At 3:00 a.m. on October 17, at Phu Cat airport (Binh Dinh), 6 K48 pilot students prepared for their graduation flight practice, which included attacking ground targets.
At the equipment area, the technical team urgently inspected all Yak-130 combat training aircraft of Regiment 940, Air Force Officer School, to ensure the quality and quantity of aircraft participating in the mission.
After the successful meteorological reconnaissance flight, the flight mission deployment conference began. Sergeant Dinh Thanh Trung - pilot student of Squadron 1 was ready for the graduation practice flight with the content "Attack on ground targets".
After receiving the aircraft from the technical team and completing the equipment inspection, Trung confidently went to the front cockpit, while Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Tat Thang - Deputy Commander of the Military Training Regiment, was in the back cockpit checking the students.
Mr. Trung confidently controlled the equipment to the waiting area and took off to carry out the mission. When taking off, he reached a stable altitude and entered the working area. He set up the firing circle, maintained the correct data according to the flight data; aimed and dived to attack the target. As a result, the aiming mark coincided with the center of the target; the altitude and firing speed were exactly according to the regulations.
Then, Mr. Trung escaped to an area with an altitude higher than the safe altitude, successfully completed his graduation practice flight and landed.
Right after Mr. Trung, students Trinh Quoc Bao, Phan Xuan An, Nguyen Thanh Ha, Cu Linh Hoat and Nguyen Thanh Tung took turns performing their graduation practical flights.
In addition to the "Ground Target Attack" flight, the students also performed the "Airborne Interception" flight. In this flight, the interceptor aircraft had to take off 3 minutes after the target aircraft, the students controlled the equipment to chase the target, maintained the correct flight data, and maneuvered under the guidance of the navigators.
When entering the target capture area, the guide officer gives the direction and distance of the target aircraft for the trainee to observe and search visually.
