Yesterday my friends and I celebrated second day of CNY by eating MacD. Then went for shopping. Bought a packet of biscuits and two bags of peanuts and a pair of lanterns (to hang them in my room to feel CNY atmosphere). Pathetic way of celebrating CNY.
Just back from my morning sortie, Stalling 2. The air exercise was almost the same like Stalling 1 except that I had to recover with Power 20% configuration and then recover with Power 20% + Landing Flap settings. The decrease of airspeed with Landing Flap setting was of course very fast as the flap produced more drag to the aircraft. I only spent little time on stalling because the instructor said that he wanted to emphasize more on Circuit. So after the Stalling 2 air exercise, I proceeded back to the the runway circuit and he showed me once about the procedures and what to do for Circuit air exercise. This was what I did today:
At apron,
1) Pre-flight check (interior then exterior)
2) Pre-engine start-up check
3) Establish communication with control tower:
Me: Langkawi Approach, this is MAHA 25 on 119.4, good morning.
Lgk: MAHA 25, good morning, go ahead.
Me: MAHA 25, in position Bay 1, request taxy for training area Langgun, 2 P.O.B, Endurance0500 hours, in 9M-HMO, copied information Echo.
Lgk: MAHA 25, cleared taxy holding point Charlie runway O3.
Me: Cleared taxy holding point Charlie runway 03, MAHA 25.
*The call sign (MAHA 25) wasn't mine. Since my instructor was the PIC (pilot in command), I had to use his call sign instead.*
4) Taxy to holding point.
At holding point,
1) Pre-takeoff check.
2) Then, call control tower for ATC (Air traffic clearance)
Me: MAHA 25, request for ATC.
Lgk: MAHA 25, cleared for training area Langgun, 6000ft and below, squawk code 3125.
Me: Cleared for training area Langgun, 6000ft and below, squawk code 3125, MAHA 25.
Me: MAHA 25, request line-up.
Lgk: MAHA 25, cleared backtrack and line-up runway 03.
Me: Cleared backtrack and line-up runway 03, MAHA 25
After line-up at runway's centerline and ready for takeoff,
Me: MAHA 25, ready.
Lgk: MAHA 25, cleared for takeoff
Me: Cleared for takeoff, MAHA 25.
After 400ft, off Landing and Taxy Lights, then put Flaps Up. Continue climb to 1000ft and then call control tower again:
Me: MAHA 25, request direct climb.
Lgk: MAHA 25, cleared direct climb via Simpang Gunung Raya.
Me: Cleared direct climb via Simpang Gunung Raya, MAHA 25.
After the request has been approved, aircraft climbs to 6000ft and below, maintain 90% power and 85 knots.
Call control tower again upon reaching training area:
Me: MAHA 25, in training area Langgun, will call again for operation normal and rejoin.
Lgk: MAHA 25.
After 30minutes,
Me: MAHA 25, ops normal
Lgk: MAHA 25, call when rejoin.
Me: Wilco, MAHA 25
*Wilco=will comply*
After training ends,
Me: MAHA 25, request rejoining instructions.
Lgk: MAHA 25, rejoin for left downwind runway 03 via Telaga 1500ft, call overhead Telaga.
Me: Rejoin for left downwind runway 03 via Telaga, call overhead Telaga, MAHA 25.
When overhead Telaga,
Me: MAHA 25, overhead Telaga 1500ft.
Lgk: MAHA 25, descend to circuit altitude left hand downwind runway 03, call again downwind.
Me: Descend to circuit altitude left hand downwind runway 03, will call again downwind, MAHA 25.
At downwind, maintain power 60%, speed 85 knots, heading 210, flaps take-off position straight and level.
Me: MAHA 25, downwind to land.
Lgk: MAHA 25, report final.
Me: Will report final, MAHA 25
When runway is 8 o'clock from me, commence descending left turn (runway is on my left) into "base leg". Maintain Power 10-20%, speed 80knots.
When turning into final from base leg, call control tower again.
Me: MAHA 25, turning final
Lgk: MAHA 25, cleared to land.
Me: Cleared to land, MAHA 25.
At final, use threshold (something looks like piano keys) as the specific aim-point, maintain speed 75knots using control stick, power has to be adjust accordingly to maintain constant rate of descent towards threshold.
After passing threshold, flare the aircraft.
*flare=pull back the control stick to make the aircraft flies in straight and level*
Use end of runway as datum altitude. Power is reduced gradually to allow aircraft "sinks". Stall horn will be activated as the control stick is pulled backward slowly to maintain end of runway as datum altitude.
After aircraft touches down safely, call control tower (or sometimes the tower calls me first.) to taxy back to apron.
Me: MAHA 25, clear runway.
Lgk: MAHA 25, taxy to Bay 1 via holding point Bravo.
Me: Taxy to bay one via holding point Bravo, MAHA 25.
Upon reaching Bay 1, follow the marshaller's instructions (but pilot may ignore marshaller though) to park the aircraft at the apron.
Parking brake is set after parking. Then commence the after-landing check and shut down the engine.
That is all for today! =D
