oki.... project work is finally over. i will now commence a very long blog i think....
wait ahz... let me recall the events that happened.... ah yes.... had a flight on friday... ya then suddenly i find out that on sunday i have a flight... haha... power rightz? it was a 11am flight by mark yeo. my 9th flight!!! lol then i'll technically have 2 primary instructors. Siva and Mark Yeo judging by the number of times they flew me.
since mark yeo was doing my sortie, my attempt to do take off will be delayed. but he let me handle the aircraft from departure to training area. woah i was happy to do it. i was a little bit worried about the fact that we were doing stalling. since stalling is actually in the event that the aircraft cannot maintain flight and will just fall down. think of it as u going of a roller coaster... then suddenly drop down.... u know when u reach the top... ya the feeling was like that....
but apparently it was not that bad... since the aircraft stalls at very low speeds.... like 45knots. whats the conversion? i'm not too sure... but it should be around 50-60km/h... so anywayz.... when it was my turn to try.... woah the control column was blardy heavy sia... lol..... was like 5kg or something.... then when i heard the stall warning... basically a long and shrill alarm...... u supposed to pull back even more.... i was like huh??? feels like the max already.... but i tried... still can man.... lol but the control column weighed almost 7kg... then ya the aircraft really stalled.... phew... i did my stuff and b4 i knew it the stall was over... lol.... and i actually dropped 300ft.
then my emergencies..... hai..... kept on doing it wrongly.... mark yeo got kinda angry and asked me to read my FRC (Flight Reference Cards) to clarify again.... phew... luckily i read and got it right....
oh ya.... also when we were descending for Area Alpha... we tried contacting paya lebar approach. then didn't reply.... then mark yeo did... still no reply.... so we just descended.... then he was like scolding off the radio.... that they were sleeping and stuff. haha then he contacted another aircraft in the area.... apparently they said paya lebar was trying to contact us..... then i was like huh???? radio failure??? then i was suspecting maybe the volume.... then wah zai zai was the volume got problem.... so he adjusted... but apparently is like there's only a notch that just nice... any softer the volume will be gone... any louder it will start blasting. then somemore we were doing stalling and the shaking could have shoke it out of position.
haha then he let me bring the aircraft from alpha all the way to finals... b4 landing... then he asked me whether i want to land... i was like? "sir? eh... i'll try my best sir" then he went "do you want to land?" he did that another 2 times... then said anyway u can't do... i was like.... haha cheeky fellow... so he landed... but he let me fly the aircraft till we were lined up for landing. he say i'm a bit too fast and too high.... anywayz... all went well... got a 5.
then after i go back to OPs room... i see that i'm flying on tuesday... lol.... imagine sortie 8 on friday, 9 on sun, 10 on tues.... one line up... well thats for another timez.... cause my fingers ache.... tata
