A few days ago, a certain base of the Naval Aviation University organized a staged assessment of carrier-based aircraft flight cadets. With the first order, a number of carrier-based aircraft took off one after another and maneuvered to the predetermined airspace.
"Perform in-flight refueling!" After receiving the order, the flight instructor piloted the tanker and quickly adjusted the flight speed; The flight cadets piloted the refueling aircraft, constantly corrected the flight attitude, and formed a refueling formation. After entering the refueling position, the dispenser releases the refueling hose. Affected by the strong air flow, the taper sleeve at the end of the hose sways back and forth. "You can come on!" After receiving instructions, according to the wind speed, air flow and other meteorological factors, the trainees of the oiled aircraft should adjust the speed and altitude of the fighter in time, accurately control the throttle, repeatedly correct the deviation, and release the refueling probe at the right time, so as to quickly approach the tanker. 5m, 3m, 1m...... The flight trainee seized the opportunity to operate the oil probe to firmly dock with the cone sleeve of the refueling hose. A few minutes later, the refueling ended, and a "two-on-two" air combat confrontation between the cadets and the instructors began. "'Enemy' tracking!" Hearing the alarm, the red wingman pilot student immediately launched a large-angle maneuver, and then feigned retreat, in an attempt to wait for the "enemy plane" to penetrate deeply, and then the red wingman plane made a detour from the side to carry out counter-suppression. However, the BLU flight instructor quickly saw through the intention and quickly took up a favorable position. Soon, the confrontation changed from a mid-range grappling to a close-range fight. "Strength comes from practical training, and only by daring to fight can we win the war." According to the leaders of the base, they set up the training background closely following the needs of the battlefield, and solidly carried out the key skills training of carrier-based aircraft flight students, so that the training was closer to the future battlefield; Organize instructors and trainees to jointly carry out tactical theory research, and carry out specialized and refined training around dangerous and difficult subjects; Integrate the concept of actual combat into the whole process of flight training, and continuously strengthen the combat quality of flight trainees to "fight when they take off". After the first batch of training, under the guidance of the landing commander, the pilot trainees continuously aligned the fighters to the center line of the "deck" and completed the land-based simulated landing in turn. "How to divide your attention when refueling" and "How to better judge the opponent's intentions...... After stepping off the fighter plane, the flight instructors and flight students reviewed and summarized the assessment content, pointing to the key points of the problem and the shortcomings. On the tarmac, supply vehicles shuttled back and forth, and the officers and men of the aircraft were busy conducting detailed inspections of the fighters. As the roar of the engine sounded again, a new round of assessment began in the sea and sky......
