I was supposed to do my PT1 today. Again, I was re-scheduled for tomorrow. And the best part is, I will have a DCA Captain as my Examiner! Do I sound like I am happy or what?

Honestly I am not, guys. One, I dunno what to expect when I am flying with him. Two, I heard that he is much stricter than any other instructors in my school.

Damn!! The reason why the DCA sent their staff here to do our PT1 is perhaps they don't trust the authorized examiner (AE) from our school. My other batch mates all got the AE to do their PT1 for them. But luckily I am not the only one. I have another batchmate here whose PT1 will also be conducted by the DCA guy tomorrow. So we are now like guinea pigs as no one else has ever done their PTs under a DCA Captain.

If I can pass this PT1, I tell you, I gonna treat myself some delicious food!!!!! I can't think of any food yet. Maybe food related to pork, i guess. =D

I've prepared everything already. Theory of Flight book and the emergency procedures are all inside my stomach now. Yes, I "burned the papers and boiled the ashes with hot water and drank" it. And tomorrow if the examiner asks me, I gonna vomit out all those stuffs in front of him!!! Bloody hell...........


Anyway, below here are some other emergency procedures that I would like to share here. It might sound pointless to some of you, but you can close this window if you don't want to continue reading this.
