Sanjay Is Unleashing Rage

Wednesday, January 30, 2008
it is almost half of the day and our friend and soon to be nepal airlines pilot sanjay is in unusual form. here's what he has done so far today.

eat 3 hot dogs
drink 2 cups of coffee
then again eat a plate of baked beans
scolded joe for teasing his "unique" accent
and conquering the internet at school
...and still using the internet at the villa

sanjay is also known as paul. so paul is not in a tip-top condition.

Navigation Review

Tuesday, January 29, 2008
at the moment, im almost reaching the last half quarter of the PPL flying. with about 8 to 10 hours left, i'll be finishing PPL, and if that happens i can do CAA6 ground school with peace of mind. now im doing navigation, and there's 4 navigation sorties and 2 general handling sorties left before i'll be going for the flying test. the examiner will be captain razak or popularly know as 04...yeah, his nickname is a number. doesn't get any cooler than that. anyhow, below are some pictures and all useless nonsense about navigation for you to check out. let's make this sound like a some sort of tutorial...or at least pretend like it's a tutorial.


we, first fill up the flight plan, noting down all the details about routes, types of aircraft,time of departure, time to estimated reporting points and all other stuff that i have no idea what any of it means. but apparently all of them is a good thing.


then we grab the navigation log, and again we wrote down all the same thing that we wrote before in the flight plan, plus with information about the amount of fuel carried and safety altitude.


continuing, the next thing that i usually do is to plot the map. or plot the map first and then fill the flight plan. or both at the same time.


now the next step. open your wardrobe (and this is the part in a movie where the voice of singing angels come in),take out your uniform and strike a pose like julius caesar, and yell "i'm the great one!". and instantly, be prepared to lose a lot of friends.

and that's how you prepare for PPL navigation. for the CPL navigation, i'll tell later. but it'll be more interesting and it'll involve things like rainbows and flowers and fairy dust. so stay tuned.



above is a picture of my room, and it has no moral values behind it. it's just a method of wasting space for this post. so again, continuing the occasional half minutes of boredom, authored by the skunk rascal of batch 10.

Who Gave Him Permission To Go Up?

Friday, January 25, 2008
so another flying on friday, and i got a solo sortie. when i arrive at the training area, i realized i was the only one over there. it's like as if the area is specially provided for me. but if you think about it for a moment, it might be true. who knows right. maybe in a couple of weeks jazmi training area is going to exist. cross your fingers.

while im there, i spend a good part of the sortie or exercise hitting the shutter button of my camera. yes i am that bored. and now you can share in the boredom. it’s like watching an aviation documentary on tv, but instead of professional pilots it’s one guy who have no idea on how a plane can fly. enjoy.





The Blister Exist

Thursday, January 24, 2008
now after gaining some hours, finally the eagle 150B had finally give me the good of it. and everything can be signified by the picture below.



yes. that is my right thumb people. with a blister along it's edge. i got this from flying a light aircraft. dammit what a sissy. my thumb needs a lot of work out. i'll see about that. but still, not to forget, im not just going to let u guys know that i had a blister and at the same time, i'm a class one powder puff. i want to show you, the vicious piece of plastic that attacked my thumb with no mercy. people, i give u, the trim switch.



take a look at it. it's the one that has the "flying saucer" look. very alien indeed. so i hope that i've gain some sympathy from all of you by showing this picture...hopefully. if you still don't even feel it, next time i'll try and put a picture of zul. and for sure you'll feel the sadness when you look at it. thank you and stay classy. bye bye.

ATPL Baby, ATPL

Friday, January 11, 2008

wow. this blog is still alive. holy whatever it is thats not dirty!... got it? not-dirty...dammit i suck. its one of things where you're trying to be funny and the next thing you know, you just realize that you sound like a total fool. have you ever had that kind of feeling?....no?...i have that all the time. ouch.

anyhow, ive started ATPL ground school. it started early december actually. but i don't have time to write about it. im busy. or trying to look like im busy. or in other words, it's just my excuse to make me sound like a stock broker investing for a multi-million dollar project who wakes up at 5 in the morning and eat bagle for breakfast. does that mean anything to you?... i dont think so. its been a month, and we're doing it combo style. we fly on monday and wednesday, and ground school for sunday tuesday and thursday.




cool.

Happy New Year

Tuesday, January 01, 2008
what a way to start a new year. yes. with me locked inside my room not feeling well with a head having a sensation like it weighs almost a ton. the throat is hurting and i’m hungry. what are the chances i’ll walk outside and find a restaurant that serves delicious pancakes?...none. ok that's good. anyway, happy new year, and may your new year's resolution be realized... and also may my new year's resolution be realized too.
