今天,我要真正坐進駕駛艙,親手操控飛機。71Please respect copyright.PENANAuhjmOBGr2l
71Please respect copyright.PENANAaSvVTBnSII
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。」71Please respect copyright.PENANA3ddZKsulUz
71Please respect copyright.PENANAgumV28BpNe
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。」71Please respect copyright.PENANApg7OZwBkH7
71Please respect copyright.PENANA6PJnvcPvgJ
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。71Please respect copyright.PENANAlzODnd04h0
71Please respect copyright.PENANAXjlL51R11g
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。71Please respect copyright.PENANAUMoRyhxhxH
71Please respect copyright.PENANAi1Y65XZhMt
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。71Please respect copyright.PENANAROi7HDhwgN
71Please respect copyright.PENANAWqsLdfSIiz
「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。71Please respect copyright.PENANAUYSlaRCNf6
71Please respect copyright.PENANAtfOAmnleyg
我低頭看著這些裝備,內心湧起一種難以形容的情感。71Please respect copyright.PENANAICydHIzSmX
71Please respect copyright.PENANAUPJHBvJIiO
「準備好你的第一次飛行了嗎?」Leo 笑著問。71Please respect copyright.PENANA7pJpPAIAIy
71Please respect copyright.PENANAXlHdeffTRF
我抬起頭,緊握著手中的 Logbook,點了點頭:「準備好了。」71Please respect copyright.PENANAB1WhUzTyBg
71Please respect copyright.PENANA8ktzLON9as
71Please respect copyright.PENANAYHkaj8GBA0
Leo 卻笑了笑,搖搖頭:「你還沒準備好。」71Please respect copyright.PENANAbzXRPLdrnJ
71Please respect copyright.PENANACSoTHReJu1
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。」71Please respect copyright.PENANAtYPZUW34Zp
71Please respect copyright.PENANAlDwF0G5IA0
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。」71Please respect copyright.PENANA2mJQa1JDB3
I'M SAFE Checklist:71Please respect copyright.PENANApQXDWSwdOb
I – Illness(生病):你今天身體狀況如何?有沒有任何不舒服?71Please respect copyright.PENANAdZFHAGElGc

71Please respect copyright.PENANAfqWTBETE7I
我笑了笑,拍了拍肚子:「放心,我一早已經吃過了。」71Please respect copyright.PENANAqHLeIBVlyd
71Please respect copyright.PENANAcxmcwuMFxs
Leo 聽後點點頭:「很好,然後就是飛機。」71Please respect copyright.PENANAsya3Ute2wU
71Please respect copyright.PENANANG8Oxp4Ppz

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。」71Please respect copyright.PENANASkXW7P2PEH
71Please respect copyright.PENANAp5jifEY32I
我點點頭:「明白。」71Please respect copyright.PENANAj9cnhjSFt6
71Please respect copyright.PENANAnxb06dHKZh
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。」71Please respect copyright.PENANArqIi5OUHmz
71Please respect copyright.PENANAmhFwT4kScq
我握住扶手,緩緩坐進駕駛座。71Please respect copyright.PENANAOoPbJwBSrI
71Please respect copyright.PENANAR0BjAr4ozZ
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。71Please respect copyright.PENANAKkEvoIaSWN
71Please respect copyright.PENANAOxLTPfFNZz
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。」71Please respect copyright.PENANADyYLUrhytp
71Please respect copyright.PENANATky3nDGbRe
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。71Please respect copyright.PENANAG2AiMDTn0S
71Please respect copyright.PENANAI5RNStH36M
「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。」71Please respect copyright.PENANAvj1sVC9xKE
71Please respect copyright.PENANAgqpRkvaSDJ
「首先,打開 Master Battery 和 Alternator。」71Please respect copyright.PENANAFm0DHVdNBR
71Please respect copyright.PENANAHsr0DVmcop
「接下來,打開 Fuel Pump 和 Magneto,確保燃油點火系統正常。」71Please respect copyright.PENANAa67r9MPcMP
71Please respect copyright.PENANA2OgX0VKdqI
「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。」71Please respect copyright.PENANAL6MecvELg7
71Please respect copyright.PENANA9sqAAyiG3f
「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。」71Please respect copyright.PENANAMOSDjrPLUL
71Please respect copyright.PENANAHClVifCzTF
我深吸一口氣,按下 Start,下一秒——71Please respect copyright.PENANAycJLNHIPrB
71Please respect copyright.PENANArO0de5ZakZ
「嘭——」71Please respect copyright.PENANA5SUpLAhq2p
71Please respect copyright.PENANA4Y3HhSNSG2
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。71Please respect copyright.PENANAwbXqUe3Vnb
71Please respect copyright.PENANApWMbgpznp2
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。」71Please respect copyright.PENANAcAVjMxYxTY
71Please respect copyright.PENANAK4Q6voIqKV
我跟著 Leo 的指示,讓飛機緩緩滑行到指定區域。71Please respect copyright.PENANAgS1WdC4b8k
71Please respect copyright.PENANADtVlwKBlTr
71Please respect copyright.PENANASGfWB0Xchh
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。71Please respect copyright.PENANAuu3ntiLQ1B
71Please respect copyright.PENANAd9luuzT31y
到達 Runup Area 後,Leo 示意我停下飛機,然後開始進行 Runup Checks。71Please respect copyright.PENANAoOPmUfWER8
71Please respect copyright.PENANACDYezcfWNA
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。71Please respect copyright.PENANANNrsQ0Q6De
71Please respect copyright.PENANADoSatKbURK
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。71Please respect copyright.PENANA9yPj6gWOKz
71Please respect copyright.PENANAdM7CmFiYei
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.」71Please respect copyright.PENANAHxWLPnisnG
71Please respect copyright.PENANAXXwUyNtOLa
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.」71Please respect copyright.PENANApJIgj3sOi0
71Please respect copyright.PENANApSehw0bBMS
Leo 看了我一眼,嘴角帶著笑意:「你來回覆吧。」71Please respect copyright.PENANA1L0h0D0GGV
71Please respect copyright.PENANATiTas2TJcJ
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?」71Please respect copyright.PENANAr5vI1qjM6B
71Please respect copyright.PENANAMJNmSvWsUN
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.」71Please respect copyright.PENANAsEpyChM8Uk
71Please respect copyright.PENANAtytDDkBWmJ
塔台確認:「EBF, read back correct.」71Please respect copyright.PENANAGkmOLhZe6S
71Please respect copyright.PENANAHmDiHS1RLw
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。」71Please respect copyright.PENANAKm1KdUtu6Z
71Please respect copyright.PENANAiBeYUWA1S5
我苦笑:「這比開飛機還難。」71Please respect copyright.PENANA129WjLeZsE
71Please respect copyright.PENANAtKcqSDeV1b
「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。」71Please respect copyright.PENANA21iysSA1rn
71Please respect copyright.PENANAwCaFjJhcEs
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。71Please respect copyright.PENANAUzxwxoDqj1
71Please respect copyright.PENANAaozimNJa8x
無線電傳來塔台的聲音:「EBF, Wind 270/12kt, right turn after departure, Seal 22 cleared for takeoff.」71Please respect copyright.PENANA2Gv17NJqOq
71Please respect copyright.PENANAv3mC82d5zm
Leo 轉頭看我,微微一笑:「好了,這就是起飛的時刻。」71Please respect copyright.PENANA4IFARdy5MC
71Please respect copyright.PENANAjTGC1lFKTM
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。71Please respect copyright.PENANAMrN3gtw1RQ
71Please respect copyright.PENANAyXPAVPRTY4
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。71Please respect copyright.PENANAQJztKkYj0R
71Please respect copyright.PENANAJxg6AhWoSO
我盯著外面,Leo 的聲音冷靜而穩定:「Airspeed alive,More right rudder,55 knots,back pressure。」71Please respect copyright.PENANA1VATXAlXZz
71Please respect copyright.PENANAKWzsEZ1HkO
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。71Please respect copyright.PENANAofAUE9yjxx
71Please respect copyright.PENANAUiwvQaIgFv
這一刻,我真的飛起來了。71Please respect copyright.PENANAYVrA0Zx8SX
71Please respect copyright.PENANAcPAyC6AMyH
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。71Please respect copyright.PENANAjAcuteO1y0
71Please respect copyright.PENANAge4bbOTKv0
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。71Please respect copyright.PENANATVUOvziZiZ
71Please respect copyright.PENANAruMLu4YVXB
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。71Please respect copyright.PENANAYRAuIEHvH5
71Please respect copyright.PENANAM5yY0YV3gE
耳機裡傳來 Leo 的聲音:「Welcome to the sky.」71Please respect copyright.PENANAnitBi0kRuE
71Please respect copyright.PENANAVLEqxQeeWd
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。71Please respect copyright.PENANAiJQbqnU8Ya
71Please respect copyright.PENANA1iAr2M8K4O
今天,是我人生中感覺最活著的一天。
