CCTS 2

"Niner-Oscar-Quebec, Downwind for touch and go."
"9-OQ, your are number 3."
"Number 3... 9-OQ"
"Ok, number 1 on final, number 2 turning for base. Pre-landing checks."
(30 seconds later)
"Number 1 just took off...shit..i lost number 2...W-where'd he go?...No wait i see him. Ok turning for base."
"Ok Mr Colin...turn for final...you are high...reduce power...ok ok..now you are low..increase power..."
"Ok ok...here we go...I can make it...Power Off! Ok flare...shit...wind...Yeah...ok"
(plane touches down)
"Don't Push the control forward hold it as it is! You want the prop to hit the ground?"
"Uh..sorry..ok flaps up...here we go... here we go...yeaaaahh..!"
(Plane lifts off.)

Well, yeah that's one part of the conversation in the flight. While landing and taking off haha. Basically, today is a repeat of the previous lesson and it will keep going on until i'm proficient at landing enough for my solo.

Conditions today was so-so only. The sky was clear but then very windy. I did Circuits along with 3 other planes from the Singapore Flying College. They are Cessna 152s. They were like doing the same thing as i am...so well yeah...4 planes within 1 Nm flitting around in a circuit. So kinda brings back the NMAC memory for me. So i was like super alert, kept looking around for planes and i spotted most of the planes well b4 Darshan did haha. Got once we had to Go-Around and then this C152 was jus climbing from take-off i was like "He's on our blindside...Keep an eye on him Darshan..." hahaha. Well...This look-out thing is becoming a good habit ;).

Well...I'm still practising my landings and will be for a few more lessons. Still not able to rudder properly haha. So...I still got 4 more lessons (i give myself 3) to succeed to land proficiently and consistently. Oh yeah...I got my security pass haha no need to go show those police guys my IC and let them search me liaoz..:) and my headset works great too. Flying on Saturday at 12pm...yeah must get it right this time.

Oh and er... Its pretty exciting doing a 30-40 degree turn at 800 ft. Just like a roller coaster. yep... Not just the landing. haha
