Struggle
Well, my flying phase didn’t start off nicely. I was behind schedule from the others for almost two weeks due to: first, less working days (4days a week), second, weather problem and third, aircraft problem which is common here. Some times the aircraft get grounded some times it needs to be overhauled.
Before I started my flying phase, I never thought it would be harder than ground school which I need only to study the books. In flying phase, there’s more to learn than just flying the plane. First thing first, all the checks have to be done precisely. Secondly, the RT (radiotelephony) calls to the ground and tower which is quite bugging me recently and thirdly, performance in flight as in taking over control of the aircraft. That’s basically three majors perspective.
I must admit I’m bad at recognising landmarks. There’s still time I get airborne and I don’t know exactly where I am! Not to say trying to hold the pitch and maintaining wing’s level in flight. Besides that, the RT calls! I feel my adrenaline rushes every time I try to contact the tower or ground. It gets worse when the traffic is busy and no lag should be expected to response them. I believe I must have disappointed my instructor today for not performing well and I deeply know where my problem is. I must say rehearsing on ground and doing it practically in flight is two different things! My mind just stuck every time.
Apart from that, I’ve failed one of 4 of the UK papers I had the other day. It really disappoint me and of course my family. I’m really stressed out for the studies as well. There’s a lot of times I cried out loud in myself wanting to go back to my family in Kuching. I really miss them a lot! This thinking never fades but I truly understand this couldn’t be granted and I must strive harder and harder! It’s only 18months training and I believe God has planned it out well. I’ll just stick to HIS plan and keep going. Strengthen me Lord. Strengthen me…
