I love you, I won't kill you

Chapter 232 The most challenging flight

It seemed that the instructor was acting insane, and his student pilots were even crazier.However, this is a situation that Amanda has to learn to deal with.Paul said to her, "No, Lieutenant, I will take over the plane now."

In the end, when the T-6A was almost about to hit the ground, Major Andres pulled the nose up, quickly increased the flight power, and returned to the blue sky of Whitingfield.

When the plane was in the air again, Paul radioed to Amanda, "Well done. The U.S. Navy tells us that flying conditions aren't always normal. So make sure you're 100% Learn how to deal with emergencies."

"Got it, sir, I understand." Amanda replied while manipulating the aircraft control stick.

But I said in my heart, "Uh... descending rapidly, it feels very exciting and cool. It's a bit like wearing a winged squirrel suit and hitting the ground. Winged squirrel suit, flying squirrel suit? I don't know how Julie and the others are doing now , are you having fun in Orlando?"

How can a girl's mind be seen by a middle-aged man in the same space.Although Paul didn't know what Amanda was thinking under the oxygen mask and helmet, he believed that the Marine Corps ensign female officer must be very crazy in some personal ways.

The major would not be so stupid as to ask a purely personal question.He was just a little surprised that when Amanda was asked to do a stall flight just now, she didn't even show a trace of fear.You know, this plane has more than dozens of pilot students.Whenever he asked his cadets to stall, they acted like a child going through a horrible event.

In view of the dynamic environment during flight and various restrictions in the cockpit, it is inconvenient for the major to raise the question at this time.At present, he only has one requirement for Amanda, which is to try her best to pilot the T-6A proficiently in all aspects until the day she can fly alone.

Only with proficient driving can she cope with more and more flight subjects and emergencies in the remaining accompanying flight training, or even a combined flight of flight subjects and emergencies.Especially before the flight assessment is approaching, Amanda needs to complete more flight subjects in the air every day than can be handled.

Amanda's training and on-the-spot performance in the afternoon made the major not have too many objections.Just when she thought she would just keep flying until the instructor took over the plane and landed, she heard the major say over the radio, "Second Lieutenant, you want to know my evaluation of you? Well, I will add a new one to you today." flight subjects, that is, flying and landing under normal conditions."

"God, the Major really thinks I can do it?" Amanda couldn't help but have some doubts in her heart.

"Lieutenant, I just let you land in a normal state, understand?"

"Understood, sir." Amanda recalled the description in the flight manual again: the landing of the aircraft is divided into landing with different combinations of flaps and ailerons, landing in crosswinds, and landing under various engine or propeller failure conditions , and about landing on an aircraft carrier or at night, etc.

Now, the major is just letting her do a normal landing.Amanda couldn't help saying in her heart, "Hmph, normal state? Even normal state will have certain difficulties, not to mention that the US Navy has never believed that flying is always in normal state."

After pondering for a few seconds, he said, "Sir, the cadets are now starting to land under normal conditions."

"Got it, Second Lieutenant, let's start." The major replied slowly.

At this time, the Whitingfield base has ushered in the dusk of the afternoon, and the difficulty of flying and landing training at this time is lower than that at other times.There is no particular reason or statement, just that there is less wind and turbulence.

Amanda had discussed the major's approach to landing in the morning with him before lunch.Then, the next job is to carry out the most challenging control in flight by herself.

Driving the T-6A gradually approached the airport, and made another 180-degree sharp turn over the airport.After the plane turned, Amanda pointed the plane to the side of the runway.Keep your eyes on the level, and keep your hands on the flaps and landing gear to prepare for the upcoming landing.

Keeping her eyes on the approaching runway, Amanda felt her palms were covered with sweat.This was the first time she landed with a plane, and the first time she controlled an advanced aircraft back to the ground alone.She didn't know that the T-6A fuselage was already shaking slightly.

If the major does not give instructions at this time, then he is not a qualified senior naval flight instructor.He said calmly to the radio, "Second Lieutenant, believe in yourself! Remember the lessons you have learned, and prepare yourself for every flight."

In less than two seconds, Amanda replied, "Got it, sir, I'm going to be an aggressive self-critic!"

After a quick check of the landing checklist, Amanda made a decent turn at the end of the runway.After the T-6A's tires touched the airport ground with a puff of smoke and a sound, the "Texan" driven by her finally landed safely on the ground.Lightly stepping on the brakes, the speed of the plane quickly slowed down until the moment it was about to stop.

The ensign student who had worried about Amanda before was still flying the T-6A in the air behind him.Curiously, he asked his instructor, "Sir, I think their landing method seems a little unsmooth."

"Lieutenant, this is not Major Andres' landing. However, I hope you have seen their landing clearly."

"Sir, what are you talking about? Isn't this the Major's landing?"

"I don't understand Major Andres' intentions, but it's clear it's his confidence in his cadets."

To be able to gain the trust of the instructors in the first day of escort training is a relatively new and curious thing in Whitingfield.The ensign's mouth, hidden under the oxygen mask, couldn't help curling his mouth, thinking to himself, "God, how could she learn to land on the first day of flying?"

Sitting in the cockpit of the already parked T-6A, Amanda took off her oxygen mask.Turning his head, he asked the major, "Sir, I know there are many problems with this landing. This...won't affect my flight evaluation?"

Paul took off his oxygen mask and smiled softly, "So far, my assessment of you is pretty satisfactory."

Amanda showed a relaxed smile, "Sir, does this mean that I can pass the flight test?"

"Uh... I don't know. However, I can tell you that there will be an instructor in charge of the assessment to make the most fair ruling on your flight performance according to the Navy's standards."

Amanda didn't expect to get such an answer, and replied a little discouraged, "Understood, sir."

Paul saw the usual expressions of previous students from her face, and encouraged her, "Second Lieutenant, although I will not be your chief examiner, you still have a lot of flight escort training. Do you want to get rid of that 'well'?" ?”

"Of course, sir."

"Well, I can try to get you to make another successful landing before dinner today."

"Thank you, sir."

"You're welcome, Second Lieutenant. Remember, no matter what the situation is, as long as you can fly the plane back, don't give up easily."

When Amanda was about to put on the oxygen mask again, Paul simply said, "This time the training landing will be carried out in the sky near the airport."

"Understood, sir." For a moment, it seemed that she had the momentum to return to the blue sky.
