At the beginning of the new snowfall, on the shore of Bohai Bay, the sun was still hidden below the horizon, and a roar was already ringing on a certain military airfield.
For Wang Xinyu, a flight cadet of a certain navy department, today is a special day -- as the first batch of students of the department to implement the "team system" of teaching, after more than two months of flight training, he finally ushered in his first solo flight. Unlike previous cadets, this was a solo flight without technical command.
23-year-old Wang Xinyu was excited and nervous, and kept flattening the corners of the flight suit in front of the mirror. After walking to the fighter plane, he kept muttering something ...... while conducting a pre-flight inspectionEntering the cockpit, taking a deep breath, driving, and sliding out, a series of actions are completed in one go, and the plane soars into the sky like an arrow from the string.
Immediately after that, other fighters took off from the runway one after another ......
This time, the rear cabin of the plane was quiet, no one shook the pole to make any prompts, and Wang Xinyu would complete his first solo flight alone.
At this moment, the headset of the helmet was quiet, the tower commander no longer gave "voice control" guidance, and Wang Xinyu had to concentrate on controlling the attitude of the aircraft.
After hovering in the clouds several degrees, the plane aligned with the runway, pressed the rod and pedaled the rudder, adjusted the slope, maintained the attitude, and landed along the glide curve.
Bang" - the sound of heavy tires hitting the ground in the past sounded particularly light today.
Eventually, the plane landed smoothly. Wang Xinyu successfully completed the solo flight training of a certain subject, and the assessment team gave a good result.
I hope that there is a password command in the headset, but I am also afraid that there is a password command in the headset. "The first solo flight faced the situation of no technical command, Wang Xinyu admitted that he had mixed feelings.
If the deviation of the trainee in the solo flight process is too large and affects the flight safety, and the tower commander has to conduct technical command through the headset, the trainee and the instructor will be checked for problems in teaching and group training.
This is a new breakthrough in the 'solo' standard for flight cadets. According to the leaders of the department, the flight students complete the solo flight without any technical command, reducing the dependence on the rear cabin instructor and the tower commander, which is not only the test of the students' ability to fly the fighter alone, but also a great challenge to the students' psychology and body.
The breakthrough in the solo flight standard comes from a series of changes in the training standards and training modes of flight cadets. The department explores and innovates a new teaching model of "team system" composed of instructors, cadets, agency personnel and support backbones, comprehensively analyzes the technical characteristics, flight progress and safety Xi of the trainees, and effectively solves the practical contradictions such as the uneven distribution of key instructors and the lack of experience of young instructors.
Team checks, collective consultations, the quality and efficiency of the training of flying talents have been greatly improved, and a group of "newborn calves" have tempered the confidence of "not afraid of tigers".

New circumstances give rise to new models
"Team-based" teaching came into being
In the first aviation theory class, Zhang Luoxuan, a flight cadet of a certain navy department, felt full of "favor" -- in the classroom where the desks were arranged in a "U" shape, 12 cadets and 5 instructors staggered in a circle. In the midst of it, Zhang Luoxuan found that sitting in any position, teachers and students can communicate in close proximity.
Hello everyone, my name is Liu Fei, I am the leader of our teaching team, and our team will grow together in the next year. Liu Fei, the leader of the second teaching team, took the lead in getting up and introducing himself.
My name is Zhang Yuliang, and I am the flight technology assistant of our team, and you can come to me at any time if you have any questions in the future. ”
I am Wang Gang, an observer at the station meteorological station, and I am honored to join our teaching team as a support technology teaching assistant, thank you!”
The protagonist on stage is always precisely illuminated by spotlights. In the new teaching model, we are the protagonists, focusing on multiple 'spotlights'. After class, Zhang Luoxuan's feelings resonated with the students.
From "master with apprentice" to all-round team support, this is the change brought about by the "team system" teaching. The department has changed the previous practice of relying on a single instructor to train students, integrated team resources, explored and innovated the "team system" teaching model composed of instructors, students, agency personnel and support backbones, and regulated the teaching and training activities of students throughout the process.
Transformation comes from shocks. Speaking of the original intention of the teaching reform, Team Leader Liu said frankly that the new syllabus has new requirements for the ability of students, the difficulty of training has increased accordingly, and the proportion of training time for tactical subjects has increased by nearly 20%. "These subjects are hard to bite, forcing us to think outside the box and grope for a complete reconstruction of the knowledge system and business model. ”
A leader who was directly involved in the design of teaching reform recalled to the reporter two past events that touched him deeply
When the leader was commanding at the tower, he found that according to the traditional teaching mode, the trainees piloted the fighters that took off and landed frequently on the runway, and many movements needed to be adjusted by him. In a solo flight assessment, after a student piloted a fighter plane into the air, he adjusted the control action for the trainee step by step at the control tower, and finally he "voice-controlled" the plane landed smoothly. "Such a 'nanny-style' teaching, even if he helps him pass the test, can he become an excellent combatant in the future?”
What made this leader even more memorable was that the two flight students he taught received a notice of grounding. When parting, one of the pilot students told him: "Although I did not have the opportunity to become a carrier-based pilot, I will always cherish my love for flying." Looking at the reluctant gaze of the students, he had mixed feelings in his heart. "How to reduce the elimination rate and improve the success rate is a problem that we have repeatedly thought about. ”
Through the investigation, the party committee of the ministry sorted out the "obstruction points" in talent training, such as the teaching content lagging behind the requirements of talent training, the lack of practical awareness in teaching, and the difficulty in meeting the actual needs of the quality and growth cycle of students.
They found that in order to accelerate the transformation from cadets to combatants and realize the seamless connection between the classroom and the battlefield during the long teaching cycle at the same time, it is necessary to closely follow the requirements of actual combat, scientifically set up teaching content, and increase the difficulty and intensity of training ......All of this is calling for a more scientific and efficient teaching model.
The biggest advantage of team-based teaching is that it has changed from simple technical teaching to comprehensive support of various disciplines, and has carried out all-round scientific training on each student's physical, psychological, flight theory and technology, and actual combat environment test, which is more targeted. The head of the ministry said.
Select talents, optimize the combination, and practice test ......From a single team pilot to a number of mature teaching teams going hand in hand, the "team system" teaching road has gone through a difficult exploration and run-in period, and has begun to reap the fruits of teaching reform.
The new model brings new benefits
"Multi-division collaboration" unleashes efficiency
In just a few seconds, the fighter plane, which was as light as a swallow just now, suddenly began to tremble, and as the angle increased further, the fighter plane violently tossed ......Under the dual effects of load and gravitational acceleration, flight student He Xingyu struggled to overcome the physical discomfort caused by the stall.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and the flight instructor brought the microphone to his mouth several times at the tower and put it down. At this time, He Xingyu took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and finally got out of danger with a series of accurate operations.
The completion of this dangerous subject training is a bold attempt decided by the teaching team after a comprehensive evaluation of He Xingyu's technical ability.
He Xingyu's plane landed smoothly. In the afternoon of the same day, a "quality analysis meeting" with the participation of 3 flight instructors, 1 maintenance cadre, 1 staff officer, and 1 station support backbone was launched as scheduled, and a comprehensive review of the flight was carried out, and the next training plan was proposed.
According to a survey conducted by the agency, the trainees generally reported that the "team system" teaching model has improved the efficiency of learning Xi, and "some actions that were unimaginable before can also fly." The data also confirms the teaching effect of the "team system" from another side, and the quality of talent training in the initial teaching stage of the department has been improved, and the success rate has increased by nearly 9 percentage points compared with previous years.
In the teaching team of flight student Han Junpeng, there are flight technical experts who have been flying safely for 25 years, a flight squadron leader who is responsible for team management, and a young instructor who is only 28 years old who is responsible for understanding the students' thoughts and daily life. Technical assistants are also elites in various positions, mechanical technicians interpret equipment operation, meteorological experts explain field security knowledge, and agency cadres participate in it to guide the training.
A teaching team is like a monitoring team that tracks and examines every day in my training life. Every time I hit a bottleneck, they organized experts to check and consult collectively. Han Junpeng said, "I feel that the more I learn, the more confident I become." ”
The fuselage is an all-aluminum construction, flat-head rivets, and a semi-monocoque structure ......In the lecture on "aircraft performance and structure", Assistant Professor Wang, who is in charge of aircraft maintenance technology of the fifth teaching team, has just completed the theoretical explanation, and the instructor Chai who is in charge of flight technology sitting below quickly took over the conversation and further explained the specific operation and disposal in combination with the actual flight.
It is not uncommon for two instructors to take the same class, which is not uncommon in the department. Listening to the "seamless" narration of the two instructors, the students also spoke or asked questions.
This 'multi-division collaboration' teaching model gives full play to the respective strengths of professional instructors and flight instructors, effectively solves the problem of the connection between knowledge transfer and skill training, theoretical teaching and flight training, and transforms theoretical knowledge into flight combat capability to the greatest extent. The head of the ministry said.
They also drew inferences from each other and simultaneously expanded the "team system" from the field of teaching to the field of assessment and certification.
This flight, the cockpit application feels pretty good. In the flight simulator room, Instructor Huang of the 14th teaching team held the assessment certification sheet in his hand, gave Chen Chen, a student who was simulating flight, a "problem", and scored on the spot according to the performance of the other party.
In order to get the "Quasi-Flight Permit", the trainees must go through 11 assessment content certifications, covering theoretical education, simulation training, ground drills, cockpit Xi and other aspects. At the end of the assessment, Chen Chen's palms were full of sweat, "If you don't pass the assessment, you will never be allowed to get on the plane."
From the original one-to-one assessment to the current certification team to certify the quality of students' flying and solo flight. The captain of the flight team told reporters that the "team system" assessment and certification scored each student's technical ability in an all-round way, releasing the vitality and efficiency of group training management, and providing important data guarantee for the next stage.
New standards call for new developments
"Box office awareness" has been upgraded
The lights-out signal has long passed, and flight instructor Guo Xueyang is still preparing for the "Standard Operating Procedures" course. This course is highly professional and boring, Guo Xueyang racked his brains to make courseware, used virtual operation software and training simulator to improve the teaching effect, and prepared to show his skills in the "Instructor Star" teaching activity.
Guo Xueyang said bluntly: "If the class is not good, the 'box office' may not be ideal, and the 'box office' has been unsatisfactory many times, and the instructor is also facing out." ”
The "box office" mentioned by Guo Xueyang is a new expansion after the implementation of the "team system" teaching. It has changed the previous practice of instructors selecting students according to their resumes, but has distributed detailed information such as each instructor's resume and high-quality courses to new students, and selected instructors based on the degree of recognition of the instructors by the students. "Our original intention is to promote the best match between teachers and students, and improve the teaching fit. The head of the ministry said.
In the past, you had to have a bucket of water for a glass of water for a student, but now for a glass of water, you have to have a river in your head that leads to the battlefield of the future. "The analogy of an instructor is very vivid. Nowadays, the number of votes for students to choose instructors has become a hard indicator for instructors to improve, in order to polish the "business card", every flight instructor is working hard to improve the "gold content" of teaching.
"The selection of instructors by students has not only changed the form, but more importantly, the re-recognition of the roles on and off the stage, as well as the profound changes in the teaching philosophy. Nowadays, the concept of "strengthening education first and strengthening oneself" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of every instructor.
Not long ago, a new batch of flight trainees immediately switched to physical strengthening training after entering the camp. The trainees found that the teaching team showed the figure of officers and soldiers of fraternal units, and they used various means to assess the physical strength and willpower of the trainees.
In order to introduce more high-quality resources into teaching, the department organized the same batch of outstanding cadets to set up cadet clubs to help each other learn from each other, invited outstanding graduates to join the team for teaching, introduced air force cadets to learn Xi exchanges, and invited backbone members of fraternal units to join the teaching team. "From the 'small team system' to the 'big team system', our team teaching has entered 20 times. ”
The reform of the teaching mode cannot be accepted as soon as it is good, and it is necessary to keep a close eye on the needs of the future battlefield and constantly explore and improve. Standing on the tower, the leader of the ministry said firmly.
Reporter's Notes
Feel the dialectic of "letting go" and "letting go".
Li Lin. On the steep cliffs of the Arctic, young barnacle geese spread their little wings and leap from the steep rocks for the first ...... to the sky and sea
Standing on the flight simulator deck of a Navy department, watching the warhawk leap up with the roaring sound of the engine, the figure of the barnacle goose chick suddenly appeared in my mind.
These two "leaps into the sky" are quite similar, both are the first time to fly alone, and they are both a leap from the land to the blue sky.
If the "first flight" of barnacle goose chicks is to survive - they are born on cliffs with no food, and only by flying down cliffs to forage for food can they survive;Then, the flight cadets' "untechnical command and solo flight" is also for survival, and in the treacherous sea and sky battlefield, only by practicing hard kung fu can they have a chance to win the battle. Therefore, for its educators, "letting go" is an inevitable choice.
In addition to being brave enough to "let go", barnacle goose parents will encourage their cubs by making a call at the bottom of the cliff during their first flight, and when they land safely, they will repeatedly teach them the skills of flying and hunting. The same is true of the flight instructors, who, although resolute and resolute in their flights, do their best to educate their students.
Mastering the dialectic of "letting go" and "letting go" is where the wisdom of education lies. After this group of "falconers" decisively introduced the training standards for flight cadets who directly docked with the battlefield, the scientific teaching mode also fed back higher standards for falconry. This also reminds us that education has never been a conservative job, it requires wisdom, but also courage and responsibility.
Standing at the moment when the great cause of strengthening the army is accelerating, revisiting the "to do what is needed to fight a war, to teach what is needed, to train what the troops need, so that the supply side of talent training and the demand side of the future battlefield are accurately connected", which is not only alarming, but also makes people think.
To educate people for war, "war" is the guide. The demand for the battlefield is in the first place, and the direction of talent training is in the first place. During the years of the revolutionary war, Comrade ** proposed to "learn from war Xi war" and asked the members of the Anti-Japanese University to familiarize themselves with the "wordless book of war". At present, the world's new military revolution is accelerating, new operational concepts are constantly emerging, and combat patterns are profoundly changing; in order to keep up with the requirements of modern warfare for the ability and quality of new-type military personnel, educators need to have the courage to let go of "absolute security" and truly train cadets in accordance with how a war is fought.
To educate people for war, "education" is the means. To cultivate the war eagle to win the sea and sky, it is necessary to put the quasi-scientific training standards and ability needs, and innovate the education model and education concept. ** Marshal once pointed out that "a scholar who teaches must chew the content of his coursework and pay attention to the teaching method", and at the same time "teach to learn the law". Educators should make good use of wisdom, pinpoint the core points of improving their ability to win wars, clear up the "obstruction points" that affect the quality of education, use resources and forces scientifically and efficiently, and accelerate the upgrading of the quality and efficiency of military education.
