I was able to do it even at 60 years old! I was also speaking a little bit of Japanese. Since you slide in for landing, I think it's a good idea to wear leggings.

My first experience in a Cessna. I was filled with anticipation as I headed to Oahu. However, the morning hotel pickup was canceled, so I ended up joining in the afternoon. Later, I learned from a Japanese man in his 50s who was driving us that the morning flights were canceled due to heavy fog, which made me feel lucky. This man had extensive knowledge about Hawaii, and during the 20-minute drive, we became quite familiar with the area. The airport waiting room was very clean, and there were plenty of welcoming snacks. I also encountered the cleanest restroom of my Hawaii trip there. The flight route was explained by the pilot, who seemed friendly and was also a Japanese man in his 50s. I took motion sickness medication an hour before the flight, and off we went. Onboard, the scenery was stunning, and the pilot provided a wealth of commentary over the tourist spots, which made for an exciting experience. I was worried about getting motion sickness, but it was a comfortable journey in the sky. The flight lasted about 70 minutes from takeoff to landing. We circled over the Pearl Harbor Arizona Memorial about nine times while waiting for landing clearance, which was also fun. The landing was very smooth, with less vibration than my return flight on Delta Airlines.
I would definitely use this service again if I have the opportunity!
初めてのセスナ体験。期待に胸を膨らませオアフへ。ところが朝いちホテルピックアップが不可になり午後に参加することに。後で聞いたらその日の午前は霧が深くフライトできなかったと、送迎の50代と思われる日本人男性から聞きラッキーな気分。この男性のハワイの知識が豊富で20分程のドライブでかなりハワイ通になった私たち。空港の待合室はとても綺麗でおもてなしの菓子も沢山あり、ハワイ旅行中で一番綺麗なトイレに出会ったのもこちら。フライトルート説明が機長からあり分かりやすく人柄良さそうなこちらも50代と思われる日本人男性。酔い止めを1時間前に飲み、いざフライト。機上にて景色の素晴らしさ、観光地の上での盛り沢山の機長の解説、撮影等で盛り上がり、心配していた酔いもなく快適な空の旅。離陸から着陸まで約70分。着陸許可が出るまで真珠湾アリゾナ記念館上を9回ほど旋回し、それもまた楽しい。着陸もとても上手で帰路のデルタ航空より振動がなく笑。
また機会あれば是非利用します!

I called to change the pickup location the day before, and they kindly accommodated my request. It’s a reassuring experience with a company run by Japanese people. During the drive, they provided various information about Hawaii, which was enjoyable.
Pilot Teddy Nomura also shared many sightseeing spots during the flight. He spoke very well about the first-time experience of piloting. I was able to see rainbows multiple times, which was delightful.
After a short break (with plenty of snacks and juice), they changed the return shuttle to drop us off at Ala Moana Shopping Center. They recommended some affordable shops, which made the experience even more enjoyable.
I am very grateful to the couple who run the business. I had a wonderful experience and great memories. I would love to visit again. Thank you very much.

On the day of the experience, although things didn't go as planned due to aircraft maintenance, the staff worked hard to find a solution, and in the end, I was able to experience the flight as scheduled. I am truly grateful to all the staff.
This was my second time experiencing flight training in my life, and I can only express my amazement! I was able to hear the communication with the control tower, feel the moment of takeoff, and see the tourist spots of Hawaii from the cockpit. It was truly the best experience! Even now, I look at the photos and videos every day and remember it fondly. I definitely want to participate again the next time I go to Hawaii! Thank you so much!

My first skydiving experience was with my buddy Derek D. He was a bit of a jokester, and even while we were on the plane, he managed to scare me a little. Just before the dive, we all did a fist bump to encourage each other to return safely, which made me realize, as expected, that even for professionals, it’s a dangerous activity. After the dive, that turned into high fives, which I thought was nice.
He taught me the basics in minimal Japanese. During the dive, my mouth got really dry, and I wanted to keep it closed, but I couldn't help but scream, so the sore throat afterward was quite something... The staff wore full-face masks, so they didn’t have to deal with dryness—lucky them! The freefall after the parachute opened was fun, but occasionally we picked up speed and made turns, which was thrilling. Also, my ears hurt for half a day due to the pressure changes. Overall, it was a fantastic experience!
初スカイダイビング
デレクDさんがバディでした
少しお茶目な方で、飛行機に乗ってる時も少し脅かされてました
ダイビング直前には皆でグータッチで、無事に帰還するように、励ますようなやり取りが何回もあり、当たり前ですがやはりプロでも危険なものなんだなと感じました

The first time, I was just scared and ended the experience, but after it was over, I thought, "What a wonderful experience! Next time, I want to enjoy it while flying!" So, I decided to try again six months later! I had a fantastic experience that I could never have in my daily life!
For my first attempt, I signed up for the handheld camera and photo package. I requested an outside camera (where a photographer flies separately from the instructor to take pictures) on-site, and I was shocked by the final video. The footage from the outside camera was edited upside down. I emailed three times and also contacted them via Instagram with detailed explanations and images asking for corrections, but I was ignored. I also reached out through this site, but that was ignored as well.
When I mentioned this on-site this time, they offered me the outside camera for free (the cost for the outside camera during my first attempt was $139). Since the weather was good this time, I was told I could jump from an additional 1000 meters for $160, so I requested that. Whether this would be possible depended on luck, but it was amazing! The photos and videos were sent the next day, and they were fantastic! The first video was about six minutes long, while the second was nine minutes. Depending on the instructor and photographer, there seems to be quite a difference in the experience and the footage. This also depends on luck. Everything was perfect this time!
1度目はひたすら怖がって体験を終えてしまい、
体験終了後に「素晴らしい体験だった!次は楽しみながら飛びたい!」と思い、半年後に再チャレンジ!日常では決して味わえない体験を楽しみながらさせていただきました!
1度目はハンディカメラと写真のパッケージで申し込み。現地でアウトサイドカメラ(カメラマンがインストラクターとは別でもうひとり飛んで撮影してくれる)を頼み、出来上がりの映像で驚愕。
アウトサイドカメラの映像が上下逆さまで編集されてました。メールで3度、インスタからも「直してほしい」と細かく説明や画像を添えて問い合わせたが、無視されてしまい、こちらのサイトにも問い合わせましたが、それも無視されたままでした。。
今回その事を現地で話すと、無料でアウトサイトカメラを付けてもらえました。(1度目のアウトサイトカメラ料金は139ドル)今回は天気が良いので+160ドルで+1000mの高さからのジャンプが出来るとの事でお願いしました。これが出来るかは運次第ですが、最高でした!写真と映像は翌日送られてきて、出来も最高でした!1度目の映像は約6分、2度目は9分でした。インストラクターとカメラマンによっては体験と映像にかなり差が出る印象。
これも運次第です。今回は全て最高でした!

At the end of August, my wife and I participated together. My wife had a piloting experience. It was an expensive tour, but we thought that if we missed this opportunity, we might never get to pilot a plane again, so we signed up.
The person who picked us up was Japanese, and the pilot was also from Japan, which made us feel very secure.
The course took us around the eastern half of Oahu and lasted about an hour. Naturally, it was my wife's first time piloting a plane, and she was extremely nervous, but they provided support at the right times, so we were able to enjoy it without any dangerous moments (she got tired about two-thirds of the way through, so the pilot took over for the rest).
And surprisingly, after the flight experience, my wife forgot her phone on the sofa, but they contacted us and even delivered it to our hotel. I really appreciate the extra effort they made.
8月末に妻と二人で参加しました。妻が操縦体験をしました。高額なツアーですが、もうこの機会を逃したら飛行機の操縦なんて二度と無いかも、ということで申し込みました。

オアフ島の東半分を周遊するコースで、ちょうど1時間ほど。当然妻も飛行機の操縦は初めてでめちゃくちゃ緊張していましたが、適時サポートしてくれるので危ないところもなく楽しめました(2/3くらいのところで疲れてしまったので、残りは操縦していただきました)。
そしてなんと、飛行体験が終わったあとソファのところに妻が携帯を忘れていってしまったのですが、連絡をくれてわざわざホテルまで届けてくれました。大変お手数おかけしました。

It was absolutely amazing! This time, I went with my family of four. The exhilaration and indescribable feeling are something you can't experience anywhere else. Skydiving doesn't have the same sense of distance from the ground as bungee jumping, so it's not scary at all. If you haven't tried it yet, I definitely encourage you to give it a shot!

I have a fear of heights, but thanks to everyone's reviews and the YouTube videos I watched to prepare, I really enjoyed the day! However, our lack of English skills meant that the details of our reservation were completely ignored. They were promoting plans like having another cameraman fly and take photos, and there are plans that allow you to fly even higher, targeting Japanese customers. As a beginner, I ended up with a plan that goes up to the highest altitude with an oxygen mask, which was a big misunderstanding, so please be careful! But it was so much fun!

I took advantage of the pick-up service to Waikiki. In the morning, a cheerful older man came to pick me up in a van. All 11 of us boarded the 11-seater, and it took a little over an hour to reach the North Shore.
Upon arrival, I logged in using a touch panel. Everything was in English, but I managed to do it in about five minutes with Google Lens for translation. Then, I went to the register to pay a fuel surcharge of $15 and chose a photo package to complete the process.
I was expecting some safety instructions before the jump, but the instructor helped me put on the gear and briefly said in broken Japanese where to place my hands just before jumping, to "arch my back" while in the air, and to lift my legs upon landing. It was a bit confusing, and I felt a little discomfort when the gear accidentally hit my ear during removal, but I couldn't express it well. Other than that, it was fantastic.
After that, I boarded the plane, jumped, arched my back, lifted my legs, and landed. I received a souvenir at the end. At that time, I was given a bag for tips, which I placed in the box.
On the way back, I rode with the same group. It was a bit scary to eat a sandwich while using my smartphone and driving on the highway, but I made it back safely.

There are convenient bus transfers from several major hotels in Waikiki. On the day of the trip, I was worried because the bus arrived about 10 minutes late due to a traffic jam, but I was able to board safely.
It takes about an hour by car from Waikiki to Mokuleia. During the ride, the driver gave a brief explanation in English (I couldn't catch much due to my own English skills, but it was no problem). The driver was a cheerful person who even started singing alone, which felt very American, haha.
For skydiving, after checking in, you take off following a brief lecture. You can enjoy beautiful views of the ocean and mountains, so I highly recommend it. This time, I jumped from 1,400 feet, but I would like to try 1,800 feet someday. You can also purchase videos and photos.

Due to strong winds, it was said that the eastern side of the island would be quite bumpy, so after takeoff, we headed north through the center of the island and then circled around to the west. The flight start time was delayed because the fuel truck took a while to arrive, but we were able to fly for a full hour.
During the experience, I was able to hold the control stick from takeoff to landing. Takeoff and landing are difficult, so I had to assist, but I still felt like I was piloting the plane. Once we successfully took off, I was able to fly the plane freely. The instructor guided me on the route, and I maneuvered along the highway and coastline. The sensation of controlling the plane up, down, left, and right was truly moving. The instructor handled the more challenging operations of the yoke and throttle, allowing me to focus on controlling the stick.
The weather was great, and seeing Oahu from the sky was breathtaking with its rich natural beauty. At various points, the instructor introduced sightseeing spots, and I was also able to take photos while the instructor handled the piloting. Both the instructor and the staff took many photos for us. They were friendly and easy to talk to, and they were very kind. This time, the instructor was Japanese, so I was able to experience everything in Japanese, which was very helpful.
It was an unforgettable experience that will last a lifetime. I am very satisfied. Thank you!

天気が良く、空から見るオアフ島は自然豊かで絶景でした。要所要所で、教官が観光名所を紹介してくださり、また操縦を教官に任せて写真を撮ることも出来ます。教官やスタッフさんも写真を沢山撮ってくださいました。教官もスタッフさんも気さくな方で話しやすく大変親切にしてくださいました。今回はスタッフに加え、教官も日本人だったのでオール日本語で体験出来、助かりました。
一生の思い出となる体験が出来ました。
大変満足しています。ありがとうございました

Since childhood, I have dreamed of flying and wanted to become a pilot, but my mother, who was in charge of career guidance at home, dismissed my aspirations with a simple "no." I had been simmering with this dream for a long time, but after watching Mr. Onoda pilot a Cessna in Hawaii on YouTube, I thought, "This is it!" and I was inspired. After 50 years, my "dream" came true in Hawaii. Due to the weather, we were initially scheduled for the west course, but thanks to the captain's decisive choice, we flew the east course instead. Peering down at Diamond Head from above was the most amazing experience. The staff were incredibly kind, which made it even better. They provided round-trip transportation from the hotel, and we had such lively conversations that there was no time to feel nervous. I said my goodbyes, looking forward to next year, and it was a pleasant farewell. I've already booked my hotel, so I look forward to coming back.
子供の頃から飛行機に憧れ、パイロットになりたいと実家の進路指導担当の母に申し出てもダメの一言で片付けられてしまいました。以来ずっと燻っていましたが、Youtubeで小野田さんがハワイでセスナ機を操縦するのを観て、これだ!と膝を叩きました。今回50年の時を経て、ハワイで“夢”が叶いました。天気の関係で西コースの予定でしたが、機長の英断で東コースを飛びました。ダイヤモンドヘッドを上から覗き込むなんて最高の体験です。スタッフの皆さんがまた親切でホントに良かったです。ホテルから往復送迎して頂きましたが、会話が弾んで緊張する暇も有りませんでした。また来年もお世話になりますと挨拶をして心地良いお別れをしました。もうホテルは予約しましたので、またお願いします。

I was very worried about participating alone, but I was able to take many photos, and since flying a Cessna has been my dream, it seems I had a lot of fun. I truly appreciate the support provided and the quick responses to my inquiries. Thank you very much!
1人での参加なのでとても心配していましたが、写真も沢山撮って頂き本人も
セスナ操縦が夢だったのでとても楽しかったようです。サポートをきちんとして頂き問い合わせにもすぐに答えてくださって本当に感謝しています。ありがとうございました!

I wanted to try skydiving at least once in my life, so I booked a plan with an instructor that included a handy camera and transportation.
On the day of the jump, it took about an hour to arrive at the destination from the hotel designated for pickup. I shared the ride with others who had booked at the same time. The driver occasionally spoke to everyone.
Upon arrival, the first step was to register basic information on an iPad. In the ID input section on the first page, if you booked through Veltra, you just needed to enter the last seven digits of the confirmation on your voucher. It was a bit unclear since "ID" was not mentioned on the voucher.
After finishing the registration on the iPad, I headed to the counter. At that time, there was someone who spoke Japanese at the counter, which made the process smooth. At the counter, they confirmed basic information, offered additional packages, and asked for my passport. Finally, I received a boarding ticket with a printed QR code.
After registering at the counter, I began preparing for skydiving. From this point on, the time until the jump varies depending on the day's circumstances. I was the first among the members who arrived in the same vehicle to be called. I greeted the instructor and began preparations. After putting on the harness, the instructor clearly demonstrated the positions to take before jumping and during the fall with gestures. That was the extent of the pre-jump briefing.
I headed to the Cessna with the instructor. There were about 4 to 5 other groups besides mine. Inside the Cessna, the instructor sat closely behind me as we lined up in order to jump. It was quite cramped. Gradually, we ascended to a height above the clouds.
When we reached the jump point, the door opened, and one by one, we began to jump. There was hardly any time to feel scared; it was that quick.
Personally, the sensation during the fall was completely different from that of a free-fall ride at an amusement park. I didn't feel any nauseating sensation in my stomach; it felt more like riding a motorcycle at high speed, cutting through the wind. However, it was incredibly fast.
The goggles were fitted quite tightly, allowing me to enjoy the scenery even during the fall. Additionally, the instructor occasionally pointed the camera at my face and asked me to make certain gestures.
After the parachute opened, we floated down slowly to the ground. For me, this part was hell. I didn't feel sick at all during the fall, but after the parachute opened, I suddenly felt unwell. I think it was because I was excited and noisy during the fall, looking at the scenery and interacting with the instructor, which led to insufficient breathing and a near state of oxygen deprivation. When I quickly informed the instructor that I felt unwell, he kindly advised me on how much longer it would take to reach the ground and suggested I take deep breaths. I was really grateful for that. Once we landed, I was able to breathe easily and quickly recovered, chatting with the instructor and packing up the equipment.
After arriving on the ground, I received a skydiving certificate (which also serves as a picture book), a sticker, and a pen. At this time, I also received an envelope for tips. The amount, as others have mentioned, is around $10 to $30. The envelope has a checkbox where you can choose to tip the operating organization or the instructor who jumped with you.
The return vehicle had almost the same members as the outgoing trip. The reason I say "almost" is that those who jumped later were assigned to the next transportation. This might happen if the plans differ or if there are many people. By the way, the ride was bumpy due to the bad roads and the speed. Given that it was after skydiving, it would be wise to take motion sickness medication. There was a notice in the vehicle reminding us to tip the driver. My wife and I rode together and gave a total of $20 for the round trip. The driver seemed very ple
人生で一回くらいスカイダイビングしてみたいと思って、インストラクターのハンディカメラ付きのプラン、送迎付きで予約しました。
当日、ピックアップに指定されたホテルから大体1時間くらいで、目的地に到着します。その日の同じ時間に予約した別の方々と乗り合いでした。運転手の方が時々全員に向けて話しかけてくれます。
到着したら、最初にアイパッドで、基本情報の登録作業をします。一番最初のページのIDを入力する欄には、ベルトラで予約した場合は、バウチャーのconfarmationの下7桁を入力すればよかったです。バウチャーに"ID"と記載がないのでややわかりづらかったです。
アイパッドでの登録を終えたらカウンターへ向かいます。その時は日本語が話せる方がカウンターにいらしゃってスムーズに対応いただけました。カウンターでは基本情報の確認、追加パッケージの勧誘、パスポートの提示を求められるぐらいです。最後にQRコードが印刷された搭乗チケットをくれます。
カウンターでの登録後、スカイダイビングの準備に入ります。ここからは、その日の状況によって飛ぶまでの時間が人によって変わってくると思います。
私は一緒の車に乗ってきたメンバーの中では一番早く呼ばれました。インストラクターと対面して軽く挨拶をして準備に入ります。ハーネスを装着した後、ジャンプする前と落下中に、どういう体勢を取ればいいか身振り手振りを交えてわかりやすく教えてくれます。ちなみに事前講習は以上です。
インストラクターとともにセスナへ向かいます。私以外に4〜5組くらいいました。セスナの中ではインストラクターが背中に密着した状態で飛ぶ順番に並んで座ります。かなりギチギチです。だんだんと高度が上がっていって雲の上まで到達します。
飛び出すポイントに到着すると、扉を開けて、次々にジャンプを開始します。怖がる余裕すらほぼないと思います。そのくらいどんどん飛び立ちます。
個人的に落下中の感覚は遊園地のアトラクションのフリーフォールとは全く異なるものでした。内臓が持っていれるような気持ちの悪い感覚はなくて、高速で移動してるバイクに乗って風を切っている感覚に近かったです。ただ、とんでもなく速いです。
ゴーグルをかなりきつめにつけるので、落下中でも景色を楽しむことができました。また、インストラクターの方が時々、カメラを顔に向けてくれたり、手でこんな形してみてみたいなことを求めてきてくれます。
パラシュートが開いた後はゆっくりと浮遊して地面まで降ります。私の場合はここが地獄でした。落下中は全く気持ち悪くなりませんでしたが、パラシュートを開いてから急に気分か悪くなりました。おそらくですが落下中に興奮して騒いだり、景色見たり、インストラクターと戯れた結果、呼吸が十分でなく酸欠に近い状態になったのだと思います。
気分が悪い事をインストラクターにすぐ伝えると、後どのくらいで地上につくとか、深呼吸をするようにと優しくアドバイスをくれました。本当にありがたかったです。地面に付いてからは安心して呼吸が整ったからか、すぐに回復し、インストラクターと話したり、器具を片付けることができました。
地上到着後に、スカイダイビングの証明書(兼絵本)、ステッカー、ボールペンをいただけました。このときにチップ用の封筒ももらえます。金額は他の方もかいてますが10〜30ドルくらいです。封筒にはチェック欄があって、運営団体へのチップか、一緒に飛んでくれたインストラクターへのチップかを選ぶことができました。
帰りの車も行きとほぼ同じメンバーでした、ほぼというのは飛ぶタイミングが遅い方が、次のタイミングの送迎に割り当てられたためと思います。プランが違ったり、人数が多かったりするとこういう事があるのかもしれません。ちなみに送迎の運転は、道が悪いのとスピード結構出すため、揺れます。スカイダイビングのこともあるので酔い止め飲んでおいたほうがいいです。送迎の車にはドライバーにチップ渡してね、みたいな張り紙がしてあります。私は妻と2人で乗っていき、行き帰り合計で20ドル渡しました。ドライバーの方は、だいぶ喜ばれていました。
プランの写真と、ビデオは終了してから2、3時間後に登録したメアドに届きました。Gメールだとプロモーションの方に入ってました。
ややアクシデントはあったものの、とても貴重な体験ができました。もしこれから行かれる方は、とてもあたりまえのことなんですが、落下中もちゃんと呼吸することを意識してみてください。パラシュートの滑空中も素晴らしい景色を楽しめるとおもいます。

The weather was great, and the scenery was beautiful—it was the best. Jumping into the sky was less scary than I expected, and I felt safe with Austin flying tandem with me. I want to do it again.
The videos and photos are expensive, but there are plenty of pictures, and the video editing is fantastic. I didn't request them when I booked the tour, but I asked for them on-site. If it's your first time flying, I definitely recommend getting them.
いい天気で景色も良くて最高でした。空に飛び出すのは思ったよりも怖くなく、タンデムで飛んでくれたAustinがいて安心でした。また飛びたいです。
動画や写真は高いですが、写真もたくさんあって、動画の編集も素晴らしいです。自分はツアー申込時は頼んでませんでしたが現地で頼みました。初めて飛ぶのであれば絶対頼んだ方が良いです。

It was one of the things I wanted to do before I die, so I'm really happy to have achieved it. I have no resistance to jumping, so I didn't feel any fear at all. It was just beautiful! Amazing! It felt like shouting "Banzai!" I struggled with equalizing my ears, and they were making funny noises, haha. When I get the photos, I might cry from laughing because I look so bad.
I think everyone should experience this at least once!
死ぬまでにやりたいリストの1つだったので
達成できて嬉しいです
飛び降りるのに対して抵抗が全くないタイプなので
怖さもなにも感じませんでした
ただただ、綺麗!最高!バンザーイって感じでした!

The explanation from the pilot was unhelpful. I was told to take the controls, so I grabbed the yoke, but I was cautioned not to grip it too tightly to avoid conflict. When I tried to level the plane, I was met with opposing inputs. The experience of piloting was not enjoyable at all; I was just resting my hands on the controls. Ultimately, I was told that if I kept turning left, I would be reprimanded. I wasn't actually steering; I was just resting my hands, which is why it kept turning left. The inability to assess the situation and the poor explanations were frustrating. I was also instructed to enjoy myself more. I am enjoying myself, but please do not dictate people's emotions.
I fully understand that beginners cannot be entrusted with the controls. However, if you are promoting an experience of piloting, this approach is inappropriate.
The information I received from the driver prior to the experience was completely different. There was no explanation on how to read the instruments. There was a brief explanation on the ground, but that was it.
I understand that communicating with air traffic control can be challenging. However, it is part of the job, and failing to satisfy customers is second-rate. What do you mean by "enjoy it more" when you are so brusque?
The conversation with K, who was assigned today, was the most enjoyable part. The pilot only used technical jargon and showed no willingness to provide clear explanations. I have hundreds of hours of experience with Japan's national license, as an examiner, and in drone training.
You must assess what kind of people come for the experience and provide explanations tailored to each individual. Giving the same brusque explanation to everyone is meaningless.
If I had known the level of the participants, I could have skipped basic explanations like pitch, roll, and yaw, and focused on more important details.
There was a lack of communication between the driver and the pilot. I was instructed not to use yaw, but that is a separate issue altogether.
K later supplemented all the difficult terms. He shared many stories from wartime and emphasized the importance of passing knowledge to the next generation. Without K, I would have wanted a full refund for the experience.
In the car on the way back, the woman in the passenger seat didn't say a word; I wondered what she was there for.
Thank you very much, K and the driver, for your help.
パイロットの説明が不親切。
操縦しろと言うから舵を握る、舵を握れば、喧嘩しないように強く握るな。
水平にしようと舵をきると当て舵をされる。
操縦は全く面白くありませんでした。ただ舵に手を添えているだけ。最終的に左にずっと舵をきっていると注意される。
舵をきっているのではなく、手をそえているだけだから左に曲がっていくだけです。
状況判断も出来ず、説明が下手くそ。
もっと楽しめと指図もされました。
楽しんでいます。人の感情を指示しないでください。
初心者に舵をまかせられないのは重々承知の上です。しかし、体験操縦を謳い文句にしているのであれば、このようなやり方は不適切です。
事前に送り迎えのドライバーに聞いていた内容とは全く異なります。
計器の見方も全く説明なし。地上ではさわり程度に説明がありましたが。
管制官との連絡が大変なのは分かります。しかし、仕事なので、客を満足させられないのは二流、三流です。ぶっきらぼうなくせに何がもっと楽しめだ。
本日から配属になったKさんとの会話が一番楽しかったです。パイロットは、専門用語ばかりを口にし、分かりやすい説明をする気もなし。こちらは日本の国家ライセンス、終了審査員、ドローンの講習を何百時間も行っています。
体験に来た方がどのような人なのかを確認し、それぞれの人に応じた説明をしなければなりません。ぶっきらぼうな同じ説明を万人にしても意味は無し。
体験に来た方のレベルを聞いておけば、pitch、roll、yawなどの基本的な説明を省きもっと重要な説明が出来たと思います。
ドライバーの方とパイロットのコミュニケーション不足です。yawは使わないなどと指示していましたが、そもそもそれ以前の問題です。
Kさんは難しい単語を後から全て補足してくれました。戦争の時の話、次の世代に受け継がなければならないことをたくさん教えてくださいました。Kさんがいなければ、体験費用を全額返金願いたいところです。
帰りの車の中で助手席に乗った女性、一言も話さず、何のために乗っているのか。
Kさん、ドライバーの方本当にお世話になりました。ありがとうございました。
