Post from Tamworth

Time now 1918hrs, 19th Feb 2006. 16 days into my course over at Tamworth, and this shall be my first post ever since i left the 'fine' city.

It's be quite some time since i'm over here at Tamworth, Australia. And i've completed 5 sorties. Tommorrow shall be my 6th and the 7th sortie shall be my phase 1 test flight. Based on my performance over the last 5 sorties, i'm pretty much in the region of borderline case. Only managed to get "Marginal" for my last 2 sorties which happened to be graded.

I was advised by my instructor that if i do wish to make it for the upcoming test 1, i have to put in more effort to be able to breeze through it. So for now, i think i'll just do my best, and see how it goes. Wouldn't pin too much hope on it, and the funny thing about it was that i thought i did quite ok for my sorties, only to get barely pass grades.

Stress is definitely the most overwhelming thing over here. All the studying, mental flight, pre-flight briefs, post-flight de-brief, mass briefs, can take up quite alot of your time. Not forgetting the stress in the plane, to pilot it and to get scolding at the same time.

Alright, shall keep this post short and simple. I've changed the song for the blog, and yeah, it's emo song yet again. That's all folks. Fingers crossed, i hope i make it...

Till then.
