Summary

Machine summary

An unspecified Eastern Theater Command Naval Aviation unit conducted late-night flight training covering command and guidance, reconnaissance and early warning, and over-sea search under instrument-only conditions, with ground command providing real-time guidance and maintenance crews on round-the-clock standby. The article documents a standard combat-realism (实战化) training cycle for naval aviation night operations; its value is as a baseline record of how the Eastern Theater Command frames readiness against the specific degraded-visibility challenges of over-sea night flight. Unit designation, aircraft type, and location are not provided, so no assessment of scale or posture change is possible.
