Pugachev wanted to be a pilot since he was a child. After graduating from high school, he was admitted to Iske Aviation School. 1968 On March 23rd, pugachev flew into the blue sky for the first time by La-29 jet. In the same year, the Aviation School established the Su -7β aircraft training brigade. Flight training is conducted in the Tajurog Training Group under the Aviation School, which is a gathering place for flight training experts. Pugachev thinks there are many excellent people and instructors in the aviation school. Pugachev's first instructor was π "Sazonov, and the mid-team leader was B. Gloucester. Krylov and Mazulin both work here. Whenever I recall them, pugachev is always full of gratitude: it was they who trained an inexperienced young man into a real pilot with their own wishes, skills and hands. After graduating from aviation school, pugachev became a flight instructor. For the next seven years, he taught pilots on the Su -7β plane. Pugachev doesn't want to be just a flight instructor, he also wants to be a test pilot. From 65438 to 0973, pugachev submitted an application for anthropology to the Test Pilot School of the Ministry of Aviation Industry. It is not easy to get permission, because it means leaving the training group and the army. The answer to the application is: either wait for the next year or give up the application. Finally, it was the then head of the regiment and now the deputy commander of the Air Force, B. Mikhail Irov, who helped. The application signed by him was sent to the headmaster first, and then to the commander of the military region. 1976, pugachev passed the selection examination, and then there was a long wait. At that time, the head of the delegation and the principal suggested that pugachev should be the deputy head of the district, or enter the Air Force Academy for further study, or wait for a reply from the test pilot school. Pugachev decided to choose to wait. 1June, 977, the admission notice of the test pilot school finally arrived. The training in the test pilot school is very high. There are teachers and scientists from the flight test institute and the Central Aerodynamics Research Institute. Pugachev thinks he can always meet good people, especially good teachers. The good people in the school are president φ Burtsev, tutor ο Drujinin, π Kurt Chekov, θ Karma and so on. They helped pugachev improve his flying skills. After graduating from the test pilot school, pugachev was assigned to the fighter brigade of the Flight Test Academy. A. Captain Muraviev, his officer and teacher, gave him great help. Pugachev met many people with rich flight test experience in the flight test institute, such as B. Gorki Jenko, A. Schederin, η Volcker, etc. Pugachev learned more about Sukhoi Design Bureau during his work in the Flight Test Institute. Sukhoi Design Bureau has outstanding test pilots: B Ilyushin, A Isakov and A komarov. They think it necessary to recruit young test pilots. 1980, pugachev became one of the candidates. After talking to the chief designer, Pugacho was transferred to Sukhoi Design Bureau. The first task given to pugachev by Sukhoi Design Bureau is also a historic task made by pugachev, which is to transfer the Su-17 aircraft from Akhtubinsk to Chernokhovsk. On the third day after the transition, Su-17 flew to Ripehook. I waited here for a week because of the unknown weather; It took another week to reach Bobrovich. Because Chernyahovsk is located on the Baltic Sea, the weather has been complicated, which leads to the transition from1980110/0/0/0 to198/2/2. Pugachev tried its best to complete the transition task in the shortest time. From 65438 to 0982, pugachev undertook an important task. At that time, he was appointed as the main test pilot of the Su -27 aircraft project and flew the T 10- 15 aircraft. With the help of Iliukhin, Isakov and Alcaud Love, pugachev learned a lot in one year. I know what Sukhoi Design Bureau is and am ready to complete any task. There are many excellent talents in Sukhoi Design Bureau. They get together to develop new aircraft. Contact with outstanding people has strengthened pugachev's confidence in himself. After Su -27 aircraft was put into use, pugachev began to test-fly T 10-24 new three-wing aircraft with front wing. Limit State pugachev is a test pilot, in the limit state of flight test, that is, in a dangerous state. Such a test pilot needs not only superb technology, but also an iron will. For example, according to the needs of the mission, two aircraft engines are turned off at an altitude of 20,000 meters, and the test pilot is not allowed to start the engines again; The engine should start automatically at the altitude of11000-12000 m as scheduled, but what if it doesn't start? In this dangerous situation, the general test pilot may panic, but pugachev can calmly "fall off" until the engine starts to work on its own. Recording Flight1986165438+10 One morning in October, a Su -27 (π-42) plane was preparing to take off on the airport runway of the test flight field outside Moscow. The pilot in the cockpit is Victor pugachev. His task today is to break the world record of rising speed held by American pilots. At 10: 45 in the morning, the engine made a huge roar; After a short and fast run, Hawke climbed along an almost vertical trajectory. Pugachev pay attention to control the climbing angle, don't let it continue to increase. Because this is the best climbing angle that has been carefully calculated to break the record. This kind of flight is really not an ordinary flight. In order to accurately maintain the best flight state obtained by computer, pilots must be attentive and skilled, and pugachev has these qualities. When the flight speed exceeds 800 km/h and the film theodolite records the height of 3000 meters, the test flight is over. The previous world record for rising speed was set by Major P Schmidt, a pilot of the US Air Force, who flew an F- 15A fighter on February 1975. It took Schmidt 27.438+0 seconds to climb the plane from the starting point to an altitude of 3000 meters. Pugachev only took 25.4 seconds, more than 2 seconds less than Schmidt. A new world record of rising speed was born! In this flight, pugachev also broke the world record for a jet with a takeoff weight of 12- 16 tons to climb to a height of 3000m, which was set by Canadian pilot Mera in 1983.
