Wang Qiang, who had been muttering about Li Fan, now stared at him with his eyes wide open in disbelief, his mouth hanging open. After a long while, he came to his senses and stammered, "Li Fan, you're... you're amazing! I thought you were putting a lot of effort into theoretical study, but I didn't expect you to have mastered all this knowledge in just a short time. You're truly a hidden talent! I... I'm impressed!"

As he spoke, he scratched his head, his face full of embarrassment, feeling ashamed of his previous narrow-minded thinking.

The other team members also echoed this, and everyone praised Li Fan, curious about how he did it.

"Li Fan, do you have any unique learning secrets? Please share them with us!" a team member asked expectantly.

"Yeah, yeah, your progress is so fast, it feels like you're cheating!" another team member also joked.

Li Fan just smiled and scratched his head, a little shy on his face, and said modestly: "I just spent a little more time and effort than everyone else. In fact, as long as you study hard, everyone can master it well. I just thought that since I chose to come here to learn flying, I must learn every knowledge point thoroughly, otherwise how can I live up to my dream."

During the countless days of studying late into the night, Li Fan silently told himself that he must lay a solid theoretical foundation, use practical actions to shatter those questioning voices, and move steadily towards his dream of the blue sky, step by step.

Now, relying on his own efforts and talent, he has delivered an amazing answer in the theoretical learning stage.

After successfully conquering the "fortress" of flight theory knowledge with his unremitting efforts and extraordinary talent,

Li Fan and his squadron members faced a new challenge - the simulated flight training phase.

On this day, the sun shone on the open training ground of the flight academy.

The simulated flight cabins are neatly arranged, like giant steel beasts about to go into battle, exuding a mysterious and desirable atmosphere.

The trainees walked into the simulated flight cabin in an orderly manner with excitement and nervousness.

This is the first time for everyone to get so close to these flight simulators.

Various realistic operating buttons and instrument panels in the cabin are densely packed on the control panel in front of them, and the flashing lights seem to be calling them to drive and explore this virtual blue sky.

Li Fan followed the team, looking at everything around him that was familiar yet unfamiliar, feeling a lot of emotions in his heart.

He knew that every button and every instrument panel was the only way to the sacred dream of actually flying a fighter plane.

The simulated flight training at this moment means that I am one step closer to the blue sky in my heart.

He secretly clenched his fists and swore in his heart that he must perform well.

I must not let down the efforts I have made during this period, and I must not disappoint my grandfather and comrades who have always supported me.

Team member Xiao Zhang said excitedly to the people around him: "Oh, we can finally practice.

I have learned so much theoretical knowledge before, and now it can be put to use.

I am so nervous and excited at the same time!"

“Yeah, yeah, it feels like I’m about to embark on a mysterious adventure.

"But to be honest, I'm a little unsure. After all, there's a big gap between theory and practice." Team member Xiao Li responded, his eyes gleaming with excitement and a hint of trepidation.

However, when we actually started the actual operation, we realized that it was much more difficult than we had imagined.

Although simulated flight is only carried out in a virtual environment, it requires extremely high precision in operation.

Every subtle movement and every button press affects the status and success of the flight.

After entering the simulated flight cabin and sitting in the driver's seat, Li Fan took a deep breath and began to prepare for takeoff according to the steps he had learned before.

He first carefully checked the status of each indicator light on the dashboard to confirm whether each system was started normally.

He was still muttering, "The power supply is normal, the hydraulic system is normal, the fuel pressure... well, that's normal too."

Then, he placed his hand on the throttle lever and held it gently, recalling the key points of takeoff operation explained by the instructor.

After starting the engine, push the throttle lever slowly to gradually increase the engine thrust.

At the same time, keep your eyes on key instruments such as the tachometer, airspeed indicator, and attitude indicator.

Li Fan carefully pushed the throttle lever and watched the pointer on the tachometer begin to turn slowly.

The roar of the engine gradually sounded in the simulated flight cabin, and the vibration made him feel as if he was really in a fighter plane about to take off.

"The speed has reached 80 knots, maintain it, and wait a little longer..." Li Fan looked at the instrument and calculated silently in his mind.

When the airspeed indicator needle pointed to 130 knots, according to the operating procedure, it was time to pull up the joystick to raise the nose of the aircraft.

But at this moment, perhaps because of nervousness, he exerted too much force and raised the nose of the plane too high.

The aircraft's attitude suddenly became somewhat out of control, and a slight alarm sounded in the simulated flight cabin, indicating that the aircraft's attitude was abnormal.

Li Fan hurriedly adjusted the joystick, trying to restore the aircraft's attitude to a stable state, with beads of sweat already appearing on his forehead.

After much difficulty, the aircraft stabilized and entered the normal climbing phase.

But this unsmooth takeoff operation made him feel a little annoyed, and he secretly blamed himself for not controlling it well from the beginning.

When flying in the air, posture adjustment is a big deal.

Li Fan needs to pay attention to the data displayed on the instrument panel, such as the altimeter, heading indicator and attitude indicator.

At the same time, flexibly operate the joystick and pedals according to the changes in wind direction and airflow in the simulated environment.

For example, when encountering a crosswind, you need to properly step on one side of the pedal and fine-tune the joystick to keep the aircraft's heading from deviating.

Keeping an aircraft flying steadily is like dancing on a tightrope, and there is no room for carelessness.

But it is not that easy to operate. Once, the flight simulation system simulated a strong turbulence and the plane suddenly shook.

Li Fan was a little flustered for a moment. Although he tried hard to control the joystick and pedals, the plane still tilted to a certain extent.

He stared at the instrument panel nervously, trying to recall the method of handling turbulence, and kept repeating in his mouth: "Hold steady, hold steady...press the stick to the left, add a little right rudder..."

It took a lot of effort to get the plane back to stable flight. By this time, his back was already soaked with sweat.

The landing phase is the key to the entire flight process.

The speed control during landing, the grasp of the descent angle and all operations at the moment of landing all require near-perfect precision.

Otherwise, dangerous situations may arise.

During a training session, Li Fan first adjusted the aircraft to enter the glide path as required during the landing process.

Keep your eyes fixed on the descent indicator and airspeed indicator on the instrument, and maintain the appropriate descent angle and speed.

But when the plane gradually approached the runway, he found that the speed was slightly faster than the preset value. He panicked and hurriedly tried to slow down by reducing the throttle.

However, due to the poor timing and amplitude of the operation, the aircraft descended too quickly.

As a result, at the moment of touching the ground, the powerful inertia caused the simulator to "run off the runway" like a horse running away from its reins.

A hazard alarm was triggered in the simulation system.

The sharp alarm sounded in the simulated flight cabin, causing Li Fan's face to turn red instantly, and his heart was filled with regret.

Outside the cabin, some team members saw this scene through the observation window and couldn't help laughing.

Wang Qiang folded his arms across his chest and stood aside, muttering quietly, "Huh, I thought he was so powerful.

It doesn't matter if you learn theoretical knowledge well, when it comes to actual operation, you will be exposed. That's it."

Xiao Liu, a team member next to him, heard what Wang Qiang said and agreed: "That's right, I saw that he made such rapid progress in theoretical study before.

I thought he was omnipotent, but I didn't expect that when it comes to real skills, he is no match for me."

Wang Qiang raised his lips slightly, with a hint of pride, and continued: "I told you, flying is not something you can do just by memorizing theories.

He must have real skills, let’s see how he ends up.”

At this time, the squadron leader Zhao Gang came over, looked at them seriously, and said, "It's not right for you to make sarcastic remarks here.

Who hasn't made mistakes since they started training? If you have the time, you should practice your own skills instead of talking nonsense here."

After hearing this, Wang Qiang and others immediately restrained their expressions and dared not say anything more.

Facing the ridicule of the crowd and his own mistakes one after another, Li Fan did not lose heart.

Instead, I quickly adjusted my mindset.

He knows very well that the current setbacks are just stepping stones to success. As long as he can learn lessons from failure, he will definitely achieve a breakthrough.

So, after each training session, other students had already left, but Li Fan stayed alone in the flight simulator.

Watch the video playback of your own operations repeatedly.

He carefully reviewed the video frame by frame, not missing any details.

While reading, I recorded in detail the problems that occurred at each operation node in the notebook.

For example, at what moment did the speed control deviate, whether the operating range of the joystick was too large, etc.

Also mark down your thoughts at the time and the corresponding analysis of the causes of the errors.

Once, Li Fan took his notebook to ask for advice from his old student Brother Chen, and said sincerely: "Brother Chen, look at me when I landed.

I always can't control the speed well. I also analyzed it and felt that I always can't grasp the timing when I operate.

You are very experienced, please give me some pointers."

Brother Chen took the notebook, carefully read what Li Fan had written, then smiled and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Xiao Li,
