Chapter 50: Flying the Airplane
Tang Shengxian, who returned home, gave himself a few days off, during which he also asked Huang Jiaxin to come out to play, which can be regarded as a return to the old days, and now this time is to quickly form those weapons and equipment into combat effectiveness, which requires him to learn again, and in the days when he recovered his energy value in the United States, he roughly read these instructions.
The weapons and equipment to be used on this trip to the plaster country are good, most of them are domestic exports, and the manuals are all translated into English in China, Tang Shengxian said that he can definitely learn by studying and researching hard, and with his current understanding, plus a certain amount of time, a certain number of live ammunition operations can definitely be skillfully operated.
But those high-quality weapons bought are from all over the world, all languages, Tang Shengxian said that the pressure is very high, although most of the same type of weapons are used in the same operation, but a slight difference may cause an accident, if it is directly exploded in Tang Shengxian's hands, it will be scrapped, fortunately, these things are not used in this operation.
Tang Shengxian, who had just returned home, had done one thing, and there should not be much to do by now, and the biggest problem in Tang Shengxian in this operation was how to go to the plaster country.
Tang Shengxian can't wait so long to take a boat, and he will waste at least fifty days at sea if he comes back and forth, and God knows what kind of mess he will make without him in the United States.
The sea route is not good, then there is only an empty road left, Tang Shengxian decided to fly a plane, that's right, it is to fly a plane, an ordinary plane is not good, it must be a seaplane, Tang Shengxian can sleep on the sea when he is tired, and he can stop and refuel when he runs out of gas, how good! Tang Shengxian originally wanted the 1950 model HU-16A albatross seaplane piloted by Stallone in the movie Death Squad.
Built by Grumman in the United States, Stallone can shoot with a heavy machine gun, splash oil, and even play a cameo role as a bomber with its huge belly.
However, the length of 19.18 meters and the wingspan of 29.46 meters made Tang Shengxian lose his temper, and the space could not fit at all, so he could only retreat to buy a smaller seaplane.
The price of two hundred to three million dollars allows it to be sold all over the world, although it is also more than 15 meters long, and the wingspan has reached 19.8 meters, but in this way, its wings can be folded and modified, and the space diagonal is 17.32 meters long, and the performance of the aircraft in all aspects will be weakened no matter how small the size is.
The plane is selected, but the most important thing is how to drive, the use of weapons can be studied and explored by yourself, after all, it is used against the enemy, but the plane is driven by yourself, and if you don't play well, the plane will be destroyed and people will die.
Someone must be taught, and there is something Tang Shengxian has just come back to do, as soon as he comes back, he submitted an application to the largest local flying club in Shanghai to learn how to fly an airplane.
You need a driver's license to drive, and you need to fly an airplane. However, most people will think that if a private person wants to learn to fly an airplane, he has to go to a foreign aviation school to learn, in fact, there is no need at all, and he can learn it at home, but the domestic private aviation industry is not very developed, which misleads the ordinary people.
Like the car driver's license, which is divided into A, B, and C licenses, China's mainland aircraft piloting license is also divided into three categories: first, the airline transport driver's license, the holder can serve as the captain of a passenger aircraft; the second is a commercial aircraft license, the holder of which can serve as the captain of a small jet and the co-pilot of a passenger aircraft; The third is a private aircraft license, the holder of which can only fly for non-profit.
Tang Shengxian also doesn't want to drive a plane to solicit passengers, just get a private aircraft driver's license, unlike a car driver's license, a flight license can only fly for the same type of aircraft. The "Airworthiness Certificate", which is equivalent to the aircraft license, also needs to be inspected once a year. To obtain an aircraft driver's license, you need to pass three levels: physical examination, theoretical knowledge and practical flight, and applicants are required to have a junior high school education or above.
In addition, after obtaining a driver's license, more than 20 hours of restorative training per year are required to ensure the pilot's driving level. The training period for a private pilot's license is generally short, ranging from two months to about half a year.
Two months is good to get a certificate, if the VIP class is one-on-one tutoring, it will be a month of things. Although the price is definitely a lot higher, Tang Shengxian can't bear the heart that wants to go to the plaster country, and he is afraid that he will not have the money to learn to fly an airplane?
Like a car driver's license, an airplane private license also has to pass three levels: physical examination, theoretical test, and flight practice, which are not a problem for Tang Shengxian at all.
Tang Shengxian's VIP class of this club, 500,000 a month to get a certificate, although it is not one-on-one teaching, but the absolute small class teaching, about three students, is still acceptable to him, the club's aircraft is a very popular American fixed-wing Cessna 172R training aircraft in the world.
In fact, the piloting of fixed-wing aircraft is almost the same, Tang Shengxian learned to drive the Cessna 172R training aircraft, and he is slightly familiar with the twin otters and can quickly get started.
After a few days of procedures, his coach called him to go for a physical examination, and by the way, he also got the book, and Tang Shengxian drove his wild horse to the Shanghai Civil Aviation General Hospital, where he wanted to meet the coach.
As long as there is no traffic jam in Shanghai, the speed can still be very fast, an hour later Tang Shengxian came to the underground parking lot of the hospital, locked the car and came to the hall on the first floor, and saw his coach at a glance, it was a middle-aged man in a good mental state, with black hair mixed with a lot of silver hair, almost fifty years old, but his waist was straight, and he knew that he had been a soldier at a glance.
That's right, Wang Dahai has been a soldier all his life, but he didn't expect to retire and become an instructor in an aviation school.
That's right, Wang Dahai used to be a glorious Air Force fighter pilot, but for various reasons he did not fly to the highest age before he was grounded, so he could not enjoy all the pilots who flew until the highest age to be grounded, according to the actual flight years and the 200% of the monthly standard of flight level allowance enjoyed when the flight was grounded, and he was reluctant to this blue sky, only got the club as a coach, because of his excellent skills but became the coach of the VIP class, so the salary is good, Although the son is of little use, the family can still live a middle-class life in Shanghai with him in Shanghai.
"Hello, Coach." Tang Shengxian stepped forward to greet Wang Dahai, as an old pilot, Wang Dalong's eyesight was excellent, and when Tang Shengxian appeared at the staircase, he found him, and also got up and walked towards him.
"Well, let's go now." Wang Dalong has been in the army for more than 30 years, and he is obviously the type who is not good at words. Tang Shengxian followed, this kind of physical examination is far less strict than the selection of air force pilots or commercial pilots, as long as you are at least 18 years old, corrected vision is above 1.0, normal hearing, and have good physical fitness and health, you can basically meet the requirements.
Don't forget that Tang Shengxian's physical fitness is explosive, what if it is checked out, isn't it going to be directly sliced, this worry is actually superfluous, since Tang Shengxian dares to come to the hospital, he must have his confidence, although the system is the same as a dead person, but the reputation is still guaranteed, these abnormal data can not be found out by relying on the most advanced detection equipment of human beings, Tang Shengxian's physical fitness is perfectly covered up in the past, but these forces Tang Shengxian can indeed feel and use it, But it just can't be measured, and Tang Shengxian doesn't know what the mechanism is.
He also discovered this secret after he used some measuring equipment that he could buy to measure himself. The results of the physical examination were revealed, and after a complete set of physical examinations, it was concluded that Tang Shengxian was very healthy, and other indicators even reached the standard of civil aviation pilots except for weight.
Hehe, Tang Shengxian's body is more than enough to be an astronaut, how could such a comment from the doctor cause a wave in his heart.
After handing in the physical examination form, you can get the medical certificate of the aviation personnel in a few days.
This time there is no need to go to the airport, Wang Dalong has brought his book, the two came to the underground parking lot together, and moved the book on Wang Dalong's car to the trunk of Tang Shengxian's car, the most difficult thing is that the flight theory is closed, 60 hours of theoretical study includes weather, navigation, radio use, flight principles, aircraft structure, air traffic control, regulations and many other content, a few thick books to see the head of the head, and there are some flight details that need to be carefully calculated, so it has become a "roadblock" for many people, These 60 hours are just the class time arranged by the aviation school, and you have to learn it yourself at home, and those who take this driver's license will not have as many shady scenes as in the car driver's license.
Cheating has passed, God is yourself, this is much more exciting than a car, don't misoperate the engine to turn off the book to use the time to hate less. But for Tang Shengxian, this should be the easiest subject.
The theory test uses a computer to answer questions, 80 questions for 110 minutes, submit it, and the test results will come out immediately. On a 100-point system, the normal aircraft private license must be more than 80 points, and the primary class must be more than 70 points to pass. According to the experience of old students, it is easier to score about 50 points, 70 points need to work hard, 80 points need to work hard, and even if the test questions in the exam question bank (updated from time to time) are memorized, it will be about 90 points at most, and Tang Shengxian, who is pretending to be forced, is already thinking about whether it is too high-profile to take 100 points. There is no way, there is no way to study well, this is also a disease, Tang Shengxian High School is enough of scum, after arriving at the junior college, his grades suddenly became the first in the class, and the glorious phoenix tail became a "chicken" head.
Later, with his hard work, he became a veritable scholar, and now he has a brighter brain, but the only thing that an otaku can get his hands on is his grades, and he has not attracted the attention of a girl in addition to good grades for three years.
