One day of general aviation
Caller ID or general aviation - a very vast topic to try to illuminate it in one post. Therefore, we will touch on it a little bit, thus the corner, for example, one day a private pilot Andrew, who is the director of the Interregional public organization of pilots and citizens of aircraft owners (AOPA-Russia) and strongly promotes private aviation. For example, this summer he is on his "Cessna-150" flew south to the sea.
We are all accustomed to travel by car, by train or fly by regular airlines with food and stewardesses. And we have a private plane is seen as a large and expensive gimmick. And to fly through our vast country - even beyond understanding. Where to go, where to sit and how to arrange a flight? Questions arise car and small truck ...

1. Andrew and his Cessna-150 "Zipper".
2. For aircraft, of course, care is needed more carefully than in the machine.
3. For example, test fuel to water and the precipitate was needed at each radius after prolonged storage.
4. Andrew bought a Cessna in the United States in non-flying condition. She has more than 40 years. For reference: a time for the aircraft with proper care - very normal. Next, for example, based Beechcraft, which as much as 50 years.
5. Zipper was rebuilt on its own, and now Andrew not only flies but also teaches a group of students.
6. And now he is engaged in restoration to flight personnel status of IL-14 at the Tushino airfield.
7. Price b / y plane is approximately equal to the price of a good foreign cars (30 000 $). However, maintenance costs also should not be forgotten. But in general, it does not need to be an oligarch to own their own airplane. By the way, the plane dressed in the usual 92-m gasoline. Two tank of 50 liters. Consumption - 22 liters.
8. When preparing squeezing into the cockpit of the aircraft. Ye gods, what is it close! But surprisingly comfortable.
9. At the airport in Konakovo, which is based "Zipper" stripe - 400 meters. This former playground selhozaviatsii, which are scattered around the country tens, if not hundreds. Most of them are now abandoned, but some are adapted for ANI. 400 meters just missing Cessna to take off. Takeoff - and we are already in the air. First, we collect height of the clouds, to check and clarify for RP (head of operations), the bottom edge. At an altitude of 350 meters we meet the first flakes. We report RP and in 200 meters. Then Andrew said to me: take control, Fly. Well, I took it and flew. A feeling of unusual, I tell you. A Cessna pilot was very easy. Did I say my "raid" in the simulator. So all one and a half hours there and back, I was leading. Only when the still flew into the cloud, and it was necessary to fly on instruments, Andrew took my wheel.
10. Meanwhile, we flew to the work place - airfield Kudinovo. Joint exercises of Liza Alert AOPa and were aimed at testing of joint actions of staff, ground crews and air support to search for missing people and cars.
11. To find the square was asked where we had to find 4 body. And one of them - in bright clothes. Alas, not found. Square small plane passes it at high speed, and in the forest (even without the leaves) can not see anything. In the search for easy, but our customers we were not there. Then, already on the ground, we discussed the situation: if you get lost and found in the forest - how and what will you do? You are cold, hungry, you're tired. You will come to an open meadow and lie on the ground, arms / legs cross? No, of course, all the polls said they would try to hide, to find a hole and bury it in the cold.
12. But, nevertheless, we received invaluable experience of interaction between crew and staff. And some find missing people and cars.
13. Lisa Alert - volunteer detachment engaged in the search for missing people or get lost. The main priority is given to the search for the children. Search operations are conducted in the Moscow region and in nearby areas. The idea of creating a unit to search for missing children came in the autumn of 2010, after searching for little Sasha, lost in a forest near the blackcap, and 4-year-old Lisa Fomkina, which together with the aunt got lost in the woods near Orekhovo-. The prototype unit was the name of the international system of alert Amber Alert.
14. teachings flew several private planes and two helicopters. This is in addition to about a hundred search engines, SUVs and handlers.
15. ultralight trike! Here truly heroes. In such a cold to fly on this stool.
16. The passenger is equipped with a thermal imager - with its help will be looking for the missing group. Passing a kind soul with a door from the R44 advised to attach it to the ultralight trike - will be warmer.
17. Kudinovo - such as the former playground selhozaviatsii. The band then extended to 800 meters, for light aircraft more than comfortable.
18. The unique device - Tecnam P2006T, in the embodiment of MMA - Multi Mission Aircraft. This aircraft is equipped with a specialized optical-thermal imaging complex. This tri-band gyro-stabilized unit:
1. HD camera with a zoom incredible. Could easily see the car number with a couple of kilometers.
2. SPOT-camera, equipped with high-sensitivity sensor and an even greater zoom. It can see in almost total darkness.
3. A thermal imaging camera with a zoom lens.
19. All this economy controlled by the operator. The picture in real time is translated to the ground. Distance transmission - up to 150 kilometers.
20. During its existence squad Liza Alert able to find more than a dozen people.
21. On 18 November (and teachings were 12th) in the Tver region private helicopter disappeared R44. Volunteers squad have found the crash site after the Ministry of Emergency Situations and the Federal Air Transport Agency stopped looking. The pilot, alas, died in the crash.
22. At the airport village "Teshka" (Yak-18T), owned by the MOE.
23. Because of the search crew returned ultralight trike. He says that it is cold.
24. Andrew meanwhile runs "Zipper" on the way back. Residual fuel, we would be quite enough to fly, but in this case the stock does not pull his pocket. You never know.
25. In the Russian Federation to the general aviation civil aviation is not used for commercial air transport and aerial work performance.
26. On 1 November 2010 entered into force new federal rules of using airspace of Russia. The main thing in them - the simple principle of operation of aircraft small aircraft, belonging usually to private owners. "And yet there is a class« G ». Then it introduced a fundamentally new procedure for the use of air space - notification. That is, without the need for prior authorization manager. "
27. Yes, flying has become easier, and the sky became available.
28. Aerodrome in Klin.
29. On the way to the head of Konakovo flights (RP) for us through. He asked whether we PPD heating and carburetor. We answer, yes, all inclusive.
30. Maneuvering between charges, Andrew takes the plane on final approach.
31. All the mission is over!
32. Private planes at the airport. I'd like to hope that such a picture for this country will eventually become more familiar.
