"Landing on Waves, Tempering Iron Wings! A Certain Unit of the Southern Theater Navy Organizes Day-and-Night Shipboard Flight Training"
Recently
the Navy of the Southern Theater Command organized
cross-day-and-night shipboard flight training
aimed at honing the joint operational capabilities of ships and aircraft


With the sea breeze blowing and waves surging
at the commander's order
several helicopters took off
flying towards the mission area
The pilots locked onto the ship's position
establishing a precise descent trajectory

"Landing is possible"
The pilots closely monitored the instruments and shipboard guidance signals
constantly adjusting their posture
maneuvering the fighter jets smoothly towards the deck
"200 meters, 100 meters, 50 meters......."
"Good position, you can land"
The pilots decisively lowered the distance rod
the fighter jets landed accurately within the deck's target circle


As dusk fell
the training transitioned to the night landing phase
visibility decreased and the sea breeze intensified
the ship continued to sway
putting the pilots' skills and psychology to the test


Relying on the ship's lights and guidance instructions
the pilots assessed their altitude and speed
steadily corrected their flight path
seizing the stable window for landing on the deck
hovering, descending, and touching down in one smooth motion

This training effectively tested
the pilots' capabilities for all-weather emergency response
in complex maritime and aerial environments
further solidifying
the troops' all-domain maritime combat skills

The Southern Theater Command Navy conducted day and night flight training for shipboard landings in the South China Sea. Multiple helicopters participated in the exercise, which aimed to enhance ship-aircraft coordination capabilities. Pilots practiced landing on a ship under challenging conditions, testing their skills in complex maritime environments.
