Chapter 433 Flight School
Although China's low-altitude control for civil aviation has not been opened yet, anyone knows that this is a huge gold mine. Once the low-altitude control is relaxed or relaxed, with China's huge population base and the huge number of rich people hidden in it, small aircraft will definitely grow rapidly. After all, the starting price of small aircraft is not as good as a higher-grade car, but playing with airplanes and playing with cars are obviously two levels of concepts.
Moreover, it is not as difficult as you think to get a flight license, of course, the tuition fee is naturally higher.
The flight school that Lin Dong went to was called Golden Eagle Flying School. It has been established for ten years. The school’s principal is actually the name of Li Xiaopeng’s old squad leader’s army. Usually, veterans older than him are called old squad leader after they are discharged from the army.
The old squad leader was named Wu Xingquan. He was a veteran with 23 years of military experience. Before he retired, he was in the same air force flight regiment as Li Xiaopeng. He was a pilot. Later, when he got older, he chose to leave.
Wu Xingquan's flight and flying skills are very good, so when he was about to leave, many airlines spent a lot of money to hire him as captain, which is also the choice of many pilots.
After all, compared to driving commercial aircraft, the air force requires much higher combat effectiveness and can drive fighter jets. If commercial aircraft is trained, it will be easy to play with.
However, Wu Xingquan did not go to an airline, nor did he switch to a state-owned enterprise or administrative unit. Instead, he chose to choose his own job, received a resettlement fee, and took advantage of the policy preferential treatment of the state for independent career cadres to open a flight school with a loan.
For those who can drive fighter jets, it is not difficult to get the qualification of a flight coach. In the past ten years, Wu Xingquan's flight school has started from a difficult beginning. It has now owned three branches and has a flight school with more than 100 students for a long time. His Golden Eagle Flying School is relatively famous in East China and the Yangtze River Delta region.
When Lin Dong drove the speed to the headquarters of the Golden Eagle Flying School not far from Jinling, it was almost noon.
Golden Eagle Flying School is located on the edge of a small town on the outskirts of Jinling. The Flying School needs to have enough space to serve as the headquarters of the airport. The office, the school and the airport are together.
After simply having dinner in the town, Lin Dong took out his cell phone and called Wu Xingquan.
Li Xiaopeng and Wu Xingquan were very familiar with each other. Although Li Xiaopeng was not big when Wu Xingquan left the army, Wu Xingquan went to the army many times, sometimes looking for pilots who were about to retire, hoping to pull them to their own flight school to be teachers, and some to visit comrades. At first, Li Xiaopeng was following, but later he gradually became familiar with them and had a good relationship.
Those who have worked in the military, especially those who have worked in the same profession and stayed in the same army, naturally feel a sense of intimacy. Later, when Li Xiaopeng was on vacation, he would occasionally go to Wu Xingquan's school. He knew many people and often introduced some friends to Wu Xingquan to learn flying.
Wu Xingquan was considered an early individual who entered this industry. Although he had experienced a lot of hardships over the past ten years, he also gained huge connections, which made it easier for him to do some things.
The phone was answered, and Wu Xingquan's cheerful voice came over there: "Xiaolin, right? Hello! Xiao Li has already said hello to me. You can come at any time... Already arrived? Well, come to the school gate and I asked the little party in our office to pick you up. I am accompanying the guests to visit the airport. I will come to find you after a while."
Li Xiaopeng called Wu Xingquan just to say that this was his good friend, and Wu Xingquan didn't ask too much, no one had any friends, and he was also here to take care of his business, so he was naturally very happy.
Lin Dong drove to the gate of the flight school and saw a young man waiting.
The main entrance of the Flying School is not high, but it is very wide. The two words "Golden Eagle" are engraved on the marble next to the telescopic electric door, and the characters with the number one below are Flying School.
Lin Dong got out of the car. The young man thought that he should be the real owner, walked over, glanced at the Tengjiao Speedway, and asked tentatively: "You are Mr. Lin, are you?"
Lin Dong smiled and said, "I am Lin Dong. Are you the Party Secretary?"
"Well, Principal Wu asked me to come and pick you up," Seeing that Lin Dong was about the same age as himself, the Party Secretary had a strange expression, especially when he glanced at the car again, then pointed to it and said, "Let's go in first, your dormitory and other things have been prepared long ago. There is a parking lot in the school, and many students' cars have been parked there."
Lin Dong parked the car and walked towards the dormitory area under the guidance of the Party Secretary.
Along the way, the Party Secretary also introduced Lin Dong the situation of the Golden Eagle Flying School.
At the beginning, the school only recruited two classes, one was a long-term class, with more detailed learning and more academic classifications. The second was a mid-term class, which was usually prepared for those who had a certain foundation but did not have a license. But now, as private small aircraft became popular, Golden Eagle Flying School also opened short-term classes for those who wanted to get a flight license as soon as possible.
Short-term classes usually only last a few months. If you need special care, as long as you pass the theory and flight test, you can complete the exam in a week, but it is actually impossible. After all, flight time needs to be accumulated. For a novice, it is unlikely that it can fly six or seven hours a day. It is good for an ordinary person to fly one hour a day.
Because the short-term classes are short and the teaching is simple, the tuition fee is not high. Of course, this is not high compared to medium- and long-term classes, for ordinary people, it is already quite 200,000 yuan higher.
The Party Secretary said to Lin Dong: "General short-term classes are 250,000 yuan, which includes labor costs, flight costs, tuition and miscellaneous fees, etc. Because you were introduced by the principal's comrades-in-arms, the school does not earn you money this time, and 200,000 yuan is a necessary expense."
Lin Dong smiled and said, "No need, you can make as much money as you should. Brothers can settle the score clearly. You can't just not charge money just because you are familiar with it."
Because of this sentence, the Party Secretary's favor for Lin Dong increased greatly: "Then you have to tell the principal, we can't make any decisions about this."
Lin Dong responded and saw that the dormitory building had arrived.
The dormitory building is obviously newly renovated, with a three-story building with red tiles and white walls, and the lawn next to it. Although the trees are a little sluggish this season, the environment is still good.
When we walked in and arrived at the second floor, the Party Secretary led Lin Dong to a room in Xiangyang: "This is the dormitory arranged for you. The dormitory here is a standard room for two people, with Internet computers and TVs, and the bathrooms inside. The bedding is all new. You can rest first and call me if you need it."
Lin Dong saw that there was no one in this standard room, so he nodded and asked the Party Secretary to leave. Obviously, the environment here is good, so next, we will look at the courses and what will happen.
Can you get your license in the shortest time?
Lin Dong himself searched for private driver's license courses online, and he basically won't have any problems with theory. After all, there are encyclopedias in his mind. Moreover, Lin Dong only studied driving licenses to drive a Tengjiao Speedway, and did not think about being a pilot or having higher pursuits. Therefore, in his opinion, theory, plus forty hours of flight training, should be easy to pass.
As for physical examinations, Lin Dong was even more worried. After all, he knew his body. Although he was not as good as Li Xiaopeng who had special training and extraordinary physique, he was much better than ordinary people. There were no problems with his eyes, heart or other aspects, so he would definitely pass this level.
The question is that Lin Dong wants to get a driver's license in the shortest time. He is considered a transfer student himself. Is it allowed to do so? Will Principal Wu Xingquan let himself pass this level for the sake of Li Xiaopeng?
With so many questions, Lin Dong simply packed up the dormitory, placed his personal supplies, and then took out the school's introduction and read it to understand the school's situation. It is very important for future learning. As for what to learn, Lin Dong believes that those theories should be almost complete in one night.
