Recently, a certain unit of the Naval Aviation of the Southern Theater Command

conducted cross-day-and-night flight training

to hone the combat capabilities of the troops

With the issuance of orders

multiple helicopters

successively slid out and took off

During the landing training

the pilots maneuvered the helicopters

to land smoothly within the platform marking circle

and then flew to the target sea area

to conduct shipboard landing training

With high winds and rough seas

the pilots repeatedly adjusted the aircraft's attitude

to accurately complete the landing training

In the cross-day-and-night maritime search and rescue training

the crew

quickly located the "water target"

and the rescuers swiftly secured the safety rope

to transport the "water target" to the cabin

As the last helicopter landed smoothly

this training concluded successfully

and the troops' combat readiness was further enhanced during the training
