She's a mystery =)
gonna fly tmrw.. and i'm feeling pretty nervous..
so i'm writing now to ease off some tensions... i hope =)
well, someone of you asked me how's life like in syfc and stuffs..
haha.. hmm..
it's a place of dreams, but not the flower scenery or beautiful stuffs like this..
It's where people put in loads of effort to get their dreams moving in the right flight path..
A place of high discipline and determination.. In there, you've only got yourself and your squadmates to depend on, but mainly ( round 80%) on yourself..
Very seldom will you have a flying instructor spoon-feeding you like we were in secondary schools.
Planes will keep taking off and landing every few moments, during the 4 waves.
so safety is extremely important. A negligence on your part might get you out of syfc.
Lots of preparations need to be done before your flight, and a minimum of 8 hours of sleep.
you won't want to go up there sleepy-headed and unprepared. There is a heavy price to pay for it, trust me..
As for the scoldings.. haha well.. everyone will receive it.. it's jst sooner or later..
But no matter what, always bear in mind they scold you so that you'll improve and and change for the better.. And they will push you the extra mile if you're good and show some really good potential =)
Life's tough in there, but airforce gonna be much tougher.
Lot's of checks, from on-ground checks to in-flight checks, it's pretty difficult to memmorise in the start.. But there's a pattern to it, so yea =) afterawhile things will start to get better..
and till your checks become 2nd nature, be sure to keep on reading and do some mental flying or run through the checklist in ur mind.
One thing i feel is that you need to enter your plane feeling confident. You can't enter the plane feeling all emotional and down. There's no time to be emotional when you're in the airbase, whether in plane or on grounds.
So a kind and goodwill advice from me, dun listen to sad and emotional music before your flight, or the day before..
When you enter the airbase, be sure to leave all ur worries and sadness, dun care wat kind of sad feelings, leave it at the entrance, and after ur flight and your good flying results, you can then leave the airbase and collect ur feelings on the way too..
=)
alrite back to studying for tmrw's flight..
