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?~~

We are given 3 houses in a golf course resort for a total of 17 of us to stay here in KT and the one I am staying with another 5 batchmates is called Seroja.

3 rooms, fully air-conditioned. 2 bathrooms, one in room while the other is beside the kitchen.

Microwave, fridge, cooking utensils, dining table, chairs, beds, blankets, all complete.

But what's weird is that we are not given room keys. We only have the main door key.

We started off cleaning our own room (2 people per room), and then proceed to hall, kitchen and lastly toilets.

I was cleaning the kitchen with 3 other guys when I heard a sudden loud bump from my room. The door was closed!

Tried to open it. Bloody hell. It won't budge.

Damn. Locked from inside. Why? I think I have to ask the wind for the answer.

We used a handphone card to open the damned door. No use.

Wanted to kick the door. Hmmm, after thinking twice, better not. First day arrived with broken door already is no good.

Next house got some construction workers. Asked for their help. One of them came with a hammer and a wood.

He put the wood on top of the door knob. A hammer on his right hand.

Taking his aim *tap tap*

And then smashed hard on the wood. The door knob became loose. Door still standing strong.

Let's just skip the cursing session.

Finally, with a screwdriver and the same handphone card, we opened the door.


As for the food, the school hired an aunty to cook and bring the food to hangar for us. The food is of course much better than what we had in LGk. :P

We have to be in hangar from 7.15am to around 5pm. So our breakfast and lunch in hangar. The aunty sends dinner to our house around 7pm.


Anyway, the golf course here is not good. I mean, it doesn't worth the money to play here.


More updates next time! Gotta sleep for tomorrow's sortie!

Just arrived in KT yesterday morning after a 9 hours of bus journey. After that followed by 8 hours house cleaning.

There is no internet connection at the housing area. But luckily there is WIFI at this small little hangar.

There isn't much time for me to update everything. Just flew finish and need to go back to house soon by van.

So I will update those next time.

PS: I saw a MAS 747 at here taking off today!! Super awesome!! =)
