weather

Maybe I have got too used to waking up early, this morning, i woke up at 2am. Stunned, that was without alarm. I saw the reflection from the mirror, the tree out there was shaking vigorously and that implied strong wind which is not good for flying. Nevertheless, I continued sleeping while waiting for my 4am alarm.

"tang tang tang........." my alarm rang. Before my eyes could be opened widely, i saw the vague static reflection of the trees... not really static but much steadier than the one i saw at 2 am. the wind can dies off within 2 hours.... unpredictable.

Wind was showing 8 knots when i got to school, full headwind. I went up in that condition. Within an hour, it changed to 14 knots. Didn't really realise it in flight though. But I did notice the airspeed was much slower that more power is needed for the final approach. So by the time i reach back to ground, ATIS information changed to B, 320/14. and that implied I can't go solo because the upper limitation for solo is 8 knots of total wind.... However, I was somehow contented today because I have performed 4 smooth landings and good circuits up there. :)

After came back to ground, we were asked by our instructors to wash the aeroplane. yea, WASH the aeroplane. never experienced washing one even when i was a trainee aircraft engineer. It was great fun for 12 of us to wash one small aeroplane. haha. More like our playground than proper washing.... the result was satisfactory though. =)

Tonight!

The night continued with CS lan party... again, another superb one.
