Reborn: The System Forces Me to Enlist

Xiang Jingtian is a rich, handsome, straight-A student from a wealthy family, but all he wants is to lie flat at home like a salted fish. To stop his family from pushing him to study, he fast-track...

Chapter 56 Flight Training 4

Soon someone got on the simulator first. The first thing he did was to check whether the instruments and functions were intact. After confirmation, he fastened his seat belt and started the engine. Then the pilot had to inform the tower and request takeoff. After the request was approved, he started taxiing. After the takeoff speed was reached, he could pull the joystick. Unexpectedly, this guy pulled too much, causing the plane to tilt back too much and crash.

Bai Ying said: "It's okay, it's normal to be inexperienced the first time. Come down, practice more and reflect on it. Next one."

With the experience of the first one, the others also learned lessons and paid attention to details, but there were still problems. Either the speed or the direction was not well controlled. It turned out that flying a plane is not an easy task.

Then it was Xiang Jingtian's turn. He had a pilot's license and also had systematic driving skills. He was very familiar with these things. He could operate the plane as soon as he got into the cockpit. His flying skills were better than those of professional pilots.

After a quick operation, they were out of the simulator. As soon as they came out, Baiying asked, "Not bad. Have you flown a plane before?"

Xiang Jingtian didn't hide it and replied: "Well, I got my pilot's license two years ago, so it's just a small thing for me to open this."

Bai Ying said, "No wonder. Otherwise, flying a plane for the first time would have some problems. In that case, how about you try the simulator for the third-generation aircraft?"

Xiang Jingtian nodded to indicate that it was no problem. He had wanted to fly a fighter jet for a long time, but he never had the chance. Now that he had the opportunity, he naturally had to seize it. Although it was only a simulation now, as long as the underground training was no problem, he would have the opportunity to come into contact with a real plane.

The feeling of getting on this third-generation aircraft is different from the first-generation. There are more equipment on it, and it is filled with various instruments and buttons. Xiang Jingtian started the plane according to the steps. The plane was very stable, without any drag, as if it had been flying for a long time.

Seeing how steady he was, Bai Ying said into the microphone, "Can you perform the maneuvers? Your normal flight is fine."

This was the sentence Xiang Jingtian had been waiting for. Fighter jets are for fighting. When fighting, they have to perform various tactical moves to kill the enemy just like humans. The only difference is that airplanes cannot be as flexible as humans. It tests the pilot's operating level.

Xiang Jingtian replied: "No problem, I'll try."

White Eagle said: "Okay, you stretch your height first, and then follow my instructions."

Soon the plane reached the designated altitude, and White Eagle issued instructions through the headset: "It's time to start, first roll sideways."

Xiang Jingtian easily performed the action after receiving the command. Bai Ying continued, "Next, you will do the yaw and pitch rotation in turn."

After receiving the order, Xiang Jingtian immediately started to maneuver. The whole process was perfect and there was nothing to complain about.

White Eagle continued, "The difficulty increases next, with rolls, jumps, and sharp turns."

After receiving the instructions, Xiang Jingtian still completed the action perfectly.

Baiying added some other maneuvers later, and Xiang Jingtian completed them all as expected. Some of the maneuvers could only be done by ace pilots, but he could do them all, which showed how advanced his skills were.

After flying for a while, White Eagle asked him to land. After the plane came to a stop, White Eagle asked, "Are you sure you've never flown a fighter jet before? I feel like you've been flying for a long time. Your skills are comparable to those of ace pilots."

Xiang Jingtian said: "Today is really my first time flying a fighter jet. I learned all these moves from books."

The people around sighed when they heard this. If one could really learn to fly a plane by reading books, then our country would not have to spend so much energy on training pilots.

Xiang Jingtian said to Bai Ying: "Instructor, can I drive the simulation cabin of the fourth-generation aircraft?"

Bai Ying said, "You go and try it. You've mastered the third-generation aircraft so well, so the fourth-generation aircraft should be no problem."

Xiang Jingtian found an empty fourth-generation aircraft simulation cabin and sat down. This fourth-generation aircraft simulation cabin was extremely advanced. Those complicated mechanical instruments were gone, replaced by multi-functional, monochrome or color cathode ray tube (CRT) or liquid crystal (LCD) display screens. In addition to displaying the information of the replaced instruments, these screens can also integrate information from different sources and provide it in an overlapping or switching manner. For example, after integrating the color digital map with the navigation system, the aircraft's position on the map and the nearby terrain can be displayed on the screen. In addition to the cockpit, the fourth-generation aircraft also has better stealth performance, stronger maneuverability, stronger supersonic cruise performance, etc.

To be honest, it is impossible to fly a fourth-generation aircraft without professional training. The equipment inside is very sophisticated, and you don’t know what it is for without training. But for Xiang Jingtian, it was the same. He just changed the aircraft to fly. After some operations, the plane took off. This made Bai Ying unexpected. He didn’t expect that this kid could actually fly a fourth-generation aircraft. It took him a long time to learn how to operate it. But the young man in front of him actually started it so easily, and his movements looked so skillful. It’s really frustrating to compare yourself with others.
