They probably drank too much at the goodbye party.
This is the last call for passengers boarding ANA flight 12 to Chicago.
Passengers for this flight, please make your way to gate 54.
Thank you.
Paging a passenger.
Tezuka Haru
Tezuka Haru-sama, Tezuka Haru-sama boarding ANA flight 12.
Please make your way to gate 54 as fast as possible.
All right, I'm getting on. I'm getting on...
The following is an announcement for a lost person.
A girl around her twenties has been left behind...
I'll wake up!
Did you know that long distance relationships
aren't just all bad things? You fight less and
- it's refreshing when you do meet. - Is that so?
You don't have to worry. I'll save up in the mean time.
I'm sorry but I have no idea what you're saying.
I'll be all right. I won't loose to Oda-san.
Um... I have even less of a clue what you're talking about.
In any case, you definitely have to become a pilot.
All right!
I took my medicine for motion sickness.
I also didn't forget anything so please don't worry.
No, you don't have to pass the phone to jiichan!
Jiichan means grandpa. It's a frank way to say ojiisan.
I got it, I got it, I got it. Bye.
My parents always worry so much.
They're making such a big deal out of it. The only thing that's going to change is
- the location of training from Haneda to America, right? - Well...
- Do your best from starting tomorrow. - Thank you.
You came Rinko-san!
Of course I did, this is my workplace after all.
I'm so happy that you came here to especially say goodbye.
Don't you get tired from acting like that? By the way, where's Konosuke?
I easily get lonely
so I might send you a hand-drawn postcard when I get homesick.
- A hand-drawn postcard? - Yes.
Oh, come to think of it. Did we exchange contacts addresses?
Not yet...
Could you tell me your home address? I'll send you one.
Hold on... We could also email with each other.
- Could you tell me your email address then? - All right.
Hey! Don't start with getting different leads.
Don't suddenly approach me from behind.
- Thank you for your work. - Please excuse me.
Huh? Hey...
America is the land of the free after all.
So does that mean that you're free to be with any woman you want?
Don't say such stupid things.
I'll be living together with the trainees over there.
- I won't be able to do anything like that. - Is that so~
- So you'll be together in the same house as Tezuka and the others. -Listen, I'm their kyokan.
So?
All right everyone, gather around!
Rinko-san!
There will be a training waiting for you that'll be tougher
than you can imagine in the coming one and a half years.
Trust in Kunikida-kun, your kyokan, no matter what happens.
You'll go talk to Kunikida-kun right away if you find yourself in a unforeseen circumstance.
You'll get through this together with Kunikida-kun...
- You're pushing too much responsibility on me! - Really?
In any case, do your best.
Yes.
It's almost time so we'll hand you your boarding pass one by one.
Please.
- Do your best dad. - All right.
- Have a good flight. - Kuni.
- I'm counting on you. - All right.
Hey, if I'm not mistaken, the seats for the flights to
North America will go fully flat so that you can lie down, right?
That's business class. We're flying economy.
- Really? - Of course, there's no way that would happen.
- Do your best. - Thank you very much.
Do your best.
I'll be all right.
All right.
- Um... - Huh?
Could you let go of my hand?
Oh... I'm sorry.
Sexual harassment?
Tezuka, do you believe in miracles?
- Miracles? - I want to believe in miracles.
- What? - Do your best.
Oh... All right. I'll do my best!
- Thank you for waiting. - Thank you.
Cheers.
- I would've liked to have a beer. - The kyokan is just in front of us.
We're not going there for fun, you idiot.
But this finally means that we can say goodbye to the ground duties.
- Don't you mean "from Suzu-chan"? - What?
Oh man, this means farewell to Japan.
It's not like you'll be spending the rest of your life in America.
What should I do? I think that I might be already homesick.
What should I do? What should I do? What should I do...
I'm sorry but may I sleep?
Is it your first time going abroad?
- Yes, it is. - That's a rare thing nowadays.
- Are you going to America for work? - Yes.
- I'm going there for job training. - Oh.
That's great. What are you training for?
- A pilot. - What?
I'm going to become a pilot in America.
Oh.
2012 February 9 Grand Forks, North Dakota
Wow, it's so huge!
I don't really know what it is but it's amazing!
North Dakota, we have come!
It's the university that you'll be attending starting tomorrow.
You guys shouldn't be surprised by these kind of things every time.
Everything is big in this country.
Let's first of all take a picture.
- You're right. - Let's line up!
We're going to come here everyday starting tomorrow anyway.
You should go along with this!
Don't try to get out of this!
Could you take it?
- Me? - Press here.
Hurry up and line up.
All right then. North?
Dakota!
Have fun in Grand Forks.
What are we supposed to do with all this luggage!
Grand Forks!
- We're going to carry it in. - All right.
Guys are on the right and the girls are on the left.
- Are guys and girls separated? - Of course.
Hurry up and carry it in. Ouch! You idiot.
Thank you.
All right. Everybody gather around!
- Wow! - It's so much space!
Oh, so the insides are connected.
- All right! - Huh? What's going on?
This sofa is so huge!
- Me too! - It's spinning!
You idiots! Don't get so excited. Gather around here.
Hurry up!
This is the mission that's assigned to you guys.
After every phase of training there'll be a test to evaluate your progress.
I think that you guys already know
but every person only has two chances to pass the test.
By the way, what will happen if you fail the test
- two times in a row? - You'll be sent back to Japan.
How long before you can come back here again?
Don't misunderstand the situation. Being sent back to Japan
means that you can't become a pilot anymore.
What?
You'll be determined unfit to become a pilot
and thus be transferred to a different department within the company.
So... for instance as ground staff?
There's also the possibility of maintenance staff.
I don't have confidence in attending people.
I have even less confidence in craftsmanship work.
It means that you should do your best as if your life depends on it.
Listen carefully, the motto is "We will all pass".
We're not paying you a high salary to have you drop out.
The goal is for everyone of you to become a pilot.
- What's the motto? - Huh?
What?
"We will all pass"?
Oh, right.
Oh, well. In any case,
you should all work together to get through this.
Over here, everything will be a joint responsibility. Don't rely on me every time.
Especially the buddies should help each other. Do you understand?
- Yes. - See you then.
Huh? Are you not going to stay in this house?
Do you really think that I could live together with kids like you guys?
He's a living example of being irresponsible.
But don't you think it's too severe to be transfered to a different department?
I'm so thirsty. Is the kitchen this way?
Me too.
Wow, what's this!?
- Wow! - What's the matter?
Wow!
- Oh, that's right. - Wow!
I forgot about him. This is Roy.
He'll be taking care of you guys. He'll also cook for you guys.
You're welcome.
We didn't say anything yet.
Oh, man. I can't sleep because I'm too excited.
I told you to knock first every time.
I'm sorry. Should we get everyone together
- and play card games? - This is not a field trip.
Judging by the textbook in front of you.
I think you also couldn't sleep, Chisato.
Why are you calling me with yobisute?
Yobisute is a way of calling someone's name without putting -san -sama or any other form of honorific behind someone's name. It's considered rude unless you're good friends with that person.
- But we're in America. - We're Japanese.
But we'll be calling our instructors by their first name.
- So we decided to also do it with each other. - I don't like to do those kind of things.
I beg you, please get out of here because I want to prepare for tomorrow.
Oh man, you're so boring~
Good night, Chisato.
Stop it.
OK, ladies and gentlemen. Today, you will be practicing stall recoveries.
OK now, if you fail to recover you will go into a spin.
OK? When you are in a spin. You want to apply full opposite rudder until the spin stops.
Then pull the column, add power to level the fight.
OK?
Are there any questions so far?
- I have a question. - OK.
Which factor should be considered first in recovery from a stall,
airspeed or altitude?
That's a good question.
Airspeed is priority.
If we do not have enough airspeed during our recovery then we'll turn into another spin.
There's a individual name for each training area.
Starting in the north side, area Alpha, area Bravo...
- Excuse me. - Shoot.
I have a question.
Why do you call it "Alpha"?
- No particular reason. - What do you mean with "No reason"?
It's just what it's been called for years.
Who cares about that?
Area Charlie, area Delta...
All right. Start.
2012 April 9 Written Exam Before Flight Training
- It's done. - So we have passed
- the first hurdle for now. - I really thought I wouldn't make it.
Me too. For me, most of it was just guessing.
You two barely made it.
Your buddies should accompany you while studying individually.
- All right. - All right.
Gather at the airport at 6:30 tomorrow morning. Don't be late.
All right.
- Huh? Did he just say "Airport"? - So does that mean...?
- So does that mean that we can finally do this? - Can we go flying?
Yeah~!
Hey... hey Tezuka!
We have to go back and study! Oh man...
How long are those guys going to be like that.
Wow~ Amazing.
- Wow! - This is amazing!
Amazing, this makes me so excited!
- There are so many foreigners here. - You're the foreigner.
- Wow! It's a Curtiss "Jenny". - You're right!
- This is so well made. - Hey! Aren't those our senpai?
They all look so good.
It means that we'll also look like them by the time we graduate.
As long as nobody drops out.
Don't talk like you're trying to pick a fight.
Are you Kunikida's students?
Yes, we are.
Hey, stop taking pictures. We're being called.
Please head upstairs to the locker rooms.
Inside the locker rooms you'll find your uniform which you will then change into
and meet your instructor at the end of the runway.
Bathrooms are at the end of the hallway and the store closes at 5. Do you have any questions?
No, thank you.
Oh, um... upstairs? Thank you.
2012 April 11 First Day of Flight Training
We're finally going to start with flight training in actual airplanes starting today.
They are your instructors.
From this side it's John, Keith and Erick.
From now on ask anything you don't understand to them.
See you.
Hey, wait one moment.
- What is it? - Where are you going?
- I can go where ever I want to go. - Yes, but...
- You can't just leave us behind so suddenly. - You guys shouldn't be
- scared so easily. - But
- if everything is in English all of a sudden... - I'm worried.
Oh man, all right then.
I'll teach you guys just this one thing in case of an emergency.
- Please. - Listen carefully.
"Say again".
- Excuse me? - What?
Do you want us to ask them to repeat it?
Keep saying that when you don't understand them.
They'll explain it to you until you understand it. Bye.
OK, let's fly.
Fly? You mean now?
Of course, what else did you come here for?
Are you serious...
- It's going to be all right, right? - I can't breath.
I... I'm sorry.
OK, Maya. Let's go.
O... OK.
Hey, this guy is getting so close to me.
Just concentrate please.
What's she doing?
What's going on?
Start the engine.
Hey! Can you hear me?
- Excuse me? - Start the engine. Let's go.
Say again.
- Is she really a trainee? - Sorry.
The engine Tezuka, the engine.
Oh... the engine.
Wow!
Hey... why would you turn it off.
We've got a limited amount of time on the runway.
We need to go now.
Say again.
Hurry up!
Let's go!
Say again!
What's wrong with her?
We have to go and take-off Tezuka.
Can I ask one question before that?
What?
May I go to the bathroom?
Where do you think you're going?
- Use your rudder. Go Straight. - Say again.
You'll be able to catch what he is saying if you calm down.
Straight ahead. Straight.
Straight? OK, OK.
All right, let her rip. Full throttle. Let's go.
Huh? What?
- Calm down! - Pull the column!
Say again...
Haru, this is a plane.
If you want to be a pilot, fly it!
How do you say "fly" in Japanese?
"Tobe".
- Tobe. - What?
- Tobe! - Oh... All right!
It's flying!
All right, level off.
And let's hold this altitude for a while.
Roger.
How?
Can I ask you how many times you've flown before?
- Of course, this was my first time. - Oh, come on.
You flew before, haven't you?
- I haven't. Why are you saying that? - Are you kidding me?
How come you're able to fly so well if that was your first time?
- That's not normal. - Hey Tezuka, Oda.
- You guys will stay behind for a lecture. - Excuse me?
How many people do you think were kept on hold because of her?
The runway is not just there for you guys.
- I'm sorry. - Do I also have to stay behind?
Of course, you're her buddy.
I have no idea how many times she said "Say again".
I felt so bad for the instructor.
Thank you.
That's because my mind went all blank.
I also have no recollection of how I flew.
Even though I prepared so well for this.
Hey guys... Don't you think this meat is too big?
I'm getting bored with eating meat everyday.
Do you think that he's thinking about food balance?
He probably doesn't know about chilled tomatoes.
Stop complaining and hurry up with the eating.
They say "You should conform to the custom of the country", right?
But the steaks over here tastes really good.
- Yes, they do. - Is it all the same for you as long as you can eat it?
Hey Roy!
What are you doing? Don't do it...
We're Japanese. We need vegetables.
- Vegetables please. - OK.
- Really?
- Wow~! - You're amazing!
You should clearly say what you want towards Americans.
I wonder if I'll get through the training?
I'm starting to get worried again.
Worried or not. All you can do is to do it now that you're here.
We're going to study once we finished eating.
What's this?
Vegetables.
That looks delicious. Itadakimasu.
It tastes really good. Good job.
You're in a bank angle. Keep it level with the horizon.
It's level with the horizon.
It's leaning.
Look straight ahead and line up the cowling with the horizon.
- Adjust the trim Tezuka. - Be quiet! You're an observer.
I need her to learn this until it becomes automatic.
I'm sorry.
Wow, wow wow wow. What are you doing?
You're descending.
I'm sorry. It started to descend while I was looking at the horizon...
Chisato, sorry
but we're gonna need to concentrate on her today otherwise we're gonna get way behind.
What?
I's not a toy, man.
You make a mistake behind the stick and people die.
- Do you wanna die? - Take it easy.
- I don't wanna die. - Erick.
- I don't want to be heard about it. - Erick.
- It will be fine. - It's not gonna be all fine.
- But isn't that... - I know her. I know her.
Hey you...
I didn't expect you to naturally be able to do it.
But can't you do something about this?
Do something...
Erick is saying that he doesn't know what to do with you.
Um... That instructor
is really only tough towards me. Just now he grabbed my collar
- like this... - What do you think you're doing?
There won't be anybody grabbing you by the collar once you do a solo flight.
What will happen to you then?
You were so good in the simulator.
Why can't you even do a simple flight like this.
There's too much that goes through my head when I get into the cockpit.
What can I do?
- How should I know? I'm a genius after all. - Then how can I become a genius?
- Do you want to know? - Very much.
- I won't do it. It's so uncool to say it. - What? Please tell me.
- Will you not tell anyone no matter what? - I won't.
Really?
Do your best now that you know. All right?
Hey Chisato.
Apparently the thing that is need to become a genius is effort.
- Hey! You idiot... - The kyokan used to be...
Don't announce it right away. You must be kidding me!
Ouch! Don't bite... Don't listen Oda. Don't listen!
You idiot.
Thank you for your efforts!
So Oda-san didn't come in the end.
And tomorrow is our day off, after all.
- She said that she wanted to study over today's stuff. - We would all like to do that.
She is so much more determined since we came here.
She's so far ahead of us that we can't even see her back anymore.
But I'm a little bit worried about her.
You have to blow off some steam on occasions otherwise
even Chisato won't keep it together.
Hey, did you just call her with yobisute?
- She isn't here after all. - I won't be able to do that.
I think that she's aiming for a perfect score.
- A perfect score? - Apparently there's someone that achieves that once every 10 years.
A person that makes no mistakes in every test and achieves the highest possible score.
Kunikida-san is the last person to achieve that, right?
That's amazing.
It's been a while. How are thing over there? Are things going as planned?
Of course things aren't going as planned.
There's one person that's behind as expected.
If things continue like this then she'll be definitely out.
Don't say that. Please do your best.
By the way.
We went to that golf course in Kumamoto the other day, right? What was the name of that golf course again?
That was in Miyazaki, not Kumamoto.
- In Miyazaki? - We saw players from the giants
eating in the clubhouse, right?
Oh, now I remember. You got their autographs, right?
- Yes. - So it was Miyazaki.
I'm sorry. I'll email you the mailing address later.
Weren't you guys going out for a drink?
- I don't have the time to do that. - That's not true.
- You should go and blow off some... - Please change my buddy.
- What do you think you're saying? - How many minutes of flight time
do you think I had today? Just 30 minutes.
That's because all the time went to Tezuka's flight.
If she's like this, it'll be the same tomorrow
- and the day after tomorrow. - Then you should just
- assist her more... - I am.
I can't do this anymore.
Don't give me that serious look.
To me it doesn't look like you're able to do everything perfectly either.
Tezuka might be really bad at controlling an airplane but she also has good attributes.
- As buddies you have to cover for each others weaknesses... - There's nothing that I can learn from Tezuka.
Hey... can I ask you something?
What is it?
Could you hand over the controls to Tezuka
If you and her would fly together?
Of course not.
Is that so.
Then there's nothing else to do for Tezuka but to give up.
- What? - Of course that's the case.
There is no doubt that she'll drop out
if she would even get deserted by the most capable person of the team.
You're all right with that, right?
- I didn't say that. - Then do something about this.
I thought that you were the only one that could bring her up.
That's why I made her your buddy.
So does that mean that I put too much faith in you?
No... I'm sorry.
Please excuse me.
Just as I expected.
Wow!
I was correct in handing them to you.
Are you serious? Is your instructor gay?
Yeah, he keeps looking at him the whole time.
I seriously can't concentrate during the flight.
- Wow! You scared me! - Hey, Chisato! Did you finish studying?
- Beer. - Oh... all right.
So you don't get mad when called with yobisute.
- It's not such a big deal. - This is America after all.
So now that Oda... I mean, now that Chisato is here.
- Let's have a toast! - Yes, let's.
- All right. - Cheers!
Wow~
Seriously?
- Wow. - Seriously?
That's amazing.
- Are ready for what's to come. - What?
I expect you to become a pilot no matter what.
Oh... all right.
- One more. - That was quick.
Huh? What?
Hurry up and get dressed. Let's go.
- Where are we going? - For a run.
To where?
All right...
I'm sorry but why are we running again?
Haru, you don't have the basic physical fitness.
That's why you get pulled by the control column.
In any case, we're going to run every morning.
Every morning? I cant believe this.
That's all right. We're going to increase the tempo.
Huh? Did you just call me Haru?
You did, didn't you?
Hey, wait for me.
Repeat the words like a parrot?
That's right. You repeat everything that the instructor and the control tower tells you
and with every move you make you'll say it out loud.
That way you can stay calm and composed while controlling the airplane.
- Really? - Let's do this.
Right turn to heading 270.
- All right~ - Don't say "All right".
Repeat what I said.
Oh...
Right turn to heading 270.
Increase speed to 100 knots.
Roger.
Um...
Increase speed to 100 knots.
- Don't just say it, move your hands at the same time. - Don't just say it, move your hands at the same time.
- Haru. - All right.
Aren't you guys going to parties every night?
We don't have time for that, there's even less time for ourselves than we had in Japan.
Long time no see Rinko-san.
Oh, Yamamura-kun, are you doing all right?
It's Yamada.
By the way, where is Shinosuke? Wasn't he living together with you guys?
No, the kyokan is staying somewhere else.
He lied to me. I'm going home.
What?
Are you eating properly Kotori-kun?
I'm eating so much over here. I've gained 2 kg over here.
That might be a shock to me.
Does the food over there taste better than mine?
- That's not what I meant... - Haru!
Oh, man. She's slacking off when you leave her alone for a bit.
What's going on? Did something happen?
"I'm sure that you can fly..."
She's singing "Sora mo toberu hazu" from the band "Spitz". The title literally translates to "You'll be able to fly in the sky"
You're taking too long!
- What? - How many hours are you going to spend in there?
We're wasting time to study while you're in there.
Do you understand that?
Yes, I do. I'll be out right away.
Oh, man...
"I'm sure that you're free to..."
All right, I'm getting out...
Think of this field as the sky above the airport.
All right. Altitude 2000 feet.
Speed 90 knots. Check level off.
It's almost the last turn. At which point on the ground do you do that?
I'll start turning the airplane, around the time when I cross the river.
That's right.
- All right, you've crossed it. - Turn left.
Stop.
You return the control column to normal when you see the runway at a 45-degree angle to the back left of you.
Remember this view.
All right.
Start.
Returning the control column to normal.
What you see in front of you then is the next checkpoint.
- Got it? - Yes.
I see.
- Haru. - Yes.
It's zero point seven from here to you.
You're in a position where you see the runway right in front of you.
Remember this view.
Understood.
Then start running.
- What? - Hurry up.
It's so far away...
Stop.
That's halfway until the touchdown point.
Altitude 100. Try to visualize the distance and altitude.
All right, I got it.
Start running then.
You're flying quite low already but you don't pull on the control column yet.
You always make a hard landing because you pull on it too early.
All right.
Altitude 50 feet.
All right.
10 feet.
Try to remember the height as if you're on a second floor.
Now you use the control column to slowly increase the pitch.
Increasing pitch.
5.
Almost there.
Touchdown.
This is too much.
All right, now let's do it once more
- from the opposite approach course. - Why?
The approach changes depending on wind direction, right?
2012 May 28
Return the control column to normal when you see the runway at a 45-degree angle to the back left of you.
This is it.
She has improved a lot.
She must have a good teacher, yeah?
Of course.
Traffic. Traffic.
What's this?
November 524 November Delta.
Traffic at 10 o'clock, 5 miles, north bound at 5000.
Report traffic in sight.
Over there.
Um... What should I do...
Radar, we have traffic in sight.
- We will turn around. - Roger that.
It's heading this way, isn't it?
What should I do?
Calm down, we still have enough distance. Turn to the right.
This is what they call a near miss, isn't it? It's a near miss, isn't it?
We have enough distance between us to avoid a near miss.
Turn to the right.
All right.
That's left.
I'm sorry!
Just calm down!
You're flying a little bit rough. Just try to keep it level!
OK.
Chisato, maybe you should have taught her right from left first.
- What happened? - We had traffic.
I told her to bank right but she whips to the left, yanks it back
and in the back it was a scream like there was some sort of eight year old girl back there.
Finished. What are we going to practice today?
Don't tell me that we're going to run on the runway again.
- Let's finish for today. - Is that all right?
- I also want to rest for a change. - Understood.
- I finished. - Oh, all right.
We'll be waiting outside.
Hey, how are things going?
- Haru is improving slowly... - I'm not talking about her.
I'm talking about you.
Me? I'm doing all right.
There are people who say that those who say those kinds of things are the ones that will become the worst.
- If there's something bothering you... - I'll be all right.
I won't let you down so you don't have to worry.
"Hi mom, Next week we're finally doing solo flights. I'm going to control an airplane by myself. Isn't that amazing? Haru"
That's a pilot's badge, isn't it?
- What are you doing here? - I'm sorry, I heard noises.
You said that you flew for the first time
but in reality you've flown before, haven't you?
- I haven't. - You don't have to hide it from me.
- Where did you fly to get that badge? - I told you that that's not it.
I got this from my father.
What? Is your father a pilot? That's the first time I heard that.
My parents got divorced when I was in primary school.
I went together with my mother.
I haven't had contact with my father since.
Is that why you also want to become a pilot?
No, that has nothing to do with this.
That good for nothing father has nothing to do with this.
This is like a good luck charm to me.
The stars are amazing.
You're right.
Do you think it would look even more amazing when seen from
- the cockpit at 30 thousand feet? - Of course.
You can apparently see the Southern Cross when you're on a flight in the southern hemisphere.
The Southern Cross...
I'm getting motivated.
- After such a long time has passed? - No, that's not it.
For my buddy.
I'll go to bed now. Goodnight.
2012 June 5 First Solo Flight
- Haru. - Yes?
Don't be so nervous.
Just do what you learned in training and everything will be fine.
Say again.
Never mind.
Tobe.
Yes.
The time has come for your solo flight.
There's nobody that'll sit next to you now.
You'll control the airplane by yourself.
There's no need to rush things because you're by yourself.
You should just do as you always do.
- Understood? - Yes.
OK.
Let's begin.
Stay calm. This is easy as pie...
I can't believe this. I'm really by myself.
It's all right. It's going to be all right.
Wow~ I'm so flying.
Amazing.
What's with her? She's amazing.
Like to be expected from Chisato-san. That was perfect.
Flying solo is amazing.
You should have confidence in yourself. You did all those preparations.
I know. By the way.
Is it all right for me to also aim for a perfect score?
You're quite someone.
I'll go then.
Engine, instruments. Check.
Avionics switch. On.
The time has finally come.
Yes.
All right, that was a beautiful take-off.
Stay calm.
First of all you ascend to altitude 2000 feet.
The first checkpoint is the river that's one mile ahead.
Ascend to altitude 2000 feet.
The river is in sight. Preparing to turn.
- Turn left, bank 25. - Turn left, bank 25.
Roll out.
Maintain altitude 2000 feet.
- Speed... - At 80 knots.
Altitude OK. Keep 80 knots.
Next comes the touch-and-go.
I actually messed up at this part.
I did it perfectly.
Don't lie you idiot.
- You were swinging left and right. - Yeah.
We're not talking about you guys now.
There she comes.
Stay calm.
- Good, good, good. - It's going pretty well.
- For now. - Yeah.
For some reason she's always been terrible at the landing at the end.
Yeah...
- Huh? Where's Chisato? - Huh?
Huh?
What's she doing over there?
We practiced so much. You know what to do, right?
All right, runway clear.
Stay calm. Confirm the touchdown zone.
Zero point seven until the touchdown zone. 65 knots.
Altitude 100 feet.
50 feet.
10 feet.
Try to remember the height as if you're on a second floor.
Now you use the control column to slowly increase the pitch.
10 feet. Increasing pitch.
- Go! - Touchdown!
All right!
On the mark!
You have those that make the best possible landing on their first solo.
- Haru! - Yeah!
I did it! I did it!
Huh? Where's Chisato?
Over there.
Chisato!
Leave her for now.
Right now, Chisato-san is more happy than for herself.
Chisato.
- Come on! - Hey! What's this? Huh?
- Just go along with it. - What are you doing?
Just sit down.
What? Hey... What's this?
You really don't know anything, do you?
This is a ceremony done after your solo flight.
- Oh. - It means that there's no need for anyone
to grab you by the collar anymore after a successful solo flight.
Oh really? You guys should have told me sooner.
All right.
Are you going to write something on it?
- Oh. - Oh!
It's just a sports bra. Why are you turning away?
What? My bra? Can you see it?
It's so unfair that you're wearing a tank top.
I would have worn one too if you told me about this.
Who cares? It's not like your going to loose something.
It's not all right. Why didn't you tell me
- the most important part? - I'm sorry. It's all right now.
Good...
Here you go, Haru.
Omedeto (Congratulations).
Thank you.
Hold on to that.
You'll determine the orientation, altitude, pitch and heading by only looking at the instruments.
This is not a game. Terrible things will happen if you underestimate this.
Leading up to the climax
of the America part!
Why do we have to fly with blindfolds on?
What's the motto?
We will all pass!
- Let's enjoy this Haru. - That's all that's on my mind.
America is so tough.
They keep flying with the fear to get dropped.
- Haru!! - Stop!
- It's not your fault. - That's not true.
In the end everybody will just suffer.
I was so disappointed in myself.
Stop saying nonsense.
Unfortunately there's one person that didn't pass.
