In the next two weeks, Qin Yi ran to Great Falls more frequently, basically once a day if weather conditions permitted.
After his efforts, the solo flight time gradually reached the standard, and finally applied under Sean's arrangement.
He passed the exam on Friday of the second week and got the coveted pilot license.
Of course, what you get now is a temporary license, but the legal effect is no different from the formal license.
The formal license will be sent to the ranch within two months.
Since then, Qin Yi has achieved a small goal and can fly the farm's pesticide aircraft to inspect the pasture.
He couldn't wait.
He called Sean the night before and asked him to come to the ranch to help check the condition of the plane.
If there was no problem, it could fly.
At nine o'clock on Saturday morning, Sean came to the ranch.
Qin Yi invited him to the living room for a cup of coffee, and then took him to the warehouse in the Rye District, where the small plane had always been parked.
Angel and Sousa naturally followed, as well as the Lane family.
Although they had seen this small plane fly many times, this was Qin Yi's first time flying it himself, so the meaning was naturally different.
The ranch's small plane is a light biplane.
The landing gear uses large-travel oil shock absorbers and low-pressure tires, allowing it to take off and land on the road.
The small plane has 12 seats, a maximum range of 1,560 kilometers, a speed of up to 256 kilometers per hour, and a load of 1,500 kilograms.
Although it is a model from decades ago, it has good safety and reliability, is simple to use and maintain, is safe and reliable, and can not only be used for sowing, fertilizing, geological exploration and other work, but can also be used for civil aviation passenger transportation, and can even be equipped with water flight equipment.
Can also be used as a seaplane The supporting inspection and maintenance tools and instruments are all complete.
Sean was inspecting and explaining to Qin Yi beside him.
Qin Yi naturally studied hard, including routine safety status inspections and common fault repair methods.
He did not omit every detail, and he was ready to exhaust Sean's aircraft maintenance knowledge.
After all, I will be flying this little plane often in the future.
You still have to learn how to repair it yourself, otherwise you have to ask someone to come all the way to check and repair it every time before driving, even if you are not afraid of trouble.
But it's always bad to trouble others.
After checking, nothing was found.
Sean did some maintenance, clapped his hands, turned to Qin Yi and said, "That's it.
Yi, you can fly now."
"Ha, after working for so long, I can finally fly this plane and overlook the pasture."
Qin Yi was a little excited.
He shook Sean's hand first to express his gratitude, and then happily said to Sousa and the others who were also looking forward to it: " Hey, did you hear that?
I'm going to fly."
"Can you take me with you?"
Angel ran over impatiently, took his hand, and asked with her little face raised.
"Of course, of course" Qin Yi was overjoyed.
He squatted down and took a bite on the little girl's face, "The little bird is still waiting for you to fly with you.
You will transform into a white swan.
That is a very beautiful bird."
"Well, white swans also need birds as friends."
Angel jumped up and turned her head to look at Susa, who was smiling.
"Mom, do you want to fly with Uncle Yi?
In the sky, let's do it together. white swan" "Of course, of course" Susa shook her head with a smile and looked at Qin Yi.
I feel that he has completely lost the maturity he used to have.
At this moment, he is as excited as a child, just like Angel.
"Okay then.
Let's start quickly.

After flying around for a while, I'll treat everyone to lunch."
Qin Yi pulled Angel to board the plane, and Susa naturally followed.
Although Qin Yi, a novice, piloted a broken plane that had been shelved for half a year, there was a certain risk.
But she is calm inside.
If something goes wrong, let it come.
"This is my first flight, how could I be missing?"
Sean also stepped up to follow.
He was very confident in his maintenance ability.
Now he was trying to give everyone confidence.
Otherwise, he had inspected the plane but didn't even dare to sit on it.
How could others fly with confidence?
"This is Yi's first time flying after getting his pilot's license.
I can't miss it."
Sean has indeed set an example.
Seeing that he is full of confidence, Ryan is not lagging behind.
Moreover, he has worked on the ranch for many years and has seen many flights of this aircraft without any accidents.
Therefore, although he is a little nervous , but there is no fear.
In the end, even Suzy and Rachel couldn't bear the anticipation and boarded the plane.
After all, as Ryan said, this was Qin Yi's first flight after getting his pilot's license.
If he missed it, he might regret it for a long time.
"Haha, guys, we're going to fly."
After everyone sat down in their seats and glanced at Sean, who was giving an OK gesture to him in the co-pilot, Qin Yi conveyed the takeoff notice through the onboard communication equipment, then pushed the handbrake, the engine started running, and the small plane flew along the pasture.
The road moves forward slowly.
As the horsepower increases, the aircraft speed becomes faster and faster Looking at the retreating scenery outside the window, everyone was in the same mood as Qin Yi, excited, nervous and looking forward to it.
Finally, after 130 meters of taxiing, the speed reached its maximum.
With Qin Yi's operation, the nose of the aircraft rose, roared, jumped into the air and continued to climb.
"Wow, let's fly, Mom, we can fly."
Angel was in high spirits and wanted to stand up and jump excitedly, but Susa, who was sitting next to her, kept holding her little hand tightly, and the seat belt around her waist reminded her not to move around yet, so she just sat down and just I couldn't help but twist my little head and look at the shrinking grass outside the window, thinking about how I should say hello to the birds when I meet them later.
"Yes, we are flying" Susa lowered her head to look at her, the smile on her face was equally bright.
This feeling was completely different from flying on a civil airliner.
It was like taking a taxi and driving your own tractor.
It felt like a free and unfettered feeling. , obviously She glanced at Qin Yi who was concentrating on driving in front of her, and then followed Angel's gaze, admiring the majesty of the surrounding scenery gradually becoming smaller under her feet.
Sitting in the back, the Lane family were also overjoyed.
Now that the plane had taken off safely, they had eliminated their nervousness.
All that was left was the fun of flying over the ranch.
Although I have worked and lived in the ranch for many years, this is the first time I have seen the beauty of the ranch from the air.
Almost two minutes later, the plane rose to an altitude of 500 meters, and then maintained a smooth flight under Qin Yi's control.
While observing the avionics equipment, Qin Yi shouted to several people on the plane through the communication equipment: "Passengers and friends, I am Captain Qin Yi.
The plane is flying smoothly now.
Everyone can move around."
"Wow, Uncle Yi is the most powerful.
He can take us flying."
Angel immediately went to unbuckle his seat belt, but it was so tight that he couldn't unbuckle it for a while, so he had to look at Susa expectantly and ask her for help.
Susa looked at the impatient little man, smiled and tapped the little girl's face with her index finger.
It might feel a little ticklish, but the little girl smiled and shrank her head to avoid it.

With Susa's help, Angel unbuckled her seat belt, jumped to the cab door, stood on tiptoe, and admired the blue sky and white clouds through the front window, and then wanted to get closer to Qin Yi to take a look.
She saw This is the first time I’ve seen an adult drive a car or fly an airplane.
I’m very curious.
However, Susa didn't let her get her wish, so she quickly called her back, fearing that the little girl would touch her randomly and affect her safe flight.
So, the little girl made a face, stuck out her tongue, and ran back to the cabin, joking with the adults who were sitting there.
Qin Yi controlled the small plane and first flew around the workers' house in Rye District a few times, intending to show the cowboys how heroic a rancher he was flying in a broken airplane.
However, the cowboys had all gone to graze, and there was no one in the workers' house.
Man, let Qin Yi's plan go to waste.
So he changed course and began flying around the rye field, looking for grazing cattle.
After flying for a few minutes, I finally saw groups of calves on the horizon.
A few cowboys were standing guard on horseback.
Due to the height, they had shrunk a lot and looked very novel.
