    AP65 day

    It was May 19th. Everyone passed 225 flights traning that means we have experience as a pilot for 225 hours! Now I have the commercial pilot license, multi-engine license and instrument rating needed for becoming a TG pilot. That day was the last day in Hua-hin as a student pilot. That really make me confuse in my feeling. One says that
    no more for Hua-hin. 1 year living in Hua-hin is boring enough. The other still miss something there, my nice instructor, our Seminole plane, our school and that naughty dog f__king around on my runway!! (Too bad, no girl I have to miss there.)

    All funny moments still be memorable. I won't forget about them. Our graduation party was also fun. I was in the team to create our presentation. I still remember the first scene in the presentation. It was the bad landing followed with my excuse in the next scene. Everyone in the party believed that it was really mine. Well. Promise me that you won't tell anyone else. I'll tell you the truth. They just take the shot of my excuse. Then, take the terrible landing shot from someone else, P' Joice. Because we need the real terrible landing which I really don't have any idea to do. :P

    Poor P' Joice....

    My first solo

    I can't remember the date. For all pilot trainees, after their first 10 flights with instructor they need to be checked before they can solo. Unfortunately, I got to be checked with the Oh-My-God checker. Well.. That check flight really scared me. Eventually, I passed! But, you know what? My first solo flight actually made me more anxious than that checker.
    I sat in the cockpit alone. no one could help you if something unsafe happened.
    I said to myself,"Come on! no one blame you. It's better." Then, forwarded the throttle and lifted off the aircraft.

    "Jesus! I can fly!"

    My 1st airborne

    It was on 05 July 04, quite a long time ago. I know this day must be one of the extraordinary days for a pilot's life. I can remember those feeling that I grabed the control wheel and took the airplane off myself. My instructor sat beside me on my right hand
    did nothing but instructed. It was so many tasks to do during taking off. I admitted that I was nervous at that time.

    After airborne, I said, "Hua Hin Approach Hotel Sierra Tango Charlie November airborne climb passing 300 feet"
    Honestly, the aircraft had climbed 500 feet already. And, my good excuse for bad preparation for flight is Yeah! I know everyone can do such a ridiculous thing for the 1st time. Why can't I just misread the altitude? Just think about the landing myself for the 1st time. I'd better keep it secret.


    Well.. All I can let you know is today I land smoothly as silk.
