Hold short & backseat

Yesterday’s flying log actually
Well, I flew the first sortie yesterday
And because we were late
And the Eagle needed to pass to Capt Shahul at 1030
So we were actually rushing to finish our flight
I even haven’t start my daily inspection
Capt Aung asked me to go and sit in the cockpit
He did all the checking
He did the radio for startup
He taxied to holding point
Everything he did
I even didn’t look at my checklist
He let me take over the control when take off
Well, I took off myself
With his assist of course
And I did it pretty well xD

After 400ft I did the left climbing turn to 1000ft
Then he showed me actual stall and Standard Stall Recovering (SSR)
Initially I thought stalling will be horror
But I felt nothing
Not even the vomit feel
Hahahahaha!
He then asked me to enter stall myself
Followed by SSR
“Power idle, nose up attitude to maintain 1500ft
[stall warning horn]beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep
Initially nose down, power full, right rudder”
Damn easy, buddy!
I did it nicely
But my power applying is a bit delayed
This was what he told me

After that we did roller landing
Quite shocked to do roller landing now
But since he asked tower for permission
And the tower granted
So, just do it buddy!
Hahahahahahah
After roller landing
We did a circuit and made full stop landing
I approached myself
Aimed aiming point…..
I don’t really know whether I aimed it correctly or not
We did landing together
WHEEE~~

After landed, we were asked by tower to hold short before taxi cargo apron
Cause there was a Cessna/Piper (I’d forgotten -.-) ready to lineup RWY16
Luckily we did this
If not, I cannot imagine what will happen to me for my first solo
And ask to hold short by tower xD
After the plane took off
We continued taxi cargo apron
He took over control half way because there was a helicopter waiting to lineup too
The airfield was DAMN busy that day
All the training areas were full!
He then cut off the engine by himself
And I basically didn’t use my checklist in the whole flight! xD

Parked the aircraft and he asked Mohan to come quickly
I then called him “Expedite to cargo apron”
Capt Aung laughed when he heard that
Hahahahaha!
While waiting for Mohan
I asked for permission to backseat his next flight for Piper
Initially I wanna go for Dinesh’s flight but it was too late
So I backseat Soleh
And I was regretted to do that
The Piper was super noisy
Although he did straight and level but I still wanna vomit
HOT and NOISY!
Never ever back seat 9M-AUB anymore!



Clear to land RWY16


Pre-flight check on ground

Quite boring back seat experience cause the headset was not connected
[so noisy!! -.-]
