Flight Day 25  

Posted by y. 源

Yesterday I was programmed to fly for Nav 1, solo check before I go flying solo for navigation. But, weather at mainland was terrible, I had to replace that sortie with IF2 since the weather on this island was still ok. By the way, just wanna add that I flew with a different instructor because navigation solo check requirement does not allow the same instructor to fly with me.

This time I have nothing to talk about my Instrument Flying, but rather about how the new instructor's teaching. When we were flying through the mountain valley, it was expected to be quite turbulent due to the terrain. If I were to fly with my personal instructor, he'd have let me have all the controls from taxy and back to landing. But this new instructor was like so scared of me crashing the plane! His hand was at the controls most of the time, and I was only like following through. Damn. How can students improve under his guidance??!

This situation is similar to what is happening to the education system in our country. Teachers spoon-feed students with all the notes and the students happily get the info without the need to look for the info by themselves. Worst case is when the teachers deliberately leak out exam questions to their students days before the exam. I am sure these matters are not new to you and you have heard of them so many times or perhaps you were in the same situation before. It's of no surprise that even this problem exists in some universities.

It's about time the education system here to make a change for the better. And fast.






*Why the hell am I talking about that kinda stuffs here?*
