readx; The pilot training of naval carrier-based aircraft is more difficult and complex than that of the Air Force, and the Chinese Navy is also stricter when recruiting pilots, generally recruiting from the fresh junior high school or high school graduates, and then entering the aviation school to study, the first year includes theoretical study, physical training, basic military knowledge, and the second year begins the preliminary aircraft piloting study. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After two years of study at the aviation school, after graduation, the cadets will be sent to various training squadrons for intermediate training courses according to their own qualities and personal wishes, and in the process they will carry out professional training of the corresponding aircraft, which will last for one year, and after one year, they will be completed and awarded the rank of second lieutenant.

In the above process, the pilots can accumulate about 300 hours of flight time, which can meet the minimum standards of the Chinese Navy. However, not everyone will be able to get on the ship, but they will be assessed, and those who are excellent will be assigned to the carrier-based aircraft wing, and those with average results will be assigned to the shore-based wing. In addition, although the pilots of these shore-based wings are inferior in quality to those pilots of carrier-based air wings, they also have the lowest standards for boarding ships, and because in addition to ultra-long-range patrol aircraft, anti-submarine aircraft, and twin-engine bombers, other fighters, dive bombers, and torpedo bombers equipped by the shore-based wing of the Chinese Navy are also carrier-based models, and the regular training of the shore-based wing will also include a small amount of training on board, so these planes and pilots can also go on board to fight when necessary. It can be regarded as a reserve carrier-based aircraft force in the Chinese Navy.

In wartime, if the planes and pilots of the carrier-based air wing are too lost and cannot be replenished in time, then the planes and pilots of the shore-based wing will be transferred to the ship to replenish them.

After entering the carrier-based aircraft wing, it does not mean that you can directly fly the fighter to fight, but to become a reserve pilot, from those senior pilots to learn a variety of advanced flight skills, and this advanced flight skills are difficult to learn from the aviation school or training squadron, the words and deeds of senior pilots are needed to be able to quickly train a qualified carrier-based aircraft pilot, through the reserve pilot learning stage of about half a year to a year, can become a formal pilot, and at this time is generally as a wingman, After becoming a senior pilot, you can switch to a long plane.

The entire training process will last between three and a half to four years, and the total flight time of the regular pilots who have been trained in this way will reach about 400 hours, and they will become a veteran pilot of carrier-based aircraft.

During World War II, pilots were often said to be precious, not because it took a lot of time to train a pilot, but because it took too much time. In terms of economy, although a lot of fuel is consumed, oil is relatively cheap in these years, except for the two countries of Ben and Germany, which have nowhere to buy, the oil of other countries is not expensive, and the entire training process will cost about 10,000 yuan at most, but the training process will consume the service life of the aircraft and even crash the plane, and the money required in this aspect is about 70,000 or 80,000 yuan, and then plus the salaries of other personnel and other miscellaneous expenses, the price of training a pilot is about 150,000 yuan.

However, although the direct cost is not much, the time of pilot training is very valuable, after all, it is impossible for you to train pilots in a war, and the long training time of pilots is also an important reason why pilots are considered more valuable than carrier-based aircraft in the Chinese Navy.

However, regular pilots continue to accumulate flight time in the process of re-service, reaching 800 hours or even 1,000 hours of flight time, and after reaching this level, they are the so-called elite pilots, and the military rank is generally lieutenant or captain or even colonel.

And the value of elite pilots is even more incomparable than that of aircraft.

Of course, the pilot training time mentioned above is too long, which refers to the pilot training process in peacetime, and it is difficult to strictly implement it after World War II, for example, in the course of operations, when there are fighter losses and pilot losses, when the follow-up attack group is dispatched, reserve aircraft and reserve pilots are needed, and most of these reserve pilots' flight time is only about 300 hours, just reaching the standard of boarding the ship.

In addition to war losses, there are also factors of military expansion, although the Chinese Navy and Air Force did not participate in large-scale wars resulting in a large number of war losses, but the pace of military expansion is very fast, so that the original number of pilots is far from keeping up with the number of aircraft, in order to make these newly commissioned aircraft also have enough pilots, in recent years has greatly shortened the training time of pilots, so that many pilots in advance to become regular pilots.

The pace of expansion of the Chinese Navy and Air Force in recent years has been very large, and a large number of aircraft will need pilots after they are put into service, so the demand for pilots is very large, and many pilots have not been able to complete the normal training time, and there are not a few who have been converted into regular pilots after 300 or even 200 hours of flight time.

Of course, at present, China's pilot training situation is still much better than that of several other belligerent countries, and it is said, "Needless to say, pilots who have not flown for dozens of hours have been on board, and since the so-called suicide attack was invented, even many flight cadets who can only take off and cannot land are flying suicide fighters into battle, and they belong to the kind that cannot come back if they go."

Although China's pilot training time has been greatly shortened compared with peacetime, after the pilots enter the formal service of the army, they are making up for this shortcoming by strengthening training; after all, although the Chinese Navy and Air Force have already participated in the war with the Navy, there are still not many pilots who directly participate in the war, and what the Chinese Navy and Air Force have done is to transfer elite pilots to the front line, while those rookies who have just graduated are to stay in the second line of troops to serve and continue training.

Qin Haitao's cousin is a carrier-based aircraft pilot who has shortened the training time, and his current flight time is only more than 300 hours, which is incomparable with a senior pilot like Qin Haitao who has more than 1,000 flight hours.

Fei Bin: "He should come back?" ”

Fei Bin is not a commander, although he is a lieutenant, he is just an ordinary pilot, he doesn't know the overall situation of this air raid, although he knows that there are some losses in this air raid, but I haven't heard much, could it be said that Qin Haitao's cousin is not among the few losses?

Captain Qin Haitao took a deep breath at this time, and also showed an ugly smile: "I borrowed Brother Fei's auspicious words!" ”

Fei Bin didn't say anything after hearing it, but nodded: "Don't worry, my words will never be wrong!" ”

As the group of returning planes landed one after another, even the B18 bomber, which could not put down the landing gear, also landed by means of forced landing on the surface, although the plane fell into the sea and could not be recovered, but the pilot was fine.

At this time, Qin Haitao put down the phone, just now he had already contacted the people on the Songshan and Taishan sides, and after counting the returning planes, there were still seven that did not return, and his cousin's plane was among them.

"Is something really wrong?" Qin Haitao thought of what his father said when he told him to take care of this cousin.

"Your cousin said that he wanted to be a pilot when he was a child, and then when he saw that you became a pilot, he didn't go to college, so he insisted on applying for aviation school! Your second uncle went early, and it was not easy for your second aunt to raise him. Now that he happens to be in the same wing as you, you have to promise me to take care of him!" ”

At that time, Qin Haitao promised his father and his second aunt very seriously that he would take good care of his cousin, but now, his cousin has not returned.

How did he explain to his father and his second aunt?

At this time, a second lieutenant next to him leaned over and said, "Colonel An is going to hold an operational meeting, and all the colleagues over there in the war room are already waiting!" ”

Qin Haitao looked at the sky again, the sky was still gray and blue, there was no trace of his cousin's fighter plane, he clenched his fists and sighed deeply and then got up to leave.

However, just as he turned around and walked two steps, Fei Bin's voice came: "Look? ”

Qin Haitao turned his head to look at the sky in the distance, only to see a small black dot appear in a gray-blue sky, and at this time, a vague voice came from the landing command room: "No. 378 requests landing!" ”

Qin Haitao was shocked in his heart, the No. 378 fighter was his cousin Qin Haian's landline.

Qin Hai'an's voice came from the headset: "The left wing of this aircraft is damaged, please prepare for the rescue of Huashan!" ”

Qin Haitao held back the excitement in his heart and said, "Received, permission to land!" ”

After a while, the black dot in the sky was getting closer and closer, it was an F8G fighter with a small half of the left wing, flying shaky, and the flight path was not a straight line, but a little off the main channel, gradually reducing the altitude and approaching the Huashan by flying sideways.

Immediately after, Qin Haitao continued to report the speed, wind direction and wind speed to No. 378, guiding the No. 378 fighter to land, a few minutes later, the F8G fighter entered from the rear deck of the Huashan, the first blocking cable did not hook, the second still did not hook, just when Qin Haitao was in a hurry, the No. 378 fighter finally hooked the last blocking cable, after the huge resistance of the blocking cable, the F8G fighter finally stopped in front of the blocking net.

Qin Haian climbed out of the fighter plane, and after taking off his helmet, he revealed a young man with an immature face, and his face was still filled with a smile on his successful return landing.

Qin Haitao walked up quickly: "Good brother, you are back!" ”

Qin Hai'an said with a smile: "The left wing was broken, and the speed on the road couldn't be raised, not to mention, it turned to suffering, and it took a big circle to come back!" ”

"It's good to be back!" Qin Haitao looked at this cousin, also with a smile on his face.
