Chapter 6 First Meeting with the Instructor

Thinking of this, my mood suddenly improved a little. At this time, the headmaster beckoned everyone to the common room to have a cup of coffee together.

Xu Wei and Meng Yang hooked their shoulders, their emotions were quite excited, men always had the heart of Top Gun, and when they saw all kinds of planes, the two of them suddenly had a reverie flying all over the sky, fantasizing about how handsome they would be in uniform in the future, and they would break away from ** silk and enter the ranks of male gods.

Xu Wei and Meng Yang smell like each other, look at each other and smile obscenely, the picture is too beautiful. Suddenly, Xu Wei seemed to see someone standing in front of him, and he was stunned, and found that a small fat man in front of him was waiting, as if he was waiting for them.

“youarehugoright?” Xu Wei was stunned, hugo is his English name, and quickly looked at the person, who looked close to thirty, half a head shorter than Xu Wei, Xu Wei was just in his early 170s, and suddenly he seemed a little too short, but this person's horizontal development is much more developed than vertical development, as if a normal person is flattened, and his body shape is really not flattering.

However, this person wore an instructor's uniform, Xu Wei was still quite polite, laughed with him, and said like a chicken pecking rice: "yes, yes." ”

As soon as the instructor saw that he had found the right person, he stepped forward to introduce himself.

“mynameisjeremypope,yourinstructor.” The words used in this self-introduction are quite simple and clear, and the speed of speech is not fast, and it is estimated that it is specially designed to take into account the English ability of Chinese students.

Listening to the instructor's excessively slow speaking speed, Xu Wei secretly scolded himself: "I don't know English well, but I can still understand it so simply!" Look down on people. Naturally, what is thinking in your heart is not necessarily what you have to say, Xu Wei's face is still filled with a stiff smile.

The two exchanged a "nicetomeetyou." The instructor who got along with Xu Wei for a year finally met for the first time.

The instructor suddenly smiled mysteriously, pointed to the plane not far away and said, "WecanflyNowifYouwant."

Meng Yang reacted first, and said, "I'll go!" Blurted out. Xu Wei was stunned and nodded meaningfully. Seeing Xu Wei agree, the instructor shouted directly to the headmaster in the distance behind him: "Eric, igoflywithhugonow."

The principal is a tall and thin middle-aged man named Eric, who is said to have retired from the airline pilot, and his body size is completely the same as Xu Wei's instructor.

The principal shouted back, "use9988,onlythisoneisfulloffuelremmemberonehournomore." The principal meant to fly the plane with the serial number 9988, only this plane was full of fuel, and let Xu Wei and them not fly for more than an hour.

Xu Wei's instructor made an OK gesture to the principal, beckoned Xu Wei to follow him, and walked towards the archive room by himself.

Xu Wei was about to follow, but was grabbed by Meng Yang, Meng Yang took out his mobile phone and stuffed it into Xu Wei's hand. Xu Wei didn't know why, what kind of trouble Meng Yang was making this time.

"What are you kid doing, send me? But I don't collect scrap. Xu Wei came out very hurtfully.

Meng Yang was full of black lines, but he still didn't get the phone back, and said, "Remember to help me take a photo when I go up, which one will be for you." Xu Wei took the phone, then stuffed it back into Meng Yang's hand, gave a roll of his eyes, and said, "I'll take a picture of the big thing and pass it on to you." After saying that, he quickly caught up with the instructor.

The instructor led Xu Wei to the office and took a list, which listed many items, such as flight duration, take-off, transit, and landing airport four-character codes (each airport has its own code, and the name of the airport is represented in the form of codes in the flight plan or weather report, such as the four-character code of the capital airport is ZBAA, and the code of the base airport of the aviation school is ATHENSAIRPORT) as well as the name of the pilot, the training category, and so on.

After filling out the list, the instructor took down a plastic box from the shelf, and Xu Wei took a few glances and saw that the box contained a lot of documents. The instructor led Xu Wei to the tarmac while introducing the documents in the box. It turned out that the box contained the keys to the aircraft, the inspection list, the maintenance book, the airworthiness certificate and other items, as for the use of each document, Xu Wei did not know at all.

The 9988 is a yellow Cessna 152, single engine, two seats.

Pre-flight inspection (flight term is pre-flight) are done by the instructor himself, mainly to check the fuel, lubricating oil, lights, fuselage structure, whether there is any damage to the control panel, listen to the instructor's introduction, the inspection is to follow a certain order, can not think of where to check where, it is easy to miss some items, but this time it is not training, but the instructor took Xu Wei to feel the flight, so there is no detail.

Many knowledge points need to be combined with theoretical teaching and practice, and Xu Wei has not taken a theoretical class, so he has not broken the casserole to ask the end.

Sitting in the cockpit, Xu Wei immediately became a curious baby, looking east and west, unwilling to leave any detail behind.

The steering wheel used in the Cessna series is like cutting off the upper and lower parts of the steering wheel of a car. Xu Wei still knows some basic instruments on the instrument panel, such as airspeed gauge, attitude gauge, lifting gauge, heading gauge, side slip gauge and so on. In addition to instruments that indicate the shape of the aircraft, there are also navigation devices such as VOR, ADF, GPS, and some radio communication equipment.

It's one thing to know, it's another to use it, Xu Wei is like a bystander watching the instructor make all the preparations. The instructor also casually handed Xu Wei a pair of headphones, which are specially prepared for land-air dialogue, and hug the whole ear into it, so it can also isolate a lot of engine noise. The instructor started the engine, and at the moment when the propeller turned, Xu Wei's heart tightened suddenly, his energy was highly concentrated, excited and expectant, and he seemed to take all the details into his eyes.
