Just like GH18, this is another P1U/S sortie which checks on flying skills. Performance was ok for all the turns and stalls.

But for PFL overhead airfield, it wasn't good because I was told to use the reciprocal runway instead of the usual Runway 03 for PFL. In simple, PFL planning was not sufficient!

Anyway, here's a good news and one bad news.

Good: My batchmates and I are going to Kuala Terengganu to fly.
Bad: The school only informed us this afternoon that the bus to KT is tomorrow 2100hours!!


We know the school really likes to drop bombshell on us. But we did not expect such a huge one! Well, everyone started to rush to pack their stuffs since 6hours ago.

I myself have 2 big sets of luggage, one sling bag and one laptop bag. And oh yeah, my guitar too. That's 5 altogether! Damn.....


PS: Sharman, is the KT airport near to your school? I plan to visit you!!

I made a 180 degrees turn back for circuits& landing when I saw a bloody big CB covering both the training areas.

I was thinking that maybe I could do 6 landings with the one hour sortie.

First touch&go, OK.

Second lap, told to hold early downwind for airline departure.

After ten minutes, it started to drizzle. Over the sea, I saw another bloody big CB moving in from south. If I don't land fast, I gonna be in trouble.

ATC then told me to leave early downwind and proceed to hold late downwind for another 10mins.

By this time, the weather was just 3nm ahead of me. Gonna eat me up in another 10mins I think.

One of the instructor who was holding behind me, asked the ATC to let me land first.

But the ATC said no. Haha. He had to let another traffic to land first, then only my turn.

It seemed that even the thunderstorm activity nearby blurred the RT transmission. Static noise in the background could be heard.

But anyway, I landed without much trouble using flapless approach. Airspeed was kinda high during flaring of course. Compared to the 'crazy' landing I made the other day, today's just small case! :P

What was supposed to be a happy outing for a family of 10 on the day after Deepavali turned into tragedy when a 10-year-old boy was run over by a tram at Danga Bay.

R. Karnaraj, who was riding the tram to tour Danga Bay together with his family, was believed to have lost his grip and fell off.

He was subsequently run over by one of the two coaches.

The tram driver, when alerted of the incident, immediately stopped the slow-moving tram, and pulled the boy out from the undercarriage.

With the help of other Danga Bay workers, the boy was rushed to Sultanah Aminah Hospital. Karnaraj, however, succumbed to his injuries at the hospital.
The tram service is popular with visitors to Danga Bay.

More than 1,000 people use the service daily.

This is the first fatal accident involving the service since its introduction in 2002.

It is learnt that the tram was near the Rumah Limas area when the incident occurred about 4.30pm.

Star Tram Sdn Bhd, the operator of the tram service, extended its condolences to the family of Karnaraj, adding that a full investigation would be carried out to ascertain the cause of the accident.

A police report has been lodged.
