Chapter 84 The gap between people is greater than the gap between people and pigs

In this year's selection, Fu Shiyu's performance was not outstanding.

The scores in all projects were just above average.

Not to mention comparing yourself with some monster.

Many boys' grades are much better than hers.

So everyone’s first impression of Fu Shiyu is her beautiful appearance and arrogant personality.

But everyone overlooked one very important thing.

That's the gender difference.

Let me put it bluntly.

It just ignored Fu Shiyu's gender.

She is a woman.

The Air Force does not play the political correctness of fairies when recruiting and selecting pilots, and treats all genders equally.

It doesn't matter whether you are a man or a woman.

Or Wal-Mart plastic bags, helicopter gunships
From the first physical examination to the re-selection and final selection.
The physical examination items that everyone undergoes are exactly the same, and no preferential treatment is given based on gender.

Take this election for example.

Dozens of girls also qualified for the selection and participated in this round of selection.

But there are only three girls who have persisted until now.

The elimination rate is much higher than that of boys.

Moreover, the overall score ranking of the other two girls was also at the bottom among more than 400 people.

However, Fu Shiyu's overall score actually made it into the top 50.

In other words.

She is not only No. 1 among girls, but also a leader among boys.

Just because of his outstanding appearance.

So much so that everyone subconsciously ignored her abilities.

Now I heard that Fu Shiyu actually wanted to skip the CJ-6 and JJ-7 and directly challenge the L-15 Falcon trainer aircraft.

Everyone took a deep breath.

At the same time, he also cast a surprised look at Fu Shiyu.

Especially when he heard Fu Shiyu say that he had already passed the pilot's license exam, he was even more impressed.

Ordinary people at her age don’t even have a pilot’s license, let alone a driver’s license. Ninety-nine percent of her peers probably don’t even have a car driver’s license.

It is not easy to get a pilot's license.

In our country.

There are three categories of pilot licenses.

The first type of airline transport pilot license allows the holder to serve as a pilot in command of a passenger/cargo aircraft.

The second commercial aircraft pilot license allows the holder to serve as captain of small jets and co-pilot of passenger aircraft.

The first two types of aircraft licenses require training in an aviation school and certain flying qualifications to be eligible to take the exam.

In other words.

The first two types of pilot licenses do not cost much, but they require systematic and professional teaching and training, as well as relevant academic certificates. (However, the tuition fees of civil aviation universities are very expensive, with four-year undergraduate tuition fees of 100,000 or 200,000 yuan, and whether or not you pass the exam depends on whether the student has talent and hard work. Aviation schools only provide a platform.)
The third type is a private aircraft pilot license.

If the first and second types of aircraft licenses can correspond to the A and B licenses of car driver's licenses, then the third type corresponds to the C license.

Holders of a private pilot's license may only fly for non-profit purposes.

That means you can only fly small private planes.

Compared with the first and second types of aircraft licenses, the requirements for the third type of private aircraft license are much simpler.

In terms of age, you only need to be seventeen years old or above.

At the same time, physical conditions such as body height, leg length, hearing, vision, etc. need to meet the physical examination requirements.

You must not stutter, speak standard Mandarin, and be able to read, listen, speak, and write Chinese characters accurately without interfering with two-way radio conversations.

Also, does it only require an outstanding education or a junior high school education or above?
Does it sound like the requirements for obtaining a private pilot license are very low and that ordinary people can take the test?
Ha ha.

You're overthinking it. Every high school graduate can also apply to Tsinghua University or Peking University when filling out their college application forms.

The above conditions are just thresholds.

From stepping through the door to getting a private pilot's license, there is still a long way to go.

If you want to obtain a private pilot license, you must first pass a physical examination, then take a 60-hour theoretical study course, and then practice on the plane.

Theoretical knowledge mainly includes aviation theory (aerodynamics, navigation, engine principles, etc.), aviation meteorology, human factors (the impact of flight on people's physiology and psychology), land-air dialogue and aviation English, etc.

The courses are complicated and it is no easier than getting into an ordinary second-tier university.

After the course, candidates will have nearly a month to review.

Next, the Civil Aviation Administration of China will conduct a unified PPL ground theory test for students.

Only after passing the theoretical test are you eligible to proceed to the next step of flight learning.

If you pass the theoretical knowledge assessment, you can start the flight practice course.

This is commonly known as 'flying practice'.

The flight practice course requires a full 48 hours of training, including five hours of simulator training, thirty-one hours of instructor-led flight training, ten hours of individual flight training, and two hours of examination time.

Simulator training is very simple, and it mainly aims to familiarize yourself with the cabin environment, instruments and controls in preparation for actual flight.

The first stage of actual flight is to be led by an instructor.

The main purpose is to cultivate students' basic aircraft operations. The training content will include take-off preparation, take-off, landing, turning, climbing, descending and other basic flying skills.

The second stage of actual flight is to fly the aircraft independently, that is, solo flight.

There is no difference between flying solo and flying with a coach.

The only difference is whether there is a living person sitting next to you.

However, when flying solo, you may encounter various emergencies at any time, but because there is no coach around, you can only handle them by yourself.

Therefore, flying solo is not just about understanding routine flying maneuvers, but also about learning how to handle temporary situations, including steep turns, stalls, slow flight, circling flights, emergency landing procedures, etc.

The third stage of actual flight is to transfer to solo flight.

After completing this solo flight, students need to learn how to fly from one airport to another.

After all, you can't always fly from the same airport, right?

Therefore, the main training content of the transfer solo flight is that the trainees learn navigation and communication skills during the training, such as how to deal with and communicate when encountering another plane head-on. Another example is how to navigate to the destination when flying in the sky, etc.

After completing the transition solo flight training, you can take the exam.

Once you pass the test, you can get the coveted private pilot license.

Generally speaking, the training period for a private pilot license is from two months to more than half a year.

Tuition fees are charged based on the type of aircraft taken.

The tuition for a general LSA sports aircraft license is the cheapest, about 150,000 yuan.

The tuition fee for a fixed-wing aircraft license is close to two hundred thousand.

A private helicopter license costs about $300,000.

As for multi-occupancy aircraft licenses, they are even more expensive.

How expensive is it?
Negotiable!!!

In China, those who can obtain a private pilot license are generally wealthy and idle people who have money and nothing to do.

Only rich and idle people would cultivate this hobby which is expensive and does not provide many practical skills.

But Fu Shiyu was only seventeen or eighteen years old.

And it is at the most critical stage of life - the college entrance examination.

Not only did she have the money to sign up for the private pilot license exam, she even spent so much time to get the license during such a critical period of her senior year in high school.

This is no longer just about being rich.

She is clearly a talented girl who is both rich and gifted!

Sure enough!
The gap between people.

Even bigger than the gap between humans and pigs!!!
