高空飛行，穿越云端，一向被看成是“勇敢者的挑戰(zhàn)”，讓許多人敬而生畏。在福建警隊(duì)中，有一位青年警花，她懷揣警察夢和飛行夢，將青春奉獻(xiàn)給熱愛的警務(wù)航空事業(yè)，成為福建警隊(duì)中唯一的女飛行員。她就是福建青年五四獎?wù)芦@得者、福州市公安局巡特警支隊(duì)警務(wù)航空大隊(duì)三級警長鄭璐。2016年12月入警以來，鄭璐累計(jì)安全飛行300 余小時。

從空姐到飛行員

見到鄭璐時，她身著一襲深綠色飛行服正在執(zhí)勤，英姿颯爽，高挑的身材和掛在臉上的微笑，讓人眼前一亮。

鄭璐出生于福州長樂，2010 年7 月大學(xué)畢業(yè)后，適逢一家航空公司面向社會招聘工作人員，抱著“試一試”的心態(tài)，她成功考入，成了一名空乘。

“做一名空姐，是很多女孩子的夢想，我也不例外。那一年多的經(jīng)歷，是我人生中一個小夢想的實(shí)現(xiàn)?！编嶈幢硎荆谀瞧陂g，她跟著飛機(jī)起飛、降落，逐漸發(fā)現(xiàn)自己更感興趣的其實(shí)是飛行?！拔腋蛲{駛飛機(jī)翱翔天際?！庇谑?，她辭去工作，2013 年考入中國民航飛行學(xué)院，開始了為期一年多的學(xué)飛之路。

然而，從陪伴藍(lán)天到征服藍(lán)天并不是一件輕松的事情。飛行員的訓(xùn)練強(qiáng)度和訓(xùn)練難度是普通人難以想象的，特別是直升機(jī)的飛行控制，需要同時兼顧前進(jìn)、上升和側(cè)轉(zhuǎn)等多個精細(xì)動作。

看似簡單的懸停操作，需要不斷做微小的操作修正，不斷調(diào)整螺旋槳的功率，使機(jī)身保持平衡，這對飛行員的腕力和握力都是個考驗(yàn)。特別是對女性而言，更不容易。無數(shù)次的手腕酸痛，千百回的手指顫抖，最終換來了飛機(jī)的平穩(wěn)懸停。當(dāng)時的訓(xùn)練場景，鄭璐至今仍歷歷在目。

每天堅(jiān)持用2 公斤的小啞鈴卷腕200 次，捏40 公斤握力器300 下，不斷加強(qiáng)手臂與手腕力量。長時間的小關(guān)節(jié)訓(xùn)練，伴隨著的是傷病來襲?？粗滞笊铣Ｄ炅舸娴母嗨帲嶈葱ΨQ：“這是在自己身上‘打補(bǔ)丁，是專屬于自己的勛章。”

從最開始的理論學(xué)習(xí)、上機(jī)操作，到第一次懸停、單飛，再到考試、取得執(zhí)照，鄭璐從不要特殊照顧，更不會降低標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。鄭璐表示，學(xué)習(xí)飛行是一個循序漸進(jìn)的過程，每一個環(huán)節(jié)都馬虎不得。

對一名飛行員來說，第一次單飛意義重大?！翱邕^這一步，就意味著進(jìn)入了一個嶄新的世界?！编嶈椿貞浧?014 年初在校內(nèi)的第一次單飛情景，有一點(diǎn)啼笑皆非。當(dāng)時，為了讓直升機(jī)更為平衡穩(wěn)定，缺乏經(jīng)驗(yàn)的她在副駕駛座位上放了一個大沙袋。

“完成飛行，踏出機(jī)艙的那一刻，同學(xué)們往我身上潑水慶賀，那一刻，我仿佛得到了新生。”鄭璐說，“潑水和理發(fā)，是大家為慶祝單飛而流傳下來的傳統(tǒng)儀式?！?/p>

經(jīng)過不懈努力，鄭璐最終以優(yōu)異的成績完成了所有科目的考核，取得了直升機(jī)商用駕駛員執(zhí)照，正式成為一名女飛行員。

“飛機(jī)就是另一個‘我”

對于有準(zhǔn)備的人而言，一切都恰逢其時。

拿到飛行員執(zhí)照后，鄭璐回到福州。2016 年，她看到福州市公安局巡特警支隊(duì)招飛行員。懷揣警察夢和飛行夢，鄭璐考入巡特警支隊(duì)警務(wù)航空大隊(duì)，成為福建唯一的警航女飛行員。

當(dāng)飛行員，意味著得穿過一道又一道“窄門”。對于鄭璐而言，這無疑是一場前所未有的挑戰(zhàn)?！拔覐男【陀芯榻Y(jié)?！编嶈凑f，“很多人覺得，女子本柔弱。我想撕下這個標(biāo)簽，證明給大眾看，女性也可以剛強(qiáng)有力。”

剛進(jìn)入公安隊(duì)伍時，鄭璐就面臨著嚴(yán)格的體能和警務(wù)技能訓(xùn)練。每天先兩小時練軍姿，早上和下午各負(fù)重10 公斤完成五公里越野。她坦言，自己進(jìn)入狀態(tài)有點(diǎn)慢，起初一個五公里都跑不下來。為了跟上大部隊(duì)，每天收操后，她都用臉盆打水，練習(xí)十組一分鐘憋氣，提升自己的肺活量。周末的健身房中，總能見到她訓(xùn)練的身影。臥推、劃船、深蹲訓(xùn)練的器械上，灑滿了她堅(jiān)持與拼搏的汗水。她笑稱：“當(dāng)時過的是魔鬼般的生活?！?/p>

高強(qiáng)度的訓(xùn)練并沒有嚇退鄭璐，她反而特別感謝那段時光。她說，得益于教官們的嚴(yán)格要求，她才能磨煉出專業(yè)的警務(wù)技能和良好的身體素質(zhì)。

在鄭璐的宿舍里，書桌上擺滿了各種與飛行相關(guān)的書籍。電腦的桌面上保存著直升機(jī)的座艙圖，隨手點(diǎn)開，里面詳細(xì)記錄著飛機(jī)性能原理、各類性能參數(shù)、各種直升機(jī)駕駛手冊、各種特情處置方法等數(shù)據(jù)資料。面對新的警務(wù)機(jī)型，鄭璐一頭扎進(jìn)停機(jī)場，清晨伴著朝陽起飛，傍晚隨著夕陽返航。

翻開鄭璐的工作手冊，里面全是密密麻麻的飛行記錄。每次飛行歸來，她都會第一時間把飛行數(shù)據(jù)整理存檔，制成一張?jiān)O(shè)有航線、風(fēng)向、風(fēng)速等幾十個要素的表格，然后拉上前輩討論?！爸挥袑︼w機(jī)的性能參數(shù)足夠了解，飛行員才有底氣。從某種意義上說，飛機(jī)就是另一個‘我。”鄭璐說。

無論是懸停側(cè)飛、貼地滑行，還是繞點(diǎn)轉(zhuǎn)彎等直升機(jī)飛行科目，她總是一絲不茍、勤學(xué)苦練，以令人贊嘆的成績通過特警隊(duì)各項(xiàng)考核，成為一名“上天能駕機(jī)、下地能擒敵”的警界新星。

“我是一名人民警察，也是一名警航飛行員，我熱愛這份工作，駕駛警航直升機(jī)，帶給我的不僅是快樂，還有滿滿的自豪感。”鄭璐表示。

“天空之眼”守護(hù)平安

在鄭璐的手機(jī)里，一張身著深綠色飛行制服站在直升機(jī)旁的照片格外好看。胸前，圓形的警隊(duì)徽章熠熠生輝。

在藍(lán)色的天空背景下，由旋翼、機(jī)身、翅膀組成的圖案位于徽章中心，喻指“天空之眼”。據(jù)介紹，這個徽章是福州市公安局巡特警支隊(duì)警務(wù)航空大隊(duì)民警自行設(shè)計(jì)的，寓意警用空中力量在城市上方守護(hù)百姓平安。

福州市公安局巡特警支隊(duì)警務(wù)航空大隊(duì)成立于2015 年，主要執(zhí)行治安巡邏、維穩(wěn)處突、反恐防暴、追捕嫌疑人、交通監(jiān)管、搜索營救及大型活動安保等各項(xiàng)任務(wù)。目前，福州公安還打造了空警巡防中心，警航協(xié)同地面警力已經(jīng)形成了全方位、立體化的“地空聯(lián)動”現(xiàn)代警務(wù)機(jī)制，成為福州警方一支不可替代的“尖刀”力量。這其中，鄭璐駕駛警用直升機(jī)默默奉獻(xiàn)著青春力量。

2019 年1 月14 日，犯罪嫌疑人侯某因感情糾紛，持刀劃傷20 名無辜群眾，隨后從浦上大橋跳入烏龍江中。當(dāng)晚，福州市公安局指揮中心指令警航大隊(duì)出動直升機(jī)支援江面搜索。

“當(dāng)時的飛行條件比較惡劣，江兩面多是百十米的高壓線，江面上還有很多橋梁橫跨，這就要求直升機(jī)平穩(wěn)飛行，操縱要及時準(zhǔn)確，整個過程就像繡花一樣精細(xì)。”為了更細(xì)致地執(zhí)行搜索任務(wù)，直升機(jī)飛行中不得不一次次改變高度和速度，鄭璐也會對相應(yīng)操作進(jìn)行調(diào)整?！斑@次搜索任務(wù)，靠的是飛行員的專注力和反應(yīng)力，以及平日的飛行訓(xùn)練積累的野外避障經(jīng)驗(yàn)，這其實(shí)是檢驗(yàn)平時訓(xùn)練成果的一次大考。”

搜索任務(wù)持續(xù)了10 多天，鄭璐每天都在機(jī)場工作十幾個小時，天氣狀況允許的時候，就按照計(jì)劃順著江面開展搜索工作，休息的時候就拿出地圖配合地面辦案人員研究搜索方案。直到2 月6 日，搜捕隊(duì)的任務(wù)才結(jié)束。

在鄭璐看來，在福州城區(qū)的兩三百米高空上飛翔，俯瞰中心市區(qū)，高樓聳立、車水馬龍；來到郊區(qū)、周邊縣市，則是青山綠水，看江望海，美不勝收。但不管是地面苦練，還是空中精飛，所有汗水和付出， 都是為了一方百姓的安寧。

2023 年7 月，一名“驢友”小腿骨折，被困于永泰縣梧桐鄉(xiāng)山間峭壁，需要直升機(jī)懸停在環(huán)境復(fù)雜的山谷上方協(xié)同地面人員施救。

陌生空域情況復(fù)雜、氣象多變，從接到任務(wù)的那一刻起，鄭璐清楚地意識到這將是一次不同尋常的救援任務(wù)。飛行穿越山谷過程中，鄭璐發(fā)現(xiàn)梧桐鄉(xiāng)山間空域視野差，不僅樹木林立，同時山谷里的氣流也十分混亂，只能無奈返航。

回到機(jī)場后，鄭璐同機(jī)組成員立即對實(shí)際地形進(jìn)行二次評估，并重新制訂救援計(jì)劃。在經(jīng)過討論后，決定讓地面救援部隊(duì)先行對周邊樹木進(jìn)行清理，同時緊急搭建一個臨時救援平臺，讓傷者處于視野范圍內(nèi)，更安全地執(zhí)行救援任務(wù)。

“為了飛機(jī)懸停得更平穩(wěn)，操作不能太頻繁，飛機(jī)操縱量也不能大，就是操作駕駛桿、變矩桿和腳蹬這些改變直升機(jī)姿態(tài)的操縱量都不能大，一般控制在一枚硬幣大小的操作范圍。”談及成功施救過程，鄭璐兩眼放光，流露出滿滿成就感和自豪感。

如果說在萬米高空，民航飛機(jī)是客貨運(yùn)輸?shù)闹髁?，那在百米低空，直升機(jī)則是現(xiàn)代城市里的一道空中屏障。為維護(hù)社會安寧穩(wěn)定，近年來，鄭璐還參與了福建省公安特警跨區(qū)域拉動增援暨實(shí)戰(zhàn)演練、閩東北協(xié)同發(fā)展跨區(qū)域飛行等重要任務(wù)，以及數(shù)字中國建設(shè)峰會等各種大型活動演練和空中安保。

翱翔藍(lán)天守護(hù)一方平安，鄭璐的眼神中透露著堅(jiān)毅，步伐中昂揚(yáng)著鏗鏘。

A Guardian Angel

By Chen Yuhang

Soaring through the sky is a daunting challenge， reserved only for the bravest souls. Yet， Zheng Lu， the only female pilot in the Fujian police force， has embraced the dual dreams of law enforcement and aviation. Zheng Lu is a third-level police captain at the Police Aviation Squadron of the Patrol and Special Police Detachment under the Fuzhou Public Security Bureau， and she has logged over 300 flight hours since joining the force in December 2016. She has been rewarded for her efforts with the Fujian Elite Youth May Fourth Medal.

From Flight Attendant to Pilot

When on duty， Zheng Lu looks striking dressed in her dark green uniform while wearing a smile. My first impression： a tall， gallant officer.

Born in Changle， Fuzhou， she secured a position as an airline attendant after graduating from college in July 2010.

"Like many girls I dreamed of becoming an airline attendant in my girlhood，" said Zheng. "The year I spent as an attendant was a dream come true." However， after numerous takeoffs and landings， she realized her true passion was to be a pilot. "I aspired that one day I could fly the airplane myself，" she said. She resolved to leave her job with the airline company and enrolled in the Civil Aviation Flight University of China in 2013， embarking on her journey to become a pilot.

Transitioning from admiring the blue sky to conquering it is far from easy. The intense and rigorous challenges of pilot training are beyond the imagination of many people. The most demanding part was controlling the flight of the helicopter， which involves many simultaneous nuanced maneuvers.

The seemingly simple task of hovering， for instance， entails numerous precise adjustments， including modulating propeller power and maintaining a balanced fuselage position. It's a formidable test of wrist strength and grip. Zheng Lu vividly recalls sore wrists and trembling fingers during her countless training hours， all in pursuit of achieving steady aircraft hovering.

At that time， Zheng maintained a daily workout routine lifting 2-kilogram dumbbells 200 times and squeezing a 40-kilogram forearm muscle developer 300 times to strengthen her wrists and grip. She often suffered sprains and soreness. Observing the persistent medical patches on her arm， she joked， "These 'patches'? are nothing but medals， exclusive to me."

The entire process – from theoretical study to on-board operations， from the initial attempts at hovering and independent piloting to obtaining her license through examination， Zheng never sought special treatment， nor did she settle for any sub-standard performance. She understood that learning to fly involves meticulous training step-by-step.

A pilot's first solo flight is extremely significant. "Beyond that hurdle is a whole new world，" Zheng recalled her dramatic first attempt in early 2014. To ensure the helicopter's balance， she placed a large sandbag on the co-pilot's seat beside her.

"The moment I stepped out of the cockpit， my classmates doused me with water， one of the two traditions to celebrate the birth of a new pilot，" she recounted emotionally. "The other tradition is getting a haircut."

Her relentless effort paid off. Zheng excelled in all her exams and secured a license for commercial helicopter piloting. She is now a proud female pilot.

"The Aircraft is an Extension of Myself."

Luck favors the prepared.

When Zhen obtained her license and returned to Fuzhou in 2016， she discovered that the Patrol and Special Police Detachment of the Fuzhou Public Security Bureau was recruiting pilots. Fueled by her passion for both law enforcement and flying， she pursued the opportunity and got the job， becoming the sole female pilot in the Fujian police aviation force.

Her job as a pilot involves unprecedented challenges. "A passion for police uniform lurked in my heart when I was a little girl，" Zheng explained. "Many people stereotype women， seeing us as vulnerable. I aim to tear down that label and demonstrate to the public that women can be strong and resilient too."

The first challenge Zheng faced in the public security force was the rigorous physical exercise and training in policing skills. Each day began with two hours of posture training， followed by two 5-kilometer cross-country runs carrying a 10-kilogram load—one in the morning and the other in the afternoon. Zheng admitted that she initially struggled to complete even one of the runs. But she was determined not to hold her team back， and managed to complete the routine training. Then she undertook ten rounds of vital capacity training， submerging her head in water and holding her breath for one minute each time. On weekends， Zheng was often found in the gym， tirelessly doing push-ups or using rowing and squatting machine. During those excruciating days， each exercise machine bore witness to her dedication and perseverance. "The training was as harsh as the life in the hell，"she joked.

Zheng Lu was not at all deterred by the demanding physical training; instead， she was grateful for it. She acknowledged that without the strict drillmasters， she wouldn't have been able to refine her policing skills and improve her physical fitness.

While flight-related books adorn the desk in her dormitory， a photo of a helicopter cockpit fills the desktop of her computer. Opening up her computer files reveals a mass of data， including aircraft performances and principles， various parameters， operation manuals for different helicopters， and troubleshooting guides for emergencies. To quickly acclimate herself to the new model of policing helicopter， Zheng actively engaged in daily practical operations， taking off early at sunrise and not returning until sunset.

Zheng has meticulously documented all her flights in her work manual. Upon landing， the first task she undertakes is sorting out relevant data and organizing it into files. She always formulates a table outlining flight routes， wind directions， speeds， and numerous other parameters before analyzing the data alongside veteran pilots. "A pilot's confidence lies in their comprehensive understanding of all the parameters. To a certain extent， the aircraft is an extension of myself，" explained Zheng.

Thanks to her diligence in the training sessions， including those on hovering， lateral shifting， taxiing， swerving， and other helicopter flight subjects， Zheng distinguished herself in all exams with remarkable performance. She emerged as a role model in the police force， guarding peace by piloting aircraft in the sky.

"I'm both a police officer and a pilot， and I love my job. Flying policing helicopters brings me not just joy， but also immense pride，" Zheng Lu said.

Security Watch in the Sky

On Zheng Lu's cell phone is a handsome photo of herself dressed in a dark green flight uniform， standing beside a helicopter. The round police badge on her chest shines brightly.

The badge prominently displays a pattern consisting of a rotor， fuselage， and wings against the backdrop of the blue sky， symbolizing the concept of an "Eye in the Sky". The badge was designed by the police officers at the Police Aviation Squadron of the Patrol and Special Police Detachment of the Fuzhou Public Security Bureau. It symbolizes safeguarding the security of the local community through the utilization of air force resources.

The Police Aviation Squadron was established in 2015 and given a wide range of responsibilities including regular patrols， anti-terrorism operations， criminal tracking， traffic control， search and rescue missions， and security maintenance during large-scale events. Additionally， the Fuzhou Public Security Bureau has set up an air policing center which， in coordination with ground forces， has created a multidimensional and comprehensive policing mechanism. This air policing unit has become an irreplaceable asset within the local police force， and Zheng Lu， as one of its representatives， is committing herself to local security.

On January 14， 2019， a suspect surnamed Hou， driven by romantic entanglements， assaulted and injured 20 innocent people before throwing himself off the Pushang Bridge into the Wulong River. In response， the command center of the Fuzhou Public Security Bureau immediately instructed the Aviation Squadron to commence a search of the river surface.

"The flight conditions were dangerous with high voltage power lines stretching nearly 100 meters along both sides of the river， and numerous bridges spanning the river surface. Such circumstances required precise maneuvers to maintain a balanced and steady flight，" explained Zheng Lu. "The mission entails attentiveness， responsiveness， and the experience gained through countless hours of flight training. In one word this was going to be a test."

The fortnight-long search found Zheng working a dozen of hours each day. When weather conditions allowed， she thoroughly combed the river surface as planned; otherwise， she collaborated with the ground forces to define alternative search plans. The mission was not completed until February.

Over the city， Zheng Lu looks down at the towering buildings and bustling streets of Fuzhou. Over the suburbs， she enjoys the view of lush， verdant landscapes enlivened by majestic mountains and tranquil waters. Wherever she flies， Zheng Lu has the same goal in mind： peace for the people.

In July 2023， a tourist sustained a calf injury and got stranded on a steep mountainside. The rescue operation required the helicopter to hover steadily above the mountainous valley while? the ground forces mounted a rescue.

Given the unfamiliar， complex terrain and the unpredictable weather conditions， Zheng was aware of the challenges she would encounter the moment she received the mission. As she navigated through the valley， she observed that the mountains surrounding Wutong Village were not only shrouded in dense forests， greatly reducing visibility， but also subject to capricious airflows. She had no choice but to make a return flight.

Back to the airport， Zheng and her colleagues conducted another round of terrain assessment. They revised the rescue plan， instructing the ground forces to clear trees and build an improvised rescue platform. This would ensure the stranded tourist to be in sight.

"I couldn't make any major adjustments too often; otherwise， the helicopter wouldn't be able to hover steadily in the air. In other words， I could only make the slightest movements of the joystick， pedals， and other controls to maneuver the aircraft，" Zheng recounted with a hint of pride in her voice and a sparkle in her eyes.

Just as civil aircraft flying tens of thousands of meters up in the sky play an indispensable role in passenger transport， helicopters gliding hundreds of meters above ground constitute a crucial aerial defense force for modern cities. In recent years， Zheng Lu has participated in numerous major security missions， including military drills conducted by various precincts of special police forces within the Fujian Public Security Bureau， cross-region flight operations coordinated by the northeastern Fujian province， and aerial security duties for prestigious events like the Digital China Development Summit.

While piloting the aircraft through the boundless blue sky to ensure local security， Zheng Lu always exhibits unwavering commitment and determination.
