Chapter 5 Landing on an Aircraft Carrier
On the drilling platform, several workers excitedly watched the carrier-based aircraft flying away. They did not look away until the aircraft disappeared, their eyes full of envy. Which man doesn't want to fly a fighter jet!
A worker whispered, "Did you take a picture of it?"

"I filmed it all, it's so cool! He's like a sniper, one shot kills a whole bunch of monkeys!"

Another worker looked at the Huawei in his hand. The screen kept playing the scene of the J15 diving attack. The smooth attack blew up all the speedboats!
"This" a young worker who has always been prejudiced against the country looked at the sea in the distance in disbelief. This is different from what is said on the Internet. Didn't they say that they would only protest?
"I told you earlier, watch less."

"Yes! You are right! I won't watch it anymore!" the young man said loudly. The facts were before his eyes, and he couldn't make up a story.

“I’ll post it on Bilibili later.”

The driller watched the video on his phone and prepared to add some exciting music to it. He decided to use the "March of the Iron Torrent". The navy matched the army's BGM, which was very authentic.
[Student 189, report your position.]

"This is 189, altitude 8000, heading 060"

Every once in a while, Liu Jun would report his position and altitude to the Liaoning. After a small disturbance, Liu Jun would immediately conduct the [Daytime Aircraft Carrier Qualification Certification].

After passing the IFF identification and entering the aircraft carrier's air defense circle, the altitude began to descend. After passing through a thin cloud, Liu Jun could already see the aircraft carrier on the sea in the distance. From the air, the huge aircraft carrier was just a small black dot, and in the waters around the aircraft carrier were the Liaoning's subordinate ships, which were also her sword-bearing guards.

It continued to lower its altitude and circled over the Liaoning, waiting for [qualification certification].

Please follow the instructions to land.

"understand!"

After circling the aircraft carrier for two weeks, we received the notice that we could conduct daytime qualification certification and entered the aircraft carrier landing procedure. We circled once more, adjusted the angle, and prepared to land on the aircraft carrier.

Even with an all-weather electronic landing aid system and a Fresnel lens, landing on an aircraft carrier is not that easy. Landing a carrier-based aircraft is not as easy as landing on the ground. The sea surface is not calm, and the aircraft carrier is swaying slightly with the waves, while the aircraft carrier itself is still sailing. Trying to land on this moving airport is like dancing on the edge of a knife. If you are not careful, the aircraft will be destroyed and people will die!
Reduce the fuel, then add fuel again, repeatedly rub the throttle, slightly adjust the flight stick, fine-tune the bow of the J15, lower the flaps to increase the lift of the aircraft, and improve the low-speed handling performance. When the altitude and speed continue to decrease, lower the landing gear and landing hook.

After crossing an invisible line, Liu Jun entered a colorful world, and the optical landing goggles began to assist him in landing.

The optical landing aid mirror, consisting of a deck edge device, power supply, and control panel, is mounted on a stable platform near the port side of the flight deck, unaffected by the carrier's rolling motion. Five layers of beams are emitted parallel to the runway and angled to the sea level, forming a five-layer wavefront. The focal beam is orange, while the upward and downward beams are yellow and red, respectively, and flanked by green baseline beams.

Orange light indicates accurate landing, yellow indicates descending altitude, red indicates ascending altitude, and green indicates left or right deviation, adjusting the horizontal position.

He reduced the fuel, slightly adjusted the angle of the aircraft, and aimed the bow at the landing area on the deck. Almost no adjustments were needed, and he directly entered the orange beam area, which was like a light bridge, guiding him to land.

close!

Closer!
The aircraft carrier, originally a tiny black dot, was now the size of a transport truck, and it continued to grow as it approached, rapidly expanding, like a picture from a central media outlet turning into one from a foreign media outlet. Pulling the bow slightly, the aircraft continued to reduce fuel, maintaining a controlled landing speed of 300-400 km/h and maintaining momentum for a go-around. If the arresting wire was not hooked, a go-around could be carried out.

At this moment, inside the bridge, the captain and the political commissar were watching the landing [189] with binoculars.

"Oh, is it him? The coast guard specifically asked us to commend him?" Colonel and Political Commissar Yang Wei asked with a smile.

At first, when the coast guard asked for help, they just asked him to do a favor. Who knew that he almost killed all the pirates? It is said that the pirates were scared silly, many of them wet their pants, and they told everything they knew during the coast guard's interrogation.

"How's it going? Tsk tsk, excellent gun shooting."

This was also the reason why Zhang Jun was interested in Liu Jun before. Most of the other students' live-fire machine gun shooting scores were passing, but Liu Jun was excellent, and his accuracy was praised by the flight instructors.

Now they know that he is indeed excellent. As a captain, Liu Jun makes him very happy.

In modern air combat, missiles are becoming more and more advanced and intelligent, and machine guns are no longer useful. People no longer attach so much importance to aircraft gun shooting, and passing the test is enough. This can be seen from the fact that the J20 has cancelled its machine gun.

But! The aircraft gun is the pilot's last honor and the last weapon, just like the infantry's bayonet. It is a tradition to dare to draw blood!

"It's really awesome."

Yang Wei spoke frankly. For soldiers, the battle record was in front of them. One was one and two was two!
According to the report of the Coast Guard, Liu Jun sank 5 pirate speedboats with only 30 rounds of aircraft cannon, which means that he killed a speedboat with two bursts of fire. The ground attack window of a high-speed fighter jet is only a moment, and the aircraft cannon shooting capability is already at the "sniper" level.

"Are you going to hook the third arresting cable?" Captain Zhang Jun looked at the J15's descending posture and immediately realized that Liu Jun was going to hook the third arresting cable.

Arresting cables are an important component of the arresting device. To ensure safe landing of aircraft and improve the hook rate of the aircraft's tail hook, the flight deck is usually equipped with 4-6 arresting cables.

The first arresting cable is typically located 36 to 51 meters from the aft end of the flight deck, with each cable spaced approximately 12 to 18 meters apart. The arresting net is located in front of the last arresting cable. The arresting net is not deployed during normal times. If a landing is required, deck crews can deploy the net within two minutes, allowing the aircraft to crash into the net and stop.

The most ideal landing situation is when the landing hook is on the second and third arresting cables. The first and fourth arresting cables both have some problems to some extent. The first arresting cable is too slow, and the fourth is too fast.

Zhang Jun watched the J15 descending steadily. The moment the landing gear touched the carrier, the entire fuselage sank heavily and hit the deck, showing the unique violent landing aesthetics of HNA. Then the landing hook accurately hooked onto the third arresting cable.

When hooking onto the arresting cable and landing at high speed, the cervical and lumbar vertebrae are subjected to tremendous impact. Due to inertia, the moment the aircraft is hooked, you will feel blood rushing to the head, your eyes will become bloodshot, your field of vision will be reduced, and everything you see will appear red. However, for Liu Jun, it was just a slight discomfort.
