Recently, a certain unit of the naval aviation of the Southern Theater Command

organized multiple shipborne helicopters

to conduct cross-day-and-night realistic flight training

to hone the troops' rapid response and joint combat capabilities

In the early stages of flight training

the unit held a safety risk assessment meeting

to evaluate safety risks and refine training plans

In a simulated combat environment

the pilots operated precisely

conducting formation flights in the designated airspace

with tasks such as land search and rescue, platform takeoff and landing

the crew members coordinated seamlessly

in the face of unexpected situations

quickly adjusting tactics and responding flexibly

successfully completing various training tasks

At the same time, the ground support personnel quickly entered a "wartime state"

various technical teams closely coordinated

to ensure that the helicopters completed inspections, refueling, and resupply tasks in the shortest time possible

they moved swiftly among the aircraft

ensuring the combat aircraft could take off safely

This cross-day-and-night flight training

honed the pilots' psychological quality and combat capabilities in complex environments

through high-intensity and high-difficulty training

the troops' level of combat readiness was further enhanced

laying a solid foundation for carrying out diverse military tasks
