Chapter 477: Pilot's Driver's License Physical Examination

Zheng Xudong's little joke "I can't swallow it!" made the guide nurse Jenny bend down with laughter, and then simply squatted on the ground.

The nurse who drew the blood also squirted out with laughter, and the saliva was not "bad" at all, and all of it sprayed on Zheng Xudong's face, "Miss nurse, I came this morning after washing my face." ”

The nurse who originally drew blood was a little embarrassed to see her saliva splashed on someone's face, but she couldn't wipe it with both hands, she was embarrassed, and laughed again when she heard Zheng Xudong's words, "You are so interesting!" But she didn't stop laughing, she actually rolled the needle, and the nurse who drew blood quickly stood up and restrained her smile, and kept saying "I'm sorry!"

Zheng Xudong smiled and said, "It's okay, don't be nervous, just get another needle." ”

Three samples of blood, urine, and feces were left for the laboratory center. Zheng Xudong entered the next physical examination project - vision examination center under the leadership of the guide Jenny.

In addition to checking whether the visual acuity meets the mandatory requirement of 1.0, the vision test should also check whether the pilot's eyes have invisible strabismus, pigmentation, corneal or lens opacity, etc.

Zheng Xudong didn't understand why he had to check these items, and the doctor who examined him patiently explained to him that if the pilot had invisible squint, when landing at night, he might have a deviation in looking at the light indicator points on the ground indicating the runway, and if there were black spots in his eyes, he might misjudge whether the black spots in the distance were enemies in air combat.

Zheng Xudong nodded after hearing this, "But I just want to get a pilot's license, as long as I can fly my own plane, do I need to be so troublesome?"

"We don't know about this, and the above asked us to conduct a physical examination according to this standard, and we can only check it like this. Said the doctor who did the vision test.

The doctor said that during the flight, the ascent or descent of the flight causes a sharp change in the air pressure in the cockpit and the sinus cavity, causing the sinus opening to be blocked, which is easy to cause severe headache. This symptom is called aviation sinusitis. If you have this disease, you will definitely not be able to fly the plane, and the disease of the ear is usually tinnitus, and if there is tinnitus symptoms, it will also be passed.

After the examination of hearing and otolaryngology, it is an olfactory examination, and then it is surgery, and the examination surgery has to take off all the clothes on the body, which makes Zheng Xudong feel more embarrassed, the doctors and nurses next to him are basically women, and the doctor also told him that "there is no gender difference in the eyes of the doctor." But Zheng Xudong still felt very awkward, but he still had to take it off.

After stripping naked, all the girls in the room blushed, "It's a great figure, especially that thing under the crotch!" several daring nurses whispered in private.

The doctor comes forward to check whether the limbs are flexible, and a complete visual inspection is sufficient. It is important that there is no armpit odor, because the doctor deliberately sniffed under his armpit for a long time. As for why Zheng Xudong didn't ask. Whether there is a scar on the body, the focus is also to check whether there is a scar in the hair, and check whether there is nail fungus and so on. It also includes a dermatological test, in which the doctor uses a plastic rod to draw a "tic-tac-toe" pattern on your chest and back to see if your skin will swell, this scratch test is mainly to check whether the pilot has red and swollen skin caused by vascular allergies, which is actually artificial urticaria. Normally, there will be red marks on the skin of the body but it will disappear quickly, while the skin of people with allergies will swell. Zheng Xudong didn't understand why he had to check this? The doctor also gave an answer, because when the pilot flies, when the plane generates a load, the anti-load suit will be actively pressurized and clinging to the body, if there is artificial urticaria, under these pressures, the body will have edema, itching and other uncomfortable symptoms, which will seriously affect flight safety.

The internal medicine examination is more comprehensive, electrocardiogram, B ultrasound, X-ray examination, electroencephalogram, neurology examination, Zheng Xudong has professional instruments for each internal organ to check, to see the size of the internal organs, whether there is a shadow, if there is a shadow, further confirm what the shadow is. With the examination report and hand diagnosis, the hand diagnosis is to directly touch the hand, press the chest, abdomen, if you have any pain, the doctor will see it.

There is also a psychological test, through a series of tests to see if you have mental illness, for your emotions, mainly anger control. Mentally ill people are usually afraid of getting angry, and if you get sick here because you're angry, SORRY PASS!

The pilot also has to do an anti-motion sickness experiment, referred to as the swivel chair experiment, during the test, Zheng Xudong sat on the electric swivel chair, his head was fixed with a bandage on the back of the head, the chair began to rotate at a uniform speed, to rotate about 50-60 times in 90 seconds, while rotating, Zheng Xudong also had to follow the rhythm of the electric swivel chair to swing his head left and right. After the transfer, the doctor asked Zheng Xudong to stay in the testing room for 30 minutes, and the doctor would observe whether he had symptoms such as sweating profusely and vomiting. It also depends on whether he can walk out of a straight line after standing up. The doctor explained that some pilots with poor vestibular function will sweat profusely and vomit after turning. It's okay to sweat a little, but if you vomit or sweat profusely, or if you are pale, it will be wiped off.

The inspection lasted all morning and didn't end until half past twelve, when Fendi Higgins asked Zheng Xudong to get dressed first and then took him to the dining chair on the third floor for dinner.

The restaurant is self-service, specially for the pilot to provide food, so the standard is relatively high, meat, eggs, milk, fruit, chocolate these are the standard, the pilot's physical consumption after the sky is greater than ordinary people imagine, basically every time is the same as running a full marathon, this is not a training or cruising state, if it is actual combat, the physical consumption is greater. So these high-calorie foods have to be eaten, and it's a task. Zheng Xudong heard the examiner Fendi Higgins say, then come on, eat, who is afraid of whom! Especially since he is still a carnivore. His appetite shocked the master who fed him. This was probably the most edible pilot he'd ever seen!

Fendi Higgins looked at Zheng Xudong's physical examination report in his hand while eating, "There is no skin disease... No gallbladder, kidney stones... No STDs, AIDS... There is no infectious hepatitis such as hepatitis A and hepatitis B... There is no diabetes, high blood pressure, and blood lipids are normal... There are no tumors in the stomach and intestines... Heart, lung function, well, excellent! These doctors, flexible minds, no mental illness... Mental health check, um? slight violent tendencies, within a controllable range... The last piece of medical advice is... Ha.... Fendi Higgins laughed at the last item.

"Examiner Higgins, what's wrong?" Zheng Xudong was a little hairy by her laughter, thinking that he didn't kowtow to ninety-nine heads, and the last one was unqualified, it was too sad!

"See for yourself, the last item. Fendy Higgins handed him the medical report and let him read it for himself.

After Zheng Xudong took the report, he looked at the last doctor's suggestion, "WHAT THE FUCK! EXAMINER HIGGINS, THESE DOCTORS CAN'T BE TARGETING ME, RIGHT?!" Zheng Xudong's nose was about to be crooked after reading it, and it actually read the words "The thighs are too long, but they don't have much impact." ”

"No, no. Fendi Higgins suppressed his laughter, "The doctor didn't target you. Pilots have height requirements. We require a height of no more than 1.85 meters, preferably 1.80 meters, and preferably a ratio of 1:1 between the upper body and the lower body, you are already super tall, and the thigh length is significantly longer than the upper body. So the doctor just made a recommendation. ”

"There's still this kind of statement, I really don't know this!" Zheng Xudong really doesn't know.

"Yes, the flight cockpit, whether it is a civil aircraft, or a military warplane, the cockpit does not have a lot of space, especially the leg position, the space is smaller, so if you fly an airplane, the legs will not be very comfortable. But fortunately, it's your own plane, it doesn't matter, you can just put up with it yourself. Fendi Higgins said with a smile.

After eating at noon, Zheng Xudong thought that he was going to take a computer-based test, but the examiner took him to a classroom on the second floor.

"Mr. Anton, through your three examination papers, we found that you have now mastered a wealth of practical piloting skills, but your knowledge of flight theory is still relatively weak. So in the next two days, I will train you in the basics through explanations. ”

"Do I need this? I think my basic knowledge of flying is okay. ”

"Hehe! You will know that you are far behind, and if you talk nonsense, I will invalidate your exam qualification as an examiner. ”

Zheng Xudong quickly closed his mouth when he heard this. Women are too ruthless!

Don't look at Fendi Higgins, who is usually very strict, but he is still very lively in class. Through the class, Zheng Xudong knew that he was going to learn a Private Pilot License (PPL). In addition to the Private Pilot License, there are three types of Pilot's License: Airline Transport Driver's License (ATPL), Commercial Aircraft Driver's License (CPL), and Sport Pilot License (SPL).

In order to obtain a private pilot's license, according to the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration), in order to obtain a PPL, you need to have at least 60 hours of theoretical study, including: aviation theory (aerodynamics, navigation, modification principles, etc.), the physiological and psychological effects of aviation meteorology on people, land and air dialogue, and aviation English.

After the theory, there is the actual machine training, at least 40 hours of flight training, of which 20 hours are led by the instructor, 10 hours are independent flight, 10 hours of independent flight including 3 hours of transition, 3 hours of night, 3 hours of instrumentation, etc. The helicopter course is basically the same as this one.

Finally, the examiner Fendi Higgins said: "A good pilot is honed through flight time, how to evaluate the quality of a pilot is the standard of his flight hours, usually the captain of a large commercial route aircraft requires at least 2000 hours of flight hours, so Mr. Anton, if you want to be a captain, you are still early!"

Zheng Xudong thought to himself: "Don't you know how many hours I have been flying the plane in the blue sky independently at night?"

"Tonight we will start with night training, helicopters, fixed-wing aircraft, you have to be mentally prepared. ”

"Examiner Higgins, I'm taking leave tonight, I have something to do, or in the middle of the night, or tomorrow night, I'm all yours, but not tonight, not in the middle of the night. Zheng Xudong knew that there was a gambling game between Japan and Russia to participate in tonight, it was a billion-dollar deal, and the money had to be won back, and the cost of private jets was too high!
