Flight day 20  

Posted by y. 源

Guess what. My batch mates and I were pushing aircrafts in the rain back to hangar. And of course all of us were drenched from head to toes. What a sh*tty day.

Some of you may think it was a punishment to us because we did something wrong. Haha. It was actually because we were in the list of duty to push aircrafts yesterday. Pilots pushing aircrafts eh? Never seen before? Never heard before? Haha. Now you have heard of it. Come and see it for yourself! *shaking head*

Luckily I did not fall sick today. If not, I would not be able to fly at all. Today I flew solo circuit again in the afternoon. 30 minutes sortie and I only managed to do 1 Touch&Go and then landed already. The traffic was a little busy with big airlines taking-off and landing. Me in this small aircraft had to give way to the big 'guys' by holding in the air. The term 'holding in the air' means circling at the early/late downwind until the control tower gives pilot the clearance to resume circuit. It sounded like a waste of time me going up in the air. But come to think of it, I was actually able to practise my Medium Turn by holding several orbits at downwind. Turning round and round, maintaining 30 degrees of bank angle and 1000ft altitude.

By the way, half of my batch mates including me are given two days holidays starting from today 1700hours. As usual, I can't go back to my home down south. I requested with the Chief Flying Instructor to let me fly and he agreed with it. I am lagging behind some of my friends by 4 to 5 flight hours, so it is a good thing I keep continue flying at here.

I think the raining season has come. Even today the weather is bad, raining in the morning and now in the late evening. Cloud base is approximately 2000ft above mean sea level. If the weather gonna continue for many months to come, I have a bad feeling that we can't complete in time before we enter ground school by early April.
