do you guys fly aeroplanes as a hobby or as a job?

[Kamikaze]

i graduated areonuatics way back 1990, and started to flying cessna 150 as a student pilot. but that was long time ago.

[PissKhanXXX]

Kamikaze: good to know. licence types, endorsements, and logged hours?

[Kamikaze]

graduated BS aircraft technology, as for licence was able to pass just six subjects for Aircaft and Powerplant, Theres about 12 subjects, well i wasnt able to continue. as for flying Cessna -150 logged in a very few hours of it, the last time we almost crashed.The artificial horizon was not functioning well. its was basic flight manuevers, i got disoriented and went into a right spiral, made a wrong move when i tried to correct it with left pedal, hell it was a wrong move should have made with just aileron. my FI was really mad at me. he he he, although a good friend of mine.

at was able to teach at Cebu Aero Tech sch. for six years about 1991-1996, and Indiana School of Aeronautics for almost two years.

how about you seems your very interested in flying, are you currently flying?, thats cool.

wow, i wish i knew how to fly planes... *sigh* i wish i will learn one of these days.

pisskhanxxx: musta imo cessna bai?

sensei kamikaze: wow!!! you fly? a flying hitokiri!!! pildi kenshin sa altitude!!! joke joke joke. bitaw sensei, pila ka years ang aeronautics and pila ang gasto sa school?

yep, before Reggie-san. that was the good old days. i must be old then?

Kamikaze: that happens a lot, especially when you don't watch the ASI closely. you must have thought it was going for a right spin. well if that was a spin, instead of a spiral, the left rudder could have solved it.

the opposite happened to me. was doing stalling exercises around 4000' AAL. when the aeroplane stalled, my FI deliberately banked it to the left for an incipient spin. thinking it was going down left spiral, i banked right immediately, which made it spin even more. in less than 3 seconds, we lost 700', and felt more than 2 G's.

as of the moment, i have around 10 hours logged on a C-152. i'm just waiting for my medical check-up results for my solo next week.

[Kamikaze]

Good luck!

finished PGC .. 2 years ago.
pero til now wa pa ka fly.. hehhe

[PissKhanXXX]

i think PGC would be equal to General Flying Progress Test (GFPT) here.

the good thing with the program that i'm doing right now is that we fuse theory and practical. theory in the morning, practical in the afternoon. it's comprehensive, intense, and heavy on the pocket, but speeds up everything.

with doing the whole lot of theory in, say, more than 3 years, by the time you actually hop in the aeroplane for the practicals, you would have to review all the theory side of it again. waste of time and effort, i should say.
