46 night flight solo

During the next period, Chen Fei's life was hard and fulfilling, and he and his master He Xiaoyao became the busiest people in the First Flight Academy.

Because the night flight solo training that relies on the runway indicator lights throughout the whole process is the first time in the academy, there is no experience to follow and no outline to refer to, so everything has to be explored and explored together.

During this process, they encountered many difficulties, and some difficulties were something that Chen Fei had never thought of before, such as "It is difficult to see the ground sign light clearly when landing, and the judgment of the sliding height and direction depends entirely on self-guiding!"

In Chen Fei's original estimate, it would be no problem to turn off the searchlight. As long as you observe carefully, the sign light should still be very clear, but the facts were unexpected, and even if he widened his eyes, it would be difficult to see clearly.

Therefore, this requires even more improvement in control of flight attitude, that is, it requires improvement in flight technology.

This landing method has a low visibility and high risk coefficient. Pilots cannot accurately judge the altitude between the aircraft and the runway, which puts higher requirements on their flight technology and tower command.

To be honest, the difficulty of this matter is much beyond everyone's imagination. Chen Fei originally thought that after he made the way out, even ordinary flight students could start this training soon. But from the current point of view, even if their night flight was very successful, ordinary students wanted to participate in this course, at least they would get it before graduation, otherwise, it would be too dangerous!

After almost a week of hard exploration and preparation, Chen Fei and his master He Xiaoyao finally successfully figured out a suitable method with the help of school leaders and relevant members of the research team.

At this time, Chen Fei had already grown from an unknown Yehang Xiaobai to an experienced flight student.

April 19th at 6:50 pm.

Chen Fei's first night flight has officially begun.

In the tower.

Flight commander, flight controller, signalman, timer, weather forecaster, each performs his duties.

As we approached the apron, all kinds of support vehicles shuttled through it, the crew members carried out support work tensely and orderly.

Chen Fei completed all the work before takeoff step by step, then boarded the boarding ladder and sat in the cockpit.

The mechanic looked at Chen Fei outside the cabin and found that there was no problem with his operation, so he helped him close the canopy cover and get off the plane from behind the wing.

Everything is ready.

Chen Fei asked the tower: "The two holes are ready, please slide out."

"You can slide out if you two holes." The tower issued an agreed order.

"I understand the two holes!" Chen Fei replied, increased the accelerator, and the plane slowly slid out of the plane, turned around, and slowly drove towards the taxiway.

At this time, in the tower, He Xiaoyao pressed his hands on the table, and his eyes looked forward through the glass window of the tower.

"Old He, don't be nervous, Chen Fei will definitely succeed!"

He Xiaoyao didn't say anything, just stared at the front.

"The flight students are under great psychological pressure in the dark night, and their movements and reactions will be slower than during the day. The sense of direction, speed and altitude will be lost to varying degrees. During the early night flight training, I was always taking the flight. I was sitting in the back cabin and could always grasp his flight situation. Today is his first night flight alone. To some extent, I was still a little worried about him..." He Xiaoyao said while staring.

After a while, he turned his gaze back from the glass window and began to look at the flight parameters on the screen. To be honest, he was still worried about whether the students he had been with day and night could safely fall to the ground.

At this moment, Chen Fei's voice sounded.

"The tower, two holes are requested to enter the runway."

“Yes, you can enter the runway.”

"The two holes are clear." According to the instructions of the tower, the plane passed the taxiway and turned right to the runway. After the plane was facing the takeoff direction, Chen Fei closed the throttle, braked the car, and made the head of the plane look south, and steadily parked on the takeoff line at the top of the runway.

Chen Fei observed that there were no obstacles on the runway, chose the reference target for taking off and running, increased the accelerator and burned the nozzle for a while, and then closed the accelerator at the specified speed.

The purpose of burning the electric nozzle is to burn small particles such as grass seeds that may be sucked in by the engine and attached to the electric nozzle and carbon deposits on the electric nozzle, so that the engine can output the maximum power during takeoff.

Everything is ready and it is about to take off.

"The two holes have been checked and everything is normal. Please take off!"

"Two holes can take off."

"I understand the two holes."

Chen Fei quickly pushed the accelerator and the change distance to the end. Amid the roar of the engine, the plane was like a war horse that suddenly loosened its reins and was full of energy, jogging and jumping, running forward quickly on the rough grass track.

When I skied for nearly 200 meters, the bumpy amplitude of the plane had obviously weakened, and the fuselage seemed to have become much lighter. The nose slowly raised up, and it was like a rushing and eager to try, impatient, and wanted to climb the sky in one step. After the speed of the skiing exceeded 120 kilometers per hour, the plane jumped and suddenly became stable. Without the previous bumps and jumps, the entire plane gently left the ground under the action of lift.

The plane raised its head, flew forward steadily, and continued to climb upwards.

Put down the landing gear.

Chen Fei observed the landing gear indicator light in the cabin as required. The lights were turned off and the three indicator rods outside the cabin had also shrunk back.

The landing gear was successfully collected.

As the aircraft of Chujia Six took off, the cabin gradually became darker, leaving only the faint cold light emitted from the instrument panel.

80 meters, 90 meters, 100 meters...

On the dashboard, the flying altitude numbers are constantly changing, and looking down through the aircraft porthole, it is as dark as ink.

Chen Fei has completely overcome the visual illusion caused by less light in his early night flight training. At present, he can use visual and instrument equipment to determine the flight posture and position of the aircraft, accurately grasp the speed and route, and correct the aircraft posture in time, ushering in his first night flight solo training in his flight career.

Seeing him successfully lifting off the air, someone took the lead in the tower, and the applause quickly rang out.

Chen Fei completed practical training on large slope hovering, low-speed flight, minimum speed flight, regional direction and other practical courses. He passed all the results and then began to return.

It was the most dangerous when landing, so Chen Fei was very careful.

Self-judgment of the sliding curve.

Turn on the aircraft landing gear.

Reduce the flight altitude, 5 meters, 4 meters, 3 meters...

Dead!

Chen Fei finally landed the plane steadily on the nearly light-free airport runway with his excellent flying skills.
Chapter completed!
