In recent days, US and Russian military aircraft have frequently fought in the airspace of the high seas. In the face of foreign aircraft suddenly approaching airspace, pilots of various countries often have to take off in an emergency within five minutes to drive out their opponents, showing their strength in all-weather air defense operations. In the NATO system, this dispatch has a special name called "Scramble", which means that once the emergency take-off command is issued, the various departments quickly link up, and the word also means "competition", which means that the air situation was tense at that time. In fact, the Chinese Air Force usually arranges fighter jets and pilots on duty to respond to emergency take-offs, but it has our title and routine. The author of this article is a retired senior pilot. He has personally experienced the Chinese version of "emergency take-off", and the level of discussion is better than that of foreign troops.

  Quick response

  Pilots often say "dangerous landing difficult to take off", which means that although the technical difficulty is not as high as the landing stage during the take-off phase, it is more dangerous because the aircraft has a low altitude and low speed, and the available runway is getting shorter and shorter until there is no. , The safety margin for disposal or correction is small. Compared with daily flight training, combat take-off with the nature of emergency take-off is even more dangerous-the pilot must take off within a few minutes after taking the order, and most of them are "blind" to take off. Because in most cases, the pilot does not know what task he will perform and what will happen to him in the next second. If the weather is lower than the opening conditions of the airport, you may need to force take off!

  That day, the wingman and I were on duty to fight. The two of us checked and received the plane very early and wanted to return to the duty room to take a break after completing the procedures. But as the commander of the deputy commander, the experienced "old fly" insisted that we practice "run level transfer." In the fighter aviation, the combat duty is divided into several levels according to the importance of the mission and the time limit. When it is transferred from the lower level to the higher level, it is called "level transfer", and the transfer time requires that the first level is shorter than the first level. Every second counts. The commander asked us to be able to train the actions of running on the plane, stepping into the cockpit, and starting the car into "muscle memory" when "running into the running level", "it can be done without brains."

  "Dingling bell!" At noon, the two of us who had practiced "run for a while" for a long time only had lunch. Everyone was a little sleepy, and suddenly the masterpiece's bell sounded like a heavy hammer hitting his head. We immediately rushed out of the duty room and went straight to the on-duty plane. At this time, the originally silent combat apron had boiled, and dozens of crew members in black overalls were assigned according to their division of labor. Soon, I got into the cockpit. The first action below was to open the main switch. The rest of the switches needed to open the flight were opened as early as the morning of the reception check. Just connect the main switch to power on, and the device Immediately warm up until it works normally. At the same time, the mechanic helped me drive (that is, start the engine), because my hands were still busy wearing umbrellas, and to save time, I had to let the mechanic do it. Soon, the engine started smoothly, the mechanic helped me close the hatch again, and then quickly withdrew the plane and removed the escalator. The ground power plug was also unplugged by the mechanic. It can be confirmed that except for the three wheels connected to the ground, the entire aircraft has no more stumbling blocks, and it can be lifted off with just one order.

  Forced to take off beyond conditions

  The plane glanced onto the runway, and just turned around 30 degrees, and hadn't aligned its direction, the commander whispered to take off on the radio. It seems that the situation is urgent-the weather was unsatisfactory that day, which was below the opening conditions of the airport, and the commander wanted us to fly quickly!

  As I steered the plane and continued to turn in the right direction, I started to refuel. When the direction is perfectly aligned, the throttle is also full. Then, I switched on the afterburners of the two engines. The aircraft grew rapidly and rushed out. The wingman followed, and we only ran a short distance and then left the ground, only to climb 100 meters. , It is not in the cloud. Neither the wingman nor I have increased the afterburner, but climbed with "afterburner". In fact, the safety precautions do not recommend driving "afterburner" in the cloud, because the cloud with "afterburner" climbs up and rises. The angle is too large, the pilot is prone to illusion. But we can't care about that much! Soon, the plane came out of the cloud, climbed to a high altitude with the highest ascent rate, and changed to a level flight state. Then, I increased the speed to the maximum and entered the airspace to be battled in the shortest time.

  The command post informed the target's position and distance without interruption. I focused my eyes, widened my eyes, and tried my best to start a search along the line of heaven and earth. Suddenly, a thin white hairline between heaven and earth attracted my attention and the attention of the wingmen. Then I looked carefully at the front end of the white line. There was a small bright spot, yes, the white line was the trail of the plane. It's a plane!

  Our two planes were immediately ready to fight. In my plane, the firing trigger on the steering rod has long been lowered, and I just put my index finger on it. From time to time, there are whine gyro sounds in the headphones, and there is a brief drip sound, which is close-up mounted under the wing The signal of the high-speed rotation of the fighting missile's seeker indicates that the missile has been heated up and is in good working condition, ready to be launched at any time.

  A few minutes later, our target of "bagging and escorting" gave up the intention of approaching the reconnaissance, and left away, and the command post also sent instructions to guide us to turn around, and this battle took off and declared a successful end. Fang Bin
