Under this name, the website of “Kremenchug Gazeta” published an article and a story about conducting training flights by cadets of the Kremenchuk Flight College of the Kharkiv National University of Internal Affairs.
On the first day of the school year, together with the first vice-rector of the KHNUVS Police Colonel Dmitry Shvets and the director of the college Ruslan Yakovlev, the airfield “Velyka Kokhnivka” in the city. Kremenchuk was visited by journalists and editor-in-chief of the site Oleg Bulashev. We suggest that you familiarize yourself with the article:
After three years of training, current cadets have begun to fly, and those who have entered now will take to the sky for the first time with an instructor after the second year.
For many years, the cadets of the Kremenchuk Flight College only studied theory and waited for a long time until the turn came to fly a practical program and become a pilot. With the transition of the college from the system of the Ministry of Education to the system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the situation has radically changed. The cadets began to fly. How this happens, found out “Kremenchug Gazeta”, whose editor-in-chief Oleg Bulashev also studied to be a pilot at the Kremenchuk Flight College.
According to the director of the college Ruslan Yakovlev, after three years of training, the current cadets have begun to fly, and those who have entered now will take to the sky for the first time with an instructor after the second year and have to fly 145 hours.
All cadets who take to the sky today are undergoing a ground training course at Velyka Kokhnivka airfield. Pilot instructor Yuri Rubanik says that together with the cadets he develops flight routes, lays them on maps, deals with everything necessary to prepare cadets for flight.
“We have to build a route to Kirovograd and Kryvyi Rih airport. We will fly no lower than 400 m,” says Yu. Chopper.
The cadets themselves say that they should fly at least 45 hours on the Mi-2. Then they will receive all the documents and go to the structure of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. There they plan to retrain them on an Airbus helicopter.
“31 hours and 40 minutes I flew today. I'm from a dynasty of pilots. Father and brother of the pilot...
He made the first flight himself at 17 hours of the raid. It was exciting. Emotions were overwhelming,” says cadet Nikita Zhyvitsa.
It was with Yu. Rubanyk and M. The journalists of the Kremenchug newspaper climbed into the sky on one of the already five Mi-2 helicopters.
From a bird's eye view, we looked at the Youth and Oil Refineries, looked at the fields around Kremenchug and the infrastructure of the city.
“The flight went well. Mistakes are not made”, — after landing he told about the actions of cadet Yu. Chopper.
He says that cadets grow wings right after flights.
“They come to us happy, and when they go to heaven, there is no limit to happiness at all. We teach them how it should be, and life will teach what is...
If you watch the film “Icebreaker”, then the actions of the pilots are generally different from the realities. It will be seen by any pilot or aviation expert... and the right film “Some old men go to battle”...
We should be proud of our graduates and let them not forget their native college,” says pilot instructor Yuriy Rubanyk.
Indeed, we Kremenchuzhans should be proud of the fact that we have such a unique educational institution as Kremenchuk Flight College, which has trained pilots for more than 70 countries of the world.
After the decline, in today's time, we have the heyday of college.
“We have come to this and we will move on. We are not going to stop,” said Dmitry Shvets, the first vice-rector of the Kharkiv National University of Internal Affairs, which a few years ago included the Kremenchuk Flight College.
R. Yakovlev says that the next step in the future will be the acquisition by an educational institution of French Airbus helicopters, the launch of the Airbus simulator, the overhaul of dormitories and dining colleges, as well as the improvement of its material and technical base.
