A father soared hometown in a private plane with his daughter for the upcoming Chinese New Year.

The video was filmed in the city of Liu'an in Anhui Province on January 30.

Mr. Wang flew a plane to bring his 7-year-old daughter back to their hometown, Lixin County, for the upcoming Chinese New Year (February 10).

Wang mentioned that the plane has two seats, and luggage can be placed in the rear cabin. As a flight instructor, he has been flying home for the New Year for many years, finding flying to be more than 2 hours faster than driving.

This time, the flight to his hometown took around 50 minutes, while driving would have taken more than 3 hours. There's a flying camp near his hometown where he can land. Initially, villagers found it novel, but now it's become routine.

Wang explained that flying a small aircraft requires prior notification, "Before flying, you need to report the take-off time and other details to the Civil Aviation Administration and other relevant authorities, confirm that the route has no conflicts, and then you can take off. Since the route from Liuan to Lixin is fixed, reporting a few hours in advance is sufficient."

Regarding concerns about the safety of flying with a child, Wang stated that due to his profession, he has been flying with his daughter since she was in kindergarten, and she is accustomed to it.

This flight was smooth, and the child even took a nap during the journey. "According to laws and regulations, one must be 17 or older to obtain a pilot's license, but there's no age restriction for flight experiences. So, children can ride in small aircraft as long as their health allows," Wang said.

Mrs. Bao, Wang's wife, also assured that her husband, being a licensed flight instructor with extensive experience, ensures safety. Their daughter has good physical fitness, doesn't get airsick in planes, and eagerly enjoys the flying experience. Therefore, Bao is confident and at ease with their decision.

春节将至，五湖四海的人们用各种方式回家。
1月30日，安徽六安市，王先生开直升机带7岁女儿回老家利辛过年。
王先生称，飞机为两人座，行李可以放在机舱后方。自己是飞行教员，此前已多年开飞机回家过年，飞行会比开车快2个多小时。这次回老家的飞行时长在50分钟左右，开车的话得3个小时，相对来说飞行比较省时间。老家附近就有一个飞行营地，可以在那里降落，村里人一开始也觉得新奇，但久而久之都习以为常。
王先生介绍，驾驶小型飞机需要提前报备，“飞行前要向民航局等主管部门报备起飞时间等，确认航线没有冲突，基本就可以起飞。因为六安到利辛是一条固定的航线，所以提前几个小时报备就行。”
至于大家关注的带小朋友飞行会不会不安全？对此王先生表示，因为职业原因，从女儿幼儿园开始，他就经常带女儿一起飞行，她也飞习惯了。这一次的飞行比较平稳，小朋友还在飞行途中睡了一觉。“在法律法规上有规定17岁以上才能考取飞行执照，但飞行体验是不限制年龄的，所以小朋友是可以乘坐小型飞机的，只要她的身体情况允许就行。”他说。

王先生的妻子鲍女士也者表示，丈夫本身就是做飞行教员，执照齐全，此前的飞行时长也比较长，在安全这块能够保障。同时女儿的身体素质也比较好，乘坐直升机和固定翼飞机都不会晕机，而且也很愿意去体验飞行，所以她是比较放心的。
