Taiwan Air Force Commander Hsiung Hou-ki revealed today that the F-16 fighter plane crashed into the sea, the preliminary analysis of mechanical failure is unlikely, do not rule out the possibility that it is in the clouds of the night climbing turn, creating illusions, resulting in the space lost to the sea. Another Taiwan Navy has found this morning found a suspected F crash on the fighter jet sent a beacon signal, is concentrating on strengthening the search force.
Why did the Taiwan military analyze the possibility of a spatial disorientation and fall into the sea? After Jiang Zhengzhi flew the No. 2 plane for night training, he twice spoke over the radio, first saying, “Radar lock on the front plane,” and then responding to the No. 1 pilot’s radio roll call. The second time, in response to the No. 1 pilot’s radio roll call, he replied, “Loud and clear.” But then the No. 3 pilot asked the No. 2 pilot’s altitude twice in a row, but he didn’t answer.
Secondly, according to the radar track, the altitude of Jiang’s plane was 7,000 feet at 6:07 p.m. and its speed was 310 knots; at 6:21 p.m., its altitude was 4,000 feet and its speed was 390 knots; at 6:27 p.m., its altitude was zero feet and its speed was 500 knots. In other words, the aircraft’s altitude dropped steeply from 7,000 feet to zero and its speed increased from 310 knots to 500 knots in 20 seconds.
The aircraft’s systems were normal before takeoff, and no mechanical anomalies were reported on the radio after takeoff, and it climbed smoothly to 7,000 feet after takeoff, making mechanical failure unlikely, Xiong said. Based on weather data, other pilots’ descriptions, and flight recordings, the operating environment was dark, and the aircraft entered clouds during climbing and made turns in the clouds, which does not rule out the possibility of an illusion, resulting in spatial disorientation.
In addition, on October 29, an F-5E fighter plane crashed in Taitung plus LuLan off the coast of Taiwan, the Taiwan military entrusted the civilian exploration and salvage company ambulance company, sent out “Audrey silk” exploration ship in Taitung waters to detect the fuselage, has not found, then the Hualien F-16 fighter plane lost accident, Audrey silk so immediately according to the military requirements and then rushed to Hualien support.
“Audrey” exploration ship, equipped with the latest dynamic positioning system, 2000 meters of sonar and 3000 meters of multi-beam bathymetry, and unmanned instrumentation, has participated in undersea search and rescue and exploration missions, in 2018, successfully in the waters of Lan Yu 1000 meters deep, recovered the wrecked Black Hawk helicopter.
