The strongest pilot ever

Chapter 43
43 solo
The research team finally agreed to let Fade Chen fly solo as soon as possible!

However, they also put forward many strict requirements. For example, on the day of the solo flight, the weather conditions must be very good. If the weather conditions are not good, the solo flight will be cancelled; Assessment, theoretical assessment, and simulator operation must be tested, and no matter if there is a problem in any link, the solo flight has to be cancelled.

Moreover, the assessment team is all composed of the most experienced and highly qualified teachers in the school, not one person, but at least five people.

It seems that some are deliberately targeting Fade Chen.

But Fade Chen understands that he is actually responsible for his life, not out of selfishness.

Flying is a very dangerous job. Leaving aside the sacrifices in battle, the accidents encountered during flight often put people in danger.

In peaceful times, pilots sacrificed from time to time because of dangerous situations in flight, bird strikes, thunderstorms, complex geography, aircraft failures, and so on.

Although the planes are all made of metal, and they are several tons or tens of tons, in fact, the situation of this thing in the air is like a boat in the sea. It's just the end, and the plane is the same. Don't look at him whizzing up into the sky for a while and swooping down for a while, but when he encounters complicated weather, he is completely a paper plane, and there is not much difference.

However, Fade Chen performed very well, both in theory and in the simulator, he got full marks!
Moreover, his luck was not bad. On the day of his solo flight, the weather conditions were very good, with no clouds in the sky, moderate temperature, no wind, no gusts or crosswinds.

Seeing this situation, even the most picky teacher had to sigh secretly, God really favored Fade Chen.

This day, early in the morning, He Xiaoyao called Fade Chen to a place, and explained to him the details of the solo flight, from how to check around the plane, how to get on the plane, how to take off, and what to do in case of any situation. Dealing with it, he told her mother-in-law several times, tirelessly. Fade Chen didn't dare to show boredom, so he could only listen patiently and earnestly.

Finally, before boarding the plane, He Xiaoyao patted Fade Chen on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Fade Chen, you have to remember for today's flight, there is only one requirement, to fly honestly according to the assessment route, and to control your bird. Agitated heart, do you understand?"

Uh?
Fade Chen was startled.

Control my restless heart?
My heart is very commotion-moving?

It seems not!
He raised his head and glanced at He Xiaoyao, but He Xiaoyao's gaze was very sharp, as if he could see through all his disguises at a glance.

With a thrill in his heart, he nodded hastily: "Good master, I remember, I will fly honestly!"

He Xiaoyao nodded, and emphasized again: "Today, you only need to complete the five movements, takeoff and landing in a proper manner, and don't do any of the extra movements!"

"Yes!" Fade Chen stood at attention with a snap.

Master is doing this for his own good, and he understands this very well. Today's examiners are all picky and picky, so if they look at some of his previous aerial movements with their eyes, they may not be so perfect. See, points will definitely be deducted, and even directly disqualified from solo flight.

Everything was ready, Fade Chen was dressed for battle, wearing a flight jacket, an anti-G suit, and a helmet in hand, and followed He Xiaoyao out of the building honestly with the unique pace of a soldier.

A commuter car had already parked below, and two people boarded the car.

The car quickly drove to the airport.

In hangar No. [-], the small six has been waiting for a long time.

When they arrived, the maintenance had already completed all the preparations. A staff member came over and handed the document to Fade Chen. Fade Chen took it over, looked at it, and then signed it.

After that, it is step by step, check around the machine, board the boarding ladder, put on the helmet, and connect the anti-G suit.

After confirming that no one was under the propeller, from left to right, Fade Chen opened the first 5 switches in turn, and rotated the magneto to the "1+2" ​​position, then looked at the propeller, and pressed the aircraft engine start button.

Rumble!
The aircraft engine was started.

The propeller rotated at a high speed, pushing the originally still air backwards vigorously.

The mechanic gripped the edge of the canopy tightly with both hands, and put his head behind the windshield of the plane to avoid the strong wind.

Fade Chen reduced the throttle to 1200 rpm in time.Afterwards, he checked the gasoline and lubricating oil pressures, and after they were normal, he turned off the start switch, and opened the next 6 to 10 switches in sequence.

The mechanic looked outside the cabin and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with Fade Chen's operation, so he helped him close the canopy and got off the plane from behind the wing.

The mechanics on the ground had already removed the wheel chocks blocking the tires of the landing gear of the plane. They stood by the side of the plane and gestured to Fade Chen to start.

After making the final confirmation, Fade Chen used the radio to say: "Tower, the two holes are ready, the plane is in normal condition, please slide into the take-off position, it's over!"

At this time, there was a large area of ​​darkness in the tower.

The head of Fade Chen's student regiment personally served as the commander, and He Xiaoyao served as the deputy commander. Some other experienced instructors in the aviation school also gathered here so that they could provide timely assistance when Fade Chen had an accident. In addition, most of the expert members of the research team also stood aside, paying close attention to the relevant situation.

The formation is very huge.

The commander glanced to the side, and the staff member nodded to him, so he picked up the microphone and said, "Two holes, you can slide in!"

Chen Feisong braked and pushed the throttle valve.

The Sixth Elementary School slides slowly.

Just like driving, Fade Chen drove Chujiao Liu to the entrance of the main runway.

When he arrived at the entrance, Fade Chen made the last inspection, and then radioed: "Tower, the two caves are ready, the situation is normal, please take off!"

"Today's weather conditions are good, no wind, no clouds, field pressure 1014, allowed to take off."

"Two holes received, ready to take off!"

After receiving the answer from the tower commander, Chen Feisong braked and pushed the throttle lever.

The rumbling sound resounded through the sky, and Xiao Liu's speed became faster and faster.

Fade Chen has been paying attention to the airspeed indicator. When the speed reaches the critical speed for take-off of 135 kilometers, he decisively pulls the lever and raises his head.

boom--

Junior Teaching Six soared into the sky and flew into the blue sky.

In the control tower, all the personnel finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Today's takeoff was very smooth, and none of the problems that everyone worried about appeared.

"The lad is really good, this take-off movement is very smooth!"

"That's right, people who don't know can believe that he has only flown a few times, and his movements just now are smooth and smooth, no different from those old student pilots."

"It seems that we have to admit that we are also pilots, but the gap between people is really quite big. The previous set is only suitable for ordinary students. Talented pilots like Chen Fei and Yang Dong, the previous requirements are really It's too uncomfortable for them!"

Everyone nodded and had to agree with the commander's statement.

Fade Chen's performance just now was indeed amazing, but the other students, such as Yang Dong, Li Donghai, Qin Qingyu, etc., were not bad either. Every training session made progress beyond imagination. To be honest, many teachers Everyone felt the huge pressure, and everyone had a faint feeling that in a few days, it seemed that they would not be able to teach!
The experts in the research team also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone's hearts were very complicated. For a while, they were worried about Fade Chen's problems, and for a while, they were worried that they would be too aggressive in doing so.

Fortunately, so far, everything is normal.
