CPL Flight Day 21

Instrument Flying 11 - Mutual

Oh yeah, now that xiuyu mentioned it, I forgot to explain why we were sent here to fly. The reason is stupid though. No surprising as it comes from stupid management.

The reason:

Our batch is progressing way too fast already and need to slow down.
The average flying hours that we have clocked so far is 73hours (including PPL 42 hours).

Back in LGK, we were able to clock 2 to 3 hours per day as our batch 'conquered' all the DA40s available. So if the progress continues, we can actually graduate at mid February.

BUT...

According to school's brilliant plan, again, we will only join Twin Engine Flying stage at 9th February. Which means we have like 3months to complete our single engine flying hours.

2months to clock up to around 115hours here in KT because some of the long navigation sorties and night flying and PTs can only be done in LGK.

*145 hours for Single Engine*
*55 hours for Twin Engine*

Thanks to the intelligent management and thinking of our beloved Mr. Aerofoil Head, we were sent here with just 3 aircrafts to fly. And in schedule, there is only ONE HOUR for each of us to fly. They were thinking that KT monsoon season can reduce our progress more.

But hell no. The weather here is like drought + strong crosswind + few low clouds. Suitable for flying but just have to be a little more careful with the crosswind on landing.

We gonna try to complete the remaining single engine hours by CNY2009 and then apply leave to go back for few days.

Angpau~~ Angpau~~ Where are you?~~
