The relative shortage of good flyingdays means it will probably take a year.The solution appeared in the shape of European Fliers, a British flying school at Blackbushe, which also has schools inFrance.A British private pilot’s licence requires a minimum of 40 hours in the year, though most people do slightly more. Butthe first obstacle to be negotiated is the Civil Aviation Authority’s medical, designed to weed out those with potentiallytricky complaints such as heart conditions, serious asthma or inner-ear problems.The aircraft I was to fly was a two-seater Cessna 152, a type bounced down countless runways by countless studentsall over the world and, I was assured, virtually indestructible, though it looked as if it had been made by my son out ofcardboard.After half a dozen hour-long lessons at Blackbushe, with instructor Ken Coke at my side, I had a grasp of take off andthe main manoeuvres. The basic business of keeping an aircraft in the air and pointing in roughly the right directions isrelatively simple. Landing is a little trickier. At my first attempt, we hit the runaway with such force that a filling fell outof my tooth. Finally we got it down to a sort of bumbling controlled crash, which seemed to satisfy Ken and left meglowing with pride.The next challenge was the radio. The sky round London belongs to a score or more of air traffic controllers and thepilot has to make contact with each one as he passes through their airspace. All seem to have speech defects. Me:‘Foxborough Radar, this is G-BIJW.’ Answer: ‘G-BIJW – snaffle snoozerate goobletack ogglebucket…’ Me: FoxboroughRadar, please say again…’After 10 hours in the air spread over a couple of months, I was ready to head for France. I had also scraped throughfive written exams ranging from Aviation Law to Meteorology.Most students tend to work through the manuals on their own. They are not particularly intellectually demandingbut there are certainly a lot of them – some 1,500 pages in all. Each exam consists of about 20 questions with multiple-choice answers.On my first morning in France, I set off with my new instructor, Barry Maidment. The first thing that strikes anyBritish pilot is the sheer space of the place. In southern France you can fly for an hour without running into a traffic-control zone – or another aircraft. The flying conditions are near perfect.After our first flight, Barry climbed out and casually turned to me, ‘Want to take her up on your own?’ I had expectedto be a little apprehensive, to say the least, but the south of France had already begun to work its magic. I found I wasrelaxed and confident. As the little aircraft lifted into the warm air, I felt nothing but elation. I landed with a silly grin onmy face, I could fly.Still before me were three practical flying tests, each lasting an hour and a half. Strangely, none was as bad as I hadfeared. Flying examiners are a surprisingly understanding breed and go out of their way to make you feel relaxed. Theyare also surprisingly forgiving. Now I don’t really believe you meant to do that,’ observed mine gently, following a steepturn of truly astounding incompetence. ‘Perhaps you’d like to try it again…’ Once back on the ground, the examinercongratulated me on passing. I was a pilot.1The disadvantage of learning to fly in Britain is thatABCDthe course costs a great deal of money.a pilot’s licence requires so many hours flying.the weather is not reliable.the medical test is very strict.2 The plane the writer flewABCDwas very old.was of a very common type.appeared to have been damaged.looked smaller than he expected.23 How did he get on during his first six lessons?ABCDHe found all the basic techniques easy to master.He couldn’t manage to land the plane safely.He did a small amount of damage to the plane.He made satisfactory progress.4 What problem did he have with the traffic controllers?ABCDHe couldn’t make out what they were saying.He couldn’t understand the technical terms.He didn’t understand how to address them.He had trouble contacting them.5 The main difficulty with the written exams was thatABCDthere were so many subjects.He found the technical details difficult to understand.he didn’t receive any help with studying for them.there was so much reading to do.6 How did he react to his first flight?ABCDHe was terribly nervous at the beginning.He thoroughly enjoyed the experience.He was concentrating too hard to feel anything.He treated it rather like a joke.7 How did he get on in his practical exams?ABCDHe passed despite difficult flying conditions.He passed despite a very minor error.He had to repeat one part of the test.He had to take the test again later.Adapted from: Sue O’Connel: Focus on First Certificate, 1996C Read the text below and for each gap (1-12) choose the correct phrase (A,B, C or D).
