"Well, now, I will introduce you an instructor." Chen Rui shouted: "Please come in, Comrade Smith."
Comrade Smith? When they heard this name, both Chen Rui and Wang Hai were stunned. If you want to talk about Smith, they must be foreigners, but do foreigners also have the title of comrade?
Then only the most trusted people can be called comrades!
Following Qin Guan’s shouting, the door behind opened, and a middle-aged man with a short head walked in. When his eyes met, Chen Rui knew that the sharpness in the other’s eyes was immediately obvious. Pilots! Only the eyes of the pilot can be so sharp!
"I would like to introduce to you briefly, Comrade Smith, previously served on the Constellation aircraft carrier and served as the ship commander many times." Qin Guan said.
The Constellation aircraft carrier is the second ship of the Kitty Hawk-class aircraft carrier of the Eagle Nation Navy. It was the vanguard in the war of the Monkey Nation. It and another Ticonderoga aircraft carrier produced the famous Beibu Gulf incident.
After the war, there was a strong anti-war sentiment in Eagle Country. Smith also felt tremendous psychological pressure because of participating in this unjust war. Therefore, he rejected the Navy's promotion and chose to retire.
After retiring, Smith planned to apply for civil aviation. After all, as a pilot from the army, he was very popular in the local area. However, when he learned that he had participated in the Vietnam War and was the first batch of pilots to go into combat, Smith actually did not apply for the job. success.
He is unemployed and lives on veteran pensions. Like many veterans who have been discharged after the Monkey Kingdom War, he is in a difficult situation, almost like the hero of the first blood. People around him learned that he had participated During the war, he looked at him coldly.
Such a person is simply too rare, and it is even more difficult for him to be discovered by his own intelligence agency, and then continue to carry out ideological education, and finally make him change his beliefs.
When the navy introduced to Qin Guan and found such a talent, even Qin Guan couldn't believe it.
In later generations, when the Han National Navy launched its first aircraft carrier, its national power was already very strong. It hired a group of retired Eagle aircraft carrier deck operators with high salaries to complete the command and integration of its own aircraft carrier. It's not easy to take the first step.
Now, I have just started basic research, and I actually got a good helper!
After all, the Constellation belongs to the Kitty Hawk class and is a modern aircraft carrier. As an excellent carrier-based pilot and his experience in guiding fighter aircraft landings for countless times, he is most suitable for this task.
The only flaw is that Smith flies an F-4 ghost, after all, the F-14 Tomcat fighter has just caught up with the tail of this war.
Generally speaking, the landing guidance officers of aircraft carriers are all excellent pilots of carrier-based aircraft. Although he has not been a guide in the take-off area, he is quite familiar with the take-off process.
Therefore, with his joining, our own training will be more rigorous, and this plan was also made by Smith.
