今天，我要真正坐進駕駛艙，親手操控飛機。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5U0egw8dq
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjB7l2ia5Rn
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。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWP3sPVZoW
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pTol1YhcG
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。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3BbBt2SlN
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4itaALBXqv
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。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQQcesqudv
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzbv7ew0M3
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。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlWTg32h5c
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjaJPWYsQo
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。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhRYcTAkyN
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvjo8roWh2
「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。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodlonwAhVw
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA16hkHZnl8
我低頭看著這些裝備，內心湧起一種難以形容的情感。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhuNGeFyQx
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDnCzjc4uR
「準備好你的第一次飛行了嗎？」Leo 笑著問。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCbnEC4FAE
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQJZzGA4qz
我抬起頭，緊握著手中的 Logbook，點了點頭：「準備好了。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1SXrCF5h3
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygIFqYns9u
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjxi08hiM9
Leo 卻笑了笑，搖搖頭：「你還沒準備好。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoBL8vZvSw
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ojesg2nYc
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。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEiaIeFSUc
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkUD6uBDT0
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。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbHxOwPqYW
I'M SAFE Checklist：51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQUhJQ6rjZ
I – Illness（生病）：你今天身體狀況如何？有沒有任何不舒服？51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Q6OXBRMQE

E – Eating（飲食）：今天吃過東西嗎？空著肚子飛，血糖低會讓人反應變慢，甚至在飛行中感到頭暈或無力。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3f44LGZYKb
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTCUgB8VQk
我笑了笑，拍了拍肚子：「放心，我一早已經吃過了。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfre1pALzI
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XOi4oxilH
Leo 聽後點點頭：「很好，然後就是飛機。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbq3yqZ1BH1
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmzGABBBp2
「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。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBG5Q2WyQRD

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。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNk5TsEis6
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dxUcawDgz
我點點頭：「明白。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kg4GQ2MHp
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKy6VFbSYIH
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。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilgIYYGfQn
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOW6IzQ5O8Q
我握住扶手，緩緩坐進駕駛座。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYx4dExEn5
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPZ6wwiP9X
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。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aU4NG52sq
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJJzuEwtns
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。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJawpiWjvj
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrv6DWr1vzR
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。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThjMycVqNR
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKjoILV00P
「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。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYGhxyxZN7
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7n4N5rml6
「首先，打開 Master Battery 和 Alternator。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0aW8Hdhhi
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmIB540nUk
「接下來，打開 Fuel Pump 和 Magneto，確保燃油點火系統正常。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnPetIi0EG
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEC9H27boB
「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。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoxXmWSIA3
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmiBkBrhVl
「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。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFnWRRa5U6
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqxHm95sxb
我深吸一口氣，按下 Start，下一秒——51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxFalSLUTR
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3GBUG4nh6
「嘭——」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERkjQJbI3S
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtF7JukX8h
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。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCr7KkmLkwK
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmWl92iWwa
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。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgipdjNk4n
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPCByPXrvi
我跟著 Leo 的指示，讓飛機緩緩滑行到指定區域。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5boIn0gUr
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSspMxqMwQb
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJdQbGxdtI
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。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRua22r3fU1
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qqO9mRnJa
到達 Runup Area 後，Leo 示意我停下飛機，然後開始進行 Runup Checks。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRCr91OnMp
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9vPj3X2D7
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。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpfNyp5g5P
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAvSsi1w1n
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。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04HtogeEbB
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8ydx3HHaR
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.」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OV5n33RmA
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVqEnR7KKF
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.」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoORGgkh2wg
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVzpS6ey7U
Leo 看了我一眼，嘴角帶著笑意：「你來回覆吧。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZCtAeDR9h
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdye2ERzVzY
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？」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYw2h5C8Gaz
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxCzuZosVj
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.」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4sIDzbHEH
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgcn0IFfr0
塔台確認：「EBF, read back correct.」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Sb4BP2CYt
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jOrlBRGKm
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。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl64uerI6ZU
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wp9OMN6ZW
我苦笑：「這比開飛機還難。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQq2RaeOasZ
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWs5NVCul4
「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。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZnwOJlcJ8
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSYyrOpmHm
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。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡissCrjnpld
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdgzDspIpy
無線電傳來塔台的聲音：「EBF, Wind 270/12kt, right turn after departure, Seal 22 cleared for takeoff.」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfzyrqYjEI
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjd4mo7BYyg
Leo 轉頭看我，微微一笑：「好了，這就是起飛的時刻。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmCvR3hlv8
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOfaFtISH5
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。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqku5LEJYo
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBl3TWmWELa
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。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZm0czZklma
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GRZtONsQF
我盯著外面，Leo 的聲音冷靜而穩定：「Airspeed alive，More right rudder，55 knots，back pressure。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzCFPuJSgy
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tfcgzCDeJ
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。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDnvzh6LOk
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKQsIQB75h
這一刻，我真的飛起來了。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBarDobQ8qS
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdQxJZFTxf
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。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EvniIjVJe
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVfCXdKSjV
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。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4Gbq6hW1v
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheYxwLA9jP
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。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirlj14jQzx
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5tgNlGM19
耳機裡傳來 Leo 的聲音：「Welcome to the sky.」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJ2rbOaf18
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvByUAfc6D
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。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUN8TN8lys
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9DOFKURLJ
今天，是我人生中感覺最活著的一天。
