The aviation school was already bustling in the early morning, with several helicopters flying up and down, like training vehicles doing overturning in the air.
Their aviation school mainly deals in helicopters. Except for low-end models worth less than 10 million yuan, the rest are all Bell models, from Bell 206BIII to 206LIV, to 407 and 427. There is only one of the most expensive 430, which is only used as a training aircraft when it is not leased to others.
Brother Sun and the others came early. They had sobered up from the alcohol they drank yesterday at noon. They looked at the helicopter in front of them with eager expressions.
The same is true for Xia Yu. He has ridden in a helicopter many times, but has never driven one himself. Once he gets his private license, he will try it out as soon as possible to experience what it means to be a true air overlord.
"Xiao Xia, you're here, it's quite early!"
Seeing Xia Yu coming, Brother Sun greeted him.
"It's the first day on the plane, so we have to come early, right? Brother Sun, didn't you guys arrive early too?"
"It's my duty. After all this trouble, I finally made it to the sky. I should have come earlier."
Xia Yu joined in, and everyone took advantage of the time before boarding the plane to chat, and the topic was all about helicopters.
Brother Sun studied the Bell 427, and the other buddies studied the 206 model and the 407 model. What they studied mainly depended on their budget for purchasing the aircraft.
Those with a high budget can choose the expensive ones, and those with a low budget can choose the cheap ones. However, the cheapest ones cost more than 10 million, which is more expensive than the big villas in the countryside of Shanghai.
Don’t rich second-generations like to form supercar clubs? Xia Yu and his friends can also form a flying club and fly together. This will definitely be more eye-catching than a long line of supercars whizzing past.
"Everyone, pay attention. I will now begin calling out names. Students whose names are called, please step forward. Our instructors will lead you to your respective aircraft and then officially begin the instruction."
The instructor in a one-piece flight suit clapped his hands and everyone immediately quieted down.
"Xia Yu!"
Unexpectedly, the first person called was himself, and Xia Yu hurried forward.
A teacher wearing sunglasses and about the same height as him asked him to go to the corner.
"Let me introduce myself first. My last name is Zhao Geng. You can call me Teacher Zhao."
"Yes, Teacher Zhao!"
Xia Yu answered concisely and clearly.
Learning to get a private pilot license is not like the military management of the Air Force Aviation School, but he thinks there is nothing wrong with being serious.
"Well, I've seen your theoretical results, they're very good, so I believe you can do just as well in practicals."
Seeing that Xia Yu had a very positive attitude, Zhao Geng encouraged him, but then he realized that his words were a bit redundant.
On the apron in the corner of the aviation school was a Bell 430 that had just been refueled.
It is the same model as Xia Yu's, but it is painted orange. Looking through the glass, the interior and instruments are also slightly different.
Sure enough, airplanes and cars are similar, with the same outer shell, but different configurations. Xia Yu's is a high-end one, and this one is almost the lowest configuration. The aviation school must be saving money in this regard.
There was no rush to get on the plane. Zhao Geng first took Xia Yu around the plane, talked about some items that needed to be checked, and then signed with the maintenance staff.
This involves a lot more steps than driving, but it is also safer.
After opening the cabin door and getting on the plane, the two of them sat in the pilot's seat and the co-pilot's seat respectively.
The co-pilot of the training car only has brakes but no steering wheel, but most helicopters have two operating systems. Such redundancy can ensure safer flight. As a training aircraft, this is even more prominent.
After getting in the driver's seat, Zhao Geng didn't waste any time and directly took Xia Yu to familiarize himself with the instruments and joysticks.
There are two joysticks, the collective pitch lever controls elevation and the control stick controls direction. Xia Yu listened very carefully and quickly became familiar with these things, while some guys on other planes were already sweating profusely.
It's just like when someone is learning to drive a car and sighs that it's not something a human being can learn. The same is true for learning to fly a helicopter, but once you get the hang of it, everything becomes very simple.
With the help of the Air Overlord Buff, Xia Yu got the hang of it quickly.
After teaching him once, Zhao Geng wanted to test him and found that the boy could answer all the questions correctly.
Interesting, this guy might be a black fly.
When Xia Yu was learning to drive, he met experienced drivers who had been driving for several years. It was not that their driver's licenses were revoked and they had to retake the test, but they failed the test when they got on the road. There were also such cases among pilots, but he was not one of them!
Zhao Geng sped up the process, hoping to test his true level, but the more he tried, the more frightened he became.
Xia Yu understood things immediately and was able to apply the knowledge in the textbook to other situations. The progress he made in one or two hours was equivalent to that of one or two days.
No, let’s take off quickly and take him for a ride in the sky!
Zhao Geng asked Xia Yu to watch his movements carefully, then started the engine, reported to the tower, and took off.
In Xia Yu's mind, Zhao Geng's actions gradually overlapped with Wang Xiang's previous operations, and the entire driving process became smooth in an instant.
So this is how you fly. Xia Yu felt like he had figured it out.
Zhao Geng: No, you won’t!
Zhao Geng didn't know that Xia Yu had a buff, so he just wanted him to experience the flying process. He didn't expect that he had already mastered the wall-hanging technique. Even if he could do it, he had to watch carefully.
Helicopters took off one after another, and the instructors led the students to experience the joy of flying together.
The only drawback is that it is too noisy. With so many helicopters taking off at the same time, the noise is unimaginable. No wonder the aviation school’s teaching buildings all use double-glazed windows, otherwise classes would be impossible.
In the next few days, Xia Yu made rapid progress, and the other brothers also found their form and began to immerse themselves in the joy of learning.
A man’s romance is controlling a machine, whether it is a car or an airplane. The feeling of having everything under my control is very charming.
Xia Yu was fine with this, but Brother Sun and the others were obviously feeling dizzy when they walked, as if they were enjoying themselves.
After finishing his morning classes and having lunch in the cafeteria, Xia Yu sat on the field and had the rare opportunity to check Bilibili.
He mainly wanted to see if Yin Suya had updated anything, but more than half a week had passed and there was no movement on her account.
Ask her on WeChat?
He felt a little embarrassed, after all, he had been a hooligan and taken advantage of someone that night.
People say the lower body is hard to manage, so why can't he manage the upper body?
A gentleman uses his mouth, not his hands. What does it mean that he uses both his mouth and his hands?
Unable to come up with the answer, Xia Yu could only watch videos to pass the time.
I don’t know if the big data captured the keywords during the chat, but he suddenly found a teaching video about Wanwan.
It wasn't a helicopter, but it looked like a primary trainer aircraft. It had a lot of views, so Xia Yu clicked on it without thinking much.
"Why are you looking at him? He's not Lin Zhiling."
The iconic accent immediately attracted Xia Yu and made him want to continue watching.
Judging from the development of the video, the student flew very poorly and the instructor's tone was very impatient.
It would be good to find the right state, but the following high energy made Xia Yu change his mind.
