Chinese people's aircraft carrier dream began in Liaoning ship, it is the people's navy from offshore to the ocean an important symbol. 2017 New Year's Day, the people of the country in the rest of the holidays, the Chinese navy in the vast territory of the motherland but to be. Starting from December 23, the naval aircraft carrier Liaoning ship formation team launched a cross-sea training test. From the Bohai Sea to the South China Sea, carried out high-intensity multi-wave carrier training. Liaoning warship formation arrived in the South China Sea after the January 2 exercise of the multi-wave high-F -15 carrier-based fighter-intensive fighter and recycling, the air plus oil, air combat and many other training.
January 2 users uploaded the latest release of a sea area of the South China Sea air no-fly zone notice, January 3, 2:00 pm to 4:30 pm, the navy in southern Sanya near the waters of military exercises. The no-fly zone is rectangular with a height limit of sea level to 15,000 meters of airspace.
This air ban announcement contains two very unusual information: First, the time schedule, from 2:00 to 16:30 pm, for 14.5 hours. Second, airspace restrictions, from sea level to 15,000 meters. Means that this is a start from the early morning of the sea and air exercises, combined with the formation of the Liaoning naval fleet is currently stationed in a naval port in Hainan, indicating that the formation of Liaoning and F-15 carrier-based aircraft will participate in exercises, and night aircraft carrier aircraft movements .
Carrier aircraft night landing, aircraft carrier combat applications is the most difficult technology, at night and complex weather landing landing, is the Liaoning ship and the F-15 carrier-based aircraft forces the final face of the difficulties, but also the biggest challenge. The exercise which marks the comprehensive combat capability of Liaoning ship and on a new level.
Aircraft carrier take-off and landing at night is of great significance. With the ability to take off and land at night, with great tactical flexibility, do not have the ability to take off and landing at night the fleet will be in a passive beaten situation. Looking at the classic war of the past, we found a lot of aircraft carrier operations are occupied by night positions, in the night for air conditioning, aircraft take off at dawn, early morning attack, the enemy sleepy hazy time to surprise attack. For example, during World War II British aircraft carrier air raid Taranto, is the history of the first carrier night attack. Japan attacked Pearl Harbor is also the morning to fly aircraft, before sunrise arrived in Pearl Harbor. The US Navy since 1991, several aircraft carrier operations since the Gulf War, land-based aircraft to attack most of the night action.
Carrier to take off and land at night to explore very early, but the application is relatively late. The US Navy in April 1925 to use the Langley aircraft carrier to complete the first night landing, to 1929, the night landing is all the US carrier-based aircraft pilot essential training subjects, each pilot at least 4 times a year at night landing, But mostly in the bright full moon, or sunset hours. World War II aircraft carrier of the night fighting the majority of choice early morning attack, the aircraft returned to the ship when the task is to complete the task during the day. Night take-off is relatively easy, but it is dangerous to land at night. In order to prevent submarine attacks, the aircraft carrier in the night but also for light control. It was described in the dark night organized a large cluster of aircraft landing the difficulty comparable to the moon. In the coral sea battle, a few lost in the direction of the Japanese carrier-based aircraft actually wrongly trying to land in the United States, York City, but because of the identification signal is not, was gunner found and one of them shot down, the other a few hurried escape Night in the.
In the famous battle of Mariana, the Japanese combined fleet suffered a defeat, three aircraft carriers were sunk, more than four hundred carrier-based aircraft were shot down. The US Navy in the same aircraft carrier battle with the loss of only 20 aircraft, but the aircraft carrier at night but lost 77 aircraft, air combat losses of 4 times.
The United States 58th task force at night to recover hundreds of carrier-based aircraft, several aircraft carriers are in the light control state, the pilot can not see the carrier deck, triggering a big mess. And even the aircraft to a destroyer mast lamp as a guide signal, cleanly landed on the destroyer next to the sea .....
US Navy Lieutenant Mitchell was forced to make a bold decision: he ordered all aircraft carriers all lights, flight deck lights, the remaining aircraft landed smoothly. This command saved a lot of pilot life, but still lost more than 70 aircraft carrier.
Carrier-based aircraft on the ship has been described as "dancing on the tip." Landing aircraft like high-speed movement in the lead, more than 200 kilometers per hour of the aircraft, must be accurately landed in the carrier deck between the blocking cable, the difficulty and manipulation of technology far more than driving a general aircraft. Carrier-borne aircraft pilot risk factor is five times the astronauts, ordinary pilots of 20 times. The United States has just developed the aircraft carrier, the average every 2 days fell 1 plane, sacrifice more than 1,000 pilots.

I second that! I really want to see some night ops pix...yes I do.
I remember back in the day aboard the JFK.......sometimes we'd have...

Those are fantastic pics Jeff.
I have never launched nor trapped on a snow covered deck before.
What about you Gerry? You ever work in such white out conditions on top? That's nuts!

I meant to say I've never seen anyone launched or landed in snow before! DUH!
Completely unusual any date, locations ?
I don't think possible in SCS
Sometimes ice in Bohai Sea...
Never seen ops in snow. I have seen pictures from the Korean War of CVs operating in snow. I've been on the flight deck when it was snowing..just lightly and in severe weather like thunderstorms. But the operations during thunderstorms were always cancelled. Except once on Midway.
Later I may post pictures of CVs in the snow in the carrier thread during the Korean conflict.
