Miss Pilot (ミス・パイロット)

Are you guys really going to do this?

There's no need to do this as it's not part of your mission.

Aerospace is the best!

I can't hear what you're saying. Take off your mask.

2012 December 20 Altitude Chamber

This training exercise looked fun to do.

If they have the facilities here anyway.

It's difficult to do this in Japan, right?

- I do feel a bit nervous. - All right then.

I think I'll pass on this one.

I already figured out how the oxygen masks work anyway.

You're such a party pooper. Enjoy yourself a bit more!

Those that don't want to do this don't have to.

As long as you don't panic when the time comes to use one.

Oh... Then maybe I'll participate.

Listen. This is not a game.

Terrible things will happen if you underestimate this.

All right, I'll explain the exercise procedure to you. You guys will be experiencing

the low oxygen environment of over 30 thousand feet.

Put that mask on if you feel something's wrong,

- even if it's just a little. - All right.

During the exercise you'll be doing a song with motions.

That way it's easy to determine if there's something wrong with one of you.

- What song with motions should we do? - Like "Arupusu Ichimanjyaku"?

"Arupusu Ichimanjyaku" is the melody of "Yankee Doodle" with Japanese lyrics.

You guys can decide that yourselves.

All right, we're going to start. Let's begin.

Here we go.

A children song named "Guu Choki Paa de nani tsukuro?" Literally translated, it means "What should we make with Rock Scissors Paper?"

"Guu Choki Paa de"

"Guu Choki Paa de"

"Nani tsukuro? Nani tsukuro?"

"Migite de Choki de hidarite de Guu de"

"Parashuuto, parashuuto"

"Guu Choki Paa de"

2000 feet.

"Nani tsukuro? Nani tsukuro?"

"Migite de Guu de hidarite mo Guu de"

"Gorira Gorira"

"Guu Choki Paa de"

"Guu Choki Paa de"

"Nani tsukuro? Nani tsukuro?"

4000 feet.

"Migite ga Paa de hidarite mo Paa de..."

"Guu Choki Paa de, Guu Choki Paa de..."

Stop. Stop!

Kotori!

It's all right, don't worry. Let's have him lie down outside.

- You're so heavy! Go on a diet. - Watch his head.

I'm all right.

- Was it that tough? - Not at all.

Of course, it wasn't. That was still the altitude that you guys usually fly.

Oh. man... How chicken-hearted can he be?

Oh...

Did you know that there's apparently a famous zoo nearby?

The Red River Zoo, right?

Should we go and look at the gorillas

- when we have our Christmas break? - Sure.

- Really? - Hey, everybody.

Taiji is suggesting that we go and look at the gorillas around Christmas.

Huh? That's not what I meant...

- That sounds good. - That settles it then.

- Hey. - But why gorillas...

Huh? Isn't that the kyokan?

Kyokan.

Are you on your way to pickup some girls and have dinner?

You idiot. Where would you ever find a guy like that? I'm just going for dinner.

Then would you like to have dinner at our place?

Haru said that she's going to make futomaki with Roy today.

Futomaki is a big sushi roll.

Do you guys really think that I'll do such an annoying thing?

You guys are making me join not just for dinner but also for studying, aren't you?

- You figured it out? - Your motive is so obvious. See ya.

Oh, come on. Why not for a change? Isn't it lonely to eat by yourself?

Your question is the most annoying.

I'm so hungry.

- Huh? - About what we just talked about...

- What? - Welcome back.

- Why? - Would you like to have dinner?

Or will you take a shower first?

- You came Suzu-chan! - Of course.

Are you serious...

Hey, Suzu-chan!

Let me go. Hey.

What~! Why? Why are you here?

Taiji kept asking me to come over.

- Did I really? - You're still in training. I can't believe this.

But isn't it about the time that you start craving for Japanese food?

- Kanoko-san! - You came together?

Cooking is so easy because he's helping.

- You're welcome. - So does that mean that we're going to have

- a Japanese food party tonight? - Yay~!

So that means that you can't get out of this anymore.

- All right, sit down. - Oh, man...

You became so open about it.

Rinko-san! You came...

So forebodings do come true.

That's why I said that this would become annoying.

What's with that girl? Is she also trying to get to Konosuke?

Isn't she trying to get to whomever she can?

Seriously?

Itadakimasu~!

The nimono that Kanoko-san made is really delicious!

To us, it tastes like mom's cooking already.

It reminds me of the food in the dormitory.

Don't be shy and eat a lot.

The Gratin and Bagna Càuda are made by them.

We made the dish that we're the best at.

- I hope you like it. - Should I get you some Bagna Càuda?

By the way, is Gratin and Bagna something Japanese food?

Isn't it?

Oh, this dashimaki looks delicious.

Delicious. It has the taste of the Edo era to it.

Just as I expected from you Kanoko-san. The seasoning is what makes the difference. Right?

- Hey Taiji, can you pass me the nimono? - "Taiji"?

- Aren't you eating too much, Chisato? - "Chisato"?

By the way, which hotel are you guys staying at?

We haven't booked one.

Are you guys backpackers or something?

I think I'll sleep in Chisato-chan's room.

- Please, be my guest. - You know, we already have places

- to stay after all. - Isn't it.

Hey, Tezuka. A moment.

- One moment. - What is it that you want to talk about?

The thing is that we're in training and we can't break the rules.

What?

The kyokan left so fast.

I really wanted to ask him so many questions.

This was a chance for us to be taught by him directly.

But please try and put yourselves in our shoes.

Why do I have to sleep in the room of this weird girl after coming all the way to America?

I think that they are lying about the rules of this dormitory.

Let's sleep.

Hey, should we go to Chisato's room and have some girl talk?

Kanoko-san also looked like she wanted to have another drink.

It's all right. There is no point if Konosuke isn't there.

I'm so tired already, could you turn off the light?

Oh, all right...

Should we at least play some card games?

Goodnight.

That's amazing, Haru-chan.

What? Is she controlling that?

People can change so much.

Who do you think is their instructor?

Chisato-chan was also praising her that she's really putting a lot of effort into this.

By the way, how's Chisato-san doing?

She has done everything perfectly until now.

- She really gets on my nerves. - Hey.

Don't you think that we could also do this if they're able to do it?

I'm starting to feel the same way.

Don't say that nonsense before you got all of this into your head.

- Huh? What's this? - Oh this.

- This is incredible. - What? Do all of them know this?

Yeah. They're in the instrument flight phase right now.

They'll fly by determining the orientation, altitude, pitch and heading by only looking at the instruments.

I don't want you guys to underestimate this.

OK.

Let's put on the hood.

Roger.

Focus on the instruments. Fly to area Delta.

Roger.

You're in a bank angle. Keep it horizontal.

Roger.

Haru, you gonna have to learn to trim when your vision is compromised.

Roger.

Why do we have to fly blindfolded?

Of course, you have to. The only thing you can see is your instruments during night times

and when you're in the clouds anyway.

But not being able to see anything while you're flying is a bit...

There are too many instruments in the first place.

We already have more things to remember because of the extra engine.

You're right. My head is in a panic.

For me, it's the opposite. I'm more calm if I just look at the instruments.

- What? - That's because instruments don't lie.

There's no need to bother with what happens outside of the cockpit.

I'm the same. I can concentrate better when I can't see the outside.

You guys are a bit strange. Right?

Yeah. You should trust your eyes and ears before the instruments.

How are you supposed to trust them in the clouds?

Well...

Try and run for 1 km like this.

- That's impossible. - Isn't it? That's why the instruments are important.

Kazuo, you should try it too. Go on and eat.

Shinozaki-san, you're such a mean person.

You knew that those 3 girls were coming over here, right?

- Oh, really? - Please don't do this to me.

They're all trying their best over here by pushing themselves to the limit.

Could you not come over here?

I don't have time for that. I'm turning 60 next year, right?

I'm busy with things like applying to keep flying until the retirement age. See.

What? Are you planning to fly until you're 65?

- Can't I? - I think that the younger ones aren't able to go up,

because the top doesn't want to move aside.

Please let my fly for a little longer.

Both you and I are defined by us being able to fly.

You're right.

Clearance between the obstacles in V O R

final approach segment is….

Oh, man. Why can't I remember this?

Enter.
