"Ah... I don't know how to fly a plane anyway, I'll be sleepy after seeing so many screens..." Zhou Yuan reluctantly followed, and began to complain before entering the cockpit.

Although she has a very good brain, she is very clever in calculating people and thinking about things, but everyone has weaknesses. Her shortcoming is that she is very slow to electronics and machinery.I was the first to learn radio operation, and Randy often secretly turned on small stoves, his level was lower than that of early autumn, and he couldn't tell the difference between diodes and resistors.

"If you don't want to fall into meatloaf, just sit down obediently! What Randy said just now wasn't all scaring, I need a navigator and lookout, these are yours!"

Ever since entering the cabin, Hong Tao didn't have a smile on his face. He pinched Zhou Yuan by the neck and stuffed her into the driver's seat, then pointed to the infrared night vision device and binoculars next to him.

"...Is it too late to regret it now?" Zhou Yuan also felt that the atmosphere at this time was completely different from the test flight two days ago, and asked weakly.

"It's too late to stand up, you can lie down... Let's start!" Hong Tao has already fastened his seat belt, put on his earphones and turned on the power supply.

With a slight shake, the tractor driven by Randy hooked the front landing gear with a hard tow bar, and slowly pulled the plane out of the hangar.The weather was fine, clear and breezy, and there were two hawks cruising in the sky, scaring all the birds and hiding them in the grass, as if preparing for takeoff.

"Randy said this plane is from France. Why don't we find an American plane? Isn't Boeing the best?" Sitting in the cockpit watching the plane being slowly pulled towards the runway, Zhou Yuan was a little nervous. This kind of emotion, I started to have nothing to say.

"If you don't want to fall to your death on the runway, stop chatting...Randy, what's the field pressure?...Autopilot not activated, communication and avionics on takeoff, yaw damping ON, pitch trim set to takeoff state……"

Hong Tao didn't intend to answer at all. He was holding a small notebook while talking with Randy while operating various switches on the instrument panel. If the status was normal, he would tick it.

"Flaps retracted, spoiler retracted, fuel check completed, pitot heat turned off... what the hell is this? Oh yes, the de-icing system... normal. Okay, you can get out of the way Already... The engine is set to open, the throttle is idle...The port side engine is ignited normally, the startbord side is ignited normally...the pitch trim is set to take off, the flaps are 5 degrees...I am about to start taxiing, wish me luck Well...throttle to 40%..."

As the tractor left, Hong Tao became even more busy. After ticking all the self-check items, he immediately started the engine, first turned a small circle on the runway, and then increased the accelerator after confirming that everything was normal, and started to roll.

"Damn, with your technology, you will be locked up every day in my airport, lunatic!" Watching the small silver-white plane run faster and faster, Randy suddenly lifted his head and left the ground, acting as a temporary control tower. Started talking weird again.

Hong Tao's lifting speed is a bit fast, which is a dangerous action, and it is generally not allowed to drive like this unless there is an emergency.But then again, there is no air traffic control, and no other planes need to enter the airport. Apart from spending some fuel, doing so will not affect any route safety.

However, there is another situation that will cause the pull-up to be too fast, and that is the novice!Hong Tao seldom used to be a pilot. He had obtained his license for a long time, but his flying experience was no different from that of a novice.

"Tch, I learned from naval aircraft carrier pilots, you poor Army Aviation, of course you don't understand... Tell Li Xiang to fix the night flight lights for me, and I fell on the power station if one of them didn't light up!"

But Hong Tao would not admit it, and even brought out his teacher to prove his noble technical background.This is not a lie. It was indeed a naval pilot who taught him to fly at Boeing headquarters, and he did serve on an aircraft carrier.Pilots in the U.S. military also have a chain of contempt, the Navy looks down on the Air Force, and the Air Force looks down on Army Aviation...

"I don't know if it's the navy. Anyway, if I had a private jet, I would definitely not hire you as a pilot. If I have a heart attack, I will call an ambulance!"

In fact, it is not Randy or Hong Tao who have the most say, but the passengers.Zhou Yuan regretted it a little since flying up with Hong Tao for the first time, but what she said at the beginning was convincing, and it was too embarrassing to retreat immediately, so she gritted her teeth and persevered.

Every take-off and landing is like riding a roller coaster... no, the roller coaster is not so exciting, it should be like an elevator out of control.My body almost felt weightless, my ears hurt badly, my heart was beating wildly, and it was still a little difficult to breathe.

"I would like to advise you, at least don't upset me during the take-off and landing stages, that is no different from suicide... Didn't you ask why you found a French plane just now, I tell you, there are only two reasons. First, it carries Roland navigator, secondly, it has three engines, even if one is broken, it can make do with landing."

Hong Tao rolled his eyes, angrily went to play with the autopilot again.Since there is no GPS signal, the instrument always alarms to remind the signal is lost, and cannot adjust the time. Whether this instrument can be used is still a question.

Falcon 7X is the make and model of this small business jet.The French Dassault Aircraft Manufacturing Company is its manufacturer.This manufacturer and brand may not be known to many people, such as Zhou Yuan.

However, this company is quite famous in the aircraft manufacturing industry. The more famous products include the Hurricane fighter-bomber, the flagship attack aircraft of the super army, the Mirage fighter and so on.

That's right, it is a dual-use aircraft manufacturer, and it still has technical advantages in the field of civilian small business jets.The main reason why Hong Tao chose this aircraft is that it has three engines.

The French are very strong in industrial design, and many of the things they make are different from others, which can be seen from the cars.Whether the Chinese like it or not, their cars are still very good. Even in Germany, French cars are everywhere.

The same is true for this aircraft. It does not place the engines under the wings like traditional jetliners, but concentrates them at the tail, with one on the left and right sides, and one on the top, in a triangular distribution.

There must be a special purpose for doing this, and Hong Tao doesn't fully understand the specific benefits to flying.However, he knows that the biggest feature of this aircraft is its large thrust-to-weight ratio. This parameter directly determines that the runway required for takeoff and landing is relatively short, it is more suitable for takeoff on plateaus, the flight speed is relatively fast, and it is relatively fuel-efficient and has a range of over [-].

In addition, its standard crew is 12 people, and there is a separate luggage compartment at the tail. The load capacity is larger than that of the same model, and it can carry 1 ton of luggage. It can be used as a passenger and cargo in a hurry.

The disadvantage is that it may look a bit ugly. Because of the three bulging engines at the rear, the overall lines of the fuselage are not so smooth, which is difficult for appearance parties.

I won’t describe how to fly the plane. Hong Tao is lucky. Although the autopilot keeps alarming, it can still be used. This saves him a lot of trouble. Yuan also held up her binoculars and stared down at the porthole.

What are you looking at?Landmark chant! With a range of 1500 kilometers, there will be deviations only by inertial navigation equipment.Without GPS coordinates, and without radio and radar guidance, the only thing that can correct the deviation is the eyes!

This is what Randy said is the biggest danger. Once the weather near the landing airport is bad, such as too thick clouds, rain, fog, etc., and you can’t find the markers, it means you can’t find the airport to land.

And jet planes can't hover at low altitude and slow speed like propeller planes, at least Hong Tao doesn't have this technology.If you can't find the airport, it will naturally be very dangerous. Even if you return directly, if you catch up with climate change after returning, there will be no place to land.After tossing back and forth twice, the oil was exhausted and finally it just fell off.

Fortunately, he caught up with good weather, and he could see the ground landscape clearly at an altitude of 3000 meters.It is easy to find Dongting Lake according to the map.

With the guidance of this huge landmark, the CS urban area is to the south along the Xiangjiang River.When we got to the urban area and turned to the east, we saw a black smoke column in the distance, like a giant dragon soaring upwards.
