Flight Day 26  

Posted by y. 源

Today I finished two sorties again. One was IF3 Dual, another was GH4 Solo.

As usual, Instrument Flying only focus totally on instrument panel and not visual. This time, I was required to wear a special spectacles that can block me from looking out to the horizon and just focus on the instruments. This stupid specs was really shitty. It kept dropping down from my nose bridge. Really couldn't fit me at all.

Anyway, the air exercise was more advanced this time with the usage of VOR. VOR means VHF Omnidirectional Range. Don't ask me what is that because I don't even know that! Haha. I only know how to operate it only. It is sort of like a navigation equipment in guiding pilot to reach the VOR station by giving the heading to steer. I still need to do some research before I can explain it here. But I have included a link here if you wanna know about this.

I also landed from runway 21 again today. Approach was good. But during touchdown, I was like kangaroo. Haha. Bounced for one time before landing.

After that , I straight away went for Solo GH4 on another aircraft. Finally I could fly solo to training area. I practiced on Stall, Steep Turn, Medium Turn, Climb&Descend for 30minutes. Then I joined back the circuit to practice my landing. For all 4 landings I made today, all were 'Kangroo' landings. Damn! Plus the landing with instructor just now, total of 5 'kangaroo' landings!!

Ahh.. I really need a lot of landing practices!!!
