Hari ni first day bawak aircraft LIBERTY XL2, better then CESSNA 152 actually. Bangun pagi pukul 730am lepas tu tunggu bas pukul 8am. Sampai je pegi front desk, check-in flight and tunggu si Alex instructor aku because that time dia tengah terbang lagi. Alex sampai aku terus amik kunci then buat pre checklist untuk aircraft aku tu. Check-check semua dah ok, masuk dalam and "Clear Prop !" tak tau asal kena jerit setiap kali nak start angine, law ape tah.
After that buat start-up, sedikit complicated because aku kena cari buttons yang perlu di setting and on semua. Trim sikit, landing light on, set attitude, megnetos check, flap 20degree, alternator on, L' P' temp ok, fuel injected on, main power on. Semua dah ok tukar frequency ATIS 120.9kkHz dulu untuk dengar weather information.
Cloud base KAVOK which is good, visibality 5nm, information BRAVO, QNH 1013. Lepas dengar ATIS tukar ground frequency to 119.9kHz, Setting semua then taxying pergi ke runway 29R because nak pergi training area. Petengahan jalan, berhenti ke tepi untuk buat checklist kali kedua. Rudder, control free, brake ok then tukar frequency 132.8kHz untuk ke training area.
Stop di lineup bay and buat radio call ke tower. "Bankstown tower, this is Charlie Lima Tango liberty XL2, ready on runway two-ninerr right for upwind departure, information Bravo", then tower said "Charlie Lima Tango clear for take-off". Aku masuk runway then aku balas tower "clear for take-off, Charlie Lima Tango".
Full power and control rudder. Can feel the G-force more stronger than CESSNA 152 because LIBERTY laju and control dia more sensetive, sekejap jer dah terbang masa take-off. Hari ni hari yang indah, walaupun tak nampak depan sebab high-nose aircraft tapi bahagian atas,kiri dan kanan boleh lihat. Tak macam Cessna 152 boleh tengok kiri kanan je, coz over wings.
Sampai training area buat step turn 60degree angle of bank, best gila sebab aircraft ni laju so bila dia berpusing-pusing tu rasa seronok. Controller dia pun smooth sebab tolak sikit dah menjunam, elok dikatakan sesuai untuk acrobatic aircraft. Enjoy gila hari ni bawak Liberty, boring ngantok semua hilang. How wonderful if dapat fly dengan girlfriend kat sebelah, i gonna make you crash and burn my dear WAHAHA !
