I was getting ready to take my onwings on their fifth familiarization flight. The weather was clear, visibility unrestricted, and the March tem-perature in northwest Florida hadn't yet attainedrnthat oppressive summertime heat. We enjoyedrnone of those "I can't believe I get paid to do this" days.rnI had been an instructor for less than a year and had transitioned from the TH-57G to the TH-57B about five months earlier. I was on my third set of onwings, so I had been doing simulated emergencies and full autos for the past two months straight. Because it was thernfirst day for this set of students to do simulated engine failures at altitude, we spent time working around "tree field," a plowed field about 2,000 by 2,000 feet. We could land there in case the engine didn't come back online after the maneuver.

机译：我正准备进行他们的第五次熟悉飞行。天气晴朗，能见度不受限制，佛罗里达西北部的三月温度尚未达到夏季的闷热。我们很享受那些“我不敢相信自己能为此而得到报酬”的日子。我担任教官不到一年，大约五个月前从TH-57G过渡到TH-57B。我正进行第三次飞行，所以过去两个月来我一直在进行模拟紧急情况和全自动驾驶。因为这是这组学生在高空模拟引擎故障的第一天，所以我们花了一些时间在“树田”周围工作，这是一个约2,000 x 2,000英尺的耕地。我们可以降落在那里，以防发动机在演习后没有恢复在线。
