Flight Day 3  

Posted by y. 源

Effects of Controls 2 (EOC2) today was basically understanding the usage of flaps (take-off flaps and landing flaps), taxying to holding point, revising back what we did yesterday and also learned how to trim the aircraft. The word trim in this context means to relieve the pilot's load on the joystick. For example, if the joystick is constantly needed to be held forward, the trim will come into use by trimming it forward until the forward pressure of the joystick is lost. If the aircraft is not trimmed, by the time the pilot landed, his/her hand gonna be so stiff and tired! =D

You must be guessing whether I got vomit or not today. Haha. Yeap. You bet I did! But this time I managed to last for 40mins compared to yesterday's 20mins. I did almost all the things required except for landing part. However, after landed on the runway, the instructor gave me the chance to taxy back to the apron after seeing me feeling much better. Haha.

I think I am getting the hang of it. Even limbs also didn't feel numb. SO........


TOMORROW WILL BE A BETTER DAY! =D


I think I did not mention my callsign in the previous post right? My callsign is MAHA 943. During RT communication, I will pronounce it as MAHA Niner Fower Tree.
