At Beitong Airport, the plane landed smoothly.

Zhou's father and Zhou's mother, who had already received the news, were already waiting in the waiting hall, and as soon as the plane landed, they came to the airport in advance through a special channel.

"Son, why did you suddenly remember to buy a plane?"

This is Zhou's father's problem.

"How much does it cost to have such a big plane? Is it expensive? Don't spend money indiscriminately. ”

This is Zhou's mother's problem.

"You, what is this called, our son flies in the sky every day, has his own plane, saves time and effort, and can rest more, how can it be called spending money indiscriminately?"

"What did I say? I'll ask the price, and I didn't talk to you because you're in a hurry. ”

The old couple began to talk again, but Zhou Fangyuan got used to it. My parents' generation is not romantic if they don't pay attention to design, and they often quarrel because of some small things in their daily life. But don't think that they are really quarrelling, it's not that serious, they are just habitually bickering, bickering, arguing, and the relationship is deepening and getting better and better in the process.

Is everyone like this? That's not necessarily, anyway, Zhou Fangyuan's family is like this, it's better for others not to imitate, don't go to the end, the relationship is not good, but it falls apart because of a quarrel.

Zhou Fangyuan looked at his parents arguing, and he didn't have the qualifications to act, but focused his attention on the cabin of the plane not far away. Over there, a small tractor is pulling the helicopter out little by little.

This airport is Beitong Airport, and Beitong City has an airport. But what about the airport in Kitaki City, you can say that there is one, or you can say that there is none. Gain's airport used to be a military airport, and later returned to the locality, but because the airport is too small and narrow, of course it is no problem to dock fighter jets, but civil airliners are generally larger, and the take-off speed is also slow, so this airport has always been able to open routes to a few big cities. And if nothing else, the hangar is not enough in the first place.

Fortunately, now the new airport is already under construction, in the northwest of Beitong City, after the completion of the new airport, the old airport will be suspended, and then that side is the real important traffic center of Beitong City, this place, in the future, will become a large park. However, for the time being, it is still the only and most important airport in Beitong.

"And helicopters?"

The two noisy people noticed the situation here.

"Why did you buy a helicopter?"

Dad Zhou's eyes were shining, and as he spoke, he swam over, startling the staff in charge of towing the helicopter.

Zhou Fangyuan was also startled, but then he remembered that his father did seem to like helicopters and tanks very much, but he didn't have much feeling for fixed-wing. Because Zhou Fangyuan's family, since he was very young, there have always been two decks of poker. Two very special decks of poker, the center of the front of the card, not representing the pattern of hearts and spades, but a color map.

These two decks of cards, one for helicopters and one for tanks, 54 cards each, are rarely repeated.

As for this special playing card, you can buy it in the local bookstore, and when selling souvenirs, there is a military hodgepodge, that is, all kinds of weapons and equipment, which are not specially classified and all mixed together, and there are also two pairs like his family, a separate category.

There are more than a dozen types of books in the city, and Zhou's father only bought two pairs, is it because he has no money? Zhou Fangyuan had completely forgotten about this before, but now that he thinks about it, he can't help but scold himself twice. Why didn't you think about such an important thing before?

"I didn't buy it specifically, this plane was given when I bought a big plane, Dad, if you like it, I'll buy you a heavy helicopter another day......"

Zhou Fangyuan said as he looked at his father with verifying eyes.

It's a pity he didn't see anything.

Dad Zhou smiled vigorously, "This is good, this is good." ”

At the very least, it can be proved that Dad Zhou really likes helicopters.

"Smash, can this plane fly?"

"Nonsense, what are you doing if you can't fly and pull it back, how do you want to drop, do you want to go to heaven?

Mom walked up, put her little hand on Dad's waist and leaned over.

"Oh, wife, don't, don't do it, I'm just asking, asking. ”

"Hmph, do you think I can trust you? I've been with you for half my life, and you're about to let out some fart when you flick your tail, do you think I don't know?"

"No, wife, this, I don't mean anything else, isn't it, I can't drive, I definitely don't dare to drive it myself, I just ask if this plane can fly, if it can fly, how good it would be to send us back directly, right? ”

"Hmph, do you want to have something else? I'll lend you the guts!"

Mom directly suppressed my father.

However, Dad's thoughts did remind Zhou Fangyuan.

He called the Airbus employee who was responsible for transporting the plane again and asked a few questions.

The other party was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then showed an embarrassed expression.

"Well, flying is definitely flying, but generally speaking, we have to re-check the money for flying on airplanes. So, we'll need some time. ”

Said the staff.

Hearing that it would only take some time, Zhou Fangyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

What he doesn't know is that many people are like this, just like a child, who can't help but want to play with new toys when they see them. Real Russian children play with building blocks, and adults play with such big toys. So generally speaking, before the aircraft leaves the factory, the final maintenance and inspection work will be carried out to ensure the condition of the aircraft itself. After meeting the customer and making sure that there is no problem, the first task is to conduct the first test flight to prove that the aircraft is okay. In the case of fixed-wing aircraft, it flies directly in front of the user, needless to say. Helicopters are small planes, because they are specially transported, so they must be tested in a single field. Zhou Fangyuan and they are more special, mainly because they are too anxious and give each other too little time.

It stands to reason that the inspection of the plane is such a complicated work, why does it take half a day, no matter how bad it is, it is always necessary for half a day, how can there be a plane that has just arrived with its front feet, and the plane has not yet reached the ground, and it is in a hurry to take off? But then again, the customer is God, and the customer needs serious service. Didn't you see that the company's headquarters would not hesitate to envelop this customer at the cost of a helicopter? These ordinary little employees, even if they eat the gall of a bear's heart and a leopard, will only vomit, where can they have the courage to refuse each other?

Because it was a new plane, and because it was the first test flight, the inspection work was simple but also simple, and according to the estimates of the pretending personnel, three hours was enough.

It is enough for them to determine whether the plane can take off, and if it does, it must eliminate all possible risks. It just so happens that in these three hours, Zhou Fangyuan can also be asked to apply for a helicopter take-off permit.

All aircraft take-off and landing should be applied to the local air traffic control department, and Zhou Fangyuan is no exception. Not only the local Kan Palace, but also the local garrison should also apply, otherwise people will think that you are entering the country illegally, and they will directly bombard you with a shot, and you deserve it. This kind of thing, if it is put on ordinary people, it must be very difficult to do, at the very least, it takes a certain amount of time just to apply.

But Zhou Fangyuan is different, or rather, the Yuanfang Group is different.

In this place of Beitong, the importance of the Yuanfang Group exceeds that of ordinary enterprises, and the local government hopes that the Yuanfang Group can have more requirements, save more favors, and get some help from the Yuanfang Group when needed. Therefore, Zhou Fangyuan personally called to apply for airspace, which was naturally quite convenient, and in less than half an hour before and after, the airspace had already been applied, and the sky from the airport to the farm, as long as it was not flying at high altitude, the helicopter could be unimpeded.

The wireless communication on the helicopter's side has also been connected, the radar signal has been successfully docked, and the random engineer is conducting a final check to make sure that the plane can fly.

The helicopter finally slowly rose off the ground with a buzz-buzzing propeller rotation.

Dad Zhou sat in the plane, looking at the scene outside the window, and everyone trembled slightly with excitement.

Zhou Fangyuan saw it in his eyes, and sighed silently in his heart, this is really like helicopters. If he had known, or had thought that his father liked it so much, he might have bought a helicopter a long time ago, so why wait until now?

But it's not too late, if Dad really likes it, let him get a driver's license when he has time, a helicopter driver's license. With the certificate, I can also play with it, which just meets the needs of the boss, and is not a happy person??

Only the pilot-level who was left was also a talker, and while finding the set route and family background plane, he chatted with Zhou's father.

He really deserves to be the pilot of the helicopter, and he does know about the helicopter, along the way, there are a lot of words, and along the way, he will go to the house and their family of three to introduce the various iaoshishi of the helicopter flying.

For example, the world's first helicopter was the VS300 developed by Sikorsky, which truly has the flight characteristics of a modern helicopter. The use of a single-rotor with tail rotor structure laid the most common aerodynamic layout for modern helicopters. Another example is the world's smallest helicopter is a single-person ultra-small helicopter developed by Fuso. The helicopter is equipped with a 37 kW forced-cold engine, the main rotor is about 6 meters in diameter, and its dead weight is only 115 kg.

The largest helicopter in the world is the Mi-12 "Pigeon" heavy transport helicopter developed and produced by the USSR in the 60s of the 20th century. The aircraft has a maximum take-off weight of 105 tons, a diameter of 35 meters in the main rotors, a fuselage of 37 meters long, a cargo hold of 28 meters long, can transport medium tanks and artillery, is equipped with four engines of 4.78 MW, and has a load of 40 tons. The fastest cruising helicopter used in countries around the world, the X2 helicopter, reached a top speed of 463 km/h.

The highest-flying helicopter was the French SA-3158 "American" helicopter. On June 21, 1972, pilot Jean Bowette flew the "American Ostrich" and set a world record of flying 12,442 meters.

The helicopter that flew the farthest was the OH-6 helicopter from the United States. On April 6~7, 1966, the aircraft was piloted by pilot Ferry, setting a world record of 3561.55 kilometers in a straight line.

The earliest helicopter landing operation was carried out by the U.S. military in March 1951 in the Korean battlefield at Wangbangsan Mountain. In this battle, the US military used helicopters to land more than 20 planes on the position, and cooperated with the ground troops to seize the opponent's position. This is also the earliest record of helicopters participating in actual combat.

The world's first helicopter gunship was converted from an H-13 helicopter. In 1953, the United States installed uncontrolled rockets, grenade launchers, machine guns and anti-tank guns on the H-13 helicopter for testing, thereby improving the combat performance of the helicopter and creating conditions for the development of armed helicopters in the future. The world's first stealth helicopter is the RAH-66 "Comanche" armed helicopter developed and produced by the United States. The aircraft is the future main aircraft of the US Army, which can perform a variety of combat and support missions such as armed reconnaissance, anti-tank and air combat.

The first helicopter to use a catapult life-saving system was the Ka-50 "Gimmick" helicopter developed and produced in the Soviet Union. At the same time, the aircraft also won the first single-seat attack helicopter and the first coaxial attack helicopter.

And so on and so forth.

Too much, too much.

He can speak, Zhou's father can also listen, Zhou Fangyuan and his mother sat in the back, and the two looked at each other speechlessly.

……

The plane quickly arrived at the place and landed slowly. 、

Zhou Fangyuan asked people to arrange a room for the pilot, then took a shower and came to his parents' room.

In the room, my father was still talking to my mother excitedly, but my mother looked like she had nothing to love, and she didn't bother to stop at all.

"Kirk, Daddy,"

Zhou Fangyuan glanced twice and cleared his throat.

"Son, come on, I'm talking to your mother, it's a helicopter plane, it's really enjoyable, it's really cool. ”

Dad's attention to Ang Ji can't stop. Zhou Fangyuan smiled and didn't say anything.

Instead, when Dad stopped halfway, he took the initiative to speak.

"Dad, why don't you take the exam yourself?"

He had already inquired just now, and the helicopter driver's license was actually not difficult to get.

At the national level, there are the following requirements for civilian helicopter pilots.

Be at least 17 years old, have no criminal record within 5 years, be able to speak, read, and write Chinese characters correctly, and have no accent or stuttering that affects two-way radio communication. If the requirements cannot be met for some reason, the bureau shall endorse the necessary operational restrictions on its license.

Have a junior high school education level or above, hold a current valid Class I or II medical certificate issued by the Bureau, have completed the aviation knowledge training of the corresponding aircraft level, and be signed by the authorized instructor who provides teaching on the flight experience book, and recommend to take the theory test.

Pass the theory test, complete the flight skills training of the corresponding aircraft class, and have the authorized instructor providing the training sign the flight experience book, recommend to take the practical test, meet the flight experience requirements of CCAR-61 applicable to the applied aircraft class before applying for the practical test, pass the flight skills practice test, and meet the corresponding terms and requirements of CCAR-61 for the category and class of the applied aircraft.

Then, the driver's license can be obtained, it's very simple, in fact, it's really not complicated, Dad Zhou is fully capable of taking a driver's license.
