2013年的冬天，在甘肃海拔3000米左右的雪山区，王佩文飞进了一个并不特别的山窝。进入之前所观察的情况都正常，没想到飞进去仅仅几秒钟，一股极强的下降气流突然出现，王佩文立刻提升发动机功率，但飞机还是止不住往下掉。没有丝毫迟疑，王佩文就做出了判断：增速“脱离”，用损失一定高度的代价换来了宝贵的动能，飞机迅速地冲出了下降气流，避过了这次突如其来的险情。飞到安全地带回过头她再看那个山窝时，气流已经变得异常凶猛。远远地看到山壁上的幼树摇摇欲坠，她顿时后背一紧。“如果当时发现晚一点，或者再多停留几秒钟，飞机持续下降进入深度涡环的话，周围地势复杂，后果不堪设想。”她回忆道。
今天看来，王佩文已经可以从容处理这样的空中险情。然而谁能想到，这位美丽的女孩在成为飞行员之前，曾是一名民航空乘人员。
女孩的天空梦
在王佩文9岁的时候，表哥去济南上大学，她跟着全家人一起去机场送他。正巧看到一队空中乘务员进场，他们的飒爽英姿一下子就打动了她。她指着远远走去的空乘们的身影，对妈妈悄悄地说：“我长大了也想和他们一样。”于是到了上大学的年纪时，她毅然选择了空乘专业。王佩文从中国民航飞行学院毕业后，顺利进了上海一家民用航空公司。因为实现了自己从小的梦想，所以她倾注了格外的热情在工作中。但是渐渐地，当王佩文发现如今文静的工作与自己当初的梦想相去甚远时，就开始有了“为航空事业真正做点事”的心思。
究竟做什么？这个时候，她还没有明确的想法。一次偶然的机会，王佩文认识了韩籍女机长Angel。Angel在成为飞行员之前只是希尔顿酒店的一个前台工作人员，因为所在酒店是与大韩航空对接的过夜酒店，有一天一位女飞行员路过前台把帽子一摘，长发飘起的那一刻，让Angel也想成为那样的飞行员。于是，她鼓起勇气去拜托机长们给她讲解飞行知识、传授飞行经验。经过一系列培训和考核，就有了现在飞行圈里耳熟能详的韩籍女机长的故事。王佩文说她特别认同Angel的一句话：“我很幸运，选择了飞行这样一条大多数女人都不会选择的路。但其实无论以什么样的方式，只要你坚持，那扇窗子之后，总会有好的风景。”一个酒店前台工作人员摇身一变成了中国的外籍女机长，如此励志的经历让此时的王佩文觉得，自己想成为一个飞行者并非不可能。
听别人讲“风景”时只是向往，而当自己看到“风景”的时候，才更容易做决定。有天晚上，王佩文所在的机组要从虹桥机场调空机到浦东机场，王佩文进入驾驶舱，发现夜晚的驾驶舱美得惊人，那种美给了她极大的震撼。当天工作结束回到家里后，她用了整整48个小时进行思考。做了决定之后，她就给她母校的院长打了一个电话。
空中转身
一个电话，清楚了学飞行的条件，也明确了自己对飞行的诉求。2011年8月，王佩文开始了学习驾驶飞机的历程。对于一个离开校园几年时间的女孩来说，重新回到学校学习一个偏理工科的科目时还是有一定难度的，她每天早上7点钟就去图书馆看书，晚上回到宿舍经常打着应急灯学习看到凌晨1点多。就这样，花了5个月时间，王佩文就完成了正常情况下要花2年时间学习的课程。由于她选择学飞的是直升机，所以理论过了之后就被分到中国民航飞行学院新津分院进行实践。当年正好新津分院成立了直升机大队，迎来了第一批直升机自费生，所以有很多企业家和航空爱好者都自费来学习私照或者商照，也就是这个时候，王佩文结识了很多师兄弟，后来也和这些人成为了朋友。
在新津分院学习飞行的时候，虽然身为女性，但王佩文却丝毫不输男性学员。凭借超高的悟性，王佩文成为了当时飞行学院“贝尔组”第一个单飞的女学员。在她学飞的过程中，大多时都是顺利的，但也曾有一次危险的失误让王佩文记忆犹新。那是她第一次被放“单人单飞”，其实就是在旁边座位上放上沙袋来代替真人。由于经验不足，起飞之前她并没有检查清楚飞机上所有的仪器，也恰恰在那一次，驾驶杆没有处在正常位置。当她上机之后，直接就上提桨矩。然而，由于驾驶杆并没有处在正常位置，随着功率的增大，整个飞机的拉力就迅速向着驾驶杆的方向偏移。所以飞机一起来，就开始向后仰，尾桨差点就打到地面。幸亏技术指挥员发现后用无线电提醒她向前稳杆，才避免了更大危险的出现。那一次险情之后，王佩文在自己的飞行笔记上写道：“只有保持安全记录的飞行员，才是真正优秀的飞行员。”
完成整体训练大纲后，王佩文顺利拿通过实践考试，成为了一名职业直升机飞行员。而她个人，也实现了一次华丽的“空中转身”。正如她之前所说，若心中有蓝天，必定能翱翔。
一飞难停
“自从飞起来之后，就很难停下来了。”王佩文讲道。就在去年，她进行了一次让自己备感自豪的飞行。当时任务要求她用两天时间经停两个机场把飞机从甘肃飞到北京，而跟她搭档的是一个刚刚“军转民”的机长。“他的飞行技术很厉害，但对民航规则相对没有那么熟悉。”王佩文介绍道。
在这次这次任务中，王佩文虽然是副驾驶，但是肩膀上的担子却不轻。飞行到最后一天，飞机要从包头回北京，因为当地机场有活动所以他们不得不一直在机场待命。冬天的白昼格外短，而他们必须在日落前到北京，最初的计划是14点30分起飞，可是直到15点机场还不放飞。这个时候正好起风了，是从包头到北京的大顺风。“站调当时问我最晚什么时候起飞，算了风速之后我告诉他们最晚15点40分飞。”她回忆当时的情景时说道。飞机最后在15点40分准时起飞，在大顺风的“帮助”下，王佩文和机长顺利在日落前把飞机开回了北京。也许这不是多大的一件事，但是让她感受到了很强的存在感，更加有动力飞下去。
王佩文是一个爱“臭美”的女生，但因为直升机大多都是全景天窗，一旦飞行就要接受阳光直射的“洗礼”，所以她不得不接受晒黑的“事实”。“单发直升机”大部分是没有空调的，夏天座舱里温度达到40摄氏度是经常的事，满身汗味她也不得不接受。有一次她回北京，凌晨3点落地，拖着大行李箱坐出租车回家，司机看她一副离家很久的样子，就随口问她：“你想家吗？”她只答了一个字：“想。”“那一刻我觉得挺孤单的，但这就是我选择的路，因为热爱，所以习惯了就好。” 热爱让王佩文飞得畅快，乐趣也让王佩文越来越热爱飞行。“飞行对我来说是一件很好玩的事情。飞之前，我要自己看天气，判断云高、风速、风向、能见度，自己看地图，自己量坐标点，算油量，算重量平衡，算地速。和民航比起来，我飞得会比较‘原始’一点，但乐趣也就在这。”
对于飞了没多久的王佩文来说，飞是一个梦想，也是一个希望。在她的心里，飞机像她的翅膀，可以带着她翱翔。在采访的最后，王佩文告诉笔者：“我希望一直待在这个圈子里。即使未来飞不了了，就想当一名教员，因为能和爱飞行的人聊聊，也很快乐。”
It was winter of 2013. Wang Peiwen was flying through the snow mountains of Ganshu Province 3，000 meters above sea level when she came to this seemingly normal valley. Nothing unusual was observed beforehand， but seconds after she flew in， a strong downward torrent appeared out of nowhere. She instantly increased engine output， but could not stop the aircraft from falling. Without hesitation， she decided to gain speed and "detach" from the torrent by sacrificing certain altitude for precious momentum. She pulled out of the upcoming danger in time， and as she looked back， a chill went up her spine as she saw saplings on the cliffs shaking precariously in the intensified torrent. She recalled，“If I came to the situation a little bit slower， or stayed there for several more seconds， the aircraft would be dragged into the air toque. Considering the complex terrain， the consequences would be disastrous.”
Wang Peiwen has become a resourceful pilot today， but who could have imagined， that this beautiful girl used to an airline stewardess.
Flying Dream
When she was 9 years old and went with her family to see her cousin off at an airport， a file of air stewardess arriving at the airport caught her attention. Impressed with admiration， she whispered to her mother， “When I grow up， I want to be one of them.” By the time she went to college， she applied for the Cabin Stewardess Major without a second thought. After graduation， she went on to work in a private airline in Shanghai. A childhood dream coming true， Wang Peiwei was fully devoted to the job. But as time went on， she felt that the reality was a far cry from her dream. She started to consider “doing something meaningful for aviation.”
But doing what？ She had no clue， not until she came to know a South Korean female captain， Angel Zo. Before becoming a pilot， Angel was a receptionist at a Hilton Hotel where the crews of Korean Airlines stay. But one day， seeing a female pilot removed her cap and let her hair flow in front her， she decided that she wanted to be a pilot just like that. She summoned all her courage to seek knowledge and experience from the pilots， and after a series of training and examination， she made it. Wang Peiwen finds her expression in Angel's words. “She is fortunate to choose a road most women would not consider. But whichever road you take， as long as you are committed， you will find a better view behind the window.” A hotel receptionist could turn to a pilot- such inspiring story convinced her that it is not impossible for her to become a pilot. Hearing the "views" of others may inspire admiration， but seeing the "view" for yourself is what helps you make up your mind. During a ferry flight from Hongqiao airport to the nearby Pudong airport， she went into the cockpit， and was awe struck by the beauty of the night sky. After returning home， she thought for 48 hours， and decided to make a call to the President of her graduating university.
From Cabin to Cockpit
Learning about the requirements for pilot training through that call， she was more determined to her pursuit of the flying dream. In August 2011， she embarked on her training journey. For a girl who had left the campus for years， it is not an easy job to catch up on the science courses. Each day， she would go to study at the library at 7 am and study with an emergency lamp after the dorm light is out until 1 am. In 5 months， she completed the theory courses which would normally take 2 years. Majoring in helicopter， she was assigned to the Xinjin Campus of the Civil Aviation Flight University of China （CAFUC） for on-the-aircraft training， which just welcomed its new helicopter fleet and the first group of self-funded students， including entrepreneurs and flying enthusiasts， with whom Wang Peiwen had made a lot of friends.
As a female， she performed as well as any male trainee. She was the first female pilot to fly solo in her Bell Team. The training went on smoothly for her most of the time， but there was one incident that Wang Peiwen still remembers to this day. It was her first “solo flight”， meaning seating beside her was a sandbag instead of her instructor. For lack of experience， she forgot to check the instruments before taking off， as you could guess， the control stick happened to be in the wrong position. She climbed up， increased pitch， and pulled the helicopter up. But because the control stick was in a backward position， the helicopter was quickly pulled tail down， nearly hitting the ground. Luckily， her instructor warned her in time to push the control stick forward， and prevented bigger danger. After that incident， she wrote on her flying log， “Only pilots who keep sound safety records are really outstanding pilots.”
Following the training program， she passed the flying test， and became a professional helicopter pilot， successfully moving from the cabin to cockpit. As she said， if your ambition is in the blue sky， pursue it and you will be able to fly.
An Ongoing Journey
"Once you started to fly， you would not want to stop"， said Wang Peiwen. Last year， she completed a proud mission - flying a helicopter from Ganshu to Beijing with two stopovers. Her partner is a military turned civilian captain. “He had amazing skills， only not quite family with civil aviation regulations." Although she was co-pilot in this mission， her task is not easy. At the last day of the mission， they had to fly the helicopter from Baotou to Beijing. Daytime in winter is short， and they must arrive at Beijing before sunset. But because the Baotou airport is occupied， they had to stay on hold. Their original plan was to depart at 2pm， but they were not allowed to take off until 3pm. But just before they depart， a heavy wind struck the airport. It was tailwind for their flight. “When the control tower asked when can we take off， I calculated the wind speed， and replied， no later than 3：40.” They took off at the exact time as she estimated， and with the "help" of the tailwind， they managed to arrive at Beijing before sunset. It may not sound like a big deal， but she was motivated by the responsibility and trust put in her.
Wang Peiwen loves to keep beautiful， but she had to live with the “reality” of being suntanned， because every time she fly， she would be bathed in sunlight coming through the panoramic cockpit of most helicopters. Another nuisance she had to bear with is the sweat， as most single engine helicopters have no air-conditioning in the cockpit， the temperature of which could easily exceed 40 degrees Celsius in summer. Once， she landed in Beijing at 3 am. When she pulled her luggage to a taxi， the driver， guessing that she must have been out of home for a while， asked her "do you miss home". "Yes" she replied. "At that moment， I felt so lonely， but this is the road I choose， out of love， sooner or later I will get used to it."
She enjoys flying， not just out of passion， but also for the fun. "Flying is fun. Before I fly， I would check the weather and calculate the altitude of clouds， wind speed， wind direction， and visibility. I would study maps， measure coordinates， and calculate fuel， weight & balance， and low speed. Compared with civil aviation， my job is quite primeval， but that is fun part."
Still a new hand， flying is and will remain to be the dream and hope for Wang Peiwen. Deep inside， she looked at aircraft as her wings which flies her around. At the end of the interview， she told U-Jet， "I hope to stay in this circle. When I can't fly anymore， I want to be an instructor， just so I can talk with people who love flying."
今天看来，王佩文已经可以从容处理这样的空中险情。然而谁能想到，这位美丽的女孩在成为飞行员之前，曾是一名民航空乘人员。
女孩的天空梦
在王佩文9岁的时候，表哥去济南上大学，她跟着全家人一起去机场送他。正巧看到一队空中乘务员进场，他们的飒爽英姿一下子就打动了她。她指着远远走去的空乘们的身影，对妈妈悄悄地说：“我长大了也想和他们一样。”于是到了上大学的年纪时，她毅然选择了空乘专业。王佩文从中国民航飞行学院毕业后，顺利进了上海一家民用航空公司。因为实现了自己从小的梦想，所以她倾注了格外的热情在工作中。但是渐渐地，当王佩文发现如今文静的工作与自己当初的梦想相去甚远时，就开始有了“为航空事业真正做点事”的心思。
究竟做什么？这个时候，她还没有明确的想法。一次偶然的机会，王佩文认识了韩籍女机长Angel。Angel在成为飞行员之前只是希尔顿酒店的一个前台工作人员，因为所在酒店是与大韩航空对接的过夜酒店，有一天一位女飞行员路过前台把帽子一摘，长发飘起的那一刻，让Angel也想成为那样的飞行员。于是，她鼓起勇气去拜托机长们给她讲解飞行知识、传授飞行经验。经过一系列培训和考核，就有了现在飞行圈里耳熟能详的韩籍女机长的故事。王佩文说她特别认同Angel的一句话：“我很幸运，选择了飞行这样一条大多数女人都不会选择的路。但其实无论以什么样的方式，只要你坚持，那扇窗子之后，总会有好的风景。”一个酒店前台工作人员摇身一变成了中国的外籍女机长，如此励志的经历让此时的王佩文觉得，自己想成为一个飞行者并非不可能。
听别人讲“风景”时只是向往，而当自己看到“风景”的时候，才更容易做决定。有天晚上，王佩文所在的机组要从虹桥机场调空机到浦东机场，王佩文进入驾驶舱，发现夜晚的驾驶舱美得惊人，那种美给了她极大的震撼。当天工作结束回到家里后，她用了整整48个小时进行思考。做了决定之后，她就给她母校的院长打了一个电话。
空中转身
一个电话，清楚了学飞行的条件，也明确了自己对飞行的诉求。2011年8月，王佩文开始了学习驾驶飞机的历程。对于一个离开校园几年时间的女孩来说，重新回到学校学习一个偏理工科的科目时还是有一定难度的，她每天早上7点钟就去图书馆看书，晚上回到宿舍经常打着应急灯学习看到凌晨1点多。就这样，花了5个月时间，王佩文就完成了正常情况下要花2年时间学习的课程。由于她选择学飞的是直升机，所以理论过了之后就被分到中国民航飞行学院新津分院进行实践。当年正好新津分院成立了直升机大队，迎来了第一批直升机自费生，所以有很多企业家和航空爱好者都自费来学习私照或者商照，也就是这个时候，王佩文结识了很多师兄弟，后来也和这些人成为了朋友。
在新津分院学习飞行的时候，虽然身为女性，但王佩文却丝毫不输男性学员。凭借超高的悟性，王佩文成为了当时飞行学院“贝尔组”第一个单飞的女学员。在她学飞的过程中，大多时都是顺利的，但也曾有一次危险的失误让王佩文记忆犹新。那是她第一次被放“单人单飞”，其实就是在旁边座位上放上沙袋来代替真人。由于经验不足，起飞之前她并没有检查清楚飞机上所有的仪器，也恰恰在那一次，驾驶杆没有处在正常位置。当她上机之后，直接就上提桨矩。然而，由于驾驶杆并没有处在正常位置，随着功率的增大，整个飞机的拉力就迅速向着驾驶杆的方向偏移。所以飞机一起来，就开始向后仰，尾桨差点就打到地面。幸亏技术指挥员发现后用无线电提醒她向前稳杆，才避免了更大危险的出现。那一次险情之后，王佩文在自己的飞行笔记上写道：“只有保持安全记录的飞行员，才是真正优秀的飞行员。”
完成整体训练大纲后，王佩文顺利拿通过实践考试，成为了一名职业直升机飞行员。而她个人，也实现了一次华丽的“空中转身”。正如她之前所说，若心中有蓝天，必定能翱翔。
一飞难停
“自从飞起来之后，就很难停下来了。”王佩文讲道。就在去年，她进行了一次让自己备感自豪的飞行。当时任务要求她用两天时间经停两个机场把飞机从甘肃飞到北京，而跟她搭档的是一个刚刚“军转民”的机长。“他的飞行技术很厉害，但对民航规则相对没有那么熟悉。”王佩文介绍道。

王佩文是一个爱“臭美”的女生，但因为直升机大多都是全景天窗，一旦飞行就要接受阳光直射的“洗礼”，所以她不得不接受晒黑的“事实”。“单发直升机”大部分是没有空调的，夏天座舱里温度达到40摄氏度是经常的事，满身汗味她也不得不接受。有一次她回北京，凌晨3点落地，拖着大行李箱坐出租车回家，司机看她一副离家很久的样子，就随口问她：“你想家吗？”她只答了一个字：“想。”“那一刻我觉得挺孤单的，但这就是我选择的路，因为热爱，所以习惯了就好。” 热爱让王佩文飞得畅快，乐趣也让王佩文越来越热爱飞行。“飞行对我来说是一件很好玩的事情。飞之前，我要自己看天气，判断云高、风速、风向、能见度，自己看地图，自己量坐标点，算油量，算重量平衡，算地速。和民航比起来，我飞得会比较‘原始’一点，但乐趣也就在这。”
