flying part of the story.

i've been wanting to update. but then i just can't be arsed to pick a few pictures out of like thousands to upload. which in the end i'll just decide not to update. but ohwells. i haven't been doing this for a while but i think you'd like a proper update.

first thing first. i passed my pt4. i can officially call myself a pilot after throwing myself into this course over a year ago. commercial pilot license, that's what i get after passing that exam. funny thing, it feels normal. i think i went all giddy when i got my driving license last time. but i feel like i just passed another progress test and a step closer to home this time around. that's about it.

7 of 11 passed the exam already. yes, it's 11. we've got Abang Rosli now. joined us around march last time. a great man with great advice. with a but of course. but we'll keep that in the circle. karang di"kurang asam"nya ku. HAHA. another 2 will be the doing pt4 very soon. so as the other 2, pt3 might be done in two flights. wish us luck? thanks!

the wait for pt4 was miserable i tell you. i went up a few weeks ago for my pt4. only to see yellow warning popped up after 10 minutes airborne. "R coolant LVL". that moment, i knew my pt4 wasn't going anywhere. went back to land. 2 slots given for pt4 only to be cancelled due to bad weather. the fourth one, i was quite lucky really. the weather was not meant to be good on that day. we took off the moment i heard the cloud was above my comfortable altitude for navigation and landed barely 5 minutes before heavy thunderstorm hit cranfield. rusty and lapses but i managed to pass. i can live with that.

oh btw, congratulations to those who will be going off to uk around september to start off their respective course. =D and anyone knows bila kami ada junior? it's already august.

oh and incase you ever wondered. these are the aircrafts.
