Finally, after 4 months grounded due to CA6 exams, I get to fly with my instructor this afternoon. I was quite scared prior to the flight. On 1 hand I was hoping that the flight be postpone as late as possible. On the other hand I also wants to get my hands on the control column and to get off the ground. It’s a dilemma.
The flight turns out good. I was controlling the aircraft subconsciously just like how a driver drives a car or a cyclist rides his bike. I don’t remember every single detail like some of the radio call and certain checks that I was able to carry out by memory in the past.
After the flight, my instructor encouraged me. I did most of the stuff right- Medium turns, steep turns, clean and dirty stalls, and approach configuration stall. When I was asked to carry out the Precautionary Forced Landing, I told my instructor that I’m not familiar with the procedures. She patiently walked me thru the procedure step by step. I was very grateful for that.
It’s encouraging to know that in life you win some and you lose some. You may be good at these but weak at others. I felt a part of me comes alive after the good flight.
