Chapter 482: Pilot License (Part II)
Three days later, Lu Li sat in the main pilot's seat for the first time, holding the control stick a little nervously, patiently waiting for the take-off order issued by the control tower. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although he is a person who has seen strong winds and waves, he is still a little worried about flying an airplane for the first time.
After all, an airplane is not a car, except that the death rate of traffic accidents is not high, and once this thing has an accident, the probability of survival is basically outrageously low.
In particular, the huge fuel tank is like a barrel of explosives, which can swallow the entire plane in an instant.
Old James obviously noticed the anxiety in his eyes, and laughed and encouraged: "Rookie, relax! You are flying a propeller trainer, which is far safer than those jets." What's more, your learning ability is very good, and if nothing else, you will definitely be able to take off and land safely. ”
"I hope so......" Lu Li muttered in a low voice, closing his eyes and silently recalling the precautions when taking off.
Just when he was a little distracted, a notice suddenly came from the headset that the control tower was allowed to take off.
Without any hesitation, he quickly turned on the land lamp with extremely skillful movements, lowered the flaps to the fifth degree, and slowly pushed the throttle.
Gradually, the plane began to accelerate along the runway, and after a while it left the ground and climbed towards the sky, followed by the retraction gear, radio contact with the control tower, and the entire take-off process was completed after climbing to the specified altitude and confirming the course.
Although it was only a few minutes in total, Lu Li was sweating.
You must know that as long as one of the procedures just went wrong, the plane may have an accident during takeoff.
After all, he is not an Aeroflot pilot, and even if he falls off a wheel, he can still take off and land safely......
"Hehe, how did you feel about taking off for the first time?, did you pee your pants in fear?" said old James teased.
Don't look at him for pretending to be cool and personable in front of strangers, Dan is a sullen bastard at heart, even if he is seventy-six years old, he will often visit strip clubs.
"Even if you pee your pants, I won't pee them. Lu Li rolled his eyes angrily while piloting the plane.
After a few days of getting along, the two are basically acquainted, and they have a lot less scruples when they talk.
Old James was not angry, and shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "You're right! When I get Alzheimer's in a few years, I'm afraid I'll really have to put on diapers, and that kind of day is terrible just thinking about it." Okay, don't talk nonsense, hurry up and give me the technical maneuvers as required, it's not that easy to get a pilot's license. ”
"Understood!"
Lu Li nodded, skillfully pulled the joystick to climb and descend, and in just a few minutes, he not only made the prescribed technical moves, but also performed several dangerous stunts that the old man had performed before.
"Fake!rookie!Are you crazy?, dare to mess around the first time you go to the sky?" James was so frightened by the continuous tumbling flight just now that he burst into a foul mouth.
Lu Li smiled disapprovingly: "Hahahaha! Don't worry, according to our current flight altitude, even if there is an accident, there will be enough time to correct." And didn't you say that as a pilot, the most important thing is to have a heroic and fearless heart. ”
"Damn, that's a fighter pilot! You just need to get a private jet pilot's license, you don't need to be so desperate!" James growled at the mouth.
He didn't expect Lu Li to be so bold and take his drunken pretending to brag seriously, if it weren't for his good psychological quality, he would be scared out of heart disease.
You must know that for propeller aircraft, continuous flipping is an extremely dangerous aerobatic maneuver, and even many experienced pilots have to be extra cautious.
"Okay, okay, you're the coach, listen to you. Seeing that the old man was angry, Lu Li hurriedly surrendered.
In fact, he chose to do continuous tumbling not on a whim, but to test his natural ability to make an impact on the aircraft.
The answer is yes......
Yes!
Not only can it, but it is very effective, and when necessary, he can even create a strong air flow out of thin air, suddenly changing the direction and speed of the aircraft, so that the propeller plane can fly faster than a jetliner in a short time.
In the same way, he can cause many uncontrollable accidents in the plane, such as causing two close planes to suddenly collide with each other, or draining the oxygen from the combustion chamber of a jet plane and forcing the engine to stop.
As his understanding of the wind attribute became deeper and deeper, Lu Li found that the blue sky was simply the home field set up for himself, no matter what advanced fourth- and fifth-generation stealth fighters you are, as long as you enter the control range, you can crash it in minutes.
However, considering the old man sitting next to him, he never tried those cool stunts again during the next training time, and honestly practiced taking off and landing in the way of the textbook, and the forty hours of flight time passed in a flash.
With a near-perfect performance, he quickly took the PPL test organized by the Civil Aviation Authority, and successfully obtained his private jet pilot's license with ten days to go.
Of course, this license is only the lowest level of flight permission in the United States, and can only fly small private jets, and then there is a commercial license, with a training time of up to 250 hours and a cost of more than $800,000, and the holder can fly a civil passenger aircraft.
But for Lu Li, a private jet driver's license is enough......
The day after he got his driver's license, he briefly arranged the company's affairs, and then took Dan, Maya, and Vivian with Dan, Maya, and Vivien on the pretext of inspecting the business environment, and drove the Piper PA-42 from Miami Airport to La Guaira, Venezuela.
As soon as the plane was in cruising mode, he turned around and asked, "Dan, how is the progress of the carrier pigeon's deciphering codebook?"
"It's 90 percent done, it's all in the mailbox, do you want to see it now?" said Dan, pulling out a seven-inch tablet from his pocket, quickly entering the account and password, and logging in to one of the mailboxes.
"You don't have to look at it, just tell me about the notable content. Lu Li picked up the cup and took a sip of coffee.
Despite the fact that the driver spent most of his time idle, he did not dare to divert his attention.
After all, not everyone is as generous as the third brother of Air India, and the captain and co-pilot actually walked out of the cockpit to sleep after entering the cruise state, leaving the flight attendant in charge of watching the plane......
Dan took a quick look, touched the thick stubble on his chin and said, "Hmm...... Most of them are transaction records and money flow records, with only two points worth noting. One mentions that they found a gold trident badge lost three hundred years ago in Ukraine, and the other is a record of sea monsters in the Bermuda Triangle......"
