Today was supposed to have two sorties, GH 2 and Circuit 2 (Solo). However, due to no extra aircraft available, I could only go for GH2 with my instructor at 1500hours. I really have no idea how the Flight Ops staffs planned the schedule. Anyway, finally after nearly a month, it rained. For only an hour. But it was still better than no rain at all! At least the visibility was improved and the temperature up in the sky was not so warm. The weather here is changing rapidly and getting unpredictable. I wonder the weather at other places is the same too.

GH2 today was basically not much different from GH1. I revised on Steep Turn again and this time was much better. :Later, the instructor showed me how to select the right place to land if I encounter with engine failure at the training area. Remember PFL? Practice Forced Landing. Yeah, that air exercise will come in handy if I ever have engine failure. To keep it short and simple here, it is suffice to say that I need to determine the direction of wind (so that I can position my aircraft flying into the wind) and then select the widest (and safest) place to land such as paddy fields. After approximately 40minutes, we proceeded back to the aerodrome to revise PFL and did one Touch&Go before landed. I did great in all but one. The landing for Touch&Go. I saw the aircraft suddenly sinked too fast and my immediate reaction? I pulled back the control stick too fast.

My instructor scolded me on that of course. He said that I should not do sudden reaction to the control especially at such situation because it may lead to tail-strike (aircraft tail hits the ground and certain amount of impact can cause the tail to fall apart). I have seen three propeller strikes already since the day I came to study here. I don't want to be in the list of cadets destroying the aircraft. Haha. You don't need me to explain why, do you?

Now is 1832hours. In half an hour time, I have to attend class. That's right. Class!! After sortie, I still have class. Goodness. But the class is about Instrument Flying (IF), which sounds fun to me! So it is not all that bad. Some of my friends have already started their IF since few days ago actually. And I am still lacking them by nearly ten hours. Reason? Simple. The Flight Ops again. Many times my friends get to fly two hours a day while mine is either cancelled or allocated with just 30minutes sortie. Damn.
