This is the start of my Circuits training :)))) Well the main idea is to practice takeoff and landings!
I done this exercise in minimum VMC conditions. Throughout the sortie, i was hoping that the Seletar tower will not tell us to land! There is a slight drizzle about halfway through the sortie and we had to land to allow a jet to arrive.
I learnt the taxying procedures on the Eastern side of the runway and was having a mini debrief session in that period of time before taking off again. My performance in the second half of the sortie was better because i know what to expect, was calmer, and know what to look out for!.
Surprisingly, my landings were generally good! In my first few attempts to land, it was done in crosswind and tailwind conditions! So it was actually a good experience for me to execute crosswind landings!
However i know i have to improve further! For example my go around procedure is still a little slow and have to be more aware of the number of aircrafts in the circuits especially when the college planes are practising their Touch & Go and the planes in the training area comes back to land!
Overall, Sortie 9 was a good learning experience and i am grateful to have a wonderful flying instructor!!
Thank you Mr Toh!!!
To all, have a Good Day/ Night :)

Sorties 6,7,8 Condensed!
Annyeong!!!!
Sorry for not posting for quite some time.
Well for my previous few sorties, the weather was quite ok. Pretty much the same with some clouds at around 3000 to 6000 feet in the training areas.
I had already gotten used to the radio-telephoney and aircraft checks that they i am quite fluent in them now! :)
For my sorties 7 & 8, i practised stalling in the different configurations, such as stalling with power, with flaps and in approach configuration. The only problem i seem to have was that i did not fully enter a stall before recovering... Well, frankly speaking, we do not want a major stall to develop in the first place!. Thus i feel that incipient stall recovery is the best options!
To my fellow coursemates still trying their best, i wish you all the best in your attempts to reach the next phase!
Have a Good Day! Cheers:)
