Private Pilot Course Ground School | Finished Atlas
After 4 years, I've finally finished my ground school. Maybe you've asked me why did it take so long when you can finish it in 3 weeks or less if your doing it full time. Well I started my ground school lessons back in August 2009 doing it part time every weekend while taking my bachelor's degree and for some reasons I stopped. Few years later April 2013 decided to go back, Continued my lessons and finally finished.
Meteorology Class
Here are my batch mates & ground instructors below.
Check out the YouTube video below as I try out my exdreme camera for my future flight training. I recommend watching it in HD. Have fun! (Disclaimer: I'm not the one piloting the airplane.)
Ferry Flight | Clark International Airport to Omni Aviaton Complex
Departing from Diosdado Macapagal International Airport, Frustrated Touch & Go Lesson due to full pattern meaning there already 4 aircraft on the pattern which is the maximum allowable traffic for Omni pattern. We Just ferry the aircraft (RP-C8846) from DMIA to Omni Aviation Complex.
It's my first time inside Clark Ramp and also the first time to follow taxi instructions. We did a Zoom take off / Military take off that rotates at 80 knots with 30 degrees pitch up. Landing bounces once which quite ok for a newbie.
