Singapore Youth Flying Club

On Wednesday, 14 July 2010, we visited the Singapore Youth Flying Club. It was a good experience for most of us as it allowed us to gain further exposure to the aerospace industry. I'm sure it also enabled a number of us to make decisions which may affect our lives.

As students in an aerospace related course, I strongly believe that such experiences would benefit us greatly. Coincidentally, just the week before our visit, we were learning about flight instruments such as the airspeed indicator, attitude indicator, altimeter, turn-coordinator, heading indicator, vertical-speed indicator, etc. During the visit, for those of us who were fortunate enough to sit in the actual cockpit of a plane, we actually managed to see how the actual instruments look like. While in the cockpit, there was also someone who kindly gave an explanation about each of the many flight instruments. This has greatly enhanced our knowledge on aircrafts.

On a personal basis, I feel that this trip has greatly affected me. It allowed me to be more determined in pursuing my dreams. Such an opportunity is rather rare, and since it has been given to me, I will treasure it.

Live your dreams. Don't ever look back and regret.

Fundamentals of Flight lab session on Friday, 16 July 2010 was awesome. As aerospace students, one of the most crucial lessons for us would be to truly understand how to fly a plane. It would also surely be an achievement. Although we are not yet qualified to fly an actual plane, we managed to fly a simulator. Using the simulator, we got to fly a Cessna 172 as well as a Boeing 747-400. It was an amazing experience. Using the joystick, we controlled the aircraft's rudder, elevator and ailerons which affects an aircraft's yaw, pitch and roll. While it may not be a real aircraft, I feel that it was a real enough experience. It may just be a simulator, but the scenes and conditions depicted are realistic and while it may seem like an easy task, one must understand that it is not easy trying to take off and land even a simulated plane.

Of course, like most things, it is difficult in the beginning, but with patience and practice, the desired outcome will definitely be achieved.
