Chapter 161: A Blizzard is coming
After 17 days of intense and busy study at the Jack Helicopter Training School, Guan Hao successfully completed 200 hours of in-flight training, and finally waited for the arrival of the fourth and final step of helicopter training.
The fourth step is to conduct on-site assessments of major technologies by on-the-job instructors from the Federal Aviation Administration, including theory, practice, and actual flight.
Guan Hao not only has a good learning ability, but also has a super high ability to withstand pressure in a harsh environment, and some people can exert their strength beyond the pressure the more they are under pressure. Guan Hao belongs to such a person.
Jack Helicopter Training School is one of the largest training schools in A, the Federal Aviation Administration of country A has a resident flight instructor, Guan Hao has successfully passed the instructor's strict skills assessment, and each subject is A➕, which makes the white instructor who was originally a little disdainful of the yellow-skinned Guan Hao to be interested.
Any teacher has an innate affinity for good seedlings.
The training school specially held a small graduation ceremony for Guan Hao, as a proof that the Jack Helicopter Training School paid tribute to the first outstanding student of the school to be from country C, and also reflected the importance that the Jack family attached to this new aunt from country C.
When the white coach handed Guan Hao's hand with the newly stamped helicopter pilot's license, the people below the small stage responded with warm applause.
This is destined to be a rare moment that will go down in the annals of Jack's family history.
After more than ten days of study, Guan Hao obtained his first high-value driver's license, a skill that will be crucial to his future career.
According to the regulations of the Federal Aviation Administration, pilots who have newly obtained a driver's license can only fly a helicopter alone if they meet the requirements of 300 hours of flight, Guan Hao is now full of 220 hours, and there is still a period of time before 300 hours, Guan Hao's plan is to fly for 300 hours before leaving the Naxi Valley, and he must fly independently.
Recently, because I was busy learning to fly, my work contact has changed to sending and receiving emails every three days.
After flying all over half of country A, Zhang Yuan purchased all the equipment needed for underwater salvage in the name of the God of Wealth Foundation, and arranged the route to Mingzhu through the exclusive channels of Honghuo and the Brotherhood.
The other way of the soldiers, led by Guan Zhuolin to H City, country D, Guan Zhuolin in the Suicheng Diving School to study and train intensively in the ancient village of Da O Huang family salvage team to the past, this group of young people with an average age of less than 20 years old in the professional Suicheng diving school and D country coach training, has changed from the original fisherman children to excellent divers, the study of underwater archaeology taught by Germany has also made most of them master the basic skills of underwater archaeology, including several children with talent in underwater archaeology, was specially pulled out by the old professor for one-on-one tutoring. These will be the backbone of the future Guanhao underwater archaeology team.
Considering the needs of underwater archaeology, Guan Hao also deliberately discussed with his family and suggested that an additional budget should be made to purchase a helicopter focusing on sea rescue in H City, so that in order to have the necessary rescue forces to cooperate with salvage in future sea operations.
The family naturally fully supported such constructive suggestions, so Guan Hao was eager to achieve the goal of driving alone as soon as possible.
To this end, Guan Hao also made some necessary changes to the flight training plan for the next week: in addition to the normal day and night flight training, water flight and hovering drill subjects were also added, which are simulation training specifically for sea flight.
The advantage of the Jack Helicopter Training School is that there are all-weather training grounds, high-altitude snowy peaks, lakes, and meadows.
This allows Guan Hao to carry out targeted training in different terrain environments, and the key is to use the best equipment and the most experienced coaches to accompany the training.
Guan Hao relied on his ability to practice like a fish in water in various subjects, and his technique was quite skilled. This made everyone in the base very amazed, and everyone couldn't help but sigh that this yellow man was born to fly.
Lily also showed a special ability to fly, and soon entered the fourth subject, but Luke's progress was slower, but Guan Hao considered the need to fly a helicopter in the future, and asked the school to arrange for Luke to accompany him to practice flying in different landscapes and scenes, Guan Hao wanted to take Luke as his co-pilot, and in the future flight process, Luke will cooperate and assist him in flying, and when necessary, Luke will even fly instead of himself.
Although Luke's learning progress is a little slower than that of Guan Hao and Lily, it is still very good compared to the other students in the school.
After three days of intense training, Guan Hao can be regarded as a full 300 flight hours, he is very familiar with flying, following the instructor he flew through various environments, especially night flights and hovering on the lake has been through the snow peaks.
Just when Guan Hao successfully reached the milestone of 300 flight hours, Jack Peak ushered in the worst weather of the year.
The weather forecast reports that there will be a snowstorm tonight, and the temperature will plummet throughout Jack's Peak, and for safety reasons, Jack's Peak Ski Resort will be closed, and all gondolas going up and down the mountain will be selectively suspended.
For tourists who are on vacation in the mountains, the ski resort has also told them not to go out as much as possible, and they all stay in their rooms and wait for the snow to stop before going outdoors.
And the helicopter training school also grounded all helicopters early.
According to the regulations of the Federal Aviation Administration, in addition to the usual training of pilots, the helicopter training school is also a disaster rescue force under special circumstances, so after receiving the notice of grounding the upper hand, the Jack Helicopter Training School is also in full swing to carry out emergency maintenance of all helicopters, and all helicopters are in a tense state of readiness along with the pilot and flight students.
In such bad weather, a critical situation may occur at any time, so that helicopters will be dispatched to carry out rescue.
In fact, there will be a need for helicopter rescue in ski resorts every year, and large helicopter bases will be built near large ski resorts.
Avalanches usually occur in bad weather on snow-capped mountains, and when an avalanche occurs, only helicopters can rescue them.
The blizzard had been falling all night, and the entire Jack Peak was covered in a thick layer of snow, and even Lily Lake was frozen.
Thinking that the snowstorm would stop the next morning, Guan Hao longed to take Luke to fly to Snow Peak alone in a helicopter today, but after a good night's rest, he got up in the morning and saw that the snowstorm was still raging outside the window.
The wind of teeth and claws was like a demon with the snowflakes flying in the sky gradually approaching, the wind rolled up the sky and the snowflakes whistled on the window, and the whole sky seemed to have a white curtain drawn, although it was already early in the morning, the sun was still nowhere to be seen, and it was dark, and nothing could be seen beyond the distance, only the creepy whistling sound of the mad demon blowing in the ears.
The blizzard became more and more violent, and the biting cold wind brought large fields of snowflakes; The cold wind shook the branches, howled furiously, blowing the entire snowdrift like crazy, rolling it into the air, the cold wind kept howling, the direction changed uncertainly, many facilities outside the ski resort were almost overturned by the blizzard, if you want to go outdoors at this time, the biting cold wind is like a sharp stone blowing people's faces, so that they can't breathe, speechless. The sound of the festive wind chimes hanging from the Christmas decorations under the eaves of the flight training cadets' dormitories is completely inaudible; In the roar and whistling of this whirlwind, only a series of mournful voices can be heard, like the howl of a wolf, like the neighing of horses in the distance, and sometimes like the cries for help of people in the midst of great trouble.
Such bad weather is only comfortable in a warm room, and who is going to be wreaked havoc in that damn blizzard?
Unless there is an emergency and rescue is needed.
