First SOLO

I cleared my first solo on Liberty today!

during the 1 hour flight

as I was holding east of airfield

Capt Aung suddenly said

"it is ok for you to go solo after this?"

I cant believed what I heard

and I straight away replied

"yes sir. I can do it!"

but there was an AK/MAS plane on the runway

it was about to take off and requesting backtrack

another one on 5miles final

Capt Aung was worried that we need to hold for another 15minutes

which meant that I cant go solo due to darkening sky

as that time was already 1800 hours

thanks God the tower asked us to do a tight circuit and short final

it did save a lot of time

while taxying to cargo apron

Capt Aung requested the tower to send me for my 1st solo flight

with the callsign "Suria 08 Sierra"

He jumped off the plane after I requested taxi

without shutting down the engine

and again

I taxi to holding point Bravo

the 1st time to taxi without Capt Aung beside me was kinda weird

and while at holding point as I added power

the plane started to move

so I expetited all the checks with my brakes holding

and requested line up/take off

CATs checks done, TOOK OFF!

airborned nicely at 61kts

left turn 1000ft

but my spacing between the runway was kinda tight

Capt Aung realised it on ground too

while reporting downwind I was No.3

and I had no idea where the heck was No.1 and 2

then the tower said I was No.2 and report while visual No.1

I SAW NOTHING!

well, just replied a "Negative"

and request a right hand orbit

on final

aimed the piano keys

flare after power idle

hold and look at the end of runway

~bmmmp~

nice and smooth landing without any bounce

and it was having a 10kts crosswind!

OH MY GOD and I DID IT!

praise the lord!

thanks god for giving me the chance to go solo on this fine day

thanks for my brothers and sisters that prayed hard for me

thanks for all the seniors' useful tips

especially Mr.Lim's

I was so happy once I touchdown

such a nice landing and I will never forget this day for the rest of my life!

and of course,

THANK YOU, CAPT AUNG!  ♥
