Biography of Taskaev Roman

During the commissioning program, he and Alexander Vasilievich Fedotov had to eject after the destruction of the combustion chamber at the maximum speed near the Earth. After a couple of months, the rocket launched in flight deviated from the calculated trajectory and hit the stabilizer of the aircraft. Then a joke was born: “The flight manager says to his assistant:“ Taskaev launches the engines.

Give a fire and a nurse in the strip. " Roma flies, how he sings a song. ” And it all started at the age of 15 with glider. In Chita, as in many cities of our vast Motherland, there was its own aero club. In the city in the army, they helped to submit a report on time. I passed the exams and became the listener. It must be taken into account that a military pilot, as a rule, flies on the same type, and sometimes on a personal plane assigned to him.

The school taught to fly all.

The transition from type to type was no longer particularly difficult. I remembered the instruction by the instructor of Alexander Pugachev. And it was amazed at the degree of trust of the instructors: if in the military unit you constantly feel rather tight control, then at the school, having studied the plane, after checking the instructor, you can already fly on your own.

We accustomed us to self -training, self -learning, which is very useful in any profession. I can’t help but recall the teachers, and especially Boris Alexandrovich Lopukhov, the Honored Sturman-Warm, who “Draised us as Sidoroval goats”, but was right. By the way, he is a rather good -natured person and with a sense of humor. Our release, in my opinion, was strong enough. Not everyone was lucky with work-for a test pilot, luck is that he is on the crest of the test work.

Alexander Karetnikov went to businessmen, forced life: it is necessary to feed the family, and not watch how the industry is falling apart. Anatoly Salnik does not work as a tester, having a great desire to fly. The beautiful pilot Sergei Baluev was forced to change the profile of activity. Sergei Tresvyatsky was preparing for the tests of Buran, but the program woven in the bud.

Relatively lucky Evgeny Rudakas - flight tests of the Novosibirsk factory - and, of course, Evgeny Frolov, possibly more than all of us, since the Sukhov company is a leader in creating a new technique. Pyotr Romanenko died - in the test flight, I evaluate the current position of the school as slow extinction, state support is necessary. Not every factory can afford to pay for full-fledged school, moreover, when coagulating production, the need for test pilots is reduced.

In my opinion, now it is necessary to involve firms or provide instructors with testing work by testing pilots in order to not lag behind life. Tests of MiGs - Roman Petrovich, at the company you started quite violently: the incident after the incident. Could you tell me something for fans of thrillers. I think that each test pilot had a lot of incidents. The beginning, perhaps, was somewhat unconventional.

I did not expect that everything would turn out like that. Each test pilot has many cases that you remember with satisfaction if you have won the situation. But it happens that I don’t want to remember, for example, my second catapulting, where I showed excessive self -confidence. During the fall, he took some actions, partially restored the management and decided to sit on the wreckage of the helm of height, although he had already reported on the decision to catapult.

Due to the lack of financing, we do not have the previous possibility of checking the modes, for example, but stands in TsAGI. There is a lot of unknown, which is already being clarified in flight. And this is a clear step back. The pipe parted, and kerosene went into the engine, there was a pumping. If you watch the video, then it is impressive: half a sample in a flame. And then he plucked and sat down.

Such work. Andreev became a curious detail. At one time, joint exercises with the air defense were held. Pugachev and A. Ivanov - on Su finished work, refuel and were going to fly immediately to Moscow. We reached almost to the mainland, when suddenly an order from the ground: "Sit on the New Earth." We do not agree, try to cunning, if only we are behind us. But we hear the harsh: “The order of the first.

Sit on the New Earth. " Okay, we think, the depot is serious, we must sit down. Leonid Stepanovich is satisfied, looked at the northern lights. And to us - continuous inconvenience: a new airfield, a device but overnight, submission of applications, etc. And just recently in a table conversation, we remembered this case, suddenly the air defense commander Vladimir Ivanovich Andreev says: “So I made you sit down.” And yet.

From a series of northern flights. We once returned with Leonid Stepanovich from Anadyr, walked with two refueling. We cross the Penza zone, fuel in a sawn -off shotgun, navigation refusal, and a thunderstorm in front. The ground point of guidance begins to turn us out, gives the command "course". We don’t have enough kerosene to go around the thunderstorm, but you can “jump over” it.

I answer: “I understood” - and I am treating the previous course. The Earth is not behind - the "course".I try to explain myself, but the comrade does not understand and in the end does not stand up: “Why don't you execute my team? What is your course? Further - silence. After a prolonged pause, we hear: "I do not understand." Lenya in response: “What are you asking then?

We immediately lagged behind us, and we calmly flew to the house. They had to raise new planes, set records. I envy B. Orlov, A. Fedotov, A. Fastovtsa, they were on the crest of tests and participated in the formation of reactive aviation. If earlier the test pilot thought about flights, now, for example, about where to get 3 tons of kerosene, how to overcome prohibitions in connection with the debts of the enterprise.

In my opinion, test pilots bring and bring quite great benefits to the country. One could take them more closely. Someone does not have normal housing, and for them the apartment would be a more noticeable reward. And in my opinion, the heroes of our days are people who can stop the humiliation of fellow citizens. In addition, the ruling elite, as a rule, turns people into their own kind or rejects them.

Why don't we get a salary? The government, the leadership cannot find money, but does not want to resign. Therefore, the nose, as Pavel Vlasov likes to say, the heroism of some is the result of the connivance and illiteracy of others. Recorded E.
