Congratulations for The first students of Ruoer General Aviation Co., Ltd. getting “certificates”

  With autorotation landing precisely finished, Tang Fei, student from Nanjing Ruoer GA Co. Ltd (Ruohang in brief), drived the helicopter safely and stably to the appointed point by the flight examiner. This means, the first group of heli-students has passed the private-owned licenses for civil aircrafts approved by CAAC( Private License in brief). The first two who passed the license examination are Tangfei and Fangping, both from the first group of Ruohang heli-students.

The breathtaking driving -practice examination

  The key point of the whole is the driving –practice as the final examination. In Hollywood movies, the helicopters often demonstrate various breathtaking flight operations, which is also the picture in the driving-practice examination.

Different examiners have different requirements for the driving-practice examination. The examinations Fang Ping took include the rise and fall, the hovering flight, the quick stop, wild land landing, ramp spiral and spinning on the ground, etc.

  For the quick stop examination for example, it is required that when the helicopter keeps a certain speed and altitude, view a location as a final destination and stop there precisely, which Fang Ping has done successfully and was given highly praise of by the examiners.

  When landing in the wild land, Fang Ping must learn to recognize the wind directions by himself. “judge from the fog, tree branch swinging, and water surface”. Why try to judge the wind direction is because that the helicopter flight must be assuredly operated against the wind.

  What you need to do for to be a pilot?
