Chapter 1214 Food and shelter
During the more than ten hours of journey, Xue Chen also came to the cockpit with great interest to discuss with Andrew and Will how to fly the plane. Because of the rejuvenation ability that strengthened the brain, his learning ability also doubled.
, it is not an exaggeration to say that I have a photographic memory, and I will firmly remember all the driving knowledge.
Andrew is an experienced pilot and landed in Haicheng City very smoothly. Of course, Xue Chen did not have to pay Andrew's fee, but Will's share of the reward was indispensable. After landing, Will followed Andrew and Aman
A total of three people returned to Shanghai.
Xue Chen also communicated with the management of Haicheng Airport and reached a relevant leasing agreement. As long as a certain fee is paid, the aircraft can be parked at the airport.
He originally thought that after settling the matter of the plane, he would go to Canada and check out the farm bought by Gao Dewei. It would be better if he bothered Andrew to help him fly the plane. Then he would have to hire a pilot, but he
It feels very troublesome, and I need to consider the driver when coming and going. I realize that I should get the pilot certificate as soon as possible. If I drive by myself, there won't be so much trouble.
So after thinking about it for a while, he decided to immediately start preparing to learn driving skills and get the relevant documents.
He inquired with others and found out that there is an aviation training institution in Yang'an City, the provincial capital, which is the so-called aircraft driving school. The cost is not small, and the tuition fee is as high as 300,000.
When Xue Chen learned that generally speaking, it would take several months or even a year from studying to obtaining the certificate, even if it went smoothly, Xue Chen felt that this was really too long for him.
He visited the school and got a rough understanding of the situation. The reason why it took so long was not only because the aircraft piloting skills were difficult, but also an even more important point was that the number of teaching machines used for learning was limited.
The cost of takeoff and landing is very high, so students have fewer opportunities to learn in practice, so the learning cycle will be extended.
After clarifying these issues, Xue Chen communicated with the school and put forward a few points. He could bring his own plane to study, and he could take off and land every day. As for the expenses, he would bear them himself, and the school would have an experienced teacher.
Okay, try to compress the learning period as much as possible, the shorter the better!
After listening to Xue Chen's words, the school management staff were a little stunned, because this was the first time they heard that someone came to learn to fly a plane and brought his own plane. It sounded like a new student studying medicine asked the teacher about the corpse in the anatomy class.
Does the school provide it or bring your own?
At first, the school was relatively resistant, after all, this kind of thing had never happened before.
In order to save unnecessary wasted time and get the documents as soon as possible, Xue Chen also used some connections and had a meeting with Governor Hao's secretary Hu Nanming. In this way, the matter was finally settled.
The school arranged for a master who was about fifty years old and had twenty years of experience in flying airplanes. Apart from fighter jets, he had basically flown all kinds of airplanes. It could be said that he was very qualified and became Xue Chen's full-time teacher.
,one to one tutoring.
The master's name is Zhao Xiantong. He seems to be very good at maintaining health. Although he is in his fifties, he looks like he is in his forties and he is very kind.
Zhao Xiantong followed Xue Chen to the airport in Haicheng City. When he saw the plane purchased by Xue Chen, his eyes lit up, like an old pervert seeing a beautiful little girl.
After getting on the plane and reaching the cockpit, he touched the various buttons on it very gently and sighed softly: "Those teaching machines in the school are all outdated. They must at least be more technologically advanced than your plane."
You are twenty years behind, Mr. Xue, don’t worry, I will definitely let you learn to fly an airplane in the shortest possible time, just like riding a bicycle."
"Thank you very much, Teacher Zhao." Xue Chen happily agreed.
It is not a secret that Xue Chen purchased a private jet. Several friends around him were the first to know about it, and they all went to visit it out of curiosity.
When Yang Guang, an old classmate, learned that the name of the plane was Sunshine, he was overjoyed and joked that this plane was closely related to him.
After a period of recuperation, Mr. Ning Junshan's health improved greatly, and Ning Xuanxuan finally left the hospital bedside. The first thing she did was to visit.
"Xue Chen, you are really rich and willful. You bought such a nice private jet. It's really enviable." Ning Xuanxuan said with a pout after getting on the plane and looking around.
"Sister Xuan, you are out of touch when you say this. What's mine is yours. Don't you like traveling? You can use it if you need it in the future. Haven't you been clamoring for me to repay you for not charging rent?
I think that’s it, how about giving you the right to use this plane for free forever?”
Xue Chen originally had such an idea temporarily, but he got it right, making Ning Xuanxuan extremely happy and expressed her satisfaction.
"Are you learning to fly a plane? That's great. After you learn it well, I can save the cost of hiring a driver. So you must study seriously, study hard, and don't be careless. This is not driving a plane.
It would be miserable if it fell."
Because it is one-to-one teaching, plus you can get on the plane for practical exercises at any time, you don’t have to worry about the cost of reducing the cost. Coupled with Xue Chen’s extraordinary learning speed, he almost made rapid progress. In a few days, Xue Chen mastered everything
With the basics, you can get started with assisted driving.
Zhao Xiantong couldn't help praising Xue Chen for his good brain, fast learning speed, and more talent than all the students he taught.
This is not because Zhao Xiantong saw that Xue Chen’s identity and background were not simply flattered, but because Xue Chen’s true talent and learning a technique are nothing more than a sharp enough mind and sensitive and coordinated limbs. These two points are in Xue Chen’s true ability.
Everything about Chen is impeccable.
On the seventh day of study, Xue Chen sat in the captain's seat, with Zhao Xiantong sitting aside to provide assistance, and began to try to control the takeoff and landing of an aircraft for the first time.
Those electronic buttons and various signal lights that used to be complicated and unfamiliar to Xue Chen were now very familiar with them and understood their functions and meanings.
After checking that there are no problems with all the instruments and avionics systems, start the engine, push the joystick, and the aircraft begins to taxi on the runway, getting faster and faster. When it reaches a certain speed, the nose of the aircraft begins to rise. When the entire aircraft
The body left the ground and the landing gear was retracted.
Seeing the plane getting higher and higher from the ground, Xue Chen felt a rare tension and excitement, and his heartbeat also accelerated.
"Very good." Zhao Xiantong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he was very nervous. He has taught hundreds of students, and this is the first time that a student has guided the flight and landing of an aircraft after just seven days of training. This sounds really good.
It’s crazy, after all, even if it’s learning to ride a bicycle, someone might not be able to learn it in seven days, let alone fly an airplane.
After flying around the designated route for about ten minutes, the plane finally landed smoothly back on the runway of the driving school.
In the next three days, Xue Chen kept contacting the plane's takeoff and landing. He looked at the school leaders and thought to himself that it was not the school that was spending money, otherwise he would not be able to part with it.
After seven days of formal study, Xue Chen submitted the flight test information to the Civil Aviation Administration through the driving school. Normally, such a short study time would not be qualified at all, so he had no choice but to use some connections.
Soon I was notified that I would go back to Yang'an City for the assessment.
Naturally, the aircraft used for the exam will not be a personal aircraft, but a domestically produced aircraft, a jet aircraft produced in the 1990s.
Although the planes are different, the principle is the same. Just like if you can drive a Bentley Rolls-Royce, you can naturally drive a Santana Jetta, but it will be a bit tricky.
In this way, after spending more than half a month, Xue Chen finally obtained the private jet driver's license!
"Awesome!" After Wang Dong got the driver's license from Xue Chen, he grinned and gave a thumbs up, then with his eyes rolled, he took a photo with his mobile phone and sent it to his WeChat Moments.
, attached text: I just passed the exam.
Soon, more than a dozen people below recovered, some expressed surprise and kept asking questions, and some who knew the details sent contemptuous expressions.
During the period of learning to drive, Gao Dewei called twice, both asking him to go to the Canadian farm to have a look. Jing Yunxing, his wife and their children had arrived in Canada, and now he was finally ready to leave.
.
Xue Chen completely regarded this trip to Canada as a trip. He thought it would be more lively because of the crowds, so he sent a message in the circle of friends, saying that he would organize a group vacation in Canada, and the round trip would include free food and accommodation.
Wang Dong was naturally very enthusiastic and had already talked about it, bringing his wife Jia Meimei with him.
And Ning Xuanxuan is a person who likes to have fun. She stayed by the hospital bed some time ago and felt depressed for a long time. She also wanted to go outside for a walk, take a look, and relax her mind.
What surprised Xue Chen was that Shen Zixi also sent a message saying that she also wanted to go, not just to follow him for fun, but for another reason.
It was because Andy also notified Shen Zixi and Li Caiwei, two companions who were in trouble together, and invited them to attend the 20th birthday party. Shen Zixi learned from Andy that Xue Chen was also invited, so she wanted to go with Xue Chen
Go.
Xue Chen did some calculations and found that it seemed that there was still about half a month left before the date Andy mentioned. If he went to Canada, he would most likely go directly to the United States from Canada. If Shen Zixi wanted to be with him, she could only
We can go to Canada together.
Andrew also sent a message and was willing to go sightseeing and help fly the plane.
