Everyone will have a certain interest in the process of growing up, and in terms of probability, most women love literature, history, etc.; Men, on the other hand, love military, technology, etc.
The next farmer was no exception, and his hobby was building airplanes.
But in the resource-poor countryside, can we build decent airplanes? Will the aircraft run smoothly during the test flight?
Because of building airplanes to become a cyber celebrity
2005 was a crucial year for farmer Tan to become an adult.
In July 2005, he successfully flew a self-built aircraft into the blue sky. For a time, the media rushed to report the news of "the first flight of farmers".
You know, this is Tan's dream since he became an adult for 8 years.
On the day of his 48th birthday, he flew the No. 3 plane to take his wife to the sky for 30 minutes, which once again caused a sensation, and the success of the test flight and the praise of the media made Tan's confidence double.
Presumably, every man has a dream of conquering the blue sky or the ocean when he is a teenager.
In 2022, a foreigner from the Czech Republic also built an airplane, but this plane is not used for profit, but for commuting.
According to the foreigner, he traveled 15 kilometers to work, and flying an airplane was much more fuel-efficient than driving a car.
In the video introducing the plane, he shows everyone the wooden plane he spent two years building.
However, when we take a closer look at the internal structure of this aircraft, we will find that there are no safety measures at all.
An aircraft manufactured through formal means often has to go through a very rigorous testing process before it can be put into use, and in the production process, hundreds of manpower is required.
In terms of composition, an aircraft usually needs millions of parts, but only this part of the fuselage requires 2.5 million parts.
Aircraft, on the other hand, are usually composed of 5 parts, namely fuselage, wing, tail, landing gear and power unit.
It is worth noting that the assembly of aircraft and the manufacture of various parts and components are not done by the same group of people, but by professional people doing professional things.
Taking the heart of the aircraft - the engine as an example, while the engine company is chasing me, General Electric is far ahead as the industry's first.
The earliest introduction of the CF6 and CFM56 series of civil aviation engines allowed General Electric to establish itself as the big brother of the aircraft engine manufacturing industry.
Compared with the two, Tan's adult self-made plane has great hidden dangers, but at this time, he has been completely immersed in the joy of soaring in the blue sky.
Tourists who come to see him will also take out their mobile phones to take photos with this peasant big brother, which also satisfies his vanity to a certain extent.
Not only that, the income of 200 yuan after another makes the family's economic situation optimistic day by day, and the family's hobbies for Tan's adulthood are no longer as resistant as before.
A phone call
Seeing that life is getting better and better, Tan is very relieved that his dream for many years has finally come true, and he also has the ability to let his wife and children live a better life.
However, life is not always satisfactory. When Tan was having a smooth ride as an adult, a phone call broke Tan's adult life.
"Hello, is it Mr. Tan Chengnian?"
"I am, what's wrong?"
"Hello, Mr. Tan, I am a staff member of the Huaifang Municipal Security Inspection Bureau, the aircraft you operate does not have professional qualifications, please go to the relevant departments as soon as possible for reporting."
"Okay, I get it."
After receiving the notice from the government, Tan Chengnian checked the specific steps of the aircraft for approval on the Internet for the first time.
From the submission of materials to the end of the approval is an extremely complex process, with many approval departments and a long waiting time for approval.
At this time, the plane is not only a dream for Tan's adulthood, but also a source of livelihood for some families.
Tan became an adult and fell into hesitation for a while.
"Or let's sell the plane, exchange it for a good price, and then run our hardware store well." Wife Li Yufeng proposed.
"I'll think about it." Tan's heart was really shaken at this time.
But when he woke up the next morning, he remembered the effort he had made to make the plane fly into the blue sky, and he must have thought that the plane could not be sold.
After making this decision, he began to perfunctory requests while continuing the business of carrying passengers on the aircraft.
At the insistence of Tan's adulthood, his wife did not say much, looking back at the process of Tan's adult pursuit of flying dreams, it was indeed a series of twists and turns.
Behind the realization of dreams
There used to be such a classic line in Song Dandan's sketch that behind a successful man there must be a woman who supports him.
This is true for Tan Chengnian, who met Li Yufeng at the beginning because he was good at manufacturing, loading and unloading parts.
On a sunny afternoon, Li Yufeng opened the wardrobe at home, found a few coarse cloth shirts and prepared to go to the ground with his parents to work, only to find that the screws next to the wardrobe were loose.
A closet door crumbled, and just then she remembered that her neighbor Tan was a master of loading, unloading and repairing furniture, so she knocked on his door.
Li Yufeng, who was just in his prime, suddenly entered tan's adult eyes, and this simple peasant rushed to respond.
Back and forth, the two secretly had a relationship, and Tan became an adult and asked his parents to seek this family affair for him.
Tan's adult parents wondered how to marry someone else's girl, and how to get a deal for their son was also a source of livelihood.
Subsequently, Tan's adult parents called the seven aunts and eight aunts, and cobbled together a hardware store for their son.
Tan's adult father especially considered his son's interests from childhood to adulthood, that is, loading and unloading, manufacturing parts, and opening a hardware store, which should be exactly what he wanted.
Sure enough, Tan was ecstatic after learning about it, and finally had the courage to marry his beloved girl.
On the wedding night, Tan Chengnian said to Li Yufeng: "You married me, I will never let you lose." My father and mother bought a hardware store for us, and you will be the lady boss in the store, all the money will be handed over to you, and we will carry something together. ”
Listening to Tan's simple and sincere promises, Li Yufeng laughed out loud.
At night, Tan Chengnian attached himself to Li Yufeng's ear to tell the story of his childhood. When he turned one year old, his family held a lively first-birthday party.
In the process of grasping the week, he chose the paper plane alone.
"Yu Feng, do you believe it or not, one day, I will definitely take you on a plane made by myself to take a good look at the mountains and rivers here."
Li Yufeng listened to Tan's adult rhetoric, only to feel frank and cute, listening to her husband's whispers, she seemed to see two people traveling around the world together in a plane.
The aircraft project took root
Li Yufeng is a good hand at managing money, and at the same time, he can talk sweetly, and after marrying, he is very loved by his in-laws, and the business of the hardware store is becoming more and more prosperous.
Two new people added two new members to the family in the second year, two daughters, one as clever as a mother, and one as loyal as a father, but the family liked it badly.
The days went by like this day by day, and on the wedding night, Tan Chengnian said that he would build an airplane, and Li Yufeng only used it as a juvenile joke.
Unexpectedly, Tan Chengnian actually moved the real thing.
At first, Li Yufeng saw that her husband really liked airplanes, and he used the discarded parts of the hardware store to assemble them casually, so he did not take this matter to heart.
But later, Tan Chengnian and Li Yufeng discussed that they would use the new parts in the hardware store to make the engine of the aircraft.
Every part is a cost, the improper family does not know the chai rice expensive, Tan adult a mouth closed, for Li Yufeng, may have to plan for a long time.
For Tan's adult use of new parts to build an airplane, the couple had some quarrels.
The end result was that Li Yufeng agreed to give some of the slightly flawed parts to Tan To use to build the engine.
With his wife's approval, Tan immediately threw himself into the production of aircraft engines.
Where there is a beginning, there will be a follow-up. After Tan began to make the first engine, the fuselage, wing, tail and so on were followed.
In fact, if Tan can finish here when he grows up and makes an engine, the family can still live with Hemei.
Zhu Yue, who is also a farmer, is like this. Zhu Yue is a northeasterner, and like Tan Cheng, he also has a blue sky dream.
After he made the decision to build an airplane, he did not immediately invest in the cost, but first conducted a series of investigations.
After learning about the trivial and complicated process required for an airplane to fly, he decided to stop his dream at a model.
In the end, he restored the Airbus 320 with more than 40 tons of iron, and decorated the interior of the aircraft with the standard of the presidential suite to be extremely luxurious, and began to run an aircraft-themed restaurant business.
In just one month, his imitation Airbus 320 received 10,000 visitors, and it can be seen from here that his rationality has prevailed.
"It's good that the dream is half realized!" He said publicly in an interview.
For Tan, he can develop making airplane models into his hobby.
As for the revenue, you can also work more exquisite models, adding a shelf selling aircraft models in the hardware store to increase revenue.
However, Tan did not think so, not only to build an airplane, but also to learn to fly an airplane.
Is a flight driver's license really worth that much?
After her husband proposed to participate in the professional training of pilots with an application fee of 30,000 yuan, Li Yufeng knew that nothing he said was useful, so he had to let Tan adulthood toss.
When people talk about dreams, they are full of enthusiasm, but at the same time, they must also consider the actual situation.
In fact, Tan is right to insist on his dreams as an adult, but there are two things he has done inappropriately, one is that his ability is wrong, and the other is that he has not balanced the relationship between dreams and reality.
On the way to building the plane, he couldn't turn back.
After three and a half months of hard training, he finally got his pilot's license.
Objectively speaking, Tan's adult age, compared with young people in their 20s, whether it is professional knowledge or physical fitness, has no longer met the requirements of pilots.
This thing is actually spending money to buy evidence.
But Tan, who had already plunged into the dream of flying at that time, was no longer controlled by reason, and was full of building and flying airplanes.
After a series of trainings, he returned home satisfied. That same year, he built the plane of his dreams.
Returning, the peak of his career fell
As the saying goes: "People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong." "In many news comment areas, there are also many flight industry professionals who advise everyone not to take a homemade plane easily.
After all, this aircraft has not been professionally qualified, nor is it protected by any safety measures, and its degree of danger is very high.
But even if there is such exhortation, due to the propaganda of the Internet, the number of people who come to the test enclave to punch the clock is endless.
Because for ordinary people, motor vehicle driving licenses are much more common than flying driver's licenses. After obtaining a flight driver's license, it also involves a series of issues such as buying an airplane.
So, how high is the gold content of this flight pilot's license?
In terms of audience popularity, since the exhibition of the Aircraft Museum of the Chengdu West Expo in 2014, many young people have begun to apply for flight pilot licenses.
From the perspective of the application conditions, only a junior high school degree is required, and this threshold has led to a surge in the number of people who can participate.
From a realistic point of view, this is an exam with a large number of applicants but a low pass rate.
Only 3,000 people are needed every year, of which only 1/3 of the domestic training, the rest are sent abroad for training.
Using the current population base of the mainland, it is calculated that 1 qualified pilot can be trained for every 1 million people.
Due to the high gold content, the training base can even guarantee that drivers do not have to worry about finding a job for 5 years after passing the exam.
Regarding the flight license, this also has to be divided into different categories.
The highest level of flight master's license is a route transport pilot, and the license holder can act as the captain of a passenger aircraft;
The second is commercial aircraft, where the driver's license holder can act as the captain of a small jet and the co-pilot of a passenger aircraft;
The third type is a private aircraft licence, the holder of which can only fly for non-profit purposes.
For Tan, the driver's license he obtained at this time can only be Class 2 or Class 3.
The well-known actor and director Wu Jing, he is one of the few 4 stars in the entertainment industry with an airplane driver's license.
But unlike Tan Cheng, Wu Jing himself has real kung fu on his body. In addition to Wu Jing, kung fu superstar Jackie Chan began learning to fly airplanes as early as 2006.
At the training base, he basically learned to fly an airplane in just one hour, which can be said to be quite talented.
However, just like we drive, a manual car is easy to drive on the road, and it is difficult to deal with emergencies.
For example, how should we react when we encounter a rushing truck at an intersection, and what should we do when we have a scratch with someone else in the neighborhood.
For aircraft, this is even more dangerous.
In the mainland criminal law, crimes against public safety are stipulated separately as parts.
The reason why the state is so strict about the self-made aircraft in the sky is because a little carelessness may collide with existing flights.
The safety incidents caused by the plane collision are not limited to one person or one family, but to all the passengers on that flight.
The place of crash after the accident is also uncontrollable, which will also endanger ordinary residents living on land.
So, what are the regulations of our country on the conditions for test flights? What does Tan's adultness fit into here?
In our country, test flights are limited by strict conditions.
First, the aircraft producer must have the qualification to produce the aircraft, which is manifested in applying to the civil aviation authority for a product type certificate, production license and maintenance license before it can fly.
Second, after the production of aircraft, it is necessary to obtain nationality, registration certificate, and airworthiness certificate before it can be put into operation.
Third, test pilots need to have the corresponding qualifications and the ability to control aircraft in order to take off.
Fourth, after the conditions for personnel, finance, and materials are satisfied, it is also necessary to examine and approve the military and air traffic control departments, and the application can only be tested after approval.
In the course of Tan's adult test flight, he only met the third condition. Therefore, such acts are illegal and violations of the law are bound to be the victims of them.
On April 8, 2007, Tan chengnian crashed while flying a plane in Jinan.
A paper verdict, the hidden plot behind it
Li Yufeng's mind roared for a while after learning of her husband's death, and under the comfort of her family, she gradually perked up.
But if you have a debt and a master, your husband cannot die in vain. Subsequently, she entrusted someone to find a lawyer and decided to take up the weapon of the law to get justice for her husband.
Here I have to mention one person, Xu Xueping.
This man was originally good friends with Tan Cheng, it was him, and he called Tan on the day of the accident. Therefore, Li Yufeng sued Xu Xueping as a defendant in a paper complaint to the court.
After two trials, the court finally ruled that the plaintiff was at fault to bear part of the responsibility, and the defendant was liable according to the proportion of fault, and compensated the Tan family for a total of more than 140,000 yuan.
Xu Xueping and another person named Geng Longwu bear the main responsibility, and the Flying Club bears supplementary liability.
So who was Geng Longwu in this incident?
Why should flying clubs take part of the blame?
According to what principle is the proportion of responsibility allocated?
It turned out that the cooperation method between Xu Xueping and Tan Chengnian was that the former was responsible for paying money, and the latter was responsible for contributing.
She remembers her husband telling her before she died that the plane was bought by Xu Xueping in November 2006, costing about 48,000 yuan, and the rural land was not needed, so it has been idle at home.
On the morning of April 6, 2007, Xu Xueping asked Tan To become an adult to help him fly the plane and take aerial photographs for a club.
In fact, when the case rose to the stage of prosecution, the defendant involved not only Xu Xueping alone.
With the help of a lawyer, Li Yufeng discovered that Xu Xueping was merely the owner of the plane. There is also a club involved behind it.
After investigation, the full name of the club is Shandong Yellow River Aviation Club. There was another person who hired Tan to fly the plane, a man named Geng Longwu and a member of the club.
There is a contract between Geng Longwu and the club, which is a creditor's rights relationship.
Before the incident, Geng Longwu contacted Xu Xueping to ask if there was a suitable person to fly the plane, and Xu Xueping thought of Tan Cheng, who had always been good friends with him.
Not only did he have a driver's license, but he also knew how to build airplanes. So under the mediation of Xu Xueping, the three people hit it off.
Here, it is necessary to explain the relationship between Geng Longwu and the club so that everyone can understand the judgment made by the court.
From the moment the contract was signed between Geng Longwu and the club, both parties had the corresponding rights and obligations.
For the club, it has a security obligation to its members Geng Longwu.
In the vernacular of the common people, whoever opens this club or who manages this club must ensure that the members who have paid the membership fee do not make any mistakes within the club.
At the same time, members should not make things in the club and cause trouble for the club.
In the civil law, there is a provision for the distribution of tort liability for violation of the obligation of safety and security, that is, the member does something in the club, and if something happens, he loses money, and the member and the club have a big head and which one is small.
Before sorting out the allocation of responsibilities, xu Xueping's plane has to be mentioned here.
It is an aircraft that is not formally registered, that is, it is not qualified to fly.
As a member of the Aviation Club, Geng Longwu was familiar with flying knowledge and could not be unaware of this.
Here we need to note that the development of this incident to the end led to the death of Tan Adult, which already involves tort liability, and there is a big difference between knowing and not knowing.
Therefore, Geng Longwu and Xu Xueping bear the main liability for compensation.
The club knew that the aircraft borrowed by Geng Longwu was an irregular way of aircraft, and still allowed its members to continue to carry out a series of follow-up activities.
It is an unfulfilled security obligation and is here subject to supplementary liability.
epilogue
It is good to have dreams, but if you ignore the actual situation, blindly pursuing your dreams is like chasing a castle in the air.
Tan's adult death could have been avoided, but his obsession with the dream of airplanes had made him lose his rationality.
And the biggest impact of this reckless and dream-chasing behavior is his family, interests, prestige, vanity, none of which are important for his family to get together for a meal.
The ordinary days of stability and happiness are not easy to come by, and it is a good idea to chase your dreams after running a good little life.
