Chapter 5 The first day of aviation school

The next day, the aviation school specially sent a car to pick them up, a car of ten people, seven or eight sleepy-eyed, listless, but this time it was not a formal class but a visit, because it didn't matter if everyone was in a bad state.

A quarter of an hour's journey from the residential area to the aviation school, through a lush forest, there is an illusion of willows and flowers when you drive out, and you are faced with a vast meadow, in the middle of which lies an airstrip, and a tower of about 20 meters stands on the side of the runway.

“thisairportisourtrainingbase,athensairport。” The driver pointed to the tower in front of him and said.

This airport is called Athensairport is a civilian airport, not particularly large but enough for some small jets to land, and this airport is a control airport, and the traffic is quite large.

The so-called control airport is relative to the non-control airport, with its own control tower, that is, the "controltower", in the control airport whether the aircraft starts, taxi, take off is required to obtain the permission of the controller.

In contrast, this is not the case at non-controlled airports, where pilots use a specific radio frequency at the airport to inform other pilots of their location to avoid collisions.

For example, "greenwoodtraffic, c8817s, turntobase, greenwoodtraffic" in this radio conversation, greenwood is the name of the airport where the aircraft is located, c8817s is the unique code of each aircraft, just like the human ID number, in the United States this is called "tailnumber" 'because this string of numbers is generally sprayed at the tail, translated into Chinese should be the meaning of the aircraft serial number. "turntobase" means that the aircraft is now moving from the third side to the fourth side, and the "base" is the fourth side of the aircraft's five-sided approach, as for the five-sided approach, which will be discussed later.

This airport is the training base of the aviation school, and every training flight takes off and lands from this airport. The car is parked in front of an annex building at the airport, the house is not high and only one floor, and it is not much luxury, a large classroom, a simulation room, an archive room, as well as a conference room, an office, covering a small area, but the courses of the aviation school are generally taught in the sky, and there are not many ground theory courses, so the ground building does not need to be much high-end.

Xu Wei and the others just got out of the car, the principal and a few instructors were already waiting, Xu Wei got out of the car, and Zhu Jiawei, who was walking in front, seemed to see something very novel, turned his head, and patted Xu Wei's shoulder while pointing to the left.

Xu Wei looked in the direction he pointed, through a layer of barbed wire, in front of him was a small apron, on the apron parked a dozen large and small planes, Xu Wei's eyes suddenly attracted the past, the aircraft style is different, the upper single wing, the middle single wing, the lower single wing, single engine, double engine are also available, the style is retro, modern and readily available.

Xu Wei's blood boiled slightly, and he sketched a picture of himself soaring into the sky in his mind, with the sky above his head, overlooking the earth, and there was a lot of pride in his chest, which should be the case for men. Zhu Jiawei and Xu Wei stopped directly and looked at the plane intently, and the people behind them were also infected and looked at the tarmac.

The principal, instructor and others who greeted us saw that we were all interested in the aircraft and introduced them one by one: C150, C152, C172, DA20, DA42, Kingair.

C150, C152, and C172 all belong to the Cessna series, with a single wing and a single engine style that is somewhat retro, although the three models are different, but there is not much difference in appearance.

The appearance of the DA series is a lot more foreign, and DA is the English abbreviation of diamond, so the DA series is also called the diamond series. The DA20 is a single-wing, single-engine, extremely slender fuselage, and the wingspan is also more than that of the Cessna series, compared to the Cessna aircraft, the DA20 has a different kind of skinny feeling.

DA42 and KingAir are both twin-engine, and they will not have anything to do with Xu Wei for the time being, at least until the commercial license can fly on the twin-engine aircraft.

Meng Yang retracted his gaze and said in a sour tone: "Jiang Yixin said that they are all DA there, and the schedule of the theory class has also been arranged." Jiang Yixin walked with them when she came, but she was assigned to the headquarters.

Xu Wei was stunned for a moment, not considering Meng Yang's sour tone at all, but curious about how he got in touch.

"Do you have a global pass? No, there is no Wi-Fi in the dormitory. Xu Wei wondered, what the itinerary is, what is the same da, he doesn't care, even if he knows, he can't change anything, what he cares about is how Meng Yang contacts others, he is very eager to report safety to his family, and there is a girlfriend who has just fallen in love and separated.

"I don't have a card, but Wi-Fi does." Meng Yang said, "The house opposite our dormitory is the senior of AK Aviation, and I got up early and rubbed the net with him. Jiang Yixin's dormitory is already connected to the Internet, and we will have it in a few days. ”

Knowing that there is a net to rub, Xu Wei is also a trouble, tomorrow I will go to the senior to rub the net and report safety to my family, and the family will not have to worry. Thinking of this, my mood suddenly improved a little.
