I felt little bit nervous when my instructor leave the plane. But I still try my best on my flight. Fortunately, I had a good landing. Woho!! I done it finally when I get out to the plane!!

I got my first solo today!!!!!
Today weather is fair but still have some crosswind. I had two flights today. First flight, I had praticed circuit with some emergency produrces such as flapless landing, engine failure after take off. Next, it is my solo flight. My instructor told me lots of things before exit the aircraft. ''If uncomfortable, go around!'' which is memorable for me.

Remarkable First Solo Done with EYC
To perform a first solo ， it is not an easy task and cannot be controlled by ourselves. Although you are ready to go solo ， you still need to rely on the weather. Our progress has been stopped serveral times on behalf of weather no matter it is sunny day or raining day as we cannnot fly on strong wind conditions. my first solo has been postponed also due to the wind. However today i finally make it ， i have done my solo with a crosswind approach ， the feeling of landing cross wind on my own is very amazing ！
Anyway ＂i have control！！＂
Specail thanks to my instructor andrew and jason who release me to solo ！

Last lesson in Circuit !
Today , my instructor taught me Glide Approach and EFATO . In flight simulator , I good at this those action but in the real plane it is quite difficult for me to control !
I had try glide approach and full stop in Rangiora for two time . First time , I was too near the airport , need to go around . Second time, I got a low speed and my insturctor help me to balance the wing to land . I was still fail in this part of training .
After training , I had a debriefing with my insturctor Andrew who told me some skills in this part which is very useful . He also said " tomorrow you will do glide approach and EFATO again and have one more practice in Circuits then you will get a SOLO !!!!! "
Yeah ! This is a big happy news for me !!

full controlled circuit
[21/2/2012]
The weather is fine, overcast, with a bit chill in the morning,
but become hot after the noon.
Today i have two flight, first is about climbing, descending, turning movement, and stall recovery; everything is fine, good controlling especially turning and stall recovery is quite good, but need more practice on climbing to straight and level and descending to straight and level.
The next one is the introduction of circuit, which cover what should be done in a basic circuit, there are many things need to remember, and have to get more acquainted to the cockpit control surface.
Overall everything is fine, apart from flying was doing wifi source searching....yeah i found it finally, then start surfing in the net, also made a call to my mum (LINE), and my dear as well

We can't fly today!!
The weather is very cold today. When we arrive, Mike sneak into the aero club and open the door for us !
After learning climbing, descending and medium turn, we wait for flying.
We wait, wait and wait but unfortunately we cannot fly as the weather is really bad.
So we head to christchurch downtown.
We visited several place such as the museum and the park. The museum is a bit boring in some parts but sometimes you can find some surprise ! The park is nice and there are many ducks swimming in the river as a squad. We wonder our host can be there so that we can have peking duck, roasted duck for our dinenr!
Overall, it is a peaceful day today.
We miss flying and our planes !

First Flights
We have all enjoyed our first flights today.
Flight sim is definitely different from that of reality, but the virtual practice really helps.
All the 4 aircrafts were the same to me until I did the 'walk-around check', one that requires us to touch the aircraft quite often. When I was investigating the surfaces of the aircraft, I learnt a lot about her 'history' - to my surprise, I have quickly become quite emotionally attached to her.
I look forward to flying with 'her' and my amiable British instructor in the following days.
