Mikhail Yatsenko Biography
How I got to that amazing and amazing the story of my hit in the circle of chosen lucky ones, those who had a chance to fly on the airplane TUK, P, B, P, in our terminology “Old Tu”, neither in the school, nor then, having become an officer and flying NATU, first, and then the commander of the ship, I did not have the desire to sit down for the helm, “Old Tu”. Like all the young commanders of the ships, I represented my future fate as follows: TU-a passing plane, I am gaining experience on it, get the 1st grade and-for TUKM, just “km” in everyday life.
It turned out almost that way. Today, an order for the assignment of the 1st grade comes to him today, and tomorrow an order was already issued to transfer to a km, at that time, of course, with a move to another garrison. So it would be with me, if not for a number of not the best events that led to the happy ending of my story. So, I am in the Bolbass garrison Orsha, a young ship commander, a senior lieutenant, a 2nd class pilot, I will pass a training program for the 1st grade.
And then a new deputy comes to our regiment after the Academy. He was a good pilot, but the worst bore. If he flies with someone as an instructor or a checker in the right seat, then the whole flight goes on his nerves. He finds fault with and without, in flight and no, but the result, as a rule, one - removal from flights. And here is a year. I leave the vacation and, as expected, they plan two control flights in a circle.
The instructor is Chuev. We arrive with the crew to the plane, inspect it, prepare jobs for flight, wait for the instructor. Gazik drives up, Chuev comes out. I command "Smirno." I report on the readiness of the aircraft and the crew for flight. Waiting for a team to occupy the crew of jobs, and I get the question: - They inspected the plane? Yes, for God! The procedure is familiar, worked out to the smallest detail, performed before each flight, without passes, does not cause any unrest.
There is an indication: - Show and tell where you look, where you pay special attention, what parameters you check. Well, how, as an experienced guide, I spend an excursion around the aircraft, telling a single excursion everything that I know about the plane as a whole and its individual details in particular. We reach the feed cannon installation. The question follows: - The area of the shelling?
I did not know the answer to this question then, and I still don’t know, because no one could answer me, nor weapons, nor a technical description. Everywhere there was the same thing: "Contour and specialized mechanisms ...". We finished a pre -expert inspection, began flights. Well, I think it will begin now. According to the stories of other pilots, the entire flight “Bu-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-booim”.
And try to get in response. Even to the words: “I understand, I fulfill” followed: - You listen to what they say to you and do as it should. I am performing the first flight. He sat down, released the strip, requesting a software: - Comrade commander, allow me to get comments? Come on the second. We taxi into the strip, take off. The whole flight instructor is not a word. Hands on the helm, pedal legs, look at the dashboard.
He landed, released the runway. To the parking lot. I am encouraging to the parking lot. Built the crew, reported. You are not bad, I have no comments on flights! Report the commander that I removed you from flights. I went to Komessk. I reported, and then I say: - Do not plan to fly more with Chuev, I will not fly with him. The next day in the morning I took the test sheet, went to take the tests for admission to flights.
Went around all specialists and bosses inscribed there. I received in all subjects the “choir” and “ex”.
The latter is the deputy commander of the regiment for IAS. I go into the office. So, they say, and so, allow me to pass the test on aircraft. One question, the other, the third. Takes a test. He watches the assessments of other inspectors, puts “Ex”, signs and asks: “What, to the 1st grade?” Lieutenant Colonel Chuev removed.
