The next day, Xu Wei went against the norm, got up early, and found the Ray-Ban sunglasses in the luggage pile, sunglasses are a must-have for pilots, pretending to be an artifact, and the other is a watch, the dial is the best, as for why, he doesn't know, he heard it from the senior.

In addition to sunglasses, knee boards are also prepared. The knee board is the information bag that the pilot strapped to his thigh, which contains checklists, charts, notebooks and other items, as well as a metal plate for the pilot to use for writing.

The school bus arrived on time at 7:20 as always, and on the bus, Qin Haibing was like a fly, constantly talking nonsense in Xu Wei's ear, in summary, it was to let Xu Wei take the lead first, figure out the routine, and tell him when he came down. Xu Wei didn't reply a word, he wanted to slap him to death, and his mind was full of the humiliation of being used as a gun.

When he arrived at the aviation school, before his butt was hot, the instructor took the initiative to call him in the classroom jeremy_pope. Xu Wei saw that the time was already 7:50, hurriedly packed up, took out the items needed for the flight from his bag, and hurriedly went to the archive room to meet the instructor.

When he arrived at the archives, he found that the instructor was looking for something on the bookshelf, Xu Wei didn't bother, and stood quietly aside. After waiting for a while, the instructor took out a black hardcover book and a stack of origami from it, and found that Xu Wei was behind him, said hello to him, and handed everything to Xu Wei directly. Xu Wei was curious, and looked through each one, the black hardcover book is a flight time record book, which will accompany him for the rest of his life, and there may be a second or third book in the future... This is also a reflection of the pilot's qualifications. Origami is a checklist for all kinds of airplanes, and they won't just fly Cessna in the future, but probably DA, so the checklist seems a bit much.

The instructor took the key box of the plane, led Xu Wei to fill out the task list, and got the dispatch form, and the instructor also specially asked Xu Wei if he had brought a temporary license and physical examination certificate for flight students, which is a document that must be carried during the flight stipulated by the FAA, and began to walk to the tarmac after confirming that everything was normal.

Today's task is to familiarize yourself with the steps of the pre-flight check, taxiing and take-off.

The two of them put the items in the back of the plane first, and then entered the pre-flight inspection explanation.

The flaps need to be lowered and all external lights turned on before the inspection. The flaps can be lowered by the lever, where is the light switch? The instructor first pointed to a switch "master_switch", which is the main power switch, and to turn on the lighting system, the main power must be turned on first. Then, the instructor's finger swept over a row of switches and introduced them one by one.

“flashing_light，landing_lightanti-collision_light，taxi_light…… do_you_remmember?” After the instructor introduced the circle, he finally asked with concern if he had remembered.

"Huh!" Xu Wei was stunned for a long time, he really didn't know how to answer, he couldn't say that he didn't remember one, in fact, he really didn't remember one, at that time, he looked at the whole row of dense lights, and he was blinded at that time, how can he remember what the instructor said. Seeing Xu Wei's hesitant expression, the instructor guessed that he must not have remembered much, so he comforted him kindly.

“you_just_have_need_to_care_about_functions_of_lights_not_names_of_them。” It means that Xu Wei should focus on the function of the lighting system instead of remembering their names. As he spoke, he pushed Xu Wei into the cockpit, pointed to the bottom of each light switch, and said, "Name, right?" Xu Wei looked at it, and sure enough, there was a line of English under each switch, indicating the name of the switch, Xu Wei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it was much easier to have a hint.

The instructor asked Xu Wei to come out and explain to him the location, color, function, and timing of each light one by one. This amount of information is too large, Xu Wei can't deal with it for a while, so he has to listen and record, the instructor is very humane to talk for a while and stop for a while, so that the rest of the time to write for Xu Wei to take notes, even so, limited by English level, Xu Wei has a lot of sentences that he doesn't understand at all, it's okay to ask the second time, and then he can't understand, Xu Wei doesn't have the face to ask the third time, this should also be regarded as a common problem of Chinese students, introverted and shy, about three or four percent of the explanation Xu Wei didn't understand at all, but he still said to the instructor that he understood, This bad habit was used throughout almost the entire flight training process, and it was not broken until the end.

This is followed by a circumference around the aircraft, on each control surface, like ailerons, rudders, elevators, adjustment tabs...... Check whether there is any damage, whether the bearing shaft is broken, etc. This is relatively simple, as long as you are careful enough, there is basically no difficulty. In addition, such as hydrostatic holes, pitot tubes, stall detection holes, etc., need to be detected for foreign object blockage.

Before the flight, it is very important to check the fuel, lubricating oil, etc., but the instructor said that he will not teach too much at one time, so let him digest some of it for the time being.
