Highly nervous with both hands and feet

Talking about the experience of the first operation on the aircraft, the student Ma Yang said excitedly: "The nerves are highly tense, both hands and feet come in handy, the left hand controls the flying height, the right hand controls the forward and backward direction, and both feet control the left and right direction. It s like cooking, it s too busy not to learn to use it all at once.

"They all changed from flight attendant to flight major in Civil Aviation Flight Academy last year," said Shi Dagui, deputy secretary of the party committee of Xinjin Branch. Ma Yang, born in 1985, came from

The plane instructor praised her as soon as

On the 19th, the reporter also boarded the Bell 206 helicopter and experienced it. The chief and co-pilots were played by Yu Yi and Xie Xizhen. Although it hasn't been a long time to get on the plane, Xie Xixun, who is sitting in the co-pilot position, is not panic at all. She rhythmically operates the control button above her head according to the password. When the propeller sound became louder and louder, Xie Xiyi held the headset in hand and said clearly: "Tower tower, after inspection, everything is ready to take off." During the slow ascent of the helicopter, there was some bumps and it stopped in the hovering area. After a while, the reporter felt that the helicopter was accelerating and then rapidly rising. During the whole speed-up process, the previous bumps were completely gone. In the sun, the shadow of the helicopter is reflected in the farmland and highway below. At this time, Yu Yi and Xie Xizheng communicated briefly through the headset and operated in an orderly manner. Eight minutes later, the plane landed smoothly on the tarmac just now. As soon as he left the plane, Yiyi praised his students. "Unlike boys, girls have a very thin heart, and their actions are gentle.

High demand for helicopter pilots

It is understood that, as the first women helicopter pilots in the national civil aviation system orientation training, Ma Yang and Xie Xiyi will go to Anhui Tongcheng General Airlines to provide services after graduation, mainly engaged in transportation services in tourism services. After the hovering training, the two helicopter pilots will conduct flight training on the take-off and landing route, and strive to obtain a commercial flight driving license as soon as possible. "Because the demand for helicopter pilots is not high, we only recruit a small number of helicopter students at present, and female pilots are few in number. However, helicopters have strong practicality in urban rescue, air traffic support and aerial photography. Take for example For the Wenchuan earthquake relief, the earliest survey aircraft we sent back brought a lot of information on the geographical location of the disaster area, which facilitated the subsequent rescue work. With the development of the domestic general aviation industry, I believe that in 5-10 years Later, the demand for helicopter pilots will increase exponentially, "said Shi Dagui, deputy secretary of the party committee of the Xinjin Branch.
