Down with flu...

This stupid rainy weather in Bintulu since the last few days make me flu since last Thursday. Nevertheless I still continue on my flying. The weird thing is the moment i walk to my aircraft, the flu suddenly dissappear or ceased for a while. Then after I landed it came back again. Hahahaha...

Now lets talk about the flying part. Well my flight was on Thursday afternoon at 12pm and 3.45pm. Yes I flew for 2 hours a day and it's going to be more in the airline soon. The wind was kinda strong for the 12nooon flight. And the weather was building up, that's why the wind was like crazy. On my final approach to Runway 17 the wind indicated on my PFD was 330/22 knots. The was 'hell' of a crosswind. Then i continue on my approach with the aircraft cock into the wind. When it came closer to the runway, I feel that I wouldnt make it safely so it increase the throttle to full power for a go-around and come back for another. In the midst of climbing to 1000ft,the ATC telling that there is a change of runway. So I make an orbit on downwind to stabilise on downwind for Runway 35. The controller on duty that day was a friend of mine. The wind on final for Runway 35 also the same-22 knots crosswind. When getting closer to the runway, the windspeed gradually decrease. That's the ood thing of it. And i manage to land the aircraft safely. I quickly request for a full stop and vacated via Alpha. Behind me,got few fellow cadets on solo flight also came down to land. I know God is with me in the aircraft that time. He helped me in my landing. Thank you my heavenly Father.
