Take Off! Sharpening the Sword in the Sea and Sky! A Certain Unit of the Eastern Theater Navy Aviation Continues to Organize Cross-Day and Night Flight Training

Recently
the naval aviation unit of the Eastern Theater Command
has continuously organized cross-day-and-night flight training
to hone the troops' all-time, all-domain combat capabilities

In the afternoon
with the tower's command issued
the first batch of fighter jets sequentially taxied and took off
heading to the designated airspace

Inside the cockpit
the pilots closely monitored various data
real-time interpreting flight attitudes and routes
successively conducting
instrument flight, multi-aircraft coordination, and other training tasks

“Communication equipment malfunction!”
Upon receiving the special situation report
the captain quickly assessed
and commanded the crew to switch to the backup communication link
After close cooperation
the air-ground communication was restored to normal


This training was fully embedded with a tactical background
with targeted settings for electromagnetic interference
target identification, equipment malfunctions, and other special situations
through unscripted, on-the-spot adjustments
forcing the officers and soldiers to enhance their battlefield adaptability in difficult and critical situations


During the flight intervals
the maintenance personnel took their positions according to their assignments
and various specialties synchronized their operations
to prepare adequately for the subsequent batches of takeoffs

Adjusting altitude, aligning with the runway, and landing smoothly
the fighter jets that completed the daytime training tasks returned one after another
the ground crew immediately moved forward
to carry out equipment checks, fuel replenishment, and other support tasks


After nightfall
another batch of fighter jets took off in succession
successively conducting
night instrument flight, night formation, and other training tasks
to hone their combat readiness


The naval aviation forces
are always ready for combat
