Chapter 233 Steps for landing an aircraft carrier

Steps for landing of 233 aircraft carrier

Time passes day by day.

Chen Fei and his team's training is tense and fulfilling.

First, let’s learn some relevant knowledge about carrier-based aircraft landing.

The purpose of teaching everyone is to teach everyone this course is a female teacher in her thirties, gentle and friendly, and very feminine.

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

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

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

"Okay, let's talk!"

"Report to the teacher, in the 1960s, the British invented the Fresnel lens optical landing assistance system. Now, this system has become an essential landing assistance device for aircraft carriers. This landing assistance mirror consists of a deck edge device, a power supply and a control board, and is placed on a stable platform on the port side of the middle of the aircraft carrier's flight deck to ensure that the beam emitted by the lens is not affected by the swaying of the aircraft carrier."

"Very good! It seems that everyone has done a very solid preparation!" The teacher nodded with satisfaction: "So, who can tell me the structure and composition of this system?"

"Report!"

"Okay, say it!"

"The lens-type optical drop mirror deck edge device is composed of a light indicator, a pitch servo driver, a fixed reference light, an adjustment reference light, a non-drop light, etc. When used, it is formed by the combined action of the light source, a Fresnel lens and a biconvex lens.

If this beam appears on the reference light, it means that the sliding angle of the entering aircraft is too large; if it appears under the reference light, it means that the sliding angle of the entering aircraft is too small.

It is usually composed of 4 groups of lights, with a light box vertically arranged in the middle, 5 layers of light beams are emitted through the lens. These 5 layers of light beams are parallel to the flight runway and maintain a certain angle to the sea level to form 5 layers of slopes.

Which of the five layers of beams is an orange beam in the middle, which is yellow and red upward and downward, and the green reference beams on both sides.

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

These lights are controlled by the landing guide. They divide the work on the port side guide platform of the rear of the ship to observe the position of the landing gear, flaps, tail hooks, etc. while talking to the pilot while controlling the light signals.

There is a main flight control room on the rear of the upper part of the ship island. A flight control officer monitors the flight deck and the air and conducts final inspection of the safety of the ship and aircraft.

The Fresnel lens-type drop mirror is simple and reliable, making it easy for carrier-based pilots to master.

The landing of carrier-based aircraft has gone from the previous personal superb driving technology that simply relied on pilots to the complete automatic control of computers, which is very accurate and high-precision. This is a technological leap and the result of technical accumulation."

After the student finished his answer, he looked at Chen Fei and his Dragon Squadron like a demonstration.

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

At this time, two-thirds of the people regarded them as their opponents, and they were thinking about how to compare them. Therefore, a good competitive atmosphere quickly formed in the team of students, and everyone was chasing each other and even scrambling to answer questions.

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

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

However, no one knows that for Chen Fei and the others, these things have long been mastered and they can no longer arouse their great interest.

However, Chen Fei and the others still listened carefully. On the one hand, they strengthened their memory. Although you know some things, they have not yet formed their instincts in their bones. Especially the driving of carrier-based aircraft is different from other fighter jets, and they must form instincts, so everyone listens carefully every class.

Secondly, when teaching relevant knowledge, every teacher will make appropriate explanations based on his own experience and experience, as well as the experience and experience of other pilots, and even give some failed cases!

These things are not available to the pilots of the Dragon Squadron, so everyone is very attentive and not half-hearted.

After talking about the basics, the instructor began to talk about the procedures for landing aircraft carriers.

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

Let’s talk about the process of landing carriers on aircraft carriers today, in order.” The instructor looked around and explained carefully. After that, she opened the ppt.

"First of all, the first thing is that the landing of a carrier-based aircraft on an aircraft carrier requires obeying the aircraft carrier's aviation control procedures. Enter the slope of the slope according to a fixed route.

The first thing to mention here is the aviation control system. The core of this system is mainly the aviation control radar and the aviation control console."

The instructor makes full use of multimedia, combining pictures and texts, combining videos and data, and explains carefully.

Afterwards, she said: "The following is a second step for carrier-based aircraft landing, using aviation controllers to arrange the landing order and divide the landing routes for carrier-based aircraft.

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

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

Unlike what everyone imagines, the optical drop-assist system itself does not use different colors of light to lay down a descent path for the carrier-based aircraft. From the perspective of the carrier-based aircraft, it is just a small light spot that can change colors.

Everyone watch this video. At this time, the carrier-based aircraft is very far away from the aircraft carrier. Everyone says, can we still see the little highlight on the port side of the aircraft carrier? It's very difficult.

So our current carrier-based aircraft are basically based on electronic drop-assisted systems, and optical drop-assisted systems are supplemented. Okay, let’s see the cockpit.”

After the second step, the instructor took a sip of water and began to talk about the last step: "In the end, the plane landed, and the most important thing is to block the rope.

Although the blocking rope looks like four ropes on the ground, there is actually a large system under the deck."

Chen Fei listened attentively.

These things were something he could not know when he was studying by himself or searching for information, especially those videos, which were taken from the Liaoning ship and could not be seen anywhere else. So, after listening to this class carefully, the system sounded in his mind.
Chapter completed!
