take me to the sky

8:46 am Hi world! Ohmigosh, I was supposed to blog last night about my dearest #9, but I was seriously too tired. Was rushing out an english presentation cause there's going to be somebody from NUS here for accreditation, and I wouldn't want my diploma to be worth nothing. Therefore, I had to do my best.

Anyway, so yesterday was my maiden sortie without my dearest primary instructor. I heard yesterday that I was flying with this certain instructor and I swear I thought I was GOING TO DIE. By like 0945, during chinese, the nervousness was KILLING me. But I told myself that I prepared enough, and so alright, I went down to YFC for flight.

Circuits was actually alright. I made a few hard landings, but it was better than I expected. I need to remember the take-off, I think I learnt how to do it properly today (I have been taking off since sortie 4, but like seriously, I haven't learnt it well). I have to work on turning without losing height, bleargh. Remember to check back pressure. On upwind, have to remember to maintain 80 kts climbing speed. I wanna learn to fly accurately, but I wonder how you do that without chasing the needle and instruments. Nevermind, stuff to be learnt. Then on base/final, I think I need to learn to anticipate faster, to correct the speed the moment I see the needle move.

But of all things, I got scolded for my TAXYING. Hahahahaha, honestly when I was getting lectured, I was secretly laughing, cause really, I was taxying quite alot slower than normal already (knowing that my instructor has the reputation of being a really chiong guy), but yeah, next time, I will taxy on the line, and go even slower. These are little things which I have to remember I guess.

oh oh oh, I also kept forgetting to address the agency I was talking to. Hahahaha, that was pretty bad. But learnt plenty on this flight. And I don't think I have ever been told to think about my flight the way I was told yesterday. (: It turned out much better than I expected. I made some pretty dumb mistakes, but I think I know why I made them. so yup.

This is all crazy, my changing instructor, APs, circuits, exams, and I wonder how I'm managing. But it helps to have the people I have around me. Jo's flying #6 AGAIN today.

Hahahahaha, and anyway, in school today, something happened that really reminded me of year 3. We were supposed to do some paper which I totally didn't remember him telling us to do but anyways, like 1 person in the class did it? And the non-BC people were sent out of class, which was like half the class. Like tutorial 1, first week of year 3. amusing. (:
