Funny incident to note

On a nice clear bluesky Saturday, needless to say it's a great day to fly. I was preparing myself to fly in the crew room reviewing my notes about Assymetric circuits. Then my instructor told me to get the aircraft ready to fly thus i went out with ZuL (since he's backseating my flight) and transit check the aircraft in order.

The first one was G-OCCY. Proceeding with the checks, Zul was checking the engine while i was checking the external structure of the aircraft. As i squat down and check the main gear tyre, i shout " CHECK FOR PUNTURES !" then something magical happened. A hissing sound came from the nose gear tyre...and to my surprised the front tyre is going flat. I mean literally GOING flat in front of me with Zul watching. Amazing ! Aiman which flew the aircraft and landed roughly 30mins ago didn't seem to have any problem but then when i check it....the tyre go flat on me ! 30mins....Haha...me and Zul were sort of surprised and started laughing.

Next was G-OCCW. We were told to do the whole Air-checks of the aircraft and get it ready to fly. Checks all good to go and i start up the left engine. Then i noticed the landing gear light is unservicable ( in other word broken). As the instuctor got in, i told him about it and conclude it's not a good choice to fly cuz we won't be able to know whether the landing gear is fully down or not. Shut it down and onward to the third aircraft !!

Lastly was G-MHJK. Again with the Air-checks and this time i make sure everything is REALLY good to go. Checks all good and landing gear light is good. Instuctor got in, engine master on, put in the keys and start the engine !! ....weird ..nothing happened ~ try it again...and again but it wont start ! I noticed the starter circuit breaker is popping out, that must be the reason. Put it back in, start again and the circuit breaker pops out again ...Circuit overload..unable to start....3rd aircraft unbale to fly. . It's a SIGN !! THAT IM NOT SUPPOSE TO FLY ON THAT DAY !! Hahahaha...still wondering why though...and what would happen if i give up my slot for Zul to fly instead ~ who knows? Luck is the most magical thing in LIFE

After my unannounced hiatus ^^

Hehehe...paiseh so long didn't post anything ~ It's not that there's nothing going on in my life....it's just plain old LAZY!! Therefore i took the time to go on a self proclaim hiatus from my blog ! l0lx (pemalas banar nee)

Let's see...i'll just sums up all my bad stuffs or days here cuz it's much easier to remember for now ^^

Firstly....NEWCASTLE RELEGATE !!! AAHHHH !! (Oh, im a fan of newcastle for long as i can remember). I was really confident that they could survive thus i bet £50 on them just to win ....and then WTF !!?? OWN GOAL !!?? .....game over ~ £50 flew away just like that...

Then few days later ...on my solo flight. I tried to taxi the aircraft with the TIES on !! My gawd !! no wonder the aircraft didn't move when i apply power ~ Haha...i received a good scolding from my instructor and then write a report about it =.=''

Again a few days later i was given a flight exam PT3. And guess what... "That was the worst flight i have ever flown with you !!" said my instructor Brian Clark. Apparently i wasn't concentrating on my flight and i let myself easily disturbed on and FLight exam !! AhhH !! Luckily i was let off easily from that but i felt sooo stressed afterward X___x (It's amazing how carelessness can get you into deep shit)

BUT i never give up !! RAWR !! Cut my hair almost bald (noo...i didn't take a pic of myself without hair =D ) Think about what went wrong and what to do about it for the following days ~ Last last all went pretty well...progressively anyway ~ passed my PT3...went on to a new aircraft, The Diamond DA42 twin engine and the next PT4 coming very soon but my chronicles here is not yet over !! Must keep my head up high and be ready for anything ~ RAWR !!

note: all of these mentioned above happened at around end of May though ~ xD

Summary of My April 2009

Nothing much, same old routine.... studying+ flying+ simulator. But with a bit of football and badminton as well as movie breaks during the weekends.
We got a new colleague ! Mr. Roslie an ex-Shell helicopter pilot whom wanted to convert into a fixed wing pilot. A friendly and nice guy overall.
We were schedule to finish our course before SEPTEMBER ! hopefully they(Cabair) can deliver. Because if not ... our sponsor(RBA) will not continue to send anymore pilots intake to that company <== which can possibly put our hides into more trouble =.=''

Anyway ~ muz work hard to get out of here !! the sooner the better ~ RAWR !!
