Chapter 14: The Incomprehensible Question Bank
When he came back from the aviation school, Xu Wei took back a stack of books: in addition to the question bank, there were also private license textbooks, the implementation standards of the license exam, the operation manual of Cessna, and so on. Especially the textbook is nearly twice as thick as the question bank, and Xu Wei's heart is half cold.
I have been tortured by exams in China, and I still can't escape the fate of exams in the United States, this is fate!
I took out a question bank, and the rest of the books I brought back received it in the closet, and sat directly on the ground and looked through the question bank. Where Xu Wei and the others lived, except for the bathroom and kitchen, there were carpets in other places, and it was okay to roll on them.
Xu Wei turned the first page and scanned the first few questions, and the whole person was not good.
Question 1: "How long does a miniature downburst usually last?" Xu Wei thought for a moment and moved his gaze to the next question.
Question 2: "What is the relationship between density altitude and flight performance?" This time, Xu Wei didn't even think about it, and skipped it directly, because he didn't know what the density height was.
Question 3: "How far away can I stay safe from a thunderstorm zone?" ”
“・・・・”
Question 4: "The basic steps of spiral change." Xu Wei saw this and scolded his mother directly, isn't it a commercial license to learn if the spiral is changed? How can it appear in the theory test question bank of private photos, is there no normal question? For example, what spoilers are used for, how thunderstorms are formed, and so on. The United States is less reliable than the domestic question bank, Xu Wei thought for sure.
At this time, Meng Yang's voice came out of the kitchen.
"Xu Wei, do you want to eat noodles? I'll bring it for you. Xu Wei immediately perked up, and noodles! Finally, I don't have to eat seaweed! Hurriedly responded: "Get more, I want a big bowl." As soon as Xu Wei's words fell, he heard the sound of "pop" and "pop", which should be to boil water.
Xu Wei suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and shouted at the door at the top of his voice: "Meng Yang, do you know how long the miniature burst lasts?" Meng Yang didn't think about it for long at all, and replied directly: "It's usually fifteen minutes at most, what's wrong?" Xu Wei flipped through the back answer in disbelief, it was really fifteen minutes!
"It doesn't seem so unreasonable to ask." Smacking his lips, Xu Wei suddenly had a feeling that he would be extremely lonely in the future. "The shadow of the top students will always hang over us scumbags." He touched his chest, and he felt so much pain there.
However, he still didn't give up and asked, "Have you read the question bank?" What answered him was the sound of clanging pots and pans, as well as Meng Yang's slurred voice, which estimated that he was busy.
"Yes, it's very simple, it's okay to read it in a month, you can also take a look, the theory test shouldn't be difficult."
Someone has said that the invisible pretending is the most deadly, and it is obvious that Meng Yang pretends to be good at it. Xu Wei read four questions, and he can't do it at all! This made Xu Wei almost doubt his life, Xu Wei wanted to say to Meng Yang, "Great God, please accept my knees", he was not interested in continuing to read, and went directly to the last chapter, and when he looked at it, he couldn't say a word for a long time.
893 questions!
The last set of questions: "What is the role of cones?" The corners of Xu Wei's mouth twitched a few times, and he threw the book aside, he was worried that he would not be able to control and tear the book. Exhausted", he rolled over the bed and figured out the general arrangements for the year in his mind.
This year is mainly divided into four stages: private licenses, instrument grades, commercial licenses, and high performance.
Xu Wei: They first have to enter the private photo stage, which takes about four months in total, depending on the weather. Private photo flights are all visual flights, and sometimes, the weather does not allow visual flights, so it can only be postponed, so the specific time is not easy to determine.
The private license stage is divided into three stages, each stage has a stage exam, the exam consists of an oral test and a flight test, and only by passing the exam can you proceed to the next stage of study. As mentioned earlier, there have been cases in Australia where students have been grounded because they have repeatedly failed the first stage exam, so each exam must be treated with caution.
As for Xu Wei's most concerned and fearful solo flight, it was after the first stage exam, which was about the same as a month after the start of the flight to be exact. The solo flight lasted for 10 hours, including a three-hour long-distance transfer flight with at least three different landings. Xu Wei heard the news in the car at the time, and his face turned green. Not to mention flight control, GPS alone, land and air dialogue is enough for him to choke, and a month is not enough time for him to grow into a pilot in his own right.
During the entire private license stage, the flight duration is 53 hours, and after 53 hours, you will have to go to the FAA certified examiner to take the license test, and the license test is also composed of an oral test and a flight test. Generally speaking, if the license exam is taken twice, it is very likely to be grounded, and Xu Wei has heard a lot of these examples in China.
To sum up, Xu Wei's feeling is pressure, a lot of pressure, and it is about to crush Xu Wei before it starts.
Tomorrow, the aviation school will take them to the bank to apply for credit cards, go to the supermarket to make purchases, and help them get the network right.
The day after tomorrow, the ground class officially begins...
Everything seems to be rushed.
