今天,我要真正坐進駕駛艙,親手操控飛機。72Please respect copyright.PENANAzCh1Jtzh4c
72Please respect copyright.PENANARaxZZvqZs2
一早來到學校,Leo 已經站在門口等我。他看到我,笑了笑:「早晨,我接下來要給你一些飛行裝備。」72Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2xy9yEJiD
72Please respect copyright.PENANAhn4KKsSLdk
他轉身進入辦公室,拿出幾樣東西遞給我:「這是你的耳機、Kneeboard,還有你的 Pilot Logbook。」72Please respect copyright.PENANAydgDBRmyD6
72Please respect copyright.PENANAUqlIaYoE7z
耳機比我想像中更重,厚實的耳罩設計用來隔絕發動機的噪音,還帶有麥克風,方便在飛行中與塔台和教官通話。72Please respect copyright.PENANAmsPRfYeu2l
72Please respect copyright.PENANAstvxtHuHFr
Kneeboard 是一塊可以綁在大腿上的小夾板,上面可以放Flight log、航圖或飛行計劃表,讓飛行員隨時查閱重要資訊。72Please respect copyright.PENANA8v2IxmLXZT
72Please respect copyright.PENANAhfgfj4HbUl
最後,Logbook,這是每位飛行員最重要的紀錄之一,每次的飛行時數、飛行詳情都會記錄在裡面,未來的飛行都將被記錄下來,見證我的飛行旅程。72Please respect copyright.PENANAC4PbXSlI0v
72Please respect copyright.PENANAFkc2lg8pPc
「這是你的第一本 Logbook,好好保管,它將記錄你的每一次飛行經歷。」Leo 拍了拍我的肩膀,露出鼓勵的笑容。72Please respect copyright.PENANAlJkv2VVzPL
72Please respect copyright.PENANAgdatyGBsSE
我低頭看著這些裝備,內心湧起一種難以形容的情感。72Please respect copyright.PENANASswTFGMES8
72Please respect copyright.PENANA2iYIKJiyRp
「準備好你的第一次飛行了嗎?」Leo 笑著問。72Please respect copyright.PENANArBHbtd9cFg
72Please respect copyright.PENANAUt2K8tB4oj
我抬起頭,緊握著手中的 Logbook,點了點頭:「準備好了。」72Please respect copyright.PENANAWLE4IAMW6y
72Please respect copyright.PENANAe0b8dMyCAX
72Please respect copyright.PENANAyfGhFdI8Q4
Leo 卻笑了笑,搖搖頭:「你還沒準備好。」72Please respect copyright.PENANAA4GY88PRCI
72Please respect copyright.PENANAP7FjGz7qiR
我愣了一下,還沒來得及問為什麼,他便拿出一張紙遞給我:「每個機師在上飛機之前,都要做 I'M SAFE checklist。」72Please respect copyright.PENANACo4hMBomV5
72Please respect copyright.PENANAy2BcZgVQO4
我低頭看著紙上的字母,Leo解釋:「這是自我檢查表,確保自己在飛行前的身心狀態是安全的。」72Please respect copyright.PENANAJnGKZ9S3oF
I'M SAFE Checklist:72Please respect copyright.PENANAjhDNLKtosn
I – Illness(生病):你今天身體狀況如何?有沒有任何不舒服?72Please respect copyright.PENANAqk7cY3t9Hd

72Please respect copyright.PENANAYwBi8GUCag
我笑了笑,拍了拍肚子:「放心,我一早已經吃過了。」72Please respect copyright.PENANABP8gb1LTO9
72Please respect copyright.PENANAt8BHFEFcm5
Leo 聽後點點頭:「很好,然後就是飛機。」72Please respect copyright.PENANABG5yEktdlt
72Please respect copyright.PENANAD64dQBunzx
「我們在發動飛機之前要進行文件檢查,它和 I'M SAFE 一樣重要。」72Please respect copyright.PENANAPVMw2hCbP0

Leo 笑著說:「這些都是法律要求的文件,沒有它們,飛機就不能合法飛行。」72Please respect copyright.PENANAvyC6vcZmrh
72Please respect copyright.PENANAM2xnZ619XZ
我點點頭:「明白。」72Please respect copyright.PENANAawrg4YHnC8
72Please respect copyright.PENANAUnNOPY9Jvn
Leo 帶著我做了一次 Preflight,確認機身、機翼、螺旋槳、油量等一切正常後,他打開機艙門:「來吧,坐上去。」72Please respect copyright.PENANATGEl48Ehvm
72Please respect copyright.PENANAHLgTf0ffZH
我握住扶手,緩緩坐進駕駛座。72Please respect copyright.PENANAKZ1b5R3vAl
72Please respect copyright.PENANAttlgBWDlsa
機艙並不寬敞,但座椅包覆感很強,前方的儀表板上排滿了各種儀器和開關,操縱桿靜靜地立在眼前。我深吸一口氣,手掌輕輕覆在操縱桿上,這是真正屬於飛行員的位置。72Please respect copyright.PENANAPG6MvpsAzi
72Please respect copyright.PENANAX8uKffPE9T
Leo 坐在副駕駛座,鎖好安全帶:「首先要調較好座椅,直到你可以清楚望見 engine cowling。」72Please respect copyright.PENANA55AE5CkDvN
72Please respect copyright.PENANAA3K2l54Nmf
我低頭看了一下自己的位置,然後試著調整座椅,把自己稍微往前移了一點,視線變得更開闊,發動機罩就在眼前。72Please respect copyright.PENANA1c6YeoE4Ge
72Please respect copyright.PENANAExBUQuMFdl
「不錯,這個位置就剛剛好。」Leo 點點頭:「現在,我們來開啟飛機的電源。」72Please respect copyright.PENANAUoYjCBoNOb
72Please respect copyright.PENANAl5b912sFhX
「首先,打開 Master Battery 和 Alternator。」72Please respect copyright.PENANAUhKwKOd9oV
72Please respect copyright.PENANAWeB0QkBJMs
「接下來,打開 Fuel Pump 和 Magneto,確保燃油點火系統正常。」72Please respect copyright.PENANAtA1eUvVSiN
72Please respect copyright.PENANADdGG4zWsWT
「然後是 Engine Prime,這一步讓燃油進入發動機,確保點火時能順利啟動。」72Please respect copyright.PENANANYSOIt5qsN
72Please respect copyright.PENANAyRVK4ZMOBZ
「最後,準備發動引擎,手放在 Throttle上,輕輕推開一點,然後按下 Engine Start。」72Please respect copyright.PENANAyRp5N0Cmko
72Please respect copyright.PENANAM4GfgCxid9
我深吸一口氣,按下 Start,下一秒——72Please respect copyright.PENANAgGA9pOIlTD
72Please respect copyright.PENANAseAWtDUV95
「嘭——」72Please respect copyright.PENANABppgcTfWx6
72Please respect copyright.PENANAqFIlyW7tL7
螺旋槳瞬間轉動,發動機轟鳴,整架飛機微微震動起來,儀表板上的指針開始跳動。72Please respect copyright.PENANAacBlkHar9W
72Please respect copyright.PENANATJenH5izfq
Leo 露出滿意的笑容:「很好,飛機啟動成功,現在我們準備滑行到Runup area。」72Please respect copyright.PENANAOQj0rVZ0Z9
72Please respect copyright.PENANAsyPkFNewsB
我跟著 Leo 的指示,讓飛機緩緩滑行到指定區域。72Please respect copyright.PENANAFgNj0loZpY
72Please respect copyright.PENANAxpHhz8fJww
72Please respect copyright.PENANAQZ6wXGwvJk
我們首先調整無線電頻率,聆聽 ATIS,確認當前的天氣、風速和跑道使用情況。72Please respect copyright.PENANARvZtKEgkf9
72Please respect copyright.PENANAFejHbiGJjT
到達 Runup Area 後,Leo 示意我停下飛機,然後開始進行 Runup Checks。72Please respect copyright.PENANADnELCXnQ9f
72Please respect copyright.PENANANiFbuBumlo
我依照指示調整油門,看著引擎轉速表穩定在 1800rpm,Leo 迅速檢查Magnetos、油壓、油溫,Carb Heat 以及其他關鍵系統,確保飛機處於最佳狀態。72Please respect copyright.PENANAe0Xk7KDveV
72Please respect copyright.PENANAgcinfJx05Y
然後我們檢查襟翼設定、Compass DI alignment、Mixture full rich、方向舵和飛行控制面,確保所有操作正常。72Please respect copyright.PENANA6QZMuMilmy
72Please respect copyright.PENANA8XajXskMqD
最後,Leo 拿起無線電,向塔台進行 Radio Call:「Invercargill Tower, EBF , With information G, QNH 1018, Request taxi departure Thornbury Training Area, POB 2, Dual.」72Please respect copyright.PENANAokpkWKIitN
72Please respect copyright.PENANA3YfPL9tT2U
塔台很快回應,批准我們滑行至跑道:「Invercargill Tower, EBF, G confirmed. Taxi Backtrack Line up Seal 22 via A cross Grass 22. Cleared to Thornbury Training Area 4500feet or below.」72Please respect copyright.PENANAMjyy04NQD4
72Please respect copyright.PENANAnnW9j9VJhp
Leo 看了我一眼,嘴角帶著笑意:「你來回覆吧。」72Please respect copyright.PENANAWOHWaQwIfc
72Please respect copyright.PENANACpntIlO9Gb
我愣住了,完全不知道該怎麼回應。一長串的術語和指令在我腦中盤旋,我努力試圖抓住關鍵字:「Err... Clear... taxi... 22?」72Please respect copyright.PENANAUDPUw1pS9D
72Please respect copyright.PENANAVImdovuV9W
見我猶豫,Leo 笑了笑,接過無線電,語氣沉穩地 read back:「Taxi backtrack line up Seal 22 via A, cross Grass 22, cleared Thornbury Training Area 4500 feet or below. EBF.」72Please respect copyright.PENANAwnoC2LcD6D
72Please respect copyright.PENANAoqHnaE6lTY
塔台確認:「EBF, read back correct.」72Please respect copyright.PENANApypxFXwfSa
72Please respect copyright.PENANA3xxvYD7r5M
Leo 放下無線電,轉頭看著我:「沒關係,第一次聽不懂是正常的,Radio calls是一種習慣,慢慢來。」72Please respect copyright.PENANAMpZdKbOTE3
72Please respect copyright.PENANAzDCInenqVX
我苦笑:「這比開飛機還難。」72Please respect copyright.PENANAPsTeVlhpkj
72Please respect copyright.PENANA37uOLfU0TI
「哈哈,有些人確實這麼覺得。」Leo 調整油門,讓飛機開始滑行:「我們現在 taxi to runway 22,你可以嘗試用 rudder 來 taxi 飛機。」72Please respect copyright.PENANAV62DsLEI3a
72Please respect copyright.PENANAP89LCAkVzZ
我調整踏板,讓飛機沿著滑行道前進,逐漸適應這種腳下控制的感覺。不久後,我們來到 Seal 22 的起點,Leo 將飛機 line up 在跑道上,等待塔台的指示。72Please respect copyright.PENANAZ24PJSZOgx
72Please respect copyright.PENANAajl3asiZ03
無線電傳來塔台的聲音:「EBF, Wind 270/12kt, right turn after departure, Seal 22 cleared for takeoff.」72Please respect copyright.PENANAyRazcyX5JV
72Please respect copyright.PENANADgZKPLNUSv
Leo 轉頭看我,微微一笑:「好了,這就是起飛的時刻。」72Please respect copyright.PENANANUgUho24CT
72Please respect copyright.PENANAUJPrGTFtmh
我一隻手握住操縱桿,另一隻手放在油門上,緩緩將油門推到底。72Please respect copyright.PENANAyktOziwPQY
72Please respect copyright.PENANAVNpAnu0Nul
發動機的轟鳴聲瞬間變得震耳欲聾,飛機開始在跑道上加速,機頭微微抬起,風聲在機艙外呼嘯而過。72Please respect copyright.PENANAeWm6PlFyn2
72Please respect copyright.PENANA8NMAKJga5j
我盯著外面,Leo 的聲音冷靜而穩定:「Airspeed alive,More right rudder,55 knots,back pressure。」72Please respect copyright.PENANA0Gi6clT0Yz
72Please respect copyright.PENANA6riSagKasM
我輕輕向後拉動操縱桿,機頭慢慢抬起,飛機逐漸脫離地面,離開跑道。72Please respect copyright.PENANAycGltcvt5x
72Please respect copyright.PENANAATHQze5aIm
這一刻,我真的飛起來了。72Please respect copyright.PENANAXHUnsU9w9p
72Please respect copyright.PENANAcSavrFWMb8
機輪輕輕離地,我感覺身體微微一沉,像是飛機掙脫了地面的束縛,開始滑翔進入空中。跑道在視線下方迅速縮小,機翼下的機場設施與草地漸漸遠去,一切變得安靜而穩定。72Please respect copyright.PENANAYquQJCc7D2
72Please respect copyright.PENANAHbANyJlBcb
飛機持續爬升,我透過擋風玻璃望出去,天空變得開闊,視野遠比地面上來得遼闊清晰。72Please respect copyright.PENANAxnlVzsBdWh
72Please respect copyright.PENANA8LGbZi7sMa
我深吸了一口氣,心裡湧上一種難以形容的感動。這是我第一次用這樣的角度看世界,不再被地面所限制,而是從空中俯瞰。72Please respect copyright.PENANAN6RbXQhOXY
72Please respect copyright.PENANABvILo7hoLT
耳機裡傳來 Leo 的聲音:「Welcome to the sky.」72Please respect copyright.PENANAf6H1rSOiAD
72Please respect copyright.PENANAunixYC8YUh
我沒有回應,只是看著眼前的景色,靜靜地感受著飛行的自由。72Please respect copyright.PENANAGJ5x7WJ6GB
72Please respect copyright.PENANA9IBT9hTCwe
今天,是我人生中感覺最活著的一天。
