First Flight







今天终于开始飞了。早上8点,我们到Flight Operations的office去报到,然后就开始准备我们8:30的flight。可是,天气似乎不太理想,当时还弥漫着很浓的雾,visibility也只有2 miles而已。当时,还真的蛮担心今天不能飞,眼看时间一分一秒逼近8点半,天气还未好转,又觉得有一点失望了。不过,instructor还是跟我们说可以带我们去飞机那边做checking。所以,我们就到飞机那里去学怎样做checking,还有很多checklist要跟着做。一开始,是check外面的东西,然后才进去飞机。一进去飞机时候,整身已经开始流汗了,我不知道为什么这么热。然后,我们就开始照着checklist一个一个check。



差不多check完的时候,天气已经是艳阳高照了,visibility也达到5 miles,算是可以飞了!我们和instructor准备一下,就开始进去飞机了。我和partner是轮流驾的,每个人半小时,第一个sector是我先驾,所以我就先坐进去咯。接着,就做了很多checklist等等。这个要check,那个要check,什么都要check,一个也不可以忽略。待一切准备好后,我就绑上harness(seat belt),然后plug in我们的headset。Instructor started the engine, made contact with ATC. Then, we were ready for our flight。过程我就不说得很详细,要是真的要写得很详细的话,会写到晚上也写不完。反正就是instructor推throttle,然后我们taxy到holding point。得到clearance后,我们就taxy出去runway。之后又要做radio call,得到clearance后,instructor踩着brakes,推full throttle,然后放brake,冲啊!Airspeed Indicator showing the increasing speed, 10kts, 20kts, 35 kts, 45 kts, 55kts, ready to rotate!Instructor pulled the control column, the nose pitched up, and we were airborne finally.飞上去后,我们保持在Malacca City的上空1000 feet左右,然后Miss TS(Instructor)就示范rate 1 turn, 30 degree bank to the left and right。









当时,从飞机上看出去,还可以看到Eye of Malaysia,Malacca Historic Site, Jonker Walk等等,实在是爽啊~然后,她就说"You have control",我左手抓住control column,右手放在throttle lever,双脚放在rudder padel,就说:"I have control",then就是我在驾着飞机了。我先做一个straight and level,then 30 degree bank to the left,airspeed maintain 90-95kts,2200RPM。之后,我交回给TS。她就问我有没有看过steep turn,我说没有,突然间她推完full throttle,直接来一个left bank 45 degree steep turn up。当时,我整个人感觉哇,好难受,可以感觉到那个G-force的impact在身上。幸好只是一下子而已,然后就交给我做turning,turn left, turn right。没过多久,她就说要回去land了。我觉得怎么那么快啊?那半个小时似乎是我一生中最段的30分钟,一下子就过去了。TS就took over control,回去land。第一次的landing很糟糕,非常bumpy。然后,就taxy到MFA main apron。我和partner交换位置,这次是我backseat,轮到他飞。同样的,拿到clearance后,我们又重新出发。TS做take off,这次是飞到1500 feet,还是Malacca City上空,转来转去。









由于我这位partner去年在New Zealand驾过飞机了,所以对他来说是没有问题的,flying hours也已经累积到将近100 hours了,很可惜基于某种原因,无法完成他的课程。又过了半个小时,我们就回去land了。第二次的landing稍微好一点,不过还是不太理想,哈哈。After that, 我们taxy回去MFA apron。下飞机后,感觉好像刚才的一个小时是那么的不真实,我一直想,我刚才真的飞上去了吗?哇老,简直是不可思议。今天的flight总算告一段落了,回来房间后,我就把flying hours填进我的flying logbook,终于累积了一生中的第一个30分钟flying hours。还有199hours and 30 minutes to go!加油吧!
