Chapter 262 The Threshold of Double Flight
It was almost a little while back to the inn at noon. After a meal, Tsering Doji couldn't wait to take his oversized bag to the location chosen by Liu Mo'ang.
"The weather today looks pretty good and the wind is not heavy, but I have to fly first to experience the situation in the air." Tsering Doji said, "Parasailing is a movement with certain extreme sports factors. Sometimes I watch nothing happening below, but once I fly up and get into the air, I might encounter such situations."
Tsering Doji continued while unfolding his equipment: "Mr. Liu, your venue looks pretty good, especially for primary training or sightseeing flights. The venue is open enough, there is no high-voltage line, and the slope is very suitable. However, for advanced or even competition levels, this venue is slightly worse."
"Haha, Captain Tsering, I didn't think about running advanced or competitive paragliding from here. I just wanted to do paragliding tourism. If possible, I didn't even want tourists to fly by themselves."
"You mean to only take a double paragliding flight?"
"Well, if I can, I'd like to do that."
The so-called double paragliding flight means that a professional paragliding instructor takes tourists to fly together. Tourists do not need to master paragliding flying skills, nor do they need other requirements. As long as tourists are not afraid of heights and are not afraid of flying, everything is carried by paragliding instructors.
Although this will make tourists lack the pleasure of driving paragliding by themselves, the advantage lies in safety.
After all, paragliding coaches are all professional-level. Even if they fly alone, their safety is much higher than that of tourists themselves.
When it comes to tourism, safety is the first priority. Liu Mo'ang doesn't want any tourist casualties on his territory. If that happens, this project would rather not be available.
Tsering Doji smiled and said, "Your idea is correct. However, if conditions permit, you can go to the lowest level of flight training flight, which is the so-called A-level ground-grabbing and gliding event. In this way, if some tourists with a gliding race flight foundation can drive an parachute to glid and gliding for the ground-grabbing and gliding, there will be basically no danger."
Currently, paragliding can be divided into three major levels, namely, first, middle and high levels. If subdivided, it can be divided into five levels, namely training level, intermediate level, sports level, performance level and competition level.
In our country, the primary level can be divided into two small levels: A and B. A is the lowest level, which refers to gliding and flying in the ground; B is slightly more difficult, which refers to altitude gliding and flying.
Class A generally refers to being able to accelerate smoothly and leave the ground, with appropriate airspeed and good direction control; it can take advantage of the speed to slide and there is no tendency to slow flight or stall; it can keep the route correct during flight and change direction at a small angle; finally it can land smoothly.
As for level B, it is much more difficult. Liu Mo'ang never thought about doing level B gliding.
It is enough to have A-level. It also has to be said that you can only play A-level with relevant assessment certificates. If you are an ordinary tourist, you will honestly let the coach take you around.
This is what Liu Mo'ang thought.
While speaking, Tsering Doji opened his set of equipment. The three major items of paragliding sports are umbrella heads, seat bags and sub-umbrellas. In addition, equipment such as helmets, walkie-talkies, guide balls, GPS, flight suits, flight boots, windproof and dazzling glasses, flight platforms, etc. are all set.
After all, they are professional competition-level players and have participated in the Asian Games. Of course, these things are complete.
"Haha, I'll spend less than 100,000 yuan on all my stuff. If I had primary equipment, I could buy it in less than 20,000 yuan." Tseren Doji said while wearing the equipment.
"Damn, that's so expensive?"
"Is this expensive? The equipment of our paragliders is cheap, and the equipment of some foreign glider athletes is also expensive. In addition, think about racing athletes, a set of equipment is millions of dollars, what is our equipment?"
Liu Mo'ang rolled his eyes and said to himself: "Why don't you compare with F1 racing? A team of F1 sports can burn hundreds of millions of dollars a year..."
Tsering Doji wears equipment very quickly. After all, he is a professional athlete and is ready in a short while.
After feeling the wind direction, he smiled and said, "The wind direction here is more suitable for taking off. After all, you are on a sunny slope and the upward air flow is very strong. Okay, I'll go to the sky and take a look first."
As he said that, Tsering Doji pulled up the parachute rope and took off successfully after running a few steps on the ground. Moreover, his posture of controlling the parachute was very good. After leaving the ground, he did not fly down, but quickly began to fly upwards!
Obviously, this professional thing is different, and people have a very good control over airflow.
Tsering Doji rose very quickly, and not long after, he left the ground for at least fifty meters. Then he began to hover in the air.
But he had just hovered for a few times and screamed: "Damn, where did this golden eagle come from? Damn, why is it circling around me?"
Old Liu was happy. Jiaozi obviously didn't know what this big guy who could fly was doing, but since this big guy dared to invade its territory, Jiaozi was trying to drive away the big guy.
The sudden appearance of dumplings scared Tseren Doji. Liu Mo'ang whistled quickly, and then dumplings left the paraglider and flew down.
Old Liu was afraid that the dumplings would appear on a whim and directly grabbed the umbrella wings...
Seeing Tsering Doji fly farther and still controlling the paraglider up and down in the air, he is obviously feeling the airflow in the air. When Tsering Doji is about to start descent, Liu Mo'ang released the dumplings and drove down to pick Tsering Doji up.
When Tsering Dorje was soaring in the air, he also attracted a group of tourists to stop and watch. After all, it is really rare to see people who "play" paragliding here.
When Liu Mo'ang drove to Tsering Dorji, he had basically put away his equipment.
The two got in the car and returned to the inn. Tsering Doji then said, "Mr. Liu, your venue is in a good condition, especially suitable for beginners training or double-person flights. But to be honest, it seems that you are not suitable for mid-to-high-level paragliding here."
"Air flow and strong wind?" Liu Mo'ang asked.
Tsering Doji nodded, "Yes, although the venue here is very good, the Nianqing Tanggula Peak is behind here. The upward airflow on the sunny slope is very strong, but the airflow is also very chaotic, especially for more than fifty meters. This situation is even more serious. I almost didn't control the umbrella several times just now, which is definitely a very dangerous thing for ordinary people."
Liu Mo'ang nodded silently. No wonder so many paragliding coaches said that this place was not possible, it was true.
"Is it really impossible for us to carry out paragliding tourism projects here?"
"Well, this project is not impossible." Tsering Doji's words made Liu Mo'ang feel excited. "But it is best not to carry out paragliding projects at level A or above, and even A must limit the height from the ground. And once the wind is greater than level four, don't take off."
"You mean to only carry out A-level gliding flights?"
"Well, my meaning is the same as Mr. Liu, you thought before. If you are running ground-grabbing flights here when the summer monsoon is low, it is still not a big problem. It is better if there are professional paragliders to take flights. But it depends on whether you can attract professional paragliders."
Liu Mo'ang helped Tsering Doji collect the umbrella. Tsering Doji continued: "The instructor of two-person flight must have a pilot certificate of C or above issued by the National Airline Association. People cannot take people to fly below C. Moreover, having a C-class certificate is not enough. Pilots must also participate in the training of the paragliding double parachute pilot assessment class organized by the National Airline Association and pass the assessment before they can be issued a special two-person flight certificate. In other words, it is actually very difficult to take the test for a two-person flight certificate."
"Captain Tsering, do you have a two-person flight certificate?"
"Haha, we are all professional athletes, we don't do two-person flights."
"Oh~~" Liu Mo'ang was a little disappointed, but he immediately asked: "Captain Ren, do you recognize the instructor or pilot with a two-person flight certificate?"
"Meet." Tsering Doji smiled brilliantly, "Why, do you want to hire such talents? I tell you that it is not enough to have qualified coaches or pilots. You must have at least two or more pilots. But pilots with double-person flight certificates start at least 150,000 yuan. You can work at most four months a year, maybe not even four months. Are you sure you will spend 300,000 or 400,000 to hire two double-person flight pilots who can only fly for four months?"
Liu Mo'ang was a little confused when asked. He knew that paragliding was a tourism project that had only emerged in recent years and was very popular among tourists, but he did not expect that there were so many things in it.
If we follow Tsering Doji's statement, we need at least two pilots with double-person flight certificates. Moreover, the plateau is not as good as the plains. The annual salary of the plains is 150,000 yuan per year, and at least double it when we reach the top. Two is 600,000 yuan, and we can only work for four months a year, which is equivalent to a monthly salary of 100,000 yuan...
Of course it's not cost-effective.
Seeing Liu Mo'ang a little confused, Tsering Doji smiled and said, "Mr. Liu, in fact, pilots who specialize in two-person flights are always wandering, and few people will stay in a special venue. Taking people to fly is mainly about the share of the money. How much tourists you take a day, you will make as much money. Now, taking a person can be about 300 to 400, and the share of the money is different from each place. If a pilot can take ten people to fly a day, he can earn at least 3,000. Do you understand?"
Liu Mo'ang suddenly realized, "Captain Tsering, is it true that if my share is high and there are many tourists, it will attract good coaches to take people to fly?"
