点评:It has been nearly thirty years since I last took control of an aeroplane, back in the day when I held a PPL. Thanks to the generosity of my sister-in-law who gifted me this flight, I was eager to see how I would cope in the left hand seat of a modern commercial jet. Having elected to experience the full start up procedure, Matt, my instructor, patiently and professionally, led me through the various systems and checks in preparation for flight. We flew approaches into Bristol followed by some ropey landings on my part - I'd like to think some were survivable! The 737 is a big, heavy aircraft: it can feel slow to respond, though in reality things happen quickly and can easily catch the unwary student out. Time literally flew by and there was just enough time to complete a couple of night approaches into Manchester. Back on the 'ground' I felt like I'd had a thorough mental and physical workout! Matt appeared pleased with my efforts, rewarding me a "perfect" for one of my landings. Was he being honest or just kind? I'll have to watch the video to find out!
This simulator experience is great fun and a valuable insight into the world of commercial aviation. Thanks to Rob and the team at SimAir for putting together the complete package. I hope to fly with you again sometime.
翻译:距离我上次驾驶飞机已经快三十年了,那还是我持有私人飞行员执照(PPL)的时候。感谢我的嫂子慷慨地赠送我这次飞行体验,我迫不及待地想看看自己能否驾驭现代商用喷气式飞机的左座。我选择了完整的启动程序,我的教官马特耐心而专业地指导我完成了各种系统和检查,为飞行做好准备。我们先进行了布里斯托尔机场的进近飞行,然后我又尝试了几次不太成功的着陆——我想其中一些应该算是侥幸成功吧!737 是一架体型庞大、重量沉重的飞机:它的反应速度可能感觉有点慢,但实际上情况瞬息万变,很容易让粗心的学员措手不及。时间飞逝,我们刚好完成了几次曼彻斯特机场的夜间进近。回到地面后,我感觉自己经历了一次彻底的身心锻炼!马特似乎对我的表现很满意,还给我的一次着陆打了“完美”。他是真心实意还是只是客气呢?我得看看视频才能知道!
这次模拟飞行体验非常棒,也让我对商业航空领域有了更深入的了解。感谢 Rob 和 SimAir 团队精心打造了这套完整的体验方案。希望以后有机会能再次和你们一起飞行。
