fLyiNg eXpEriEnCe iN tAmWoRtH!!
Hmmm.. shall blog abit of my flying experience in tAmWoRtH.. not too bad actualli.. it was realli an experience to fly an aircraft all by our own la.. haf finally completed 5 sorties le.. clocked a minimum of 5 hrs.. but this 5 hrs we alreadi noe the basics of flying an aircraft..
I alreadi be able to take-off the aircraft myself without any help though still abit unstable here and there.. but still can la.. able to fly straight and level.. manoeuvres.. climbing & descending.. travelling straight in fast cruise or slow cruise.. do circuit.. do stalling (practically simulate the aircraft lost its lift and started falling off the sky.. den how to recover from it) and oso hell lots of checks i haf to do and remember while still controlling the aircraft and oso to comms back to tower for clearance and all this.. so if anytime u got nothing to do in the aircraft.. tt means something is wrong.. haha.. so is like damn busy in aircraft and need to multitask la..
We practically haf to depart from our workplace to the training area all by ourselves den return back ourselves.. we fly over mountain tops and ranges.. and got too see alot of things.. its interesting nevertheless.. but is not and easy job.. somemore damn stressful.. got to study and study and study.. beside during flying.. ur instructor will nag at u when u do wrong things la.. its is inevitable la.. cos we onli fly 5 hrs.. so wat to do.. juz "lan lan suck thumb" (keep quiet) and get scolding la.. haha.. i haf lost most of my confidence in my 2nd sortie.. but gaining back some of it when i fly my sortie 5 today la.. haha.. hopefully can pass la.. but all this will haf to wait till next week.. my course got 19 pple.. 7 took the test alreadi and 4 fail.. sianz la.. the chopping ratio is damn high la.. wonder if i will survive.. nevertheless i will do my best and who noes wat will be my future like le?? haha..
Anyway.. tts all for this post la.. missing home, family and frds.. :)..
