“August 1″ on the eve of an air force regiment into two experimental training for a helicopter to complete the task plateau triumph, the opening of the air force helicopter altitude training ground, filling the air force of the helicopter in the mountainous region navigation Brahmaputra Canyon , mountain valley landing flight, maintenance and comprehensive support and many other blank, eight highly difficult withstand high altitude flight test.
Reporter with the helicopter flying an average elevation of 4,000 meters Brahmaputra Canyon, saw peaks towering, snow-capped mountains rise and fall, a strong airflow to the helicopter severe turbulence, breathing engine is boring, iron wings swirling, like a huge The “Iron Dragonfly” low-altitude flying in the valley of the river Pentium. Reporter glance out the window, ground sand, trees, rocks close to the belly as if, like water behind snatched to scary.
It is reported that Brahmaputra Canyon Grand Canyon, the world’s No. 1 length 504.6 km, maximum depth of 6009 meters, average depth of 2268 meters. Altitude training is to attend the two helicopters made. Before taking off from an airfield in western Sichuan, thousands of miles to fly to the Grand Canyon long-distance mobility, to take “from low to high, from light to heavy,” and gradually increase the height and load methods for hover landing flight paths, high-field landing difficult adaptive integrated flight training, has tackled the whole plateau load flight ceiling at high speed in 12 training problems.
Hover landing, spatial mobility, land search and rescue … … the flight, one by one insurance difficult assignments stage by turns, the reporter felt dizzy. However, the pilots are calm calm, carefully controlling the fighting eagles perform well, one after training.
It is reported that the steep snow-covered plateau region akin to finding the helicopter in the implementation of materials transport, emergency response and search and rescue mission staff has an irreplaceable value. To verify that the helicopter altitude domestic flights and capacity to carry out combat missions, the regiment this valuable certification to obtain a plateau more than 1,000 flight data, and explore the different elevations on the helicopter’s altitude performance control features, navigation features, communication features, limit load and other technical parameters.
