After all preparations were in place, Yu Tao began his first test flight and landing, but unfortunately he failed to land accurately in the designated area. Xie Zhenyu carefully observed the landing process, and when he personally boarded the plane for a test flight, he immediately discovered the problem. For this reason, Xie Zhenyu applied for landing, and Qin Dadi ordered him to land along the glide channel.
However, the next second, Xie Zhenyu did not return as planned, but flew directly to the ship at an astonishing speed. This move made everyone present break into a cold sweat. Fortunately, Xie Zhenyu landed safely in the end. Everyone applauded, but Qin Dadi looked solemn.
Qin Dadi knew that this method of landing was extremely risky, so he found Xie Zhenyu when he returned to the base and severely criticized him. Xie Zhenyu explained the reason for his risky landing and had to make temporary changes, but Qin Dadi didn't buy it at all and warned Xie Zhenyu not to make such mistakes again in the future.
Before the test flight, Qin Dadi once again seriously pointed out that Xie Zhenyu's landing method was not advisable, and emphasized that the landing should be completed along the illuminated glide channel. However, the lights were extremely disruptive to the pilots, and except for Xie Zhenyu, it was difficult for anyone else to accurately land on the center point. Yi Zhengbang angrily questioned Qin Dadi. Qin Dadi responded that the problems encountered during the test flight were all unknown challenges. Everyone is moving forward in exploration, and now we need to brainstorm and find solutions together.
At the team meeting, Qin Dadi asked each member to share their feelings and analyze them based on the actual flight situation. Everyone pointed out that the aircraft cannot always fly under the lights during flight, because the glide path under the lights is a straight line, and the decelerating landing can only fly out of a curve. In the end, the aircraft can only land on the line, not on the point.
Xie Zhenyu and Yu Tao remained silent during the meeting and did not make any comments or additions. After the meeting, Qin Dadi called the two people to the office and decided to set up a technical research team. The initial members included Qin Dadi, Tao Siyong, Xie Zhenyu and Yu Tao. Subsequent adjustments would be made as needed.
Although Xie Zhenyu violated the regulations during the morning test flight, his results were the best. He expressed his opinion that there are technical difficulties in the light-assisted landing system that carrier-based aircraft rely on when landing. This is mainly due to the fact that the lighted glide path provided by the aircraft carrier is a straight line, and it cannot be maintained in this straight line unless flying at high speed. It cannot accurately land on the center point of the ship. Yu Tao agreed with this, which caused Qin Dadi to be deeply troubled. How to achieve a safe landing while ensuring safety and compliance is indeed a huge challenge.
The psychological support team planned to conduct a comprehensive psychological assessment and examination on all pilots, and Qin Dadi, Xie Zhenyu and others were asked to cooperate in hypnosis analysis. Yu Tao approached Xie Zhenyu and asked him if he had noticed the problem before the test flight, and was eager to know the results of his analysis. Xie Zhenyu said that he had no specific data to support it.
Under the guidance of Xia Chu and others, Qin Dadi gradually entered the dreamland and witnessed the most terrifying scene in his heart - his son was rushed to the emergency room, and his wife Wu Xiao left him with his son. Then it was Xie Zhenyu's turn to conduct the test. He saw the heartwarming scene of his father taking him to fly a kite, but he recalled bad things and his mood fluctuated violently, which made Xia Chu very worried.
After returning to the meeting, Qin Dadi began to study the landing problem. Although he did not agree with Xie Zhenyu's methods, he also admitted that Xie Zhenyu had almost completed the task. Currently, their priority is to ensure that the plane flies in a straight line and lands exactly on the center point, otherwise all efforts will be in vain.
That night, Xie Zhenyu watched the video material repeatedly. Kang Yancheng came to chat with him, but Xie Zhenyu suggested that Kang Yancheng play his game console in order to stay focused. Before the test flight on the second day, Qin Dadi explained the theoretical knowledge to everyone and emphasized that only through repeated trials can it be possible to overcome this technical problem.
