He has been in Portland for four days. Gao Yang's life is very regular every day. He got up in the morning and went to the aviation school to study with Cui Bo. He had lunch and went to the arilan Mosen studio to shoot.
In a few days, Gao Yang has been familiar with the process of the three gun shooting competition. The rest is to wait for the pistol and shotgun to be refitted, so he is familiar with the shooting characteristics of the new gun and improve the accuracy.
Gao Yang's purpose of learning to fly is very simple. That is, he doesn't want to encounter a situation where there are planes but no one can fly.
Gao Yang's requirements are also very simple. It's OK to drive a small fixed wing aircraft. Of course, they also have to be able to drive a helicopter. In fact, the most they encounter on the battlefield is a real lift.
In fact, it's not very difficult to obtain a flight license in the United States, and there are many aviation schools. It's no different from learning to drive a car. As long as you pass the physical examination and pay a sum of money, you can learn.
Gao Yang didn't want to get a pilot's license. He just wanted to drive the plane and land safely in the shortest possible time, so his learning process was much more compact. After understanding the most basic and necessary knowledge, he had to follow the coach on the fifth day to learn the actual operation directly.
What's more special is that Gao Yang didn't learn a small fixed wing plane, but a helicopter, because there happened to be a school in Portland to teach people to drive a helicopter. What's more important is that this aviation school is very large and has the models Gao Yang needs. After little Downey promised to pay more money, the aviation school saved all the steps that can be saved, Just want to make Gao Yang fly in the plane in the shortest time.
However, even if it is illegal, even if the steps that can be saved are omitted first, but after 9 / 11, the United States has very strict control over the personnel learning to fly. Although the flight school that Gaoyang studies can arrange the courses more closely and subtract some teaching processes, it does not dare to go through the procedures of verifying the identity of students and logging in and filing.
Gao Yang and Cui Bo "truthfully" registered their identity certificates, and then underwent a physical examination at the FAA, a qualified doctor recognized by the Federal Aviation Administration.
On the morning of the fifth day, Gao Yang and Cui Bo went to the clinic to get the physical examination certificate and the learning flight certificate issued by the clinic. Finally, they could fly with him according to the plan.
According to the FAA, obtaining a private pilot's license requires at least 35 hours of flight and 30 hours of ground theory teaching courses. If the teachers of the aviation school only take two hours of ground courses every day, and because they catch up with the weekend, they hold up their flight certificate for two days, they can go to heaven earlier.
The steps of the province can not be saved, but there are no explicit provisions, or if they can be achieved in one step, we must hurry up.
Originally, the aviation school should have been a small helicopter at the beginning of their study, but Gao Yang tried to fly with them for the first time, that is, he planned to try to learn to fly a Sikorsky S-70 heavy helicopter first.
The S-70 is a civilian model, and the military model is UH-60, which is the black eagle. It praises the plane they just shot down not long ago. To be exact, it looks at the plane shot down by the angel mercenary regiment.
If you learn to fly a small helicopter, the price of a flight is about $200, but you also need to add fuel tax and taxes on pilots' consumption. The normal price is always $300, but after changing the plane to S-70, the price of an hour needs $2000.
Although he needs to pay a lot of money, but if it weren't for such a high price, he wouldn't have learned from the S-70.
At the aviation school, after completing the formalities, the rest is waiting to get on the plane. However, before getting on the plane, we have to wait for the pilot to arrive first.
It was a little cold. A staff member took Gao Yang and them to the apron. After standing for five minutes, they didn't see the pilot who should have arrived in advance.
After waiting for another ten minutes, when Gao Yang felt that his hands and feet were a little cold, the staff finally couldn't help it. Obviously, he went to the place where the flight instructor stayed with anger and called people himself.
After waiting for almost ten minutes, Gao Yang began to get angry, but he saw the staff member running back quickly. After reaching Gao Yang, he gasped in his thick airway: "Sorry, Mr. Gao, today's flight plan must be cancelled. Sir, the pilot had an accident. We are extremely sorry for the delay of your time, but the pilot had an unpleasant and serious accident, and it is impossible to fly in a short time."
Gao Yang knew who was going to fly him today. He frowned and said, "what happened to Mr. hamichel?"
"Mr. hamichel just fell down the stairs and broke his head. I don't know if there's anything wrong with the bone. You know, hamichel's first voice is old and he feels very bad. Now he has been rushed to the hospital. Therefore, I'm sorry. Today's flight plan can only be cancelled."
Gao Yang frowned and said, "Oh, this is really an unfortunate and bad accident. I hope Mr. hamichel is all right. However, can no other person in the school teach us and take us to fly?"
The staff looked embarrassed and said, "sorry, there are only two pilots in our school who can fly the S-70. Mr. hamichel is one, and the other is on vacation. He is in Florida."
Gao Yang said helplessly, "if so, will our flight plan be delayed indefinitely?"
"Sorry, unless you can change to another model today, or, in fact, well, I think you can fly another model first."
"What do you mean by or?"
After hesitating for a moment, the staff said: "in fact, there is still one person in our school who can fly the S-70. However, Mr. hamichel is a very experienced flight coach. You have paid a lot of money for this. If you want to change people now, first of all, he is not as qualified as Mr. hamichel."
Gao Yang immediately came to the spirit and said, "it doesn't matter what qualification. Just tell me how his flight experience is?"
"Well, although the pilot has just obtained the qualification certificate of flight instructor, he has nearly 200 hours of UH-60 flight experience. Yes, this is another problem. The pilot was driving a military transport helicopter instead of a civilian S-70."
Gao Yang's eyes lit up immediately. He hurriedly said, "no problem, no problem, it's this one."
The staff still looked embarrassed and said, "well, about the coach's expenses."
For Gao Yang, it is absolutely more appropriate for a military helicopter pilot to teach than hamichel, a veteran civil helicopter flight coach. Although hamichel needs to pay more for teaching, Gao Yang doesn't care.
"There is no problem with the fee. There is no need to change or refund."
A smile finally appeared on the staff's face. He nodded and said, "well, please wait a minute. I'll call someone right away. It'll be fine soon."
The staff called someone to go. Gao Yang smiled and said to Cui Bo, "do you think it's a blessing in disguise for us to fly a military aircraft? Let's take the opportunity to ask how to drive the UH-60."
Cui Bo looked at Gao Yang and said, "what's the difference? If you want to know this, just ask the national bird. He drives a black eagle. You still need to ask others?"
Gao Yang waved his hand and said, "it's the same. If it's not facing the plane, we don't understand it. On the plane, even if it's civil, we can know about it."
Cui Bo nodded and said, "that's right. Well, we're really blessed with misfortune."
After waiting for a while, they saw a man shaking his head from the office building and coming towards them step by step.
The man came with a pair of sunglasses often worn by pilots, a pair of huge headphones on his head, a cigarette in his mouth, an army green M65 windbreaker, a pair of jeans on his legs and a pair of military boots on his feet. His hair was very short, just a little longer than his bald head. His head looked more than 1.7 meters, nearly 1.8 meters.
Looking at the image of the flight coach, Cui Bo smacked his mouth and said, "well, I think it. This man looks like he came out of the army. However, looking at his appearance, I don't think it's a double whammy."
Gao Yang also felt that the person who came was unreliable. Maybe he was a good pilot, but he was not necessarily a good coach. Therefore, his idea of blessing in disguise wavered.
When the flight instructor approached them, he raised his hand and waved it. Then he took off his headphones and said loudly, "Hi, hello."
When he got close, Gao Yang found that the coach looked a little awkward. How to say, he looked at his clothes, hairstyle and actions. He was a man, but when he looked at his face, he said it was a man. His face was small and too feminine. He said it was a woman, but the lines on his face were strong and angular, but even if it was such a hard line face, It still looks a little like a woman.
Gao Yang wants to distinguish between men and women on the chest, because he is wearing a fat M65 windbreaker, and obviously has a cotton liner, and his chest is covered.
Subconsciously nodded. After greeting the people, Gao Yang took a breath of air conditioning and said in Chinese, "rabbit, do you think this man is a mother gun or a woman man?"
After looking up and down, Cui Bo said with a tangled face: "well, I can't say. It should be a Niang gun, but I'm really not sure, but it should be a Niang gun. Is it a dead man demon?"
Gao Yang and Cui Bo only exchanged two sentences in Chinese and stopped talking. When the visitor finally came to Gao Yang, he didn't reach out his hand to shake hands. Instead, he stood in front of Gao Yang for two steps and stared at him and Cui Bo with sunglasses. Without using his hand, he directly spit out the smoke on the ground around him, stretched out his feet and ran it out, saying: "Hello, my name is Irene Zep aleborg. In the next time, I will be your flight coach."
