Chapter 289 Flying High

A few minutes later.

The J-8 has already flown over the airport.

Liang Zhenghong controlled the plane to circle down and said to Jiang Chen, "Landing a plane is not as simple as flying a simulator. It requires flying three sides and five sides."

Jiang Chen asked subconsciously, "I only knew that civil airliners have to fly 'three sides' and 'five sides', but I didn't expect that military aircraft also have to fly."

"Nonsense." Liang Zhenghong cursed with a smile, "Are military aircraft not airplanes? Military aircraft still have to line up for takeoff and landing, so why don't they need to fly 'three sides' and 'five sides'?"

"Oh." Jiang Chen understood.

"You also know 'three sides' and 'five sides'?" Liang Zhenghong asked curiously.

Jiang Chen immediately said angrily, "Teacher Liang, if I don't even know such basic knowledge as 'three sides' and 'five sides', how dare I apply to the academy for skipping a grade?"

"That's right." Liang Zhenghong nodded.

Jiang Chen's application to skip a grade caused quite a stir.

It can be said that everyone in the school knows about it.

Now all the faculty and students of the Air Force University know that there is a talented student in the Flight Academy who is restless and has applied for skipping a grade only a few months after enrollment.

But this kid is both talented and hardworking.

It would be a waste of time to let him finish his four years of study step by step.

Liang Zhenghong stopped talking.

Instead, follow the 'three sides' procedure while contacting the tower.

Circling while descending in altitude.

Although he was the only plane at this small airport, he still followed the necessary procedures.

Very strict.

The so-called "three sides" and "five sides" are actually the process of an aircraft flying along a rectangle during takeoff and landing.

Especially when the plane is landing, the "three sides" and "five sides" procedures must be strictly followed.

Let me give you an example that isn’t quite relevant.

Just like a car enters a highway service area to rest or refuel, when it re-enters the main highway, it is equivalent to walking on the "three sides".

There is only one main highway.

The cars on the road are driving at high speed, one after another, in an endless stream.

The service area can accommodate many cars, which is equivalent to widening the space of the main road.

The vehicles in the service area are constantly coming in and out, which is equivalent to the planes in the airport constantly taking off and landing.

But the entrance and exit of the service area are two completely different roads.

Most airports have only one runway.

Those planes queuing up on the ground for takeoff, or queuing up in the air for landing.

Aren’t they just vehicles queuing up to enter the service area, or queuing up to merge into the main road?
An airplane is not a car.

Not only are airplanes faster, but they can't hang in the air like a stopped car.

So the plane cannot stay in the air and wait to land, it can only circle continuously.

And this process of going around in circles.

Actually it is 'three sides' or 'five sides'.

When the planes take off, the previous one is often taking off while the next one is slowly and smoothly sliding onto the runway.

As soon as the previous plane took off, the next one started accelerating on the runway.

Therefore, basically one plane takes off from a civil airport every ten minutes or so.

The time at military airports is even shorter, with intervals of only about two to three minutes.

The same goes for landing.

A busy airport usually divides the airspace into more than a dozen levels.

At every altitude there was a plane circling waiting to land.

Therefore, 'three sides' and 'five sides' are knowledge that every pilot must learn.

It is not just about learning solid theoretical knowledge from textbooks, but also about engraving the "three-side" and "five-side" processes firmly in your mind through continuous flying.

Especially military pilots.

Because the military requirements are much higher than civil aviation.

Civil aviation allows you to complete a take-off and landing in just over ten minutes.

But the troops need to reduce the time to two or three minutes.

A few minutes later, Liang Zhenghong finally completed the "three sides".

The nose of the plane is pointed towards the runway.

He slowed down while pressing the bar forward and lowering his head.

The J-8 trainer aircraft slowly arrived above the runway.

Bang!
Jiang Chen only felt the fuselage tremble a bit, and the plane began to run wildly along the runway.

But under the dual effects of the parachute and brakes.

The J-8 slowly stopped on the runway.

Liang Zhenghong controlled the plane and slowly slid onto the apron.

Two ground staff members quickly came over with the boarding ladder.

The canopy opens.

With the help of the ground staff, Jiang Chen took off his helmet and then got off the plane.

not far away.

Fang Kai still had a sullen look on his face.

Seeing Jiang Chen walking over with a smile, he immediately said unhappily, "It was a great day today, so now we are even."

Jiang Chen waved his hand and said in a heroic manner, "It's settled. Alas, you don't have to be so polite. You can keep the bottle of 82 Maotai for yourself. It's the same for me flying the CJ-6."

"Get lost." Fang Kai's face darkened, he didn't want to pay attention to this guy who was taking advantage of the situation.

At this moment.

Liang Zhenghong also came over with a flight helmet.

Looking at Fang Kai, he smiled and said, "Fang Nao Ke, I have already done what you asked. You better prepare that bottle of 82 Moutai."

"I know, I know. Am I the kind of person who doesn't keep his word?" Fang Kai said unhappily.

Done.

He turned his head and looked at Jiang Chen.

He continued, "I'll give you two minutes to change your clothes. After the two minutes, you can walk back to the dormitory by yourself."

Jiang Chen rolled his eyes.

Who are you trying to scare?

The airport is only three or four kilometers away from the dormitory.

I can usually run five kilometers like it’s a piece of cake, so why would I be afraid of just three or four kilometers?
Fang Kai saw that he looked calm and composed.

Just got in the car.

Start the car.

Go ahead and go.

I really didn’t wait for Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen was not in a hurry either.

He slowly took off his flight suit and anti-gravity suit and put them away, then changed into his own uniform. Then he slowly walked out of the airport and headed towards the dormitory.

Liang Zhenghong watched Jiang Chen's gradually disappearing back.

A playful smile appeared on his face, "As expected, a great reputation is worthy of its reputation. This kid is really capable."

"Teacher Liang."

At this time, a student came over and asked, "Do you need a copy of the video footage of this J-8?"

Liang Zhenghong turned around.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Copy it down, and put the USB drive in my office. I'll take some time to look at it in the evening."

"Ok."

Every plane in the school is equipped with a camera.

The purpose is to film how the trainees fly the aircraft.

Then we understand the students’ driving skills through videos and find out their shortcomings and fill them up.

Today Jiang Chen performed so many maneuvers in the J-8.

These are all rare teaching materials.

It’s just right for those monkeys under my command to take a look.

A freshman is flying so well, how dare you, a junior, to slack off every day?
