The strongest pilot ever

Chapter 8 Flight Simulation
8 flight simulation
In the final selection stage of recruitment, elimination selection is adopted.

The first level is the physical examination. If you fail the physical examination, you will not be eligible to participate in the next stage of selection. The second level is physical fitness.

To pass one level after another, it is not necessary to perform well in every assessment, but it is necessary to pass every level.

Through the hard work of the past few days, Fade Chen finally passed five tests and successfully entered the psychological selection process.

At this time, among the four people in their dormitory, only he and Li Han were still in the recruiting bureau, and the other two had already been eliminated and left early.

However, Li Han did not come to live with Fade Chen again. He applied to his superiors and ran to another dormitory and never came back.

This is exactly what Fade Chen wanted, because he is an introvert, he doesn't like noisy environments, and likes quiet, so this night, without Li Han's noisy him, he is very comfortable.

Time passed quickly, and it was the next day in the blink of an eye. On this day, the psychological selection officially started.

The first thing to do is to answer the questions.

Then there's the flight sim.

I did a flight simulation when I rechecked.

At that time, some people also called it a special ability test. At first glance, it sounds awesome, but it is actually a flight ability test. It is similar to flying an airplane on the computer. The right hand handle controls the up and down and tilt, and the left hand throttle stick.

However, there is no enemy plane on the computer screen, and there is no link to shoot down the plane.

On the computer screen, there are endless continents and blue sky.

There is a large crosshair in the middle of the screen, but the examinee himself is another crosshair. The examinee’s task is to complete the overlapping of the two crosshairs through the control of the right hand and the foot pedal under the interference of various winds. The longer, the higher the score.

At the same time, candidates also have to do math problems, such as: 9, 3, 4, 2, 5, 9, 3, 4 appear on the screen, only 3 seconds, you have to write down and calculate the last number of their sum, and then use Choose the answer with your left hand.

Very abnormal, really abnormal, if you don't pay attention, you will deviate very far, because the handle is very sensitive.

The full score of 9.5, the lowest score, what Fade Chen has seen is 0.5, even if you don't open it, the score is still the same.

This is the method of examination during the re-election.

However, Fade Chen feels that new tricks will definitely be played during the selection stage, because this year's selection is slightly different from previous years. He may have to select a group of outstanding pilots for special training, and finally directly get started with the J-20, so this year The simulated flight will definitely not be as simple as it used to be, let alone the same as when rechecking.

Sure enough, when everyone went to the testing center and took a look, it was a new thing and a brand new way of playing.

The first is to do the questions.

There was a set of questions on the laptop, and the examiner didn't say what the questions were, but after Fade Chen did it, he knew that this was the EPQ questionnaire, Gong Yaoxian's 88-question version, and the items of the four scales were mixed and arranged.Respondents choose to answer each item by selecting "yes" or "no".

After completing the questions, I started to do the flight simulation.

The instrument is Beijing Lantian Aviation Technology Co., Ltd. XX type fixed-wing aircraft flight simulator.

There are flight simulation cockpit, control mechanism, ring screen projection system, LCOS stereo projector, sound system and so on.

It can be regarded as a relatively advanced set of equipment.

Before the simulated flight takes off, the examiner wears the Spirit multi-channel biofeedback instrument to the candidate in the lounge. Channel B is ECG, electrode No. 1 is placed under the left clavicle, and electrode No. 2 is placed at the xiphoid process.

After the preparation, the candidates sat quietly for 5 minutes and recorded their ECG data.Then enter the simulated cockpit and start flying for a total of 30 minutes, while recording ECG data.

After the flight, sit quietly in the lounge for 5 minutes while recording the ECG data.

The flight subject is APR take-off and landing route flight, the virtual station airport is ×× airport, the flight weather is set to day flight, the visibility is >10km, the crosswind is 50 degrees, and the wind speed is 10m/s.

Flight subjects include 4 take-off and landing processes.

Route setting: take-off rate of 10m/s, make a turn after 20km, and set the slope at 30° when turning, and then make a second turn after level flight 45km, control level flight altitude at 800m, level flight speed at airspeed 500km /h, lifting rate ±1-2m/s.After the second turn, it will fly 15km to make three turns. After the third turn, it will fly 45km to make four turns. After the fourth turn, it will fly 15km and then start to land.Each take-off and landing is about 10 minutes, and the go-around cycle is repeated 7.5 times, a total of 3 minutes.

Of course, before the formal exam, the examiner will give the candidate a complete introduction to how to fly and how to operate, and what is called one turn and two turns, and demonstrate while explaining.But it is obvious that 90.00% of the nine candidates can't remember that much, even if they remember it in their minds, it is impossible to operate it proficiently.

To be honest, the difficulty of this flight simulation is much higher than that of the re-selection, especially for someone like Fade Chen who has never been in contact with aircraft, it is even more difficult, let alone the operation, It is not easy just to write down the things taught by the examiner!
But this is what the recruiting bureau wants.

If everyone is proficient in the entire operation process of the flight simulation, then the purpose of selection will not be achieved. What the recruiting bureau will look at is everyone's reaction and status in this extreme situation.

When the examiner finished introducing the whole process, the candidates present were all ashamed and desperate.

Except Li Han.

Of course, the examiner did not introduce the flight simulation to all the candidates. The candidates entered in batches, with four people in each batch, and the four people took the test together, that is to say, there were four flight simulators working at the same time.

Only those who participated in the assessment will know how to take the test, and those who did not participate in the assessment can only wait in the lounge far outside.

In this assessment, Fade Chen was not with Li Han, and Fade Chen was placed in the last batch.

But after listening to the examiner's introduction, Li Han still couldn't help but smile on his face.

"Hehe, Fade Chen must be stupid in this exam. He must have never heard of turning twice!"

Li Han was secretly happy.

Thinking that Fade Chen would throw away his helmet and armor, he couldn't help being happy.

In the assessment of this subject, he was finally able to beat Fade Chen and get No.1.

"Li Han, come on, you have piloted a plane before, this test is like a child's test for you, you can definitely do it!"

He took a deep breath and strode into the simulation pod.

At this time, Fade Chen didn't know the specific assessment process yet.

However, even if he knew, he would call Li Han an idiot!
That guy thought that since he had piloted a helicopter and had driving experience, he would definitely get a full score in this test. He really had a good idea.

In fact, many people are wrong!

Many people think that this flight simulation test is about the candidate's flying talent, that is, the ability to fly a plane, but in fact, it is not, or most of them are not.

Flight simulation is actually testing the psychological state of the candidates, or in other words, let you simulate flying a plane, not to see if your ability to fly a plane is strong, but to see if your psychological characteristics are suitable for flying!

Flying is a high-risk operation with high risk, difficulty, and high accident rate. Flight stress is an important factor affecting flight safety.

In order to reduce the incidence of flight accidents and improve flight safety, researchers in the field of human factors engineering have done a lot of work around the relationship between "man-machine-environment".The results of the investigation on the causes of flight accidents show that 50-80% of flight accidents are caused by human factors, among which pilot errors account for a higher proportion of fatal flight accidents, and pilot errors are essentially a manifestation of poor stress coping.

At present, the research on "human" factors mainly focuses on human's stress ability, stress response ability training and so on.These abilities are influenced by multiple factors such as personality traits, emotions, cognitive functions, etc.

The psychological assessment of the selected candidates is actually to examine the psychological state of the candidates to see if everyone is mentally suitable to be a pilot.

The difficulty of this inspection increased greatly. The superiors used very professional tools, used the EPQ scale to measure the personality of the candidates, and analyzed the changes in HRV and P300 during the simulated flight, so as to identify which ones are suitable to be pilots. Which ones are not suitable to be pilots, which ones can only be used as transport aircraft pilots, which ones can be fighter pilots, and which ones can get started with the J-20 after a short training.

In other words, Li Han's stupid idea is really wrong. The examiners don't care whether the examinee can fly the plane out of a flower. What the examiners care most about is the examinee's flight Whether the mental state is stable, so the fact is just the opposite. The more eager the candidate is to show his flying talent, the more difficult and dangerous movements he makes, the lower the score will be.

In the words of some old pilots, the superiors’ favorite pilots are not those who are adventurous and disobedient, but those who are very obedient, have a very stable mental state, but dare to take risks when necessary and dare to give it a go!
At this time, Fade Chen didn't know this yet, but his heart was very calm, he was very confident, he believed that he would be able to easily pass this level, not to mention the first, but the front row is sure.

Because his character is very suitable to be a pilot.

Moreover, he had carefully studied all aspects of the psychological test in the pilot recruitment center before, so he knew it well, and he would give specific answers in the test later. In other words, his preparation for the test was perfect.

What's more, he also has an attribute picking system.

After a while, the first candidate to participate in the selection came out in disgrace.

But the examiner stood aside and did not allow Fade Chen and the others to move around, let alone communicate with the candidates who had already referred.

"This is troublesome, I can't find the attributes!" Fade Chen was secretly distressed.

But at this moment, there was a ding sound, like metal falling to the ground. Fade Chen took a closer look, but it turned out that the candidate's body had an attribute falling off.

"Isn't it necessary to defeat the opponent or do good deeds to gain attributes?" Fade Chen was taken aback.

"No!" The system's voice sounded at the right time: "If you defeat an opponent or help an injured companion, you will definitely be able to pick up attributes, but in addition to these two situations, you can also pick up attributes. For example, at this time, just Under such circumstances, you may not always be able to pick up attributes, it depends on fate, sometimes you can pick it up, sometimes you may not be able to pick it up."

After regaining his senses, Fade Chen quickly picked up the attribute dropped by the candidate.

[You saw a downcast candidate, and you felt sympathy for him in your heart, so you picked up the attribute that he dropped, psychological stability +1, your psychological quality is getting better, and your personality traits are more suitable for being a pilot! 】
