A Day to Forget...
Woke up at 0515hrs, went for breakfast at 0615, observed and help prepare for OPs brief den to pre-flight brief at 0730hrs.
Sortie 5 (GH5 / Flight no.5) planned to be at 1030hrs.
However, at 1000hrs when I went to the OPs room to mentally prepare, I saw my insructor sitting there asking me whether I'm ready to fly off...and was given only 1 min to get ready....rushed here and there....realised that there were no parachutes that were the right size for me, had to ask instructor for more waiting time. Immediately, saw an ADF (Australia Defence Force) pilot trainee coming back with my size, took it from him (it was abit wet on the sides)...and rushed over. Gosh...everything happened so fast...
My taxying wasn't really good, almost forgot my instrument checks (wrong, i did forget, instructor had to remind me)....procedures a lil' unstable...R/Ts abit slow...but much better this time. Proceeded to take off. Along departure route I kept making minor mistakes...my actions came first before my checks....ga bra here and there... + the untolerable nature of turbulence this time round...I just lost it.
If only things were like my previous sortie...the perfect weather, not much turbulence, everything just went right. Well, have to work much harder tonight. Tml will be flying again and am the first wave at 0830hrs. Gonna do the 2 different types fo stalls in the training area and perhaps will be demostrated on how to do the last Final Configuration Stall.
Sorry for those reading if you don't understand the terms...I perfectly understand...when I first saw it, I was clueless too. Haha...well, keep me in prayers ya. Needa focus... instructor will keep silent tml, but you know he can't keep silent for long. Haha...well, lets hope all goes well tml!
Will be doing phototaking with our plane and course tml as well. Let's hope everyone make it this time! =)
