Sortie 5: Completed:)

Done my sortie 5: Climbing and Descending today!
Plane: 9V-YFM
Date: 27 Sept 2012
The weather was awesome and the visibility was amazing! I can see the planes landing at Changi Airport from Area Charlie!
The sortie was good! Well.. got a 5.5 score which is the highest in my course so far:)

So i did everything on my own, from checks to R/T to T/O to departure!

Well... The exercise was excellent.... Mostly

I almost lost control of the plane in the cruise descent as i was turning the plane to remain in area while R/T Establish in Area while doing Filer Checks and it started to rain at that time. So i was distracted and the plane started to sink at around 1800feet per minute.
Fortunately i spotted the error and corrected it!
Landing was smooth although i think i should have gone around as my bank angle exceeded 30 degrees while turning for final. But i was established n the extended centreline and decided to continue the approach.!

Overall got quite a good score!

Sortie 6..... Bring it on!!! :)
