Back after 2 mths
Wahoo...My exile's over...I've got back my wings and yeah i get to soar the friendly skies again....then again not so friendly. Rain like siaoz todae...lucky can fly tho...visibility cleared up.
Took off from runway 21...climbed to Area Alpha. Yeah man back to the place where i can just flit around. My handling was quite good...better than i thought it wld be after 2 mths absence. When we were climbing from 1500 ft to 3000 ft. I spotted a Cessna 152 just below us..about 1000 feet below.
"Hey Darshan... Aircraft errr...9...9 o clock Low!"
"Negative Contact"
"There! He's right there...Down there climbing...Damn...THERE! Below us! To our left!"
"Ok Contact I see him. IS he on converging path as us?"
"Er...Dun think so...Nope he aint gonna converge."
Yeah it went sth liddat. My sharp eyesight is still there. Spotted more aircraft and choppers b4 Darshan. Thought he did catch one b4 I did...but just a split second before I did.
OK Stalling...Full Power off stall was no problem. The approach stall was sucky...I just couldn;'t make the plane stall even though I was yanking on the control column like King Kong....Well at least I know this girl wont stall this easily. But dammit it might lead to my demise in the Flight Test. So dammit she has to stall for me. In the end... I got it somewhat. By that time no more time to continue so we headed back home.
Did my first PFL todae. Engine failure at 2500ft (Simulated) PRetty easy...Altho I misjudged since its the first time doing it on runway 21. Went in high and landed way after the threshold. I thought of doing a DFD (Dive for the Deck, but decided that it might be a wee bit dangerous so nixed the idea and go in high...the runway was upsloping so the plane touched down before i washed off all the speed. Not a bad landing tho.
I think I did better than I expected. But the same can't be said for my RT...argh my RT was f***ed.... Help! RT will be in less than 10 days time... Oh and Must go Mug for NAV and MET exam tmr.
