Did the pilot land safely after the plane crash? Did J 15 shoot birds?

On August 16, it was reported that Wei Yuan, deputy head of a naval carrier aviation regiment, hit a bird during a flight training and the left engine caught fire. With the help of the command of the tower and wingman, he calmly responded, saved the fighter plane within 10 minutes and 57 seconds, and created the miracle of aviation special handling such as the fighter plane hitting a bird and catching fire, landing beyond the load limit, and forced landing at low altitude.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, Wei Yuan and his comrades took off on J- 15 for training. Less than a minute after take-off, Wei Yuan's fighter plane suddenly met a flock of birds.

After the collision, the engine on the left side of the plane suddenly caught fire. Under the decisive command of tower commander Lu Yan, and accompanied by the reminder of wingman Ai Qun, he calmly responded.

The tower is ready. If the plane is in danger, the first choice is to ask the pilot to leave the plane. After Wei Yuan reported that the plane was controllable, he strengthened his determination to command the plane to land. According to the standard special handling plan, the plane will be close to the residential area, while staying away from the residential area is not conducive to approaching the runway.

The left engine was damaged, the hydraulic power was cut off, and the landing gear could not be lowered for the first time. Wei Yuan stopped again and accelerated under the command of the tower. 10: 57, Wei Yuan received more than 50 instructions and completed the operation for hundreds of times, successfully saving the fighter plane, creating a miracle of aviation special handling when the fighter plane hit a bird and caught fire, landed beyond the load limit, and landed at low altitude with a single shot.

For the wit and courage of China Air Force pilots!
