CPL Flight Day 51  

Posted by y. 源

General Handling 42 - P1 U/S
Navigation 12 - Solo


Nav 12 to Ipoh again this time but duration only 3 hours. The route to Penang was excluded.

Kinda unlucky that I had to take off at 1100hours local time and so I brought two packets of biscuit along to fill my empty stomach.

I felt mild vibration along the way. I thought maybe the strong wind was the cause. But the aircraft vibrated from take off until I landed. Haha.

When I was approaching to land, I was told to descend from 2000ft to 1000ft.

I cut power from 70% to 30%.

And suddenly the power dropped to 0%!

And the engine felt suddenly like switched into silent mode!!

Damnit. I think my heart stopped beating for that 1 sec!

But anyway, I applied full power back. Oh man, a noisy engine felt so much better..........(lucky me??)

Tomorrow morning going for my last navigation sortie in single engine phase! And it will also be the last time I gonna use my own callsign.

My last ever SOLO sortie.

I am so gonna miss 943~~
