以下对话发生在12月的一个午后，天空蓝蓝的，万里无云。

——我们很高兴你加入了中国AOPA，能简单介绍一下自己吗？

我是Chris Turner, 来自英国。18岁那年，我成为了一名军人，并在军队里开始学习飞直升机。现在我在希腊生活，是一名机长。2019年年初，我会前往中国，那里将成为我的下一个飞行基地。

——到目前为止，你一共飞了多少种机型？

三十多种，从直升机，军机到民航的宽体客机。具体的机型我还需查询飞行记录本。我在军队时，是一名高级考试员，负责所有的机型；飞民航时，担任机长。目前我的飞行小时数超过了6000小时，军队飞行小时数3500小时，民航飞行小时数2500多小时。

——你是英国AOPA的会员吗？

我在英国时加入了英国AOPA. 并且我有自己的飞机：Christen Eagle II, 它是一架小型的双翼机，机翼跟尾翼之间的距离不大，有点像Pitts Special S2。以前在英国时，我常常开着它去参加特技飞行比赛。很是怀念。

——听起来，在英国飞行似乎十分自由。

是的，只要不违规进入A类、D类空域以及一些管制区，你可以飞到任何想去的地方。“不违规”是指进入A类或D类空域之前必须获得准入许可，当然，A类空域还要求飞行员具备仪表等级的飞行执照。

——如果要获得准入许可，飞行计划大约多久可以获批？

在英国，如果是目视飞行的话，无需提交飞行计划，也无需获得飞行许可，自己对自己的飞行负责就是了。仪表飞行则需要提交飞行计划，5分钟之内获批。

——英国有多少通航机场？

从设施精良的大型机场到小的私人机场，共1800多个，其中有130多个是专门用来通航飞行的。另外，英国现在有28000多名私照飞行员，10000多名滑翔机飞行员，除此之外，还有19000名职业飞行员。你可以通过这些数据，感受一下像英国的航空发展情况。

——你能讲讲最难忘的一次飞行经历吗？

我有很多不同的飞行经历，很难说哪一个是最难忘的。现在，我脑海里浮现的是飞往莫桑比克的那一次。我们在那儿待了一个月，特别开心。只是回程的时候出了点儿小插曲，飞机尾部舱门的阀门松开了，我们不得不紧急降落，当然大家最后都安然无恙。可能正是因为紧急降落这点儿小插曲才让我一直记忆犹新吧~

——现在作为中国AOPA的会员，有什么话想对我们说吗？
与中国AOPA接触的这几个月里，我感受到你们十分努力和用心，期望像其他各国的AOPA一样为会员争取更多的权益，推动通航在中国的发展。中国通航刚刚起步，虽然政府管制比较严格，但我更相信AOPA能力。

以下是英文部分

Claire: Hello, everyone. This is 5 Minutes with AOPA-China. I’m very happy that we have Mr. Chris Turner with us this time. So Mr.Chris Turn, could you introduce yourself a little bit?

Chris: Hi everyone, I’m Chris Turner, a captain from the UK. Currently, I’m living in Greece and will be moving to China early in 2019.

Claire: Welcome to China. When did you become a pilot?

Chris: I learned to fly when I was 18 in the British Army, flying helicopters.

Claire: How many hours have you flown so far?

Chris: I’ve got just over 6,000 hours currently, 3500 hours in the British Army, over 2500 hours for civilian.

Claire: You have flown both military and civilian. How many types of aircraft have you flown?

Chris: Without checking my logbook, I’ve got 30 plus aircraft varying from helicopters, military fast jets to heavy body transports. When I was in military, I was a senior examiner for all aircraft types, and in civilian world, I was an IOC captain driving various different aircraft.

Claire: Your experiences are mind-blowing. To my understanding, AOPA-UK has been an very active player in the IAOPA society. Are you a member of AOPA-UK?

Chris: Yeah, I was an AOPA-UK member when I lived in the UK.

Claire: Are you an Aircraft owner?

Chris: Yeah, I had my own aircraft Christen Eagle II which is a short-coupled biplane, high performance, very similar to Pitts Special S2, I used to use that for competing in aerobatics throughout the UK.

Claire: So you are also an aerobatic pilot. And I want to know in the UK, If you want to fly, where can you fly?

Chris: Essentially in the UK, you can fly anywhere as long as you don’t infringe airspace which are category D, CTRs(control zones) and Class A airspace. But otherwise, you can fly anywhere you want. If you get clearance, you can enter Class D or if you hold the instrument rating, you can enter Class A with clearance.

Claire: That is very attempting. As regards the clearance, how long does it take for you to get your flight plan approved.

Chris: In the UK, as in a lot of European counties, if you fly VFR, you don’t need flight plan, no notification or clearance is required. If you fly IFR, you do need a flight plan and that will take you only 5 minutes.

Claire: Comparatively speaking, the UK really has this open airspace for everyone to fly in. How many general aviation airports or landing areas are there in the UK?

Chris: In the UK, just 1800 air fields, anything from big tarmac airfield such as Heathrow, Stansted to people’s private fields, out of those 130 roughly are the main sites where general aviation is conducted.

Claire: How many GA pilots are there in the UK?

Chris: There is currently 28,000 private pilots registered, 10,000 glide pilots, on top of that, there are 19,000 professional pilot license holders. So I gave you an idea just how many pilots are in the small country like the UK.

Claire: You’ve flown so many hours. And through all those years, can you share your favorite flight with us? The most unforgettable one.

Chris: It’s quite difficult to say actually. I’ve got a lot of different flight. Probably the one standing  in my memory at the moment is the one to Mozambique. We were down there, in Kingair 350, very nice trip, we’ve down there for a month.When we were back, it wasn’t really a very good time, we got pressure seal blow on the rear passenger door, which involved an emergency turn-back and landing but probably it was nothing, probably just for that reason. It was a good fun with an emergency that stands out my mind.

Claire: What kind of services are you looking for from AOPA-China?

Chris: From my standpoint I’d like to say AOPA-China mature and progress to be like its sisters and cousins in other countries, adding values to all the members and driving the general aviation in a country where the reality is green field. Green field, I mean it’s very new and no body yet does that. That’s what I’d like to say: the ability for that to grow within the governmental control issues.

Claire: Thank you so much Chris. That brings us to the end of 5 Minuted with AOPA-China. If you have anything to share, you can always find us on Facebook, Twitter, Ximalaya and Wechat. We are here waiting for you. That’s all for today and see you next week.
