Too busy to post!

Believe me or not, kingbirders are too busy to post anything here. If you fly 3 to 4 times a day, each for at least 0.6 or 0.7 hours, you would be lying on the ground right after the flights. Yes, they are doing these in the hope that a solo flight could be made as soon as possible.

From the instructors, 2 kingbirders should be able to make solo flights tomorrow morning, given the weather conditions and traffic. Let's wait and see.

When to turn base?

The weather at Rangiora was not ideal today and flying has been halted in late morning. Hopefully the weather will be cleared up and tomorrow the kingbirders will practice their skills in circuits.

First Landing!!!!!!

This is the 3rd day of the flying training, the weather is much better than the last two days, it is less bumpy, and more comfortable. I feel it easier to control the aircraft, which give me more confidence. I did my first landing today!!!!! However, I didn't realise that unitl my instructor told me that " You Landed!!!!". I feel excited and happy that I landed safely!! Looking forward to tomorrow's training!

Oh my god! by matthew

Why I write the titile 'Oh My God'?
As yesterday Simon Sir set a DV in matthew's turn. Usually we only hear engine noise from the recording, but I can still hear his 'Oh My God' when his instructor demonstrated the wing drop stall.

After that, his name becomes Oh My God.

Today is my 3rd day of training. I feel more confident and satisfied with my flying. As the 1st and 2nd days, I felt sick when there was turbulence. But today, I get used to the bumpy condition and the g-force change. Therefore, I look forward to more flying tomorrow and onward.-V-

First Landing Today!!

Today is my 3rd Training day. In these few days, we did lots of trainings, like straight and level, turnings, stalls etc. The feeling of flying an aircraft in the sky is really nice!! With my instructor's guidance, I have made good improvements, from don't know how to control the aircraft smoothly to fly it comfortably, my instructor does help me a lot!

And today, I did my first landing by myself and the feel is good! With my instructor's comments, I'm looking forward to the trainings in the future days!!

Rangiora Traffic, EYJ, Downwind for 07, full stop, number 1

My first time to perform landing in real world!

It is totally different from the flight simulation! Strong wind push my plane form the side, it's very scary! In flight sim, all the thing can re-start if we hv made a mess in the screen. But we cannot do it in the real situation!

So even we can fly a beautiful circuit in the virtual training or land on the ground without making a screaming sound, I will feel very happy that I can land on the ground mostly by myself safely =D

In the coming days, we will fly circuits and hope that we can complete it just like what we hv done in the computer. yo!

First landing

Today's the third day of flying. I performed my first landing. It's really exciting and amazing. My instructor, Dave said it's a good landing which made me feel confident and happy.
The life in NZ is quite enjoying. I love the green enviroment there.
