Today's my first solo at KT here. Training areas were full of low clouds 5-7octas. I had to settle with circuits&landing.

Visibility was not that good either. Less than 5km. Looking around, no CB, just nimbostratus. But not enough to stop the solo cadets from flying.

Through the second lap, it started to drizzle. Wind just light and variable. I guessed I could still continue flying since it does not pose much of a hazard.

Rarely I get the chance to land without strong crosswind!

Did you notice AK's latest advertisement?



I love the last sentence.

"We innovate, others imitate."

The Blog Following feature is cool, isn't it? I started by following The Bitter Stickgirl. And now there are 12 people in my list. It shows everyone's updates instantly in one page and cut down the trouble to click the links one by one to check out my friends' blog.

Anyway, yesterday the school sent another aircraft for us! Muahhahhahha..That means now we have 4 aircrafts to fly!

And also means more hours to clock in a single day! :)

But..like what I said in the chatbox, monsoon is here already. You don't need me to tell you what's gonna happen next.

Why the school suddenly so kind to us to provide us another aircraft? We heard that a senior batch (flying Single Engine) has been grounded until they pay another fuel surcharge of 50K! So there are extra aircrafts for us, at the moment.

2 of the ex-senior batches are suing the school while two more are planning to do the same soon. All are private batches.

The school is very smart. It's mentioned in the contract that its content are not to be read by 3rd party.

Which means that if you let your lawyer to read the contract, the school has the right to sue you back! I wonder how are the seniors gonna win the case.

This is why I mention time and again that any of you who is going to sign any kind of contract, PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY!

I bet you saw the evening news yesterday that AK eliminates fuel surcharge for all her flights! Good news for all budget travelers like me! =)

How did AK manage to cut the fuel surcharge? I am not sure about that, but I am pretty sure Mr Tony and his crews are doing a great job to put more pressure on their rivals (especially MAS).

PS: Please don't ask me why AK can cut fuel surcharge while the school cannot. I am as blur as you.

I think I am getting the hang of flying at here already. The procedures parts were fine! Just need to fine tune on my landing skills.

First landing- flared to high. Added with crosswind. Ended up kangaroo landing. :P

Second Landing - flared nicely. Landed smoothly but at the left of runway.


My instructor said that I always pick the wrong reference point to maintain runway centerline.

Oh well, I will just pick a new one and practice more again!
