9/9/2011 --> My first flying lesson! I would say, FINALLY! Had been waiting for this day for so long. Used to be passenger until today, finally get to control the aircraft. It's not a big aircraft though, but still, AWESOME!~
Basically, I went for famil. or also known as introduction flight today. We were first briefed by Captain Kenneth on what are we suppose to do and what to expect before and during the flight. Then was thought how to fill in the load sheet (calculation of weight and stuffs). Isn't that hard but it could be very frustrating. Would have to recalculate once a small mistake made. After that went for aircraft pre flight check. Just to make sure that the aircraft is in good condition. Example of checks done- Aircraft's controls, fuel, oil, tyres etc etc.....! Can't afford to list them all, too many to be checked!~ After external check, did before engine start check. The sound of the engine start was mad awesome! But I believe not everyone would appreciate this irritating sound. But 1 thing for sure, I do!
I was then asked to do some basic communication with Langkawi tower (advance communication done by captain). I was then asked to control the aircraft after taking off. I had control of the aircraft but was assisted by the Captain. All he did was , okayyyy, I wanna go there, please bring me there, okayyy, I wanna go there, please bring me there bla bla bla~ And I had so much fun controlling the aircraft. It felt like heaven!~ We then landed after about an hour of flying. Amazingly Captain made me land the aircraft on my first flight! Thanks for trusting me captain!~ Somehow or rather managed to land the aircraft safely. Not that smooth, more practice needed!~
Actually I can't tell much about it. The fun, my feeling and everything are totally indescribable!~ But 1 word to describe this experience- AWESOME!~ More lesson to come for the next 2-3 months~ Looking forward for it and at the same time, will work harder!~ I think that's all for this post. See yahhhh!~ =D
well done !
