Day 2 flight sim reflection
July 14, 2024
食飽就做番個自我檢討 其實對自己有d 失望！ 對上一次真飛都7年前，但呢個不是理由。 透過呢個program 再次ident 或者realise 呢7年面對既人事物係令我mentality 同stress mgt 有一定程度進步，但係有d 結構性問題係有很大進步空間： Reference point 我發現自己對取reference point 既learning curve 係吾夠敏感，日後真飛要問定教官攞料 或者用sim取得該「reference picture」 Procedure practice 雖然知道咩叫chairflying 但我發覺原來自己chairflying 既skill係未到班，反而用sim 做完會有印象，呢個可能係目前既死症 唯有再push下自己 Go around 話說今日上完堂我自己practice, 係無instructor 既情況下我試land, 頭兩次我見不對路 flyover 試過, 再試land, bounce back 我full power go around, 但最後一次 我land …crashed and die! 唸番點解會發生？ 其實果陣又夠油 但就係high speed 過頭 ，呢樣野解釋左preparation and

Today, it’s already the 7 days after my leave from the last position as a ground agent in HKIA. I come with a new idea to help myself review what I have learnt. Yes – the method is simply asking “What’s…” In aviation industry, no matter for our own interest as a GA pilot or
Aviation: Back to basic
January 7, 2019
Over the past couple of (few) days, I am going through my Aviation English learning. After few day, I suddenly have a feel stifled – don’t have a misinterpretation, it is not something that suffocate me to deplete the oxygen, instead it’s just a metaphor. I have been always improving myself for almost ten years.
